(b) All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above and in Schedule 5.15, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Loan Documents); provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Closing Date or, following the Closing Date, prior to the date by which such action is required to be taken by Section 5.15(a), the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.15 (and Schedule 5.15) and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the assets set forth on Schedule 5.15 pursuant to the Security Documents shall be required to be true in all material respects immediately after the actions required to be taken under this Section 5.15 (and Schedule 5.15) have been taken (or were required to be taken), except to the extent any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

From and following the date of this Agreement, Seller and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain any consents or authorizations required under the terms of the Material Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and (ii) prepare the documents to be executed pursuant to Section 2.2(e) as required under the terms of the Material Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction. If, as of Closing (i) any notice has not been given or any authorization or consent has not been obtained under the terms of the Contracts included in the Assets (including as may be required under the terms of the Assumed Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction) or (ii) any conveyance or assignment documents required to vest title to all Owned Real Property and easements in the Company have not been executed prior to Closing, in each case other quitclaim deeds with respect to Owned Office Properties as specifically required to be delivered at Closing in accordance with Section 2.2(e), notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such failure shall not give rise to any right to indemnification under Article IX.
(b) Seller shall (i) for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to, as and when requested by Purchaser, give any notice that has not been given or obtain any authorization or consent that has not been obtained prior to the Closing that is required under the terms of the Contracts included in the Assets (including as may be required under the terms of the Assumed Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction) and (ii) as soon as practicable following Closing (but no more than 90 days following Closing), deliver to Purchaser an accurate list and description of all Owned Real Property and execute and deliver to Purchaser all real estate conveyance documents required to vest title to all Owned Real Property and easements in the Company (to the extent not previously delivered at Closing). Following Closing, until such required notices are given or such required consents are obtained or such documents are executed, Seller agrees to enter into a commercially reasonable alternative arrangement to provide (and cause its Affiliates to provide, as applicable), the Company and Purchaser’s Affiliates with the benefits (e.g., in respect of any applicable Sign Location Lease, the right to operate the Structures on the property covered thereby) to which such notice or consent relates, including by enforcing at the written request of Purchaser (and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) any of the rights under such Contract (including the right of termination); and to the extent the Company (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) receives such benefits (or Seller enforces any rights under such Contract at Purchaser’s written request), Purchaser shall be responsible for the performance of the Seller’s obligations thereunder, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, acting in good faith and in the ordinary course of business. If within the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date (aa) either Party (or their Affiliates) receives written notice from a landowner or counterparty (or counsel for the landowner or counterparty) purporting to terminate a particular Sign Location Lease which is a Material Contract or a Bus Transit Contract, as a result of the failure to obtain a consent required by the terms of such lease or Bus Transit Contract, or (bb) any such landlord or counterparty files suit (or initiates arbitration, if applicable) against either Party (or their respective Affiliates) seeking termination of the applicable Sign Location Lease or Bus Transit Contract, as a result of the failure to obtain a consent required by the terms of such lease or Bus Transit Contract, or (cc) any such landowner or counterparty requires payment of a material sum or some other material concession from the Company in exchange for any such required consent (and in the case of a demand for a material sum of money, where Seller elects to not pay such amount upon request of the Company), then in each such instance, the Company or Purchaser may within ten days following the expiration of such twelve month period (or such later period as provided below) by written notice to Seller either (i) elect to relinquish all of its right, title and interest in and to such Sign Location Lease or Bus Transit Contract, as applicable (and any Assets solely related thereto), to Seller, in which case the Purchaser shall be entitled to a payment from Seller in an amount equal to that portion of the Purchase Price allocable to such item or asset, which shall be based on a multiple equal to the product of 7.1 times net revenues less site lease expense for calendar year 2014; or (ii) elect to retain such rights over the item or asset, in which case there would be no such payment to the Company or Purchaser, as applicable; provided, however, that (x) Purchaser shall upon request by Seller, assist and cooperate with Seller in effecting the commercially reasonable alternative arrangement referred to above and in obtaining the applicable required consent, and (y) before Purchaser shall have the right to exercise its rights under subpart (i) above, Seller shall have the right (at Seller’s sole cost) to defend any such action by a landlord or counterparty and/or to negotiate a settlement and/or cure any alleged breach of the applicable lease or Bus Transit Contract and so long as Seller is diligently doing so, Seller shall have until the expiration of the following periods to cure or settle such matter (i) if Purchaser is still permitted to operate at such location during the pendency of such matter, until such matter is finally adjudicated or (ii) if Purchaser is not permitted to operate at such location during the pendency of such matter and Seller elects not to replace the lost net cash flow at such location during the pendency of such matter, a two (2) month period from the date Purchaser is first not able to operate at such location (provided, further, that, in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, if Purchaser in good faith determines that the Company or Purchaser’s applicable Affiliate could reasonably be expected to be subject to liability to such landlord or counterparty by continuing to operate such asset, Purchaser may require that Seller confirm in writing to Purchaser Seller’s duty to defend and indemnify Purchaser with respect thereto, including but not limited to damages for trespass, where applicable). Purchaser acknowledges that failure to timely notify Seller of such an election in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of such Sign Location Lease or Bus Transit Contract, as applicable and related Assets and a relinquishment of any right to payment from Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts that may become due to Purchaser (or the Company) under this paragraph shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2(c).
(c) As soon as practicable following the Closing (but no later than 90 days following Closing), Seller shall deliver to Purchaser Outdoor Advertising Permit transfer documents as are required to validly and fully transfer and assign all such Permits to the Company (or Purchaser’s designated Affiliate).
