Assumption of Liabilities and Obligations (a) At the Closing, ATS shall assume and agree to pay, discharge and perform the following obligations and liabilities of BEA (collectively, the "BEA Assumed Obligations"): (i) all of the obligations and liabilities of BEA under the BEA Assumable Agreements, and (ii) all obligations and liabilities of BEA with respect to the ownership and operation of the BEA Assets and the conduct of the BEA Business, on and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, ATS shall not assume and agree to pay, and shall not be obligated with respect to, the BEA Nonassumed Obligations.
(b) ATS shall not assume or become obligated to perform any debt, liability or obligation of BEA relating to any of the following matters (collectively, the "BEA Nonassumed Obligations"):
(i) the ownership or operation of the BEA Assets or the conduct of the BEA Business prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation Taxes, unfunded pension costs, any Employment Arrangement of BEA (including without limitation any obligation to any BEA Employee for severance benefits, vacation time or sick leave), and any of the following to the extent same arise from Events occurring prior to or existing on the Closing Date: products liability, Legal Actions or other Claims, and obligations and liabilities relating to Environmental Law;
(ii) any obligations or liabilities under the BEA Assumable Agreements relating to the period prior to the Closing;
(iii) any insurance policies of BEA;
(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;
(vii) any obligation or liability relating to any asset of BEA not included in the BEA Assets.
(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. If the parties are unable within such period to agree upon such items and other adjustments, BEA and ATS shall, within the following ten (10) days, jointly designate a nationally known independent public accounting firm to be retained to review such items and other adjustments. 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.
Duties and Obligations of Administrative Agent The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or as to those conditions precedent expressly required to be to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any other obligor or guarantor, or (vii) any failure by the Borrower or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed closing date specifying its objection thereto.
