4.2           Payment and Prepayment of Loans

Prior to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.1 above, the Company shall:

(a)           immediately upon any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 21.4, repay the amount of the Loans to the extent so accelerated;

(b)           if on any date the Percentage Factor exceeds 100%, as determined by reference to the most recent Daily Report delivered under the Servicing Agreement, make a prepayment of the Loans on the next Business Day, in an amount sufficient to cause the Percentage Factor to be less than or equal to 100%, as determined by reference to such Daily Report; provided that no

9

such prepayment shall be required if (i) the amount by which the Aggregate Receivables Amount falls short of the Target Receivables Amount is less than the Exchange Rate Protection Amount at such time and (ii) such deficiency is attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates arising between the delivery of the two most recently delivered Daily Reports;

(c)           if on any date the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, make a prepayment of the Loans on the next Business Day in an amount sufficient to cause the Aggregate Principal Balance to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitment such prepayment to be made solely out of Collections available for such purpose pursuant to Section 17 or 18, as applicable; and

Each prepayment of the Loans (whether optional or mandatory) must be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid and any other amounts (including amounts payable under Section 10) due hereunder in respect of such prepayment.  In the event that derecognition of assets under U.S. GAAP is sought by Huntsman International, no optional prepayment shall be made by the Company hereunder except out of Collections.

4.3           Reductions of the Commitments

(b)           Once the Aggregate Commitment is reduced pursuant to this Section 4.3 it may not subsequently be reinstated without the prior written consent of each Lender.

10

11.           TAXES

11.1         Definitions

(a)           In this Agreement:

“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and

“Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by the Company to a Facility Indemnified Party under Section 11.2 or a payment under Section 11.3.

(b)           Unless a contrary intention appears, in this Section 10 a reference to “determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.

11.2         Tax gross-up

(a)           The Company shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(b)           The Company shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender (or its Funding Agent) shall notify the Company, the Master Servicer and Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender.

(c)                                  If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company, the amount of the payment due from the Company shall be increased to an amount which

21

(after making any Tax Deduction) leaves the recipient of such payment with an amount equal to the payment which would have been received by it if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(d)           Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof or the District of Columbia shall:

(i)            deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the related Funding Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8IMY, or successor applicable form and such other forms, certificates and documentation as may be necessary or appropriate to establish, in each case, that it is entitled to receive payments from the Company without a deduction for U.S. federal withholding tax or with a deduction at a reduced rate.  In the case of a Lender that provides an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, such Lender shall either (i) claim the benefit of a treaty that provides for a complete exemption from United States withholding tax for payments of interest or (ii) claim the benefit of the U.S. “portfolio interest exemption” by also providing a certification that is not a “bank” making a loan under this Agreement in the ordinary course of its business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or a person related to the Company in a manner described in Sections 871(h)(3)(B), 881(c)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code.  If a Lender that provides an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN is unable to claim a complete exemption from the United States withholding tax because of a change in law after the date such Lender became a party to this Supplement, such Lender will be treated as satisfying the requirements of this Section 11.2(d), as the case may be;

(ii)           deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (A) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent and (C) at the reasonable request of the Master Servicer, the Company, the Collateral Agent or the related Funding Agent; and

(iii)          obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent;

unless any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to, and is in effect on, the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender (or its Funding Agent) so advises the Company and the related Funding Agent.  Each Lender shall certify to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the related

22

Funding Agent at the time it first becomes a Lender, and thereafter to the extent provided by law, (i) all such forms are true and complete, (ii) that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (iii) that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 36.17 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer and the related Funding Agent all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section; provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased and such Lender shall provide such forms to the Company with a duly executed Form W-8IMY and withholding statement.  If the Company, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has not received the forms set forth in Section 11.2(d), the Company shall withhold taxes from such payment at the applicable statutory rate and shall not be obliged to make increased payments under Section 11.2 until such forms or other documents are delivered.

(e)                                  Each Lender that is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Collateral Agent and the related Funding Agent two duly completed copies of the United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor applicable form.

