As of the Closing, the Buyer shall have taken all measures necessary to ensure that the Buyer will have sufficient cash on hand to pay the total consideration contemplated to be paid hereunder. In addition, as of the Closing, the Buyer shall have taken all measures necessary, including, without limitation, obtaining additional capital contributions, to ensure that, after giving effect to the Transactions, including the payment of the Purchase Price and the satisfaction of all liabilities of the Buyer (including the Assumed Liabilities) when those liabilities become due, the Buyer will be Solvent.

(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, “ Solvent ” when used with respect to the Buyer, means that, as of any date of determination (i) the amount of the Present Fair Salable Value of its assets will, as of such date, exceed all of its liabilities, contingent or otherwise, as of such date, (ii) the Buyer will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the business in which it is engaged or will be engaged and (iii) the Buyer will be able to pay its debts as they become absolute and mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it and the timing of and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its indebtedness, in each case after giving effect to the Transactions. For purposes of the definition of “Solvent,” (i) “ debt ” means liability on a “claim” and (ii) “ claim ” means (A) any right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (B) the right to an equitable remedy for breach on performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured.

(c)    “ Present Fair Saleable Value ” means the amount that may be realized if the aggregate assets of the Buyer (including goodwill) are sold as an entirety with reasonable promptness in an arms-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises.

The Seller and the Affiliated Sellers agree that between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, the Seller and the Affiliated Sellers shall not enter into any legally binding agreement with any Person other than the Seller pursuant to which such Person would, directly or indirectly, acquire or purchase all or any portion of the Business or the Transferred Assets (an “ Alternative Transaction ”), whether effected by sale of assets, sale of stock, merger or otherwise, other than inventory to be sold in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice of the Business, that would materially impair the ability of the Seller or any Affiliated Seller to consummate the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Confidentiality Agreements, the Seller and the Affiliated Sellers shall not be limited or restricted in their ability to solicit, initiate, consider, encourage, discuss, negotiate or furnish information with respect to other proposals or offers from any Person relating to an Alternative Transaction so long as (a) each third party is notified in writing of the Seller's exclusive commitment to close the transaction with the Buyer unless this Agreement is terminated and (b) each third party acknowledges in writing or by signature of a notice provided by the Seller that such third party will not directly or indirectly interfere with the Closing of the Transactions under this Agreement prior to the Termination Date (as amended).”
