Borrower agrees not to transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any right or interest in any payment or advance due pursuant to this Loan Agreement, or any of the other benefits of this Loan Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lender. Any assignment made or attempted by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender shall be void. No consent by Lender to an assignment by Borrower shall release Borrower as the party primarily obligated and liable under the terms of this Loan Agreement unless Borrower shall be released specifically by Lender in writing. No consent by Lender to an assignment shall be deemed to be a waiver of the requirement of prior written consent by Lender with respect to each and every further assignment and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such assignment.
