`such Allowed Administrative Expense Claim becomes due in accordance with its terms,
`and (ii) the Effective Date. If the Chapter 11 Trustee, the Plan Administrator, or their
`successor(s) or assign(s) dispute any portion of an Administrative Expense Claim, the
`Reorganized Debtor shall pay such Claim within 30 days after the entry of a Final Order
`with respect to the allowance of such disputed Administrative Expense Claim.

`unless a stay is obtained, or (ii) upon such other terms as may be mutually agreed upon
`between such holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim and the Plan
`Administrator.
`
`All Post-Effective Date Administrative Expenses shall be
