Sharing of Liability If any Underwriter defaults in its obligations: (a) pursuant to Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.4 hereof, (b) to pay amounts charged to its account pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2, or 8.1 hereof, or (c) pursuant to Section 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, or 11.1 hereof, you will assume your proportionate share (determined on the basis of the respective Underwriting Percentages of the non-defaulting Underwriters) of such obligations, but no such assumption will relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability to the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Issuer, the Guarantor, or the Seller for its default.
Allocation of Liabilities (a) The parties agree that in the event that liabilities are incurred by any party hereto or any Subsidiary thereof directly relating to, arising out of or resulting from a final, non-appealable judgment being entered, or any settlement permitted hereby being entered into, in connection with the Lawsuit, such liabilities ("IRI Liabilities") shall be allocated among the parties as follows:
(i) ACNielsen agrees to assume exclusive liability for the IRI Liabilities up to the ACN Maximum Amount; and
(ii) Cognizant and D&B each agree to assume exclusive liability for 50% of any IRI Liabilities not payable by ACNielsen pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) No later than five business days after the date on which any IRI Liabilities are incurred, ACNielsen shall give notice to each of Cognizant and D&B of the amount of such IRI Liabilities which ACNielsen will then pay (such amount, the "ACN Payment") and of the amount which ACNielsen has determined to be the ACN Maximum Amount, and ACNielsen will deliver the ACN Payment to Counsel of Record for delivery to the plaintiff in the Lawsuit. Each of Cognizant and D&B agrees to pay to the plaintiff in the Lawsuit on the Payment Date an amount equal to 50% of the excess (if any) of (x) the aggregate amount of the IRI Liabilities over (y) the ACN Payment (such amount, the "Cognizant/D&B Payment"). In the event Cognizant or D&B disputes or disagrees with ACNielsen's determination of the ACN Maximum Amount, the dispute shall be resolved and the ACN Maximum Amount determined as described in Section 2.2.
(c) Upon the payment of the Cognizant/D&B Payment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, ACNielsen shall issue a note (an "ACN Note") to each of Cognizant and D&B. The principal amount of each ACN Note shall be equal to the Note Amount, as defined below, and each such ACN Note shall be in the form of Schedule A hereto. Interest on the Note Amount as finally determined for each ACN Note shall accrue at a rate equal to the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by The Chase Manhattan Bank as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City and shall be payable at maturity. For purposes hereof, the "Note Amount" of each Note shall initially be equal to the Cognizant/D&B Payment, provided, however, (i) that upon the determination of the ACN Maximum Amount, if the Note Amount is greater than 50% of the difference between the ACN Maximum Amount and the ACN Payment, then the Note Amount shall be reduced to and shall equal 50% of such difference, and (ii) that upon receipt of the aggregate amount of proceeds generated by any Recapitalization Plan (as defined below) upon completion thereof in accordance with the first sentence of Section 2.2(g), if the Note Amount (after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to clause (i)) is greater than 50% of the amount of such proceeds, then the Note Amount shall be reduced to and shall equal 50% of the amount of such proceeds. The Note Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be payable upon the earlier of (x) the completion of the Recapitalization Plan, provided, however, that if the Recapitalization Plan is structured to generate proceeds which are receivable by ACNielsen at different times without being contingent upon the completion of any other aspect of the Recapitalization Plan, then at each time that proceeds are so received, 50% of such proceeds shall be payable to each of Cognizant and D&B, and the receipt by Cognizant and D&B of their respective share of such proceeds shall reduce the then applicable Note Amount accordingly, and (y) the declaration by the Payee of an ACN Note (as defined therein) that such Note Amount and interest thereon are immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of such ACN Note upon determination being made under Section 2.2(g) hereof that ACNielsen has not exercised its good faith best efforts to implement the Recapitalization Plan as soon as practicable, or as otherwise provided by such ACN Note.
(d) Immediately after the Payment Date, ACNielsen agrees to grant to, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries to grant to, Cognizant and D&B, as collateral security for the payment and performance of ACNielsen's obligations under the ACN Notes and otherwise to indemnify Cognizant and D&B against any IRI Liabilities as required by this Article II, a perfected first priority security interest in all of its tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, intellectual property, real property and all of the capital stock of each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and first-tier foreign subsidiaries), to the extent permitted by any other bona fide security or other similar agreements with third-parties not controlled by ACNielsen or any of its Affiliates, pursuant to such documents (the "Security Documents") as Cognizant and D&B shall deem reasonably necessary or advisable to grant to them a perfected first priority lien on such assets. Each of the Security Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Cognizant and D&B, shall contain terms and conditions which are usual and customary for similar documents delivered in secured financings and shall include guarantees executed and delivered by each of ACNielsen's Subsidiaries which shall be secured by the security interests granted by such Subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, ACNielsen agrees to take, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries to take, all actions necessary or advisable to cause the liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents to be duly perfected in accordance with all applicable requirements of law, including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be requested by Cognizant and D&B and the delivery to Cognizant and D&B (or their representative) of any certificates representing pledged stock, together with undated stock powers executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of ACNielsen or the relevant Subsidiary.
