grammar question
English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
In the following sentence, what is the correct way to refer back to the Borrower later on in the sentence? Is it a UK/US issue? The doubt I have is in capital letters.
The Borrower accepts the Loan granted and undertakes to reimburse the amounts owed as principal on the Loan and to pay the interest accrued, and to honor all other commitments IT/THEY/(THE BORROWER)/OTHER has assumed.

he or she
but there are ways of getting around this: on the loan and agrees to pay the interest accrued as well as honoring all other commitments assumed as part of this contract agreement
agrees to reimburse..., pay..., and honor all other commitments assumed
agrees to reimburse..., pay..., and honor all other commitments assumed

: Prefer the workaround; may even be as simple as "commitments assumed herein".

they have assumed
I would say 'they' because you haven't precise information about who the borrower is. The borrower could be an individual, could be a company, group of people, third parties, who knows. This would be the best general and collective way of assuming the possession of the borrower.
Oh, and scrub 'has' to 'have', obviously.
