Expansion of Third Party Rights. The (a)
assumption by the Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities, (b)
transfer thereof by the Company and (c) limitations in the
description of Excluded Liabilities in Section
1.5 shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of any
third party against the Purchaser or the Company as compared to the
rights and remedies such third party would have had against the
Company had the Purchaser not assumed such
liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the
preceding sentence, the assumption by the Purchaser of the Assumed
Liabilities shall not create any third party beneficiary
rights.
1.7 Insurance
Proceeds. If any of the Purchased Assets are destroyed
or damaged or taken in condemnation on or prior to the Closing
Date, the insurance proceeds or condemnation award with respect
thereto shall be a Purchased Asset; provided that, in the event the
destruction, damage or condemnation has a material adverse effect
on the Business and such destroyed, damaged or condemned Purchased
Assets are not capable of being promptly replaced by the Company
prior to the Closing, the Purchaser may, by delivering written
notice to the Company, terminate this Agreement and all
Parties’ obligations and rights hereunder. At the
Closing, the Company shall pay or credit to the Purchaser any such
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received by it on or
prior to the Closing and shall assign to or assert for the benefit
of the Purchaser all of its rights against any insurance companies,
governmental or regulatory authorities and others with respect to
such damage, destruction or condemnation. As and to the
extent that there is available insurance under policies maintained
by the Company and its affiliates, predecessors and successors in
respect of any Assumed Liability, except for any such insurance
proceeds with respect to which the insured is directly or
indirectly self-insured or has agreed to indemnify the insurer, the
Company shall cause such insurance to be applied toward the payment
of such Assumed Liability.
