Absolute and True Sale; No Fiduciary Duty of the Lessor. The sale by the Lessor to the Lease Participants of the respective Lessor Parties Interests shall be an absolute and true sale. The obligations of the Lessor Parties are several obligations, not joint obligations. As a clarification and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Credit Parties shall have no recourse to any Lessor Party which funds its Lessor Advances and otherwise performs it obligations pursuant to the Operative Agreements regarding the failure by any other Lessor Party to fund its Lessor Advances or otherwise to perform its obligations pursuant to the Operative Agreements. Further, the Lease Participants shall have (a) no recourse to the Lessor in the event of failure of any Credit Party to pay Rent or any other amounts of any kind or type pursuant to any of the Operative Agreements and (b) no right to require the Lessor to repurchase any Lessor Parties Interest in any event. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any of the Operative Agreements and notwithstanding that the Lessor is a party to various of the Operative Agreements as the “Lessor” and is the holder of legal title to the Property, the Lessor shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the Operative Agreements, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lease Participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of the Lessor shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Operative Agreements, or shall otherwise exist against the Lessor. Each Lessor Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Lessor to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Operative Agreements as are delegated to the Lessor by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Operative Agreements (including, without limitation, enforcement of the Operative Agreements), the Lessor shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Secured Parties, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lessor Parties; provided, however, that the Lessor shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Lessor to personal liability or which is contrary to the Operative Agreements or Applicable Law. Regarding its Lessor Parties Ownership Interests, the Lessor shall have the same rights and powers as the other Lessor Parties have regarding their respective Lessor Parties Ownership Interests.
