          (b) Following receipt of such Funding Notice, the Deal Agent, in the case of the Fifth Third Purchaser Group, and each Liquidity Agent, in the case of each other Purchaser Group, will consult with RFC, or the related CP Entity, as applicable, in order to assist RFC or the CP Entity, as applicable, in determining whether or not to make the Advance.

Each Liquidity Agent will notify the related Investors by 11:00 am (New York time) on such Funding Date if the CP Entity has elected not to effect all or a portion of the proposed Funding. On the Funding Date, the CP Entity or Investors shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, initiate a wire to the Borrower no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time), at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Borrower in its Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3 , an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower from such

In any such case, the Liquidity Agent for the related Purchaser Group shall give notice of such failure not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Funding Date to each Investor for such CP Entity and to the Borrower, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such CP Entity and (ii) the amount of the Funding which it had elected but failed to make. Subject to receiving such notice, each of such CP Entity’s Investors shall effect such funding on such Funding Date and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

Prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, RFC, on behalf of the Fifth Third Purchaser Group and each Liquidity Agent, with respect to its Purchaser Group, shall determine the actual Yield Rate and the Yield in respect of the immediately preceding Accrual Period.

With respect to any such reduction, (a) the Commitments of the Investors within each Purchaser Group shall be reduced proportionately based upon the total Commitments of such Purchaser Group and (b) each Purchaser Group Facility Limit shall be reduced pro rata based upon the Purchaser Group Facility Limit as a percentage of the Facility Limit; provided , however , that each partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be irrevocable.

Such cash shall be remitted to the Deal Agent for the account of the Lenders, to be distributed by the Deal Agent to the Lenders, pro-rata. Any such reduction of the Capital shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and 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 Deal Agent shall apply such amounts first to the pro-rata reduction of the Capital, second to the payment of related accrued Yield on the amount of the Yield to be repaid by paying such amounts to the respective Lenders, and third to the payment of any Breakage Costs.
