CLOSING; PURCHASE PRICE 

3.1 Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place by electronic
exchange of signature pages no later than ten days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 or such other date as mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. The date on which
the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall be effective for all purposes as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. 
 3.3 Payments at Closing. At the Closing, in consideration of the sale, transfer, conveyance and

 Promptly following payment of
the amount set forth in Section 3.3(b) hereof, Seller shall pay to the counterparty to each Transferred Agreement the Cure Cost for the assumption and assignment to Buyer of such Transferred Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Cure Cost for a Transferred Agreement is disputed as of the Closing Date by any party with standing in the Bankruptcy Case to dispute such Cure Cost (an “Objecting Party”), Seller shall reserve and set aside an amount of the
Purchase Price received pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof (which amount shall be no less than the aggregate amount of Cure Costs claimed by all Objecting Parties), and shall use such amount to promptly pay each Objecting Party the amount
of the applicable Cure Costs following the final determination (whether by the Bankruptcy Court or consent of the Seller and such counterparty) of such Cure Cost. 

3.4 Flow of Funds Memorandum. No later than 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a flow

(a) From time to time after the Closing until the closing of the Bankruptcy Case, at the request of Buyer, at no cost to Buyer and without
further consideration, Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary in
order to transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, and to confirm Buyer’s title to, all of the Purchased Assets. 
 (b) Following the
Closing until the closing of the Bankruptcy Case, Seller will afford Buyer, its counsel and accountants, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, reasonable access to review (i) the books, records and other data relating
to the applicable Purchased Assets in Seller’s possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, at Buyer’s cost and expense, but only to the extent that such access may be
reasonably required by Buyer in connection with (A) Buyer’s compliance with the requirements of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the applicable Purchased Assets prior to the Closing, (B) Buyer’s attempt to
enforce any of its rights or interests against any Person other than Seller or its Affiliates, and/or (C) the provision of any information required for the defense and prosecution of claims and any other legitimate purpose of Buyer; and

 (c) Following the Closing until the closing
of the Bankruptcy Case, Buyer will afford Seller, its counsel and accountants, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, reasonable access to review (i) the books, records and other data which are transferred to Buyer
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and which relate to the applicable Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date, the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, at Seller’s cost and expense, and access to former employees of Seller but
only to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by Seller in connection with (A) Seller’s compliance with the requirements of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Purchased Assets, (B) Seller’s
attempt to enforce any of its rights or interests against any Person other than Buyer or their its Affiliates, and/or (C) estate administration, the winding down of Seller in connection with the Bankruptcy Case, the provision of any information
required for the defense and prosecution of claims and any other legitimate purpose of Seller, and (ii) financial and Tax records relating exclusively to such Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date. Any such review shall be conducted by
Seller, its counsel and/or accountants in such manner as to 

  
 13 

 
cause the least disruption to Buyer’s businesses as reasonably practicable, and Buyer shall have the right to redact and not make available to Seller any information contained in such books,
records and other data that is related to the Purchased Assets or the conduct of the Business from and after the Closing Date. 
 (d) If,
following the Closing, any customer of the Business inadvertently remits a payment to Buyer or its Affiliates that was owed or payable to Seller or its Affiliates in respect of services provided by the Business prior to the Closing Date, Buyer
shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, promptly remit such payment to Seller. If, following the Closing, any customer of the Business inadvertently remits a payment to Seller or its Affiliates that was owed or payable to Buyer or its Affiliates in
respect of services provided by the Business on or after the Closing Date, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, promptly remit such payment to Buyer. 

(e) Following the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to Buyer the health, dental and other
insurance plans of Seller as requested by Buyer. 
 3.7 Cure Costs. At Closing and pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code, Seller will assume the Transferred Agreements (to the extent not previously assumed) and assign the Transferred Agreements to Buyer, and Buyer will assume the Transferred Agreements. Unless otherwise agreed upon by Buyer and the counterparty
to a Transferred Agreement, all Cure Costs with respect to the Transferred Agreements will be paid by Seller at or about Closing as and when finally determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Bid Procedures. 

3.8 Allocation. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall in good faith prepare an allocation of the
Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of United States state or local or non-United States Law,
as appropriate), which allocation shall be binding upon Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates. Buyer and Seller shall report, act and file all Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes
consistent with such allocation. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. 

3.9 Disposition of Escrow Amount. 

(a) After the Closing, the Escrow Amount shall be held in the escrow account established by the Parties pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof and
Buyer shall cause such amount to be paid to Seller, together with all interest accrued thereon (net of any amounts disbursed to Buyer in respect of any indemnification obligations under Section 8), on the six (6) month anniversary
of the Closing Date. To the extent that any portion of the Escrow Amount is subject to any claims of Buyer pursuant to Article 8 of this Agreement and the terms of the Escrow Agreement (the portion of the Escrow Amount subject to such claims,
the “Disputed Amount”), such Disputed Amount shall remain in the escrow account until such time as: (i) Seller and Buyer execute a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse all or
any portion of such Disputed Amount or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall receive a final, non-appealable order directing the release of all or any portion of such Disputed Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, any conflict between this clause and the
Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agreement shall control.

both Buyer and Seller) pursuant to Sections 9.1(a), (b), (e), (f) or (g) hereof, or (2) by Buyer pursuant to Sections 9.1(c) or (d) hereof, then, in each case, Buyer and Seller
shall promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following the termination of this Agreement, direct and cause the Escrow Agent to return the entire Escrow Amount to Buyer. In the event this Agreement is terminated by Seller
pursuant to Sections 9.1(c) or (d) hereof, the Escrow Amount shall remain in the escrow account until such time as: (i) Seller and Buyer execute a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to
disburse all or any portion of such Escrow Amount or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall receive a final, non-appealable order directing the release of all or any portion of such Escrow Amount.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER 

Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Seller makes no representations or warranties
whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to any matter relating to the Purchased Assets. Except as specifically disclosed in the disclosure schedule attached hereto (the “Disclosure Schedule”) (referencing the appropriate
section and paragraph numbers), Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer, as follows: 
 5.1 Organization; Good Standing;
Qualification. 
 (a) Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the State of
Delaware. Seller has all necessary corporate powers to own its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as currently contemplated to be conducted. 

(b) Seller is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business or of its
properties makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. 

5.2 No Subsidiaries. Seller has no Subsidiary and does not own any shares of capital stock or securities of any other Person, in each
case, except for any Subsidiary or Person that does not own, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of the Business or the Purchased Assets. 

