SALE OF VARIABLE CONTRACTS Sample Clauses

The 'Sale of Variable Contracts' clause governs the terms and conditions under which variable insurance or annuity contracts may be offered and sold. It typically outlines the requirements for licensing, regulatory compliance, and disclosure obligations that must be met by parties involved in the sale of these financial products. For example, it may specify that only authorized representatives can sell variable contracts and that all marketing materials must comply with securities regulations. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the sale of variable contracts is conducted lawfully and transparently, thereby protecting both the seller and the purchaser from regulatory violations and misunderstandings.

  • Status of Contracts As of the date hereof, each of the Contracts listed in Section 5.13 of the Parent/Seller Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Material Contracts”) is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against Seller or such relevant Subsidiary and, to the Knowledge of Seller, any other party thereto in accordance with its terms, other than those Material Contracts the failure of which to be in full force and effect or valid and binding would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Business. Seller, the Asset Transferors and the Acquired Companies (in each case, solely with respect to the Business) are not in, or, to the Knowledge of Seller, alleged to be in, and to the Knowledge of Seller, no other party to any Material Contract is in or alleged to be in, breach or default under any of the Material Contracts other than such breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Business.

Seller has made available to Buyer correct and complete copies of each Material Contract (including all material modifications, amendments and supplements thereto) in effect as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be permitted to make available to Buyer correct and complete copies of Specified IP Contracts included in the Disclosure Letter Update within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, and the failure to have made such Specified IP Contracts available to Buyer on or prior to the date of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.14.

  • 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.
