Retained Assets (a) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), all of Seller's right, title and interest in the following properties, assets and rights shall be excluded from the Assets (collectively, the "Retained Assets"):
Shared Contracts (a) Except as set forth on Schedule VIII, the Parties shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Groups to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to work together (and, if necessary and desirable, to work with the third party to such Shared Contract) in an effort to divide, partially assign, modify or replicate (in whole or in part) the respective rights and obligations under and in respect of any Shared Contract, such that (a) a member of the SpinCo Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to that portion of such Shared Contract relating to the SpinCo Business (the “SpinCo Portion”), which rights shall be a SpinCo Asset and which obligations shall be a SpinCo Liability, and (b) a member of the Nuance Group is the beneficiary of the rights and is responsible for the obligations related to such Shared Contract not relating to the SpinCo Business (the “Nuance Portion”), which rights shall be a Nuance Asset and which obligations shall be a Nuance Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the division, partial assignment, modification or replication of a Shared Contract unless and until any necessary Consents are obtained or made, as applicable. If the Parties, or their respective Group members, as applicable, are not able to enter into an arrangement to formally divide, partially assign, modify or replicate such Shared Contract prior to the Distribution as contemplated by the previous sentence, then the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Group members to, cooperate in any reasonable and permissible arrangement to provide that, following the Distribution, a member of the SpinCo Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the SpinCo Portion under such Shared Contract and a member of the Nuance Group shall receive the interest in the benefits and obligations of the Nuance Portion under such Shared Contract, it being understood that no Party shall have Liability to the other Party for the failure of any third party to perform its obligations under any such Shared Contract.
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”):
Transferred Contracts As of the date hereof, except for Excluded Contracts, the Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(bbbb) are all of the Contracts between Seller and any third party. Except for copies of purchase orders entered into by Seller in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices that have not been provided to Buyer, true and complete copies of all Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(bbbb) (including all amendments, schedules and exhibits thereto) have been delivered to Buyer. Each Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement is in full force and effect and Seller is not in breach thereof, nor to Seller’s Knowledge is any party obligated to Seller pursuant to any such Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement in breach thereof. Seller has neither breached, violated nor defaulted under, nor received notice that Seller has breached, violated or defaulted under, any of the terms or conditions of any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement. Seller has obtained, or will obtain prior to the Closing, all necessary consents, waivers and approvals of parties to any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement as are required thereunder in connection with the Closing, or for any such Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement to remain in full force and effect without limitation, modification or alteration after the Closing. Following the Closing, Buyer will be permitted to exercise all of the rights Seller had under the Transferred Contracts without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which Seller would otherwise be required to pay pursuant to the terms of such Transferred Contracts had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements not occurred. Seller has not received any notice regarding any actual, alleged, possible or potential violation or breach of, or default under, any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement. Seller has not waived any right under any Transferred Contract. To the Knowledge of Seller, each Person against whom Seller has or may acquire any rights under any Transferred Contract is able to satisfy all of such Person’s current and future monetary obligations and other obligations and liabilities thereunder. No Person is renegotiating, or has the right to renegotiate, any amount paid or payable to Seller or owed by Seller under any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement or any other term or provision of any Transferred Contract or Lease Agreement. Seller has not guaranteed or otherwise agreed to cause, insure or become liable for, nor pledged any of its assets to secure, the performance or payment of any obligation or other liability of any other Person.
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:
Employee Benefit Plans; Existing Agreements (a) Following the Effective Time, the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Employees”) shall be eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, including severance plans (each a “Parent Plan”), of Parent or its Subsidiaries in which similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries participate, to the same extent that similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries participate; provided, however, that, in the case of all benefits then provided to the Company Employees, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent may instead provide such employees with participation in the employee benefit plans of the Company in which they participated immediately prior to the Effective Time (it being understood that inclusion of Company Employees in Parent’s employee benefit plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). From and after the Effective Time, Parent may elect not to provide to the Company Employees any benefits which are not then provided by Parent and its Subsidiaries to their employees notwithstanding that such benefits were provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to their employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the case of benefits which are provided at the Effective Time by Parent to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries but are not then provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to their employees, Parent will as soon as possible, and in all events within one year, after the Effective Time include the Company Employees in the plans under which such benefits are made available.
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.
Budgets and Leasing Plans On or before November 15 of each calendar year, the Manager shall prepare and submit to the Owner for its approval an operating budget (a “Budget”) and a marketing and leasing plan (a “Plan”) on the Properties for the calendar year immediately following such submission. Each Budget and Plan shall be in the form approved by the Owner prior to the date thereof. As often as reasonably necessary during the period covered by any Budget or Plan, the Manager may submit to the Owner for its approval an updated Budget or Plan incorporating such changes as shall be necessary to reflect cost overruns and the like during such period. If the Owner does not disapprove a Budget or Plan within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by the Owner, such Budget or Plan shall be deemed approved. If the Owner shall disapprove any Budget or Plan, it shall so notify the Manager within said thirty (30) day period and explain the reasons therefor. The Manager will not incur any costs other than those estimated in an approved Budget except for:
Other Plans and Agreements Any payment received by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall not be taken into account as compensation in the determination of the Participant’s benefits under any pension, savings, life insurance, severance or other benefit plan maintained by Verizon or a Related Company. The Participant acknowledges that this Agreement or any prior RSU agreement shall not entitle the Participant to any other benefits under the Plan or any other plans maintained by the Company or a Related Company.
Assigned Contracts The Grantor shall fully perform all of its obligations under each of the Assigned Contracts, and shall enforce all of its rights and remedies thereunder, in each case, as it deems appropriate in its business judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor shall take all action necessary or appropriate to permit, and shall not take any action which would have any materially adverse effect upon, the full enforcement of all indemnification rights under its Assigned Contracts. The Grantor shall notify the Lender in writing, promptly after the Grantor becomes aware thereof, of any event or fact which could give rise to a material claim by it for indemnification under any of its material Assigned Contracts, and shall diligently pursue such right and report to the Lender on all further developments with respect thereto. The Grantor shall deposit into a Deposit Account at the Lender or subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement for application to the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, all amounts received by the Grantor as indemnification or otherwise pursuant to its Assigned Contracts. If the Grantor shall fail after the Lender’s demand to pursue diligently any right under its material Assigned Contracts, or if a Default then exists, the Lender may directly enforce such right in its own or the Grantor’s name and may enter into such settlements or other agreements with respect thereto as the Lender shall determine. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Lender under any material Assigned Contract for any sum owing thereunder or to enforce any provision thereof, the Grantor shall indemnify and hold the Lender and Lender harmless from and against all expense, 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 Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing from the Grantor to or in favor of such obligor or its successors. All such obligations of the Grantor shall be and remain enforceable only against the Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the Lender. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Grantor shall at all times remain liable to observe and perform all of its duties and obligations under its Assigned Contracts, and the Lender’s exercise of any of its rights with respect to the Collateral shall not release the Grantor from any of such duties and obligations. The Lender shall not be obligated to perform or fulfill any of the Grantor’s duties or obligations under its 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.
