Except as stated under Section 6(b)(ii), provided that to the extent Party A makes a transfer pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) it will provide a prior written notice to the Rating Agencies of such transfer, neither Party A nor Party B is permitted to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise) as a whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under this Agreement or any Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that (i) Party A may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of substantially all of its assets to, another entity, or an incorporation, reincorporation or reconstitution, and (ii) Party A may transfer this Agreement to any Person that is an office, branch or affiliate of Party A (any such Person, office, branch or affiliate, a Transferee) on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to Party B; provided that, with respect to clause (ii), (A) as of the date of such transfer the Transferee will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of a Tax from any payments under this Agreement unless the Transferee will be required to make payments of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of this Agreement in respect of such Tax; (B) a Termination Event or Event of Default does not occur under this Agreement as a result of such transfer; (C) such notice is accompanied by a written instrument pursuant to which the Transferee acquires and assumes the rights and obligations of Party A so transferred; and (D) Party A will be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with such transfer.

Except as specified otherwise in the documentation evidencing a transfer, a transfer of all the obligations of Party A made in compliance with this Section 7 will constitute an acceptance and assumption of such obligations (and any related interests so transferred) by the Transferee, a novation of the transferee in place of Party A with respect to such obligations (and any related interests so transferred), and a release and discharge by Party B of Party A from, and an agreement by Party B not to make any claim for payment, liability, or otherwise against Party A with respect to, such obligations from and after the effective date of the transfer.

(ii)
If an Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer (which means an offer that will become legally binding upon acceptance by Party B) to be the transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Party B shall, at Party A's written request and at Party A's expense, take any reasonable steps required to be taken by Party B to effect such transfer.

(u)
Escrow Payments.

The Appointing Party shall cause the escrow arrangements to provide that the other party shall be entitled to interest on any payment due to be deposited first for each day in the period of its deposit at the rate offered by the escrow agent for that day for overnight deposits in the relevant currency in the office where it holds that deposited payment (at 11.00 a.m. local time on that day) if that payment is not released by to the other party 5.00 p.m. local time on the date it is deposited for any reason other than the intended recipient's failure to make the escrow deposit it is required to make under this paragraph in a timely fashion.
