Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

Relationship. Each Loan Party agrees that the relationship between Administrative Agent and Borrowers and between each Lender and Borrowers is that of creditor and debtor and not that of partners or joint venturers.

Each Loan Party acknowledges that Administrative Agent and each Lender has acted at all times only as a creditor to Borrowers within the normal and usual scope of the activities normally undertaken by a creditor and in no event has Administrative Agent or any Lender attempted to exercise any control over any Loan Party or its business or affairs.
