Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and the Banks and their respective successors and assigns.
(b) The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by Company of its rights or duties hereunder, and, except as otherwise provided herein, no such assignment shall be made (or be effective) without the prior written approval of the Banks.
(c) No Bank may at any time assign or grant participations in such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents except (i) by way of assignment to any Eligible Assignee in accordance with clause (d) of this Section, (ii) by way of a participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) of this Section or (iii) by way of a pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Bank shall be deemed to be null and void).
(d) Each assignment by a Bank of all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) each such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or such lesser amount as the Agent and, provided no Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(j) has occurred and is continuing or any other Event of Default has occurred and has continued for ten (10) days, Company shall agree and (y) the entire remaining amount of assigning Bank’s aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit); provided however that, after giving effect to such assignment, in no event shall the entire remaining amount (if any) of assigning Bank’s aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit) be less than $5,000,000; and
(ii) the parties to any assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement substantially (as determined by Agent) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (with appropriate insertions acceptable to Agent), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in the Assignment Agreement. Until the Assignment Agreement becomes effective in accordance with its terms, and Agent has confirmed that the assignment satisfies the requirements of this Section 13.8, the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Bank in connection with the interest so assigned. From and after the effective date of each Assignment Agreement that satisfies the requirements of this Section 13.8, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement, such assignee shall have (to the extent of the assigned interest) the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in respect of the period following such assignment) and the assigning Bank shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (to the extent of the assigned interest). Upon request, Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assignee in an amount of the Revolving Commitment equal to the amount assigned to the assigning Bank pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the assigning Bank, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Commitment retained by such Bank hereunder. The Agent, the Banks and the Company acknowledges and agrees that any such new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and replacement of the Notes issued to the assigning Bank prior to such assignment and shall not effect or constitute a novation or discharge of the Indebtedness evidenced by such prior Note, and each such new Note may contain a provision confirming such agreement. In addition, promptly following receipt of such Notes, Agent shall prepare and distribute to Company, and each of the Banks a revised Schedule 1.2 to this Agreement setting forth the applicable new Percentages of the Banks (including the assignee Bank), taking into account such assignment.
(e) The Company and the Agent acknowledge that each of the Banks may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, grant participations in such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person (other than a natural person or to Company or any of Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and any participation permitted hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to a participation agreement that incorporates the following restrictions:
(i) such Bank shall remain the holder of its Notes hereunder (if such Notes are issued), notwithstanding any such participation;
(ii) a participant shall not reassign or transfer, or grant any sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder or any part thereof; and
(iii) such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to proceed against any Guarantors, or cause the Agent to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of the participant (unless such participant is an Affiliate of such Bank), except for those matters requiring the consent of each of the Banks under Section 13.11 (provided that a participant may exercise approval rights over such matters only on an indirect basis, acting through such Bank and the Company, its Subsidiaries, Agent and the other Banks may continue to deal directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and duties hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the case of any participation granted by any Bank hereunder, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents against the Agent, any other Bank or any of the Company and its Subsidiaries and all amounts payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation; provided, however that the participant may have rights against such Bank in respect of such participation as may be set forth in the applicable participation agreement. Each such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (d) of this Section, provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such the provisions of Article 11 than the Bank selling such participation would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such issuing Bank to such participant had no such transfer occurred and each such participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7 hereof as though it were a Bank, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.3 hereof as though it were a Bank; and provided, further that any participant must exercise its rights through the Bank selling such participation, and may not proceed directly against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and
(iv) each participant shall provide the relevant tax form required under Section 13.15.
(f) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.
(g) The Agent shall (acting as non fiduciary agent for the Company, solely for purposes of this Section 13.8) maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, the Percentages of such Banks and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing to each such Bank from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Company, the Agent, and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Bank (but only with respect to any entry relating to such Bank’s Percentages and the principal amounts owing to such Bank) upon reasonable notice to the Agent and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on their prior written request. The Agent shall give prompt written notice to the Company of the making of any entry in the Register or any change in such entry.
(h) Each Bank that sells a participation shall (acting as non-fiduciary agent for the Company, solely for purposes of this Section 13.8) maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each participant’s interest in each type of Advance or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(i) Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant which has satisfied the requirements hereunder, any and all financial information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement, provided that each such prospective assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 13.13 hereof or shall otherwise agree to be bound by the terms thereof.
(j) Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.
Effect on Successors and Assigns All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture made by or on behalf of the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
