The Administrative Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Credit Party, a holder of other Indebtedness of a Credit Party or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to a Person that would be a Non-Funding or Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. In no event shall any Lender Sell any Loan or Commitment to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and any such purported Sale shall be null and void.
SUBLICENSING AND ASSIGNMENT Controlled Affiliate shall not, directly or indirectly, sublicense, transfer, hypothecate, sell, encumber or mortgage, by operation of law or otherwise, the rights granted hereunder and any such act shall be voidable at the sole option of Plan or BCBSA.

Sublicense SONY shall be permitted to sublicense the rights ---------- granted in Section
2.1 only to:
(a) wholly-owned subsidiaries of SONY; provided that SONY shall promptly notify LEXAR in writing of sublicenses granted to subsidiaries and SONY shall acknowledge responsibility for such subsidiary's compliance with the terms of this Lexar Technology License Agreement; and
(b) any parties for the manufacture, use, offer for sale, import and sale of Host Devices and any components of Host Devices, provided that such third parties shall only be sublicensed under LEXAR Intellectual Property Rights for that portion of a Host Device or of any component of a Host Device that communicates directly with a Licensed Memory Stick. SONY's sublicense rights under this Section 2.2(b) shall be contingent upon SONY entering into a written agreement with each sublicensee in the form of Exhibit C. SONY will provide LEXAR with a copy of each such --------- sublicense agreement immediately after execution thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as permitting SONY to reveal LEXAR Confidential Information, as such term is defined in Section 6, to sublicensees under this Section 2.2(b). In the event that SONY determines that the Memory Stick Specification contains LEXAR Confidential Information, LEXAR and SONY agree to negotiate in good faith additional specific provisions to the form sublicensee agreement to sufficiently protect LEXAR's Confidential Information. LEXAR and SONY acknowledge that in the course of these negotiations, the parties' mutual interest in making the Host Device manufacturing license available as broadly as possible should be weighed against the importance of protecting LEXAR's Confidential Information. Sublicensees under this Section 2.2 shall not have the right to sublicense the rights granted under this agreement. * Material has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.
