Assignment. This Agreement, and the rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be assigned or transferred by either Party, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that, without consent of the other Party, either Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates if such Party guarantees the performance of this Agreement by such Affiliate; and provided further that, without consent of the other Party, either Party may assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of the assets or business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other similar transaction. Any assignment in violation of this provision is void and without effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their permitted successors, legal representatives and assigns. In the event that Abmuno assigns or transfers any of the Licensed IP to a Third Party, Abmuno shall impose on such assignee or transferee such obligations as are necessary so that Arcus retains and obtains all of the rights to which it is entitled with respect to such Licensed IP under this Agreement.
