Right to Assign Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, a natural Person or, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, a Disqualified Institution) with the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except in connection with a proposed assignment to any Disqualified Institution) of the Administrative Agent, and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the prior written consent of the Borrower, and, in the case of any Sale of a Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolver Agent and each L/C Issuer that is a Lender (which such consent of L/C Issuer and the Borrower shall be deemed to have been given unless an objection is delivered to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after notice of a proposed Sale is delivered to the Borrower) (each of the Persons described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being called herein an “Eligible Assignee”); provided, however, that (w) such Sales do not have to be ratable between the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans or the Term Loan, (x) for each Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and Letter of Credit Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (to the extent Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Sale of a Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolver Agent, (y) interest accrued, prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned, and (z) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in subsection 1.11(e)(v). The Administrative Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Credit Party, a holder of other Indebtedness of a Credit Party or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to a Person that would be a Non-Funding or Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. In no event shall any Lender Sell any Loan or Commitment to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and any such purported Sale shall be null and void.
Binding on Successors, Transferees and Assigns; Assignment This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred, shall be binding upon the Grantors and their successors, transferees and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns; provided that no Grantor may (unless otherwise permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement or this Security Agreement) assign any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders.
Assignment of Rights and Obligations (a) Without Owners’ prior written consent, Managing Agent shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of or mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or permit or suffer any encumbrance of all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder, and any transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of an interest herein made or attempted in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffective, and shall not be binding upon Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Managing Agent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to any subsidiary of Parent so long as such subsidiary is then and remains Controlled by Parent. (b) Owners, without Managing Agent’s consent, may not assign their respective rights or delegate their respective obligations hereunder. (c) Any assignment permitted hereunder shall not release the assignor hereunder.
Right to Sell Assignor may not Transfer any interest in the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests or any part thereof or any undivided interest therein in violation of Section 11.04. Subject to Section 11.02 and 11.04, Assignor may from time to time Transfer, mortgage or pledge its interest in the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests, or any part thereof or undivided interest therein, if and only if (i) such Transfer, mortgage or pledge is made expressly subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance; (ii) solely in connection with a Transfer other than a Transfer pursuant to a foreclosure on any mortgage or security interest, Assignor has caused the assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee of any such transaction to (A) acknowledge that the affected Subject Interests are taken subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance, and (B) assume and agree to discharge Assignor’s obligations under this Conveyance with respect to such Subject Interests from and after the actual date of any such Transfer; and (iii) in connection with any Transfer pursuant to a foreclosure on any mortgage or security interest, Assignor has used commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee of any such transaction to (A) acknowledge that the affected Subject Interests are taken subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance, and (B) assume and agree to discharge Assignor’s obligations under this Conveyance with respect to such Subject Interests from and after the actual date of any such Transfer. Any assumption and agreement to discharge shall be by appropriate written instrument for the express benefit of and enforceable by Assignee. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.01(a) is intended to permit any assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee to acquire any interest in the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests or any part thereof or undivided interest therein without being subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance. Assignee shall not be required to recognize any purported Transfer, mortgage or pledge not made in conformance with this Section 11.01(a) and, notwithstanding any such purported Transfer, mortgage or pledge, Assignor shall remain obligated under this Conveyance just as if such Transfer, mortgage or pledge attempt had not been made and Assignee shall continue to deal with Assignor to the exclusion of the purported transferee. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any purported Transfer not made in conformance with this Section 11.01(a) shall be void and of no effect.
Successors and Assigns Participations Assignments (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. (b) The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by any Borrower 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 Lenders. (c) No Lenders may at any time assign or grant participations in such Lender’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 Lender shall be deemed to be null and void). (d) Each assignment by a Lender 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 made on a pro rata basis, and shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or such lesser amount as the Agent shall agree and (y) the entire remaining amount of assigning Lender’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 Lender’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 H (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 (provided however that such Lender need not deliver an Assignment Agreement in connection with assignments to such Lender’s Affiliates or to a Federal Reserve Bank). 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 Borrowers and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender 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 the rights and obligations of a Lender 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 Lender shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to the assigning Lender pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the assigning Lender, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by such Lender hereunder. The Agent, the Lenders and each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and replacement of the Notes issued to the assigning lender 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. (e) The Borrowers and the Agent acknowledge that each of the Lenders may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, grant participations in such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder (on a pro rata basis only) and under the other Loan Documents to any Person (other than a natural person or to any Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries); provided that 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 Lender 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 Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Credit Parties 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 Lender), except for those matters covered by Section 13.10(a) through (e) hereof (provided that a participant may exercise any of the approval rights granted above in this clause (iii) only on an indirect basis, acting through such Lender and the Credit Parties, Agent and the other Lenders may continue to deal directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and duties hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the case of any participation granted by any Lender hereunder, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents against the Agent, any other Lender or any Credit Party; provided, however that the participant may have rights against such Lender in respect of such participation as may be set forth in the applicable participation agreement and all amounts payable by the Credit Parties hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Each such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a Lender 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 issuing Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such issuing Lender to such participant had no such transfer occurred and each such participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.6 hereof as though it were a Lender, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.3 hereof as though it were a Lender. (f) Any Lender 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 Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (g) The Agent shall 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 Lenders, the Percentages of such Lenders and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing to each such Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders may 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 Borrowers or any Lender 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 Borrower Representative of the making of any entry in the Register or any change in such entry. (h) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant which has satisfied the requirements hereunder, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Credit Parties which has been delivered to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, provided that each such prospective assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 13.11 hereof or shall otherwise agree to be bound by the terms thereof. (i) 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.
Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) Borrower may not, directly or indirectly, assign or transfer, or attempt to assign or transfer, any of its Rights, duties, or obligations under any Loan Documents without the express written consent of all Lenders, and (ii) except as permitted NBPLP CREDIT AGREEMENT under this Section, no Lender may transfer, pledge, assign, sell any participation in, or otherwise encumber its portion of the Obligation. (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its Rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Borrowings and its Notes to the extent any Principal Debt owed to such assigning Lender is evidenced by a Note or Notes); provided, however, that: (i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's Rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, any such partial assignment under the Facility shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless Borrower and Administrative Agent consent thereto (in their sole discretion) in writing which may be evidenced by their acceptance and execution of the related Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; provided that, no partial assignment for the Facility (including any assignment among Lenders) may result in any Lender holding less than $10,000,000, provided further that, a Lender may hold an amount less than $10,000,000 but greater than $5,000,000 only if such Lender shall hold at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate of this Facility and the Multi- Year Revolving Agreement (notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Multi-Year Revolving Agreement is terminated, any Lender may continue to hold an amount in this Facility greater than or equal to the amount such Lender held on the date of the termination of the Multi-Year Revolving Agreement); (iii) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of EXHIBIT E hereto, together with any Notes (to the extent any Principal Debt owed to such assigning Lender is evidenced by a Note or Notes) subject to such assignment and a processing fee of $3,500, including, without limitation, any assignment between Lenders; and (iv) so long as any Lender is an Agent under this Agreement, such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) shall retain an economic interest in the Loan Documents, will not assign all of its Rights, duties, or obligations under the Loan Documents, except to an Affiliate of such Lender, and will not enter into any Assignment and Acceptance Agreement that would have the effect of such Lender assigning all of its Rights, duties, or obligations under the Loan Documents to any Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender unless such Agent has relinquished such title in accordance with SECTION 13.1 (with respect to Administrative Agent) or SECTION 13.10 (with respect to the other Agents). Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, Rights, and benefits of a Lender under the Loan Documents and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its Rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section, but only upon the request of the assignor or assignee made through Administrative Agent, Borrower shall issue appropriate Notes to the assignor and the assignee, reflecting such Assignment and Acceptance. If the assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with SECTION 4.6. (c) Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in SECTION 14.3 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for NBPLP CREDIT AGREEMENT the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentage, and principal amount of the Borrowings 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 Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of the Loan Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon the consummation of any assignment in accordance with this SECTION 14.13, SCHEDULE 2.1 shall automatically be deemed amended (to the extent required) by Administrative Agent to reflect the name, address, and, where appropriate, respective Committed Sums under the Facility (as the case may be) of the assignor and assignee. (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties thereto, together with any Notes (to the extent any Principal Debt owed to such assigning Lender is evidenced by a Note or Notes) subject to such assignment and payment of the processing fee, Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of EXHIBIT E hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto. (e) Subject to the provisions of this Section and in accordance with applicable Law, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a "PARTICIPANT") participating interests in its portion of the Obligation. In the event of any such sale to a Participant, (i) such Lender shall remain a "Lender" under the Loan Documents and the Participant shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder, (ii) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iv) such Lender shall remain the holder of its share of the Principal Debt for all purposes under the Loan Documents, (v) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's Rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, and (vi) such Lender shall be solely responsible for any withholding taxes or any filing or reporting requirements relating to such participation and shall hold Borrower and Administrative Agent and their respective successors, permitted assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives harmless against the same. Participants shall have no Rights under the Loan Documents, other than certain voting Rights as provided below. Subject to the following, each Lender shall be entitled to obtain (on behalf of its Participants) the benefits of SECTION 4 with respect to all participations in its part of the Obligation outstanding from time to time, so long as Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amount in excess of the amount that would be due to such Lender under SECTION 4 calculated as though no participations have been made. No Lender shall sell any participating interest under which the Participant shall have any Rights to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, modification, or waiver extends the due date for payment of any amount in respect of principal (other than mandatory prepayments), interest, or fees due under the Loan Documents, reduces the interest rate or the amount of principal or fees applicable to the Obligation (except such reductions as are contemplated by the Loan Documents), or releases all or any substantial portion of the Guaranties under the Loan Documents; provided that, in those cases where a Participant is entitled to the benefits of SECTION 4 or a Lender grants Rights to its Participants to approve amendments to or waivers of the Loan Documents respecting the matters previously described in this sentence, such Lender must include a voting mechanism in the relevant participation agreement or agreements, as the case may be, whereby a majority of such Lender's portion of the Obligation (whether held by such Lender or Participant) shall control the vote for all of such Lender's portion of the Obligation. Except in the case of the sale of a participating interest to another Lender, the relevant participation agreement shall not permit the Participant to transfer, pledge, assign, sell participations in, or otherwise encumber its portion of the Obligation, unless the consent of the transferring Lender (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) has been obtained. NBPLP CREDIT AGREEMENT (f) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may, without notice to, or the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, at any time assign and pledge all or any portion of its Borrowings and its Notes (to the extent any Principal Debt owed to such assigning Lender is evidenced by a Note or Notes) to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Borrowings and its Notes (to the extent any Principal Debt owed to such assigning Lender is evidenced by a Note or Notes) to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. (g) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Loan Parties in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Eligible Assignees and Participants (including prospective Eligible Assignees and Participants), subject to the provisions of SECTION 14.14.
