In the event that a Co-Agent elects not to have its Conduit make any such Loan to Borrower, the applicable Co-Agent shall promptly notify the Funding Agent (who shall promptly notify the Borrower) and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Notice as to all Lenders, (1) each Unaffiliated Committed Lender severally agrees to fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of the requested Advance, (2) each of such Conduit’s Committed Lenders severally agrees to fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of its Conduit Group’s Percentage of such Loan and (3) each other Conduit shall fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of the required Advance, provided that (x) at no time may the aggregate principal amount of any Conduit Group’s Loans outstanding, exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of such Conduit’s Committed Lenders’ Commitments, and (y) such Conduit Group’s Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, such Conduit Group’s “Allocation Limit”), and (y) at no time may the aggregate principal amount of any Unaffiliated Committed Lender’s Loans outstanding exceed the lesser of (x) such Unaffiliated Committed Lender’s Commitment and (y) its Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, such Unaffiliated Committed Lender’s “Allocation Limit”).
