“COLB Concentration Excess Amount” means, at any time, the aggregate, for all interests in COLB Mortgage Loans, of the amount by which (i) the Outstanding Balance of all Pool Assets constituting interests in COLB Mortgage Loans purchased from any CNB Customer exceeds (ii) the COLB Concentration Limit for such CNB Customer. For the purpose of calculating the Net Conforming Pool Balance and the Net Non-Conforming Pool Balance, the COLB Concentration Excess Amount shall be allocated first, to Pool Assets which are included in clause (i) of the preceding sentence

“COLB Concentration Limit” has the meaning set forth on Annex I.

 

“Direct CNB Customer Concentration Excess Amount” means, at any time, the aggregate, for all Designated CNB Customers, of the amount by which (i) the Outstanding Balance of Advances made to a Designated CNB Customer exceeds (ii) the Direct CNB Customer Concentration Limit for such Designated CNB Customer. For the purpose of calculating the Net Conforming Pool Balance and the Net Non-Conforming Pool Balance, the Direct CNB Customer Concentration Excess Amount shall be allocated first, to Advances which are included in clause (i) of the preceding sentence and relate to Non-Conforming Mortgage Loans, and second, to Advances which are included in clause (i) of the preceding sentence and relate to Conforming Mortgage Loans.
