34.2 The Authority may assign, novate or otherwise dispose of any or all of its rights, liabilities and obligations under this Framework Agreement or any part thereof to:
34.2.1 any Other Contracting Body; or
34.2.2 any Central Government Body or other body established by the Crown or under statute in order substantially to perform any of the functions that had previously been performed by the Authority; or
34.2.3 any private sector body which substantially performs the functions of the Authority, and the Supplier shall, at the Authority’s request, enter into a novation agreement in such form as the Authority shall reasonably specify in order to enable the Authority to exercise its rights pursuant to this Clause 34.2.
34.3 A change in the legal status of the Authority such that it ceases to be a Contracting Body shall not, subject to Clause 34.4 affect the validity of this Framework Agreement and this Framework Agreement shall be binding on any successor body to the Authority.
34.4 If the Authority assigns, novates or otherwise disposes of any of its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Framework Agreement to a body which is not a Contracting Body or if a body which is not a Contracting Body succeeds the Authority (both “Transferee” in the rest of this Clause) the right of termination of the Authority in Clause 30.4 (Termination on Insolvency) shall be available to the Supplier in the event of the insolvency of the Transferee (as if the references to Supplier in Clause 30.4 (Termination on Insolvency)) and to Supplier or Framework Guarantor or Call Off Guarantor in the definition of Insolvency Event were references to the Transferee.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUB-CONTRACTING The benefit and burden of this Contract may not be assigned or sub-contracted in whole or in part by the Contractor without the prior written consent of the Department. Such consent may be given subject to any conditions which the Department considers necessary. The Department may withdraw its consent to any sub-contractor where it no longer has reasonable grounds to approve of the sub-contractor or the sub-contracting arrangement and where these grounds have been presented in writing to the Contractor.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUB-LETTING Tenant shall not assign this Agreement, or sub-let or grant any license to use the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord. A consent by Landlord to one such assignment, sub-letting or license shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, sub-letting or license. An assignment, sub-letting or license without the prior written consent of Landlord or an assignment or sub-letting by operation of law shall be absolutely null and void and shall, at Landlord's option, terminate this Agreement.
Novation of Liabilities (a) Each Party, at the request of another Party, shall use best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under Contracts, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities for which a member of such Party’s Group and a member of another Party’s Group are jointly or severally liable and that do not constitute Liabilities of such other Party as provided in this Agreement (such other Party, the “Other Party”), or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements (other than any member of the Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement), so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such Consent, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party).
(b) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, release, substitution or amendment, the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Party, the Party or member of such Party’s Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause a member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Party’s Group thereunder from and after the Effective Time. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided, that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Other Party has engaged in any knowing violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation in connection therewith. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall promptly Transfer all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of any member of such Other Party’s Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall Assume such rights and Liabilities.
(c) If the Liable Party (i) suffers a downgrade to its senior debt credit rating to below BB (as rated by Standard & Poor’s) or (ii) no longer has its debt securities rated by any nationally recognized credit rating agencies, then, upon the demand of the Other Party, such Liable Party shall be required to post an irrevocable letter of credit or similar security obligation reasonably acceptable to the Other Party in an amount reasonably necessary to provide security to the Other Party for the Liable Party’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.9(b); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to Assumed Tyco Contingent Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the posting of such a letter of credit or similar security obligation shall in no event relieve the issuing Party’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.9(b), and shall not result in a cap or limitation on such Party’s Liabilities with respect thereto.
Assumption of Liabilities and Obligations (a) At the Closing, ATS shall assume and agree to pay, discharge and perform the following obligations and liabilities of BEA (collectively, the "BEA Assumed Obligations"): (i) all of the obligations and liabilities of BEA under the BEA Assumable Agreements, and (ii) all obligations and liabilities of BEA with respect to the ownership and operation of the BEA Assets and the conduct of the BEA Business, on and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, ATS shall not assume and agree to pay, and shall not be obligated with respect to, the BEA Nonassumed Obligations.
(b) ATS shall not assume or become obligated to perform any debt, liability or obligation of BEA relating to any of the following matters (collectively, the "BEA Nonassumed Obligations"):
(i) the ownership or operation of the BEA Assets or the conduct of the BEA Business prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation Taxes, unfunded pension costs, any Employment Arrangement of BEA (including without limitation any obligation to any BEA Employee for severance benefits, vacation time or sick leave), and any of the following to the extent same arise from Events occurring prior to or existing on the Closing Date: products liability, Legal Actions or other Claims, and obligations and liabilities relating to Environmental Law;
(ii) any obligations or liabilities under the BEA Assumable Agreements relating to the period prior to the Closing;
(iii) any insurance policies of BEA;
(iv) those required to be disclosed in the BEA Disclosure Schedule which are not so disclosed or which, if disclosed, Section 2.2(b)(iv) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule indicates that such obligation or liability will not be assumed;
(v) any liability or obligation from or relating to breach of any warranty or any misrepresentation by BEA under this Agreement or any Collateral Document;
(vi) any liability or obligation from or relating to breach or violation of, or failure to perform, any of BEA's obligations, covenants, agreements or undertakings set forth in this Agreement or any Collateral Document, including without limitation Article 5 of this Agreement;
(vii) any obligation or liability relating to any asset of BEA not included in the BEA Assets.
(viii) any obligation or liability with respect to capitalized lease obligations or Indebtedness for Money Borrowed;
(ix) any Taxes, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid by BEA pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Collateral Document; and
(x) any Contract with any Affiliate of BEA, other than those, if any, set forth in Section 2(b)(x) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule. All BEA Nonassumed Obligations shall remain and be the obligations and liabilities solely of BEA.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule, all items of income and expense (including without limitation with respect to rent, utility charges, Pro Ratable Taxes and wages, salaries and accrued but unused vacation of BEA employees) arising from the ownership or operation of the BEA Assets or the conduct of the BEA Business shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, with BEA entitled to and responsible for any such items on or prior to the Closing Date and ATS entitled to and responsible for any such items relating to any subsequent period. For these purposes, Pro Ratable Taxes attributable to a period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be treated on a "closing of the books" basis as two partial periods, one ending at the close of the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date, except that Pro Ratable Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis. If either party shall have received any such revenues or paid any such expenses or charges which, pursuant to the terms hereof, the other party is entitled to or responsible for, it shall furnish the other party with a detailed statement of any such items as soon as practicable after receipt or payment thereof. The parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon such items and other adjustments prior to the Closing Date and, in any event, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule, within sixty (60) days thereafter. If the parties are unable within such period to agree upon such items and other adjustments, BEA and ATS shall, within the following ten (10) days, jointly designate a nationally known independent public accounting firm to be retained to review such items and other adjustments. The fees and other expenses of retaining such independent public accounting firm shall be borne equally by BEA and ATS. Such firm shall report its conclusions as to such items and other adjustments pursuant to this Section and such report shall be conclusive on all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or review. Upon such agreement or determination by such independent accounting firm, BEA or ATS, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse the other party for any income received or expenses paid by the other party and not previously reimbursed or any other adjustment required by this Section. Nothing contained in this Section 2.2(c) is intended or shall be deemed to amend or modify the indemnification provisions of Article 8 nor to reallocate responsibility for the matters set forth therein.
