Mandatory Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency In the event that the amount of total Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay Loans (and, to the extent necessary, provide cover for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.04(k)) in such amounts as shall be necessary so that the amount of total Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Commitments. In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, promptly (but in no event later than 5 Business Days), the Borrower shall either prepay (x) the Loans (and, to the extent necessary, provide cover for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.04(k)) so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly cured or (y) the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness that is Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly cured (and, as among the Loans (and Letters of Credit) and the Other Covered Indebtedness that is Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, at least ratably (based on the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness) as to payments of Loans in relation to Other Covered Indebtedness); provided, that if within such 5 Business Day period, the Borrower shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan, which plan is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will enable any such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days of the occurrence of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the 5 Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected in accordance with such plan (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations as to the allocation of such prepayments set forth above in this Section 2.09(b)); provided further, that to the extent such Borrowing Base Deficiency is a result of the failure of the Borrowing Base to include the minimum Senior Investments required pursuant to Section 5.13(e) because of a change in either (i) the ratio of the Gross Borrowing Base to the Senior Debt Amount or (ii) the Relevant Asset Coverage Ratio, such 30-Business Day period shall be extended by an additional 15 Business Days solely with respect to compliance with Section 5.13(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest in accordance with Section 2.11(c) for so long as the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during such 30-Business Day period. For clarity, in the event that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is not cured prior to the end of such 5-Business Day period (or, if applicable, such 30-Business Day period), it shall constitute an Event of Default under clause (a) of Article VII.
