C. Sellers have commenced jointly administered cases (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Cases”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended (the“Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), thereby creating the estates (the “Bankruptcy Estates”) in accordance with Bankruptcy Code Section 541 et seq., and have continued in the possession of their assets and in the management of their business under Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PROMISES MADE HEREIN, AND INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND HEREBY, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

1.1Purchase and Sale of Target Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers agree to sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, acquire and accept from Sellers, for the Purchase Price hereinafter specified, all right, title and interest in and to the Target Assets (as defined below).

1.1.4 all Licenses set forth onSchedule 1.1.4, to the extent such Licenses are freely transferable (“Transferred Licenses”);

1.1.5 all records, data, know-how, software, and media content, whether in hard copy, digital, electronic or magnetic format or otherwise, including copies of all accounting and operating ledgers, asset ledgers, records, budgets, customer lists, customer account information, customer medical billing and accounts receivable information, information used for the performance of services for the customers, supplier lists, technical data, employee files, sales literature, advertising or promotional materials, web site software and content, research and development records, engineering records, systems and methods of supply, design, manufacture or distribution, referral sources, service and warranty records, correspondence, computer printouts, books, notes, files, and all other accounting and operating records and other operating and financial information and materials, in each case, to the extent related to the Target Business or Target Assets;

provided,however, that none of the Target Assets shall in any event be deemed to include any asset expressly designated as an Excluded Asset pursuant toSection 3.1.

1.2Assumption of Certain Liabilities.

1.2.1 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing on the Closing Date and as of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall assume only the following liabilities (the“Assumed Liabilities”):

1.2.1.1 the obligations of Sellers under the Assigned Contracts to the extent such obligations are applicable to and accrue solely with respect to an Assigned Contract with respect to periods subsequent to the Effective Time; for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be liable for any accounts payable for goods or services due prior to the Effective Time and such payables shall be the responsibility of Seller;

1.2.1.2 Taxes that relate to the ownership or operation of the Target Assets with respect to any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date;

1.2.1.3 the obligations of Sellers for any accrued and unused vacation or paid time off for the Hired Active Business Employees;

1.2.1.6 all Liabilities arising from the ownership of the Target Assets or operation of the Target Business arising after the Closing Date; and

Purchaser shall not assume, incur, guarantee, or otherwise be obligated with respect to any liability whatsoever of Sellers other than the Assumed Liabilities. With respect to any of the Assumed Liabilities, such assumption by Purchaser is for the benefit only of Sellers and shall not expand, increase, broaden, or enlarge the rights or remedies of any other party, nor create in any other party any right against Purchaser that such party would not have against Sellers if this Agreement had not been consummated.

1.2.2 Except as provided inSection 1.2.1, Purchaser does not hereby and will not assume or become liable for and shall not be obligated to pay or satisfy any obligation, debt or liability whatsoever, whether fixed, contingent or otherwise, of the Target Business or Sellers or any other Person, including, without limitation any Cure Amounts (other than the Assumed Cure Amounts), Indebtedness or other claim, liability, obligation or Tax arising out of the ownership or use of the Target Assets or circumstances or occurrences or the operations of the Target Business or transactions contemplated by this Agreement or Sellers or any other Person prior to the Closing Date and whether or not disclosed on the Schedules attached hereto, and regardless of when or by whom asserted (collectively, the“Excluded Liabilities”). Without limiting the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the Assumed Liabilities shall in no event include, and the Excluded Liabilities shall include (but not be limited to), the Specifically Excluded Liabilities. The Excluded Liabilities shall remain the responsibility and obligation of Sellers after Closing, and Sellers shall pay and discharge all such liabilities as and when due.

