Project Contracts Prior to the delivery of this Lease, the Company may have entered into a contract or contracts with respect to the acquisition and/or construction of the Improvements. Those contracts, and any such contracts entered into by the Company after delivery of this Lease are hereinafter referred to as the “Project Contracts.” Prior to the delivery hereof, certain work has been or may have been performed on the Improvements pursuant to said Project Contracts or otherwise. Subject to the Lender’s rights in the Project Contracts, the Company hereby conveys, transfers and assigns to the Issuer all of the Company’s rights in, but not its obligations under the Project Contracts and the Issuer hereby designates the Company as Issuer’s agent for the purpose of executing and performing the Project Contracts. After the execution hereof, the Company shall cause the Project Contracts to be fully performed by the contractor(s), subcontractor(s) and supplier(s) thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Company covenants to cause the Improvements to be acquired, constructed and/or completed in accordance with the Project Contracts. Any and all amounts received by the Issuer, the Trustee or the Company from any of the contractors or other suppliers by way of breach of contract, refunds or adjustments shall become a part of and be deposited in the Project Fund.
New Contracts Except as provided in Section 6.1.4, Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without the payment of any termination penalty on not more than 30 days’ prior notice.
Price Adjustments for OGS Centralized Contracts Periodic price adjustments will occur no more than twice per year on a schedule to be established solely by OGS. Pricing offered shall be fixed for the first twelve (12) months of the Contract term. Such price increases will only apply to the OGS Centralized Contracts and shall not be applied retroactively to Authorized User Agreements or any Mini-bids already submitted to an Authorized User. Price decreases may be made at any time. Additionally, some price decreases shall be calculated in accordance with Appendix B, section 17, Pricing.
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 (a) The Assumed Contacts are all of the agreements and contracts in any way relating to or affecting the Business, all of which are assignable to and will be fully and effectively assigned and transferred to Buyer as of the Closing Date without expense to Buyer or imposition of any condition or restriction binding on Buyer. The copies of all Assumed Contracts have been furnished to Buyer, and are full and complete copies, as amended, to the present date.
(b) All Assumed Contracts are now and on the Closing Date shall be in good standing and in full force and effect without amendment thereto (unless such amendments are clearly noted) and Seller is entitled to all benefits thereunder. All of the transactions of Seller with third persons have been conducted on an arms-length basis. All Assumed Contracts are valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms.
(c) No material default or alleged material default exists on the part of Seller, nor, to the knowledge of Seller or its officers, on the part of any other party, under any Assumed Contract and there exists no state of facts, which after notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default or breach in connection with any Assumed Contract. For purposes of this subsection, the word "default" includes, but is not limited to, the failure to comply with any condition precedent under the provisions of any such Assumed Contract. Seller has received no information which might reasonably indicate that any party to a contract or commitment is unable or unwilling to perform under such Assumed Contract.
(d) Seller has no information which might reasonably indicate that any customer or supplier of Seller intends to cease purchasing from, selling to or dealing with Seller, nor has any information been brought to the attention of Seller which might reasonably lead Seller to believe that any customer or supplier intends to alter in any material respect, the amount of such purchases, sales or the extent of dealings with Seller or would alter in any material respect its purchases from, sales to, or dealings with Buyer in the event of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Accounts Receivables Each existing Account constitutes, and each hereafter arising Account will, when such Account arises, constitute, the legally valid and binding obligation of the Account Debtor, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially adversely affect the value or collectability of the Accounts included in the Collateral, taken as a whole. No Account Debtor has any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim against any Grantor that can be asserted against the Administrative Agent, whether in any proceeding to enforce the Administrative Agent’s rights in the Accounts included in the Collateral, or otherwise, except for defenses, setoffs, claims or counterclaims that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially adversely affect the value or collectability of the Accounts included in the Collateral, taken as a whole. None of the Grantors’ accounts receivables are, nor will any hereafter arising account receivable be, evidenced by a promissory note or other Instrument (other than a check) that has not been pledged to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.
