Read a random definition: uti

A quick definition of asset purchase agreement:

An asset purchase agreement is a contract between a seller and a buyer where the seller agrees to sell some or all of their assets to the buyer. The agreement includes details about the sale, such as the price and payment terms, as well as representations and warranties from both parties. It also outlines post-closing obligations, indemnification rules, and termination clauses. Think of it like a special kind of shopping list for businesses!

A more thorough explanation:

An asset purchase agreement is a legal contract between a buyer and a seller. The seller agrees to transfer some or all of the assets of a company to the buyer. This agreement is used when a company wants to sell its assets, but not the entire business.

The agreement includes:

  • A description of the transaction
  • A list of definitions of the words used in the agreement
  • The terms and conditions of the sale, including the purchase price and payment terms
  • The closing terms and conditions
  • The representations and warranties of the seller and buyer
  • Post-closing obligations of the parties
  • The indemnification rules
  • The termination rules
  • Other miscellaneous clauses

For example, if a company wants to sell its manufacturing plant to another company, they would use an asset purchase agreement. The agreement would outline the terms of the sale, including the purchase price and payment terms. It would also include representations and warranties from both parties, such as the legal characteristics of the sold assets. The agreement would also include post-closing obligations, such as a non-compete clause.

An asset purchase agreement is also known as an APA.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