  
 18 

 5.3 Authority. Subject to the necessary authorization from the Bankruptcy Court: 

(a) Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; 
 (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller; 
 (c) this Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Seller and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer, constitutes a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms; and 

(d) except as set forth in Section 5.3(d) of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not nor
will not, and subject to the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, (i) result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under,
or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under, any Transferred Agreement, or (ii) result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a
right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under, any Governmental Order applicable to Seller or its Affiliates or the Purchased Assets.

authorization of any other Person, or registration, declaration or filing with any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Purchased Assets, is required by, or with respect to, Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Seller, or the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for consents, approvals, actions or filings with or notice to the Bankruptcy Court. Subject to the necessary authorization from the Bankruptcy Court,
there is no Contract (not to compete or otherwise), commitment or Governmental Order to which Seller is a party binding upon the Purchased Assets which prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or Buyer’s use and
conduct of the Purchased Assets and the Business following the Closing Date as such Purchased Assets and Business are presently used and conducted, as applicable, by Seller. 

5.5 Sufficiency and Condition of Assets. Subject to the receipt of the approval of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Sale Order,
Seller has good and marketable title to all of its right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets free and clear of any and all Liens, other than Liens that will be discharged by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Sale Order. After
giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, Buyer will have good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets free and clear of any and all
Liens. The Tangible Assets and other items of tangible personal property included in the Purchased Assets are in good operating condition and repair, and are adequate for the uses to which they are being put. The Purchased Assets constitute all of
the rights, property and assets necessary to conduct the Business as currently conducted (but after giving effect to the exclusion of the Excluded Contracts). 

  
 19 

 5.6 Litigation. Except (i) for adversary proceedings to which Seller is a party
pending before the Bankruptcy Court, and (ii) any matters that will otherwise be resolved by the Sale Order, there is no Legal Proceeding or order pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, overtly threatened against Seller which, if adversely
determined, would have a Material Adverse Change or materially impair Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

5.7 Intellectual Property Rights. 

(a) Ownership Free and Clear. Except as expressly stated in Section 5.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, Seller exclusively
owns all right, title and interest in and to Transferred IP (other than Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Seller, as identified in Section 5.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule) free and clear of any Liens (other than nonexclusive
licenses identified on Section 5.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly stated in Section 5.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule: 

(i) no funding, facilities, or personnel of any Governmental Authority or any college, university or other educational institution were used,
directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any Transferred IP, and no Transferred IP was developed, in whole or in part, pursuant to a Contract with a Governmental Authority; 

(ii) no Governmental Authority has any right, title or interest (including license rights) in all or any part of any Transferred IP;

executed, delivered and filed in a timely manner with the appropriate Governmental Authority as of the Closing;

employee, contractor, representative or agent who is or was involved in the creation or development of any Transferred IP has signed a valid and enforceable agreement containing an irrevocable assignment of all Intellectual Property Rights
pertaining to such Transferred IP to Seller and confidentiality provisions protecting Transferred IP; 
 (v) Seller has taken all reasonable
steps to maintain the confidentiality of and otherwise protect and enforce its rights in all proprietary information pertaining to the conduct of the Business, and has not disclosed any such proprietary information to non-employees except pursuant
to a binding confidentiality agreement; and 
 (vi) Seller owns or otherwise has, and after the Closing Buyer will have, all Intellectual
Property Rights needed to conduct the Business as currently conducted (but after giving effect to the exclusion of the Excluded Contracts). 

(b) Valid and Enforceable. All Transferred IP is valid, subsisting and enforceable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 (i) no Trademark or trade name owned, used or applied for by Seller conflicts or interferes with any trademark or trade name owned, used
or applied for by any other Person, and Seller has taken reasonable steps to police the use of its trademarks and service marks; 

  
 20 

 (ii) except as set forth on Section 5.7(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule, no
interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination or other Legal Proceeding is or has been pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened, in which the scope, validity or enforceability of any Transferred IP is being, has been, or could
reasonably be expected to be contested or challenged. To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no basis for a claim that any Transferred IP is invalid or unenforceable. 

(c) No Third Party Infringement of Transferred IP. Except as set forth on Section 5.7(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the
Knowledge of Seller, no Person has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated, and no Person is currently infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating, any Transferred IP. Section 5.7(c) of the Disclosure Schedule accurately
identifies (and Seller has delivered to Buyer a complete and accurate copy of) each letter or other written or electronic communication or correspondence that has been sent by or to Seller or any representative of Seller regarding any actual,
alleged or suspected infringement or misappropriation of any Transferred IP, and provides a brief description of the current status of the matter referred to in such letter, communication or correspondence. 

(d) No Infringement of Third Party IP Rights. Except as set forth on Section 5.7(d) of the Disclosure Schedule, no Seller
Software or Transferred IP infringes, violates or makes unlawful use of any intellectual property (whether patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other registered or unregistered intellectual property) of, or contains any intellectual property
misappropriated from, any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 
 (i) no infringement, misappropriation or
similar claim is pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller, except as set forth on Section 5.7(d) of the Disclosure Schedule or against any other Person who is or may be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held

 30 

 
Transferred Employee to discontinue his or her employment or business relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates; provided, that Seller and its Affiliates shall not be precluded from
soliciting or hiring, or taking any other action with respect to any such individual (1) who responds to a solicitation by a search firm or recruiting agency not specifically targeted at employees of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or

employment discussions between such individual and Seller or its Affiliates; provided, further, that Seller and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from engaging in general solicitations or advertising not targeted at Transferred
Employees. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be required to cause its former employees or the former employees of its Affiliates to abide by the terms of this Section 7.13(a).

(i) engage in, acquire or own an interest in (in whole or in part) any business that engages in the same or substantially the same business as
the Business on the date hereof; 
 (ii) except for the possible pursuit of Chapter 5 Claims, Rights and Causes of Action that are Excluded
Assets, interfere with or disrupt, or attempt to interfere with or disrupt, the relationship of Buyer or any of its Affiliates with any customer, vendor, supplier, or contractor of the Business; or 

(iii) solicit or divert, or attempt to solicit or divert, the business or patronage (with respect to products or services of the kind or type
developed, produced, marketed, furnished, or sold by the Business) of any customer or prospective customer of the Business. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.13 shall preclude Seller from exercising its rights or complying with its obligations under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement. 

7.14 Assumption Effective Date; Designation Contracts. 

(a) The Parties agree that all Transferred Contracts that are assigned to, and assumed by, Buyer will be deemed to have been assigned to, and

objection is submitted or (b) the third business day following the date of resolution of any such objection. 

  
 31 

 (b) The Parties agree that at any time prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right, in

to Buyer. During the Designation Period, Buyer shall be responsible for any Carry Costs payable by Seller that accrue or are attributable to the Designation Contracts. Upon notice to Seller of Buyer’s election to designate a Designation
Contract as a Transferred Contract, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the assumption of such Contract by Seller and the assignment of such Contract to Buyer, provided, that Buyer promptly undertakes to pay all
Cure Costs associated with such Contract in connection with such assignment and assumption. A Designation Contract shall be deemed to be a Transferred Contract for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date that such Contract is assumed by Seller
and assigned to Buyer pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be under no obligation to designate a Designation Contract as a Transferred Contract. As used herein, the term “Carry
Costs” means all amounts payable, including the direct, out-of-pocket costs and net expenses payable to a party (other than to Seller or its Affiliates), under a Designation Contract and actually accrued during the Designation Period;
provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be required to pay Carry Costs for professional fees, including legal fees and expenses, in excess of $5,000.

