All such books, accounts, and records will constitute prima facie evidence of the amount owing by the Borrower under the Loan Documents; but the failure to make any entry or recording in such books, accounts, and records will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Any dispute regarding the amount outstanding will be finally determined by the auditors of the Borrower.
7.6 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment of principal of or interest on the Borrower’s Indebtedness that is due on a date other than a Business Day will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
