Title Objections Seller shall request Escrow Agent to cause to be delivered to Buyer a preliminary title report (the "Preliminary Report") from a title company affiliated with the Escrow Agent (the "Title Company"), showing the status of Seller’s title to the Property, together with complete and legible copies of all documents shown therein as exceptions to title ("Exceptions"). Buyer shall have until the date that is five (5) days after the Title Company delivers the Preliminary Report and Exceptions to Buyer within which to give notice in writing to Seller of any objection to such title or to any liens or encumbrances affecting the Property. Within five (5) days after receipt of such notice from Buyer, Seller shall give Buyer written notice of whether it is willing and able to remove the objected-to Exceptions. Without the need for objection by Buyer, Seller shall, with respect to liens and encumbrances that can be satisfied and released by the payment of money, eliminate such exceptions to title on or before Closing. Within five (5) days after receipt of such notice from Seller (the "Title Contingency Date"), Buyer shall elect whether to: (i) purchase the Property subject to those objected-to Exceptions which Seller is not willing or able to remove; or (ii) terminate this Agreement. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of Buyer’s election, then such inaction shall be deemed to be Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement. On or before the Closing Date (defined below), Seller shall remove all Exceptions to which Buyer objects and which Seller agrees, or is deemed to have agreed, Seller is willing and able to remove. All remaining Exceptions set forth in the Preliminary Report and those Exceptions caused by or agreed to by Buyer shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions."
Assumed Liabilities Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge only the following Liabilities of Seller (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”), and no other Liabilities:
Response to Objections Each Party retains the right to respond to any objection raised by a Participating Class Member, including the right to file responsive documents in Court no later than five court days prior to the Final Approval Hearing, or as otherwise ordered or accepted by the Court.
Assumed Obligations At the Closing, Buyer shall assume, and shall agree to satisfy and discharge as the same shall become due, the Seller’s obligations and liabilities first arising subsequent to the Closing (excluding any obligations or liabilities that relate to the period preceding the Closing, including, without limitation, obligations or liabilities arising or accruing with respect to any default or breach by the Seller prior to the Closing) under such of the Contracts as are set forth on Schedule 2.2.2 (collectively, the “Assumed Obligations”). Except for the Assumed Obligations, Buyer shall not assume or be responsible at any time for any liability, obligation, Indebtedness or commitment of the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member, whether absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, or otherwise (such liabilities, obligations, Indebtedness and commitments, other than the Assumed Obligations, collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”), including but not limited to any liabilities, obligations, debts or commitments of the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member incident to, arising out of or incurred with respect to, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or the Other Acquisition (including any and all sales or use, income or other Taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby). The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member expressly acknowledge and agree that, except for the Assumed Obligations, the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member shall retain, as applicable, and Buyer shall not assume or otherwise be obligated to pay, perform, defend or discharge, (i) any liability of the Seller and/or the Owner for Taxes, including without limitation, (A) any and all liabilities for Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Obligations with respect to all periods prior to and including the Closing Date (including any Taxes that are the liability of the Seller pursuant to Section 5.4), (B) any and all liabilities for Taxes of the Seller and/or the Owner for any period, and (C) any and all Tax liabilities that are incurred or become payable as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including but not limited to any transfer, documentary, sales, use, and other Taxes assessed upon or with respect to the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, and any recording or filing fees with respect thereto) (collectively, “Seller Taxes”), (ii) any liability of the Seller and/or the Owner in connection with any employee benefits, (iii) any liability of the Seller and/or the Owner under any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, program, permit, or other legal requirement relating to health, safety, hazardous substances and environmental matters applicable to the Business and/or the facilities used by the Seller (whether or not owned by the Seller), (iv) any liability pertaining to services provided by the Seller prior to the Closing Date, or insurance related matters, (v) any liabilities and obligations of the Seller with respect to the Excluded Assets, (vi) any liabilities arising under or in connection with an Employee Plan, or (vii) any other liabilities arising prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the Seller Note Payable), regardless of whether such liabilities are disclosed on the Schedules to this Agreement. The Seller and the Owner further agree to satisfy and discharge, as the same shall become due, all Excluded Liabilities. Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Obligations shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of third parties against Buyer as compared to the rights and remedies which such parties would have had against the Seller or the Owner had this Agreement not been consummated.
