(a) cash in the amount of the Cash Consideration; plus

(b) a credit against an amount of debt under the Credit Facilities held by Buyer equal to the lesser of (x) the Estimated Credit Bid Consideration and (y) the amount of debt under the Credit Facilities held by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code; plus or minus

(c) the amount, if any, of the difference between the Final Credit Bid Consideration and the Estimated Credit Bid Consideration, which amount shall be added to, or subtracted from, the purchase price in accordance with Section 3.3; plus

Section 3.3 Consideration Adjustment.

(a) At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement consisting of Sellers’ good faith estimate of (a) the aggregate Inventory Value and Petty Cash for the Acquired Stores and (b) the amount of the Assumed Consumer Liabilities and a calculation of estimated Credit Bid Consideration based thereon and Section 7.10 (the “Estimated Credit Bid Consideration”), together with reasonable evidence supporting such good faith estimate.

(b) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement setting forth (a) the aggregate Inventory Value and Petty Cash for the Acquired Stores and (b) the amount of the Assumed Consumer Liabilities and a calculation of Credit Bid Consideration based thereon, together with reasonable evidence supporting such statement. Such statement shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Sellers and Buyer on the 30^th day following Sellers’ receipt of such statement, unless prior to such 30^th day Sellers deliver to Buyer a written notice disputing the aggregate Inventory Value or Petty Cash for the Acquired Stores or the amount of the Assumed Consumer Liabilities in such statement and setting forth the amount that Sellers believe represent (a) the aggregate Inventory Value and Petty Cash for the Acquired Stores and (b) the amount of the Assumed Consumer Liabilities and a calculation of Credit Bid Consideration based thereon. If Sellers deliver such a dispute notice, then Buyer and Sellers shall seek in good faith to agree upon the amount of (a) the aggregate Inventory Value and Petty Cash for the Acquired Stores and (b) the amount of the Assumed Consumer Liabilities and a calculation of Credit Bid Consideration based thereon during the ten-day period beginning on the date Buyer receives such dispute notice. If such an agreement cannot be reached during such ten-day period, then, within ten days thereafter, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall jointly engage and submit the unresolved dispute to a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm appointed by mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers, or, if they are unable to agree, selected by the Bankruptcy Court. Buyer and Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such firm to issue its written determination regarding (a) the aggregate Inventory Value and Petty Cash for the Acquired Stores and (b) the amount of the Assumed Consumer Liabilities and a calculation of Credit Bid Consideration based thereon within fifteen days after such dispute is submitted and such firm shall make a determination in a manner consistent with the definitions of Inventory Value, Petty Cash, Assumed Consumer Liabilities and Credit Bid Consideration and in no event shall the determination of such amount be outside the range of Buyer’s and Sellers’ disagreement. Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to such firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to (a) the aggregate Inventory Value and Petty Cash for the Acquired Stores and (b) the amount of the Assumed Consumer Liabilities as such firm may reasonably request. The determination of such firm shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Sellers absent manifest error. The fees, expenses and costs of such firm shall be borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. The Credit Bid Consideration as finally determined hereunder and pursuant to Section 7.10 shall be referred to as the “Final Credit Bid Consideration”.

(c) Within two Business Days after the Final Credit Bid Consideration is determined pursuant to Section 3.3(b) and Section 7.10:

(i) if the Final Credit Bid Consideration exceeds the Estimated Credit Bid Consideration, then the entire amount of the Escrow Account will be released to Sellers as provided below and the Buyer shall credit an amount equal to such excess against the amount of debt under the Credit Facilities held by Buyer as of such time, provided that if the amount of debt under the Credit Facilities held by Buyer as of such time is insufficient to cover such excess, then such shortfall amount shall instead be payable by Buyer in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Sellers;

