Disputed Payments If a bona fide dispute arises with respect to any invoice, Purchaser shall not be deemed in default under the Agreement and the Parties shall not suspend the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including payment of undisputed amounts owed hereunder. If an amount disputed by Purchaser is subsequently deemed to have been due pursuant to the applicable invoice, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate on such amount from the date becoming past due under such invoice until the date paid.
Estimated Payments Commencing on the first day of the Term on which Additional Rent is due, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord all Additional Rent for: a) Real estate taxes pursuant to Section 2 above, b) Insurance premiums pursuant to Section 3 above, c) HVAC maintenance pursuant to Section 5 above, d) Common Area Charges pursuant to Section 4 above and e) Water and common utility use pursuant to Section 14 below. On an annual basis, Landlord shall provide Tenant with (a) a statement of all actual Common Area Charges and insurance premiums incurred in the preceding calendar year and (b) a statement of all charges of real estate taxes assessed against the Property in the preceding fiscal year. If Tenant has made estimated payments of Additional Rent during such calendar/fiscal year in excess of the actual amount due, Landlord shall credit Tenant with any overpayment against the next Rent otherwise due. If the actual Additional Rent due exceeds the estimated payments made by Tenant during the preceding year, Tenant shall pay such amount due as Additional Rent within 15 business days after notice from Landlord. Any failure by Landlord to deliver such statements shall not constitute a default by Landlord or operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect all or any portion of Additional Rent due pursuant to the terms of this Lease. If Additional Rent for any calendar year increases by more than five percent (5%) over Additional Rent for the immediately preceding calendar year, Tenant, within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement of actual Additional Rent (inclusive of those which vary with occupancy) for a particular calendar year, shall have the right to provide Landlord with written notice (the “Review Notice”) of its intent to review Landlord’s books and records relating to the Additional Rent for such calendar year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of a timely Review Notice, Landlord shall make such books and records available to Tenant or Tenant’s agent for its review at either Landlord’s home office or at the office of the Building, provided that if Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s books and records for any calendar year, such agent must (i) be a CPA firm or an in-house accountant or finance department employee of Tenant, (ii) not be compensated on a contingency basis and (iii) execute a copy of a confidentiality agreement with respect to such review. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Tenant or Xxxxxx’s agent in connection with such review. If Tenant elects to review Xxxxxxxx’s books and records, within thirty (30) days after such books and records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice stating in reasonable detail any objection to Xxxxxxxx’s statement of actual Additional Rent for such calendar year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of objection within such thirty (30) day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the ninety (90) day period provided above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Xxxxxxxx’s statement of Additional Rent in all respects and shall thereafter be barred from raising any claims with respect thereto. Upon Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of a timely objection notice from Xxxxxx, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve the discrepancy between Xxxxxxxx’s statement and Xxxxxx’s review. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Additional Rent for the calendar year in question are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against future Rent in the amount of any overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Additional Rent for the calendar year in question are greater than reported, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of underpayment by Tenant with the understanding that there shall be no interest or late charge added thereto at the time same is billed to Tenant by reason of the failure of Tenant to previously have paid same when the excess was billed for such reviewed period. Any information obtained by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Xxxxxx shall not be permitted to examine Xxxxxxxx’s books and records or to dispute any statement of Additional Rent unless Xxxxxx has paid to Landlord the amount due as shown on Landlord’s statement of actual Additional Rent, said payment being a condition precedent to Xxxxxx’s right to examine Xxxxxxxx’s books and records.
Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as is directed by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be.
Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event (a) the Final Purchase Price is more than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such difference, or (b) the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, in either event by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Payment by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be within five (5) days of the Final Settlement Date.
