shall be entitled to the rights and shall be subject to the obligations of its

predecessor in title under this Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement by either

party or any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be made unless there first

shall have been obtained the consent thereto in writing of the other party, which

the benefit of the respective authorized successors and assigns.
