     (b) Section 2.5 of the Acquisition Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Cure Amounts. At Closing and pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Sellers will assume and assign to Buyer and Buyer will assume from Sellers, the Purchased Contracts that are deemed to be executory contracts or unexpired leases for purposes of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The cure amounts necessary to cure all defaults under any Purchased Contracts set forth on Schedule 2.5(a) will be paid by Sellers at or prior to the Closing, as such amounts are finally determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Bid Procedures Order and/or the Sale Order, and Buyer will have no liability therefor. The cure amounts necessary to cure all defaults under any Purchased Contracts set forth on Schedule 2.5(b) will be paid by Buyer at the Closing, as such amounts are finally determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Bid Procedures Order and/or the Sale Order, and Sellers will have no liability therefore.

     6. Excluded Assets. Section 2.2(b)(i) of the Acquisition Agreement is hereby amended by adding the phrase “subject to Section 3.4(a),” to the beginning thereof.

7. Transition Services Agreement. At the Closing, the parties agree to execute and enter into the Transition Services Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Section 10.3 of the Acquisition Agreement is amended to add the words “, the Transition Services Agreement” immediately after “hereto)” and before “and the Confidentiality Agreement.” A new Section 8.3(e) to the Acquisition Agreement is added that reads:

(e) TSA. Buyer and Sellers shall have delivered, or caused to be delivered, dully executed copies of the transition services agreement, in the form previously agreed to by the parties, by such party or their Affiliates, as applicable (the “Transition Services Agreement”).

8. Receivables Program Participation Agreements. (a) Without limiting any other provision of the Acquisition Agreement (as amended hereby), Buyer will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the consents (the “Bank Consents”) of the banks under the Contracts identified on Schedule 1.1A of the Acquisition Agreement under the heading “Receivables Program Participation Agreements” (such banks, the “Banks,” and such Contracts, the “Receivables Agreements”). Until such time as either (i) such Bank Consent is obtained from the applicable Bank or (ii) the Bankruptcy Court has entered an Order providing that such Bank Consent is not required, such Bank Consents will be deemed “Necessary Consents” for purposes of Section 2.6 of the Acquisition Agreement.

     (b) In the event that any Bank Consent is not obtained as of the Closing, Sellers will serve a notice to the applicable Bank of their intention to assume and assign the applicable Receivables Agreement, which will include the proposed cure amount, if any, necessary to cure any defaults under such applicable Receivables Agreement. Pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Sellers will assume and assign to Buyer, and Buyer will assume from Sellers, the Receivables Agreements that are deemed to be executory contracts or unexpired leases for purposes of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code following the determination of such cure amounts in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Sale Order (unless at such time Buyer designates such Receivable Agreement an Excluded Asset for all purposes under the Acquistion Agreement). The cure amounts necessary to cure all defaults under the applicable Receivables Agreements, if any, will be paid by Buyer, as such amounts are finally determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sale Order, and Seller will have no liability therefor.

9. Escrow Release. At the Closing, Buyer and Sellers hereby agree to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent the notice attached hereto as Exhibit C and to cause the Escrow Agent to execute such notice in order to (a) cause the Initial Escrow Deposit to be disbursed to the Company on the Closing Date and (b) terminate the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.

10. Amendment; No Further Effect. This letter agreement will be deemed to be an amendment of the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section 10.8 of the Acquisition Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, this letter agreement does not, by implication or otherwise, alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Acquisition Agreement.

11. Miscellaneous. This letter agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures on each counterpart were actually upon one instrument.
