by them therein) or by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
New Banks in connection with the Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial
condition or business affairs of the Borrower or any other
Person liable for the payment of any of the Obligations,

Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall not be
required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions,
