Past Practice The parties agree that all past practices and other understandings between the parties not expressly memorialized and incorporated into this Agreement shall no longer be enforceable.
Custody of Assets Sub-Adviser shall at no time have the right to physically possess the assets of the Funds or have the assets registered in its own name or the name of its nominee, nor shall Sub-Adviser in any manner acquire or become possessed of any income, whether in kind or cash, or proceeds, whether in kind or cash, distributable by reason of selling, holding or controlling such assets of the Funds. In accordance with the preceding sentence, Sub-Adviser shall have no responsibility with respect to the collection of income, physical acquisition or the safekeeping of the assets of the Funds. All such duties of collection, physical acquisition and safekeeping shall be the sole obligation of the custodian.
Dispositions of Assets Until the first day after the Restriction Period, none of SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group shall sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of assets (including, for such purpose, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary and any transaction treated for tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 60 percent of the gross assets of SpinCo, nor shall SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of assets (including, for such purpose, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary and any transaction treated for tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 60 percent of the consolidated gross assets of the SpinCo Group. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of SpinCo or the SpinCo Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4(b)(v), a merger of SpinCo or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of SpinCo or such Subsidiary.
Sales of Assets The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Dispose of any substantial part (as defined below) of the assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries) of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Dispose of assets constituting a substantial part of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries if such assets are sold for Fair Market Value and, at such time and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and an amount equal to the net proceeds received from such Disposition (but only with respect to that portion of such assets that exceeds the definition of “substantial part” set forth below) shall be used within 365 days of such Disposition, in any combination: (a) to acquire productive assets used or useful in carrying on the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such assets Disposed of; and/or (b) to prepay or retire Senior Indebtedness of the Company and/or a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, provided that in the course of making such application the Company shall offer to prepay each outstanding Note in accordance with Section 8.6 in a principal amount which equals the Ratable Portion for such Note. Once the Company has made the offer to the holders of Notes described in the preceding proviso with respect to any Disposition, (1) the Company shall have no further obligations to any holder of Notes that has rejected or is deemed to have rejected such offer with respect to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the proceeds of such Disposition (the “Unapplied Proceeds”) and (2) the Company shall be permitted to retain and use the Unapplied Proceeds from such Disposition in any manner, free of the requirements of this Section 10.5. As used in this Section 10.5, a Disposition of assets shall be deemed to be a “substantial part” of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries if the book value of such assets, when added to the book value of all other assets Disposed of by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the period of 12 consecutive months ending on the date of such Disposition, exceeds 10% of the book value of Consolidated Total Assets; provided that there shall be excluded from any determination of a “substantial part” (1) any Disposition of assets in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (2) any Disposition of assets from the Company to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary or from any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary and (3) any sale of property acquired or constructed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Agreement to any Person within 365 days following the acquisition or completion of construction of such property by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall concurrently with such sale, lease such property, as lessee.
