Upon the execution and delivery of the Asset Purchase Agreement, FBC and PCC shall perform their respective obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, filing and prosecuting an appropriate application for FCC consent to the assignment of the FCC Licenses from FBC to PCC (the "FCC Consent").
