Benefit of Agreement Assignments (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 that neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without prior written consent of each of the Lenders; provided further that the rights of each Lender to transfer, assign, or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as provided by this Section 10.3.
(b) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and if no Default or Event of Default exists with the written consent of Crescent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no consent of the Agent or Crescent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender) (each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral amounts of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or all of such assigning Lender's Loans and Commitments (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Loans and Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $10,000,000); provided, however, that the Credit Parties and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrowers and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit E (an "Assignment and Acceptance") together with any Notes subject to such assignment, and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $5,000 (provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, waive such fee in connection with the initial syndication of the Commitments). The Borrowers agree to promptly execute and deliver new or replacement Notes as reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence assignments of the Loans and Commitments in accordance herewith.
(c) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement or any other Credit Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by the Credit Parties to the Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Credit Parties or the performance or observance by the Credit Parties of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(e) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 10.3(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.
(f) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more participants participating interests in any Loans, the Commitments of that Lender, and the other interests of that Lender (the "originating Lender") hereunder and under the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Credit Parties and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document except the matters set forth in Section 10.6(a)(i), Section 10.6(a)(ii), and Section 10.6(a)(iii), and (v) all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement.
(g) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.1 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Credit Parties or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any assignment of any loan, commitment, interest, or obligation hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall be effective only upon an entry with respect thereto being made in the Register.
(h) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and payment of the processing fee, the Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto.
(i) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the members of the Consolidated Group in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 10.15.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under Requirements of Law.
