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.
Assignment and Assumption of Liabilities Seller hereby assigns to Split-Off Subsidiary, and Split-Off Subsidiary hereby assumes and agrees to pay, honor and discharge all debts, adverse claims, liabilities, judgments and obligations of Seller as of the Effective Time, whether accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether known or unknown, including those arising under any law (including the common law) or any rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity or imposed by any court or any arbitrator in a binding arbitration resulting from, arising out of or relating to the assets, activities, operations, actions or omissions of Seller, or products manufactured or sold thereby or services provided thereby, or under contracts, agreements (whether written or oral), leases, commitments or undertakings thereof, but excluding in all cases the obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documentation (all of the foregoing being referred to herein as the “Assigned Liabilities”). The assignment and assumption of Seller’s assets and liabilities provided for in this Article I is referred to as the “Assignment.”
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.
Assumption and Retention of Liabilities Pinnacle and OpCo intend that all employment-related and, with respect to individual independent contractors or Directors, service-related Liabilities and rights associated with OpCo Participants are to be assumed by OpCo or an OpCo Group member, in each case, except as specifically set forth herein. Accordingly, as of the Time of Distribution, OpCo or another member of the OpCo Group hereby retains or assumes and agrees to pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) all Liabilities and rights arising under or related to the Pinnacle Plans and the OpCo Plans, (ii) all employment or service-related Liabilities (including Liabilities relating to terminations of employment or service and any deemed termination of employment or service) and rights with respect to (A) all OpCo Participants and (B) any individual who is, or was, an individual independent contractor, Director, temporary employee, temporary service worker, consultant, freelancer, agency employee, leased employee, on-call worker, incidental worker, or non-payroll worker or in any other employment or similar relationship primarily connected to Pinnacle, any of its Subsidiaries, OpCo or an OpCo Group member, (iii) all Liabilities resulting from any failure of Pinnacle or a Pinnacle Group member to take any action required by this Agreement to be taken prior to the Time of Distribution, and (iv) any other Liabilities expressly transferred to OpCo or an OpCo Group member under this Agreement. In accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, OpCo shall indemnify and hold harmless Pinnacle and each Pinnacle Group member against any Liabilities or obligations allocated to, or retained or assumed by, OpCo or any member of the OpCo Group pursuant to this Agreement.
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).
Assumption and Satisfaction of Liabilities Except as otherwise specifically set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Distribution Date:
Assumption of Liability Guarantor represents, warrants, covenants, agrees and confirms to Lender that, from and after the date of this Agreement, Guarantor assumes the obligations of the Original Guarantors under the Original Loan Documents, as amended by this Agreement and the other Loan Modification Documents (collectively, referred to herein as the “Obligations”), and agrees to timely pay or perform such Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Accordingly, Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor (a) has previously been supplied with copies of all of the Original Loan Documents, (b) has had full opportunity to review the terms of the Original Loan Documents, and (c) is entering into this Agreement with the full realization and understanding that the Property is subject to the liens and other restrictions, obligations and conditions created by and set forth in the Loan Documents.

Assumption and Retention of Liabilities; Related Assets (a) As of the Distribution Date, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, EWS shall, or shall cause one or more members of the EWS Group to, assume or retain and EWS hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course in full (i) all Liabilities under all EWS Benefit Plans (provided, that as between EWS and SNI, SNI shall be responsible for certain of those Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of this Agreement), (ii) all Liabilities with respect to the employment, retirement, service, termination of employment or termination of service of all EWS Employees, Former EWS Employees, their dependents and beneficiaries and other service providers (including any individual who is, or was, an independent contractor, temporary employee, temporary service worker, consultant, freelancer, agency employee, leased employee, on-call worker, incidental worker, or nonpayroll worker of any member of the EWS Group or in any other employment, non-employment, or retainer arrangement or relationship with any member of the EWS Group), in each case to the extent arising in connection with or as a result of employment with or the performance of services for any member of the EWS Group, and (iii) any other Liabilities expressly assumed by or retained by EWS or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates under this Agreement. For purposes of clarification and the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Liabilities assumed or retained by the EWS Group as provided for in this Section 2.01(a) are intended to be EWS Liabilities as such term is defined in the Separation Agreement, and (y) the Parties intend that such Liabilities assumed or retained by the EWS Group include the retirement benefits and health and welfare plan benefits under the EWS Benefit Plans for all EWS Employees, Former EWS Employees, their dependants, beneficiaries, alternate payees and surviving spouses.