(b) by either of Buyer or Seller if any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order or taken any other action, in each case
permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; 
 (c) by either
of Buyer or Seller (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if there shall have been a material breach or misrepresentation of any of
the representations or warranties or a material breach of or failure to perform in any material respect any of the covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement on the part of Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, which
breach, misrepresentation or failure would give rise to the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.2(a), as the case may be, and such breach, misrepresentation or failure cannot be cured prior to
the Termination Date, unless such breach, misrepresentation or failure, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing; 
 (d) by either
of Buyer or Seller (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if satisfaction of a material condition set forth in Section 4.1
or Section 4.2, as the case may be, for the benefit of the terminating party cannot be fulfilled or satisfied prior to the Termination Date and has not been waived by the terminating party, provided that the terminating party shall not
be responsible for the failure of such condition to be satisfied; 
 (e) by Buyer if Seller (i) consummates an Alternative Transaction
(other than to or by Buyer), (ii) files, seeks or supports Bankruptcy Court Approval of a chapter 11 plan contemplating the sale or retention of the Purchased Assets in a manner substantially inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or
(iii) executes and delivers an agreement or understanding of any kind with respect to an Alternative Transaction with any party other than Buyer; 

  
 35 

 (f) by either of Buyer or Seller if the Bankruptcy Court enters an order approving any
Alternative Transaction; or 
 (g) by Buyer or Seller on any day on or after the date that is 14 days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry
of the Sale Order (the “Termination Date”) if the Closing shall not have been consummated by such date (or by such later date as may be mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller in writing), unless the Closing has not occurred due to a
material failure of the terminating party to perform or observe any of its covenants or obligations as set forth in this Agreement required to be performed or observed by it on or before the Closing Date. 

9.2 Effect of Termination or Breach. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of termination of this Agreement, this Agreement (other than the terms and provisions set
forth in Section 3.9(b), this Section 9.2 and Article 10 hereof, which shall survive such termination) shall become null and void and be deemed of no force and effect, with no liability on the part of any party hereto
(or of any of its directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, legal and financial advisors or other representatives), and no party hereto shall have any obligations to any other party hereto arising out of this Agreement;
provided, however, that no termination of this Agreement shall relieve or release any party from any Liabilities or damages resulting from any willful breach of this Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.2(a) hereof, from and after the entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, if this Agreement is
terminated by (i) Buyer pursuant to Sections 9.1(c), (d) or (e), or (ii) Buyer or Seller pursuant to Sections 9.1(f) or (g), then Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the Expense Reimbursement and
shall pay such amount to Buyer not later than two (2) Business Days following the approval of such Expense Reimbursement by the Bankruptcy Court. The Expense Reimbursement shall be treated as an administrative expense of Seller’s
bankruptcy estate under sections 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over all other administrative expenses in the Bankruptcy Case, including any administrative expense claims that may have priority over certain other
administrative expenses. The Expense Reimbursement shall be in consideration of the substantial commitment of time and resources by Buyer, including but not limited to, the preparation, negotiation, execution, and performance of this Agreement.

			Section 2.6Non-Assignable Purchased Assets.
		

			
	
			
				 a)
			To the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Purchased Asset would violate any Governmental Order which is in effect, result in a violation of applicable Law or would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority), and (i) such consent, authorization, approval or waiver has not been obtained, (ii) the Bankruptcy Court has not entered a final Governmental Order, which may include the Sale Order, providing that such consent, authorization, approval or waiver is not required or that the Purchased Asset subject to such consent, authorization, approval or waiver shall be assigned or transferred regardless of any such necessary consent, authorization, approval or waiver and that there shall be no breach or adverse effect on the rights of Buyer thereunder for the failure to obtain any such consent, authorization, approval or waiver or, (iii) in the case of Permits included in the Purchased Assets, where such consent, authorization, approval or waiver is not ordinarily obtained prior to the Closing, no Seller shall sell and this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof; provided,  however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in ARTICLE 6, the Closing shall occur, notwithstanding the foregoing, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof.  Following the Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver, or any release, substitution or amendment required to transfer all of the rights and benefits, and assign or novate all liabilities and obligations under any and all Assigned Contracts, Permits included in the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, so that Buyer may have the benefit and rights of such Assigned Contracts and Permits and Purchased Assets and be responsible for such Assumed Liabilities from and after the Closing Date; provided,  however, that neither Sellers nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor other than routine filing fees. Once such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment is obtained, such applicable Purchased Assets shall be deemed to be transferred or, if required, Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Purchased Asset to which such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration.

To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for Sellers, pay, perform and discharge fully the liabilities and obligations of Sellers thereunder from and after the Closing Date and Sellers shall, at Buyer’s expense, hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, such Purchased Asset and all benefits, income, proceeds and other monies received by Sellers to the extent related to such Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.6(b).  Sellers shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Purchased Assets.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall not apply to any consent or approval required under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law, which consent or approval shall be governed by Section 5.5.    

			
	
			
				 c)
			The provisions of Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.6(b) shall not apply to any consent, authorization, approval or waiver relating to the ROFR (if applicable).

In the event of any such objection, Buyer and Sellers will work expeditiously and in good faith in an attempt to resolve such dispute within a further period of 15 days after the date of notification by Sellers to Buyer of such dispute, failing which the dispute shall be submitted for determination to an independent national firm of certified public accountants mutually agreed to by Sellers and Buyer (and, failing agreement between Sellers and Buyer on the firm of certified public accountants within a further period of five Business Days, such independent national firm of certified public accountants shall be Ernst & Young LLP). The determination of the firm of certified public accountants shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall not be subject to appeal. The firm of certified public accountants shall be deemed to be acting as experts and not as arbitrators. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other. Sellers and Buyer agree to (a) file their respective IRS Forms 8594 and all federal, state and local Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule (as it may be subsequently adjusted) and (b) notify and provide the other party with reasonable assistance in the event of an examination, audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes or any other filing with a Governmental Authority regarding the appropriate allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties may settle any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the allocation of the Purchase Price and other applicable items among the Purchased Assets, and neither Buyer nor Sellers shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority challenging any final Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 2.10 shall survive the Closing Date without limitation.
		

		
			Section 2.11Withholding.  Buyer shall be entitled to withhold from amounts payable to any Seller hereunder amounts of Taxes that are required to be withheld under applicable Law and if any such Taxes are withheld, they shall be remitted by Buyer in accordance with applicable Law; provided that, if a Seller has provided the FIRPTA Certificate in accordance with Section 6.2(e) upon which Buyer may rely that reasonably establishes that the transactions contemplated hereby are not subject to withholding under Code section 1445(a), Buyer shall not deduct or withhold any amount for Taxes under Code section 1445(a) with respect to such Seller.  To the extent that such Taxes are withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to amounts payable to a Seller hereunder, such amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Seller.

