Shared Contracts (a) Except as set forth on Schedule VIII, the Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the third party to such Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that (a) a member of the SpinCo Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the SpinCo Business (the “SpinCo Portion”), which rights shall be a SpinCo Asset and which obligations shall be a SpinCo Liability, and (b) a member of the Nuance Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared Contract not relating to the SpinCo Business (the “Nuance Portion”), which rights shall be a Nuance Asset and which obligations shall be a Nuance Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of a Shared Contract unless and until any necessary Consents are obtained or made, as applicable. If the Parties, or their respective Group members, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to formally divide, partially assign, modify or replicate such Shared Contract prior to the Distribution as contemplated by the previous sentence, then the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members to, cooperate in any reasonable and permissible arrangement to provide that, following the Distribution, a member of the SpinCo Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the SpinCo Portion under such Shared Contract and a member of the Nuance Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the Nuance Portion under such Shared Contract, it being understood that no Party shall have Liability to the other Party for the failure of any third party to perform its obligations under any such Shared Contract.
Assumed Contracts If Buyer delivers a written notice of objection to any Assumed Contract prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, to the extent a termination right in favor of the applicable Seller is provided for in such Assumed Contract, or if such Assumed Contract does not prohibit termination, the applicable Seller shall instruct its Property Manager to promptly following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period provide a notice of termination to the vendor thereunder with respect to each such Assumed Contract to which Buyer has timely objected (collectively, the “Objectionable Contracts”); provided, however, that (i) Buyer may not object to any of the Cable Contracts or any other Assumed Contract marked “must assume” on Schedules 3.1(l)-1 through 3.1(l)-5 and shall assume the same at Closing pursuant to the applicable Assignment of Contracts; (ii) Seller shall have no obligation to terminate any Contract, which by its terms is not terminable or which cannot be terminated without payment of an express termination fee or penalty unless Buyer agrees in writing to pay such termination fee or penalty; (iii) if the termination of any Objectionable Contract cannot be made effective upon the Closing Date (Seller not being obligated to pay any money to accomplish such termination), then such Objectionable Contract shall be assumed by Buyer at Closing pursuant to the applicable Assignment of Contracts (together with all Assumed Contracts with respect to the applicable Asset that do not constitute Objectionable Contracts) for the remaining period of such Assumed Contract until its effective date of termination, and (iv) Buyer shall be responsible for any termination fees payable with respect to the termination of any Objectionable Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required or entitled to assume any Assumed Contract that, by its terms, may not be assigned to and assumed by Buyer without the consent of a third party, unless such third party’s written consent is actually obtained at or before the Closing. All Contracts that Buyer is required to assume hereunder are collectively referred to herein as the “Assumed Contracts”.
Assigned Contracts Each Credit Party will secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of Agent of any Assigned Contract and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder. Each Credit Party shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of its Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment. Such Credit Party shall notify Agent in writing, promptly after such Credit Party becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a material claim by it for indemnification under any of its Assigned Contracts. If an Event of Default then exists, Agent may, and at the direction of Required Lenders shall, directly enforce such right in its own or such Credit Party’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as Agent shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Agent under any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Credit Parities shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by such Credit Party of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Credit Parties to or in favor of such obligor or its successors, except for such expenses, damages or losses resulting from Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. All such obligations of the Credit Parties shall be and remain enforceable only against the Credit Parties and shall not be enforceable against Agent or Lender. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Credit Parties shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and Agent’s exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Credit Parties from any of such duties and obligations. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to perform or fulfill any of any Credit Party’s duties or obligations under its Assigned Contracts or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property.
