Common use of Assignment or Transfer of Agreement Clause in Contracts

Assignment or Transfer of Agreement. 7.1.1 CLEC may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement, voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, whether by merger, consolidation, dissolution, operation of law, Change in Control or any other manner, without the prior written consent of AT&T-21STATE. For any proposed assignment or transfer CLEC shall provide AT&T-21STATE with a minimum of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days advance written Notice of any assignment associated with a CLEC Company Code (ACNA/CIC/OCN) change or transfer of ownership of assets and request AT&T-21STATE’s written consent. CLEC’s written Notice shall include the anticipated effective date of the assignment or transfer. Any attempted assignment or transfer that is not permitted is void as to AT&T-21STATE and need not be recognized by AT&T-21STATE unless it consents or otherwise chooses to do so for a more limited purpose. CLEC may assign or transfer this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to an Affiliate by providing sixty (60) calendar days advance written Notice of such assignment to AT&T-21STATE; provided that such assignment or transfer is not inconsistent with Applicable Law (including the Affiliate’s obligation to obtain and maintain proper Commission certification and approvals) or the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CLEC may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, to an Affiliate if that Affiliate is a Party to a separate interconnection agreement with AT&T-21STATE under Sections 251 and 252 of the Act that covers the same state(s) as this Agreement. Any attempted assignment or transfer that is not permitted is void ab initio.
