Unassignable Assets Clause Samples
The Unassignable Assets clause defines how assets that cannot be legally or contractually transferred from one party to another are handled in a transaction. In practice, this clause typically requires the seller to assist the buyer in obtaining necessary consents or approvals to transfer such assets, or to provide the buyer with the benefits of those assets through alternative arrangements if transfer is not possible. Its core function is to address and mitigate the risk that certain key assets may not be assignable, ensuring the buyer still receives the intended value from the transaction.
