For the purposes of this Section 2.3, each Subordinated Notes Trustee shall conclusively presume that a Payment Event of Default has occurred simultaneously (i) with the occurrence of a default described in Section 5.1(a), (b) or (c) of a Subordinated Notes Indenture, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Representative has given notice of same to Funding, the Partnership or to any other Representative; and (ii) upon a default under Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement, so long as the Administrative Agent has given notice of the same to the Subordinated Notes Trustees, whether or not the three (3) day period has passed. 2.4.
