Borrower unconditionally authorizes Lender to advance Loan proceeds based on a Loan Request signed by a Designated Person. The initial Designated Person is Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx. Borrower may revoke the authority of a Designated Person to request Loan advances, but only if such revocation is in writing and is signed by Borrower (a “Revocation Notice”).
