                the
                bidding process, such that if the bid is $8,000,000 the Stalking
                Horse may
                bid such amount in cash ($7,950,000) plus the value of the Breakup
                Fee
                ($150,000) to match the $8,000,000 bid for a total bid of $8,100,000.

      purchase the Purchased Assets submitted by a party other than the Stalking
      Horse
      or enters an order confirming a plan of reorganization of Seller (other than

      than
      the closing of the sale of the Purchased Assets to a third party;

      Sale
      Hearing that the Court approve the proposed sale of the Purchased Assets to
      the
      Stalking Horse under the Stalking Horse APA.

      the
      underlying agreement between the Alternative Buyer and Seller, the “Alternative
      APA”)
      is
      approved by the Bankruptcy Court at the hearing on the Sale Motion, this
      Agreement shall become an approved “back-up bid” which may, if exercised by
      written election by Purchaser and delivered to Seller with twenty four (24)
      hours of the completion of the Sale hearing, remain open for acceptance by
      Seller for a period of thirty (30) days following the date upon which such
      hearing is concluded, but subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights
      of the Alternative Buyer under the Alternative APA. 

     

    Section
      3.3. Certain
      Bankruptcy Undertakings by Seller.

     

    (a) Seller
      shall, in good faith, using its commercially reasonable efforts, seek entry
      of
      the Sale Order no later than November 15, 2008 and take such actions following
      the Execution Date as are necessary to consummate the Transactions contemplated
      by this Agreement in accordance with Sale Order and effectuate the Closing
      no
      later than December 31, 2008 (the “Outside
      Date.”).

    (b) Recognizing
      that the transaction contemplated herein is subject to overbid, from and after
      the date hereof, except as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court and as is reasonably
      necessary to adequately market the Assets for overbid, Seller shall neither
      take
      any action, nor fail to take any action, which action or failure to act would
      reasonably be expected to (i) prevent or impede the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms of
      this
      Agreement; or (ii) result in (A) the reversal, avoidance, revocation, vacating
      or modification (in any manner that would reasonably be expected to materially
      and adversely affect Purchaser’s rights hereunder), or (B) the entry of a stay
      pending appeal.

     

    (c) Seller
      shall, in good faith, using its commercially reasonable efforts and with the
      cooperative efforts of Purchaser, attempt to obtain in the Sale Order an
      exemption from Transfer Taxes pursuant to Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy
      Code. 

     

    (d) If
      the
      Sale Procedures Order, the Sale Order or any other order of the Bankruptcy
      Court
      relating to this Agreement shall be appealed by any Person (or a petition for
      certiorari
      or
      motion for rehearing or reargument shall be filed with respect thereto), Seller,
      with the cooperation and support of Purchaser, shall take all steps as may
      be
      reasonable and appropriate to defend against such appeal, petition or motion,
      and shall endeavor to obtain an expedited resolution of such
      appeal.

      of Consideration.
      

     

    (a) INTENTIONALLY
      OMITTED

     

    (b) Prior
      to
      Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller Purchaser’s proposed allocation (the
“Allocation
      Statement”)
      of the
      Consideration (including, without limitation, the Assumed Liabilities) among
      the
      Purchased Assets. The Allocation Statement shall allocate the Consideration
      and
      any item required to be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration among
      the
      various assets comprising the Purchased Assets in accordance with Treasury
      Regulation 1.1060-1 (or any comparable provisions of state or local tax law)
      or
      any successor provision. If Seller agrees with the Allocation Statement and
      the
      allocation among the Purchased Assets set forth therein, Purchaser and Seller
      shall report and file all tax returns (including any amended tax returns and
      claims for refund) consistent with such mutually agreed Consideration
      allocation, and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent
      therewith (including in any audits or examinations by any taxing authority
      or
      any other proceedings). Purchaser and Seller shall file or cause to be filed
      any
      and all forms (including U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8594), statements
      and schedules with respect to such allocation, including any required amendments

      with the Allocation Statement, Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially
      reasonable efforts to agree upon the allocation of the Consideration among
      the
      Purchased Assets. In any event, Seller agrees to take no position in its tax
      returns, which are inconsistent with the Purchaser’s allocations of the
      Consideration for tax purposes. Seller shall be responsible for all fees
      associated with the preparation of tax returns. Notwithstanding any other
      provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser’s and Seller’s obligations under this
Section
      5.2
      shall
      survive Closing.

      can be determined to relate to any time period up to and including the Closing
      Date and Purchaser liable to the extent that such items can be determined to
      relate to periods subsequent to the Closing Date; provided,
      however,
      that
      for periods of time which straddle the Closing Date and for which the amounts
      attributable to any item cannot be readily allocable to a particular date,
      the
      obligations and liabilities shall be prorated between the Purchaser and the
      Seller based upon the total amount of days in any allocable period and the
      amount of days which precede the Closing (allocable to the Seller) and the
      amount of days during such period which are on or are on or after the Closing
      (allocable to the Purchaser):

    (f) Prepaid
      expenses of Seller to the extent that the benefit thereof will be available
      to
      Purchaser after the Closing Date.

