Nonassignable Contracts Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any lease, license agreement, Contract, agreement, sales order, purchase order, open bid or other commitment or Acquired Assets if an assignment or attempted assignment of the same without the consent of another Person would constitute a breach thereof or in any way impair the rights of Buyer or Seller thereunder. If any such consent is not obtained or if an attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair either Seller's or Buyer's rights under any such lease, license agreement, Contract, agreement, sales order, purchase order, open bid or other commitment or Acquired Assets so that Buyer would not receive all such rights, then (x) Seller shall use reasonable efforts (it being understood that such efforts shall not include any requirement of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to expend material sums of money or grant any material financial accommodation) to provide or cause to be provided to Buyer, to the extent permitted by law, the benefits of any such lease, license agreement, Contract, agreement, sales order, purchase order, open bid or other commitment or Acquired Assets and Seller shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to Buyer when received all moneys received by Seller with respect to any such lease, license agreement, contract, agreement, sales order, purchase order, open bid or other commitment or Acquired Assets and (y) in consideration thereof Buyer shall pay, perform and discharge on behalf of Seller all of Seller's debts, liabilities, obligations and commitments thereunder in a timely manner and in accordance with the terms thereof.
