COOPERATIVE PURCHASING PROGRAM PARTICIPATION Arkansas' Purchasing Law provides that local public procurement units (counties, municipalities, school districts, certain nonprofit corporations, etc.) may participate in state purchasing contracts. The contractor therefore agrees to sell to Cooperative Purchasing Program participants at the option of the program participants. Unless otherwise stated, all standard and special terms and conditions listed within the contract must be equally applied to such participants.
Assignment and Participation (a) Except as explicitly set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in the Loan Documents or any portion thereof (including Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder and thereunder).

Borrower agrees reasonably to cooperate with Lender, at Lender’s request, in order to effectuate any such Assignment or Participation. In the case of an Assignment, (i) each assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of the assigning Lender as a “Lender” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to an Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) one Lender shall at all times serve as agent for all Lenders and shall be the sole Lender to whom notices, requests and other communications shall be addressed and the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents hereunder on behalf of the Lenders (subject, in each case, to appointment of a Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.22, to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents or waivers or give notices, as the case may be) and to be the sole Lender to designate the account to which payments shall be made by Borrower to the Lenders hereunder (and Borrower may fully rely thereon, notwithstanding any contrary notice from any other Lender), and (iv) any assigning Lender that no longer holds any portion of the Loan shall deliver any Collateral held by it as Lender to the other Lenders or their custodian and, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver notices (prepared by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to such assigning Lender) to Tenants and/or the Cash Management Bank confirming such assignment.

Borrower agrees that upon effectiveness of any Assignment of any Note in part, Borrower will promptly provide to the assignor and the assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests (but, if applicable, with a notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of an original Note or any replacement thereof), and otherwise in the form of such Note (and with such other changes as may be reasonably required to reflect that such Note evidences only a portion of the Loan and the provisions of clause (iii) above), upon return of the Note then being replaced. The assigning Lender shall notify in writing each of the other Lenders of any Assignment. Each potential or actual assignee, participant or investor in a Securitization, and each Rating Agency, shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender under this Agreement. After the effectiveness of any Assignment, the party conveying the Assignment shall provide notice to Borrower and each Lender of the identity and address of the assignee and the amount so assigned. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment, the assigning Lender (in addition to the assignee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement which such assigning Lender had prior to such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such assignment.
(c) If, pursuant to this Section 9.7, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any transferee that is not a U.S. Person, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to furnish to the transferor Lender either Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any other form in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder, and (ii) to agree (for the benefit of Lender and Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any forms reasonably requested in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.
(d) Borrower shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with their compliance with any request by Lender under this Section 9.7.
(e) Each Lender hereunder shall be individually and severally (and not jointly) liable for the satisfaction of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(b) Any participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Loan in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of the scheduled amortization of the principal amount of any Loan in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the other Loan Documents).

(c) Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Administrative Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, new Notes evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans and Commitment and, if the assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment, replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Loans retained by the assignor Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by such Bank). Immediately upon each Assignee's making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Bank pro tanto.
(d) Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Company (a "Participant") participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Bank and the other interests of that Bank (the "originating Bank") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Company and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Bank in connection with the originating Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Bank shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to
01. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank 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 set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
Consent to Loan Participation Borrower agrees and consents to Lender’s sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.
