Xxxxxxxx agrees that the amount of funds to be transferred to Western Union or Convera Payment Solutions shall be reflected as an expense line item in the financial reporting provided to the Lender under Section 11(b) of this Agreement for the reporting period immediately prior to such anticipated transfer.

The Lender may assign all or a portion of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

19. No Amendment. Any amendment, or waiver of, or any consent given under, any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and, in the case of any amendment, signed by the parties or their permitted successors and assigns.

20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the final and complete agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter herein, and all prior negotiations, representations, understandings, writings and statements of any nature with respect thereto are hereby superseded in their entirety by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

21. Further Assurances. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall execute and deliver any and all reasonable additional documents, agreements and instruments, and take such additional reasonable action (including the filing and recording of financing statements) as may be reasonably requested by the Lender, without payment of further consideration, to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Agreement and consistent with the provisions of, and limitations contained in, the Credit Documents. The Borrower and each Guarantor agree to cooperate with, and shall cause their Subsidiaries and their advisors to cooperate with, any financial advisors or appraisers that may from time to time be retained by or on behalf of the Lender, including, without limitation, providing reasonable access (upon reasonable advance notice) to their premises, personnel and books and records.

22. Advice of Counsel. Each Credit Party has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement with the advice of legal counsel of its choosing, or has knowingly waived the right to do so.

Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby reaffirms its agreement under the applicable Credit Documents to pay or reimburse the Lender for certain costs and expenses incurred by the Lender. The Credit Parties are jointly and severally liable for their obligations under this Section 23.

24. Release. The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby release, waive, and forever relinquish all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any of them have, may have, or might assert at the time of execution of the Agreement against the Lender and/or its parents, affiliates, participants, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, consultants, successors and assigns, directly or indirectly, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or begun prior to the execution of this Agreement, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with (i) any transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, with respect to the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or the administration thereof or the Obligations created thereby; (ii) any discussions, commitments, negotiations, conversations or communications with respect to the refinancing, restructuring or collection of any Obligations related to the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or the administration thereof or the Obligations created thereby, or (iii) any matter related to the foregoing, in each case, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
