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."
Duty Obligations and Liabilities (a) The Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent to exercise any such powers. The Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related Persons shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. In addition, the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the Agent in good faith.
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.

Assets and Liabilities At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of Acquisition Corp. and the Company (collectively, the “Constituent Corporations”); and all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent Corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of the Constituent Corporations on whatever account, as well as all other things in action or belonging to each of the Constituent Corporations, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest shall be thereafter as effectively the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the several and respective Constituent Corporations, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in either of such Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.
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.
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.
No Assumed Obligations Notwithstanding any provision in this Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other writing to the contrary, the Purchaser is purchasing, acquiring and accepting only the Purchased Assets and is not assuming any liability or obligation of the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter (including any liability or obligation of the Seller under the Counterparty Agreement). All such liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain liabilities and obligations of the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates, as the case may be (the “Excluded Liabilities and Obligations”).
Liens and Liabilities Borrower shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Property or the Improvements (collectively, “Property Payables”); provided, however, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event that a mechanic’s or materialman's lien or similar proceeding is filed against the Property, or a claim is filed against Borrower or any Recourse Parties, and Borrower shall contest such lien, proceeding or claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lender’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Lender to protect Lender’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Borrower shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such lien, proceeding or claim as aforesaid, Lender may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date advanced by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Instrument and by all other Documents securing all or any part of the Obligations. Nothing in the Documents shall be deemed or construed as constituting the consent or request by Lender, express or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, mechanic or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any material for any improvement, construction, alteration, or repair of the Property. Borrower further agrees that Lender does not stand in any fiduciary relationship to Borrower. Any contributions made, directly or indirectly, to Borrower by or on behalf of any of its partners, members, principals or any party related to such parties shall be treated as equity and shall be subordinate and inferior to the rights of Lender under the Documents.
No Assumed Liabilities Buyer will not assume any liabilities of ---------------------- Seller or Seller's Operations.