Post-Closing Adjustment (a) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries dated as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet") showing the Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries at the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Net Worth Amount") and (ii) a schedule (the "Closing Debt Schedule") of the amount of Long Term Debt at the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Debt Amount"). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions and procedures set forth on the Post-Closing Adjustment Schedule. In connection with the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule, Purchaser shall give, and shall cause the Acquired Company and its representatives to give, to Seller and its representatives full access at all reasonable times to the books, records and other materials of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries and the personnel of, and work papers prepared by or for Purchaser, the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries or their respective accountants, including, without limitation, to such historical financial information relating to the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries as Seller may reasonably request in order to permit the timely preparation and delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule in accordance with this Section 1.05(a). (b) Upon receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule, Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days (the "Review Period") to review such Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule and related computations of the Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries and the Closing Debt on the Closing Date. If Purchaser has accepted such Closing Balance Sheet Closing Debt Schedule in writing or has not given written notice to Seller setting forth in reasonable detail any objection of Purchaser to such Closing Balance Sheet or Closing Debt Schedule(a "Statement of Objections") prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then such Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Debt Schedule shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the Preliminary Net Worth Amount shall be deemed the Net Worth amount of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the "Final Net Worth Amount") and the Preliminary Debt Amount shall be deemed to be the amount of Long Term Debt as of the Closing Date (the "Final Debt Amount"). In addition, to the extent any portion of the Closing Balance Sheet or of the calculation of the Preliminary Net Worth Amount, of the Closing Debt Schedule or of the calculation of the Preliminary Debt Amount shall not be expressly objected to in the Statement of Objections, such matters shall be deemed to have been accepted and approved by Purchaser and shall be final and binding upon the parties for purposes hereof. In the event that Purchaser delivers a Statement of Objections during the Review Period, Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the amount of Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries on the Closing Date within thirty (30) days following the receipt by Seller of the Statement of Objections. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to such amounts within such thirty (30) day period, then the matter shall be submitted to Deloitte & Touche LLP, or such other accountant as shall be mutually agreed between the parties hereto (such accountant, the "Settlement Accountant"), who shall determine the matters still in dispute and adjust the Closing Balance Sheet to reflect such determination and establish the Final Net Worth Amount and adjust the Closing Debt Schedule and establish the Final Debt Amount. If issues in dispute are submitted to the Settlement Accountant for resolution, each party will furnish to the Settlement Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Settlement Accountant may request, and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Settlement Accountant any material relating to the resolution of the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Settlement Accountant; provided, that no party shall have any ex parte discussions with the Settlement Accountant (other than after reasonable notice to the other party and such party's refusal or failure to participate). The Settlement Accountant will be instructed in performing the review that Purchaser and Seller will each be provided with copies of any and all correspondence and drafts distributed to any party, and Purchaser and Seller will be granted access to information contained in the documents made available to the Settlement Accountant by the other party. The Settlement Accountant shall determine only those matters in dispute (and based solely on the materials and other information presented by Seller and Purchaser and not by independent investigation). The Settlement Accountant shall make its determination within thirty (30) days (or as soon as practicable thereafter if the Settlement Accountant notifies the parties that it requires additional time to make such determination) following the submission of the matter to the Settlement Accountant for resolution, and such determination shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees, charges and expenses of the Settlement Accountant. (c) In the event that the Final Net Worth Amount is greater than the Target Net Worth Amount, such excess is referred to herein as the "Excess Net Worth Amount". (d) In the event that the Final Net Worth Amount is less than the Target Net Worth Amount, such deficiency is referred to herein as the "Net Worth Deficiency".
Closing Adjustment At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Statement”) setting forth an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date and an estimated calculation of (i) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), and (iii) Seller’s calculation of the amount payable under Section 2.2(a) on the basis of the Estimated Statement, in each case, along with reasonable supporting detail to evidence the calculation of such amount. The Estimated Statement and all calculations therein shall be determined as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date and in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, and using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in the preparation of the Audited Balance Sheet and the Example Net Working Capital Calculation. Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Books and Records of the Acquired Companies and shall cause the personnel of the Acquired Companies to reasonably cooperate with Buyer for the purpose of enabling Buyer to calculate, and to review Seller’s calculation of Estimated Net Working Capital and Estimated Cash and such amounts shall be adjusted in response to any reasonable comments of Buyer provided prior to the Closing. The amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be (i) increased or decreased, respectively, dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Estimated Net Working Capital is more than or less than Target Net Working Capital and (ii) increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Cash (provided that in no event shall the Estimated Cash exceed the Maximum Cash Amount); provided, however, that in the event of a decrease, in lieu of decreasing the amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i), the Deferred Payment Amount shall first be decreased by up to an aggregate of $2,000,000, and, if applicable, thereafter the amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be decreased by the amount in excess of $2,000,000.
