were perfected. Agent agrees to execute and deliver to KFI all
subordinations of lien, in form and manner satisfactory to KFI and
Agent, necessary to effectuate the purposes of this paragraph and this
Agreement.

incurred or may hereafter incur in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, reproduction, interpretation, perfection, protection of
collateral, administration and enforcement of this Agreement, the
collection of all amounts due under this Agreement, and all
amendments, modifications, consents or waivers, if any, to this
Agreement. The Borrower's reimbursement obligations under this

executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns, and (ii)
shall inure to the benefit of Agent, Borrower and KFI and, where
applicable, their respective heirs, executors, administrators,

Borrower may not assign their rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein without the prior written consent of KFI, and any such
assignment or attempted assignment by Agent and/or Borrower shall be
void and of no effect with respect to KFI. KFI may from time to time
sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in the
KFI Debt and the Loans and/or the Agreement and/or the obligations
evidenced thereby. Agent authorizes KFI to provide information
concerning this Agreement to any prospective purchaser, assignee or
participant.

inconsistency of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or
agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the
legality, enforceability or consistency of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.
