Participations and Assignments (a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons that extends secured commercial loans in its ordinary course of business and has assets or capital of at least $100,000,000 (other than (i) a natural person or (ii) any Defaulting Lender or its wholly-owned subsidiaries or its other Affiliates) (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and also such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (all of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender). Except as Administrative Agent may otherwise agree (and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or, if less, the remaining Loan held by the assigning Lender. Borrower and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Administrative Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). No assignment may be made to any Person if at the time of such assignment Borrower would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Sections 3.1 or 3.3 to the Assignee than Borrower is then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, Borrower will not be required to pay such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 12.15 shall be treated as the sale of a participation hereunder. Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower has expressly objected to such assignment within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (provided that no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or its wholly-owned subsidiaries or its other Affiliates) and (y) the consent of each Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).
Assignment and Assumption Agreements Purchaser shall have executed and tendered to Seller the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Real Estate Assignment Documents to which it is party.
Amendment and Assignment This Agreement may be altered, amended or modified, including the addition of any extra policy provisions, by a written instrument signed by the Employer and the Employee. Either party may, subject to the limitations of Article IV, assign its interest and obligations under this Agreement, provided, however, that any assignment will be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender.
Enurement and Assignment This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto.
Licenses and Assignments Except as otherwise permitted by the Secured Debt Agreements, each Assignor hereby agrees not to divest itself of any right under any Patent or Copyright absent prior written approval of the Collateral Agent.
Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations (a) Subject to Sections 12.2(f) and (h), a Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights and delegate all or a portion of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to one or more Persons (a “Transferee”); provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such Transferee shall be a BDC or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of a BDC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the immediately proceeding proviso, there shall be no limitation or restriction on any Lender’s ability to assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Note or other Obligation. The Transferee and such Lender shall execute and deliver for acceptance and recording in the Register, a Lender Addition Agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion (“Lender Addition Agreement”). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement, (i) the Transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Lender Addition Agreement, have the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof, as the case may be, to the extent that such obligations shall have been expressly assumed by the Transferee pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Addition Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but, with respect to matters occurring before such assignment, shall nevertheless continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.4 and 12.7). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the Transferee and that the Transferee shall be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder. Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, including Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers, and duties hereunder or thereunder.

Lender Assignments and Participations (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Advances, its Notes, and its Commitments); 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 an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such lower amount unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (iii) each assignment of a Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to Advances and its Commitments shall be of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement as a Lender and the Notes (other than rights of reimbursement and indemnity arising before the effective date of such assignment); and (iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Notes subject to such assignment and the assignor or assignee Lender shall pay a processing fee of $3,500; provided that such processing fee shall not be required for the initial assignments made by Amegy as a Lender in connection with the initial syndication of its Commitments hereunder and such processing fee may be waived at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.7, the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. The assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any applicable forms or certifications in accordance with Section 2.12(e).
Assignments and Participation (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) with the prior written consent of the Borrower to the extent the assignee thereunder is not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to the extent the assignee thereunder is not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment or Note(s) to be held by such assignee (after giving effect to such assignment and any other assignments being made concurrently therewith to the same assignee by one or more other Lenders) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000, unless such assignment is of the entire amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a Lender Assignment, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $2,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Lender Assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it to an assignee pursuant to such Lender Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment 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); provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have declared all Advances to be immediately due and payable hereunder a Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations without the prior written consent of the Borrower but otherwise in accordance with this Section.
