Affiliate Transactions Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the partners, members or shareholders, as applicable, of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

Affiliate Contracts The Company and Sellers will cause the termination, effective no later than the Closing, of the contracts or arrangements set forth on Schedule 10.05 without any further cost or Liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries (or, after the Closing, Buyer or its Affiliates).
Material Contracts and Transactions Other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, there are no material contracts, agreements, licenses, permits, arrangements, commitments, instruments, understandings or contracts, whether written or oral, express or implied, contingent, fixed or otherwise, to which Pubco is a party except as disclosed in writing to Priveco or as disclosed in the Pubco SEC Documents.
Assumed Contracts If Buyer delivers a written notice of objection to any Assumed Contract prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, to the extent a termination right in favor of the applicable Seller is provided for in such Assumed Contract, or if such Assumed Contract does not prohibit termination, the applicable Seller shall instruct its Property Manager to promptly following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period provide a notice of termination to the vendor thereunder with respect to each such Assumed Contract to which Buyer has timely objected (collectively, the “Objectionable Contracts”); provided, however, that (i) Buyer may not object to any of the Cable Contracts or any other Assumed Contract marked “must assume” on Schedules 3.1(l)-1 through 3.1(l)-5 and shall assume the same at Closing pursuant to the applicable Assignment of Contracts; (ii) Seller shall have no obligation to terminate any Contract, which by its terms is not terminable or which cannot be terminated without payment of an express termination fee or penalty unless Buyer agrees in writing to pay such termination fee or penalty; (iii) if the termination of any Objectionable Contract cannot be made effective upon the Closing Date (Seller not being obligated to pay any money to accomplish such termination), then such Objectionable Contract shall be assumed by Buyer at Closing pursuant to the applicable Assignment of Contracts (together with all Assumed Contracts with respect to the applicable Asset that do not constitute Objectionable Contracts) for the remaining period of such Assumed Contract until its effective date of termination, and (iv) Buyer shall be responsible for any termination fees payable with respect to the termination of any Objectionable Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required or entitled to assume any Assumed Contract that, by its terms, may not be assigned to and assumed by Buyer without the consent of a third party, unless such third party’s written consent is actually obtained at or before the Closing. All Contracts that Buyer is required to assume hereunder are collectively referred to herein as the “Assumed Contracts”.
Third Party Contracts From the Effective Date through and including the Closing Date, Seller agrees to enter into only those third-party contracts which are necessary to carry out its obligations under Section 5.2, which shall be on market terms and cancellable on thirty (30) days written notice or less, without payment of any fee or penalty. Copies of all such contracts so entered into by Seller shall be promptly provided by Seller to Purchaser.
Closing Date Transactions On the Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions herein:
Affiliate Transfers (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2(b) hereof, and subject in each case to the prior written approval of each Member (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), any Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Interest in the Company at any time to an Affiliate of such Member, provided that such Affiliate shall remain an Affiliate of such Member at all times that such Affiliate holds such Interest. If such Affiliate shall thereafter cease being an Affiliate of such Member while such Affiliate holds such Interest, such cessation shall be a non-permitted Transfer and shall be deemed void ab initio, whereupon the Member having made the Transfer shall, at its own and sole expense, cause such putative transferee to disgorge all economic benefits and otherwise indemnify the Company and the other Member(s) against loss or damage under any Collateral Agreement.
Assigned Contracts The Grantor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor shall take all action necessary or appropriate to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under its Assigned Contracts. The Grantor shall notify the Lender in writing, promptly after the Grantor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a material claim by it for indemnification under any of its material Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue such right and report to the Lender on all further developments with respect thereto. The Grantor shall deposit into a Deposit Account at the Lender or subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement for application to the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, all amounts received by the Grantor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. If the Grantor shall fail after the Lender’s demand to pursue diligently any right under its material Assigned Contracts, or if a Default then exists, the Lender may directly enforce such right in its own or the Grantor’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Lender shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Lender under any material Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Grantor shall indemnify and hold the Lender and Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaims, recoupment, or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by the Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Grantor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of the Grantor shall be and remain enforceable only against the Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the Lender. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Grantor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and the Lender’s exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Grantor from any of such duties and obligations. The Lender shall not be obligated to perform or fulfill any of the Grantor’s duties or obligations under its Assigned Contracts or to make any payment thereunder, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment or property received by it thereunder or the sufficiency of performance by any party thereunder, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance, any payment of any amounts, or any delivery of any property.
Employee Loans and Affiliate Transactions (a) Other than a Permitted Sale-Leaseback, no Credit Party shall enter into or be a party to any transaction with any other Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof except in the ordinary course of and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of such Credit Party’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to such Credit Party than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate of such Credit Party. In addition, if any such transaction or series of related transactions involves payments in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, the terms of these transactions must be disclosed in advance to Agent and Lenders. All such transactions existing as of the date hereof are described in Disclosure Schedule (6.4(a)).
