Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365, a debtor or bankruptcy trustee has the option, subject to court approval, of electing one of the following three alternatives with respect to an executory contract: (a) assuming the contract, (b) assuming and assigning the contract to a third party, or (c) rejecting the contract. Assumption of the contract, or assumption and assignment results in the agreement remaining in effect post-bankruptcy.
