divest
the APA Assets based on the plaintiff's assessment of changed circumstances relating to the
completion of the SunBorne FBO Facility.
G. Signature shall use its best efforts to accomplish each of the divestitures
as
expeditiously and timely as possible. The United States, in its sole discretion, may extend the

Signature
promptly shall make known, by usual and customary means, the availability of each of the Assets
to
be Divested described in this Final Judgment. Signature shall inform any person making an
inquiry
regarding a possible purchase that the sales are being made pursuant to this Final Judgment
and
provide such person with a copy of this Final Judgment. Signature shall also offer to furnish to
all
Page 8
prospective purchasers, subject to customary confidentiality assurances, all information regarding
the
Assets to be Divested customarily provided in a due diligence process, except such
information
subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product privilege. Signature shall make
available
such information to the plaintiff at the same time that such information is made available to any
other
person.

employ any
employee who works at any of the Assets to be Divested, or whose principal responsibility
is
operating or managing any of the Assets to be Divested.
J. Signature shall permit
prospective purchasers of each of the Assets to be Divested to
have reasonable access to personnel and to make such inspection of each of the Assets to
be
Divested; access to any and all environmental, zoning, and other permit documents and
information;
and access to any and all financial, operational, or other documents and information
customarily
provided as part of a due diligence process.
K. Signature shall not take
any action, direct or indirect, that will impede in any way the
operation or value of the Assets to be Divested.
L. Unless the United States otherwise consents in writing, the divestitures
pursuant to
Section V, or by a trustee appointed pursuant to Section VI of this Final Judgment, shall include
all
of the Assets to be Divested, operated in place pursuant to the Hold Separate Stipulation and
Order,
and be accomplished by selling or otherwise conveying all of the Assets to be Divested to
purchasers
in such a way as to satisfy the United States, in its sole discretion, that each of the Assets to
be
Divested can and will be used by the purchasers as part of viable, ongoing businesses engaged
in
Page 9
providing FBO services at PSP Airport, at BDL Airport, and at APA Airport. Each of the
divestitures, whether pursuant to Section V or Section VI of this Final Judgment, shall be made
to
purchasers for whom it is demonstrated to the United States' sole satisfaction that: (1) the
purchasers
have the capability and intent of competing effectively in the provision of FBO services at
PSP
Airport, at BDL Airport, and at APA Airport; (2) the purchasers have or soon will have
the
managerial, operational, and financial capability to compete effectively in the provision of
FBO
services at PSP Airport, BDL Airport, and APA Airport; and (3) none of the terms of any
agreement
between the purchasers and Signature gives Signature the ability unreasonably to raise the
purchasers'
costs, to lower the purchasers' efficiency, or otherwise to interfere in the ability of the purchasers
to
compete effectively.
VI.
APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE
A. In the
event that
Signature has not divested all of the Assets to be Divested within the
times specified in Section V of this Final Judgment, the Court shall appoint, on application of
the
United States, a trustee selected by the United States to effect the divestitures of those Assets to
be
Divested that have not been timely divested.
B. After
the appointment of a
trustee becomes effective, only that trustee shall have the
right to sell the particular Assets to be Divested (i.e., APA Assets, PSP Assets, and/or
BDL Assets).
The trustee shall have the power and authority to accomplish the divestiture(s) at the best price
then
obtainable upon a reasonable effort by the trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections V and
VII
of this Final Judgment, and shall have such other powers as the Court shall deem appropriate.
Page 10
Subject to Section VI(C) of this Final Judgment, the trustee shall have the power and authority to
hire
at the cost and expense of Signature any investment bankers, attorneys, or other agents
reasonably
necessary in the judgment of the trustee to assist in the particular divestiture(s), and such
professionals and agents shall be accountable solely to the trustee. The trustee shall have the
power
and authority to accomplish the particular divestiture(s) at the earliest possible time to
purchaser(s)
acceptable to the United States in its sole discretion and shall have such other powers as this
Court
shall deem appropriate. Signature shall not object to a sale by trustee on any grounds other than
the
trustee's malfeasance. Any such objections by Signature must be conveyed in writing to plaintiff
and
the trustee within ten (10) days after the trustee has provided the notice required under Section
VII
of this Final Judgment.
C. A
trustee shall serve at
the cost and expense of Signature, on such terms and
conditions as the Court may prescribe, and shall account for all monies derived from the sale of
the
assets sold by the trustee and all costs and expenses so incurred. After approval by the Court of
the
trustee's accounting, including fees for its services and those of any professionals and agents
retained