(ii) if the Estimated Credit Bid Consideration exceeds the Final Credit Bid Consideration (the “Adjustment Amount”), then (A) if the amount of Cash Consideration paid at Closing was increased pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Cash Consideration, an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount will be released from the Escrow Account to Buyer as provided below and, to the extent the amount in the Escrow Account prior to such release is less than the Adjustment Amount, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the amount by which the Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount in the Escrow Account prior to such release, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, with any amount remaining in the Escrow Account to be concurrently released to Sellers as provided below (provided that if the Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount by which Cash Consideration paid at Closing was increased pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Cash Consideration, then, in lieu of a portion of the required cash payment equal to such excess amount, the amount of debt under the Credit Facilities held by Buyer that was reduced pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 3.2 at the Closing shall be reinstated to the extent of such excess amount with all of the rights and priorities accorded such obligations under the Credit Facilities and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court approving such Facility, with any such amount remaining in the Escrow Account to be concurrently released to Sellers as provided below) and (B) if the amount of Cash Consideration paid at Closing was not increased pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Cash Consideration, the amount of debt under the Credit Facilities held by Buyer that was reduced pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 3.2 at the Closing shall be reinstated to the extent of the Adjustment Amount with all of the rights and priorities accorded such obligations under the Credit Facilities and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court approving such Facility, with the amount in the Escrow Account to be concurrently released to Sellers as provided below; and

(iii) the Parties will provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to cause the Escrow Agent to release all funds from the Escrow Account to the Party or Parties entitled to receive such amounts as determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(c).

(d) Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide promptly to the other Parties all information and reasonable access to employees as such other Parties shall reasonably request in connection with review of the calculation of the Estimated Credit Bid Consideration and Final Credit Bid Consideration, including all work papers of the accountants who audited, compiled or reviewed such determinations.

Section 3.4 Discharge of Assumed Liabilities After Closing. Following the Closing, Buyer shall pay, perform or satisfy the Assumed Liabilities from time to time and as such Assumed Liabilities become due and payable or are required to be performed or satisfied in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 3.5 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) No later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers allocation schedule(s) allocating the Purchase Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) among the Acquired Assets of each Seller, including (i) the Assumed Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities are required to be treated as part of the purchase price for Tax purposes and (ii) allocations between the Cash Consideration and Credit Bid Consideration (the “Allocation Schedule(s)”); provided that all such allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The Allocation Schedule(s) shall be revised in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder to appropriately take into account any additional payments made under this Agreement.

(b) In administering any Proceeding, the Bankruptcy Court shall not be required to apply the Allocation Schedule(s) in determining the manner in which the Purchase Price should be allocated as between any of the Sellers and their respective estates. Buyer and Sellers will each file all Tax Returns (including IRS Forms 8594) consistent with the Allocation Schedule(s) established in accordance with this Section 3.5. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each agree to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete IRS Forms 8594. Neither Buyer nor any Seller shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Allocation Schedule(s), and neither Buyer nor any Seller shall agree to any proposed adjustment based upon or arising out of Allocation Schedule(s) by any Governmental Authority without first giving the other Party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or any Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Schedule(s), and neither Buyer nor any Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of such Allocation Schedule(s).

Section 3.6 Withholding. If Buyer is required by applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any amount of Tax from the payment of the Purchase Price hereunder, then Buyer shall withhold or deduct (and, to the extent required by applicable Laws, remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority) the amount of any such Tax and such withheld amount (to the extent remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Sellers that the statements contained in this Article VI are true and correct:

Section 6.1 Organization and Good Standing. Buyer is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer has the requisite power and authority to own or lease and to operate and use its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted.

Section 6.2 Authority; Validity; Consents. Buyer has the requisite power and authority necessary to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Buyer and the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite corporate actions in respect thereof. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer and each other Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party will be duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer at the Closing. This

Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity. Subject to requisite Bankruptcy Court approval, as applicable, and except as required to comply with the HSR Act, Buyer is not and will not be required to give any notice to or obtain any consent from any Person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 6.3 No Conflict. When the consents and other actions described in Section 6.2 have been obtained and taken, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions provided for herein and therein will not result in the breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or conflict with, or cause any acceleration of any obligation of Buyer under (a) any agreement, indenture, or other instrument to which it is bound, (b) the certificate incorporation of Buyer, (c) any Order or (d) any Law.

Section 6.4 Availability of Funds; Solvency.

