Following the Pre-Closing Restructuring, at the Closing, Purchaser shall (directly or indirectly) own and assume all the assets, properties, claims, rights and Liabilities of Seller and its Subsidiaries constituting Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities and neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entities) shall (directly or indirectly) own any Excluded Assets or be liable for or have any responsibility with respect to any Retained Liabilities.
