Related to Nonassignable Assigned Contracts and Royalty Payments
Nonassignable Contracts To the extent that the assignment ----------------------- hereunder by Seller to Buyer of any contract, commitment, license, lease or other agreement of Seller (the "Contracts") is prohibited or is not permitted without the consent of any other party to the Contract, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment of any such Contract if such consent is not given or if such assignment otherwise would constitute a breach of, or cause a loss of contractual benefits under, any such Contract, and Buyer shall assume no obligations or liabilities thereunder. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall advise Buyer promptly in writing with respect to any Contract as to which it knows it will not receive any required consent. Without in any way limiting Seller's obligation pursuant to Section 9.3. to obtain all consents and waivers necessary for the sale, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Contracts and the Purchased Assets to Buyer hereunder, if any such consent is not obtained or if such assignment is not permitted irrespective of consent and the Closing hereunder is consummated, Seller shall, if requested by Buyer, cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the rights and benefits (subject to the obligations) under the Contract, including, if reasonably requested by Buyer, by enforcing for the benefit of Buyer any and all rights of Seller against any other person arising out of breach or cancellation by such other person, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyer, subcontracting to Buyer the right to perform under the Contract on the same economic terms as applied to Seller prior to the Closing and acting as Buyer shall otherwise reasonably require, in each case at Buyer's expense. Acceptance of any such arrangement shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of any claim or alleged breach under this Agreement with respect to such Contracts.
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”.
Non-Assignable Contracts (a) If and to the extent that any Ralcorp Party is unable to obtain any consent, approval or amendment necessary for the transfer or assignment to any Post Party of any Contract or other rights relating to the Post Business that would otherwise be transferred or assigned to such Post Party as contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated hereby, (i) such Ralcorp Party shall continue to be bound thereby and the purported transfer or assignment to such Post Party shall automatically be deemed deferred until such time as all legal impediments are removed and all necessary consents have been obtained and (ii) unless not permitted by the terms thereof or by law, the Post Parties shall pay, perform and discharge fully all of the obligations of the Ralcorp Parties thereunder from and after the Distribution, or such earlier time as such transfer or assignment would otherwise have taken place, and indemnify the Ralcorp Parties for all Losses arising out of such performance by such Post Party. The Ralcorp Parties shall, without further consideration therefor, pay and remit to the applicable Post Party promptly all monies, rights and other considerations received in respect of such performance. The Ralcorp Parties shall exercise or exploit their rights and options under all such Contracts and other rights, agreements and documents referred to in this Section 7.02(a) only as reasonably directed by Post and at Post’s expense. If and when any such consent, approval or amendment shall be obtained or such Contract or other right or agreement shall otherwise become transferable or assignable or be able to be novated, the Ralcorp Parties shall promptly assign or transfer and novate (to the extent permissible) all of their rights and obligations thereunder to the applicable Post Party without payment of further consideration, and such Post Party shall, without the payment of any further consideration therefor, assume such rights and obligations. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Contract or other right (or the proceeds therefrom) pursuant to this Section 7.02(a) is prohibited by law or the terms thereof, this Section 7.02(a) shall operate to create a subcontract with the applicable Post Party to perform each relevant Contract or other right, agreement or document at a subcontract price equal to the monies, rights and other considerations received by the Ralcorp Parties with respect to the performance by such Post Party.
Unassigned or Nonassignable Inventions I recognize that this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any Invention that I developed entirely on my own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets, or Proprietary Information, except for those Inventions that either (i) relate to the Company’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, or (ii) result from or are connected with work performed by me for the Company. In addition, this Agreement does not apply to any Invention which qualifies fully for protection from assignment to the Company under any specifically applicable state law, regulation, rule, or public policy (“Specific Inventions Law”).
Non-Assignable Assets (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 11.1, if any Contract that would be an Assigned Contract, or other asset that would be a Purchased Asset, including the portion of any Shared Contract which is applicable to the Purchased Programs pursuant to Section 2.6, is not assignable or transferable (each, a “Non-Assignable Asset”) without the consent of, or waiver by, a Third Party or action by a Governmental Authority (each, an “Assignment Consent”), either as a result of the provisions thereof or applicable Laws, and any such Assignment Consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, then this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Non-Assignable Asset and such Non-Assignable Asset shall not be included in the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the Pfizer Parties’ obligations under Section 8.4 or Section 9.1, each of the parties hereto, for a period of [***] following the Closing Date, or longer to the extent provided for or contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement (the “Cooperation Period”), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such Assignment Consents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(a) shall require any of the Pfizer Parties or any of their Affiliates to modify any of its respective rights in a manner adverse to any of the Pfizer Parties or any of their Affiliates or to pay any fee or other payment, or incur any Liability, cost or out-of-pocket expense in connection with the efforts set forth in this Section 2.5(a), with any such Liabilities, costs or out-of-pocket expenses to be borne by NewCo. To the extent such Assignment Consents are obtained during the Cooperation Period, the Pfizer Parties shall assign to NewCo or its designee such Non-Assignable Assets. Following any such assignment, such assets shall be deemed Purchased Assets for purposes of this Agreement.