Misdirected Payments (a) In the event that the Parent or any Provider receives a Misdirected Payment in the form of a check, the Parent or such Provider shall immediately send such Misdirected Payment, in the form received by the Parent or such Provider, by hand or overnight delivery service to a Lockbox for deposit into the corresponding Lockbox Account. In the event the Parent or any Provider receives a Misdirected Payment in the form of cash or wire transfer, the Parent or such Provider shall immediately wire transfer the amount of such Misdirected Payment directly to the Lockbox Account. All Misdirected Payments shall be sent promptly upon receipt thereof, and in no event later than the close of business, on the first Business Day after receipt thereof. (1) If a Misdirected Payment in the form of a check is received by the Parent or any Provider more than six days after the date of such check with respect thereto, then the relevant Provider shall pay interest on such Misdirected Payment to the Purchaser from such sixth subsequent day to and including the date such check is received in the Lockbox Account, at a rate equal to LIBOR then in effect under the Loan Agreement. (2) Each Provider hereby agrees and consents to the Purchaser taking such actions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that future payments from the Obligor of a Misdirected Payment shall be made in accordance with the Notice to Obligors previously delivered to such Obligor, including, without limitation, to the maximum extent permitted by law, (i) the Purchaser, its assigns or designees, or any member of the HFG Group executing on such Provider's behalf and delivering to such Obligor a new Notice to Obligors, and (ii) the Purchaser, its assigns or designees, or any member of the HFG Group contacting such Obligor by telephone to confirm the instructions previously set forth in the Notice to Obligor to such Obligor. Upon the Purchaser's request, each Provider shall promptly (and in any event, within two Business Days from such request) take such similar actions as the Purchaser may reasonably request.

The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Estimated Closing Statement is to estimate the amounts of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. Vista Outdoor shall consider in good faith and implement all reasonable comments provided by Parent to the Estimated Closing Statement (including the components thereof) at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date. (b) At least five (5) Business Days prior to Vista Outdoor’s delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent a good faith non-binding, advisory draft of the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Draft Estimated Closing Statement”), including reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the estimates set forth therein. In furtherance of Vista Outdoor’s preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement, Vista Outdoor shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments provided to the Draft Estimated Closing Statement by Parent at least one Business Day prior to delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement. (c) Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent a good faith non-binding, advisory draft of the Estimated Closing Statement, including reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the estimates set forth therein (an “Advisory Estimated Closing Statement”), assuming, for purposes of creating such Advisory Estimated Closing Statement, a Reference Time of 11:59 p.m. New York City time on September 30, 2024. Within ten (10) Business Days following October 31, 2024, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent, an Advisory Estimated Closing Statement assuming, for purposes of creating such Advisory Estimated Closing Statement, a Reference Time of 11:59 p.m. New York City time on October 31, 2024. In furtherance of Vista Outdoor’s preparation of the Draft Estimated Closing Statement and the Estimated Closing Statement, Vista Outdoor shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments provided to the Advisory Estimated Closing Statements by Parent at least one (1) Business Day prior to delivery of the Draft Estimated Closing Statement. (d) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within the later of (x) thirty (30) days following the Closing Date and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Revelyst Merger (if such merger is consummated) (the later of (x) and (y), the “Closing Statement Deadline”), Vista Outdoor and Revelyst shall cooperate in good faith and jointly prepare a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth their joint good faith calculation of (i) Closing Cash, (ii) Closing Working Capital, (iii) Closing Debt, (iv) Transaction Expenses, (v) Closing Taxes, (vi) Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and (vii) the Closing Adjustment Amount, in each case, together with reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement is to measure and determine the amount of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. Each of Vista Outdoor and Revelyst shall execute the Closing Statement to certify the calculations set forth therein and upon such certification the Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Vista Outdoor and Revelyst do not agree upon and execute the Closing Statement by the Closing Statement Deadline, then the Estimated Closing Statement shall be deemed to be the Closing Statement for all purposes under this Agreement and neither Party nor their respective Affiliates shall have any further obligation pursuant to this Section 2.06. (e) In connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement, Vista Outdoor shall, subject to reasonable advance written request (email being sufficient), provide Revelyst and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, and in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operations of Vista Outdoor and each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group, to the Records and relevant advisors (subject to the execution of any required customary access letters), personnel and properties of Vista Outdoor and each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group to the extent reasonably relevant to the preparation of the Closing Statement; provided