Following the Pre-Closing Restructuring, at the Closing, Purchaser shall (directly or indirectly) own and assume all the assets, properties, claims, rights and Liabilities of Seller and its Subsidiaries constituting Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities and neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Entities) shall (directly or indirectly) own any Excluded Assets or be liable for or have any responsibility with respect to any Retained Liabilities.

In the event that, at any time between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Exhibit A is amended to designate any additional Subsidiaries as a Transferred Entity (whether as an Auto Care Company or as an Auto Care Company Subsidiary) or to remove any Subsidiary from the universe of Auto Care Companies or Transferred Entities, Seller shall be permitted to revise the Seller Disclosure Letter at such time to include any additional necessary disclosures related thereto.
