or the Canada Purchase Agreement or (iii) any claim, litigation or proceeding unrelated to the<br />

Assumed Liabilities, including any Scheduled Matter (collectively, the “Retained Liabilities”).<br />

Seller shall, and shall cause the applicable Seller Parties to, retain and fully pay, perform and<br />

discharge the Retained Liabilities when due without recourse to Buyer or the Buyer Parties.<br />

1.4 Allocation of Purchase Price. A preliminary allocation of the Purchase Price<br />

among the Acquired Assets is set forth on Schedule 1.4. Within forty-five (45) days after the<br />

Initial Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule allocating the Initial Closing<br />

Purchase Price for the Initial Closing Acquired Assets among the Initial Closing Acquired Assets<br />

(such schedule, the “Allocation Schedule”). If within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the<br />

Allocation Schedule, Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer objects to one or more items<br />

reflected on the Allocation Schedule, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve<br />

such dispute. If Buyer and Seller fail to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after<br />

Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice, the parties shall submit the dispute for resolution to the<br />

Accounting Firm for resolution, which resolution shall be set forth in writing and shall be final<br />

and binding upon all Parties. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid fifty<br />

percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer. Seller and Buyer and their Affiliates<br />

shall report, act, and file Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the<br />

Allocation Schedule. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax<br />

Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule unless required to do so<br />

by applicable Legal Requirements. The Canada Purchase Price shall be allocated among the<br />

Canada Acquired Assets in accordance with the Canada Purchase Agreement.<br />

1.5 Procedure for Assignment of Certain Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this<br />

Agreement or the Canada Purchase Agreement to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor the<br />

Canada Purchase Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Acquired<br />

Asset (including any Assumed Contract to be assigned pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement<br />

or the Canada Purchase Agreement) or any claim, right, benefit or obligation thereunder or<br />

resulting therefrom if (a) an assignment or transfer thereof, without the Consent of a third-party<br />

thereto, would constitute a breach or violation thereof or impose a Liability on Seller, the Seller<br />

Parties, Buyer or the Buyer Parties and (b) such Consent is not obtained at or prior to the Initial<br />

Closing or the Canada Closing (as applicable in accordance with Section 2.1) (each, an<br />

“Unassigned Asset”). With respect to each Unassigned Asset, until the earlier of (x) the<br />

expiration, pursuant to the terms thereof, of such Unassigned Asset that is an Assumed Contract<br />

and (y) the eventual assignment or transfer of such Unassigned Asset pursuant hereto or to the<br />

Canada Purchase Agreement:<br />

(a) Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Parties to, hold such Unassigned<br />

Asset for the benefit of Buyer and the Buyer Parties, deal with such Unassigned Asset in<br />

accordance with the reasonable instructions provided by Buyer and use commercially reasonable<br />

efforts to obtain a Consent (to assignment or transfer) from the counterparty to such Unassigned<br />

Asset, and Buyer shall, and shall cause the Buyer Parties to, reasonably cooperate with Seller or<br />

the Seller Parties in doing so; and<br />

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Parties to, use commercially<br />

reasonable efforts to provide Buyer or the Buyer Parties with the benefits and burdens of such<br />
