Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders that the request for joint handling of the Obligations is made because the Borrowers are engaged in an integrated operation that requires financing on a basis permitting the availability of credit from time to time to the Borrowers as required for the continued successful operation of each of them and their integrated operations. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from such availability because the successful operation of the Borrowers and the Guarantors is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group.