     

    Seller
      shall be responsible for all sales, transfer and documentary Taxes and recording
      fees and Taxes applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or imposed
      by
      reason of the transfers of the Purchased Assets provided under this Agreement
      and any deficiency, interest or penalty asserted with respect thereto
      (collectively, the “Transfer
      Taxes”).

    SELLER’S

    Section
      9.1. Conduct
      of Business.
      Subject
      to any restrictions and obligations imposed by the Bankruptcy Court, Seller
      will
      not, without Purchaser’s consent, engage in any practice, take any action, or
      enter into any transaction outside the Ordinary Course of Business, including,
      without limitation, any amendment or change to its employee retention program,
      or any employment agreements between Seller and its employees. Without limiting
      the generality of the foregoing (but subject to the express limitation set
      forth
      in the immediately preceding sentence), Seller will, other than in the Ordinary
      Course of Business, refrain from doing any of the following in respect of the
      Purchased Assets: (i) disposing of, or transferring, any material Purchased
      Asset, (ii) transferring any tangible Purchased Asset to any other location
      to
      the extent that such other location is not among the locations which is the
      subject of an Assumed Lease or otherwise part of the Purchased Assets, (iii)
      except as otherwise provided or required in this Agreement, terminating,
      amending or modifying the material terms of any of the Assumed Contracts,
      Assumed Leases or Personal Property Leases; or (iv) making any change in the

      other than increases or promotions in the Ordinary Course of Business or
      compensation provided for in Seller’s key employee retention or similar program
      or employment agreements, approved by the Bankruptcy Court; provided,
      however,
      notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, Seller
      may,
      upon prior written notice to Purchaser in their reasonable discretion take
      such
      actions in connection with or as a result of the consequences (adverse or
      otherwise) of filing the Chapter 11 Case, if any, to cure defaults in respect
      of
      the Assumed Contracts, Assumed Leases or Personal Property Leases.

     

    Section
      9.2. Mutual
      Covenants.
      The
      parties hereto mutually covenant (and subject to the other terms of this
      Agreement):

     

    (a) from
      the
      date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, to cooperate with each other in
      determining whether filings are required to be made or consents required to
      be
      obtained in any jurisdiction in connection with the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in making or causing to be
      made
      any such filings promptly and in seeking to obtain timely any such consents
      (each party hereto shall furnish to the other and to the other’s counsel all
      such information as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the
      foregoing action), which consents shall not, in any event, include any consent
      the need for which is obviated by the Sale Order or otherwise by the provisions
      of the Bankruptcy Code;

    (b) after
      the
      Closing Date, each of the parties hereto will give, or cause to be given, to
      the
      other and/or the other’s representatives, during normal business hours: (i)
      reasonable access, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to its personnel,
      properties, titles, contracts, books, records, files and documents
      (collectively, the “Documentation”);
      provided,
      however,
      Seller
      shall only be entitled to such reasonable access from Purchaser as required
      in
      connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or as is otherwise
      necessary or appropriate in connection with Seller’s ongoing administration
      and/or closing of the Bankruptcy Case; and (ii) at the requesting party’s
      expense, copies of such Documentation, as necessary to allow the requesting
      party to obtain information in connection with any claims, demands, other
      audits, suits, actions or proceedings by or against such requesting party as
      the
      owner and operator of the Purchased Assets and the Business or otherwise in
      furtherance of the purposes described in clause (i) above, including, without
      limitation, in connection with Seller’s bankruptcy proceedings. In connection
      with access to the records of a party’s accountants, the requesting party shall
      execute and deliver such “hold harmless” agreements as the other party’s
      accountants may reasonably request; and

     

    (c) from
      the
      date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, to advise the other parties promptly
      if such party determines that any condition precedent to its obligations
      hereunder will not be satisfied in a timely manner.

     

    Section
      9.3. Filings
      and Authorizations.
      The
      parties hereto shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be made all such
      filings and submissions as may be required to consummate the terms of this
      Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall keep each other apprised of the status
      of
      any communications with, and inquiries or requests for additional information
      from, any Governmental Authority, and shall comply promptly with any such
      inquiry or request. Seller shall not make any filings or submissions without
      the
      prior approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably
      withheld.

     

    Section
      9.4. Access
      to Information.

     

    (a) Prior
      to
      and through the date on which the Sale Order is entered by the Bankruptcy Court,
      Seller shall, so long as such cooperation and access are not materially
      disruptive of Seller’s operation of the Business, cooperate with Purchaser and
      shall give Purchaser and its representatives (including Purchaser’s accountants,
      consultants, counsel and employees), upon reasonable notice and during normal
      business hours, full access to the properties (including any Leased Real
      Property), contracts, leases, equipment, employees, affairs, books, documents,
      records and other information of Seller to the extent relating to the Business,
      the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities, and any other aspect of this
      Agreement and shall cause their respective officers, employees, agents and
      representatives to furnish to Purchaser all available documents, records and
      other information (and copies thereof), to the extent relating to the Business,
      the Purchased Assets, Assumed Liabilities, and any other aspect of this
      Agreement as Purchaser may reasonably request. Purchaser expressly acknowledges
      and agrees that nothing in this Section
      9.4
      is
      intended to give rise to a condition or contingency of any kind to Purchaser’s
      obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated in this
      Agreement.

