SECTION 5.02. Sufficient Funds. On or before August 15, 1998,
----------------
Purchaser will have sufficient funds, under binding financing commitments and/or
from Purchaser's cash on-hand, which will fully enable Purchaser to purchase the
Assets and to assume the Liabilities pursuant to this Agreement. No condition
(contractual or otherwise) will exist to prevent Purchaser from applying

SECTION 6.02. Exclusivity. From and after the date hereof through
-----------
and including the earlier of the date of the closing of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement and the date on which this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Article VIII (the "Exclusivity Period"), no Seller shall

the identify of the person or entity) of any such inquiry or proposal, and (z)
if the inquiry or proposal is in writing, deliver or cause to be delivered to
Purchaser a copy of such inquiry or proposal. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Competing Transaction" shall mean the sale of any of the Assets to a Person or
Persons other than Purchaser, in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, and the entering into of leasing transactions as contemplated by
the Master Lease. Upon expiration of the Exclusivity Period, each Seller and
their respective Employees and Representatives may initiate or solicit the
making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead
to, any Competing Transaction, without further restriction under this Section
6.02.
SECTION 6.03. Competing Bids.
--------------
(a) On or before August 7, 1998 (the "Bidding Deadline"), third
parties may submit proposals for Competing Transactions ("Competing Bids"),
which proposals shall be delivered to such Seller and such other parties as may
be specified in the Procedures Order. In order for any Seller to
23
consider any Competing Bid, the Competing Bid must be: (i) in writing; (ii)
identical in all material respects to the terms set forth in this Agreement
(except that no other Person shall be entitled to the Purchaser's Liquidated
Damages or to the expense reimbursement provided for in Section 6.05), the
Ancillary Agreements and the Master Lease; (iii) accompanied by a deposit in
cash or collected funds in the amount of $5,000,000 to be held by Seller; (iv)
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Seller, in its sole discretion that the
bidder has sufficient financial resources to complete the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) reflect a cash purchase price of at
least $178,000,000. If more than one Competing Bid is made before the Bidding
Deadline, Sellers shall determine the Competing Bid that provides the greatest
value to, and is in the best interests of the estate, which bid shall be the
"Qualifying Competing Bid" for purposes of clauses (b) and (c) below.
(b) Within five (5) calendar days after the Bidding Deadline,
MobileMedia Communications on behalf of Sellers will promptly notify Purchaser
and shall indicate in such notice the terms of the Qualifying Competing Bid,
including the identity of the third party submitting the Qualifying Competing
Bid (the "Qualifying Competing Bidder") and the consideration offered by the
Qualifying Competing Bidder (a "Competing Bid Notice"). Upon delivery of a
Competing Bid Notice, Purchaser shall have the right (a "Topping Right") to
deliver to Sellers, within [five (5)] calendar days following the receipt by
Purchaser of such Competing Bid Notice, a written offer (a "Topping Offer") to
amend the terms of this Agreement in order to provide for a Purchase Price
exceeding the Qualifying Competing Bid. A Topping Offer shall exceed the
Qualifying Competing Bid by a minimum of $500,000.
(c) In the event that Purchaser exercises such Topping Right, Sellers
shall disclose such Topping Offer to the Qualifying Competing Bidder and, within
three (3) calendar days following receipt by Sellers of Purchaser's notice of
Topping Offer, Purchaser and Sellers shall enter into an amendment to this
Agreement to reflect Sellers' acceptance of Purchaser's Topping Offer, unless,
within such three (3) day period, the Qualifying Competing Bid is increased to
exceed the Topping Offer by a minimum of $500,000, in which event Purchaser may
again exercise its Topping Right. If, however, within the time period specified
in clause (b) of this Section 6.03, Purchaser has failed to make a Topping Offer
or has notified Sellers in writing that it does not intend to make a Topping
Offer, Sellers may enter into a definitive agreement with the Qualifying
Competing Bidder and Sellers' only obligation to Purchaser shall be the payment
of Purchaser's Liquidated Damages as set forth in Section 6.04 and the return of
the Deposit as provided for in Section 8.01(b).
24
(d) Following the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
pursuant to subsection (c) above, unless specifically amended in such
amendments, the provisions of this Article VI shall remain in effect and the
receipt by Seller of any other offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any
Competing Bid shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VI.
SECTION 6.04. Purchaser's Liquidated Damages. In the event this
------------------------------
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b) and Purchaser has not
breached this Agreement, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser, upon the earlier to
occur of (i) December 1, 1998 and (ii) the closing of a Competing Transaction,
an amount equal to $5,000,000 ("Purchaser's Liquidated Damages"). The parties
acknowledge that any damages to Purchaser arising from a termination of this
Agreement are not reasonably ascertainable and cannot be calculated with any
degree of certainty. Therefore, the parties have agreed that Purchaser's
Liquidated Damages are necessary and appropriate to compensate Purchaser for the
actual damages expected to result from out-of-pocket expenses, the payment of
commitment fees for financing, professional fees and expenses, and likely
opportunity costs to be incurred by Purchaser.
SECTION 6.05. Expense Reimbursement. In the event this Agreement is
---------------------
terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or (d) and Section 8.03,
Seller shall pay to Purchaser, within 10 business days after the effectiveness
of such termination, an amount equal to the reasonable expenses actually
incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the Master Lease and the Ancillary Documents, which expenses shall be
evidenced by invoices or other documentation delivered to Seller together with
the Termination Notices, and which may include, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses, commitment or other financing
fees and fees relating to title reports or surveys.
ARTICLE VII

