In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; provided, however, that if Lenders shall receive timely written notification from each of MNB or the Corporation and that sufficiently identifies (in the reasonable opinion of Lenders) documents that thereafter may be presented to Issuing Bank or Lenders which are not to be honored, Lenders agrees to use its reasonable efforts at the expense of the Corporation to avoid honoring such documents thereafter. Lenders assumes no responsibility for any failure or delay in the transmission to MNB of funds drawn under the Letters of Credit through the federal funds wire system.
