Any assignment by Sage not in accordance with this Section 10.14 shall be void. CyDex has the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, to any third party, either (y) without any requirement for consent of Sage; provided that (i) CyDex also assigns all of its right, title and interest in all operating assets, including without limitation, intellectual property rights, pertaining to its Captisol business to the same third party contemporaneous with the assignment of this Agreement, and (ii) if such assignment is (A) to an Affiliate, the assignor must guarantee the performance of any assignee to the terms and obligations of this Agreement or (B) to a Third Party successor, such successor shall agree for the express benefit of Sage to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (z) with the prior written consent of Sage, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
