to collect the Loan. Extending the Loan or new obligations under the Loan, will not affect its duty under the Loan and the Company will still be obligated to pay the Loan. You may assign all or part of your rights or duties under this Agreement or
the Loan Documents without its consent. If you assign this Agreement, all of its covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents will benefit your successors and assigns. The Company may not
