L/C Issuer The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. The L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in this Section 11, included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer.
Rating Agency Downgrade In the event that BSFP’s long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “AA-” by S&P or its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced below “Aa3” by Moody’s (and together with S&P and Fitch, the “Swap Rating Agencies”, and such rating thresholds, “Approved Rating Thresholds”), then within 30 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade, BSFP shall, subject to the Rating Agency Condition, at its own expense, either (i) cause another entity to replace BSFP as party to this Agreement that meets or exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds and that is approved by Radian Insurance Inc. and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (each a “NIMS Insurer” and collectively, the “NIMS Insurers”) (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) on terms substantially similar to this Agreement, (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another person with the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor, BSFP’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that such other person is approved by the NIMS Insurers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iii) post collateral satisfactory to each Swap Rating Agency and the NIMS Insurers which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates and any note insured by the NIMS Insurers, or (iv) establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the Swap Rating Agencies and the NIMS Insurers, which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates and any note insured by the NIMS Insurers. For purposes of this provision, “Rating Agency Condition” means, with respect to any particular proposed act or omission to act hereunder that the party acting or failing to act must consult with any of the Swap Rating Agencies then providing a rating of the Certificates and receive from the Swap Rating Agencies a prior written confirmation that the proposed action or inaction would not cause a downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Certificates.
Rating Agencies To the extent, if any, that the ratings provided with respect to the Offered Certificates by certain nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (as described in Section 6(q)) are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other action by the Depositor, the Depositor shall use its best efforts to furnish such documents and take any other such action.
Role of L/C Issuer Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
