IFTC and Bank have no claim, and will assert no lien, right of set off or any other claim or interest in the Collateral, and will not use the Collateral to margin, collateralize, secure or to extend credit to Customer, to any of its affiliates, to Broker, to any of Broker's affiliates or to any other persons for such activities or otherwise.
