     (v) Borrower’s Use of Proceeds . The proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for the purpose requested and approved by the Administrative Agent.

If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the

Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to, (i) if payable by the Borrowers, the Rate, and (ii) if payable by a Lender, the Federal Funds Rate.

     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrowers, prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrowers do not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrowers have made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to the Rate.

     (c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Borrowers or any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.8 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

      Section 2.9 Payments by Borrowers .
