Contracts and Agreements The agreements and documents described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement, that have not been so described or filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. None of such agreements or instruments has been assigned by the Company, and neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, performance by the Company of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets or businesses (each, a “Governmental Entity”), including, without limitation, those relating to environmental laws and regulations.
Contracts and Leases Schedule 4.10 sets forth a true and complete list of all Leases and executory Contracts of the Company that are material to the Business, and Sellers have delivered to Buyer true and complete copies of all such Leases and Contracts, each as amended as of the Agreement Date (the “Material Contracts”). Subject to receipt of the Necessary Consents and compliance with Section 6.10 and subject to the entry of the Sale Order, and any ancillary orders of the Bankruptcy Court pertaining to assumption and assignment of Contracts (a) each of the Material Contracts is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company or Sellers, and, to the Knowledge of Sellers, each other party thereto, and (b) except as a result of the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, the Company or Sellers are not in breach or default in any material respect under any of the Material Contracts and, to the Knowledge of Sellers, the other parties to such Contracts are not in breach or default in any material respect thereunder (and in each such case, to the Knowledge of Sellers, no event exists that with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute such material breach or default in any material respect, result in a loss of material rights, result in the payment of any damages or penalties or result in the creation of any Liens thereunder or pursuant thereto other than Permitted Liens); except (i) for those defaults that will be cured in accordance with the Sale Order, are not required to be cured pursuant to section 365(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, or waived in accordance with section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (ii) to the extent such breach or default would not reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect. Except for filings in the Chapter 11 Cases, to Sellers’ Knowledge, none of the Material Contracts have been cancelled or otherwise terminated by the Company or Sellers, and neither the Company nor Sellers have not delivered any written notice to any counterparty to such Material Contract regarding any such cancellation or termination by the Company or Sellers.
Assignment of Contracts and Rights Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Acquired Lease, Permit or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of any applicable third party (including any Governmental Entity), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof, a violation of Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser Sub (as assignee of the Company) or the Company (as applicable). Subject to Section 6.2, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Purchaser Sub as Purchaser Sub may request; provided, that any costs and expenses arising therefrom or in connection therewith should be borne by the Parties in accordance with Section 2.2(e). If, on the Closing Date (or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date), any such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective, a violation of Law or would adversely affect the rights of Purchaser Sub (as assignee of the Company) thereto or thereunder so that Purchaser Sub would not in fact receive all such rights, the Company and Purchaser Sub will, subject to Section 6.2(a), cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser Sub would, in compliance with Law, obtain the benefits and assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with the Purchased Asset, claim, right or benefit in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Purchaser Sub, or under which the Company would enforce, for the benefit of Purchaser Sub, and at the expense of Purchaser Sub, any and all of its rights against a third party thereto (including any Governmental Entity) associated with such Purchased Asset, claim, right or benefit, and the Company would promptly pay to Purchaser Sub when received all monies received by them under any Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder. To the extent that (i) any Acquired Leases cannot be assigned or transferred to Purchaser Sub as set forth in this Section 1.5 and (ii) Purchaser Sub requests that the Company subleases such Acquired Leases to Purchaser Sub, Purchaser Sub and the Company will enter into individual subleases for each of such Acquired Leases (as opposed to a “master” sublease covering all such Acquired Leases) on a fully net basis and on such terms as will generally confer to Purchaser Sub all of the Company’s rights under such Acquired Lease.
Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, and, to the extent permitted by the terms of the Leases, will cause the Operators of the Pool Properties to, comply in all respects with (i) all Applicable Laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted, including all Environmental Laws, (ii) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other charter documents and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (iv) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits required Applicable Laws for the conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where failure so to comply with either clause (i) or (v) would not result in the material non-compliance with the items described in such clauses. If any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or required in order that the Borrower, any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary will promptly take or cause to be taken all steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof. The Borrower shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act and shall promptly advise Agent in writing in the event that the Borrower shall determine that any investors in the Borrower are in violation of such act.
Permits and Licenses The Contractor shall observe and comply with all laws, rules, and regulations affecting services under this Agreement. The Contractor shall procure and keep in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement all permits and licenses necessary to accomplish the Work contemplated in this Agreement.
Material Contracts and Transactions Other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, there are no material contracts, agreements, licenses, permits, arrangements, commitments, instruments, understandings or contracts, whether written or oral, express or implied, contingent, fixed or otherwise, to which Pubco is a party except as disclosed in writing to Priveco or as disclosed in the Pubco SEC Documents.
Third-Party Agreements and Rights The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.
Covered Contracts and Contractors If the Contract exceeds $100,000 and the Contractor employed more than 40 full-time employees on a single working day during the previous 12 months in Minnesota or in the state where it has its principle place of business, then the Contractor must comply with the requirements of Minnesota Statute § 363A.36 and Minnesota Rule Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600. A Contractor covered by Minnesota Statute § 363A.36 because it employed more than 40 full-time employees in another state and does not have a certificate of compliance, must certify that it is in compliance with federal affirmative action requirements.
