16.3 Neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer this TLA or any of its rights and obligations hereunder whether in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld. Either party shall submit any request for consent to assign in writing and the other party shall after considering such request in good faith provide consent or refusal within ten (10) working days of receipt of such request. The recipient of a request to assign acknowledges that the existence and content of such a request is highly sensitive information and shall be treated as Confidential Information and may be disclosed only to those persons who need to know for the purposes of providing consent to it. An assignment shall be deemed to include, without limitation; (i) any transaction or series of transactions whereby a third party acquires, directly or indirectly, the power to control the management and policies of the party, whether through the acquisition of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; or (ii) the sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of the party’s assets whether in a single transaction or series of transactions.
