The obligation of the Account Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender from the Account Party in the Agreement Currency, the Account Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Account Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
