11


 
virtue of Purchaser’s ownership of the Purchased Assets, but rather, this Section 2.3 is solely intended to identify and provide for the assumption by Purchaser of those Liabilities of Seller that are specifically assumed by Purchaser hereunder and which, but for such assumption, would remain Liabilities of Seller.
     2.4      Excluded Liabilities .

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Purchaser’s rights under Section 7.2(e) , if the assignment or assumption of all or any portion of any rights or obligations under any Assigned Contract shall require the consent of any other party thereto or any other third party that has not been obtained prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, convey or otherwise transfer any rights or obligations under any such Assigned Contract if an attempted assignment without any such consent would constitute a breach or violation thereof, unless and until such consent is obtained. In order, however, to seek to provide Purchaser the full realization and value of every Assigned Contract of the character described in the immediately preceding sentence (i) as soon as practicable after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate, in all commercially reasonable respects, to obtain any necessary consents to the assignment of such Assigned Contracts, provided that no Party shall be required to make any material payments or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith, and (ii) until the earliest of: (A) the date all such consents are obtained, (B) the date all such Assigned Contracts expire or are terminated or (C) the date which is six (6) months from the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate, in all commercially reasonable respects, to provide to Purchaser the benefits under such Assigned Contracts (with Purchaser being entitled to all the gains and responsible for all Losses, Taxes and Liabilities realized or incurred thereunder from the Closing Date until the expiration of such period if Purchaser receives the benefits thereunder). In connection with this Section 2.5 , if reasonably requested by Purchaser, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to enforce for the benefit of Purchaser all reasonable claims or rights of Seller arising under the applicable Assigned Contracts at Purchaser’s expense; provided, that Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates for any

12


 
and all Losses arising in connection with any Action by a third party arising from, in connection with or otherwise with respect to actions taken or failed to be taken by Seller or any of its Affiliates consistent with Purchaser’s request and direction under this Section 2.5 . Provided that Purchaser receives the benefits thereunder, Purchaser shall perform and comply with, at Purchaser’s cost, all of Seller’s obligations incurred during such period under such Assigned Contracts as if Purchaser were Seller thereunder. Promptly after any required consents to assignment are obtained for any such Assigned Contracts, Seller shall assign and transfer such Assigned Contract to Purchaser without any further payment or consideration.
     2.6       Purchase Price . In consideration of the sale, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Purchased Assets under this Article II , Purchaser shall, upon the Closing, assume the Assumed Liabilities and pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to the Seller Bank Account(s), $150,000,000 (the “ Purchase Price ”).
     2.7       Allocation of Purchase Price . The Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities to the extent properly taken into account under the Code) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets (other than the Inventory) and the Inventory as set forth on Schedule 2.7 hereto and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. To the extent the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 10.9 or otherwise, Purchaser and Seller shall amend such schedule to reflect such adjustments. Purchaser and Seller shall file their Tax Returns (and IRS Form(s) 8594, as applicable) on the basis of such allocation, as it may be amended, and neither Party shall thereafter take a Tax Return position inconsistent with such allocation unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
     2.8      Risk of Loss . Until the Effective Time, any loss of or damage to the Purchased Assets from fire, flood, casualty or any other similar occurrence shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. As of the Effective Time, title to the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Purchaser.
