Assignment and Change of Control a. Seller shall not and shall cause its affiliates not to, directly, indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, in each case, whether by transfer, operation of law, Change of Control (as defined in subparagraph b below) or otherwise assign this Contract, assign any of its rights or interest in this Contract, delegate any of its obligations under this Contract, or subcontract for all or substantially all of its performance of this Contract (each, an “Assignment”), without Buyer’s prior written consent after advance written notice by Seller. No purported Assignment, with or without Buyer’s consent, shall relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Contract or prejudice any rights or claims that Buyer may have against Seller, whether such obligations, rights or claims, as the case may be, arise before or after the date of any purported Assignment; provided however, that Seller may assign its right to monies due or to become due under this Contract, and this Article does not limit Seller’s ability to purchase standard commercial supplies or raw material in connection with its performance of this Contract.
b. For purposes of this Contract, the term “Change in Control” shall mean any of the following, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions and whether or not Seller is a party thereto:
Change of Control; Assignment and Subcontracting Except as set forth in this Section 7.5, neither party may assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 7.5, a direct or indirect change of control of Registry Operator or any subcontracting arrangement that relates to any Critical Function (as identified in Section 6 of Specification 10) for the TLD (a “Material Subcontracting Arrangement”) shall be deemed an assignment.
(a) Registry Operator must provide no less than thirty (30) calendar days advance notice to ICANN of any assignment or Material Subcontracting Arrangement, and any agreement to assign or subcontract any portion of the operations of the TLD (whether or not a Material Subcontracting Arrangement) must mandate compliance with all covenants, obligations and agreements by Registry Operator hereunder, and Registry Operator shall continue to be bound by such covenants, obligations and agreements. Registry Operator must also provide no less than thirty (30) calendar days advance notice to ICANN prior to the consummation of any transaction anticipated to result in a direct or indirect change of control of Registry Operator.
(b) Within thirty (30) calendar days of either such notification pursuant to Section 7.5(a), ICANN may request additional information from Registry Operator establishing (i) compliance with this Agreement and (ii) that the party acquiring such control or entering into such assignment or Material Subcontracting Arrangement (in any case, the “Contracting Party”) and the ultimate parent entity of the Contracting Party meets the ICANN-‐adopted specification or policy on registry operator criteria then in effect (including with respect to financial resources and operational and technical capabilities), in which case Registry Operator must supply the requested information within fifteen (15) calendar days.
(c) Registry Operator agrees that ICANN’s consent to any assignment, change of control or Material Subcontracting Arrangement will also be subject to background checks on any proposed Contracting Party (and such Contracting Party’s Affiliates).
(d) If ICANN fails to expressly provide or withhold its consent to any assignment, direct or indirect change of control of Registry Operator or any Material Subcontracting Arrangement within thirty (30) calendar days of ICANN’s receipt of notice of such transaction (or, if ICANN has requested additional information from Registry Operator as set forth above, thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of all requested written information regarding such transaction) from Registry Operator, ICANN shall be deemed to have consented to such transaction.
(e) In connection with any such assignment, change of control or Material Subcontracting Arrangement, Registry Operator shall comply with the Registry Transition Process.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any consummated change of control shall not be voidable by ICANN; provided, however, that, if ICANN reasonably determines to withhold its consent to such transaction, ICANN may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(g), (ii) ICANN may assign this Agreement without the consent of Registry Operator upon approval of the ICANN Board of Directors in conjunction with a reorganization, reconstitution or re-‐incorporation of ICANN upon such assignee’s express assumption of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) Registry Operator may assign this Agreement without the consent of ICANN directly to a wholly-‐owned subsidiary of Registry Operator, or, if Registry Operator is a wholly-‐owned subsidiary, to its direct parent or to another wholly-‐owned subsidiary of its direct parent, upon such subsidiary’s or parent’s, as applicable, express assumption of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iv) ICANN shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment, Material Subcontracting Arrangement or change of control transaction in which the Contracting Party is an existing operator of a generic top-‐level domain pursuant to a registry agreement between such Contracting Party and ICANN (provided that such Contracting Party is then in compliance with the terms and conditions of such registry agreement in all material respects), unless ICANN provides to Registry Operator a written objection to such transaction within ten (10) calendar days of ICANN’s receipt of notice of such transaction pursuant to this Section 7.5. Notwithstanding Section 7.5(a), in the event an assignment is made pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 7.5(f), the assigning party will provide the other party with prompt notice following any such assignment.