			If the Sale Order is appealed, Buyer and Sellers shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend such appeal at their own cost and expense.
		

		
			Each Seller further covenants and agrees that the terms of any plan of reorganization or liquidation, or any order of dismissal, submitted to the Bankruptcy Court by such Seller shall not conflict with, supersede, abrogate, nullify or restrict the terms of this Agreement, or in any way prevent or interfere with the consummation or performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

		on any successor or transferee liability, interests, encumbrances, rights, remedies, restrictions, liabilities and contractual commitments of any kind or nature whatsoever, whenever arising, whether at law or in equity, and granting certain related relief; and the Selling Debtors having agreed to enter into and consummate the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Purchaser (such Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”); and the Sale Hearing having been held on December __, 2015; and upon the record of the Sale Hearing, and all of the proceedings before this Court; and this Court having reviewed the Motion and any objections thereto and having found and determined that the relief sought in the Motion, and entry of this Order, is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Debtors’ estates, their creditors, and other parties in interest; and after due deliberation thereon and sufficient cause appearing therefore:

			is legal, valid and properly authorized under all such provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules, and all of the applicable requirements of such sections and rules have been complied with in respect of such transactions.

			
	
			
				 C.
			Notice.  As evidenced by the affidavits of service and publication filed with the Court, proper, timely, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Motion, the Sale Hearing, the procedures for assumption and assignment of Assigned Contracts (as defined in paragraph U below), the proposed Cure Amounts, the Sale and all transactions contemplated therein or in connection therewith, and all deadlines related thereto, was given and no further notice need be provided.  A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard regarding the relief granted by this Order has been afforded to those parties entitled to notice pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules.

			
	
			
				 D.
			Actual written notice of the Motion, the Sale Hearing, the procedures for assumption and assignment of contracts and leases, the proposed Cure Amounts, the Sale and all transactions contemplated therein or in connection therewith, and all deadlines related thereto has been given to all interested persons and entities, including, without limitation: (i) all entities that assert any Lien, Claim or Interest (each as defined below) in the Purchased Assets; (ii) all parties to the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (iii) all parties to the Assigned Contracts assumed and sold and assigned pursuant to this Order; (iv) all governmental taxing authorities that have or as a result of the Sale may have Claims, contingent or otherwise, against the Debtors; (v) all state and local taxing authorities having jurisdiction over any of the Purchased Assets, including the Internal Revenue Service; (vi) all state and local governmental agencies and environmental agencies in any jurisdiction where the Debtors own or have owned or used real property; (vii) the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection; (viii) all parties that filed requests for notices under Bankruptcy Rule 9010(b) or

			were entitled to notice under Bankruptcy Rule 2002; (ix) all known creditors (whether liquidated, contingent or unmatured) of the Selling Debtors; (x) all interested governmental, pension, environmental and other regulatory entities; (xi) the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Nevada; (xii) the Nevada Department of Taxation; (xiii) any other applicable state attorneys general; (xiv) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Colorado; (xv) the United States Department of Justice; (xvi) counsel to Barrick Gold Exploration Inc., (xvi) counsel to the Purchaser and all other notice parties reasonably requested by Purchaser in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (xvii) the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management.  The foregoing constitutes proper, timely, adequate, and sufficient notice under the particular circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, and no further notice need be provided.

			
	
			
				 E.
			The Publication Notice was published in The Mining Journal and The Reno Gazette Journal on December __, 2015.  See Docket No. [___].  Such publication notice was sufficient and proper notice to any other interested parties, including those whose identities are unknown to the Debtors.

			
	
			
				 F.
			Extensive Efforts by Debtors.  The Sale is the product of extensive efforts by the Debtors to identify all available alternatives to maximize the value of their interest in the Purchased Assets, including the Spring Valley Project, including, among other things, (i) a prepetition six-week transaction process to identify possible equity and/or asset transactions which yielded no offers for Midway Gold’s 30% interest in the Spring Valley Project; (ii) two postpetition efforts to engage with Barrick with respect to a process to conduct a consensual sale of 100% of the Spring Valley Project, which efforts were ultimately unsuccessful; (iii) the commencement of the Barrick Litigation to exercise their statutory rights under section 363(h) of the Bankruptcy Code to sell 100% of the Spring Valley Project over Barrick’s objections;

			and (iv) extensive negotiations with Waterton over the terms of the Sale and the necessary documentation, which were conducted in good faith and at arm’s length.  In effect, the Sale will result in a consensual sale of 100% of the Spring Valley Project, resolve pending and future disputes with Barrick, maximize value by generating not less than $25 million in cash proceeds, and otherwise benefit the Debtors’ estates and creditors and other stakeholders.  

			
	
			
				 G.
			Business Justification.  The Debtors have demonstrated compelling circumstances and a good, sufficient, and sound business purpose and justification for the Sale.  In light of the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases, time is of the essence in (i) consummating the Sale and all related transactions, (ii) preserving the value of the Debtors’ assets, and (iii) minimizing the widespread and adverse economic consequences to the Debtors, their estates, and their creditors. 

			
	
			
				 H.
			Adequate Marketing; Highest or Best Offer.  As demonstrated by (i) the testimony and other evidence proffered or adduced at the Sale Hearing, and (ii) the representations of counsel made on the record at the Sale Hearing, (a) the Debtors’ prepetition efforts to sell Midway Gold’s 30% interest in the Purchased Assets, including the Spring Valley Project, yielded no offers; (b) Barrick executed the Barrick APA with respect to, among other things, its 70% interest in the Spring Valley Project, after an extensive marketing process conducted by Barrick and its investment banker CIBC, which provides for the same pro rata purchase price as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement for Midway Gold’s 30% interest, thus indicating fair market value for Midway Gold’s interest; (c) in the opinion of the Debtors’ senior management and their investment banker, the consideration provided by the Purchaser in the Asset Purchase Agreement is toward the high range of the value of Midway Gold’s 30% interest in the Spring Valley Project that they would have reasonably expected to realize through any further marketing of the Purchased Assets and exceeds the values set forth in prior

			oral and written expressions of interest received by the Debtors and their investment banker; (d) the consideration provided by the Purchaser in the Asset Purchase Agreement constitutes the highest or otherwise best offer for the Purchased Assets; (e) the consideration provides fair and reasonable consideration for the Purchased Assets and constitutes reasonably equivalent value under the Bankruptcy Code and under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia; (f) the Sale will provide a greater recovery for the Debtors’ creditors with respect to the Purchased Assets than would be provided by any other practically available alternative, including an auction or other sale process; (g) taking into consideration all relevant factors and circumstances, no other entity has offered to purchase the Purchased Assets for greater economic value to the Debtors or their estates; (h) the Debtors’ determination that the Asset Purchase Agreement constitutes the highest or best offer for the Purchased Assets constitutes a valid and sound exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment; and (i) the sale of the Purchased Assets on the terms set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and this order will resolve significant pending and future disputes between the Debtors and Barrick.

