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.