(f)            The Company is not required to make any payment under Section 11.2(c) to the extent such payment would be due as the result of the relevant Funding Agent, Lender or Participant not providing the forms required by Section 11.2(d)(i), or 11.2(d)(ii) unless the failure to provide such forms is a result of a change after the date it became a Lender or a Participant under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any Requirement of Law or any published practice or concession of any relevant Taxation Authority.

(g)           If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Company shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(h)           Within thirty (30) days after making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Company shall deliver to each Funding Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender entitled to that payment that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant Taxation Authority.

11.3         Tax indemnity

be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Facility Indemnified Party in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(b)           Clause (a) shall not apply:

(i)            with respect to any Tax assessed on a Facility Indemnified Party:

(A)          under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Facility Indemnified Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Facility Indemnified Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(B)           under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Facility Indemnified Party’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Facility Indemnified Party; or

(ii)           to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(A)          is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 11.2; or

(B)           would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 11.2 but was not so compensated solely because the exclusion in Section 11.2(f) applied.

(c)           A Facility Indemnified Party making, or intending to make a claim under clause (a) above shall promptly notify the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

(d)           A Facility Indemnified Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Company under this Section 11.3, notify the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent.

11.4         Tax Credit

If the Company makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Facility Indemnified Party determines that:

(a)           a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(b)           that Facility Indemnified Party has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit,

the Facility Indemnified Party shall pay an amount to the Company which that Facility Indemnified Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same

24

after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Company.

11.5         Stamp taxes

The Company shall pay and, within three (3) Funding Business Days after demand, indemnify each Facility Indemnified Party against any cost, loss or liability that Facility Indemnified Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of this Agreement except for any such Taxes payable in respect of an assignment, transfer, or novation of any rights or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

11.6         Value added tax

(a)                                  All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by any party to this Agreement to a Facility Indemnified Party which (in whole or part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to clause (c) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Facility Indemnified Party to any party to this Agreement pursuant to this Agreement, that party to this Agreement shall pay to the Facility Indemnified Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Facility Indemnified Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

(b)                                 If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Facility Indemnified Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Facility Indemnified Party (the “Recipient”) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and any party to this Agreement (the “Relevant Party”) is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to pay an amount equal to the value of such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), the Relevant Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant Taxation Authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(c)                                  Where any party to this Agreement is required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to reimburse a Facility Indemnified Party for any costs or expenses, that party to this Agreement or such other Transaction Document shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Facility Indemnified Party against all VAT incurred by the Facility Indemnified Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Facility Indemnified Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant Taxation Authority in respect of the VAT.

25

11.7         Tax affairs

(a)           Nothing in this Section 10 shall oblige any Facility Indemnified Party to disclose any information to any person regarding its affairs (Tax or otherwise) or Tax computations or interfere with the right of any Facility Indemnified Party to arrange its affairs (Tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit.

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Company (and its employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

26

of such Increased Costs.  Such certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of prima facie evidence of error.

(c)                                  Failure or delay on the part of any Facility Indemnified Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Facility Indemnified Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company will not be required to compensate a Facility Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12 for any Increased Costs incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Facility Indemnified Party notifies the Company of the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such Increase Costs and of such Facility Indemnified Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

PART 10
THE PARTIES

32.                               ROLE OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT

32.1                         Authorization and Action

(a)                                Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and the other Transaction Documents,

71

together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of Collateral Agent by the Secured Parties in this clause (a) includes the appointment of the Collateral Agent as representative (vertegenwoordiger/représentant) of the Secured Parties within the meaning of Article 5 of the Belgian Act of 15 December 2004 on financial collateral.

(b)                               Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent is empowered and authorized, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to create, hold and administer the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Security Documents. For avoidance of doubt, each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Security Documents and any other agreements or documents which are required to create Collateral or other security for and on behalf of the Secured Parties.

(c)                                The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against the Collateral Agent.

(d)                               The Collateral Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust (save as provided in the Transaction Documents) or agency with, any Transaction Party, the Lenders, the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

(e)                                Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or applicable Requirements of Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirements of Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

32.2                         Performance Of Obligations

(a)                                If the Master Servicer or the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Collateral Agent’s costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Company.

