Additional Tax Sums So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if (a) the Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding Securities and (b) a Tax Event described in clause (i) or (iii) in the definition of Tax Event in Section 1.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall pay to the Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) for so long as the Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of the Outstanding Securities, such amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement)) then due and payable by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a result of any Additional Taxes arising from such Tax Event (additional such amounts payable by the Company to the Trust, the “Additional Tax Sums”).

Assumed Obligations At the Closing, Buyer shall assume, and shall agree to satisfy and discharge as the same shall become due, the Seller’s obligations and liabilities first arising subsequent to the Closing (excluding any obligations or liabilities that relate to the period preceding the Closing, including, without limitation, obligations or liabilities arising or accruing with respect to any default or breach by the Seller prior to the Closing) under such of the Contracts as are set forth on Schedule 2.2.2 (collectively, the “Assumed Obligations”). Except for the Assumed Obligations, Buyer shall not assume or be responsible at any time for any liability, obligation, Indebtedness or commitment of the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member, whether absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, or otherwise (such liabilities, obligations, Indebtedness and commitments, other than the Assumed Obligations, collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”), including but not limited to any liabilities, obligations, debts or commitments of the Seller, the Owner or the Owner Member incident to, arising out of or incurred with respect to, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or the Other Acquisition (including any and all sales or use, income or other Taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby). The Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member expressly acknowledge and agree that, except for the Assumed Obligations, the Seller, the Owner and the Owner Member shall retain, as applicable, and Buyer shall not assume or otherwise be obligated to pay, perform, defend or discharge, (i) any liability of the Seller and/or the Owner for Taxes, including without limitation, (A) any and all liabilities for Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Obligations with respect to all periods prior to and including the Closing Date (including any Taxes that are the liability of the Seller pursuant to Section 5.4), (B) any and all liabilities for Taxes of the Seller and/or the Owner for any period, and (C) any and all Tax liabilities that are incurred or become payable as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including but not limited to any transfer, documentary, sales, use, and other Taxes assessed upon or with respect to the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, and any recording or filing fees with respect thereto) (collectively, “Seller Taxes”), (ii) any liability of the Seller and/or the Owner in connection with any employee benefits, (iii) any liability of the Seller and/or the Owner under any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, program, permit, or other legal requirement relating to health, safety, hazardous substances and environmental matters applicable to the Business and/or the facilities used by the Seller (whether or not owned by the Seller), (iv) any liability pertaining to services provided by the Seller prior to the Closing Date, or insurance related matters, (v) any liabilities and obligations of the Seller with respect to the Excluded Assets, (vi) any liabilities arising under or in connection with an Employee Plan, or (vii) any other liabilities arising prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the Seller Note Payable), regardless of whether such liabilities are disclosed on the Schedules to this Agreement. The Seller and the Owner further agree to satisfy and discharge, as the same shall become due, all Excluded Liabilities. Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Obligations shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of third parties against Buyer as compared to the rights and remedies which such parties would have had against the Seller or the Owner had this Agreement not been consummated.
Assumption of Liabilities and Obligations (a) At the Closing, ATS shall assume and agree to pay, discharge and perform the following obligations and liabilities of BEA (collectively, the "BEA Assumed Obligations"): (i) all of the obligations and liabilities of BEA under the BEA Assumable Agreements, and (ii) all obligations and liabilities of BEA with respect to the ownership and operation of the BEA Assets and the conduct of the BEA Business, on and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, ATS shall not assume and agree to pay, and shall not be obligated with respect to, the BEA Nonassumed Obligations.
(b) ATS shall not assume or become obligated to perform any debt, liability or obligation of BEA relating to any of the following matters (collectively, the "BEA Nonassumed Obligations"):
(i) the ownership or operation of the BEA Assets or the conduct of the BEA Business prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation Taxes, unfunded pension costs, any Employment Arrangement of BEA (including without limitation any obligation to any BEA Employee for severance benefits, vacation time or sick leave), and any of the following to the extent same arise from Events occurring prior to or existing on the Closing Date: products liability, Legal Actions or other Claims, and obligations and liabilities relating to Environmental Law;
(ii) any obligations or liabilities under the BEA Assumable Agreements relating to the period prior to the Closing;
(iii) any insurance policies of BEA;
(iv) those required to be disclosed in the BEA Disclosure Schedule which are not so disclosed or which, if disclosed, Section 2.2(b)(iv) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule indicates that such obligation or liability will not be assumed;
(v) any liability or obligation from or relating to breach of any warranty or any misrepresentation by BEA under this Agreement or any Collateral Document;
(vi) any liability or obligation from or relating to breach or violation of, or failure to perform, any of BEA's obligations, covenants, agreements or undertakings set forth in this Agreement or any Collateral Document, including without limitation Article 5 of this Agreement;
(vii) any obligation or liability relating to any asset of BEA not included in the BEA Assets.
