Assumed Liabilities; Excluded Liabilities (a) Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers shall sell, convey, deliver, transfer and assign to Buyer (or its designated Affiliate), and Buyer (or its designated Affiliate) shall assume from Sellers the Assumed Liabilities.
Assumed and Excluded Liabilities (a) The applicable Transferred Company shall assume and be responsible, from and after the Closing, for (i) all of the Liabilities of Seller and its Subsidiaries to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Transferred Companies or the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets, whether incurred before, on or after the Closing, other than the Excluded Liabilities and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (ii) all Liabilities in respect of the Assigned Contracts and (iii) all Liabilities set forth on Annex 2.3(a) ((i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”) and (b) one or more members of Seller Group, as applicable, shall assume and be responsible for (i) all of the Liabilities of the Transferred Companies to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from an Excluded Asset, whether incurred before, on or after the Closing, (ii) any Liability of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to their employees in their capacity as employers under any employee benefits or similar plans, except to the extent expressly assumed by Buyer under Section 6.6, (iii) all Taxes for which Seller is responsible under Section 6.5(a), (iv) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, any liability for any fees or expenses incurred by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, any accountant, auditor, broker, financial advisor or consultant retained by Seller or its Subsidiaries or on their behalf) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (v) any Liabilities of the Transferred Companies relating to, arising out of or resulting from any business currently or formerly conducted by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from (x) the provision of ILEC Services as conducted on the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing, (y) any similar business conducted by the Transferred Companies prior to the date of this Agreement that would constitute an ILEC Service but for the date restrictions contained in the definition thereof or (z) the Transferred Companies’ historic wireline business conducted within the Territory), and (vi) all Liabilities set forth on Annex 2.3(b), whether incurred before, on or after the Closing, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Liabilities (other than clause (v) of the definition thereof) are not intended to create and expressly exclude any obligation of any member of the Seller Group to assume or be responsible for any Liability related to the infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property rights.
Excluded Liabilities Buyer shall not assume and shall not be responsible to pay, perform or discharge any of the following liabilities or obligations of Seller (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”):
Excluded Assets and Liabilities Notwithstanding that this ------------------------------- Agreement relates to the purchase of capital stock from Seller by Purchaser, which results in the Company retaining any and all of its assets and liabilities, it is understood and agreed that Xxxxxx shall remove from the Company's premises prior to Closing and/or, as appropriate, remove from the Company's books and records, only those particular assets set forth on Schedule 1.3 hereto (the "EXCLUDED ASSETS"). Further, Xxxxxx shall assume any and all liabilities set forth on Schedule 1.3 hereto (the "EXCLUDED LIABILITIES"). Purchaser agrees that it shall cause Xxxxxx and the Company to execute any and all such bills of sale, deeds, assignments and/or agreements as may be necessary to transfer title to the Excluded Assets to Xxxxxx and to assign and/or transfer the Excluded Liabilities to Xxxxxx. The parties hereto further agree that no other assets of the Company, whether tangible or intangible, shall have been or shall be removed from the Company's premises or from the Company's books and records except in the ordinary course of the Company's Business as provided herein from and after December 31, 1995 through the Closing Date.
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”.
Liabilities of Seller All liabilities of Seller related to the Business or the Assets that are not Assumed Liabilities will be promptly paid by Seller as they come due.
Assumption of Assumed Liabilities The Buyer hereby expressly assumes and agrees to pay, perform and discharge in accordance with their terms the Assumed Liabilities.
Retained Liabilities The Retained Liabilities shall remain the sole responsibility of and shall be retained, paid, performed and discharged solely by Seller. “Retained Liabilities” shall mean every Liability of Seller other than the Assumed Liabilities, including:
Assumed Obligations At the Closing, Purchaser shall assume, and agree to satisfy and discharge as the same shall become due, (i) all trade accounts payable and accrued expenses that have been incurred in the ordinary course of Seller's business (excluding, for purposes of clarification and not limitation, any and all professional fees, costs and other expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby after October 31, 2003, all of which shall be governed by Section 14.4 hereof), (ii) Seller's liabilities and other obligations arising subsequent to the Closing under all contracts entered into by Seller in the ordinary course of its business (including open purchase orders) after the date hereof, and (iii) the obligations listed on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto (collectively the "Assumed Obligations"). Except as expressly set forth in this paragraph (c), Purchaser shall not assume or be responsible at any time for any liability, obligation, debt or commitment of Seller, whether absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, or otherwise, including but not limited to any liabilities, obligations, debts or commitments of Seller incident to, arising out of or incurred with respect to, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent contemplated by Section 14.5 hereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall retain, and that Purchaser shall not assume or otherwise be obligated to pay, perform, defend or discharge, (a) any liability of Seller for Taxes, whether measured by income or otherwise, (b) any product liability pertaining to products sold by Seller prior to the Closing Date, (c) any liability or obligation of Seller relating to any default taking place before the Closing Date under any of the Assumed Obligations to the extent such default created or increased the liability or obligation, (d) any obligation of Seller to its shareholders, any Affiliate of Seller or its shareholders, or any Person claiming to have a right to acquire any capital stock or other securities of Seller, or (e) the Distribution Agreement by and between KMS and Seller effective as of September 26, 2002, together with any and all liabilities or obligations (including professional fees) arising out of or relating thereto or to any prior or subsequent agreements between the parties. All obligations which are not Assumed Obligations, including but not limited to the foregoing, are hereinafter referred to as the "Excluded Obligations."
