(c) If the Sale Order or any other orders of the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement shall be appealed or petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing or reargument shall be filed with respect thereto, the Sellers agree to take all action as may be commercially reasonable and appropriate to defend against such appeal, petition or motion and Buyer agrees to cooperate in such efforts, and each Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal; provided that the absence of an appeal of the Sale Order shall not be a condition to any Party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at the Closing.