that Revelyst shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, keep any nonpublic information shared with it confidential. (f) Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon the Parties in accordance with this Section 2.06, if the Closing Adjustment Amount is: (i) greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then Vista Outdoor shall pay Revelyst an amount of cash equal to such difference; (ii) less than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then Revelyst shall pay Vista Outdoor an amount of cash equal to such difference; or (iii) equal to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then neither Party shall have any obligation to make a payment to the other Party in respect thereof. (g) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 2.06 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the other Party would not have entered into this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party. Accordingly, if a Party fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.06 (such Party, the “Defaulting Party”), and, in order to obtain payment of such amount, the other Party commences a legal action which results in an order against the Defaulting Party for such amount, or any portion thereof, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the other Party such other Party’s out-of-pocket, reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such legal action, together with interest on such due and unpaid amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06 at a rate equal to (i) the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such amount was required to be paid plus (ii) 2% through the date such payment was actually received. (h) Vista Outdoor agrees that, from the Closing Date through the date that the Closing Adjustment Amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.06, it shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group not to, take any action with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Closing Statement is based that would impede or delay the final determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any investigation or examination conducted, or any knowledge possessed or acquired, by or on behalf of Vista Outdoor or Revelyst, the process set forth in this Section 2.06 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties for any disputes related to the items required to be included or reflected in the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount. (j) Without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, none of the time periods set forth in this Section 2.06 shall be extended or waived by any Party. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the closing of the Revelyst Merger, neither Olibre Parent, Revelyst nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have any obligation with respect to this Section 2.06. Each Party agrees that Olibre Parent is a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.06(j). (k) For the purposes of this Agreement:
Disputed Amounts 28.1.1 If any portion of an amount due to a Party (the “Billing Party”) under this Agreement is subject to a bona fide dispute between the Parties, the Party billed (the “Non-Paying Party”) shall, prior to the Xxxx Due Date, give written notice to the Billing Party of the amounts it disputes (“Disputed Amounts”) and include in such written notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item; provided, however, a failure to provide such notice by that date shall not preclude a Party from subsequently challenging billed charges provided that such charges were paid. The Non-Paying Party shall pay when due all undisputed amounts to the Billing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 28.2, a Party shall be entitled to dispute only those charges for which the Date was within the immediately preceding eighteen (18) months of the date on which the other Party received notice of such Disputed Amounts. 28.1.2 If the Non-Paying Party disputes charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of such Non-Paying Party, the Billing Party shall credit the invoice of the Non-Paying Party for the amount of the Disputed Amounts along with any applicable late payment charges no later than the second Xxxx Due Date after the resolution of the Dispute. Accordingly, if a Non-Paying Party disputes charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of the Billing Party, the Non-Paying Party shall pay the Billing Party the amount of the Disputed Amounts and any associated late payment charges no later than the second Xxxx Due Date after the resolution of the Dispute. Late payment charges shall be assessed as set forth in Section 27.8. 28.1.3 If the Parties are unable to resolve the issues related to the Disputed Amounts in the normal course of business within sixty (60) days after delivery to the Billing Party of notice of the Disputed Amounts, each of the Parties shall appoint a designated representative who has authority to settle the Dispute and who is at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. The designated representatives shall meet as often as they reasonably deem necessary in order to discuss the Dispute and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve such Dispute. The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives; however all reasonable requests for relevant information made by one Party to the other Party shall be honored. 28.1.4 If the Parties are unable to resolve issues related to the Disputed Amounts within forty-five (45) days after the Parties' appointment of designated representatives pursuant to Section 28.3, then either Party may file a complaint with the Commission to resolve such issues or proceed with any other remedy pursuant to law or equity. The Commission or the FCC may direct payment of any or all Disputed Amounts (including any accrued interest) thereon or additional amounts awarded, plus applicable late fees, to be paid to either Party. 28.1.5 The Parties agree that all negotiations pursuant to this Section 28.1 shall remain confidential in accordance with Article XX and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and state rules of evidence.
Returned Payments If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion), then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
