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.
