ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS CONTRACT. This Contract shall automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment; provided, however, in the event of consolidation or merger in which the Shareholder Servicer is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of substantially all the Shareholder Servicer's outstanding stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all the Shareholder Servicer's assets, the Shareholder Servicer may assign any such agreement to such surviving entity, acquiring entity, assignee or purchaser, as the case may be. This Contract shall not be amended unless such amendment is approved by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust or of the Shareholder Servicer.
