their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
2.    Payments.  The Assignee will pay the Assignor, on the Effective Date, the amount agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee.  From and after the Effective Date, Administrative Agent will make all payments in respect of the Assigned Interest (including payments of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees and other amounts) to the Assignor for amounts which have accrued to but excluding the Effective Date and to the Assignee for amounts which have accrued from and after the Effective Date.
3.    Additional Provisions.  Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Agreement to the contrary, Assignor and Administrative Agent agree that as between Assignor, Administrative Agent and Assignee (and Borrowers as to Sections 3.2, 3.4, and 3.6 below):
3.1    In addition to the limitations on supplemental agreements between Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and Borrowers set forth in Sections 10.12(a)-(d) of the Loan Agreement, Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), shall not enter into any supplemental agreement with Borrowers to release any Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.16 of the Loan Agreement.
3.2    Borrowers shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Lenders of any transfer of interests in the Borrowers (direct or indirect) of which any Borrower has actual knowledge, provided, however, that such obligation to notify Administrative Agent and Lenders shall only apply to transfers, whereby any Person that held less than a 25% ownership interest in any Borrower (directly or indirectly) prior to such transfer shall, following such transfer, hold a 25% or greater interest in any Borrower (directly or indirectly).  In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in any guaranty relating to the Loan, while a failure to notify described in this Section 3.2 may (subject to any notice and cure periods applicable thereto) result in an Event of Default under the Loan, in no event shall any such failure in and of itself trigger any liability whatsoever under any guaranty relating to the Loan (provided all rights and remedies shall otherwise remain available upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default relating to such failure).
3.3    Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement, Administrative Agent may not waive any requirement of the Loan Agreement for any Advance without the Required Lenders' consent other than one that is of an immaterial nature.
3.4    For the avoidance of doubt, any updated Appraisals ordered by Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.8(d) and/or 2.9(d) of the Loan Agreement shall be at Borrower's sole cost and expense.
3.5    To the extent Administrative Agent receives any information from Borrowers pursuant to Sections 6.15 or 6.19 of the Loan Agreement, Administrative Agent shall endeavor to deliver such information to Assignee within five (5) Business Days of Administrative Agent's receipt thereof.