Allocation of Liability It is expressly understood and agreed that the Seller shall be liable to third parties for any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses to the extent arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of the Seller that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property during the period in which the Seller owned the Property prior to the Closing and the Purchaser shall be liable to third parties for any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses to the extent arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of the Purchaser that occur in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property during the period in which the Purchaser owns the Property after the Closing. The provisions of this Section 12.1 shall survive the Closing.
Payment of Liabilities (a) On each Business Day after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control Event, the Administrative Agent shall apply the then collected balance of each Administrative Agent's Account (net of fees charged, and of such impressed balances as may be required by the bank at which such Administrative Agent's Account is maintained) First, towards the SwingLine Loans, Second, towards the unpaid balance of the Loan Account, and Third, to all other Liabilities in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
(b) The following rules shall apply to deposits and payments under and pursuant to this Section 8.5:
(i) Funds shall be deemed to have been deposited to an Administrative Agent's Account on the Business Day on which deposited, provided that notice of such deposit is available to the Administrative Agent by 1:00PM on that Business Day.
(ii) Funds paid to the Administrative Agent, other than by deposit to an Administrative Agent's Account, shall be deemed to have been received on the Business Day when they are good and collected funds, provided that notice of such payment is available to the Administrative Agent by 1:00PM on that Business Day.
(iii) If notice of a deposit to an Administrative Agent's Account (Section 8.5(b)(i)) or payment (Section 8.5(b)(ii)) is not available to the Administrative Agent until after 1:00PM on a Business Day, such deposit or payment shall be deemed to have been made at 9:00AM on the then next Business Day.
(iv) All deposits to an Administrative Agent's Account and other payments to the Administrative Agent are subject to clearance and collection.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall transfer to the Operating Account of the applicable Borrower any surplus in the Administrative Agent's Account remaining after the application towards the Liabilities referred to in Section 8.5(a), above (less those amounts which are to be netted out, as provided therein) provided, however, in the event that
(i) any Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(ii) one or more L/Cs and Banker's Acceptances are then outstanding, then the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the SuperMajority Lenders shall, establish a funded reserve of up to 105% of the aggregate Stated Amounts of such L/C's and such Banker's Acceptances. Such funded reserve shall either be (i) returned to the applicable Borrower provided that no Borrower is in Default or (ii) applied towards the Liabilities in the manner set forth herein following the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 11.12 or acceleration following the occurrence of any other Event of Default.
Novation of Liabilities (a) Each Party, at the request of another Party, shall use best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under Contracts, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities for which a member of such Party’s Group and a member of another Party’s Group are jointly or severally liable and that do not constitute Liabilities of such other Party as provided in this Agreement (such other Party, the “Other Party”), or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements (other than any member of the Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement), so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such Consent, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party).
(b) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required Consent, release, substitution or amendment, the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Party, the Party or member of such Party’s Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause a member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Party’s Group thereunder from and after the Effective Time. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided, that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Other Party has engaged in any knowing violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation in connection therewith. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall promptly Transfer all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of any member of such Other Party’s Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall Assume such rights and Liabilities.
(c) If the Liable Party (i) suffers a downgrade to its senior debt credit rating to below BB (as rated by Standard & Poor’s) or (ii) no longer has its debt securities rated by any nationally recognized credit rating agencies, then, upon the demand of the Other Party, such Liable Party shall be required to post an irrevocable letter of credit or similar security obligation reasonably acceptable to the Other Party in an amount reasonably necessary to provide security to the Other Party for the Liable Party’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.9(b); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to Assumed Tyco Contingent Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the posting of such a letter of credit or similar security obligation shall in no event relieve the issuing Party’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.9(b), and shall not result in a cap or limitation on such Party’s Liabilities with respect thereto.
Limitation of Liabilities TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT FOR ANY BREACHES OF OR FOR LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF SECTION 3 (RESTRICTIONS), 5 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT OR OTHERWISE) FOR: (a) ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOST DATA, OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES OR SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE, OR (b) AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE TOTAL FEES PAYABLE TO XXXXXXXX.XX FOR THE RELEVANT SAAS PRODUCT, DATA PRODUCT, OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT. MULTIPLE CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXPAND THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 11.
Exclusion of Liabilities Regardless of anything else in this Agreement, under no circumstance will we be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, aggravated, punitive or exemplary damages whatsoever (including any loss of profits, opportunity, reputation, revenue, goodwill or any other economic or commercial loss whatsoever), or for any loss of data or information, that is caused to you, regardless of the cause of action, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Absence of Liabilities Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, the Company has no material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, that individually or in the aggregate are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company, and (ii) obligations not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Financial Statements.
Nature of Liability The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Hedging Agreement Provider on the Credit Party Obligations which the Administrative Agent, such Lenders or such Hedging Agreement Provider repay the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.
Exculpation of Liability Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Borrower’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Borrower of any of the terms and conditions thereof.