(a) Buyer has delivered to the Sellers a true and complete copy of an executed commitment letter from Standard General Master Fund L.P. (the “Equity Commitment Party”) to Buyer (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) to provide equity financing in the form of contributions of cash and debt under the Credit Facilities to Buyer in exchange for equity securities to be issued to the Equity Commitment Party (the “Equity Financing” and, together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”). As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of Buyer subject to the terms and conditions therein. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer or the Equity Commitment Party under the Equity Commitment Letter. Other than as expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies to the Equity Commitment Party’s obligation to fund the Equity Financing.

(b) Assuming the conditions set forth in Article IX are satisfied and that Buyer shall have received the Financing at or prior to the Closing, Buyer will have at the Closing sufficient cash in immediately available funds to pay the Cash Consideration, and any other costs, fees and expenses required to be paid by it under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(c) As of the Closing and immediately after consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, Buyer will not, assuming the accuracy of Sellers’ representations and warranties under this Agreement, (i) be insolvent (either because its financial condition is such that the sum of its debts is greater than the fair value of its assets or because the present fair value of its assets will be less than the amount required to pay its probable Liability on its debts as they become absolute and matured), (ii) have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business or (iii) have incurred or plan to incur debts beyond its ability to repay such debts as they become absolute and matured.

Section 6.5 Litigation. There are no Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened, that would affect in any material respect Buyer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 6.6 Brokers or Finders. Neither Buyer nor any Person acting on behalf of Buyer has paid or become obligated to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder, investment banker, agent or intermediary for or on account of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Sellers are or will become liable, and Buyer shall hold harmless and indemnify Sellers from any claims with respect to any such fees or commissions.

Section 6.7 Condition of Acquired Assets; Representations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but without limiting in any manner Section 7.10 or Section 9.10), Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Sellers are not making any representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by Sellers in Article V (subject to the disclosures set forth on the Schedules), and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained therein, the Acquired Assets are being transferred on a “where is” and, as to condition, “as is” basis. Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction its own independent investigation of the Business and, in making the determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied on the results of its own independent investigation. In connection with Buyer’s investigation, Buyer has received or may receive from Sellers certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Buyer shall have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that Sellers make no representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans).

(b) Sellers shall not:

(e) Without in any way limiting any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that (i) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Buyer, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Sellers or the Business prior to the Closing and (ii) prior to the Closing, Sellers shall exercise, consistent with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over the Business and their operations to the extent permitted by Law, including taking into account Sellers’ status as debtors-in-possession in the Bankruptcy Case. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall be permitted to take all actions that are necessary or desirable to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and WARN Act, including providing any notices required under the WARN Act, and no such actions shall constitute a violation of this Section 7.2.

Buyer will promptly advise Sellers of any Divestiture Action required by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Authority and any negotiations with respect thereto. For purposes of this Section 7.3, a Divestiture Action will be considered “required” by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Authority only if and to the extent that Buyer has been notified by the FTC, the DOJ, or such other Governmental Authority that the failure or refusal to take such Divestiture Action would result in the filing of Proceedings seeking an Order that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

From the Effective Date through ten (10) days prior to the Sale Hearing, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, amend Schedule 2.2(d) and Schedule 1.1(a) by moving any Contract from Schedule 2.2(d) to Schedule 1.1(a) or vice versa by providing Sellers with written notice thereof, provided, however, that Buyer shall have no right to add to Schedule 1.1(a) any Contract rejected, in accordance with Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, by Sellers prior to Sellers receiving written notice from Buyer to include such Contract on Schedule 1.1(a), provided, further, that (i) until the Sale Hearing, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, amend Schedule 2.2(d) and Schedule 1.1(a) by moving from Schedule 1.1(a) to Schedule 2.2(d) any Contract which is the subject of any dispute relating to Cure Costs, (ii) until two Business Days prior to the Auction, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, amend Schedule 2.2(d)

and Schedule 1.1(a) by moving from Schedule 1.1(a) to Schedule 2.2(d) any Real Property Lease relating to any Excluded Acquired Store, and (iii) following the Auction and prior to the Closing, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, amend Schedule 2.2(d) and Schedule 1.1(a) by moving any Contract from Schedule 2.2(d) to Schedule 1.1(a), but not vice versa.

