6.2               Bankruptcy Court Filings. As promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement, Hospital Seller shall file the Sale Motion and subsequently use its best efforts to seek the approval of the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order. Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by Hospital Seller to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order and a finding of adequate assurance of future performance by Purchaser, including, without limitation, furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Purchaser under this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event the entry of the Sale Order shall be appealed, each party shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend against such appeal. In the event that an appeal is taken, or a stay pending appeal is requested from the Sale Order, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser of such appeal or stay request and shall provide Purchaser within three (3) Business Days a copy of the relevant notice of appeal or order of stay. Sellers shall also provide Purchaser with written notice of any motion or application filed in connection with any appeal from either of such orders. If no stay pending appeal is granted, the Purchaser and the Sellers may mutually determine to close the Contemplated Transactions.

 

6.3               Notice. Notice of the Contemplated Transactions, the Sale Motion and the Sale Order shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Hospital Seller and shall be served by the Hospital Seller to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser in accordance with applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable, Rules 2002, 3016, 3017 and 6004 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and any local rules or orders of the Bankruptcy Court) on all Persons required to receive notice under applicable Law.

 

6.4               Competing Transaction.

 

(a)       This Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the consideration by Hospital Seller of higher or otherwise better competing bids (each a “Competing Bid”).

 

(b)       [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(c)       Until the Contemplated Transactions are consummated, and subject to the bid procedures set forth in Section 6.4(d), Hospital Seller is permitted to cause its Representatives to market and initiate contact with, solicit or encourage submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers by, any Person (in addition to Purchaser and its Representatives) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Purchased Assets, alone or in connection with the sale or other disposition of any other asset of such Seller. In addition, during such time period, each Seller has the responsibility and obligation to respond to any inquiries or offers to purchase all or any part of the Purchased Assets and perform any and all other acts related thereto which are required under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, including supplying information relating to the Business and the assets of such Seller to prospective purchasers.

 

(d)         Seller agrees to the following bid procedures and shall use its best efforts to cause such procedures to be adhered to and, if necessary, approved by the Bankruptcy Court:

 

(i)              initial minimum overbid by a Competing Bid of $100,000 (the Purchaser Termination Fee of $50,000 plus the incremented bid of $50,000 as set forth below);

 

(ii)             incremented bids by Qualified Bidders of no less than $50,000;

 

(iii)            right of Purchaser to credit bid its Purchaser Termination Fee;

 

 

 

 

 -14- 
 

 

(iv)           payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, if applicable, in accordance with Section 6.5;

 

(v)            deadline to qualify Competing Bids of a date no later than November 2, 2016;

 

(vi)           conducting an auction in the event of any qualified Competing Bids no later than November 15, 2016; and

 

(vii)           commencement of a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court to approve the Transaction and seek entry of Sale Order no later than November 30, 2016.

 

6.5               Purchaser Termination Fee. Sellers agree and acknowledge that Purchaser’s negotiation and execution of this Agreement have required a substantial investment of management time and significant commitment of financial and other resources of Purchaser, and that the negotiation and execution of this Agreement have provided significant value to Sellers. Therefore, if the Bankruptcy Court fails to approve this Agreement because another offer for the purchase of the Business has been received and is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, then, in such event, and if thereafter any Purchaser Termination Event (as hereinafter defined) occurs, Sellers will pay to Purchaser a termination fee, which will include reimbursement of Purchaser’s costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation of and activities incident to this Agreement, in an amount equal to $50,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”). The Purchaser Termination Fee will be paid upon the closing of the sale of the Business (or of the Purchased Assets thereof) to a third party. A Purchaser Termination Event means the consummation of any Alternative Transaction including a sale of all or a substantial portion of the Purchased Assets by a Competing Bid from a party other than the Purchaser, or the confirmation of any Chapter 11 Plan, within 180 days of the execution of this Agreement. Sellers shall pay the Purchaser Termination Fee on the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of an Alternative Transaction or (b) on the effective date of the confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court of any Chapter 11 Plan, such date not to exceed fifteen (15) days from the date of such confirmation. Sellers’ obligation to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee shall constitute and be treated as a superpriority administrative expense of Sellers under Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and paid in cash immediately when due. The parties agree that such sum is a reasonable estimate of Purchaser’s costs, expenses, and loss, and is fair consideration to induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement.
