All Cure Costs in respect of Assumed Contracts shall be borne by Purchaser, except that Cummings 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 earnest 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.