(c) To the extent that any franchise agreements or similar Contracts are added to Schedule 1.1(a), Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith amendments to this Agreement to provide for the successful assignment to, and assumption and future performance by, Buyer of such Contracts (it being understood that the purpose of such amendments would be to minimize liabilities under, and potential litigation and other risk to the Business arising from, such Contracts).

(d) From the Effective Date through two Business Days prior to the Closing, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, amend Schedule 2.1(k) by removing all or any portion of any asset, property or right listed thereon by providing Sellers with written notice thereof; provided, that no such removal will result in a reduction in the amount of the Cash Consideration or the Credit Bid Consideration.

Section 7.9 Employees. Within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall provide Buyer a complete and accurate list of the names of Sellers’ employees, and their corresponding job titles, store or office locations (as the case may be), dates of hire, current rates of compensation, accrued and unused vacation leave and sick leave and other commitments that exist with respect to such employees, whether oral or in writing. Such list shall also indicate which such employees, if any, are not actively at work as of the date specified therein (other than due to vacation or short-term illness). Buyer may offer employment effective as of the Closing Date to such employees as Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion, at such salary and/or wage levels, with such benefits and under such other terms and conditions as Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion. Any employee who accepts an offer of employment from Buyer on or within 30 days after the Closing date shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. Sellers shall retain all liabilities (including accrued vacation and liabilities arising in connection with COBRA) in respect of all of its employees, including Transferred Employees, other than liabilities associated with the Transferred Employees’ service with Buyer after the Closing Date. Sellers shall remain solely responsible for any and all obligations that might arise under the WARN Act arising out of any employment losses occurring prior to, on or after the Closing Date with respect to all current and former employees as of the Closing Date, and shall take all actions that are necessary to comply with the WARN Act, including providing any notices required under the WARN Act. Sellers shall remain liable for all workers’ compensation claims arising out of injuries or occupational diseases sustained or contracted before the date the Transferred Employee commences employment with the Buyer.

Section 7.10 Damage or Destruction. Until the Closing, the Acquired Assets shall remain at the risk of the Sellers. In the event of (i) any material damage to or destruction of any of the Acquired Assets after the date hereof and prior to the Closing (in any such case, a “Damage or Destruction Loss”) or (ii) any sale or other transfer out of an Acquired Store (other than to another Acquired Store) of any Equipment located in an Acquired Store as of the date hereof (an “Equipment Loss”) the Seller shall give notice thereof to the Buyer promptly thereafter. If any such Damage or Destruction Loss is covered by policies of insurance and the

underlying Acquired Asset is not repaired or replaced prior to Closing, all right and claim of the Sellers to any proceeds of insurance for such Damage or Destruction Loss shall be assigned and (if previously received by the Sellers and not used prior to the Closing Date to repair any damage or destruction) paid to the Buyer at Closing in accordance with Section 2.1(i). If any such Damage or Destruction Loss is not covered by policies of insurance, the Buyer shall have the right to reduce the Credit Bid Consideration by an amount equal to (i) if such Affected Assets are not destroyed or damaged beyond repair and are able to be repaired to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such Damage or Destruction Loss at a cost less than their replacement cost, the estimated cost to repair or restore the Acquired Assets affected by such Damage or Destruction Loss (the “Affected Assets”) to substantially the same condition that existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such Damage or Destruction Loss, or (ii) if such Affected Assets are destroyed or damaged beyond repair or are not able to be repaired to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such Damage or Destruction Loss at a cost less than their replacement cost, the replacement cost of the Affected Assets. In the event of an Equipment Loss, the Buyer shall have the right to reduce the Credit Bid Consideration by an amount equal to the replacement cost of the applicable underlying Equipment. If the Buyer elects to reduce the Credit Bid Consideration pursuant to this Section 7.10, the Sellers and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon the amount of such reduction. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement within five (5) Business Days after notice of the Damage or Destruction Loss or Equipment Loss is given by the Sellers, then the amount of the reduction shall be determined by an independent, qualified insurance adjuster selected by the Parties (or, if they are unable to agree on such selection, one appointed by the Bankruptcy Court upon application of either the Buyer or the Sellers).

Section 7.11 Transition Services Agreement; Identified Party Agreements.

(a) The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to agree on a form of Transition Services Agreement as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date.

