Each Borrowing Notice (along with a Borrowing Base Certificate) shall (i) specify the desired amount of such Advance, which amount must be at least equal to $250,000, (ii) specify the date of such Advance, (iii) specify the Assets to be financed on such Funding Date (including the appropriate file number and Outstanding Asset Balance for each Asset, and identifying each Rated Retained Security or Loan by type and whether such Loan is a Senior Loan, Senior B-Note Loan, Subordinated Loan, Acquired Loan, or Participation Loan) and (iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been met.

Each Issuer shall promptly thereafter notify the Administrative Agent whether such Issuer has determined to make the requested Advance on the terms specified by the Seller, and the Issuers shall notify the Administrative Agent of the funding allocation as between them (if

other than proportional to their Issuer Purchase Limits). The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Seller whether the Issuers have determined to make the requested purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to the Issuers. If the Issuers have determined not to make the entire amount of an Advance requested to be made, the Administrative Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed Advance to all of the Liquidity Banks concurrently specifying the date of such Advance, the aggregate amount of such Advance to be funded by the Liquidity Banks (which amount shall be equal to the portion of the Advance not funded by the Issuers), and each such Liquidity Bank’s portion thereof (determined ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment).

(b) On the date of each Advance, the applicable Purchasers shall upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III , make available to the Seller in same day funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Seller in its Borrowing Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3 , an aggregate amount equal to the least of (i) the amount requested by the Seller for such Advance, (ii) an amount equal to the Availability on such Funding Date or (iii) the Facility Amount.

(d) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Liquidity Bank to remit its pro rata share of each Advance shall be several from that of each other Liquidity Bank and the failure of any Liquidity Bank to so make such amount available to the Seller shall not relieve any other Liquidity Bank of its obligation hereunder. No Liquidity Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Liquidity Bank to make funds available in connection with any Advance.

(a) The Seller may, upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice (such notice to be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City, New York time) on such day) to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs; provided that each partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an aggregate amount equal to at least $1,000,000.

the Advances Outstanding, and Seller has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any payments owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination. Any reduction of the Advances Outstanding shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000. Any such reduction will occur only if sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, second to the payment of related accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid by paying such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, and third to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in respect of the termination of any Hedge Transaction; provided , however , if such amounts are received during the Amortization Period, such amounts shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.10 .

To the extent any Purchaser’s Interest Rate is determined by reference to the CP Rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such Purchaser’s CP Rate and the Interest (including unpaid Interest, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Seller with respect to each Advance, as applicable, on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or before the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

Section 2.6 Percentage Evidenced by each Variable Funding Certificate .
