(d) any liability or obligation of Seller and the Company for

respect to any such Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that
begins before the Closing Date and that ends after the Closing Date, the portion
of such Taxes allocable to the portion of such taxable period ending on the
Closing Date shall be considered to equal the amount of such Taxes for such
taxable period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days in the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the
denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period);
(e) any liability or obligation with respect to any employee

Section 2.5 ASSUMPTION OF CERTAIN CONTRACTS.
(a) The Assumed Agreements will be sold and assigned to Buyer
(or Buyer's designee) on the Closing Date. Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly comply with and perform any obligations under the
Assumed Agreements arising from and after the date hereof and through the
Closing Date.
(b) At the Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer and Buyer
shall assume the Assumed Agreements set forth on SCHEDULE 2.5. If there exists
on the Closing Date any default under an Assumed Agreement, Buyer shall be
responsible for the payment of any and all amounts necessary to cure such
default as a condition to the Closing hereunder (the "CURE PAYMENTS"). SCHEDULE
2.5 sets forth the actual amounts necessary to cure defaults, if any, under each
of the Assumed Agreements as determined by Seller based on Seller's books and
records.
(c) In addition to the payment of the Purchase Price and the
payment of any Cure Payments, Buyer shall reimburse Seller in cash and in full
for the deposits, advances and credits and security deposits (the "SUPPORT
AMOUNTS") and replace the letters of credit, in all such cases, related to the
Assumed Agreements and set forth on SCHEDULE 2.5.
(d) To the extent that the assignment of any Assumed Agreement
or any Permit relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets shall require the
consent of any other party, this Agreement shall not constitute a contract to
assign the same if any attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof.
In such case, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and the Buyer
shall cooperate where appropriate, to obtain any consent necessary to any such
assignment.
(e) In the case of each agreement identified on SCHEDULE
2.5(E) as to which Consent has not been obtained as of the Closing (each, a
"POTENTIAL ASSUMED AGREEMENT"), Buyer may elect to have Seller continue its
efforts to obtain the Consent with respect to certain of the Potential Assumed
Agreements.
(f) At any time, if Buyer elects to have Seller continue its
efforts to obtain any consent and the Closing occurs, notwithstanding Sections
2.1 and 2.3, neither this Agreement nor any other document related to the
consummation of the contemplated transaction hereunder shall constitute a
contract to assign the same if any attempted assignment would constitute a
breach of such Potential Assumed Agreement. In such case, Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts, and the Buyer shall cooperate where
appropriate, to obtain any Consent necessary to any such assignment. Once a
Consent for a Potential Assumed Agreement is obtained, Seller shall promptly
assign, transfer, convey, and deliver such Potential Assumed Agreement to Buyer,
and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such Potential Assumed Agreement
assigned to Buyer from and after the date of assignment.
(g) From the Closing Date until either (i) Consent for the
assignment a Potential Assumed Agreement is obtained or (ii) Buyer notifies
Seller in writing that it has abandoned its effort to obtain such Consent, Buyer
will be obligated to reimburse Seller in cash for any obligations associated
with the continued performance of such Potential Assumed Agreement. In the event
Buyer fails to pay Seller within 5 business days from the date of receipt of
Seller's request for reimbursement, which shall not be made more than once per
week, Seller may deem that Buyer has abandoned its effort to obtain Consent for
assignment of such Potential Assumed Agreement and cease to perform under such
agreement.

case taking into account DMG's status as an assignee for the benefit of
creditors, (i) to operate the Business consistent with past custom and practice,

respects, the Business, the Purchased Assets, its employees and its operations,
and (iii) to

necessary to preserve the Business and the Purchased Assets.
(b) Prior to the Transfer Date, Seller shall (i) not sell,
lease (as lessor), transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Assets
(other than the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent

for the benefit of creditors) and (ii) use good faith, commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent the abandonment of the Intellectual Property unless Seller
first obtains the written consent of Buyer approving any such abandonment.

provide for any customer or type of customer terms for sales that are

opportunity at Seller's expense, to segregate and remove such books and records
as Seller may select.

(b) Seller, if there has been a material violation or breach
by Buyer of any covenant, representation or warranty made by it contained in
this Agreement which has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the
obligations of Seller to effect the Closing and such violation or breach has not
been cured by Buyer within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice

Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or entered
into in connection herewith or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby. Each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
dispute or proceedings may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties
hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
such dispute or proceeding brought in such courts or any defense of inconvenient
forum in connection therewith.
Section 11.9 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed and
delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and

Exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein are hereby incorporated herein
by reference and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes as if fully set