    (b) Seller
      agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent from any third
      party with respect to a restriction against allowing Purchaser to receive and
      review any contract, agreement or lease of Seller.

     

    Section
      9.5. Public
      Announcement.
      Subject
      to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Seller’s right to make such filings
      and disclosures as it in good faith deems necessary or appropriate in connection
      with the Bankruptcy Case, no party hereto shall make or issue, or cause to
      be
      made or issued, any public announcement or written statement concerning this
      Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written
      consent of the other party hereto (which will not be unreasonably withheld
      or
      delayed), unless counsel to such party advises that such announcement or
      statement is required by law (such as an obligation to disclose under federal
      securities laws of the United States) (in which case the parties hereto shall
      make reasonable efforts to consult with each other prior to such required
      announcement).

     

    Section
      9.6. Taxes.

    Section
      9.7. Consents.
      Each
      party hereto will use its reasonable commercial efforts and will cooperate
      with
      the other party hereto to obtain all consents required from third persons,
      whose
      consent or approval is required pursuant to any Assumed Contract, Assumed Lease,

      transaction contemplated hereby; provided it shall be the responsibility of
      Seller to obtain any necessary such consents; and further provided that
      Purchaser and Seller agree that Seller shall not be required to obtain any
      consent the need for which is obviated by the entry of the Sale Order or
      otherwise by any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or where the failure to obtain
      such consent would have a Material Adverse Effect. In connection with the
      foregoing the Purchaser and the Seller agree that the only consents and waivers
      necessary for the consummation of the Transactions are those consents and
      waivers listed in Schedule

      contemplated in this Agreement on or before the Outside Date.

      9.9,
      Purchaser shall, effective upon the Closing, offer full-time employment to
      the
      employees who are employed by Seller as of the Closing and are listed on
Schedule
      9.9
      hereto
      (such employees other than the Key Employees, the “Employees”)
      on
      terms and conditions substantially equivalent to the terms and conditions of
      employment and benefits for current employees of Purchaser in similar job
      classifications and grades. Purchaser shall hire all of the Employees who accept
      such offer. Employees who accept such offers and become either full-time or
      part-time employees of Purchaser upon the Closing are hereinafter referred
      to as
“Transferred
      Employees.”
Seller
      shall use reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in securing the employment
      of
      the Employees.

     

    (b) The
      employment of each Transferred Employee by Seller shall end effective as of
      the
      close of business on the day before the Closing and the employment of the
      Transferred Employees by Purchaser shall commence at or after 12:01 a.m. on
      the
      day of the Closing. 

     

    (c) Coverage
      for Transferred Employees under Purchaser’s benefit plans and programs shall
      commence as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing. Purchaser shall give each Transferred
      Employee credit for such Transferred Employee’s years of most recent continuous
      service (including time during approved leaves of absences of less than
      twenty-six (26 weeks)) with Seller for purpose of determining participation
      and
      benefit levels under all of Purchaser’s vacation policies and benefit plans and
      programs, unless otherwise prohibited by law or the terms of any of Purchaser’s
      benefit plans and programs. Transferred Employees shall also receive credit
      for
      any unused vacation accrued since March 11, 2008.

    (a) Key
      Employee Agreements.
      As soon
      as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, but in any event
      prior
      to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall execute and enter into employment
      agreements with those Key Employees of Seller listed on Schedule 9.10
      hereto
      (such employees, the “Key
      Employees”),
      subject to the terms and conditions set forth in each such Key Employee
      employment agreements (and if any of such Persons are signatory to employment
      agreements with Seller, such employment agreements shall be terminated in
      writing).

     

    Section
      9.11. Further
      Assurances.
      From
      time to time after the Closing and without further consideration, Purchaser
      and
      Seller, at the request of the other, will execute and deliver such other
      instruments of conveyance and transfer or other instruments or documents, and
      take or arrange for such other actions, as may reasonably be required to effect
      any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to provide any party
      hereto with the benefits intended to be conferred and conveyed by this
      Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
      Section
      9.11
      or any
      other provision of this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be
      required to execute any document or take any action that would (i) increase
      the
      liability or obligation of the party of whom such document or action is
      requested beyond that such party would have pursuant to the other provisions
      of
      this Agreement, (ii) require or cause the party of whom such action or document
      is requested to initiate, join in or otherwise become a party to any litigation,
      action or other proceeding, (iii) cause such party to incur any material cost
      or
      expense that is not already imposed upon it by another provision of this
      Agreement. The parties undertake, for a period of two (2) years (or the
      applicable statute of limitations) after the Closing Date (or, as to Seller,
      until the Bankruptcy Case is closed if that occurs sooner), to retain at their
      own expense all records and documents relating to the Purchased Assets and
      to
      make such records and documents available for inspection and copying at
      reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, at the expense of the requesting
      party; provided, however, no party shall be required to make available records
      and documents which it is prohibited to make available by law.

     

    Section
      9.12. Survival
      of Representations and Warranties.
      None of
      the representations and warranties of Seller to Purchaser contained in this
      Agreement or made in any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant
      to
      this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder. The representations and
      warranties of the Purchaser shall survive the Closing. 

