The Depository will be responsible for disbursing such funds to each appropriate Participant, and such Participant will be responsible for disbursing such funds to the Warrantholders it represents and to each brokerage firm for which it acts as agent. Each such brokerage firm will be responsible for disbursing funds to the Warrantholders it represents.
(d) The Warrant Agent shall cause its records, which may be kept electronically, to be marked to reflect the reduction in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate by the number of Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Agent and for which payment has been made as provided in Section 2.02(c) hereof promptly after such delivery and payment. Absent manifest error, the Warrant Agent's ’s records shall be conclusive evidence of such matters.
