Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

Successor to Company. The Employer shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Employer, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Employer’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Employer would be required to perform. Accordingly, this Plan and the related Deferral and Investment Election Forms shall be binding upon, and the term “Employer” shall include any successor or assignee to the business or assets of the Employer.

Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days (ten days if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrowers (unless such notice is waived by Borrowers or a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as Issuing Bank or the Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as Issuing Bank or the Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swing Loans. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrowers, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this [Section 15] shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

Successor Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, the Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower notifies the Lender that the Borrower has determined, that:

Successor Partnership. If the Partnership is dissolved or to be dissolved for any reason specified in Section 10.1, and any Limited Partner shall deliver to each of the other Limited Partners within thirty (30) days of such event, a written notice demanding that a meeting of Limited Partners be held at the principal place of business of the Partnership at the time set forth in such notice (which shall be not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice) the Limited Partners shall hold such meeting. Limited Partners attending such meeting, either in person or by proxy, and having an aggregate Limited Partner Percentage of not less than one hundred percent (100%) may continue the business of the Partnership and reconstitute the Partnership as a successor limited partnership with a new General Partner having the capacity to serve as such and who is able to meet any requirements then imposed by the Code or any rulings or regulations thereunder with respect to general partners of limited partnerships in order that the Partnership not become an association taxable as a corporation. If such Limited Partners shall exercise such right to continue the business of the Partnership, the person appointed by them as the new General Partner and each of the Limited Partners shall execute, acknowledge and file a Limited Partnership Certificate and Agreement. The Limited Partnership Certificate and Agreement shall contain substantially the same provisions as those contained herein, except that the new General Partner shall be allocated such share of the profits, losses and distributions of the Partnership as the Limited Partners appointing such new General Partner shall determine. Such new General Partner shall indicate his acceptance of the appointment by the execution of such Limited Partnership Certificate and Agreement.

Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each such successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to approval by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least ​. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this [Article XI] shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Subject to [Section 7(g)], with respect to the Escrow Agent, no party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that # the circumstances set forth in [clause (a)](i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, # the applicable supervisor or administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining interest rates for loans (such specific date, the "LIBOR Scheduled Unavailability Date"), or # a rate other than the LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark interest rate for newly originated loans of this type made in Dollars to borrowers domiciled in the United States, then the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrowers, select an alternate benchmark interest rate (including any credit spread or other adjustments to such alternate benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) to replace the LIBOR Rate for purposes of this Agreement (such rate, the "LIBOR Successor Rate").

Successor and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and the Company and their respective successors, heirs and assigns. Executive hereby consents to the assignment of this Agreement to any of Company’s successors, assigns, or purchasers of its assets.

Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation, amalgamation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower in accordance with [Section 9.14] hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Borrower is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Agreement referring to the Borrower shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Borrower), and may exercise every right and power of the Borrower under this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Borrower herein; provided that the predecessor Borrower shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Loans except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Borrower’s assets that meets the requirements of [Section 9.14] hereof.
