The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall beprima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders tothe Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing soshall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amountowing with respect to the Obligations.

Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall bemade without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except asotherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to an Approved Foreign Currency, allpayments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of therespective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office forDollar-denominated payments and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time onthe date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowerhereunder in an Approved Foreign Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the accountof the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Officein such Approved Foreign Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) (or, ifearlier, 9:00 a.m. New York city time) on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, the Borrower isprohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Approved Foreign Currency,the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of suchApproved Foreign Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to eachAppropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment inlike funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All paymentsreceived by the Administrative Agent after the time specified above shall in each case be deemed receivedon the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shallcome due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following BusinessDay, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be;provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency RateLoans or Term SOFR Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall bemade on the immediately preceding Business Day.(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to thedate any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower129


 
or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assumethat the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shallnot be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitledthereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in SameDay Funds, then:(i) with respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the accountof the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determinationshall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such paymentreferred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has failed to make such payment;(2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by theBorrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reasonotherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay tothe Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to suchLender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from andincluding the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lenderto the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at theOvernight Bank Funding Rate, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar feescustomarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment (including, without limitation, failureto fund participations in respect of any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan), such Lender shallforthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds,together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by theAdministrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the AdministrativeAgent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Bank FundingRate, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by theAdministrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. When such Lender makes payment tothe Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount(excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of suchlate payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If suchLender does not pay such amount (including, without limitation, failure to fund participations inrespect of any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan) forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’sdemand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, andthe Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereonfor the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to theapplicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligationto fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or theBorrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amountowing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to bemade by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are notmade available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicableCredit Extension set forth in Article 4 or in the applicable Incremental Amendment, ExtensionAmendment or Refinancing Amendment are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof,the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to suchLender, without interest. 130


 
(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations inLetters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make anyLoan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lenderof its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure ofany other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loanin any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained orwill obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement orany of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to theAdministrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other LoanDocuments on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied bythe Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04. If theAdministrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or inrespect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify themanner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may (to the fullest extentpermitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distributesuch funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) theOutstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/CObligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans orother Obligations then owing to such Lender.Section 2.13. Sharing of Payments. (a) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein,any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations andSwing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of anyright of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof,such Lender shall immediately (b) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (c) purchase from theother Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in theparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall benecessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or suchparticipations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of suchexcess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstancesdescribed in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender inits discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to thepurchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such payingLender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s requiredrepayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or otheramount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, withoutfurther interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed toapply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms ofthis Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from theexistence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for theassignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permittedhereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may,to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right ofsetoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were thedirect creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keeprecords (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participationspurchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases131


 
or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from andafter such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and othercommunications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to thesame extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.Section 2.14.