			
	
			
				 I.
			Opportunity to Object.  A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard with respect to the Motion, and all relief requested therein has been afforded to all interested parties.

			
	
			
				 J.
			Assets Property of the Estate.  The Purchased Assets are property of the Selling Debtors’ estates and title thereto is vested in the Selling Debtors’ estates.

			
	
			
				 K.
			Sale in Best Interests.  The actions represented to be taken by the Selling Debtors and the Purchaser are appropriate under the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases and are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and creditors, and other parties in interest.  Approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement and of the Sale and all related transactions

			at this time is in the best interests of the Debtors, their creditors, their estates, and all other parties in interest.  

			
	
			
				 L.
			No Sub Rosa Plan.  The consummation of the Sale outside of a chapter 11 plan pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement neither impermissibly restructures the rights of the Debtors’ creditors nor impermissibly dictates the terms of a plan of reorganization or liquidation for the Debtors.  The Sale and the transactions contemplated therein do not constitute a sub rosa plan.

			
	
			
				 M.
			Arm’s-Length Sale.  The Asset Purchase Agreement, the Sale and the transactions contemplated therein and associated therewith were negotiated, proposed, and entered into by the Selling Debtors and the Purchaser without collusion, in good faith, and from arm’s-length bargaining positions.  Neither the Debtors, their insiders and affiliates, nor the Purchaser have engaged in any conduct that would cause or permit the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Sale, or any part of the transactions thereby to be avoided under section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

			
	
			
				 N.
			Good Faith Purchaser.  The Purchaser is a good faith purchaser under section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and, as such, is entitled to all of the protections afforded thereby.

			
	
			
				 O.
			Prompt Consummation.  The Sale and the transactions related thereto must be approved and consummated as promptly as practicable in order to preserve the value of the Purchased Assets.

			
	
			
				 P.
			Corporate Authority.  Each Selling Debtor (i) has full corporate power and authority to execute the Asset Purchase Agreement and all other documents contemplated thereby, and the Sale has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action of each of the Selling Debtors, (ii) has all of the corporate power and authority necessary to

				 Q.
			Free and Clear Findings Required by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser would not have entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement and would not consummate the Sale if the Assets were not being sold to the Purchaser pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, free and clear, except for Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities, of (i) all liens (statutory or otherwise), claims, mortgages, deeds of trust, pledges, charges, security interests, charges, rights of first refusal, hypothecations, encumbrances, royalties, easements, leases or subleases, rights-of-way, encroachments, restrictive covenants, restrictions on transferability or other similar restrictions, rights of offset or recoupment, subleases, leases or conditional sale arrangements (collectively, the “Liens”), (ii) all claims as defined in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all rights or causes of action (whether in law or in equity), Proceedings, warranties, guarantees, indemnities, rights of recovery, setoff, recoupment, indemnity or contribution, obligations, demands, restrictions, indemnification claims or liabilities relating to any act or omission of the Selling Debtors or any other person prior to the Closing, consent rights, options, contract rights, covenants and interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (known or unknown, matured or unmatured, accrued or contingent and regardless of whether currently exercisable), whether arising prior to or subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, and whether imposed by agreement, understanding, law, equity or otherwise (collectively the “Claims”), and (iii) all debts, liabilities, obligations, contractual rights and claims and labor, employment and pension claims, in each case, whether known or

			Act, as amended, (g) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (h) the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, including, without limitation, the requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code and of any similar state law (collectively, “COBRA”), (i) state discrimination laws, (j) state unemployment compensation laws or any other similar state laws, or (k) any other state or federal benefits or claims relating to any employment with the Debtors or any of their predecessors; (viii) the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 or its associated regulations; (ix) penalties of any kind whatsoever assessed against the Debtors by the United States Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration; (x) any bulk sales or similar law; (xi) any tax statutes or ordinances, including, without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any taxes arising under or out of, in connection with, or in any way relating to the operation of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing; (xii) any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is not an Assigned Contract that will be assumed and assigned pursuant to this Order and the Asset Purchase Agreement; (xiii) any other Excluded Liabilities as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement.  A sale of the Purchased Assets other than one free and clear of all Liens, Claims, and Interests would yield substantially less value for the Debtors' estates, with less certainty, than the Sale as contemplated.  Therefore, the Sale contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Interests, except for Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities, is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and creditors, and all other parties in interest.

			
	
			
				 R.
			Binding and Valid Transfer.  The transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser will be a legal, valid, and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets and, except for the Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities, will vest the Purchaser with all right,

			title, and interest of the Selling Debtors to the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens, Claims, and Interests and any liabilities of the Selling Debtors.

			
	
			
				 S.
			Satisfaction of 363(f) Standards.  The Selling Debtors may sell the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever, because, in each case, one or more of the standards set forth in section 363(f)(1)-(5) of the Bankruptcy Code has been satisfied.  Those holders of Liens, Claims and Interests, and non-Debtor parties to the Assigned Contracts who did not object, or who withdrew their objections, to the Motion are deemed to have consented pursuant to section 363(f)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In all cases, each such person with Liens, Claims or Interests in the Purchased Assets is enjoined from taking any action against the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s affiliates or any agent of the foregoing to recover any such Lien, Claim or Interest.

			
	
			
				 T.
			Necessity of Order.  The Purchaser would not have entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement and would not consummate the transactions without all of the relief provided for in this Order (including, but not limited to, that the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser be free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Interests).  The consummation of the transactions pursuant to this Order and the Asset Purchase Agreement is necessary for the Debtors to maximize the value of their estates for the benefit of all creditors and other parties in interest.

			
	
			
				 U.
			Assigned Contracts.  The Selling Debtors have demonstrated that it is an exercise of their sound business judgment to sell, assume and assign the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases listed on Schedule 2.1(h) of the Asset Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Assigned Contracts”, and individually, an “Assigned Contract”) to the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the Sale, and the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and creditors, and other

			parties in interest.  The Assigned Contracts being assigned to the Purchaser are an integral part of the Purchased Assets being purchased by the Purchaser, and, accordingly, such assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts and the liabilities associated therewith are reasonable and enhance the value of the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates.

