9.05 Separability of Provisions

If any provision or provisions contained in this Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction as invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein not otherwise so declared shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable in such manner as may be provided by law.

 

9.06 Assignment

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall be enforceable on the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, provided that the Borrower shall have no right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

In case the assignment by a Lender is made to parties other than its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, the assignment shall take effect only when the Borrower receives at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment together with a copy of the instrument effecting such assignment, duly executed by the Lender and its assignees. No assignment however, shall be made to any direct competitor of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or its parent companies without the prior written consent of the Borrower. This prohibition, however, shall not apply to assignments by any Lender to banks, registered investment houses, insurance companies, investment companies and similar financial institutions.

The acts of
