SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS; MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS The Company has delivered to TCI an accurate list (which is set forth on Schedule 5.15) of all customers (persons or entities) representing 1% or more of the Company's annual revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997; provided, however, that Schedule 5.15 need not set forth more than the Company's 20 largest customers during such period. Except to the extent set forth on Schedule 5.15, none of such customers have canceled or substantially reduced or, to the knowledge of the Stockholders, are currently attempting or threatening to cancel a contract or substantially reduce utilization of the services provided by the Company. The Company has listed on Schedule 5.15 all Material Contracts (as defined below) to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, other than agreements listed on Schedules 5.10, 5.14 or 5.16, (a) in existence as of the Balance Sheet Date and (b) entered into since the Balance Sheet Date, and in each case has delivered true, complete and correct copies of such agreements to TCI. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Material Contracts" includes contracts between the Company and significant customers (as described above), joint venture or partnership agreements, contracts with any labor organization, strategic alliances, options to purchase land and other contracts which are not terminable on sixty days or less notice and involve payments by the Company in any twelve-month period in excess of $25,000. The Company has also indicated on Schedule 5.15 a summary description of all plans or projects involving the opening of new operations, expansion of existing operations, the acquisition of any personal property, business or assets requiring, in any event, the payment of more than $25,000 by the Company during any 12- month period. To the knowledge of the Stockholders, all of the Material Contracts are in full force and effect and constitute valid and binding agreements of the parties (and their successors) thereto in accordance with their respective terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.
Assigned Contracts The Grantor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor shall take all action necessary or appropriate to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under its Assigned Contracts. The Grantor shall notify the Lender in writing, promptly after the Grantor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a material claim by it for indemnification under any of its material Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue such right and report to the Lender on all further developments with respect thereto. The Grantor shall deposit into a Deposit Account at the Lender or subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement for application to the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, all amounts received by the Grantor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. If the Grantor shall fail after the Lender’s demand to pursue diligently any right under its material Assigned Contracts, or if a Default then exists, the Lender may directly enforce such right in its own or the Grantor’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Lender shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Lender under any material Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Grantor shall indemnify and hold the Lender and Lender 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 the Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Grantor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of the Grantor shall be and remain enforceable only against the Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the Lender. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Grantor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and the Lender’s exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Grantor from any of such duties and obligations. The Lender shall not be obligated to perform or fulfill any of the Grantor’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.
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”.
Business Contracts All Contracts (other than the Real Property Lease and Personal Property Leases) to which Seller is a party and which are utilized in the conduct of the Business, including without limitation Contracts relating to suppliers, sales representatives, distributors, customers, purchase orders, licensees, licensors, marketing arrangements and manufacturing arrangements, and including without limitation the Contracts listed in Section 1.01(a)(v) of Seller's Disclosure Schedule (the "Business Contracts");
Accounts Receivable; Inventory (a) For each Account with respect to which Advances are requested, on the date each Advance is requested and made, such Account shall be an Eligible Account.
Accounts Receivable All accounts receivable of the Company that are reflected on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date (collectively, the "Accounts Receivable") represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the Ordinary Course of Business. Unless paid prior to the Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date current and collectible net of the respective reserves shown on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice and, in the case of the reserve as of the Closing Date, will not represent a greater percentage of the Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date than the reserve reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet represented of the Accounts Receivable reflected therein and will not represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts Receivable in terms of aging). Subject to such reserves, each of the Accounts Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any set-off, within ninety days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable. There is no contest, claim, or right of set-off, other than returns in the Ordinary Course of Business, under any Contract with any obligor of an Accounts Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Accounts Receivable. Part 3.8 of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list of all Accounts Receivable as of the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, which list sets forth the aging of such Accounts Receivable.
Related Contracts (i) The Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Contracts, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (x) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, promptly forward to such Agent all information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related Contracts relating to the Collateral, subject to applicable confidentiality requirements, and (y) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Contracts relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of such Agent; provided that if the Borrower receives conflicting requests pursuant to this subclause (y), it shall follow whichever request is evidenced to be derived from the direction of the Majority Lenders.
Property Contracts Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligations under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser; however, operating expenses shall be prorated under Section 5.4.2.
