Buyer and Seller shall, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, promptly close each offer accepted pursuant to Section 2.1(b). Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, a sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer of any obligation of Seller or any other Person, including, without limitation, any obligation arising under or in connection with the related Purchased Leases or any other Purchased Assets (it being understood that Buyer shall acquire and be solely responsible for exercising the Servicing Rights).