Retained Liabilities The Retained Liabilities shall remain the sole responsibility of and shall be retained, paid, performed and discharged solely by Seller. “Retained Liabilities” shall mean every Liability of Seller other than the Assumed Liabilities, including:
Excluded Liabilities Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03 or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not assume and shall not be responsible to pay, perform or discharge any Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates of any kind or nature whatsoever other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Excluded Liabilities”). Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, pay and satisfy in due course all Excluded Liabilities which they are obligated to pay and satisfy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Excluded Liabilities shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
Title Defects If: (i) the Title Commitment reflects any exceptions to title which are not acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion; (ii) the Survey discloses any state of fact not acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion; or (iii) at any time prior to the Closing, title to the Property is encumbered by any exception to title not acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion (with any such exception or unacceptable state of fact being referred to herein as a “Title Defect”); then Buyer may, on or before the Satisfaction Date (or, in the case of a Title Defect not disclosed by the Title Commitment prior to the Satisfaction Date, within fifteen (15) days after Buyer receives notice of such Title Defect), provide Seller with written notice of such Title Defect. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as specifically set forth below), during the thirty (30) day period after receipt of such notice, but not later than the Closing, to remove such Title Defect or obtain affirmative title insurance coverage acceptable to Buyer, insuring and defending Buyer against any loss, cost, or expense arising out of or related to such Title Defect (“Affirmative Coverage”). If Seller elects to do so, then on or before the Closing Date (as defined below), Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable evidence of such removal or provide reasonable evidence that such Title Defect will be removed or that such Affirmative Coverage will be obtained. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to expend whatever sums are required to cure or obtain Affirmative Coverage for the following Title Defects prior to, or at, the Closing:
Religious Objection Any employee who is a member of and adheres to established and traditional tenets or teachings of a bona fide religion, body, or sect which has historically held conscientious objections to joining or financially supporting labor organizations shall not be required to join or financially support the Union as a condition of employment. Such an employee shall, in lieu of dues and fees, pay sums equal to such dues and fees to a non-religious charitable fund. These religious objections and decisions as to which fund will be used must be documented and declared in writing to the Union. Any employee exercising their right of religious objection must provide the Union with a receipt of payment to an appropriate charity on a monthly basis.
Notice of Objection Contractor may object to any action taken by NYSERDA pursuant to this Exhibit that prevents the commencement of the time in which interest will be paid by submitting a written notice of objection to NYSERDA. Such notice shall be signed and dated and concisely and clearly set forth the basis for the objection and be addressed to the Vice President, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, at the notice address set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement. The Vice President of NYSERDA, or his or her designee, shall review the objection for purposes of affirming or modifying NYSERDA‘s action. Within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of the objection, the Vice President, or his or her designee, shall notify the Contractor either that NYSERDA‘s action is affirmed or that it is modified or that, due to the complexity of the issue, additional time is needed to conduct the review; provided, however, in no event shall the extended review period exceed thirty (30) working days.
Religious Objections Any employee who is a member of a bonafide religion, body, or sect which has historically held conscientious objections to joining or financially supporting public employee organizations shall not be required to join or financially support the organization. Such employee shall, in lieu of periodic dues or agency shop fees, pay sums equal to said amounts to a non-religious, non-labor charitable fund exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which has been selected by the employee from a list of such funds designated by the parties hereto in a separate agreement. Such payments shall be made by payroll deduction as a condition of continued exemption from the requirements of financial support to the Union and as a condition of continued employment.
