Assignment; Participation All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder of notes executed hereunder. The Bank may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents, including any portion of any note evidencing the Obligations, to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or assignment or enforcement thereof shall release the Bank from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents. The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time, and without the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s consent, to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each an “Assignee”), and the Borrower and each Guarantor agree that it shall execute such documents, including without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any other Loan Documents, as the Bank shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of the Bank and any such Assignee, the Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee and, if the Bank has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to the Bank, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the promissory note held by the Bank prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans held by such Assignee and the Bank after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments, and any other documentation required by the Bank in connection with such assignment, and the payment by such Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by the Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Bank hereunder (and under any and all of the other Loan Documents) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by the Bank pursuant to the assignment documentation between the Bank and such Assignee, and the Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent. The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time, and without the consent of or notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, to grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the Bank’s obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the Obligations. In the event of any such grant by the Bank of a participating interest to Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower, the Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank in connection with the Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder. The Bank may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in its possession from time to time to prospective Assignees and Participants, provided that the Bank shall require any such prospective Assignee or Participant to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Lender Participations (a) Although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer by novation its rights and obligations or assign its rights under all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.12 and 13.01) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and

As a condition to any Transfer by the Transferring Stockholder, the Transferring Stockholder must obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of all Participating Stockholders in any contemplated sale and will not transfer any of its Securities to the prospective transferee(s) if the prospective transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of the Participating Stockholders on the terms specified herein.

The agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant shall not give the participant the right to require such Bank to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly relating to (i) the extension of a payment date with respect to any portion of the principal, interest or fees on any amount outstanding hereunder allocated to such participant, (ii) the reduction of the principal amount outstanding hereunder, (iii) the reduction of the rate of interest payable on such amount or any amount of fees payable hereunder to a rate or amount, as the case may be, below that which the participant is entitled to receive under its agreement with such Bank, or (iv) the extension of the Final Maturity Date. Such Bank may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in the possession of such Bank from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such Bank shall require any such prospective assignee or such participant (prospective or otherwise) to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
