liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect

assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of 
Applicants, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably 
necessary or appropriate for such purposes.

neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
