Benefit of Agreement Assignments (a) This Credit 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 none of the Credit Parties may assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without prior written consent 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 set forth in this Section 11.3.
Benefit of Agreement Assignments Participations (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, no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations 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, Loans or related Obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 13.05(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, assign or grant any participation (w) to a natural person, (x) to a Competitor (unless consented to by Borrower), (y) to a Disqualified Lender (unless consented to by Borrower) or (z) 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 date for any scheduled payment on, or the final scheduled maturity of, any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond any applicable R/C Maturity Date (unless such Letter of Credit is required to be cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction or the participations therein are required to be assumed by Lenders that have commitments which extend beyond such R/C Maturity Date)) 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 reduction in the total Commitments or Total Revolving Commitments or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or other Credit Document to which it is a party or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (a), Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01, and 5.06 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 13.05. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender 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. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a 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 Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent 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. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.06 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the entitlement to a greater payment results from any change in applicable Laws after the date the participant became a participant.
Continuing Agreements All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrowers in this Agreement, in any of the other Financing Documents, and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Revolving Loan, the issuance of Letters of Credit and the execution and delivery of the Notes, shall be binding upon Borrowers regardless of how long before or after the date hereof any of the Obligations were or are incurred, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid. From time to time upon Lender’s request, and as a condition of the release of any one or more of the Security Documents, Borrowers and other Persons obligated with respect to the Obligations shall provide Lender with such acknowledgments and agreements as Lender may require to the effect that there exists no defenses, rights of setoff or recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever in connection with the Obligations against Lender and/or any of its agents and others, or to the extent there are, the same are waived and released.
Benefit; Assignment Subject to provisions herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns. No party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that a party hereto may assign its interest (or a portion thereof) in this Agreement to an Affiliate, but, in such event, the assignor shall be required to remain obligated hereunder in the same manner as if such assignment had not been effected.
