If at any time after the Closing, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates shall receive or otherwise possess any asset or liability that should belong to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, the Sellers shall, except to the extent the asset is not transferable as provided in Section 12.3(e), promptly notify and transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset or liability to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries. Prior to any such transfer of assets pursuant to this Section 12.3(c), the Sellers and the Buyer agree that the Person receiving or possessing such asset shall hold such asset in trust for the Person to whom such asset should rightfully belong pursuant to this Agreement. (d) If at any time there exist (i) assets that any Party discovers were, contrary to the agreements among the Parties, by mistake or unintentional or other omission, transferred to Buyer or retained by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) Liabilities that any Party discovers were, contrary to the agreements among the Parties, by mistake or unintentional or other omission, assumed by Buyer or retained by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, then the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to effect the transfer or retransfer of such misallocated assets, and/or the assumption or reassumption of misallocated Liabilities, to or by the appropriate Person as promptly as practicable and shall not use the determination that remedial actions need to be taken to alter the original intent of the Parties with respect to the assets to be transferred to or Liabilities to be assumed by Buyer or retained by Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates.

If the transfer or assignment of any asset intended to be transferred or assigned hereunder is not consummated prior to or on the Closing Date, whether as a result of a prohibition on transfer due to a violation or breach of applicable Law or any other requisite Consent, then the Person retaining such asset shall thereafter hold such asset for the use and benefit, insofar as legally permitted and reasonably possible, of the Person entitled thereto until the consummation of the transfer or assignment thereof (or as otherwise mutually determined by the Parties). In addition, the Person retaining such asset shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by the Person to whom such asset is to be transferred in order to place such Person, insofar as legally permitted and reasonably possible, in the same position as if such asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such asset, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such asset, are to inure from and after the Closing Date to the Person to whom such asset is to be transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such asset shall still be considered a Transferred Asset. This provision is intended, among other things, to cause all such assets that are considered Transferred Assets to be treated for all income tax and accounting purposes as if transferred as contemplated hereby, such that such assets are and will be, for all income tax and accounting purposes, owned by the Buyer, and the Parties will so treat such assets for all income tax and accounting purposes, except as required by Law. The Person retaining an asset due to the deferral of the transfer and assignment of such asset shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money or personnel in connection with the maintenance of the asset unless the necessary funds or expenses or costs associated with such maintenance are advanced by the Person to whom such asset is to be transferred, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Person to whom such asset is to be transferred; provided, however, that the Person retaining such asset shall, as promptly as practicable, provide notice to the Person to whom such asset is to be transferred of the amount of all such expenses and fees. (f) Each Party hereto shall cooperate with each other Party hereto and shall set up procedures and notifications as are reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the transfers contemplated by this Section 12.3. (g) For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer or assumption of any assets or Liabilities under this Section 12.3 shall be effected without any additional consideration payable by any Party hereto.
