Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.
(c) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Credit Extension. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds therefrom.
BORROWERS The Available Securities may be loaned to any Borrower identified on the Schedule of Borrowers, as such Schedule may be modified from time to time by State Street and Client, including without limitation, the Capital Markets division of State Street; provided, however, if Available Securities are loaned to the Capital Markets division, in addition to being consistent with the terms hereof, said Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Securities Loan Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, as modified form time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof (hereinafter, the "State Street Securities Loan Agreement"). The form of the State Street Securities Loan Agreement may be modified by State Street from time to time, without the consent of the Client, in order to comply with the requirements of law or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over State Street, the Client or the securities lending program or in any other manner that is not material and adverse to the interests of the Client. Client acknowledges that it is aware that State Street, acting as "Lender's Agent" hereunder and thereunder, is or may be deemed to be the same legal entity as State Street acting as "Borrower" under the State Street Securities Loan Agreement, notwithstanding the different designations used herein and therein or the dual roles assumed by State Street hereunder and thereunder. Client represents that the power granted herein to State Street, as agent, to lend U.S. Securities owned by Client (including, in legal effect, the power granted to State Street to make Loans to itself) and the other powers granted to State Street, as agent herein, are given expressly for the purpose of averting and waiving any prohibitions upon such lending or other exercise of such powers which might exist in the absence of such powers, and that transactions effected pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement and the State Street Securities Loan Agreement will not constitute a breach of trust or other fiduciary duty by State Street. Client further acknowledges that it has granted State Street the power to effect securities lending transactions with the Capital Markets division of State Street and other powers assigned to State Street hereunder and under the Securities Loan Agreements and the State Street Securities Loan Agreement as a result of Client's desire to increase the opportunity for it to lend securities held in its account on fair and reasonable terms to qualified Borrowers without such loans being considered a breach of State Street's fiduciary duty. In connection therewith, each party hereby agrees that it shall furnish to the other party (i) the most recent available audited statement of its financial condition, and (ii) the most recent available unaudited statement of its financial condition, if more recent than the audited statement. As long as any Loan is outstanding under this Agreement, each party shall also promptly deliver to the other party all such financial information that is subsequently available, and any other financial information or statements that such other party may reasonably request. In the event any such Loan is made to the Capital Markets division, State Street hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Clients that it has adopted and implemented procedural safeguards to help ensure that all actions taken by it hereunder will be effected by individuals other than, and not under the supervision of, individuals who are acting in a capacity as Borrower thereunder, and that all trades effected hereunder will take place at the same fully negotiated "arms length" prices offered to similarly situated third parties by State Street when it acts as lending agent, notwithstanding the inherent conflict of interest with respect to Loans to be effected by State Street to the Capital Markets division.
Borrower’s Loan Application Borrower shall be in default if, during the Loan application process, Borrower or any persons or entities acting at the direction of Borrower or with Borrower’s knowledge or consent gave materially false, misleading, or inaccurate information or statements to Lender (or failed to provide Lender with material information) in connection with the Loan. Material representations include, but are not limited to, representations concerning ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s occupancy of the Property as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s principal residence.
Reliance by Agents and Lenders The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Condition of Borrowers Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to it any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers or any other guarantor (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