     

    Section
      9.13. “AS
      IS” Transaction; Disclaimer of Implied Warranties.
      Except
      as expressly provided in Article 7 above, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and
      agrees that Seller makes no representations or warranties whatsoever, express
      or
      implied, with respect to any matter relating to the Purchased Assets (including
      income to be derived or expenses to be incurred in connection with the Purchased
      Assets, the physical condition of any personal property comprising a part of
      the
      Purchased Assets or which is the subject of any Assumed Contract or Personal
      Property Leases, the environmental condition or other matter relating to the
      physical condition of any real property or improvements which are the subject
      of
      any Assumed Leases, the zoning of any such real property or improvements, the
      value of the Purchased Assets (or any portion thereof), the transferability
      of
      the Purchased Assets, the terms, amount, validity, collectibility or
      enforceability of any Assumed Liabilities, Assumed Contracts, Assumed Leases
      or
      Personal Property Leases, the title of the Purchased Assets (or any portion
      thereof), the merchantability or fitness of the personal property comprising
      a
      portion of the Purchased Assets or any other portion of the Purchased Assets
      for
      any particular purpose, or any other matter or thing relating to the Purchased
      Assets (or any portion thereof). Without in any way limiting the foregoing,
      except as otherwise expressly provided in Article 7 above, Sellers hereby
      disclaim any warranty (express or implied) of merchantability or fitness for
      any
      particular purpose as to any portion of the Purchased Assets. Purchaser further
      acknowledges that Purchaser has conducted an independent inspection and
      investigation of the physical condition of all portions the Purchased Assets
      and
      all such other matters relating to or affecting the Purchased Assets as
      Purchaser deemed necessary or appropriate and that in proceeding with the
      consummation of its acquisition of the Purchased Assets, except for the
      representations and warranties set forth in Article 7 above, Purchaser is doing
      so based solely upon such independent inspections and investigations.
      Accordingly, and in light of the fact that the representations and warranties
      set forth in Article 7 will lapse and terminate and be of no further force
      or
      effect following the Closing, Purchaser will accept the Purchased Assets at
      the
      Closing “AS
      IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”

      13.1. Breaches
      and Defaults; Opportunity to Cure.
      Prior
      to the exercise by a party of any termination rights afforded under this
      Agreement, if either party (the “Non-Breaching
      Party”)
      believes the other (the “Breaching
      Party”)
      to be
      in breach hereunder, the Non-Breaching Party shall provide the Breaching Party
      with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach,
      whereupon if such breach is curable the Breaching Party shall have ten (10)
      calendar days from the receipt of such notice to cure such breach to the
      reasonable satisfaction of the Non-Breaching Party; provided,
      however,
      that
      the cure period for a breach shall in no event extend beyond the Outside Date.
      If the breach is not cured within such time period, then the Non-Breaching
      Party
      shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement if the breach is such that the
      condition set forth in Section
      10.1
      or
11.1,
      as
      applicable, shall not be satisfied (as provided in Section
      13.2).
      This
      right of termination shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights
      of
      the Non-Breaching Party under Article 12 of this Agreement. Upon any termination
      with respect to which Purchaser is a Non-Breaching Party, among other equitable
      and legal rights and remedies available to purchaser, Seller shall cause the
      Consideration Deposit to be promptly returned to Purchaser.

     

    Section
      13.2. Termination.
      This
      Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated herein may be
      abandoned, by written notice given to the other party hereto, at any time prior
      to the Closing:

     

    (a) by
      mutual
      written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

    (b) by
      Seller
      or Purchaser if (i) the Bankruptcy Court enters an Order approving the sale
      of
      the Purchased Assets to a third-party purchaser following the hearing on the
      Sale Order, or (ii) the Sale Order is for any reason (other than a breach or
      default hereunder by the party seeking to terminate) not entered on or before
      the Outside Sale Order Date;

     

    (c) subject
      to the right to cure set forth in Section
      13.1
      at any
      time prior to the Closing Date, by Purchaser if Seller alters, amends or
      breaches any of the covenants in Section 9.1,
      is in
      breach of any material covenant, representation, undertaking or warranty, or
      if
      it appears that a condition set forth in Article 10 is impossible (other than
      through the failure of Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this
      Agreement) to satisfy and Purchaser has not waived such condition in writing
      on
      or before the Closing Date;

     

    (d) subject
      to the right to cure set forth in Section
      13.1,
      at any
      time prior to the Closing Date by Seller if Purchaser is in breach of any
      material covenant, representation or warranty or if it appears that a condition
      set forth in Article 11 is impossible (other than through the failure of Seller
      to comply with their obligations under this Agreement) to satisfy and Seller
      has
      not waived such condition in writing on or before the Closing Date;

     

    (e) at
      or
      prior to the Bankruptcy Court hearing regarding approval of this Agreement,
      by
      either Seller or Purchaser, if an Alternative Bid is accepted and approved
      by
      the Bankruptcy Court, subject to Section 3.1(d);

     

    (f) by
      Purchaser if Seller refuses to close for any reason whatsoever, other than
      a
      breach or default by Purchaser of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement;
      or

     

    (g) by
      Seller
      or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside
      Date, unless the failure to have the Closing shall be due to the failure of
      the
      party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform in any material respect
      its
      obligations under this Agreement required to be performed by it at or prior
      to
      the Closing.

