APA must define Excluded Assets carve-out.

Critical · MNA-021

Assumed Liabilities — defined

APA must define Assumed Liabilities precisely.

Critical · MNA-022

Excluded Liabilities — defined and broad

APA must include a broad Excluded Liabilities clause covering everything not specifically assumed.

Critical · MNA-023

Bulk-sales law treatment

APA should address state bulk-sales law (former UCC Art. 6) where it survives.

Warning · MNA-024

Allocation of purchase price (§ 1060 / Form 8594)

APA must address purchase-price allocation under IRC § 1060.
