Interim Period During the period between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (“Interim Period”),
Interim Actions In the case of a Material Default that causes continuing damages to the Sellers for which indemnification by the Purchasers pursuant to Article 8 of the Agreement would not be sufficient to remedy all such damages, the Sellers and the Purchasers shall cooperate in good faith to implement appropriate interim actions to mitigate such damages until the Corrective Action Plan is finalized. The parties shall develop and implement such interim actions on timelines that are commensurate with the severity of the harm and that take into account the risks to the Sellers of delay. The Purchasers shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate the adverse consequences on the Sellers of the Material Default until the Correction Action Plan is finalized.
Required Actions (a) Each of the parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things reasonably appropriate to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably possible, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Post-Closing Operations After the Closing, ACQUIRED COMPANY will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company subject to the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement. ACQUIRED COMPANY shall be responsible to report to the Company all financial matters and newsworthy events as they materialize, as Seller recognizes Company is a publicly traded company and has certain material obligations of disclosure pursuant to state and federal laws, statutes and regulations.

Operations Prior to the Closing Date (a) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause the Companies to, operate and carry on the Business in the ordinary course and substantially as operated immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause the Companies to use their commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with good business practice, to preserve the goodwill of the suppliers, contractors, licensors, employees, customers, distributors and others having business relations with the Business.

Permitted Actions Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), a Second Lien Creditor may (a) file a proof of claim or statement of interest, vote on a plan of reorganization (including a vote to accept or reject a plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition, or extension), and make other filings, arguments, and motions, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Obligor; (b) take action to create, perfect, preserve, or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on the Collateral, so long as such actions are not adverse to the priority status in accordance with this Agreement of Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Creditors’ rights to exercise remedies or otherwise not in accordance with this Agreement; (c) file necessary pleadings in opposition to a claim objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of a Second Lien Obligation or a Lien securing the Second Lien Obligation; (d) join (but not exercise any control over) a judicial foreclosure or Lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by the First Lien Agent, to the extent that such action could not reasonably be expected to interfere materially with the Enforcement Action, but no Second Lien Creditor may receive any Proceeds thereof unless expressly permitted herein; (e) bid for or purchase Collateral at any public, private, or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by any First Lien Creditor, or any sale of Collateral during an Insolvency Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Lien Obligations unless the net cash Proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and are applied to cause the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, in each case, at the closing of such bid; (f) accelerate any Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Second Lien Documents; and (g) seek adequate protection during an Insolvency Proceeding to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (g) in a manner not inconsistent with the other terms of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided for herein, (1) no provision hereof shall be construed to prohibit the payment by a Borrower of regularly scheduled principal, interest and other amounts owed in respect of the Second Lien Obligations so long as the receipt thereof is not the direct or indirect result of any Enforcement Action, and (2) unless and until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, the sole right of the Second Lien Creditors with respect to the Collateral is to hold a lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations shall have occurred.
