Agent

The bank that runs the loan for the lenders after signing. Every payment and notice passes through it, and it counts the lenders' votes. Its duties are mechanical: it judges nothing and owes no fiduciary duties. Clause 22.1 · Chapter 2 · Chapter 11

Explained in Chapter 2, Who's Who in a Syndicated Loan, of Finance Deals & Syndicated Lending.