by the trustee, all remaining money shall be paid to Signature and the trust shall then be
terminated.
The compensation of the trustee and of professionals and agents retained by the trustee shall
be
reasonable in light of the value of each of the divested businesses and based on a fee
arrangement
providing the trustee with an incentive based on the price and terms of the particular
divestiture(s)
and the speed with which it is accomplished.
D. Signature shall use its best efforts to assist the trustee in accomplishing the
required
divestiture(s), including its best efforts to effect all necessary regulatory approvals. The trustee
and
Page 11
any consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other persons retained by the trustee shall have full
and
complete access to the personnel, books, records, and facilities of the Assets to be Divested,
and
Signature shall develop financial or other information relevant to the Assets to be Divested
customarily provided in a due diligence process as the trustee may reasonably request, subject
to
customary confidentiality assurances. Signature shall permit prospective acquirers of each of
the
Assets to be Divested to have reasonable access to personnel and to make such inspection of
physical
facilities and any and all financial, operational or other documents and other information as may
be
relevant to the divestitures required by this Final Judgment.
E. After its appointment, the trustee shall file monthly reports with the parties
and the
Court setting forth that trustee's efforts to accomplish the particular divestiture(s) ordered under
this
Final Judgment; provided however, that to the extent such reports contain information that the
trustee
deems confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. Such
reports
shall include the name, address and telephone number of each person who, during the
preceding
month, made an offer to acquire, expressed an interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations
to
acquire, or was contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring, any interest in any of the Assets to
be
Divested, and shall describe in detail each contact with any such person during that period.
The
trustee shall maintain full records of all efforts made to divest the particular Assets to be
Divested.
F. If the trustee has not accomplished such divestiture(s) within six (6) months
after its
appointment, the trustee thereupon shall file promptly with the Court a report setting forth: (1)
the
trustee's efforts to accomplish the required divestiture(s), (2) the reasons, in the trustee's
judgment,
why the required divestiture(s) have not been accomplished, and (3) the trustee's
recommendations;
Page 12
provided, however, that to the extent such reports contain information that the trustee
deems
confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. The trustee shall at
the
same time furnish such report to the parties, who shall each have the right to be heard and to
make
additional recommendations consistent with the purpose of the trust. The Court shall enter
thereafter
such orders as it shall deem appropriate in order to carry out the purpose of the trust, which may,
if
necessary, include extending the trust and the term of the trustee's appointment for a period
requested
by the United States.
VII.
NOTIFICATION
Within two (2) business days following execution of a definitive agreement
contingent upon
compliance with the terms of this Final Judgment to effect, in whole or in part, the
proposed
divestitures pursuant to Sections V or VI of this Final Judgment, Signature or a trustee,
whichever
is then responsible for effecting the particular divestiture(s), shall notify plaintiff of the
proposed
divestiture(s). If a trustee is responsible, the trustee shall similarly notify Signature. The notice
shall
set forth the details of the proposed transaction and list the name, address, and telephone number
of
each person not previously identified who offered to, or expressed an interest in or a desire

the
definitive agreement, together with full details of same. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of
receipt
by plaintiff of such notice, the United States, in its sole discretion, may request from Signature,
the
proposed purchaser(s), or any other third party additional information concerning the
proposed
divestiture(s) and the proposed purchaser(s). Signature and the trustee shall furnish any
additional
Page 13
information requested from them within fifteen (15) calendar days of the receipt of the request,
unless
the parties shall otherwise agree. Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the notice or
within
twenty (20) calendar days after the plaintiff has been provided the additional information
requested
from Signature, the proposed purchaser(s), or any third party, whichever is later, the United
States
shall provide written notice to Signature and the trustee, if there is one, stating whether or not
it
objects to the proposed divestiture(s). If the United States provides written notice to Signature
and
the trustee that it does not object, then the divestiture(s) may be consummated, subject only
to
Signature's limited right to object to the sales under Section VI(B) of this Final Judgment.
Absent
written notice that the United States does not object to the proposed purchaser or upon objection
by
the United States, none of the divestitures proposed under Section V or Section VI shall be
consummated. Upon objection by Signature under the provision in Section VI(B), a
divestiture
proposed under Section VI shall not be consummated unless approved by the Court.
