Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time, and without Borrower’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 Borrower agrees that it shall execute, or cause to be executed, such documents, including without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith as Lender shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of Lender and any such Assignee, Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee and, if Lender has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to Lender, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the promissory note held by Lender prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans held by such Assignee and Lender after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments and any other documentation required by Lender in connection with such assignment, and the payment by Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by Lender, and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder (and under any and all other guaranties, documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by Lender pursuant to the assignment documentation between Lender and such Assignee, and Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent. Borrower may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession from time to time to prospective Assignees, provided that Lender shall require any such prospective Assignees to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information. The execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, including amendments and replacement promissory notes, and the reasonable attorney’s fees of Borrower’s counsel in reviewing such assignment documentation, shall be at Lender’s cost and expense.

10.17. Co-Borrowers. The term “Borrower” as used herein shall mean, unless this Agreement states otherwise or unless the context otherwise requires, the “Borrower and each of them” and each and every undertaking shall be their joint and several undertaking.

10.18. Cross-Guaranty. To induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement and in addition to all other terms and conditions contained herein, each Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender the prompt payment in full of all indebtedness and the performance of all obligations of every kind and nature now and hereafter owing by each other Borrower to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the Note, and each Borrower waives notice of the acceptance of such guaranty, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which such Borrower may be entitled, including, without limitation, demands of payment and notices of non-payment, default, protest and dishonor to such borrower or each other Borrower. Each Borrower further waives notice of and hereby consents to any agreement or arrangement for payment, extension, subordination, moratoria, composition, discharge or release of the whole or any part of each other Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the Note, the release of

other guarantors or the compromise of their obligations, and the change in location or release of any Collateral or the taking of a security interest in any additional or substituted Collateral.
