Benefit of Agreement Assignments Participations (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that (i) no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders, (ii) although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Section 11.04(b)) and no participant shall constitute a “Lender” hereunder and (iii) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Commitment Commission thereon (except (I) in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (II) that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (x)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) securing the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Note (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Note) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may:
Modifications and Updates to the Wire Center List and Subsequent Transition Periods 5.4.6.1 In the event AT&T identifies additional wire centers that meet the criteria set forth in Sections 5.4.2.1 or 5.4.2.2 above, but that were not included in the Master List of Unimpaired Wire Centers or AT&T’s List of Unimpaired Wire Centers, AT&T shall include such additional wire centers in a CNL. Each such list of additional wire centers shall be considered a Subsequent Wire Center List. AT&T will follow any limitations on the frequency with which it may issue such lists and notification procedures set forth in applicable Commission orders.
5.4.6.2 TWTC shall have thirty (30) business days to dispute the additional wire centers listed on AT&T’s CNL. Absent such dispute, effective thirty (30) business days after the date of a AT&T CNL providing a Subsequent Wire Center List, AT&T shall not be required to provide DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport, as applicable, in such additional wire center(s), except pursuant to the self-certification process as set forth in Section 1.9.1 of this Attachment.
5.4.6.3 For purposes of Section 5.4.6.1 above, AT&T shall make available DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport that were in service for TWTC in a wire center on the Subsequent Wire Center List as of the thirtieth (30th) business day after the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List (Subsequent Embedded Base) until one hundred eighty (180) days after the thirtieth (30th) business day Version: 4Q06 Standard ICA 11/30/06 from the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List (Subsequent Transition Period).
5.4.6.4 The rates set forth in Exhibit B shall apply to the Subsequent Embedded Base during the Subsequent Transition Period.
5.4.6.5 No later than one hundred eighty (180) days from AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List, TWTC shall submit an LSR(s) or spreadsheet(s) as applicable, identifying the Subsequent Embedded Base of circuits to be disconnected or converted to other AT&T services.
5.4.6.5.1 In the case of disconnection, the applicable disconnect charges set forth in this Agreement shall apply.
5.4.6.5.2 If TWTC chooses to convert DS1 and/or DS3 Dedicated Transport to special access circuits in existence as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, AT&T will include such DS1 and/or DS3 Dedicated Transport within TWTC’s total special access circuits, and apply any discounts to which TWTC is entitled from the transition period of 3/11/2006 to the conversion date. Conversions will be subject to the switch-as-is charge set forth in Exhibit A to this Attachment 2.
5.4.6.5.3 AT&T shall not impose disconnect or nonrecurring installation charges when transitioning the Subsequent Embedded Base of DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport in existence as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
5.4.6.6 If TWTC fails to submit the LSR(s) or spreadsheet(s) for all of its Subsequent Embedded Base by one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List, AT&T will identify TWTC’s remaining Subsequent Embedded Base, if any, and will transition such circuits to the equivalent tariffed AT&T service(s), or in the case of Georgia, to the equivalent 271 service(s) set forth in Exhibit 1. In the states of Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi and South Carolina, those circuits identified and transitioned by AT&T shall be subject to the applicable disconnect charges as set forth in this Agreement and the full nonrecurring charges for installation of the equivalent tariffed AT&T service as set forth in AT&T’s tariffs. In the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, those circuits identified and transitioned by AT&T shall be subject to the applicable switch-as-is rates set forth in Exhibit A of Attachment
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.