SECTION 7.01. Conduct of the Business Pending Closing. Each Seller

otherwise agreed to by Purchaser, or (z) otherwise required by the Bankruptcy
Court or resulting from the Bankruptcy Proceedings:

of its business, consistent with past practice as a debtor-in-possession;
25
(ii) such Seller will not encumber the Assets with any Liens except
for Liens incurred in the ordinary course of its business or with Permitted
Liens or Liens in favor of the Pre-Petition Lenders or the DIP Lenders (and any
such Liens in favor of the Pre-Petition Lenders or DIP Lenders shall not survive
the Closing);
(iii) such Seller will not amend, in any material respect, any
Revenue Leases or Ground Leases, except for amendments in the ordinary course of
its business, and, without limiting the foregoing, the extension or renewal of
any Revenue Leases or Ground Leases shall not be deemed to be an amendment for

Sellers, all rent and related payments that Purchaser receives or collects from
Tenants under the Revenue Leases regarding rent relating to any period (or
portion thereof) preceding the Closing Date. Such rent shall include the
application of any guarantee payments, indemnities, setoffs or similar payments
or recoveries that are applied to rent. The parties agree that all such payments

within sixty (60) days preceding such rent receipt date, first applied to rent

(40) -day period, (iii) next, to unpaid rent that has been due more than sixty
(60) days preceding such rent receipt date, first applied to rent that is most
remotely in arrears, and (iv) then, to rent coming due more than forty (40) days
after such rent receipt date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.07(a), Purchaser shall be entitled to all rent under the Revenue
Leases which comprises rental payments relating to any period (or portion
thereof) on or after the Closing Date ("Post-Closing Period Revenue Leases
Prepaid Rent"), and Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing by payment of
an amount equal to any Post-Closing Period Revenue Leases Prepaid Rent.
(b) Sellers shall be responsible for paying all rent under the Ground
Leases relating to any period (or portion thereof) which ends on or prior to the

responsible for taxes relating to the Assets regarding any period (or portion
thereof) which ends on or prior to the date immediately preceding the Closing
Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for all taxes relating to the Assets
regarding any period (or portion thereof) on or after the Closing Date.
SECTION 7.08. Certain Seller Undertakings Regarding Ground Leases,

requesting the execution and delivery thereof: (i) a landlord estoppel agreement
(the "Estoppel Agreement"), substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, and
(ii) a memorandum of lease ("Memorandum of Lease"), substantially in the form of
Exhibit E hereto (subject to the final sentence of this Section 7.08(a)). Such
Seller shall not
30
be responsible for any recordation costs or related fees with respect to any
Memorandum of Lease. Such Seller will forward to Purchaser any Estoppel
Agreement and Memorandum of Lease that have been so executed and delivered by
such lessor and returned to such Seller. The parties acknowledge and agree that
(x) no Seller makes any representation or warranty as to whether any lessor will
so execute and deliver any Estoppel Agreement or Memorandum of Lease, (y) no
Seller shall have further responsibility in attempting to obtain the execution
and delivery thereof, and (z) Purchaser shall not be entitled to exclude any
Towers at a Leased Site from the Assets, and no Seller shall have any other
liability or responsibility, solely because of such Seller's failure to deliver
an executed and delivered Estoppel Agreement or Memorandum of Lease from the
lessor at such Site. Sellers and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in
connection with modifying the forms of Estoppel Agreement and Memorandum of
Lease as appropriate for specific Sites.
(b) On or prior to the Closing, the applicable Seller shall provide
to Purchaser, at such Seller's reasonable expense as to the items listed in
clauses (i) through (iii) and (v) below, the following affidavits and
undertakings, each in form acceptable to such Seller in its reasonable
discretion, to the extent that the same are required by Purchaser's title
insurance company, if Purchaser elects to purchase owner's and/or leasehold
title insurance policies, as the case may be (written on ALTA Form B-1970, if
available in the applicable jurisdictions), for each of the Sites: (i)
affidavits regarding parties in possession of the real property, (ii) affidavits
certifying as to matters that would give rise to the filing of a mechanic's or
materialman's lien, (iii) so-called "gap" undertakings, (iv) such other
documents that a title company customarily requests from an owner of real
property which are necessary either to allow the deed or Memorandum of Lease to
be recorded or to remove standard preprinted exceptions regarding factual
matters (provided that the same can be furnished at no additional expense to any
Seller), and (v) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and the title
company that the Persons executing closing documents on behalf of such Seller
have appropriate right, power and authority to do so. Any such title insurance
policies shall be subject only to Permitted Liens. In furtherance of this
Section 7.08(b) the applicable Seller will provide to Purchaser copies of any or
all of the following items for each of the Sites which may then be in the
possession of such Seller or any of its a wholly-owned subsidiaries, and which

