If you had ever read a peering agreement,
I have; see this publicly available peering agreement [0], where in clause 9 we find the wording "Neither party shall assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party." In clause 5 we find the wording "If ... there are significant breaches of the conditions of this agreement, both parties reserve the right unilaterally to immediately terminate the agreement ..." See what lies under the points of ellipsis by reading the whole (2.5 page) agreement; it is succinct, clear, and a great model. Drifting off-topic; my participation in this thread terminated, unilaterally. [0] - http://www.vix.at/vix-aconet-pa.html (PDF)