     

    Upon
      entry of the Sale Order, the mutual termination right set forth in Section
      13.2(b)
      above
      shall cease.

      Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of

      discretionary consent of Purchaser. No party may delegate any performance of
      its
      obligations under this Agreement, except that Purchaser may at any time delegate

      Waivers.

      alteration, modification or change of this Agreement shall be valid except
      by an
      agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto. Except as otherwise
      expressly set forth herein, no failure or delay by any party hereto in
      exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (and no course of dealing
      between or among any of the parties) shall operate as a waiver of any such
      right, power or privilege. No waiver of any default on any one occasion shall
      constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default. No single or partial
      exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude the further or
      full exercise thereof.

      circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder
      of
      this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or
      circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the
      greatest extent permitted by law, but only as long as the continued validity,
      legality and enforceability of such provision or application does not materially
      (a) alter the terms of this Agreement, (b) diminish the benefits of this
      Agreement or (c) increase the burdens of this Agreement, for any
      person.

      As both
      parties have participated in the drafting of this Agreement, any ambiguity
      shall
      not be construed against either party as the drafter. Unless the context of
      this
      Agreement clearly requires otherwise, (a) “or” has the inclusive meaning
      frequently identified with the phrase “and/or,” (b) “including” has the
      inclusive meaning frequently identified with the phrase “including, but not
      limited to” and (c) references to “hereof,” “hereunder” or “herein” or words of
      similar import relate to this Agreement.

     

    Section
      15.13. Reasonable

      Bankruptcy Case, if the Bankruptcy Case is closed sooner): (i) Purchaser shall
      permit Seller’s counsel and other professionals and counsel for any successor to
      Seller and its respective professionals (collectively, “Permitted

      the
      Purchased Assets or the Business, which access shall include (xx) the right
      of
      such Permitted Access Parties to copy, at such Permitted Access Parties’
expense, such documents and records as they may request, and (yy) Purchaser’s
      copying and delivering to the relevant Permitted Access Parties such documents
      or records as they may request, but only to the extent such Permitted Access
      Parties furnish Purchaser with reasonably detailed written descriptions of
      the
      materials to be so copied and the applicable Permitted Access Party reimburses
      Purchaser for the reasonable costs and expenses thereof, and (ii) Purchaser
      shall provide the Permitted Access Parties (at no cost to the Permitted Access
      Parties) with reasonable access during regular business hours to assist Seller
      and the other Permitted Access Parties in their post-Closing activities
      (including, without limitation, preparation of tax returns), provided that
      such
      access does not materially interfere with Purchaser’s business operations and
      does not require access to Purchaser documents which are covered by a duty
      of
      confidentiality or impact protection of such documents under attorney-client
      privilege.

     

    Section
      15.14. Third

    The
      Motion For Order Authorizing Sale Of Substantially All Property Of The Estate
      Free And Clear Of Liens, Claims And Encumbrances And Authorizing Rejection
      Of
      Unassumed Contracts (the “Sale Motion”) filed by CenterStaging Musical
      Productions, Inc. (“Debtor”), the chapter 11 debtor and debtor in possession
      herein, was brought on for hearing on November 13, 2008, pursuant to a Court
      order dated October 21, 2008. Appearances at the hearings are set forth on
      the
      record. The Sale Motion seeks authorization for Debtor’s entry into and
      consummation of (i) that certain Asset Purchase Agreement between Debtor and
      Point.360, a California

    Corporation
      (the “Point.360 APA”), or alternatively if overbid by a winning Qualified Bidder
      (ii) the Asset Purchase Agreement presented by such Qualified Bidder. Mix
      Entertainment Holdings, LLC (“Mix Entertainment”) (hereinafter, Mix
      Entertainment shall refer to Mix Entertainment or its assignee under the Mix
      Entertainment APA if Mix Entertainment elects to form an entity and assign
      its
      rights under the Mix Entertainment APA) is the winning bidder, and this Sale
      Motion seeks authority for Debtor to enter into and consummate that certain
      Asset Purchase Agreement agreed to by Debtor and Mix Entertainment, a complete
      and final copy of which, executed by Mix Entertainment, is being filed
      concurrently herewith (the “Mix Entertainment APA”). Having considered the Sale
      Motion and all papers filed in conjunction therewith, the written opposition
      filed by Pacific Western Bank and Crescent International, Ltd., the written
      objections filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the
“Committee”), Debtor’s Omnibus Reply In Support Of Motion To Approve Sale Of
      Assets And Rejection Of Unassumed Leases, the Declaration of Raymond Gaston,
      the
      Mix Entertainment APA, and evidence adduced and arguments of counsel at the
      hearing:

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    THE
      COURT HEREBY FINDS that: 

    A. The
      Court
      has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§
      157
      and
      1334.

    B. The
      Debtor has established sound business justification for the proposed sale.
      Point.360 was the stalking horse bidder in connection with the sale. Mix
      Entertainment is a “Qualified Bidder” and is the winning bidder based on its
      overbid. As the Court has previously approved a break-up fee in the amount
      of
      $150,000 (the “Break-up Fee”) to be paid to Point.360 in the event Point.360 was
      not the successful bidder at the Sale Hearing, Point.360 is entitled to receive
      the Break-up Fee upon and subject to the Closing (as defined in the Mix
      Entertainment APA). A prompt Closing is in the best interest of Debtor, its
      estate and creditors.