(b)                               The exercise by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties of their rights under this Agreement shall not release the Master Servicer or the Company from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Contracts or Transaction Documents. None of the Collateral Agent, the Funding Agents, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability

72

with respect to any Transaction Documents or Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of any Transaction Party thereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Company, the Contributor or the Master Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;

(b)                               makes any warranty or representation to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, the Lenders or other Secured Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, the Lenders or other Secured Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(c)                                shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to whether or not a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing nor to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement (including in particular whether any instructions of the Administrative Agent have been authorized by the Majority Lenders) or any other Transaction Document on the part of any Transaction Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Transaction Party;

(d)                               shall be responsible to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, the Lenders or other Secured Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and

(e)                                shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

32.4                         Indemnification of Collateral Agent

(a)                                Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Transaction Parties), rateably based on the Commitment of such Lender (or, if the Commitments have terminated, rateably according to

73

the respective Commitment of such Lender immediately prior to such termination), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action reasonably taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the express direction of the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) shall be deemed to constitute negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.

(b)                               Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for its rateable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company.

(c)                                The undertaking in this Section shall survive payment on the Final Payout Date and the resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent.

32.5                         Delegation of Duties

The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties through agents (including collection agents), employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

32.6                         Action or Inaction by Collateral Agent

The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive explicit instructions of the Administrative Agent and assurance of its indemnification by the Lenders, as it deems appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders or, if the Transaction Documents expressly specify that the relevant action requires the consent or direction of all the Funding Agents, all the Funding Agents), and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Funding Agents, all Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all other Secured

74

Parties. The Lenders, the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Collateral Agent under a Transaction Document:

(a)                                specifically requires the explicit instructions of the Administrative Agent; or

(b)                               specifically provides that it be taken by the Collateral Agent alone or without any explicit instructions of the Administrative Agent,

then the Collateral Agent may (and shall, to the extent required hereunder) take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders or, if the Transaction Documents expressly specify that the relevant action requires the consent or direction of all the Funding Agents, all the Funding Agents).

If the Collateral Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent.

(b)                               The Collateral Agent shall take such action concerning a Facility Event or any other matter hereunder as may be directed by the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders or, if the Transaction Documents expressly specify that the relevant action requires the consent or direction of all the Funding Agents, all the Funding Agents), (subject to the other provisions of this Section 32, but until the Collateral Agent receives such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Collateral Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.

32.8                         Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Parties

(a)                                The Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and Lenders expressly acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transaction Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

(b)                               Each Lender and Funding Agent represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any other Funding Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of each Transaction Party and the Receivables and its own

75

The Company (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Company) shall cause this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and any other relevant Transaction Document, all amendments thereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest to the Collateral to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent hereunder to all property comprising the Collateral.

36.17                   Successors and Assigns

(a)                                  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b)                                 Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (any such assignee shall be referred to herein as “Acquiring Lender”) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that:

(i)                                     the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Commitment Transfer Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than €10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment);

(ii)                                  the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent a Commitment Transfer Agreement, substantially in the form of Schedule 5, together

94

with, in the case of any assignment to a Person other than an Eligible Assignee (excluding clause (B) of the definition thereof), a processing and recordation fee payable to the Administrative Agent of $3,500;

(iii)                               the Acquiring Lender, if it shall not already be a Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, substantially in the form of Schedule 10 and

(iv)                              subject to the provisions of this section, unless a Termination Event has occurred and is outstanding, the consent of the Company (not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) is required for any assignment by a Lender; provided that it would not be unreasonable to withhold consent if such consent is withheld due to the credit worthiness of the Acquiring Lender or due to the need to limit the number of Acquiring Lenders. The Company will be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after a Lender has requested it unless consent has been expressly refused by the Company within such time.

Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause (iv) above, any Lender can assign all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to the Conduit Assignee of such Lender, which Conduit Assignee is rated at least “A-1” by S&P and at least “P-1” by Moody’s, without consent; provided that such assignment would not result in adverse tax consequences with respect to the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 10 or increased costs for the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the obligations of the Company or such Affiliate pursuant to Section 10, in which instance Company consent would be required (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 36.17(e), from and after the applicable Transfer Effective Date (A) the Acquiring Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Commitment Transfer Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to Commitment Transfer Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9, 10, 12, 14 and 36.12, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(c)                                  By executing and delivering a Commitment Transfer Agreement, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Acquiring Lender thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(i)                                     such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment and Loans being assigned, in each case