Assignment of Contracts and Rights Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof, be ineffective with respect to any party thereto or in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or, upon transfer, Purchaser thereunder. Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts to obtain the necessary consents to the assignment of each Seller Contract or other Seller Asset which by its terms requires the consent of any of the other contracting parties thereto to an assignment thereof to Purchaser. If such consent is not obtained with respect to any such Contract or other Asset, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate in an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller under which Purchaser shall obtain, to the extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits and assume the corresponding obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing or sub-leasing to Purchaser, or under which Seller shall enforce for the benefit of Purchaser, with Purchaser assuming Seller’s obligations, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Seller against a third party thereto. Seller will promptly pay to Purchaser when received all monies received by Seller under any Contract or other Asset or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder not transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8(j). Purchaser agrees to perform at its sole expense all of the obligations of Seller to be performed after the Acquisition Date under any such Contract or other Asset the benefits of which Purchaser is receiving pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(g).
Transferred Contracts As of the date hereof, except for Excluded Contracts, the Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(bbbb) are all of the Contracts between Seller and any third party. Except for copies of purchase orders entered into by Seller in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices that have not been provided to Buyer, true and complete copies of all Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(bbbb) (including all amendments, schedules and exhibits thereto) have been delivered to Buyer. Each Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement is in full force and effect and Seller is not in breach thereof, nor to Seller’s Knowledge is any party obligated to Seller pursuant to any such Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement in breach thereof. Seller has neither breached, violated nor defaulted under, nor received notice that Seller has breached, violated or defaulted under, any of the terms or conditions of any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement. Seller has obtained, or will obtain prior to the Closing, all necessary consents, waivers and approvals of parties to any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement as are required thereunder in connection with the Closing, or for any such Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement to remain in full force and effect without limitation, modification or alteration after the Closing. Following the Closing, Buyer will be permitted to exercise all of the rights Seller had under the Transferred Contracts without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which Seller would otherwise be required to pay pursuant to the terms of such Transferred Contracts had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements not occurred. Seller has not received any notice regarding any actual, alleged, possible or potential violation or breach of, or default under, any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement. Seller has not waived any right under any Transferred Contract. To the Knowledge of Seller, each Person against whom Seller has or may acquire any rights under any Transferred Contract is able to satisfy all of such Person’s current and future monetary obligations and other obligations and liabilities thereunder. No Person is renegotiating, or has the right to renegotiate, any amount paid or payable to Seller or owed by Seller under any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement or any other term or provision of any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement. Seller has not guaranteed or otherwise agreed to cause, insure or become liable for, nor pledged any of its assets to secure, the performance or payment of any obligation or other liability of any other Person.
Shared Contracts (a) Except as set forth on Schedule VIII, the Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the third party to such Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that (a) a member of the SpinCo Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the SpinCo Business (the “SpinCo Portion”), which rights shall be a SpinCo Asset and which obligations shall be a SpinCo Liability, and (b) a member of the Nuance Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared Contract not relating to the SpinCo Business (the “Nuance Portion”), which rights shall be a Nuance Asset and which obligations shall be a Nuance Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of a Shared Contract unless and until any necessary Consents are obtained or made, as applicable. If the Parties, or their respective Group members, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to formally divide, partially assign, modify or replicate such Shared Contract prior to the Distribution as contemplated by the previous sentence, then the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members to, cooperate in any reasonable and permissible arrangement to provide that, following the Distribution, a member of the SpinCo Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the SpinCo Portion under such Shared Contract and a member of the Nuance Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the Nuance Portion under such Shared Contract, it being understood that no Party shall have Liability to the other Party for the failure of any third party to perform its obligations under any such Shared Contract.
Third Party Contracts From the Effective Date through and including the Closing Date, Seller agrees to enter into only those third-party contracts which are necessary to carry out its obligations under Section 5.2, which shall be on market terms and cancellable on thirty (30) days written notice or less, without payment of any fee or penalty. Copies of all such contracts so entered into by Seller shall be promptly provided by Seller to Purchaser.