(b) Buyer shall keep Sellers reasonably apprised on a current basis of the status of any discussions or negotiations between Buyer and the Identified Party (or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives) with respect to the transactions and other matters contemplated by the Term Sheets, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete any discussions or negotiations by no later than fifteen (15) days following the Filing. Buyer shall provide to Sellers copies of the execution version of each definitive agreement entered into or to be entered into between Buyer and the Identified Party (or any of their respective Affiliates) in connection with the transactions or other matters contemplated by the Term Sheets. To the extent that any of the documents referred to in the immediately preceding sentence are subsequently revised, Buyer shall provide copies thereof to Seller as promptly as reasonably practicable. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Sellers may use the Term Sheets and the information and documentation provided to them by Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.11 to facilitate the Auction in accordance with the Bidding Procedures.

Section 7.12 Letters of Credit. The Buyer shall be entitled to credit bid L/C Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 3.1(b). To the extent that a portion of the purchase price is paid by a credit against L/C Reimbursement Obligations relating to any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and the full amount of such Letter of Credit shall not have

been drawn at or prior to the expiration of such Letter of Credit, then promptly following such expiration, Buyer shall reimburse Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the difference between (i) such credit against the purchase price and (ii) the portion of the Letter of Credit actually drawn (x) at or after the Closing and (y) at or prior to such expiration.

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (including the Schedules and the Exhibits) and the other Transaction Documents are intended, among other things, to allocate the economic cost and the risks inherent in the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including risks associated with matters as to which the party making such representations and warranties has no knowledge or only incomplete knowledge, and such representations and warranties may be qualified by disclosures contained in the Schedules. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 12.5 Assignment. This Agreement, and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned by any Party by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other Parties (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such other Party); provided, however, that Buyer shall be permitted, upon prior notice to Sellers, to (i) assign its right to receive assignment of any Real Property Lease to the Identified Party and (ii) assign all or part of its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement, and Sellers shall be permitted to assign all or part of their rights or obligations hereunder on or after the date on which the Final Credit Bid Consideration is determined in accordance with Section 3.3(b) pursuant to a plan of reorganization or liquidation approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 12.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.

Section 12.7 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Jury Trial Waiver.

(a) Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to Contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws or any other law that would make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware applicable hereto.

(b) Without limitation of any Party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) any and all claims relating to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Proceeding; provided, however, that, if the Bankruptcy Case is closed, all Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in a Delaware state court or a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereby (a) irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) with respect to all Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or other theory); (b) agree that all claims with respect to any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts and agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or other theory) except in such courts; (c) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and irrevocably and unconditionally waives the defense of an inconvenient forum; and (d) agree that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. The Parties agree that any violation of this Section 12.7(b) shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall constitute irreparable harm.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.7.

Section 12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)) with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when, and only when, each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by means of facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf) shall have the same effect as delivery of a physically executed counterpart in person.

Section 12.9 Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, liabilities or claims hereunder upon any Person not a Party or a permitted assignee of a Party.

Section 12.10 Non-Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with or relate in any manner to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in connection with or as an inducement to this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as Parties to this Agreement. No other Person, including any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, managers, stockholders, agents, attorneys, or representatives of, or any financial advisors or lenders to, any of the foregoing shall have any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities, other than fraud claims, arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to, this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of, this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance or breach.

Section 12.11 Schedules; Materiality. The inclusion of any matter in any Schedule shall be deemed to be an inclusion for all purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such disclosure is sufficient to identify the Section to which such disclosure is responsive, but inclusion therein shall not be deemed to constitute an admission, or otherwise imply, that any such matter is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement. The disclosure of any particular fact or item in any Schedule shall not be deemed an admission as to whether the fact or item is “material” or would constitute a “Material Adverse Effect.”

Section 12.12 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) irreparable injury, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or are otherwise breached, and (b) the non-breaching Party or Parties shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain (without the posting of any bond) specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If any Proceeding is brought by the non-breaching Party or Parties to enforce this Agreement, the Party in breach shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 12.13 Survival. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing shall survive the Closing and terminate on the earlier of their completion and the one year anniversary the Closing Date. All other covenants and agreements contained herein, and all representations and warranties contained herein or in any certificated deliveries hereunder, shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.
