Any purported transfer in violation of this Section shall be void, The parties are acting for purposes of this Agreement through their respective branches or offices specified in Exhibit A.
The Seller shall not withhold its consent to an assignment or transfer proposed by the Buyer, or by any subsequent assignee or transferee of the Buyer, if the Seller would be entitled to make the payments it is required to make pursuant to Section 2 to the proposed assignee or transferee lawfully and without withholding for or on account of Taxes and the proposed assignee or transferee assumes the obligations of the Buyer under the Tax covenants (if any) of the Buyer in Exhibit B to this Agreement to the satisfaction of the Seller.

Part 3: Each reference in this Agreement to Dollars (the “Contractual Currency”) is of the essence. The obligation of each party in respect of any amount due under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency is, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the Contractual Currency that the intended payee may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in that other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day in New York City immediately following the day on which that payee receives the payment. If the amount in the Contractual Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the party owing that amount shall pay such additional amount, in the Contractual Currency, as is necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of that party not discharged by that payment shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect.
