These
Materials (which term includes, where the context permits, text,
content, spreadsheets incorporating macros and electronic interfaces,
and their underlying assumptions, conversions, formulae, algorithms,
calculations and other mathematical and financial techniques) are
made available to members of the Loan Market Association to
facilitate the documentation of transactions in the loan markets.
None of the Loan Market Association, Allen & Overy or Clifford
Chance accept any responsibility for any use to which these Materials
may be put or for any loss, damage or liability whatsoever arising
from such use. None of the Loan Market Association, Allen &
Overy or Clifford Chance has reviewed the laws of any jurisdiction
which may apply to either party to an agreement using these Materials
and its subject matter. Members should therefore consider all the
relevant legal, accounting and regulatory issues before using these
Materials or entering into a transaction under them and, if
appropriate, consult their professional advisers.
In
relation to recommended form documents, members are responsible for
ensuring that the precise form and content of the documentation for a
particular transaction is appropriate. Members should therefore
satisfy themselves that the documents and any modifications to them
are appropriate in the circumstances and the economic intentions of
the parties.
The
recommended form of syndicated facility agreements,
the optional wording to be inserted into the Facility Agreements and
the Syndication and Amendment Agreement, which are located within
documents "Primary
(Investment Grade)", have
been produced with the involvement of The Association of Corporate
Treasurers and the British Bankers' Association (neither of which
accepts any responsibility for any use to which these documents may
be put or for any loss, damage or liability whatsoever arising from
such use). Neither The Association of Corporate Treasurers nor the
British Bankers' Association has been involved in the development of
any of the other standard forms.
The Loan
Market Association consents to the use, reproduction and transmission
of these Materials by members of the Loan Market Association only for
the preparation and documentation of agreements relating to
transactions or potential transactions in the loan markets. The Loan
Market Association does not consent to the use, reproduction or
transmission of these Materials for any other purpose, in any other
manner or by any other person and expressly reserves all other
rights.
In
relation to the use of the Breakfunding Calculator (the "Calculator")
whilst the Loan Market Association has taken reasonable skill and
care to ensure that, when used correctly, the Calculator produces
accurate guidance as to breakfunding costs, the Loan Market
Association makes no representation or guarantee that information
obtained from use of the Calculator will be complete, accurate or
reliable. Results are provided without any warranty of any kind,
express or implied. The proper working of the Calculator is reliant
upon the correct input by users of information into all fields
necessary to produce results. Failure by a user to input information
fully and correctly is likely to lead to incorrect or misleading
results produced by the Calculator, for which the Loan Market
Association will not be responsible.
