(iv) those required to be disclosed in the BEA Disclosure Schedule which are not so disclosed or which, if disclosed, Section 2.2(b)(iv) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule indicates that such obligation or liability will not be assumed;
(v) any liability or obligation from or relating to breach of any warranty or any misrepresentation by BEA under this Agreement or any Collateral Document;
(vi) any liability or obligation from or relating to breach or violation of, or failure to perform, any of BEA's obligations, covenants, agreements or undertakings set forth in this Agreement or any Collateral Document, including without limitation Article 5 of this Agreement;

(viii) any obligation or liability with respect to capitalized lease obligations or Indebtedness for Money Borrowed;
(ix) any Taxes, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid by BEA pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Collateral Document; and
(x) any Contract with any Affiliate of BEA, other than those, if any, set forth in Section 2(b)(x) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule. All BEA Nonassumed Obligations shall remain and be the obligations and liabilities solely of BEA.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule, all items of income and expense (including without limitation with respect to rent, utility charges, Pro Ratable Taxes and wages, salaries and accrued but unused vacation of BEA employees) arising from the ownership or operation of the BEA Assets or the conduct of the BEA Business shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, with BEA entitled to and responsible for any such items on or prior to the Closing Date and ATS entitled to and responsible for any such items relating to any subsequent period. For these purposes, Pro Ratable Taxes attributable to a period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be treated on a "closing of the books" basis as two partial periods, one ending at the close of the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date, except that Pro Ratable Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis. If either party shall have received any such revenues or paid any such expenses or charges which, pursuant to the terms hereof, the other party is entitled to or responsible for, it shall furnish the other party with a detailed statement of any such items as soon as practicable after receipt or payment thereof. The parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon such items and other adjustments prior to the Closing Date and, in any event, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule, within sixty (60) days thereafter.

The fees and other expenses of retaining such independent public accounting firm shall be borne equally by BEA and ATS. Such firm shall report its conclusions as to such items and other adjustments pursuant to this Section and such report shall be conclusive on all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or review. Upon such agreement or determination by such independent accounting firm, BEA or ATS, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse the other party for any income received or expenses paid by the other party and not previously reimbursed or any other adjustment required by this Section. Nothing contained in this Section 2.2(c) is intended or shall be deemed to amend or modify the indemnification provisions of Article 8 nor to reallocate responsibility for the matters set forth therein.