(viii) any obligation or liability with respect to capitalized lease obligations or Indebtedness for Money Borrowed;
(ix) any Taxes, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid by BEA pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Collateral Document; and
(x) any Contract with any Affiliate of BEA, other than those, if any, set forth in Section 2(b)(x) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule. All BEA Nonassumed Obligations shall remain and be the obligations and liabilities solely of BEA.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule, all items of income and expense (including without limitation with respect to rent, utility charges, Pro Ratable Taxes and wages, salaries and accrued but unused vacation of BEA employees) arising from the ownership or operation of the BEA Assets or the conduct of the BEA Business shall be prorated as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, with BEA entitled to and responsible for any such items on or prior to the Closing Date and ATS entitled to and responsible for any such items relating to any subsequent period. For these purposes, Pro Ratable Taxes attributable to a period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be treated on a "closing of the books" basis as two partial periods, one ending at the close of the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date, except that Pro Ratable Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis. If either party shall have received any such revenues or paid any such expenses or charges which, pursuant to the terms hereof, the other party is entitled to or responsible for, it shall furnish the other party with a detailed statement of any such items as soon as practicable after receipt or payment thereof. The parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon such items and other adjustments prior to the Closing Date and, in any event, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) of the BEA Disclosure Schedule, within sixty (60) days thereafter. If the parties are unable within such period to agree upon such items and other adjustments, BEA and ATS shall, within the following ten (10) days, jointly designate a nationally known independent public accounting firm to be retained to review such items and other adjustments. The fees and other expenses of retaining such independent public accounting firm shall be borne equally by BEA and ATS. Such firm shall report its conclusions as to such items and other adjustments pursuant to this Section and such report shall be conclusive on all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or review. Upon such agreement or determination by such independent accounting firm, BEA or ATS, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse the other party for any income received or expenses paid by the other party and not previously reimbursed or any other adjustment required by this Section. Nothing contained in this Section 2.2(c) is intended or shall be deemed to amend or modify the indemnification provisions of Article 8 nor to reallocate responsibility for the matters set forth therein.
Deposit Liabilities The Deposit Liabilities are insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by federal law and no action is pending or has been threatened by the FDIC against Seller with respect to the termination of such insurance, and all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due by Seller. The Deposit Liabilities were opened, extended or made, and have been maintained, in all material respects in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, rules and orders. The Deposit Liabilities (a) are in all respects genuine and enforceable obligations of Seller, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship, or similar laws or judicial decisions relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or the rights of creditors, or of the FDIC as insurer, regulator, conservator, or receiver, of banks the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC, and (b) were acquired in the ordinary course of Seller’s business. Seller has made available to Purchaser any material document setting forth the terms and agreements relating to the Deposit Liabilities. During the five (5) years preceding the date hereof, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has transferred or booked any material amount of deposit liabilities previously booked to a branch or business location of any Affiliate of Seller, other than a Branch. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.11, none of the Deposit Liabilities constitute Brokered Deposits.
Retained Rights The Contributor or, if applicable, the Contributor’s Employer, retains all proprietary rights in addition to copyright, such as patent rights in any process, procedure or article of manufacture described in the Contribution.
Retained Duties With respect to all Appointments, the Sellers shall continue to perform the Retained Duties in accordance with the terms of the applicable Corporate Trust Contracts and this Agreement and in compliance with applicable Law. The Purchasers shall pay to the Sellers compensation for the Retained Duties on commercial terms that are reasonably agreed between the Purchasers and the Sellers. The parties agree that the Sellers shall not receive any compensation with respect to any Retained Duties described in clause (c) of the definition thereof.
