Assumption and Indemnification The General Partner agrees, as of the date of Closing (and, upon the execution and delivery of the Assignments by the Partnership, the General Partner shall be deemed to have agreed), (a) to assume, and to timely pay and perform, all duties, obligations and liabilities relating to the ownership and/or operation of the Properties, whether arising before, on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, those arising under the contracts and agreements described in Article II(c), and (b) to indemnify and hold the Partnership, its partners and its and such partners' parent and subsidiary companies and other affiliates, and its and their respective shareholders, members, owners, directors, officers, managers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) of any kind or character arising out of or otherwise relating to the ownership and/or operation of the Properties, whether arising before, on or after the Effective Date. In connection with (but not in limitation of) the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that matters arising out of or otherwise relating to the ownership and/or operation of the Properties shall include all matters arising out of the condition of the Properties (including, without limitation, within such matters all obligations to properly plug and abandon, or replug and re-abandon, wellx xxxated on the Properties, to restore the surface, and to comply with, or to bring the Properties into compliance with, applicable environmental laws including conducting any remediation activities which may be required on, or otherwise in connection with activities on, the Properties), regardless of when the events occurred which give rise to such condition (AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTNERSHIP, ITS PARTNERS AND ITS AND SUCH PARTNERS' PARENT AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES AND OTHER AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, OWNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, WERE WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE AT FAULT), and the above provided for assumptions and indemnifications by the General Partner shall expressly cover and include such matters so arising out of such condition.
Assumption of Liabilities On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to assume and become responsible for all of the Assumed Liabilities at the Closing. The Buyer will not assume or have any responsibility, however, with respect to any other obligation or Liability of the Seller not included within the definition of Assumed Liabilities.
Assumption and Exclusion of Liabilities (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall assume, and agree to pay, perform and discharge as and when due and owing, only the following Liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”):
Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities (a) On or prior to the Effective Time, but in any case prior to the Distribution, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization:
No Assumption of Liabilities Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, TJC shall not assume any debts, liabilities or obligations of Seller or its Members, shareholders, affiliates, officers, employees or agents of any nature, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, including, but not limited to, debts, liabilities or obligations with regard or in any way relating to any contracts (including, without limitation, any employee agreements), leases for real or personal property, trade payables, tax liabilities, disclosure obligations, product liabilities, liabilities to any regulatory authorities, liabilities relating to any claims, litigation or judgments, any pension, profit-sharing or other retirement plans, any medical, dental, hospitalization, life, disability or other benefit plans, any stock ownership, stock purchase, deferred compensation, performance share, bonus or other incentive plans, or any other similar plans, agreements, arrangements or understandings which Seller, or any of its affiliates, maintain, sponsor or are required to make contributions to, in which any employee of Seller participates or under which any such employee is entitled, by reason of such employment, to any benefits (collectively the (“Excluded Liabilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, any liability under any lease for real property for a Franchise, whether or not assumed by TJC, which relates to the period before Closing, shall be an Excluded Liability.
Novation of Liabilities (a) Each Party, at the request of the other Party, shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law all obligations under Contracts and Liabilities for which a member of such Party’s Group and a member of the other 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 Other Party’s Group which Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement), so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration (or otherwise incur any Liability or obligation) therefor to any third party from whom any such Consent, Governmental Authority, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed or otherwise made whole by the requesting Party).
Indemnification of Lender Borrower agrees to indemnify, to defend and to save and hold Lender harmless from any and all claims, suits, obligations, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Lender's attorneys' fees), demands, liabilities, penalties, fines and forfeitures of any nature whatsoever that may be asserted against or incurred by Lender, its officers, directors, employees, and agents arising out of, relating to, or in any manner occasioned by this Agreement and the exercise of the rights and remedies granted Lender under this, as well as by: (1) the ownership, use, operation, construction, renovation, demolition, preservation, management, repair, condition, or maintenance of any part of the Collateral; (2) the exercise of any of Borrower's rights collaterally assigned and pledged to Lender hereunder; (3) any failure of Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder; and/or (4) any failure of Borrower to comply with the environmental and ERISA obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein. The foregoing indemnity provisions shall survive the cancellation of this Agreement as to all matters arising or accruing prior to such cancellation and the foregoing indemnity shall survive in the event that Lender elects to exercise any of the remedies as provided under this Agreement following default hereunder. Borrower's indemnity obligations under this section shall not in any way be affected by the presence or absence of covering insurance, or by the amount of such insurance or by the failure or refusal of any insurance carrier to perform any obligation on its part under any insurance policy or policies affecting the Collateral and/or Borrower's business activities. Should any claim, action or proceeding be made or brought against Lender by reason of any event as to which Borrower's indemnification obligations apply, then, upon Lender's demand, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall defend such claim, action or proceeding in Borrower's name, if necessary, by the attorneys for Borrower's insurance carrier (if such claim, action or proceeding is covered by insurance), or otherwise by such attorneys as Lender shall approve. Lender may also engage its own attorneys at its reasonable discretion to defend Borrower and to assist in its defense and Borrower agrees to pay the fees and disbursements of such attorneys.
