A declaration

3 and 8 of the said contract and as such wrongful, unlawful null and void.<o:p></o:p>(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration
that the contract dated the 10th day of April 2015 and executed
between Plaintiff and 1st defendant with obligations on both parties
and 2nd defendant herein to perform, is valid, binding and
subsisting.<o:p></o:p>(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order setting

A declaration
that by virtue of the contract of 10th April, 2015, Defendants are
forbidden from assigning the benefit and obligations or any part thereof due
and to be undertaken to and by Plaintiff under the Agreement to any third party
