such actions as are reasonably requested by the other party to assist in

and the Bankruptcy Rules, including furnishing affidavits, testimony or other
documents or information for filing with or presentation to the Bankruptcy Court
for purposes, among others, of demonstrating that Buyer is a "good faith" Buyer
under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller shall (a) take, or cause to

things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law or otherwise to
consummate the Transaction and (b) promptly confer with all appropriate federal,
state and local regulators to obtain their support for the Transaction, if

give Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business
hours to the offices, properties, officers, employees, accountants, auditors,
counsel and other representatives, books and records of Seller, including
without limitation all books, records, files and papers, whether in hard copy or
electronic format, relating primarily to the Contracts, the Machinery and

except as necessary for the Chapter 11 Case, and except for information which
(i) is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of a
disclosure by the Buyer), (ii) becomes available on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than the Seller or one of its representatives which the
Buyer reasonably believes is entitled to disclose it, (iii) was developed by or