			
	
			
				 V.
			Cure and Adequate Assurance.  The Selling Debtors have cured or the Selling Debtors have demonstrated their ability to cure any default with respect to any act or omission that occurred prior to the Closing under any of the Assigned Contracts, within the meaning of section 365(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The proposed Cure Amounts or any other cure amount reached by agreement after a Cure Payment Objection are deemed the amounts necessary to “cure” within the meaning of section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code all “defaults” within the meaning of section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code under such Assigned Contracts.  Pursuant to the terms of Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser shall pay all such cure amounts directly to the counterparties to the Assigned Contracts.  The Purchaser’s promise to perform the obligations under the Assigned Contracts arising after the Closing shall constitute adequate assurance of its future performance of and under the Assigned Contracts, within the meaning of sections 365(b)(1) and 365(f)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  All counterparties to the Assigned Contracts who did not file a Cure Payment Objection or an objection to the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts prior to the Sale Hearing, are deemed to consent to the assumption by the Debtors of their respective Assigned Contract and the assignment thereof to the Purchaser.  The objections of all counterparties to the Assigned Contracts that did file an objection to the assumption and assignment of such parties’ respective Assigned Contract or proposed Cure Amount relating thereto were heard at the Sale Hearing (to the extent not withdrawn), were considered by this Court, and are overruled on the merits with prejudice.  This Court finds that with respect to all such Assigned Contracts the

			payment of the proposed Cure Amounts in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement is appropriate and is deemed to fully satisfy the Debtors’ obligations under section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  This Court further finds that the Assumption and Assignment Procedures were reasonable and gave contract counterparties adequate notice of and opportunity to respond to the proposed assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts.  Accordingly, all of the requirements of section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied for the assumption and the assignment by the Debtors to the Purchaser of each of the Assigned Contracts.  To the extent any Assigned Contract is not an executory contract within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, it shall be transferred to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Order that are applicable to the Purchased Assets.

			
	
			
				 W.
			Unenforceability of Anti-Assignment Provisions.  Anti-assignment provisions in any Assigned Contract shall not restrict, limit, or prohibit the assumption, assignment, and sale of the Assigned Contracts and should be deemed and found to be unenforceable anti-assignment provisions within the meaning of section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.

			
	
			
				 X.
			Final Order.  This Order constitutes a final order within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 158(a).  Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d), this Court expressly finds that there is no just reason for delay in the implementation of this Order and expressly directs entry of judgment as set forth herein.

			
	
			
				 Y.
			Entry of this Order is in the best interests of the Debtors, the Debtors’ estates, their creditors, and other parties in interest.

			Objections are Overruled.  Any objections to the entry of this Order or to the relief granted herein or the relief requested in the Motion, including any objections to the proposed Cure Amounts or the assumption and assignment of any Assigned Contracts, that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled, or not otherwise resolved pursuant to the terms hereof, if any, are hereby denied and overruled on the merits with prejudice.

			
	
			
				 3.
			Approval.  The Asset Purchase Agreement, and all the terms and conditions thereof, is approved.  Pursuant to sections 105, 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Selling Debtors are authorized to perform their obligations under, and comply with the terms of, the Asset Purchase Agreement and consummate the Sale and the related transactions pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and this Order.  The Selling Debtors are authorized to execute and deliver, and empowered to perform under, consummate, and implement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, together with all additional instruments and documents that the Selling Debtors or the Purchaser deem necessary or appropriate to implement the Asset Purchase Agreement and effectuate the transactions contemplated therein, and to take all further actions as may reasonably be required by the Purchaser for the purpose of assigning, transferring, granting, conveying, and conferring to the Purchaser or reducing to Purchaser’s possession the Purchased Assets or as may be necessary or appropriate to the performance of the obligations as contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

			
	
			
				 4.
			Binding Effect of Order.  This Order and the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be binding in all respects upon all known and unknown creditors of, and holders of equity security interests in, any Debtor, including any holders of Liens, Claims and Interests, all counterparties to the Assigned Contracts, all successors and assigns of the Purchaser, each of the Debtors and their Affiliates and subsidiaries, the Purchased Assets, and any trustees appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases or upon a conversion to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and this Order shall not be subject to amendment or modification and the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not be subject to rejection.

			to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the terms of this Order shall apply in the event the Sale under the Asset Purchase Agreement is consummated by and under any chapter 11 plan, and may be incorporated into any confirmation order.  Nothing contained in any chapter 11 plan confirmed in the Chapter 11 Cases or the order confirming any such chapter 11 plan shall conflict with or derogate from the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement or this Order.

			
	
			
				 5.
			Injunction.  All persons and entities are prohibited and enjoined from taking any action to adversely affect or interfere with the ability of the Selling Debtors to transfer the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement and this Order.  Following the Closing, except for persons entitled to enforce Assumed Liabilities and Permitted Encumbrances, all Persons (including, but not limited to, (i) the Debtors and/or their respective successors (including any trustee), (ii) creditors, (iii) investors, (iv) current and former employees and shareholders, (v) administrative agencies, (vi) governmental units, (vii) secretaries of state, (viii) federal, state, and local officials, including those maintaining any authority relating to any environmental, health and safety laws, and (ix) the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing) holding Liens, Claims or Interests in the Purchased Assets or against the Selling Debtors in respect of the Purchased Assets of any kind or nature whatsoever shall be, and hereby are, forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from asserting, prosecuting, or otherwise pursuing any Liens, Claims or Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser or any of their respective property, successors and assigns, or the Purchased Assets, as an alleged successor or on any other grounds.  No Person shall assert, and the Purchaser and the Purchased Assets shall not be subject to, any defaults, breaches, counterclaims, offsets, defenses (whether contractual or otherwise, including, without limitation, any right of recoupment), liabilities, claims and interests, or basis of any kind or nature whatsoever to delay, defer, or impair any right of the Purchaser or the Selling Debtors, or any obligation of any other party, under or with respect to, any Purchased Assets, with respect to any act or omission that occurred prior to the Closing or with respect to any other agreement or any obligation of the Debtors that is not an Assumed Liability.

				 6.
			General Assignment.  Upon the Closing, this Order shall be construed and shall constitute for any and all purposes a full and complete general assignment, conveyance, and transfer of the Selling Debtors’ interests in the Purchased Assets and a bill of sale transferring good and marketable title in the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Interests, except for the Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities.  Each and every federal, state, and local governmental agency, quasi-agency, or department is hereby directed to accept any and all documents and instruments necessary and appropriate to consummate the transactions.

			
	
			
				 7.
			Transfer Free and Clear.  Except for the Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities, pursuant to sections 105(a) and 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to the Purchaser as required under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and such transfer shall be free and clear of all Liens, Claims, and Interests of any Person, including, without limitation, all such Liens, Claims, and Interests specifically enumerated in paragraph Q of this Order, whether arising by agreement, by statute or otherwise and whether occurring or arising before, on or after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, occurring or arising prior to such transfer, with all such Liens, Claims and Interests to attach to the proceeds of the Sale ultimately attributable to the property against or in which the holder of a Lien, Claim or Interest claims or may claim a Lien, Claim or Interest, in the order of their priority, with the same validity, force, and effect which they now have, subject to any claims and defenses the Selling Debtors may possess with respect thereto.  No proceeds of the Sale shall be paid to any party or otherwise used by the Debtors except in accordance with the Final Order (A) Authorizing Post-Petition Use of Cash Collateral, (B) Granting Adequate Protection to Secured Parties, and (C) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 452] or pursuant to a further order of the Court after written notice and an opportunity to object and be heard is given to parties in interest.  

