Non-Assignable Contracts (a) If and to the extent that any NiSource Party is unable to obtain any consent, approval or amendment necessary for the transfer or assignment to any Columbia Party of any Contract or other rights relating to the Columbia Business that would otherwise be transferred or assigned to such Columbia Party as contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, (i) such NiSource Party shall continue to be bound thereby and the purported transfer or assignment to such Columbia Party shall automatically be deemed deferred until such time as all legal impediments are removed and all necessary consents have been obtained and (ii) unless not permitted by the terms thereof or by Law, the Columbia Parties shall pay, perform and discharge fully all of the obligations of the NiSource Parties thereunder from and after the Distribution, or such earlier time as such transfer or assignment would otherwise have taken place, and indemnify the NiSource Parties for all Losses arising out of such performance by such Columbia Party. The NiSource Parties shall, without further consideration therefor, pay and remit to the applicable Columbia Party promptly all monies, rights and other consideration received in respect of such performance. The NiSource Parties shall exercise or exploit their rights and options under all such Contracts and other rights, agreements and documents referred to in this Section 5.1(a) only as reasonably directed by Columbia and at Columbia’s expense. If and when any such consent, approval or amendment shall be obtained or such Contract or other right or agreement shall otherwise become transferable or assignable or be able to be novated, the applicable NiSource Party shall promptly assign or transfer and novate (to the extent permissible) all of its rights and obligations thereunder to the applicable Columbia Party without payment of further consideration, and the Columbia Party shall, without the payment of any further consideration therefor, assume such rights and obligations. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Contract or other right (or the proceeds thereof) pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) is prohibited by Law or the terms thereof, this Section 5.1(a) shall operate to create a subcontract with the applicable Columbia Party to perform each relevant Contract or other right, agreement or document at a subcontract price equal to the monies, rights and other considerations received by the NiSource Parties with respect to the performance by such Columbia Party.
Nonassignable Contracts Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the assignment hereunder by either Seller to Buyer of any Assumed Contract is not permitted or is not permitted without the consent of any other party to such Assumed Contract, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment of any such Assumed Contract if such consent is not given or if such assignment otherwise would constitute a breach of, or cause a loss of contractual benefits under, any such Assumed Contract, and Buyer shall assume no obligations or liabilities under any such Assumed Contract. The Sellers shall advise Buyer in writing on the date hereof with respect to any Assumed Contract which either Seller knows or has substantial reason to believe will or may not be subject to assignment to Buyer hereunder at the Closing. Without in any way limiting the Sellers’ obligation to obtain all consents and waivers necessary for the sale, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Assumed Contracts and the Purchased Assets to Buyer hereunder, if any such consent is not obtained or if such assignment is not permitted irrespective of consent and if the Closing shall occur, the Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer following the Closing Date in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the rights and benefits (subject to the obligations) under any such Assumed Contract, including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer (at Buyer’s cost) of any and all rights of the Sellers against any other party arising out of any breach or cancellation of any such Assumed Contract by such other party and, if requested by Buyer, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyer or as Buyer shall otherwise reasonably require.
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 Seller 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").

Contracts and Agreements The agreements and documents described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement, that have not been so described or filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

Non-Assignable Assets (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Purchased Asset would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority), and such consent, authorization, approval or waiver has not been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof; provided, however, that, subject to Sellers’ compliance with this Section 2.5, the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof. Following the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall use, each at its own cost and expense, commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver, or any release, substitution or amendment required to novate all liabilities and obligations under any and all Assigned Contracts or other liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall be solely responsible for such liabilities and obligations from and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither Sellers nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor. Once such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment is obtained, Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Purchased Asset to which such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration. Applicable Transfer Taxes in connection with such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or license shall be paid by Buyer in accordance with Section 5.2(a) of this Agreement.

Assigned Contracts The Debtor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its material rights and remedies thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtor shall take all action reasonably necessary or appropriate, as determined solely by the Debtor, to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under the Assigned Contracts. The Debtor shall notify the Secured Party in writing, promptly after the Debtor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a claim by it for indemnification under any of the material Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue, as it deems appropriate, such right and report to the Secured Party on all further developments with respect thereto. The Debtor shall remit directly to the Secured Party for application to the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall determine, all amounts received by the Debtor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. If the Debtor shall fail after the Secured Party's demand to pursue diligently any right under the material Assigned Contracts, or an Event of Default then exists, the Secured Party may directly enforce such right in its own or the Debtor's name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Secured Party, shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Secured Party under any Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Debtor shall indemnify, defend and hold the Secured Party harmless from and against all expense (including without limitation Attorney Costs), 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 Debtor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Debtor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All obligations of the Debtor under an Assigned Contract shall be and remain enforceable only against the Debtor and shall not be enforceable against the Secured Party. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Debtor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its material duties and obligations under the Assigned Contracts, and the Secured Party's exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Debtor from any of such duties and obligations. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to perform or fulfill the Debtor's duties or obligations under the 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.
