(c) From and after the Petition Date until the conclusion of the Sale Hearing, Sellers shall have the responsibility and obligation to respond to any inquiries or offers to purchase all or any part of the Business, and perform any and all other acts related thereto which are required or permitted under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Law, including, without limitation, supplying information relating to the Business and the assets of Sellers to prospective purchasers, subject only to the provisions of the Bidding Procedures Order.

(d) If an Auction is conducted, and the Purchaser is not the prevailing party at the conclusion of such Auction (such prevailing party, the “Prevailing Bidder”), the Purchaser shall be required to serve as a back-up bidder (the “Back-up Bidder”) and keep the Purchaser’s bid to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (as the same may be improved upon in the Auction) open and irrevocable until the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern time) on the date which is fifteen (15) days after the date of the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order (the “Outside Back-up Date”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Outside Back-up Date be later than three business days after October 15, 2010 or (ii) the date of closing of an Alternative Transaction with the Prevailing Bidder. Following the Sale Hearing and prior to the Outside Back-up Date, if the Prevailing Bidder fails to consummate the applicable Alternative Transaction as a result of a breach or failure to perform on the part of such Prevailing Bidder, the Back-up Bidder (if the Back-up Bidder is the next highest bidder at the Auction) will be deemed to have the new prevailing bid, and Sellers will be authorized, but not required, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or any action on the part of the Back-up Bidder, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (as the same may be improved upon in the Auction) with the Back-up Bidder.

(e) The Sellers shall promptly serve true and correct copies of the Sale Motion and all related pleadings in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Local Rules for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida and any other applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Sale Order shall, among other things, (a) approve, pursuant to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) the execution, delivery and performance by Sellers of this Agreement, (ii) the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser on the terms set forth herein and free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances included in the Assumed Liabilities and Permitted Encumbrances), and (iii) the performance by Sellers of their respective obligations under this Agreement; (b) authorize and empower Sellers to assume and assign to the Purchaser the Assigned Contracts; and (c) find that Purchaser is a “good faith” buyer within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, not a successor to any Seller and grant the Purchaser the protections of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by Sellers to assist in obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval of the Sale Order, including, without limitation, furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for purposes, among others, of (a) demonstrating that the Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) establishing adequate assurance of future performance within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE XI.

TAXES

11.1 Additional Tax Matters.

(a) Any sales, use, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, use or other Taxes and recording charges which may be payable by reason of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein shall be borne and timely paid by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser), protect, and save and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, charges, interest or penalties assessed, imposed or asserted in relation to any such Taxes.

(b) The Purchaser shall, within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, prepare and deliver to MSN for its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (and any other items that are required for federal income tax purposes to be treated as part of the purchase price) among the Purchased Assets (such schedule, the “Allocation”). If MSN raises any objection to the Allocation within twenty (20) days of the receipt thereof, the Purchaser and MSN will negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection(s). The Purchaser, Sellers and MSN shall report and file all Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns and claims for refund) consistent with the Allocation as finally agreed upon, and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent therewith (including, without limitation, in any audits or examinations by any Governmental Body or any other proceeding) without first giving the other party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser, MSN, or Sellers from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Body based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Purchaser, MSN or Sellers shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Body challenging such Allocation. The Purchaser, Sellers and MSN shall cooperate in the filing of any forms (including Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code) with respect to such Allocation, including any amendments to such forms required pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any adjustment to the Purchase Price. If and to the extent the parties are unable to agree on such Allocation, the parties shall retain a mutually agreed upon accounting firm of national repute to resolve such dispute. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Section 11.1(b) shall survive the Closing without limitation.

ARTICLE XII.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Sellers and the Purchaser shall, subject to Section 12.12 below, bear their own expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

12.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties; Survival of Confidentiality. The parties hereto agree that the representations and warranties, and the covenants and agreements to be performed prior to the Closing, contained in this Agreement shall not survive, and thus shall expire upon, the Closing.

12.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.

No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by applicable Law.

12.4 Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Agreement may be executed (by facsimile or PDF signature) in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

12.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.

Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as provided below. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by Sellers or the Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, that the Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of the Purchaser (subject to the next succeeding sentence).

Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to the Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

12.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in a manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

12.10 Injunctive Relief.

(a) The parties agree that damages at Law may be an inadequate remedy for the breach of any of the covenants, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement by the Sellers, and, accordingly, the Purchaser shall be entitled to injunctive relief with respect to any such breach, including without limitation, specific performance of such covenants, promises or agreements or an order enjoining the Purchaser from any threatened, or from the continuation of any actual, breach of the covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Agreement by the Sellers. The rights set forth in this Section 12.10 shall be in addition to any other rights which the Purchaser may have at Law or in equity pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of fraud by the Purchaser, DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, First Lien Agent or First Lien Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates or subsidiaries, the right of the Sellers to receive the Purchaser Termination Fee as provided in Section 4.6(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sellers against the Purchaser, DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, First Lien Agent and First Lien Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates or subsidiaries for any loss or damage suffered as a result of Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(j), Section 4.4(l) or pursuant to any other provision of Section 4.4 due to the Purchaser’s breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement and the Sellers are explicitly not entitled to (and hereby waive) any other remedy, including specific performance, for damages suffered by the Sellers as a result of the Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

12.11 Non Recourse. Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, advisor, lawyer, agent, representative, incorporator, member, partner or equityholder of any Seller or the Purchaser shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any Seller or the Purchaser under this Agreement or Sellers’ Documents or the Purchaser’s Documents of or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

12.12 No Waiver or Release. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than the Purchaser Termination Fee described in Section 4.6(b) of this Agreement), all terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties contained in the DIP Loan Documents or First Lien Loan Documents, and all rights, powers and remedies of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the First Lien Agent and First Lien Lenders and all of the obligations of the Debtors (as defined in the DIP Loan Documents or First Lien Loan Documents, as applicable) and other Loan Parties (as defined in the DIP Loan Documents or First Lien Loan Documents, as applicable) thereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation to reimburse the First Lien Agent and First Lien Lenders for fees and expenses incurred in connection with preparation and negotiation of this Agreement to the extent set forth therein), are reserved and are not amended, modified, limited or otherwise affected by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

12.13 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the obligations of the parties and with respect to all covenants and conditions to be satisfied by the parties in this Agreement and all documents, acknowledgments and instruments delivered in connection herewith.

12.14 Certain Interpretations.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided, for purposes of this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:

(i) All references in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed to refer to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement.

(vi) Any reference in this Agreement to $ shall mean U.S. dollars.

(vii) Any reference in this Agreement to gender shall include all genders, and words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa.
