Assignment and Novation 34.1 The Supplier shall not assign, novate, or otherwise dispose of or create any trust in relation to any or all of its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Framework Agreement or any part of it without Approval.
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.

Assignment and Termination This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party except to successors to all or substantially all of the business of either the Consultant or the Company nor may this Agreement be terminated by either party for any reason whatsoever without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may not be arbitrarily withheld by the party whose consent is required.
Assignment and Change of Control a. Seller shall not and shall cause its affiliates not to, directly, indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, in each case, whether by transfer, operation of law, Change of Control (as defined in subparagraph b below) or otherwise assign this Contract, assign any of its rights or interest in this Contract, delegate any of its obligations under this Contract, or subcontract for all or substantially all of its performance of this Contract (each, an “Assignment”), without Buyer’s prior written consent after advance written notice by Seller. No purported Assignment, with or without Buyer’s consent, shall relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Contract or prejudice any rights or claims that Buyer may have against Seller, whether such obligations, rights or claims, as the case may be, arise before or after the date of any purported Assignment; provided however, that Seller may assign its right to monies due or to become due under this Contract, and this Article does not limit Seller’s ability to purchase standard commercial supplies or raw material in connection with its performance of this Contract.
b. For purposes of this Contract, the term “Change in Control” shall mean any of the following, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions and whether or not Seller is a party thereto:
Assignment Termination This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred in any manner by any party without the consent of all parties receiving or rendering services hereunder; provided that LPL may assign this Agreement upon consent of Client in accordance with the Advisers Act. In addition, LPL may add or replace the IAR servicing the Account without Client consent. This Agreement may be terminated by any party effective upon receipt of written notice to the other parties (“Termination Date”). LPL will deliver securities and funds held in the Account as instructed by Client unless Client requests that the Account be liquidated. LPL will initiate instructions to deliver funds and/or securities within two weeks of Client’s written request. If the Account is liquidated as a result of a termination notice, LPL will have a period of 72 hours to begin liquidations unless special circumstances apply. Proceeds will be payable to Client upon settlement of all transactions in the Account. Client will be entitled to a prorated refund of any pre-paid quarterly Account Fee based upon the number of days remaining in the quarter after the Termination Date. Client understands and agrees that after the Termination Date, the Account may be converted to a brokerage account at LPL. In a brokerage account, Client is charged a commission for each transaction and the IAR has no responsibility to provide ongoing investment advice. If this Agreement terminates, and the Account converts to a brokerage account, Client hereby authorizes and directs LPL to implement the insured cash account as the sweep option for the brokerage account, as discussed more fully below. If the Account is closed within the first six months by Client or as a result of withdrawals which bring the Account value below the required minimum, LPL reserves the right to retain the pre-paid quarterly Account Fee for the current quarter in order to cover the administrative cost of establishing the Account which may include costs to transfer positions into and out of the Account, data entry costs to open the Account, costs associated with reconciling of positions in order to issue quarterly performance information, and the cost of re-registering positions. In the case of an Account held by an individual, this Agreement shall terminate upon death of Client; provided, however, that LPL’s authority under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as LPL has been notified otherwise in writing by the authorized representative of Client or Client’s estate. Termination of the Agreement will not affect the liabilities or obligations of the parties from transactions initiated prior to termination.
Change of Control; Assignment and Subcontracting Except as set forth in this Section 7.5, neither party may assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 7.5, a direct or indirect change of control of Registry Operator or any subcontracting arrangement that relates to any Critical Function (as identified in Section 6 of Specification 10) for the TLD (a “Material Subcontracting Arrangement”) shall be deemed an assignment.
(a) Registry Operator must provide no less than thirty (30) calendar days advance notice to ICANN of any assignment or Material Subcontracting Arrangement, and any agreement to assign or subcontract any portion of the operations of the TLD (whether or not a Material Subcontracting Arrangement) must mandate compliance with all covenants, obligations and agreements by Registry Operator hereunder, and Registry Operator shall continue to be bound by such covenants, obligations and agreements. Registry Operator must also provide no less than thirty (30) calendar days advance notice to ICANN prior to the consummation of any transaction anticipated to result in a direct or indirect change of control of Registry Operator.
(b) Within thirty (30) calendar days of either such notification pursuant to Section 7.5(a), ICANN may request additional information from Registry Operator establishing (i) compliance with this Agreement and (ii) that the party acquiring such control or entering into such assignment or Material Subcontracting Arrangement (in any case, the “Contracting Party”) and the ultimate parent entity of the Contracting Party meets the ICANN-‐adopted specification or policy on registry operator criteria then in effect (including with respect to financial resources and operational and technical capabilities), in which case Registry Operator must supply the requested information within fifteen (15) calendar days.
(c) Registry Operator agrees that ICANN’s consent to any assignment, change of control or Material Subcontracting Arrangement will also be subject to background checks on any proposed Contracting Party (and such Contracting Party’s Affiliates).
