During the period prior to the Closing Date, each Party will promptly advise the other in writing of any written notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (a) Seller and Buyer acknowledge that this Agreement and the sale of the Purchased Assets are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that (i) to obtain such approval, Seller must demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to obtain the highest or otherwise best offer possible for the Purchased Assets, including, but not limited to, giving notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to creditors and certain other interested parties as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, and conducting an auction in respect of the Purchased Assets (the “ Auction ”), and (ii) Buyer must provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Assumed Contracts.

          (b) As soon as reasonably possible after the Parties execute this Agreement, but in any event no later than five Business Days after the Parties execute this Agreement, Seller shall file the Sale Motion with the Bankruptcy Court, together with required supporting papers and required notices.

SECTION 7.
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1. Taxes .

          (a) Seller shall be liable for and shall pay, and pursuant to Section 7.1(c) shall reimburse Buyer for, all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business and the Purchased Assets, in each case attributable to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting the obligations of Buyer contained elsewhere in this Agreement, including in respect of the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall be liable for and shall pay, and pursuant to Section 7.1(c) shall reimburse the applicable Seller for, all Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) applicable to the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, in each case attributable to periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph (a), any period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date shall be treated as two partial periods, one ending on the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily basis.

          (b) Without limiting the other terms set forth in this Agreement, any sales Tax, use Tax, real property transfer or gains Tax, real property records recordation fees, documentary stamp Tax or similar Tax attributable to the sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets and not exempted under the Sale Order or by section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (“ Transfer Taxes ”) shall be borne by Seller.

          (c) Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid by one Party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.1 . Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any such Tax, the Party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other of the Tax payable and each Party’s respective liability therefor, although failure to do so will not relieve the other Party from its liability hereunder.

          (d) Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Buyer and Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets for a period of at least six years following the Closing Date. On or after the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least 10 days prior written notice before destroying any such books and records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets or the Business.

-22-


 

Section 7.2. Adequate Assurances Regarding Assumed Contracts .

          With respect to each Assumed Contract, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide adequate assurance as required under the Bankruptcy Code of the future performance by Buyer of each such Assumed Contract. Buyer and Seller agree that they will promptly take all actions reasonably required to assist in obtaining a Bankruptcy Court finding that there has been an adequate demonstration of adequate assurance of future performance under the Assumed Contracts, such as furnishing affidavits, non-confidential financial information or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court and making Buyer’s and Seller’ employees and representatives available to testify before the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 7.3. Certain Actions .

          Within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall take such corporate and other actions necessary to change its corporate or company name, as the case may be, to a name that is not similar to, or confusing with, the current name of Seller, including any necessary filings required by the general corporation or other law of the state in which such Seller is incorporated, or otherwise organized. Buyer and Parent shall enter into the Name Use Agreement, permitting Parent to continue to retain “International Fight League” as its corporate name so long as it is a dormant company and is not engaged in an active trade or business in accordance with Section 2.6(c) .

Section 7.4. Reasonable Access to Records and Certain Personnel .

          In order to facilitate Seller’ efforts to (i) administer and close the Bankruptcy Cases, (ii) prepare tax returns (together, the “ Post-Close Filings ”), and (iii) allow Parent to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, the Buyer shall permit Seller and Seller’s counsel and accountants (collectively, “ Permitted Access Parties ”) during regular business hours, with reasonable notice, and subject to reasonable rules and regulations, reasonable access to the financial and other books and records which comprised part of the Purchased Assets that are required to complete the Post-Close Filings, which access shall include (x) the right of such Permitted Access Parties to copy, at such Permitted Access Parties’ expense, such required documents and records and (y) Buyer’s copying and delivering to the relevant Permitted Access Parties such documents or records as they require, but only to the extent such Permitted Access Parties furnish Buyer with reasonably detailed written descriptions of the materials to be so copies and applicable Permitted Access Party reimburses the Buyer for the costs and expenses thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing rights of access shall not be exercisable in such a manner as to interfere with the normal operations of Buyer’s business. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have access to any information that, based on advice of Buyer’s counsel, could (1) reasonably be expected to create liability under applicable law, or waive any legal privilege, (2) result in the discharge of any Trade Secrets of Buyer, its affiliates or any third parties or (3) violate any obligation of Buyer with respect to confidentiality.

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 right, power or remedy.

-29-

          Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
