For purposes of clarification and the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Liabilities assumed or retained by the EWS Group as provided for in this Section 2.01(a) are intended to be EWS Liabilities as such term is defined in the Separation Agreement, and (y) the Parties intend that such Liabilities assumed or retained by the EWS Group include the retirement benefits and health and welfare plan benefits under the EWS Benefit Plans for all EWS Employees, Former EWS Employees, their dependants, beneficiaries, alternate payees and surviving spouses.

Accordingly, as of the Time of Distribution, OpCo or another member of the OpCo Group hereby retains or assumes and agrees to pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) all Liabilities and rights arising under or related to the Pinnacle Plans and the OpCo Plans, (ii) all employment or service-related Liabilities (including Liabilities relating to terminations of employment or service and any deemed termination of employment or service) and rights with respect to (A) all OpCo Participants and (B) any individual who is, or was, an individual independent contractor, Director, temporary employee, temporary service worker, consultant, freelancer, agency employee, leased employee, on-call worker, incidental worker, or non-payroll worker or in any other employment or similar relationship primarily connected to Pinnacle, any of its Subsidiaries, OpCo or an OpCo Group member, (iii) all Liabilities resulting from any failure of Pinnacle or a Pinnacle Group member to take any action required by this Agreement to be taken prior to the Time of Distribution, and (iv) any other Liabilities expressly transferred to OpCo or an OpCo Group member under this Agreement.

Transfer of Assets and Liabilities On the Effective Date, the rights, privileges, powers and franchises, both of a public as well as of a private nature, of each of the Constituent Corporations shall be vested in and possessed by the Surviving Corporation, subject to all of the disabilities, duties and restrictions of or upon each of the Constituent Corporations; and all and singular rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all debts due to each of the Constituent Corporations on whatever account, and all things in action or belonging to each of the Constituent Corporations shall be transferred to and vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest, shall be thereafter the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the Constituent Corporations, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of the Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Merger; provided, however, that the liabilities of the Constituent Corporations and of their shareholders, directors and officers shall not be affected and all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of either of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and any claim existing or action or proceeding pending by or against either of the Constituent Corporations may be prosecuted to judgment as if the Merger had not taken place except as they may be modified with the consent of such creditors and all debts, liabilities and duties of or upon each of the Constituent Corporations shall attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if such debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.
Assumption and Satisfaction of Liabilities Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Distribution Date:
Assets and Liabilities of Series All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof (including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be), shall be held and accounted for separately from the assets of every other Series and are referred to as "assets belonging to" that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall belong only to that Series for all purposes, and to no other Series, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Series. Any assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more Series as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series for all purposes, and such assets, earnings, income, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds thereof shall be referred to as assets belonging to that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall be so recorded upon the books of the Trust, and shall be held by the Trustees in trust for the benefit of the Shareholders of that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall be charged with the liabilities of that Series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Series, except that liabilities and expenses allocated solely to a particular Class shall be borne by that Class. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series or Class shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees between or among any one or more of the Series or Classes in such manner as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series or Classes for all purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the right of the Trustees to allocate general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves as herein provided, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series only, and not against the assets of any other Series. Notice of this contractual limitation on liabilities among Series may, in the Trustees' discretion, be set forth in the certificate of trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Act, and upon the giving of such notice in the certificate of trust, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on liabilities among Series (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each Series. Any person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against any Series may look only to the assets of that Series to satisfy or enforce any debt, with respect to that Series. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series shall have a claim on or any right to any assets allocated or belonging to any other Series.
Assumption of Liabilities and Obligations (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 7, as of the Closing Date, Broadcasting shall assume and undertake to pay, discharge and perform all the obligations and liabilities of Seller relating to a Station under the Assumed Contracts relating to the time period beginning on or arising out of events occurring on or after the Closing Date. Subject to the LMA, all other obligations and liabilities of Seller, including, without limitation, (i) obligations or liabilities under any contract not included in the Assumed Contracts, (ii) obligations or liabilities under any Assumed Contract for which a consent to assignment, if required, has not been obtained as of the Closing Date, (iii) any obligations and liabilities arising under the Assumed Contracts that relate to the time period prior to the Closing Date and (iv) any forfeiture, claim or pending litigation or proceeding relating to the business or operations of any Station prior to the Closing Date, shall remain and be the obligation and liability solely of Seller. Other than as specified in the first sentence of this paragraph 4, Buyer, directly or indirectly, shall assume no liabilities or obligations of Seller and shall not be liable therefor. If Buyer is liable by operation of law for liabilities of Seller not expressly assumed by Buyer, then Seller shall not be liable to Buyer with respect to such liabilities unless and to the extent Seller is liable to Buyer under Seller's indemnification obligations under paragraph 18.