    C. The
      Mix
      Entertainment APA was negotiated and entered into by the parties thereto in
      good
      faith, from arm’s length bargaining positions. Mix Entertainment is a good faith
      purchaser pursuant to Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

    D. The
      Consideration (as defined in the Mix Entertainment APA)
      is a
      fair and reasonable price for the Purchased Assets (as
      defined in the Mix Entertainment APA).

    E. Mix
      Entertainment is not deemed to be a successor to Debtor, to have, de
      facto
      or
      otherwise, merged with or into Debtor or to be a mere continuation of
      Debtor.

    F. All
      creditors, parties in interest and parties to any executory contract, unexpired
      lease or right of entry have been given adequate notice of this Sale Motion
      and
      the hearings thereon.

    G. All
      cure
      amounts are final and binding upon the applicable counterparty. 

    Now,
      therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that:

    1. The
      Sale
      Motion is hereby granted.

    2. All
      objections to the Sale Motion that have not been withdrawn or overruled at
      the
      hearing, as reflected on the record, are hereby overruled.

    3. Debtor
      is
      authorized to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the
      Mix
      Entertainment APA, the various documents that are contemplated by the Mix
      Entertainment APA, including documents in the forms attached as exhibits to
      the
      Mix Entertainment APA, and all other agreements and documents that may be
      reasonably necessary or desirable to implement the transactions contemplated
      by
      the Mix Entertainment APA, and to take all other actions reasonably necessary
      or
      desirable to implement the transactions contemplated by the Mix Entertainment
      APA.

    4. On
      the
      Closing Date (as defined in the Mix Entertainment APA), which shall be no later
      than December 31, 2008 unless Debtor, Mix Entertainment, the Committee and
      all
      Secured Creditors agree otherwise in writing, the Purchased Assets (as defined
      in the Mix Entertainment APA), shall be sold, transferred and assigned by the
      Debtor, acting on behalf of the Debtor’s estate, to Mix Entertainment, free and
      clear of all claims, liens and interests of every kind and nature whatsoever
      except the “Assumed Liabilities,” such sale, transfer and assignment being
      subject to the terms of the Mix Entertainment APA and the other paragraphs
      of
      this Order and pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a) and each of 11 U.S.C. §363(f)(2)
      and 11 U.S.C. §363(f)(3).

    5. Pursuant
      to each of 11 U.S.C. § 363(f)(2) and 11 U.S.C. §362(f)(3), any and all liens on
      the Purchased Assets shall be transferred from the Purchased Assets and shall
      attach instead to the proceeds of the sale of the Purchased Assets with only
      the
      same validity, extent, priority and enforceability, and subject to any
      avoidability, as shall have been the case immediately prior to Closing (as
      defined in the Mix Entertainment APA). Without limiting the preceding, any
      liens
      on any portion, and not the entirety, of the Purchased Assets immediately prior
      to the Closing shall only be transferred to the portion of the proceeds
      attributable to such specific portion of the Purchased Assets.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    6. 
      Except
      for the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Mix Entertainment as expressly
      provided in the Mix Entertainment APA, and also except for any amendment to
      this
      Order agreed by Mix Entertainment after Closing (which amendment would also
      be
      subject to agreement by the Debtor, the Committee and all Secured Creditors),
      Mix Entertainment shall have no liability or obligation to pay any obligations,
      liabilities, indebtedness, duties, responsibilities, or commitments of Debtor
      of
      any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, due
      or
      to become due (though this sentence does not alter the obligations of Mix
      Entertainment pursuant to sections 10.10 and 10.11 of the Mix Entertainment
      APA,
      as modified by paragraph 21 of this Order, nor does it alter the terms
      concerning the treatment of Personal Property Leases (as defined in the Mix
      Entertainment APA) as set forth in paragraph 12 of this Order). Mix
      Entertainment shall not have any liability or obligation for or with respect
      to
      or arising out of any “Non-Assumed Liability” as defined in the Mix
      Entertainment APA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no creditor
      of the Debtor shall commence a successor liability action against Mix
      Entertainment as a result of the sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant
      hereto.

    7. Except
      for the obligees of Assumed Liabilities, all entities holding claims or liens
      against or interests in Debtor or the Purchased Assets are hereby forever barred
      and enjoined from asserting such claims or liens against Mix Entertainment,
      its
      affiliates, successors or assigns, or the Purchased Assets.

