Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations, etc. (a) 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, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and any assignment made in contravention of this Section 13.04(a) shall be absolutely void and, provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participation in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder) except as provided in Sections 3.04 and 13.04(b) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Revolving Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory repayment of any Revolving Loan shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Revolving Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) modify any of the voting percentages set forth in Section 13.12 or the underlying definitions, (iv) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all the Security Documents supporting the Revolving Loans in which such participant is participating or (v) except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, release all or substantially all of the value of the Credit Party Guaranty supporting the Loans in which such participant is participating.

To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Revolving Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder, such assignee shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers such Tax forms as are required to be provided under clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.01. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 3.04 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 3.01 from those being charged by the assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). (c) [Reserved]. (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be.
