The ABC process begins when a debtor company signs a contract assigning its assets to a third-party assignee (like Sherwood), which acts as a fiduciary for the company's creditors.
The corporation then signs a long-term contractto buy the solar electric power from the thirdparty at rates that are almost always less than what it would pay its traditional utility.
They are important because they exist, not because we actually expect the thirdpartyto live up to the words in the anti-corruption section of the contract.
Like any other thirdparty practice the SAP division holds a maintenance contract on behalf of customers in which it is allowed to maintain the software of a rival like PeopleSoft.
