• Duty Obligations and Liabilities (a) The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent to exercise any such powers. The Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related Persons shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. In addition, the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the Agent in good faith.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall retain, and that Purchaser shall not assume or otherwise be obligated to pay, perform, defend or discharge, (a) any liability of Seller for Taxes, whether measured by income or otherwise, (b) any product liability pertaining to products sold by Seller prior to the Closing Date, (c) any liability or obligation of Seller relating to any default taking place before the Closing Date under any of the Assumed Obligations to the extent such default created or increased the liability or obligation, (d) any obligation of Seller to its shareholders, any Affiliate of Seller or its shareholders, or any Person claiming to have a right to acquire any capital stock or other securities of Seller, or (e) the Distribution Agreement by and between KMS and Seller effective as of September 26, 2002, together with any and all liabilities or obligations (including professional fees) arising out of or relating thereto or to any prior or subsequent agreements between the parties.
