Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (if consented to by the
Borrower and the Administrative
10
Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account
of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities
(if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee
or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section may not be