(1) title reports, commitments and policies, (2) surveys, and (3) zoning
reports.
(c) If Purchaser elects to order a current survey (the "Survey") of
any Site that any Seller owns, leases, or subleases
31
and which is included in the Assets, such Seller shall cooperate in all
commercially reasonable respects with Purchaser's reasonable requests to obtain,
at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, any such current survey. If the Survey
shall disclose any defect(s) or encroachment(s) from or onto the Site that has
not been cured, or will not be insured over by Purchaser, and such defect(s) or
encroachment(s), in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the value
of the Site in question, then Seller and Purchaser shall in good faith attempt
to correct such defect consistent with the provisions of Section 7.09(b),
including the limitation on the obligation to expend funds set forth therein.
SECTION 7.09. Certain Post-Closing Obligations.
--------------------------------
(a) For a period of four (4) months following the Closing Date,
Seller shall make Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx available on a substantially full-time basis
to assist Purchaser regarding any Purchaser efforts to negotiate renewals or
extensions of Ground Leases, to the extent that Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx is an employee
of Seller during such period (at no cost to Purchaser). If Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx is
not an employee of Seller during such period, Seller's obligation under this
Section 7.09(a) shall apply to any employee of Seller who succeeds to Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx'x duties and responsibilities (at no cost to Purchaser); provided,
--------

on which Purchaser or its Affiliates hire Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx as an employee or
consultant. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not making any
representation or warranty or agreement under this Section 7.09(a) that Seller
will retain Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx as an employee or consultant at any time following
the date hereof through the four (4)-month anniversary of Closing Date.
(b) Without limiting each Seller's obligations under Section 7.10,
each Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, and each Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts, to cure any breaches of such Seller's
representations and warranties in Section 4.02 regarding title defects, and to
correct Survey defects pursuant to Section 7.08(c); provided that Purchaser
--------
acknowledges and agrees that this Section 7.09(b) shall not be construed as
obligating any Seller to expend any funds or to incur any expenses in connection
with any such cure or correction.
(c) In the event that any Seller is unable to convey good title to
any Real Property (or portion thereof) to Purchaser, such Seller and Purchaser
shall in good faith attempt to implement a commercially reasonable and feasible
arrangement that will provide Purchaser with a non-fee ownership possessory
interest to such Real Property (or portion thereof).
32
(d) Purchaser and Sellers shall amend Schedule I, from time to time,
to include the legal descriptions of any Site that is in such party's

anniversary of the date of the Master Lease), or are unable to cure certain
title defects for any owned Site. The Master Lease, in Section 11, contemplates
certain procedures and obligations of Lessee regarding the "overloading" of any
Tower.

obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals and to effect all necessary
filings and notices including, but not limited to: (i) obtaining the Order, and
(ii) Purchaser making all applicable filings with the FCC as contemplated by

either prior to or after the Closing (subject to the provisions hereof
concerning responsibility for costs and expenses)to execute and deliver other
documents and take other actions as the other party may reasonably request which
are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

---------------
this Section 7.11, each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify, protect

notice (a "Claim Notice") to the party obligated to provide indemnification to
such Indemnified Party (the "Indemnitor") describing in reasonable detail the
facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include
in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of
the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or
any Ancillary Agreement upon which such claim is based; provided, however, that

--------
such proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense. The parties
hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense,
negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. To the
extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, and

amount of the aggregate Losses arising under Sections 7.11(a)(i) and 7.11(a)(ii)
from the same or different facts exceeds $1,000,000 (in which event the entire
amount of such indemnifiable claims arising under Sections 7.11(a)(i) or
7.11(a)(ii) may be recovered, subject to Section 7.11(g)). Purchaser shall not
be required to indemnify any Seller Group Member for any claims arising under
