Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Marketing for pension sector
German term or phrase: gegenüberstehen
ABC beabsichtigt die Kosten fuer die Loesung nach Massgabe dieser Zusatzvereinbarung zu ubernehmen, >, und damit den entsprechenden Aufwand zu tragen.

This is from an extra of a contract in an email. It is from an 'Einbringungsvertrag".

The first part is clear but that between , especially the phrase starting dem.

Any suggestions for this bit gratefully received.

Thanks
