During the Auction, any Qualified Bidder may increase its Qualified Bid by making another Qualified Bid: 8. Selection of the Successful Bidder.

Upon conclusion of the Auction, the bidding will be closed, and the Chapter 7 Trustee shall review each Qualified Bid and promptly identify the highest, best, financial or otherwise superior offers for the Assets (the Successful Bid and Successful Bidder ), and, if the Chapter 7 Trustee deems it appropriate, in his discretion, the next highest or otherwise best offer after the Successful Bid (the Backup Bid and Backup Bidder), advise the Qualified Bidders of such determination, and file a notice or pleading in the record of the Bankruptcy Court as provided below seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of his selection of the Successful Bid and any Back Up Bid and for an order approving the sale of Assets. 9.

The sale of the Assets shall be on an "as is, where is" basis and without representations or warranties of any kind, nature, or description by the Seller, its agents, or its estate except to the extent set forth in the Overbid PSA. The Sale Order and Overbid PSA (or Initial PSA if applicable) shall provide a deadline for the closing of the Sale of Assets within five (5) business days.

54 Proposed Compromise Sale and Procedures Order with exhibits Page 54 of 144 making its bid, and that it did not rely upon any written or oral statements, representations, promises, warranties, or guaranties whatsoever, whether express, implied, by operation of law or otherwise, regarding the Assets, or the completeness of any information provided in connection therewith or the Auction, except as expressly stated in these Bidding Procedures. 10. Failure to Consummate Purchase. The Bankruptcy Court may register the second highest bid of the Backup Bidder, whose asset purchase agreement shall be a binding contract with the Chapter 7 Trustee and shall close in the event the Successful Bidder fails to timely consummate the acquisition of the Assets in accordance with the provisions described above and in the Compromise, Sale and Procedures Order. Any closing with the Backup Bidder shall occur within five (5) days of notification from the Debtors that the Successful Bidder failed to close by the deadline for Closing as provided by the Sale Order and Overbid PSA (or Initial PSA if applicable). 11. Business Judgment of the Chapter 7 Trustee. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Chapter 7 Trustee, in his sole discretion, reserves the right to (a) determine whether each Marked Agreement is acceptable; (b) determine which Qualified Bid constitutes the highest or otherwise best offer; (c) reject at any time prior to entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the sale to the Successful Bidder, any bid which the Chapter 7 Trustee deems to be (i) inadequate or insufficient, or (ii) not in conformity with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bidding Procedures; and/or modify these Bidding Procedures in any manner that is not otherwise inconsistent with any order of the Bankruptcy Court. Furthermore, based upon the Qualified Bids received, the number of Qualified Bidders participating, and such other information the Chapter 7 Trustee 7 determines is relevant, the Chapter 7 Trustee 7 may, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, adopt such other rules for conducting the Auction, that, in the Chapter 7 Trustee s business judgment, will better promote the goals of the bidding process and that are not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court. 12. Consent to Jurisdiction as Condition to Bidding. All Bidders shall be deemed to have consented to the core jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and the entry of final orders by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with any disputes relating to the Bidding Procedures and the Auction and waived any right to a jury trial with respect thereto. 13. Other Terms of the Auction.
