ASSUMPTION OF CERTAIN DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS The Assuming Institution agrees with the Receiver and the Corporation as follows:
Exclusion of Certain Transactions In the event the Company or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction in which the Advisor, any Affiliate of the Advisor or any of the Advisor’s directors or officers has a direct or indirect interest, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the members of the Board not otherwise interested in such transaction, including a majority of the Independent Directors.
Allocation of Certain Taxes (a) The Equityholders and Buyer will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, elect with the appropriate Taxing Authorities to close the Taxable periods of the Company as of and including the Closing Date. In any case where Applicable Law does not require or permit such a Taxable period of the Company to be closed as of and including the Closing Date, any Tax described in Section 8.01(a) and pertaining to a period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8.02(b) hereof. (b) In the case of any Tax described in Section 8.01(a) that is based on income, sales, revenue, production or similar items, or other Taxes not described in the next sentence, such Tax pertaining or attributable to the Company for the Pre-Closing Period shall be determined assuming that the Company uses the accrual method of Tax accounting and the portion of such Tax pertaining or attributable to the Pre-Closing Period of any Straddle Period shall be determined on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of and including the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period. For purposes of this Section 8.02, the liability for any Taxes not described in the preceding sentences, including any real or personal property Taxes or a flat minimum dollar Tax, the total amount of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Period of a Straddle Period shall be the product of (i) such Tax for the entirety of such Straddle Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days for such Tax period included in the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Tax period.
Assumption of Assumed Liabilities (a) Except as expressly provided in Section 2.4(b), the Purchaser shall not assume, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, any liability or obligation of either Seller whatsoever, whether known, unknown, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether accrued or unaccrued. (b) Subject to the foregoing Section 2.4(a), effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall assume the following liabilities and obligations of the Sellers arising out of the use, ownership or operation of the Business, the Facilities or the other Assets (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”): (i) the obligations of the Sellers under (x) each Assumed Contract, related to the rights under each Assumed Contract assigned to the Purchaser under the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (y) each JWWTP Agreement to the extent assigned to the Purchaser under the Assignment (JWWTP Agreements) and (z) each License included in the Assets required to be performed on or after the Closing Date; (ii) all accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of the Sellers related to the Business and accrued or existing as of the Closing Date, but only to the extent included in the determination of Final Net Working Capital; (iii) all liabilities and obligations, known or unknown, relating to, resulting from, arising out of or in connection with, directly or indirectly, (A) events that occur, (B) services performed or products manufactured or sold, or (C) the ownership, operation or use of the Business and the Assets, in each case, from and after the Closing; (iv) liabilities and obligations relating to or arising from physical or bodily injuries to, or damage to the property of, third parties that occur from and after the Closing to the extent caused by the physical condition of the Assets (which are being transferred as-is, where-is); (v) liabilities arising in connection with any severance plan established by the Purchaser on or after the Closing Date; and (vi) liabilities under any of the CBAs or any other collective bargaining agreement or other labor arrangement, including any grievances, to the extent arising from any act or omission after the Closing.
Treatment of Certain Refunds If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities (a) On or prior to the Effective Time, but in any case prior to the Distribution, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization:
Effect of Certain Transactions In the case of (a) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company is acquired by another person or entity (other than a holding company formed by the Company), (c) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person or entity, or (d) the sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding stock of the Company to an unrelated person or entity (in each case, a "Transaction"), other than a merger transaction to be accounted for as a "pooling of interests" under XXX Xx. 00 in which the surviving entity assumes this Stock Option (a "Pooling Transaction"), this Stock Option shall be deemed fully vested and exercisable as of the closing or consummation of such Transaction, provided that such acceleration and any notice of exercise of options that become vested as of such closing or consummation shall in all cases be subject to and contingent upon such closing or consummation. From and after the closing or consummation of any such Transaction, other than a Pooling Transaction, this Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable as to any Option Shares unexercised on or prior to the closing or consummation date of such Transaction, unless provision is made in such Transaction in the sole discretion of the parties thereto for the assumption of this Stock Option or the substitution for this Stock Option of a new stock option of the successor person or entity or a parent or subsidiary thereof, if any, with such adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the per share exercise price as such parties shall agree to. In the event of a Pooling Transaction, this Stock Option shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms as provided herein and shall become an obligation of the surviving entity, with appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares and the per share exercise price as contemplated by the Stock Plans. In the event of any Transaction subject to this Section, the Company shall give to the Optionee written notice thereof at least fifteen (15) days prior to the closing or anticipated consummation date, or the record date for such transaction, if earlier.
Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller Any Person (a) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party or (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder without the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall have been breached and no Servicer Termination Event, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event shall have happened and be continuing, (ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (iii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction and (iv) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Issuer and the Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables and reciting the details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above.
