To the extent any Transferred Contract is subject to a Cure Claim, the Sellers shall pay such Cure Claim directly to the applicable counterparty. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyers shall only assume, and shall only be responsible for, Contracts designated by them as Transferred Contracts.
