Such Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered (i) not later than 12:00 noon, Charlotte, North Carolina time, three Business Days prior to the Pre-Closing Funding Date, for Revolving Loans to be comprised of LIBOR Loans, and (ii) not later than 12:00 noon, Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the Pre-Closing Funding Date for Revolving Loans to be comprised of Base Rate Loans. If a Pre-Closing Funding Election has been made, subject solely to the satisfaction, or waiver in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, of each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 other than the Ellie Mae Acquisition Related Conditions, each Lender shall, not later than 1:00 p.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the requested Pre-Closing Funding Date set forth in the Notice of Borrowing, fund into the Pre-Closing Funding Account an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to be made by such Lender (such amounts, the “Pre-Closing Funded Amount”) pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release all amounts deposited by the Lenders into the Pre-Closing Funding Account and make such funds available to the Borrower on the Ellie Mae Acquisition Date subject solely to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) of the Ellie Mae Acquisition Related Conditions, whereupon the Administrative Agent will make the Pre-Closing Funded Amount available to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3 and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the funding of the Pre-Closing Funded Amount shall not constitute a Borrowing of Loans by the Borrower until such amount has been released to the Borrower on the Ellie Mae Acquisition Date in accordance with this Section 2.23, and (y) any return of the Pre-Closing Funded Amount to the Lenders in accordance with this Section 2.23 shall not constitute a prepayment of any Revolving Loans.”
