Shared Contracts Clause Samples

The Shared Contracts clause establishes the terms under which multiple parties jointly enter into and are bound by a single contract. In practice, this clause outlines how responsibilities, rights, and obligations are distributed among the parties, and may specify procedures for decision-making, liability sharing, or dispute resolution. Its core function is to ensure clarity and coordination among all involved parties, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and facilitating effective collaboration under a unified agreement.

Shared Contracts. The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts (and each Party shall cooperate with the other Party) to separate the Shared Contracts into separate Contracts effective as of the Distribution so that from and after the Distribution, Spinco will have the sole benefit and Liabilities with respect to each Shared Contract to the extent related to the Spinco Business and the Harbor Group will have the sole benefit and Liabilities with respect to each Shared Contract to the extent not related to the Spinco Business. Upon such separation of a Shared Contract, the separated Contract that is related to the Spinco Business will be a Spinco Asset and the other separated Contract will be an Excluded Asset. The obligations to separate any Shared Contracts set forth in this Section 2.5 will terminate on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Distribution Date. If any Shared Contract is not separated prior to the Distribution Date, then such Shared Contract shall be governed under Section 2.2, including the Parties agreeing to use reasonable best efforts (and each Party agreeing to cooperate with the other Party) to establish arrangements at no charge to Spinco under which the party which is a party to such Shared Contract will use reasonable best efforts to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder to enable each Group to continue to receive the benefits and assume the obligations, in each case, that it received or assumed prior to the Distribution Date, until such Shared Contract expires in accordance with its terms. Harbor and Spinco shall share equally any and all third party fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ and other third party fees) that may be reasonably required in connection with obtaining, whether before or after the Distribution, any such separation of a Shared Contract. Harbor will use its reasonable best efforts to deliver a list of the Shared Contracts to Voyager as soon as practicable after the date hereof and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date hereof. No member of either Group will amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Shared Contract without the consent of the applicable member of the other Group to the extent such amendment, renewal, extension or modification would adversely affect or impose any material obligations on any member of such other Group.

Buyer acknowledges that Seller shall have no obligations under this Section 6.8 with respect to any Shared Contract that is a Unit Operating Agreement.
