Each  member shall lend funds to such corporation as and  when called upon by it to do so, but the total amount  on  loan  by  any  member  at  any  one  time  shall  not  exceed the following limit to be  determined as of the time it became a  member,  and  such  amount  shall  thereafter be readjusted annually in the event of any change in the base  of  the  loan  limit  of  such  member;  national  banking associations,  state-chartered commercial banks and trust companies, two  per  cent  of  capital  stock  and surplus; New York savings and loan associations, two  per cent of the surplus account determined as provided in  article  ten,  section  three  hundred  eighty-five;  savings banks, two percent of net  worth as defined in article six, section two hundred  forty-four;  stock  insurance  companies,  two  per  cent of capital and surplus; surety and  casualty  companies,  two  per  cent  of  capital  and  surplus;  mutual  insurance  companies,  two  per  cent  of surplus to policy holders; and  comparable   limits   for   other   banking,   loaning   and   insurance  organizations,  as  established  by  the  board  of directors; provided,  however, that the total amount on loan by  any  member  at  anyone  time  shall  not  exceed  ten million dollars, provided further, however, that  any member having a loan limit in excess  of  ten  million  dollars  may  elect  that its total amount on loan at any one time to such corporation  shall equal said loan limit but in any event  shall  not  exceed  twenty  million  dollars.

All calls of funds which members are committed to lend  to  such corporation shall be prorated by such corporation among the members  in  the same proportion that the maximum loan limit of each bears to the  aggregate loan limits of all  members  of  such  corporation.  Upon  six  months' prior written notice to the board of directors, a member of such  corporation  may  withdraw from membership, effective at the end of such  six month period and, after the effective date of such withdrawal,  such  member  shall  be  free of obligations hereunder except those accrued or  committed  by  such  corporation  prior  to  such  effective   date   of  withdrawal.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, general or  special,  the  notes  or  other  interest-bearing  obligations  of  such  corporation, issued in accordance with and by virtue of this article and  the  by-laws  of  such  corporation,  shall be legal investments for the  banking,  insurance  and  surety  organizations,  and  other  non-public  entities  who  become members of such corporation, up to but in no event  exceeding the loan limits established herein.    2.  Other  entities  may  make  application  for  membership  in  such  corporation  according  to such terms and criteria as established by the  board of directors; except that such  other  entities  may  not  include  public  benefit  corporations established under the laws of the state of  New York.
