This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender and, provided further, that, although Lender may sell participations in its rights hereunder without the need for notice to, or consent of, Borrower, each participant must be a [[Borrower:Organization]] or state-chartered bank and a participant shall not constitute a “lender” hereunder. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if Lender had not sold such participation and Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Lender, other than to a public Borrower which shall succeed to the interest of the Borrower and which (by operation of law, contract or otherwise) becomes legally bound to all of the terms and conditions hereof.. Lender shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement and to grant participations in the Loan to others, but all waivers or abridgements of Borrower’s obligations that may be granted from time to time by Lender shall be binding upon such assignees or participants. Borrower shall, promptly upon demand, provide Lender or any such purchaser or participant, one or more written statements confirming Borrower’s indebtedness to Lender and all obligations in connection with the Loan, including the existence of any default thereunder.

SECTION # Successors and Assigns; Participation. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, except that Borrower may not assign any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or any part of or may grant participation to one or more Persons, in all or any part of the Loans, and to the extent of any assignment or participation the assignee or participant of such assignment or participation shall have the rights and benefits hereunder as if it were a Lender hereunder, except that Borrower shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Lender and rely upon documents, consents and writings signed solely by Lender, without the necessity of any such participant joining in. Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any purchaser or participant, or any prospective purchaser or participant of an interest in the Loans, any financial or other information pertaining to Borrower.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders except as permitted by this Agreement.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph # of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the [[Lenders:Organization]]’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

The Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and Letters of Credit and the Loans owing to it); provided that # the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; # the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and # the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of [Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15]5]5] (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph # of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under [Section 2.13 or 2.15]5], with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

Participations. Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to it); provided that # such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, # such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and # the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other [[Consenting Lenders:Organization]] shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to [Section 9.02(b)] that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph # of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of [Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16]6] to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph # of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of [Section 9.08] as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder.

Generally. This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that none of the Borrowers may assign and transfer any of its interests, rights or obligations under any Credit Document (except as permitted by [Sections 8.4 or 8.5]5]) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (and any attempt at such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void); and provided further that the rights of each [[Organization A:Organization]] to transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in subsections [(b) and (c) of this Section 11.3]. Notwithstanding the above (including anything set forth in subsections [(b) and (c) of this Section 11.3]), nothing herein shall restrict, prevent or prohibit any [[Organization A:Organization]] from # pledging or assigning a security interest in its rights hereunder or under its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such [[Organization A:Organization]], including any pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such [[Organization A:Organization]] from such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a [[Organization A:Organization]] from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such [[Organization A:Organization]] as a party hereto, or # granting assignments or participations in such [[Organization A:Organization]]’s Loans and/or Commitments hereunder to its parent company and/or to any Affiliate of such [[Organization A:Organization]] or to any existing [[Organization A:Organization]] or Affiliate thereof. Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection # of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns. The Borrower and the Lender may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without prior written consent of the other party.
