Subsidiary hereby assumes and shall perform, pay and discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Subsidiary or its affiliates from contesting at its cost in good faith any of the Assumed Liabilities with any third-party obligee.
3. No Representation or Warranty. The Assignment is made by the Company without recourse and without any express or implied representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever, including with regards to the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities transferred to Subsidiary.

Subsidiary hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, charges, and expenses in the enforcement of this indemnity), as well as any and all current or future obligations, of whatever any kind or nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, determined, determinable, disclosed, known or unknown, or otherwise) directly or indirectly resulting from, relating to or arising out of the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Assignment, whether or not based on an event occurring (or alleged to have occurred) or a condition arising before or after the Effective Date.
5. Further Assurances. The Company and Subsidiary agree to execute any and all documents and instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or novation and to perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary or expedient to further the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
