Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the Swingline Lender, the Dollar Amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.05(f), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear;

8


 

provided, that, any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
     (g) The Swingline Lender may request that any Swingline Loan made hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a promissory note payable to the order of the Swingline Lender and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender.”
