Issuance by Bank Affiliates and Others. All AM issued by, or in respect of the activities of, a Bank Affiliate shall be conclusively deemed for all purposes hereof to have been issued by the Bank, and the Bank shall be responsible for ensuring that each Bank Affiliate complies with all provisions hereof as if it was a party hereto with LM. For greater certainty, any reference herein to the Bank being obligated to do or not do any matter or thing, shall be deemed to include the obligation of the Bank to ensure that each other Bank Party does or does not do the particular matter or thing, and any reference to the Bank being entitled to any right, matter or thing, shall be deemed to include a reference to any Bank Affiliate being entitled to such right, matter, or thing, but only for so long as such Bank Affiliate continues to be a Bank Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein, if at any time or from time to time the Bank or any Bank Affiliate wishes to issue AM in connection with the activities of a Bank Affiliate which does not operate under a name which includes either “Bank of Montreal”, “BMO”, or any other trade-mxxx commonly associated with the Bank as of the date hereof, the Bank must obtain LM’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that no such consent shall be required for the issuance of AM (i) by any Bank Affiliate listed in Schedule 1.1(b) hereto or (ii) in connection with any business of a Bank Affiliate which was, immediately prior to the proposed issuance of AM by such Bank Affiliate, carried out by the Bank and in respect of which the Bank issued AM as permitted hereunder; but in the case of clause (ii), if LM believes that the name of such Bank Affiliate conflicts with another Sponsor or its exclusivity (such as, for example, by incorporating the name or style of a competitor of a Sponsor), the Bank will, in good faith, discuss the matter with LM to determine what solutions might be available. The Bank will not issue AM in respect of the activities or the goods and services of any Person (including any Affiliate of the Bank) which is not a Bank Affiliate nor otherwise permit or authorize any such Person to issue AM itself.
