fund their respective Funding Shares of such Transactions, irrespective of whether in the meantime any Default or Event of Default has occurred or been discovered, and irrespective of whether in the meantime some or all of the Buyers’ Commitments have lapsed, expired or been canceled, rescinded or terminated with or without cause, or have been waived, released or excused for any reason whatsoever, so that (a) the Swing Line is paid down by the required amount on each Swing Line Refunding Due Date and (b) all Swing Line Transactions are converted to Regular Transactions with each Buyer having funded its Funding Share thereof. All Price Differential accrued on Swing Line Transactions to the applicable Swing Line Refunding Due Date shall be due and payable by the Seller to the Agent (for distribution to U.S. Bank) within two (2) Business Days after the Agent bills the Seller for such Price Differential (which billing shall occur monthly) but in no event later than the Termination Date.

The Agent shall disburse to U.S. Bank an amount equal to the sum of the Funding Shares received from the Buyers on any day against each Transaction that was initially funded as a Swing Line Transaction (excluding U.S. Bank’s own Funding Share thereof);provided that if a Buyer other than U.S. Bank advises the Agent by telephone and confirms the advice by fax that such Buyer has placed all of its Funding Share on the federal funds wire to the account designated by the Agent, the Agent shall continue to keep the Swing Line Transaction outstanding to the extent of that Buyer’s Funding Share so wired until such Buyer’s Funding Share is received, and the Agent shall then repay U.S. Bank that still-outstanding portion of the Swing Line Transaction from such funds, and the Price Differential accrued at the Pricing Rate(s) applicable to the Transaction on that Funding Share for the period from (and including) the relevant Swing Line Refunding Due Date to (but excluding) the date such Buyer’s Funding Share is received by the Agent shall belong to U.S. Bank;provided,further that in no event shall U.S. Bank have any obligation to continue such portion of any Swing Line Transaction outstanding if and to the extent, if any, that doing so would cause the total amount funded by U.S. Bank and outstanding to exceed the Swing Line Limit. If any Buyer fails to transmit any funds required under thisSection 3.2 so that such funds are received in accordance with the Agent’s instructions by 4:00 p.m. on the Swing Line Refunding Due Date (i.e., excluding any such failure caused by a federal funds wire delay), then that Buyer shall also be obligated to pay to U.S. Bank Price Differential on the Funding Share so due from such Buyer to U.S. Bank at the Federal Funds Rate from (and including) such Swing Line Refunding Due Date to (but excluding) the date of payment of such Funding Share.
