RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES/INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR 27.1 Each Party is an independent contractor, and has and hereby retains the right to exercise full control of and supervision over its own performance of its obligations under this Agreement and retains full control over the employment, direction, compensation and discharge of its employees assisting in the performance of such obligations. Each Party and each Party's contractor(s) shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of such employees, including the withholding or payment of all applicable federal, state and local income taxes, social security taxes and other payroll taxes with respect to its employees, as well as any taxes, contributions or other obligations imposed by applicable state unemployment or workers' compensation acts and all other regulations governing such matters. Each Party has sole authority and responsibility to hire, fire and otherwise control its employees. 27.2 Nothing contained herein shall constitute the Parties as joint venturers, partners, employees or agents of one another, and neither Party shall have the right or power to bind or obligate the other. Nothing herein will be construed as making either Party responsible or liable for the obligations and undertakings of the other Party. Except for provisions herein expressly authorizing a Party to act for another, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a Party as a legal representative or agent of the other Party, nor shall a Party have the right or authority to assume, create or incur any liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name or on behalf of the other Party unless otherwise expressly permitted by such other Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Party undertakes to perform any obligation of the other Party, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for the management of the other Party's business.
Relationship of Parties Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the parties or any third party as creating the relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the parties, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of the parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties other than the relationship set forth herein.
Relationship of the Parties Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make one Party an agent of the other Party nor shall either party have any authority to bind the other in any respect, unless expressly authorized by the other party in writing. The Parties are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement creates a relationship of employment, trust, agency or partnership between them.
Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiary (a) The relationship between Lender and Borrower will be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Loan Agreement will create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement will constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner or agent of Borrower, or render Lender liable for any debts, obligations, acts, omissions, representations or contracts of Borrower. (b) No creditor of any party to this Loan Agreement and no other Person will be a third party beneficiary of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence: (i) any arrangement (“Servicing Arrangement”) between Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss sharing or interim advancement of funds will constitute a contractual obligation of such Loan Servicer that is independent of the obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness, (ii) Borrower will not be a third party beneficiary of any Servicing Arrangement, and (iii) no payment by the Loan Servicer under any Servicing Arrangement will reduce the amount of the Indebtedness.
