Artikel 22

The Contractor agrees that at any time during the period of this contract, after reasonable notice to and consultation with the Contractor, the United States Government may transfer and assign all its rights, title and interest under this contract to SHAPE and that SHAPE may be substituted for the United States Government in this contract and may assume its responsibilities and liabilities hereunder. The Contractor further agrees to amend this contract in appropriate respects so as to give effect to the foregoing arrangement or alternatively to enter into a new contract with SHAPE which will accord SHAPE the same arrangements, rights and interest granted to the United States Government under this contract. It is agreed that all the provisions of this paragraph which apply to SHAPE shall be equally applicable to any other subsidiary body of NATO which may be substituted as successor to the United States.
