Assignment of Contracts and Rights Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Acquired Lease, Permit or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of any applicable third party (including any Governmental Entity), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof, a violation of Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser Sub (as assignee of the Company) or the Company (as applicable). Subject to Section 6.2, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Purchaser Sub as Purchaser Sub may request; provided, that any costs and expenses arising therefrom or in connection therewith should be borne by the Parties in accordance with Section 2.2(e). If, on the Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date), any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective, a violation of Law or would adversely affect the rights of Purchaser Sub (as assignee of the Company) thereto or thereunder so that Purchaser Sub would not in fact receive all such rights, the Company and Purchaser Sub will, subject to Section 6.2(a), cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser Sub would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with the Purchased Asset, claim, right or benefit in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Purchaser Sub, or under which the Company would enforce, for the benefit of Purchaser Sub, and at the expense of Purchaser Sub, any and all of its rights against a third party thereto (including any Governmental Entity) associated with such Purchased Asset, claim, right or benefit, and the Company would promptly pay to Purchaser Sub when received all monies received by them under any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder. To the extent that (i) any Acquired Leases cannot be assigned or transferred to Purchaser Sub as set forth in this Section 1.5 and (ii) Purchaser Sub requests that the Company subleases such Acquired Leases to Purchaser Sub, Purchaser Sub and the Company will enter into individual subleases for each of such Acquired Leases (as opposed to a “master” sublease covering all such Acquired Leases) on a fully net basis and on such terms as will generally confer to Purchaser Sub all of the Company’s rights under such Acquired Lease.
