Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).”
5.Amendment to Section 5.10 (Assignment or Contribution to Douglas). Section 5.10 is amended by deleting the second reference to “Douglas” in the fourth line.
6.Amendment to Section 5.12 (Bankruptcy Matters). Section 5.12(c) is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
“If Buyer is not deemed to be the Prevailing Bidder (as defined in the Sale Procedures Order) or the Bankruptcy Court approves the sale of substantially all of the Purchased Assets to a purchaser other than Buyer (either, an “Alternative Transaction”):
(A) Seller shall (i) upon consummation of such Alternative Transaction, pay Buyer a break-up fee equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (the “Break-Up Fee”), provided that the aggregate purchase price paid in the Alternative Transaction is equal to or greater than Twenty Five Million ($25,000,000) Dollars (the “Price Threshold”), and (ii) reimburse the Buyer up to a maximum of $300,000 for all its reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (not otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the DIP Facility) incurred in connection with (a) the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, (b) conducting due diligence on Buyer’s assets and business, (c) participating in the Bankruptcy Case, and enforcing or preserving any rights under this and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Buyer (the “Expense Reimbursement”). The Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement shall only be owed in the event the Buyer has waived its right to terminate the Agreement under Section 7.01(b)(v).
(B) The Break-Up Fee shall be payable and paid by Seller only out of the cash proceeds from an Alternative Transaction if the aggregate purchase price in such Alternative Transaction exceeds the Price Threshold. Until the Break-Up Fee is paid to Buyer in full,

Seller shall not use any amount of the purchase price received in such Alternative Transaction in excess of the Price Threshold for any other purpose.

Seller’s obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement shall constitute an administrative expense of Seller under Section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code, which shall be subject to any carve out under the DIP Facility and the DIP Order. The Expense Reimbursement shall be payable and paid by Seller only out of the cash proceeds from any Alternative Transaction.”
7.Amendment to Section 7.01 (Termination). Section 7.01 is amended as follows:
a. | Section 7.01(c)(ii) is deleted in its entirety. |

“at any time prior to May 13, 2016 (the “Diligence Deadline”), if Buyer determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is not satisfied with the results of its due diligence, including the Cure Amounts payable in connection with the Business Contracts, provided however, that Buyer shall be entitled to seek an order from the Bankruptcy Court entered before the Diligence Deadline to extend the Diligence Deadline if the Seller has unreasonably delayed response to reasonable due diligence requests and reasonable requests for access by Buyer’s representatives, which requests must be made by Buyer upon reasonable advance notice;”
