commitment, or other agreement or permit, license or authorization which is by
law or its terms nonassignable or the assignment of which would constitute a
violation of statute, rule, regulation, contract, commitment or other

agreement. If, as of the Effective Date, an attempted assignment of any

Bank shall cooperate with BAMS in a mutually acceptable arrangement, at BAMS'
cost, to provide for BAMS the benefit (including the economic benefit) of such
contract, commitment or other agreement (other than legal title). If and so long

(a) to the extent that such action will not result in a violation of such
contract, commitment or other agreement, transfer to BAMS all assets and rights,
including all monies, received in respect of such contract and hold such
contract, commitment or other agreement in trust for BAMS and (b) to the extent
that the provisions of clause (a) above are not sufficient to transfer all of
the benefits (including the economic benefit) of such contract, commitment or
other agreement (other than legal title), or any of such contract, commitment or
other agreement has been canceled as a result of the attempted assignment, take
such actions (which, without limitation, may include entering into
subcontracting arrangements with BAMS, but in no event shall Bank be obligated
to enter into a commercially unreasonable arrangement) as are necessary to
provide all of the benefits (or the equivalent thereof, including the economic
benefit) of such contract, commitment or other agreement (other than legal
title) to BAMS. BAMS shall obtain, at its own expense, as of the Effective Date
or as soon thereafter as practicable, all permits, licenses or authorizations
required by any governmental agency with respect to the Taiwan Business and the
Hong Kong Administrative Office or the Assets without any guaranty or liability
of Bank with respect thereto, except for those permits, licenses or
authorizations which can be assigned by Bank at the Closing without the consent
of any third party. Subsequent to the Closing, Bank shall have the right to
cancel any permits, licenses or authorizations and bonds or guarantees related
thereto which are applicable to the Taiwan Business and the Hong Kong
Administrative Office or the Assets but are unable to be assigned within 90 days
from the Closing. BAMS shall reimburse Bank for any and all costs associated
with the assignment or failure to cancel any such non-assignable contracts,
commitments or other agreements (including, without limitation, the costs of
providing to BAMS the benefits thereunder) or permits, licenses or
authorizations.
Section 7.2 Conduct of Litigation. BAMS and Bank shall cooperate
---------------------
fully in the prosecution or defense of any action, proceeding or claim arising
out of or relating to the Retained Liabilities, on the one hand, and the Assumed
Liabilities, on the other hand, and shall consult and confer with one another
with respect thereto, at no cost to BAMS, on the one hand, or Bank, on the other
hand.
