Section 2.7. Procedures for Assumption of Agreements. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of

Bankruptcy Code, Seller shall assign and Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Contracts, subject to
provision of adequate assurance as may be required under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and
payment of the Cure Costs in respect of the Assumed Contracts. All Cure Costs in respect of
Assumed Contracts shall be borne by Purchaser, except that Xxxxxxxx Lease Cure Amounts, if any,
shall be paid by Seller.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement
shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer and shall not effect the assignment or
transfer of any Included Asset if (a) an attempted assignment thereof, without the approval,
authorization or consent of, or granting or issuance of any license or permit by, any third party
thereto (each such action, a “Necessary Consent”), would constitute a breach thereof or in
any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser thereunder and (b) the Bankruptcy Court shall not
have entered an Order providing that such Necessary Consent is not required under applicable Law.
In such event, Seller will use their best efforts to obtain the Necessary Consents, at their cost
and expense, with respect to any such Included Asset or any claim or right
or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Purchaser as Purchaser may
8
reasonably request. To the extent that Seller cannot obtain such Necessary Consent prior to
Closing, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate such Included Asset
as an “Excluded Asset” hereunder, with a corresponding reduction in Cash Purchase Price as mutually
agreed upon by the Parties, in which event (and only in which event) such Consent shall not be
deemed a Necessary Consent for purposes of the condition set forth in Section 6.1(e). Once Consent
for the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of any such asset not sold, transferred,
assigned, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall promptly transfer, assign,
convey and deliver such asset to Purchaser at no additional cost; provided, however, that if the
Seller fails to obtain such Consent, Seller shall remit to Purchaser an amount equal to the
reduction in Cash Purchase Price that would have been required at Closing if the Purchaser had
elected to designate such Included Asset as an Excluded Asset. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Section 2.7(a), the condition set forth in Section 6.1(e) shall apply to all
Necessary Consents.
(c) If following the Closing, Seller receives or becomes aware that it holds any asset,
property or right which constitutes an Included Asset, then Seller shall transfer such asset,
property or right to Purchaser as promptly as practicable for no additional consideration.
(d) If following the Closing, Purchaser receives or becomes aware that it holds any asset,
property or right which constitutes an Excluded Asset, then Purchaser shall transfer such asset,
property or right to Seller as promptly as practicable for no additional consideration.
Section 2.8. Purchase Price Deposit.
(a) As of the date hereof, Purchaser has deposited with the Escrow Holder, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, as an xxxxxxx good-faith money deposit and security for the
performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, an amount equal to One Hundred
Thousand Dollars and no cents ($100,000.00) (the “Purchase Price Deposit”).
(b) At the Closing, the Purchase Price Deposit shall be credited and applied toward the Cash
Purchase Price in accordance with Section 7.3.
Section 2.9. Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price (and all other
capitalizable costs) will be allocated for Tax purposes (the “Allocation”) among the
Included Assets in accordance with IRC Section 1060 as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and
Seller. Purchaser shall submit a proposed allocation to Seller not more than thirty (30) days
after the Closing and Seller shall agree to such proposed allocation unless such allocation is in
violation of IRC Section 1060. The Parties shall report, act and file Tax Returns (including, but
not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent
with the agreed upon Allocation. No Party hereto shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax
Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation unless required to do so by
applicable Law.
Section 2.10. Accounts Receivable. During the Collection Period, Purchaser shall make
reasonable efforts to collect the Accounts Receivable on behalf of Seller, including by taking such
actions as are requested by Seller and which constitute the normal and ordinary course in which
Seller has collected its receivables prior to the Closing Date; provided, however that Seller
may continue to take any actions it deems reasonably necessary to collect the Accounts
9
Receivable (it being understood that such actions shall include, but not be limited to, all actions
which would constitute the normal and ordinary course of Seller prior to the Closing Date). Within
five (5) days after the end of each calendar month in the Collection Period, Purchaser shall
furnish Seller with a list of the amounts collected during such period with respect to the Accounts
Receivable, and Purchaser shall pay over to Seller such collected amounts in full. Any payment
received by the Purchaser during the Collection Period from any account debtor owing on any of the
Accounts Receivable shall first be applied in reduction of the oldest outstanding balance due from
such account debtor. Purchaser agrees not to encourage or induce any account debtor to delay or
reduce the payment of any Accounts Receivable. Upon the expiration of the Collection Period, all
Accounts Receivable which then remain uncollected shall be deemed assigned to Purchaser and Seller
shall have no further rights, obligation or liability with respect thereto and Seller shall not
make any representation regarding any such Accounts Receivable.

the Included Assets as Purchaser deemed commercially reasonable, necessary and appropriate and that
in proceeding with its acquisition of the Included Assets, Purchaser is doing so based solely upon

and warranties set forth in Article III (which do not survive the Closing Date), Purchaser will
accept the Included Assets at the Closing “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” Without
limiting the generality of the immediately foregoing, except for the representations and warranties
specifically contained in Article III, Seller hereby expressly disclaims and negates any

to issue such press release or make such announcement which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
Section 5.8. Certain Matters Relating to Seller Employees.

to whom Purchaser will offer employment on such terms and conditions as Purchaser will determine.
Any Seller Employee who accepts an offer of employment with the Purchaser and actually commences
employment with the Purchaser as of the day following the Closing

paying to Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal to all such Employee Related
Liabilities upon receipt from Seller of an invoice for such amount. Purchaser shall indemnify
Seller for any and all costs, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by Seller or its Affiliates due to a breach of this Section 5.8(d).

other to provide all necessary or appropriate documents, records, materials, accounting files and
Tax information with respect to any Seller Transferred Employee.

otherwise consents, during the period prior to the Closing Date, subject to the Orders and
direction of the Bankruptcy Court, Seller shall, taking into account the current operating status
of the Included Assets, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve the Included
Assets.
Section 5.10. Destruction of Xxxxxxx Facility Media. Seller shall promptly arrange
for the prompt destruction of all Xxxxxxx Facility Media, and shall provide Purchaser with a
certification thereof within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date.

whatsoever that are used solely and exclusively in Seller’s Business (other than assets that, if
owned by Seller, would be Excluded Assets), whether real or personal, tangible or intangible,
16
vested or unvested, contingent or otherwise, wherever located, and all goodwill associated
therewith and (ii) provide evidence of such transfers, conveyances and deliveries to Purchaser.

deemed a waiver of each breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the other party and
of such party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto;

hereunder which it has failed to perform so that Closing may proceed (it being acknowledged and

the Purchase Price Deposit (as provided in Section 9.2). NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THE AGREEMENT