    8. This
      Order is and shall be (a) effective as a determination that, effective upon
      the
      Closing Date, all claims, liens and interests existing as to the Purchased
      Assets, other than the Assumed Liabilities, have been unconditionally expunged,
      discharged and terminated as against the Purchased Assets, and that the sale,
      transfer and assignment of the Purchased Assets has been effected, and (b)
      as of
      the Closing Date, binding upon, and govern the acts of, all entities, including,
      without limitation, all filing or recording agents, filing or recording
      officers, title agents, title companies, recorders or registrars of mortgages,
      deeds, copyrights, trademarks, patents or other intellectual property,
      administrative agencies, governmental departments and officials, and all other
      entities that may be required by operation of law, the duties of office or
      contract, to accept, file, register or otherwise record documents or instruments
      or who may be required to report or insure title or interests in and to the
      Purchased Assets.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    9. All
      entities that are in possession of any portion of the Purchased Assets are
      hereby directed to surrender possession of such Purchased Assets to Mix
      Entertainment or its designee, as of the Closing Date.

    10. Any
      entity that has asserted a lien on the Purchased Assets shall, after the Closing
      Date, reasonably cooperate with Mix Entertainment to cause the lien to be
      expunged from public records and, to that end, shall execute and deliver to
      Mix
      Entertainment, upon the reasonable request of Mix Entertainment, any
      instruments, applications, consents or other documents that may be required
      for
      the purpose of expunging such lien from public records. Without limiting the
      generality of the foregoing, with respect to any Uniform Commercial Code
      financing statements, Mix Entertainment is authorized to act, as attorney in
      fact, on behalf of Debtor and any entity asserting a lien to (a) request
      termination statements or other appropriate amendments from the secured party
      and (b) to file a termination statement or other appropriate amendment with
      respect to the financing statement of any secured party that does not timely
      respond to a request for termination or other appropriate amendment of its
      financing statement.

    11. Debtor
      and each creditor of Debtor that has set forth in a public record a claim
      against or interest in the Purchased Assets (other than with respect to the
      Assumed Liabilities) shall, after the Closing Date, cooperate with Mix
      Entertainment to cause such claim or interest to be expunged from public records
      and, to that end, shall execute and deliver to Mix Entertainment, upon the
      reasonable request of Mix Entertainment, any instruments, applications, consents
      or other documents that may be required for the purpose of expunging such claim
      or interest from public records.

    12. Debtor
      is
      hereby authorized to (a) assign to Mix Entertainment the contracts described
      on
      Schedule 2.1(d) to the Mix Entertainment APA (the “Assumed Contracts”) and, with
      respect to the Assumed Contracts that constitute executory contracts, to assume
      and assign to Mix Entertainment such contracts pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(a)
      and (f); (b) assign to Mix Entertainment the Personal Property Leases described
      on Schedule 2.1(c) to the Mix Entertainment APA and, to the extent executory,
      to
      assume and assign to Mix Entertainment such Personal Property Leases pursuant
      to
      11 U.S.C. § 365(a) and (f), on the condition that Mix Entertainment shall be,
      and shall only be, obligated to pay all Liabilities (as defined in the Mix
      Entertainment APA) of Debtor under the Personal Property Leases up to
      $1,300,000, provided that it is understood and agreed that (1) such payment
      shall not be deducted from or otherwise reduce the Consideration or any other
      benefit to the Debtor or its estate under the Mix Entertainment APA or any
      other
      term of this Order and (2) the Debtor shall not be required to pay any Liability
      as of the Closing Date under any Personal Property Lease (and if the $1.3
      million amount referenced above is insufficient to pay any such Liability and
      Mix Entertainment does not elect to pay more than $1.3 million, then such
      Personal Property Lease shall not be assumed or assigned); and (c) subject
      to
      the terms of Section 2.1(f), 10.10 and 10.11 of the Mix Entertainment APA,
      assume and assign to Mix Entertainment the leases described on Schedule 2.1(f)
      to the Mix Entertainment APA (the “Assumed Leases”) pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §
365(a) and (f); provided, however, that Debtor shall not be obligated or
      permitted to assume or assign any Personal Property Lease if Mix Entertainment
      elects not to have such Personal Property Lease assigned to it on the Closing
      Date.

    13. All
      nondebtor parties to the Assumed Contracts are forever barred and enjoined
      from
      contesting the assignability of their contracts or seeking from Mix
      Entertainment, or from the Debtor or its estate, any payment under such contract
      on the ground that it is necessary to cure a default existing on or before
      the
      Closing Date (an “Existing Default”) or
      to
      compensate the nondebtor party for pecuniary loss on account of such Existing
      Default. The nondebtor parties to the Assumed Contracts are hereby required,
      after the Closing Date, to honor and accept the assignment of the Assumed
      Contracts to Mix Entertainment.

    14. The
      failure to incorporate by reference into this Order any particular provisions
      of
      the Mix Entertainment APA shall not diminish the efficacy of such provisions,
      it
      being the intent of the Court that the Mix Entertainment APA and the
      transactions contemplated thereby be approved in their entirety. 

    15. The
      Mix
      Entertainment APA and any related agreements, documents or instruments may
      be
      modified, amended or supplemented by the parties thereto without further order
      of this Court, provided that such modification, amendment or supplement is
      not
      material and is acceptable to the Mix Entertainment, the Debtor, the Committee
      and Secured Creditors.

