Common use of Assignment by Vendor Clause in Contracts

Assignment by Vendor. Vendor will not assign all or any portion of its rights under or interests in this CTSA or delegate any of its duties without prior written consent of DIR. Any written request for assignment or delegation must be accompanied by written acceptance of the as- signment by the Assignee, in a form acceptable to DIR in its sole and absolute dis- cretion, and consent to same from DIR, in its sole and absolute discretion. Except where otherwise agreed in writing by DIR, assignment will not release Vendor from its obligations pursuant to this CTSA. The requirements of this Section 3.06(a) shall not apply in connection with Vendor's assignment to (i) any Affiliate, or (ii) any person acquiring all or substantially all the assets of Vendor or all or substantially all the as- sets of an Affiliate to which this CTSA, or any of this interests, rights and obligations of Vendor hereunder, previously has been assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vendor may, without DIR’s consent, assign or delegate in whole or relevant part, its rights and obligations under this CTSA to a third party work to be performed under this CTSA, but Vendor will in each such case remain financially responsible for the performance of such obligations.