Assignment; Change of Control 10.3.1 Except as provided in this Section 10.3, this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent of the other Party, such consent not be unreasonably withheld. Any permitted assignee under this Agreement shall assume in writing all assigned obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. All validly assigned rights of a Party shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and all validly assigned obligations of such Party shall be binding on and enforceable against, each permitted assignee of such Party; provided that such Party shall remain jointly and severally liable for the performance of the assigned obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this Section 10.3 shall be void.
10.3.2 Astellas may, without Ambit’s consent, assign this Agreement and all its rights and obligations hereunder in whole (but not in part) to an Astellas Affiliate, or to Astellas’s successor in interest (whether by acquisition, merger, reorganization, restructuring, asset purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business or assets to which this Agreement relates. In addition, Astellas may, without Ambit’s consent, perform any or all of its obligations and exercise any or all of its rights under this Agreement through any of Astellas’s Affiliates.
10.3.3 Ambit may, without Astellas’s consent, assign this Agreement and all its rights and obligations hereunder in whole (but not in part) to Ambit’s successor in interest (whether by acquisition, merger, reorganization, restructuring, asset purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business or assets to which this Agreement relates; provided, however, that Ambit shall notify Astellas promptly upon the completion of any such transaction. Further, upon any Change of Control of Ambit, Astellas shall have the right, at its sole discretion upon thirty (30) days prior written notice at any time within three (3) months after completion of such a Change of Control of Ambit, to exercise one or more of the following options:
(a) Terminate any existing Co-Promotion Option that has not been exercised prior to the date of such Astellas termination;
(b) Terminate any existing Co-Promotion Agreement, provided however that in the event of a termination of any applicable Co-Promotion Agreement existing as of the date of Astellas’s termination in accordance with this Section 10.3.3 based on a Change of Control of Ambit, the following shall apply from and after the effective date of such termination event(s):
(i) The applicable Product(s) shall no longer constitute a Co-Promoted Product(s) under this Agreement, except that (A) the Parties shall be required to pay to one another Co-Promotion Payments in accordance with Section 3.8.5 with the applicable financial terms and conditions of this Agreement applied for purposes of calculating such payments as if such Product(s) were a Co-Promoted Product(s) hereunder; and (B) such Product(s) shall continue to be treated as a Co-Promoted Product(s) for purposes of Article 7 (including for purposes of applying defined terms used in Article 7 to give effect to the provisions thereof);
(ii) Notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement to the contrary, Allowed Expenses for purposes of determining such Co-Promotion Payments shall be deemed to include any and all costs (internal and out-of-pocket), whether direct or indirect, incurred to build, maintain and operate Astellas’s, its Related Party’s or subcontractors’s sales force(s) in the U.S. for the Product(s) that was the subject of the Co-Promotion Agreement, and to use such sales force(s) to Promote the Product(s) in the U.S., including any such amounts incurred to provide, support and maintain sales force managers for such sales force(s);
(iii) Without limitation to the foregoing, for purposes of calculating Co-Promotion Payments, (A) any requirement that Allowed Expenses be incurred in accordance with any budget shall not apply, (B) Sections 3.8 and 3.9 shall have no further force or effect, and, for clarity, (x) Astellas shall not be under any obligations to prepare or present for Ambit’s review any Co-Promotion Plan, (y) the JCC shall be terminated, and (z) Astellas shall have no obligations to continue providing to Ambit information with respect to commercialization activities for the U.S., and (C) Astellas shall have sole control over all commercialization matters in the U.S., except that Astellas shall provide to Ambit summary reports each Calendar Quarter with respect to its commercialization activities in the U.S;
(iv) For clarity, nothing contained herein is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of Astellas’s obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize the applicable Product(s) in the U.S. as required pursuant to Section 3.6.1, or Ambit’s right to conduct audits pursuant to Section 4.6;
Assignment; Change in Control 19.1 Neither Party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or any rights, remedies, or obligations under this Agreement, (including by forward or reverse merger, consolidation, dissolution, or operation of law, and whether voluntarily or by a governmental authority’s action or order) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that either Party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any rights, remedies, or obligations under this Agreement without the other Party’s consent to: (i) an Affiliate; or (ii) an acquirer of all or substantially all of the equity interests, assets, or business to which this Agreement relates of the assigning Party (including by a merger, consolidation, or operation of law).