    16. This
      Court shall retain jurisdiction (a) to enforce, or resolve disputes,
      controversies or claims arising out of or relating to, the terms and provisions
      of the Mix Entertainment APA and all amendments, modifications and supplements
      to the Mix Entertainment APA, and each agreement executed in connection
      therewith, including but not limited to matters relating to title to the
      Purchased Assets and claims against the Purchased Assets which arose or were
      based on facts or occurrences prior to the Closing, (b) to compel delivery
      of
      the Purchased Assets to Mix Entertainment, (c) to resolve disputes,
      controversies or claims arising out of or relating to assignment of the Assumed
      Contracts, and (d) to enforce, interpret and implement the provisions of this
      Order.

      17. Mix
      Entertainment has waived any objection or exception to the sale process or
      the
      sale hearing in the Court.

    18. The
      Allocation Statement (as defined in the Mix Entertainment APA) to be provided
      to
      the Debtor under Section 5.2(b) of the Mix Entertainment APA shall not affect
      (a) the ultimate distribution of the Consideration under any Chapter 11 plan
      of
      reorganization, including any plan of liquidation, (b) the value or amount
      of
      any party’s secured claim under 11 U.S.C. §506(a), or (c) otherwise be
      determinative in any way of the interest of the holder of any claim in property
      of the Debtor’s estate.

    19. Mix
      Entertainment and its affiliates, successors and assigns and all entities acting
      on their behalf are hereby granted relief from the automatic stay of 11 U.S.C.
§
362(a) to the extent that the automatic stay might otherwise have prohibited
      such entity from taking any action that would be necessary or appropriate to
      consummate or implement the transactions contemplated by the Mix Entertainment
      APA or this Order.

    20. This
      Order shall be immediately effective upon its entry and the ten (10) day stay
      of
      effectiveness of an order provided for in Rule 6004(g) of the Federal Rules
      of
      Bankruptcy Procedure is hereby waived.

    21. Notwithstanding
      the terms of any other paragraph of this Order, Mix Entertainment shall not
      be
      obligated to consummate the purchase of the Purchased Assets unless the
      conditions set forth in Section 10 of the Mix Entertainment APA,
      including without limitation Sections 10.10 and 10.11 thereof, are satisfied
      or
      waived; provided, however, that the terms regarding the lease with and
      obligations to Two Bills, LLC (as those terms are set forth in Section 10.10
      of
      the Mix Entertainment APA and herein below) and regarding the Hollywood Way
      Property (as defined in the Mix Entertainment APA, as those terms are set forth
      in Section 10.11 of the Mix Entertainment APA and herein below), while remaining
      conditions to Closing in favor of Mix Entertainment, cannot be altered or
      substituted, nor waived by Mix Entertainment, absent the consent of the Debtor,
      the Committee and Secured Creditors. 

    (a) Mix
      Entertainment and Two Bills, LLC each acknowledges that a new lease, conditioned
      upon the Closing, has been agreed to, which fulfills the relevant requirements
      of Section 10.10 of the Mix Entertainment APA, and Mix Entertainment and Two
      Bills, LLC each acknowledges and confirms that such new lease “rolls in” all
      arrearages and any other amounts asserted by Two Bills, LLC to be now
      outstanding from the Debtor to Two Bills, LLC. As a consequence, subject to
      the
      occurrence of the Closing, Two Bills, LLC shall have no claim in the Debtor’s
      case or against any Debtor assets or those of its estate.

    (b)
      Mix
      Entertainment agrees that Section 10.11 of the Mix Entertainment APA has been
      modified to delete the words “not more than” and to replace them with “at
      least,” and to delete the words “or determines not to.” 

    22. Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary that may appear in paragraph 21 of this Order or in
      Section 10.11 of the Mix Entertainment APA, until such time as the bid for
      the
      sale of the Hollywood Way Property is approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the
      Jan & Johnny Bankruptcy Case, the bid for the sale of the Hollywood Way
      Property is not allowed or accepted and nothing stated in this case shall
      prejudice any rights of a party in interest in the Jan & Johnny Bankruptcy
      Case including, but not limited to, to overbid or to object to the sale of
      the
      Hollywood Way Property or the Mix Entertainment bid.

    23. Upon
      and
      subject to the occurrence of the Closing (including subject to the other
      paragraphs of this Order), the Debtor shall pay the Break-up Fee to Point.360
      in
      good funds by wire transfer or bank check. The Break-up Fee shall be paid to
      Point.360 free and clear of any and all claims, liens and encumbrances. Upon
      and
      subject to the occurrence of the Closing (including subject to the other
      paragraphs of this Order), and notwithstanding any terms which may be to the
      contrary in the Mix Entertainment APA, all monies owed to Tudor Management
      Group
      (“Tudor”) under the terms of that certain agreement dated July 2, 2008 between
      Tudor and the Debtor (the “Tudor Agreement”) shall be paid on the Closing
      directly to Tudor, and the Order Approving Application to Employ Tudor
      Management Group dated August 1, 2008 and the Tudor Agreement are hereby
      reaffirmed.

    24. With
      respect to any and all consents of Secured Creditors required herein (written
      or
      otherwise), Secured Creditors shall be deemed to have consented upon 2 business
      days electronic notice to Secured Creditors’ counsel without
      objection.

    IT
      IS SO ORDERED.