			
	
			
				 8.
			Valid Transfer.  The transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid, and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets and shall vest the Purchaser with all right, title, and interest of the Selling Debtors in and to the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever, except for the Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities.

			Exculpation and Release.  Neither the Purchaser nor any of its affiliates, successors, and assigns, shall have, or incur any liability to, or be subject to any action by, the Debtors or any of their predecessors, successors, or assigns, arising out of the negotiation, investigation, preparation, execution, or delivery of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the entry into and consummation of the Sale, except as expressly provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement and this Order.

			
	
			
				 10.
			Direction to Release Interests.  Upon the Closing, each of the Selling Debtors’ creditors and any other holder of a Lien, Claim or Interest is authorized and directed to execute such documents and take all other actions as may be necessary to release its Lien, Claim or Interest in the Purchased Assets, if any, as such Lien, Claim or Interest may have been recorded or may otherwise exist.  If any person or entity that has filed financing statements, mortgages, mechanic’s liens, lis pendens, or other documents or agreements evidencing a Lien, Claim or Interest in the Selling Debtors or the Purchased Assets shall not have delivered to the Selling Debtors prior to the Closing, in proper form for filing and executed by the appropriate parties, termination statements, instruments of satisfaction, releases of all Liens, Claims and Interests, which the person or entity has with respect to the Debtors or the Purchased Assets or otherwise, then (i) the Selling Debtors are authorized to execute and file such statements, instruments, releases, and other documents on behalf of the person or entity with respect to the Debtors or the Purchased Assets, and (ii) the Purchaser is authorized to file, register, or otherwise record a certified copy of this Order, which shall constitute conclusive evidence of the release of all Liens, Claims and Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever in the Selling Debtors or the Purchased Assets.  Each and every federal, state, and local governmental agency or department is hereby directed to accept any and all documents and instruments necessary and appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, recordation of this Order.  This Order shall be binding upon and shall govern the acts of all Persons including without limitation, all filing agents, filing officers, title agents, title companies, recorders of mortgages, recorders of deeds, registrars of deeds, administrative agencies, governmental departments (including, without limitation, the Nevada Department of Taxation), secretaries of state, federal, state, and local officials, and all other Persons who may be required by operation of law, the duties of their office, or

				 11.
			No Interference.  Following the Closing, no holder of any Lien, Claim or Interest in the Purchased Assets (except holder of Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities solely in accordance with applicable law) shall interfere with the Purchaser’s title to, or use and enjoyment of, the Purchased Assets based on, or related to, any such Lien, Claim or Interest, or based on any actions the Selling Debtors may take in the Chapter 11 Cases.

			
	
			
				 12.
			Surrender of Possession.  All entities that are currently, or on the Closing may be, in possession of some or all of the Purchased Assets are hereby directed to surrender possession of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser on the Closing, unless the Purchaser otherwise agrees.

			
	
			
				 13.
			Post-Closing Actions and Transactions.   The Selling Debtors and the Purchaser, and each of their respective officers, employees, and agents, will be authorized and empowered to take all actions and execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments that either the Selling Debtors or the Purchaser deem necessary or appropriate to implement and effectuate the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and this Order.  Further, effective as of the Closing, the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, shall be designated and appointed the Selling Debtors’ true and lawful attorney and attorneys, with full power of substitution, in the Selling Debtors’ name and stead, its successors and assigns, to demand and receive any and all of the Purchased Assets, and from time to time institute and prosecute in the name of the Purchaser, for the benefit of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that the Purchaser, its successors or assigns, may deem proper for the collection or reduction to possession of any of the Purchased Assets, and to do all acts and things with respect to the Purchased Assets that the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, shall deem desirable.  All of the foregoing powers granted to the Purchaser are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by the Selling Debtors.

			Sale is Self-Executing.  The Sale is self-executing, and neither the Selling Debtors nor the Purchaser shall be required to execute or file releases, termination statements, assignments, consents, or other instruments to effectuate, consummate, and implement the provisions of this Order.

			
	
			
				 15.
			No Discriminatory Treatment.  To the extent provided by section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code, no governmental unit may deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew any permit, license, or similar grant relating to the operation of the Purchased Assets sold, transferred, or conveyed to the Purchaser on account of the filing or pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

			
	
			
				 16.
			Assumption and Assignment of Contracts.  Pursuant to sections 105(a), 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and subject to and conditioned upon the Closing, the Selling Debtors’ sale, assumption and assignment to the Purchaser of the Assigned Contracts is approved, and the requirements of section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect thereto are deemed satisfied.  In addition, the Assumption and Assignment Procedures are reasonable and approved in their entirety.

			
	
			
				 17.
			The Debtors are authorized and directed in accordance with sections 105(a) and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to (i) assume and assign to the Purchaser, effective as of the Closing, as provided by, and in accordance with, the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Assigned Contracts free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever, other than the Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities, and (ii) execute and deliver to the Purchaser such documents or other instruments as the Purchaser reasonably deems necessary to assign and transfer the Assigned Contracts to the Purchaser.

			
	
			
				 18.
			The Assigned Contracts shall be transferred and assigned to, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and thereafter remain in full force and effect for the benefit of, the Purchaser, notwithstanding any provision in any such Assigned Contract (including those of the type described in sections 365(b)(2), (e)(1), and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code) that prohibits, restricts, or conditions such assignment or transfer.  The Debtors shall be relieved from any further liability with respect to the Assigned Contracts after such assumption and assignment to the Purchaser.  The Debtors may assign each Assigned Contract in accordance with sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and any

			provisions in any Assigned Contracts that prohibit or condition the assignment of such Assigned Contracts or terminate, recapture, impose any penalty, condition renewal or extension, or modify any term or condition upon the assignment of such Assigned Contracts, constitute unenforceable anti‐assignment provisions which are void and of no force and effect.  All other requirements and conditions under sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code for the assumption by the Debtors and assignment to the Purchaser of each Assigned Contract have been satisfied.

			
	
			
				 19.
			All defaults and all other obligations or liabilities under any Assigned Contract occurring, arising or accruing prior to the date of the assignment or transfer to the Purchaser shall be deemed cured or satisfied upon payment by the Purchaser of the proposed Cure Amount or any other cure amount reached by agreement after a Cure Payment Objection, and, without limiting the foregoing, no effect shall be given to any default of the type set forth in section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or the type of default concerning an unexpired lease of real property described in section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code whether or not such Assigned Contract is an executory contract within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Cure Amounts listed on Schedule 3.7(c) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, or any other cure amount reached by agreement after a Cure Payment Objection, reflect the sole amounts necessary under section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to cure all monetary defaults under the Assigned Contracts, and no other amounts are or shall be due to the non-Debtor parties in connection with the assumption by the Debtors and assignment to the Purchaser of the Assigned Contracts.

