Contracts and Agreements The agreements and documents described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement, that have not been so described or filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. None of such agreements or instruments has been assigned by the Company, and neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, performance by the Company of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets or businesses (each, a “Governmental Entity”), including, without limitation, those relating to environmental laws and regulations.

Except as set forth in Section 1.7, no consents are necessary for the effective assignment to and assumption by Purchaser of any of the Assumed Contracts including but not limited to the lease on the Premises. Seller has furnished or made available to Purchaser true and complete copies of all Assumed Contracts and descriptions of all material terms of Assumed Contracts that are not in writing, including any amendments, waivers or other changes thereto.
Prior Contracts This Contract supersedes and terminates, as of the date hereof, all prior contracts between the Fund and the Custodian relating to the custody of the Fund's assets.
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.
