Assignment of Contracts and Rights (a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign, and Buyer shall not assume any Liabilities with respect to, any Contract or Permit constituting a Transferred Asset, or any other Transferred Asset, that by Law is nonassignable, or that by its terms is nonassignable without the Consent of the other party or parties thereto to the extent such party or parties assert in writing that such assignment is a breach of such Contract or Permit, or as to which all the remedies for the enforcement thereof enjoyed by Seller would not, as a matter of law, pass to Buyer as an incident of the assignments provided for by this Agreement. With respect to any Contract, Permit or other Transferred Asset of the type described in the preceding sentence, and any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, promptly after the date of this Agreement, to the extent required by the terms of the Contract, Permit or other Transferred Asset, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain the written Consent of the other parties to any such Contract, Permit or other Transferred Asset for the assignment thereof to Buyer in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer.
(b) If such Consent is not obtained with respect to any such Contract, Permit or other Transferred Asset prior to the Closing, in addition to any other remedy available to Buyer at law or in equity, at Seller’s expense, Seller shall, from and after the Closing take all actions and do or cause to be done all such things as shall in the reasonable judgment of Buyer or its counsel be necessary: (i) to ensure that the claims, rights and benefits with respect to such Contract, Permit or other Transferred Asset are preserved for Buyer or for the benefit of Buyer (including by entering into a subcontracting or subleasing arrangement with Buyer, if permitted); and (ii) to facilitate receipt of, and promptly pay to, Buyer all monies received by Seller under any such Contract, Permit or other Transferred Asset or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder not transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.5.

Subject to receipt of the Necessary Consents and compliance with Section 6.10 and subject to the entry of the Sale Order, and any ancillary orders of the Bankruptcy Court pertaining to assumption and assignment of Contracts (a) each of the Material Contracts is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company or Sellers, and, to the Knowledge of Sellers, each other party thereto, and (b) except as a result of the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, the Company or Sellers are not in breach or default in any material respect under any of the Material Contracts and, to the Knowledge of Sellers, the other parties to such Contracts are not in breach or default in any material respect thereunder (and in each such case, to the Knowledge of Sellers, no event exists that with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute such material breach or default in any material respect, result in a loss of material rights, result in the payment of any damages or penalties or result in the creation of any Liens thereunder or pursuant thereto other than Permitted Liens); except (i) for those defaults that will be cured in accordance with the Sale Order, are not required to be cured pursuant to section 365(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, or waived in accordance with section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (ii) to the extent such breach or default would not reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect. Except for filings in the Chapter 11 Cases, to Sellers’ Knowledge, none of the Material Contracts have been cancelled or otherwise terminated by the Company or Sellers, and neither the Company nor Sellers have not delivered any written notice to any counterparty to such Material Contract regarding any such cancellation or termination by the Company or Sellers.
