If Buyer and/or the Merger Subs merges into, consolidates with or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another Person or liquidates, dissolves or winds up its operations, then and in each such case, Buyer and/or the Merger Subs, as the case may be, shall make proper provision so that the surviving or resulting entity or the transferee in such transaction assumes the obligations of the Buyer and/or the Merger Subs under this Section 9.15.

The provisions of this Section 9.15 shall be in addition to any other rights available to the Company Indemnified Parties, shall survive the Closing, and are expressly intended for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties.