			
	
			
				 20.
			Except as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement or this Order, after the Closing, the Debtors and their estates shall have no further liabilities or obligations with respect to any Assigned Contract, and all holders of such claims arising from and after Closing under any Assigned Contract are forever barred and estopped from asserting any claims under any Assigned Contract against the Debtors, their successors or assigns, and their estates.

			
	
			
				 21.
			The failure of the Debtors or the Purchaser to enforce at any time one or more terms or conditions of any Assigned Contract shall not be a waiver of such terms or conditions, or of the Debtors’ and the Purchaser’s rights to enforce every term and condition of the Assigned Contracts.

			No Successor Liability.  Except for the Assumed Liabilities, to be paid solely to the extent provided for in the Asset Purchase Agreement and this Sale Order, neither the Purchaser, nor any of its successors or assigns, or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability for any Lien, Claim or Interest that arose or occurred prior to the Closing, or otherwise is assertable against the Selling Debtors or is related to the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser is not and shall not be deemed a “successor” to the Selling Debtors or their estates, have, de facto or otherwise, merged with or into the Debtors or be a mere continuation or substantial continuation of the Selling Debtors or the enterprise of the Selling Debtors under any theory of law or equity as a result of any action taken in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement or any of the transactions or documents ancillary thereto or contemplated thereby or in connection with the acquisition of the Purchased Assets.

			
	
			
				 23.
			Without limiting the foregoing, and except to the extent the Purchaser assumes the Assumed Liabilities, or takes the Purchased Assets subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, or as otherwise set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall not have any successor, transferee, derivative, or vicarious liabilities of any kind or character for any Liens, Claims or Interests, including under any theory of successor or transferee liability, de facto merger or continuity, whether known or unknown as of the Closing, now existing or hereafter arising, whether fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, with respect to of any of the following: (i) any foreign, federal, state, or local revenue, pension, ERISA, tax, labor, employment, antirust, environmental, or other law, rule, or regulation (including without limitation filing requirements under any such laws, rules or regulations); (ii) under any products liability law, rule, regulation, or doctrine with respect to the Debtors’ liability under such law, rule or regulation, or doctrine, or under any product warranty liability law or doctrine; (iii) any employment or labor agreements, consulting agreements, severance arrangements, change-in-control agreements, or other similar agreement to which the Debtors are a party; (iv) any pension, welfare, compensation, or other employee benefit plans, agreements, practices, and programs, including, without limitation, any pension plan of the Debtors; (v) the cessation of the Debtors’ operations, dismissal of employees, or termination of employment or labor agreements or pension, welfare, compensation, or other employee benefit plans, agreements, practices and programs,

The consideration provided by the Purchaser for the Purchased Assets under the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration under the Bankruptcy Code and under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia.  The Sale may not be avoided under section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Asset Purchase Agreement was not entered into, and the Sale is not being consummated, for the purpose of hindering, delaying, or defrauding creditors of the Debtors under the Bankruptcy Code or under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession thereof, or the District of Columbia, or any other applicable law.  Neither the Selling Debtors nor the Purchaser have entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement or any agreement contemplated thereby or are consummating the Sale with any fraudulent or otherwise improper purpose, including, without limitation, to evade any pension liabilities.  No other person or entity or group of persons or entities has offered to purchase the Purchased Assets for an amount that would provide greater value to the Debtors and their estates than the value provided by the Purchaser.  The Court’s approval of the Motion and the Asset Purchase Agreement are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and creditors, and all other parties in interest.

			Retention of Jurisdiction.  This Court retains jurisdiction, pursuant to its statutory powers under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), to, among other things, interpret, implement, and enforce the terms and provisions of this Order, all amendments thereto, and any waivers and consents thereunder, including, but not limited to, retaining jurisdiction to (i) compel delivery of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser; (ii) interpret, implement, and enforce the provisions of this Order; (iii) protect the Purchaser, any of the Purchaser's affiliates, or any agent of the foregoing, against any Liens, Claims or Interests against the Selling Debtors or the Purchased Assets of any kind or nature whatsoever, except for the Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities and (iv) enter any order under sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

			
	
			
				 26.
			Good Faith Purchaser.  The transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement are undertaken by the Purchaser without collusion and in good faith, as that term is used in section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, accordingly, the reversal or modification on appeal of the authorization provided in this Order to consummate the transactions shall not affect the validity of the transactions (including the assumption and assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts).  The Purchaser is a purchaser in good faith of the Purchased Assets and is entitled to all the protections afforded by section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

				 28.
			Subsequent Plan Provisions.  Nothing contained in any chapter 11 plan confirmed in any Debtor’s bankruptcy case or any order confirming any such plan or in any other order in the Chapter 11 Cases shall alter, conflict with, or derogate from, the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement or this Order.

			
	
			
				 29.
			Inconsistencies with Prior Orders, Pleadings or Agreements.  To the extent this Order is inconsistent with any prior order or pleading with respect to the Motion in the Chapter 11 Cases, the terms of this Order shall govern and any prior orders shall be deemed amended or otherwise modified to the extent required to permit consummation of the Sale.

				 30.
			Failure to Specify Provisions.  The failure to specifically include any particular provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement in this Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of this Court that the Asset Purchase Agreement be authorized and approved in its entirety.

			
	
			
				 31.
			Non-Material Modifications.  The Asset Purchase Agreement and any related agreements, documents, or other instruments may be modified, amended, or supplemented by the parties thereto and in accordance with the terms thereof, without further order of this Court, provided that any such modification, amendment, or supplement does not, based on the Debtors’ judgment, have any adverse effect on the Debtors’ estates.

			
	
			
				 32.
			No Stay or Order.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d), this Order shall not be stayed for fourteen (14) days after its entry and shall be effective immediately upon entry, and the Selling Debtors and the Purchaser are authorized to close the transactions immediately upon entry of this Order.  Time is of the essence in closing the transactions referenced herein, and the Selling Debtors and the Purchaser intend to close the transactions as soon as practicable.  This Order is a final order and the period in which an appeal must be filed shall commence upon the entry of this Order.  

			
	
			
				 33.
			Appointment of Trustee.  The provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and this Order may be specifically enforced in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement notwithstanding the appointment of any chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee after the Closing.

			
	
			
				 34.
			Barrick Claims.  Effective as of the Closing, assuming the Closing (as defined in the Barrick Asset Purchase Agreement) shall have occurred prior to, or contemporaneously with, the Closing, all Claims of Barrick against any of the Debtors, including the Selling Debtors, whether or not such Claims were asserted by Barrick in its proofs of claim (Claim Nos. 223 and 224) filed in these Chapter 11 Cases or scheduled by any of the Debtors, are disallowed in their entirety and there shall be no recovery from the Debtors, including the Selling Debtors, in respect of such Claims.