(d) If ICANN fails to expressly provide or withhold its consent to any assignment, direct or indirect change of control of Registry Operator or any Material Subcontracting Arrangement within thirty (30) calendar days of ICANN’s receipt of notice of such transaction (or, if ICANN has requested additional information from Registry Operator as set forth above, thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of all requested written information regarding such transaction) from Registry Operator, ICANN shall be deemed to have consented to such transaction.
(e) In connection with any such assignment, change of control or Material Subcontracting Arrangement, Registry Operator shall comply with the Registry Transition Process.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any consummated change of control shall not be voidable by ICANN; provided, however, that, if ICANN reasonably determines to withhold its consent to such transaction, ICANN may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(g), (ii) ICANN may assign this Agreement without the consent of Registry Operator upon approval of the ICANN Board of Directors in conjunction with a reorganization, reconstitution or re-‐incorporation of ICANN upon such assignee’s express assumption of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) Registry Operator may assign this Agreement without the consent of ICANN directly to a wholly-‐owned subsidiary of Registry Operator, or, if Registry Operator is a wholly-‐owned subsidiary, to its direct parent or to another wholly-‐owned subsidiary of its direct parent, upon such subsidiary’s or parent’s, as applicable, express assumption of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iv) ICANN shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment, Material Subcontracting Arrangement or change of control transaction in which the Contracting Party is an existing operator of a generic top-‐level domain pursuant to a registry agreement between such Contracting Party and ICANN (provided that such Contracting Party is then in compliance with the terms and conditions of such registry agreement in all material respects), unless ICANN provides to Registry Operator a written objection to such transaction within ten (10) calendar days of ICANN’s receipt of notice of such transaction pursuant to this Section 7.5. Notwithstanding Section 7.5(a), in the event an assignment is made pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 7.5(f), the assigning party will provide the other party with prompt notice following any such assignment.
Term and Termination; Assignment; Amendment (a) This Agreement shall be effective for the duration of the Acquired Funds’ and the Acquiring Funds’ reliance on the Rule. While the terms of the Agreement shall only be applicable to investments in Acquired Funds made in reliance on the Rule, the Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated pursuant to Section 9(b). .
(b) This Agreement shall continue until terminated in writing by either party upon 60 days’ notice to the other party. Termination of this Agreement with respect to a particular Acquired Fund shall not terminate the Agreement as to other Acquired Funds that are parties hereto. Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to an Acquired Fund or at any time an Acquired Fund is designated as an Ineligible Fund, the Acquiring Fund may not purchase additional shares of the Acquired Fund beyond the Section 12(d)(1)(A) limits in reliance on the Rule. For purposes of clarity, upon termination of the Agreement with respect to an Acquired Fund or upon an Acquired Fund being designated as an Ineligible Fund, the Acquiring Fund shall not be required to reduce its holdings of the respective Acquired Fund.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, the obligations of an Acquiring Fund set forth in Section 1(a)(ii)(1) hereof shall survive and remain continuing obligations of the Acquiring Fund so long as the Acquiring Fund holds shares of an Acquired Fund that were acquired in reliance on the Rule and pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other.
(e) Other than as set forth in Sections 3(e), 6 and 7 above and Schedule B hereto, this Agreement may be amended only by a writing that is signed by each affected party.
(f) The Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds may file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC or any other regulatory body if required by applicable law.
(g) With respect to any Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund organized as a Massachusetts business trust or a series thereof (each such trust, a “Massachusetts Trust”), a copy of the Declaration of Trust of each Massachusetts Trust is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice is hereby given that this Agreement is executed on behalf of each Massachusetts Trust by an officer of the Trust in his or her capacity as an officer of the Trust and not individually and that no trustee, officer, employee, agent, employee or shareholder of a Massachusetts Trust shall have any personal liability under this Agreement.
Assignment and Benefit (a) This Agreement is personal to the Manager and shall not be assignable by the Manager, by operation of law, or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Company otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Manager’s heirs and legal representatives.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any subsidiary of the Company to which the Company may assign any of its rights hereunder; provided, however, that no assignment of this Agreement by the Company, by operation of law, or otherwise shall relieve it of its obligations hereunder except an assignment of this Agreement to, and its assumption by, a successor pursuant to subsection (c).
(c) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, but, irrespective of any such assignment or assumption, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon such a successor. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.
Renewal, Termination and Amendment This Agreement shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, until December 31, 2007 and shall continue in full force and effect for successive periods of one year thereafter, but only so long as each such continuance as to the Portfolio is specifically approved at least annually by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio or by vote of a majority of the Trust's Board of Trustees; and further provided that such continuance is also approved annually by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party. This Agreement may be terminated as to the Portfolio at any time, without payment of any penalty, by the Trust's Board of Trustees, by the Manager, or by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Adviser, or by the Adviser upon 90 days' prior written notice to the Manager, or upon such shorter notice as may be mutually agreed upon. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and immediately upon termination of the Management Agreement between the Manager and the Trust. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and immediately in the event of its assignment. The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have the meaning set forth for such terms in the 1940 Act. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Adviser and the Manager, subject to approval by the Trust's Board of Trustees and, if required by applicable SEC rules, regulations, or orders, a vote of a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities.
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.
Assignment and Modification This Agreement may be modified or assigned only by a writing signed by all of the parties.
