Regulatory Consents The waiting period applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the HSR Act shall have expired or been earlier terminated.
Approvals and Notifications (a) From and after the Time of Distribution, to the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Asset, the assumption of any Liability, the Reorganization or the Distribution requires any Approvals or Notifications (the “Required Approvals”), the parties will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment of any Assets or assumption of any Liabilities would be a violation of applicable Law or require any Approvals or Notifications in connection with the Reorganization, or the Distribution, that has not been obtained or made by the Time of Distribution then, unless the parties hereto mutually shall otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment of such Assets or the assumption of such Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made; provided, however, that if such legal impediments are not removed, or such Approvals or Notifications are not obtained or made, in each case by the second (2nd) anniversary of the Distribution Date, then, unless the parties hereto mutually shall otherwise determine, all Assets and Liabilities that are held by any member of the Pinnacle Group or the OpCo Group, as the case may be, will be retained by such party indefinitely, and the parties shall execute mutually acceptable documentation to such effect in accordance with applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the funds to be transferred to OpCo pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(vi) shall be transferred to OpCo as soon as reasonably practicable following any distribution or distributions, as the case may be, of any such funds to Pinnacle.
(c) If any transfer or assignment of any Asset or any assumption of any Liability intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Distribution Date, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.6(b) or for any other reason, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the party retaining such Asset or such Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the expense of such party entitled thereto) until such Asset or Liability is transferred to the party entitled thereto or until such Asset or Liability is retained by the other party pursuant to Section 2.6(b), whichever is sooner. In addition, for such period, the member of the party retaining such Asset or such Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the party to whom such Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such party in a substantially similar position as if such Asset or Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, is to inure from and after the Time of Distribution to such party.
(d) If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(b), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Asset or the assumption of any Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Asset or the assumption of the applicable Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and/or the applicable Transaction Document.
(e) Any party retaining an Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing and unless the parties have executed documentation providing for such asset or liability to be retained by such party pursuant to Section 2.6(b), to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by the party entitled to the Asset or Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by such party entitled to such Asset or Liability.
(f) To the extent any Pinnacle Asset intended to be subject to the Master Lease is transferred to or retained by a member of the OpCo Group pursuant to this Section 2.6, the rent payable under the Master Lease and the other obligations of the tenant under the Master Lease with respect to such Pinnacle Asset shall not be impacted by the transfer or retention of such Pinnacle Asset to a member of the OpCo Group (and such rent and other obligations shall be determined as if such Pinnacle Asset had been transferred or assigned to Pinnacle or a member of the Pinnacle Group); provided, that if such Pinnacle Asset is not transferred or assigned back to Pinnacle or a member of the Pinnacle Group by the second (2nd) anniversary of the Distribution Date, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to an alternative arrangement to place the parties in substantially equivalent economic circumstances with respect to the benefits and burdens of ownership of such Pinnacle Asset as if such Pinnacle Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 2.1(d), this Section 2.6 and Section 2.7 shall continue indefinitely (and shall not terminate on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Time of Distribution) with respect to any Assets or Liability associated with the leases specified on Schedule 2.6(g), the transfer of which has been deferred pursuant to this Section 2.6.
