I agree. That example is not a good fit. I have moved the flag to another sentence.

  Comments:
a little hard to make a clear distinction between the two. the 
definitions are slightly different in each source (新和英中辞典 
puts "to undertake" in the 2nd sense, daijs 2 is "責任を持って引き
受ける。" while daijr's is "返済などの義務を負う。")

Hi, I suppose "to assure" is not a million miles from "to contract; to undertake", but nevertheless the first impression is that the definition does not really match the example sentence.