1.2.3 For purposes of this Agreement,“Specifically Excluded Liabilities” means (i) Sellers’ liabilities or obligations under this Agreement; (ii) Sellers’ liabilities or obligations for any fees and expenses incident to or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including all transaction related bonuses or benefits payable to any officer, director, manager, employee, shareholder, member or Affiliate of Sellers); (iii) any liability or obligation of Sellers for Taxes for any taxable period or year, except as otherwise specifically provided inSection 9.4 orSection 9.5; (iv) Sellers’ liabilities or obligations with respect to Indebtedness; (v) liabilities or obligations of Sellers arising by reason of any violation or alleged violation of any Law; (vi) Sellers’ liabilities or obligations arising out of or related to any breach or alleged breach by any Seller of any Contract, in each case, regardless of when any such liability or obligation is asserted; (vii) Sellers’ liabilities or obligations for tort claims, known or unknown, and any related claims and litigation with respect to Sellers’ operation of the Target Business, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date; (viii) Sellers’ liabilities or obligations relating to any other Action arising out of or in connection with Sellers’ conduct of the Target Business or otherwise (including the Actions set forth onSchedule 4.4), or any other conduct of Sellers or Sellers’ respective officers, directors, managers, employees, consultants, agents or advisors prior to the Closing; (ix) except as otherwise provided inSection 1.2.1, Sellers’ liabilities or obligations relating to employees, including, without limitation, any employees who are offered employment by Purchaser in accordance this Agreement but who decline to accept such offer (except for the obligations of Sellers for any accrued and unused vacation or paid time off for the Hired Active Business Employees); (x) any liabilities, obligations or responsibilities relating to or arising under any Benefit Plan, any “employee benefit plan” (as defined ERISA) or any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement at any time maintained or contributed to by any Sellers or any ERISA Affiliate, or with respect to which Sellers or any ERISA Affiliate has any liability or potential liability; (xi) any liabilities or obligations with respect to any of the Excluded Assets (including the Excluded Business); (xii) any liability of Sellers to any Affiliate of any Seller (including any shareholder of such Affiliate); (xiii) any liability to indemnify, reimburse or advance amounts to any officer, director, manager, employee or agent of Sellers; (xiv) any liability to distribute to any of shareholders, members or other securityholder of any Seller or otherwise apply all or any part of the consideration received hereunder, including any liability of Sellers arising as a result of the exercise by any of its shareholders or members of such Person’s right (if any) to dissent from the transactions contemplated hereby and seek appraisal rights; (xv) any liability under any Contract not included as an Assigned Contract, including any liability arising out of or relating to any employment or similar Contract to which any Seller is a party or otherwise bound; and (xvi) any other liability or obligation of Sellers not expressly assumed by Purchaser pursuant toSection 1.2.

1.3Assignment of Certain Contracts. At the Closing, Purchaser shall succeed to the rights and privileges of Sellers, and shall assume the express obligations of Sellers to the extent such obligations (A) are applicable to and accrue with respect to periods subsequent to the Effective Time and (B) are accompanied by a correlated duty of performance or payment on the part of the other parties thereto, pursuant to those Real Property Leases or Contracts of the Target Business that are shown as “Assigned Contracts” (along with the Cure Amount applicable to each such Assigned Contract) onSchedule 1.3 hereto (“Assigned Contracts”) as and in the form of the copies thereof (or, if oral, as and in the form of the written statements of the terms thereof) furnished or made available to Purchaser. Purchaser and Sellers, by mutual agreement, may amendSchedule 1.3 prior to the Sale Hearing; provided, that, Purchaser may remove any Assigned Contract fromSchedule 1.3 prior to the Sale Hearing if it determines, in its sole discretion. Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment and satisfaction of all cure amounts as determined by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Assigned Contracts (the“Cure Amounts”), but solely to the extent that a Cure Amount (i) is an Assumed Liability and (ii) does not exceed the corresponding Cure Amount set forth onSchedule 1.3 with respect to each such Assigned Contract (the“Assumed Cure Amounts”). Sellers shall be responsible for any other Cure Amounts.

1.4Instruments of Conveyance, Assumption or Assignment. The sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery of the Target Assets, and the assumption of the Assigned Contracts and the Assumed Liabilities, as herein provided, shall be effected by bills of sale, assignments, deeds, consents, endorsements, drafts, stock powers or other instruments in such reasonable and customary form as shall be mutually agreed by Purchaser and Sellers, and Sellers shall at any time and from time to time after the Closing, upon reasonable request, execute, acknowledge, and deliver such additional bills of sale, endorsements, assignments, deeds, drafts, checks, stock powers or other instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably required to vest title to the Target Assets in Purchaser and otherwise effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

1.5 “AS IS” TRANSACTION. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLERS MAKE NO (AND SELLERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND NEGATE ANY) REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE TARGET ASSETS OR ANY OTHER MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCOME TO BE DERIVED OR EXPENSES TO BE INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE TARGET ASSETS, THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF ANY PART OF THE TARGET ASSETS OR ANY OTHER ASSET WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF ANY LEASE OR CONTRACT TO BE ASSUMED BY PURCHASER AT THE CLOSING, TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF ANY REAL PROPERTY WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF ANY REAL PROPERTY LEASE TO BE ASSUMED BY PURCHASER AT THE CLOSING, THE VALUE OF THE TARGET ASSETS (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF), THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE TARGET ASSETS, THE TERMS, AMOUNT, VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY ASSUMED LIABILITIES, THE TITLE OF THE TARGET ASSETS (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF), THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE TANGIBLE ASSETS, INVENTORY OR ANY OTHER PORTION OF THE TARGET ASSETS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY OTHER MATTER OR THING RELATING TO THE TARGET ASSETS OR ANY PORTION THEREOF. WITHOUT IN ANY WAY LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLERS HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AS TO ANY PORTION OF THE TARGET ASSETS. PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION AND INVESTIGATION OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE TARGET ASSETS AND ALL SUCH OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO OR AFFECTING THE TARGET ASSETS AS PURCHASER DEEMED NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE AND THAT IN PROCEEDING WITH ITS ACQUISITION OF THE TARGET ASSETS, EXCEPT FOR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, PURCHASER IS DOING SO BASED SOLELY UPON SUCH INDEPENDENT INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER WILL ACCEPT THE TARGET ASSETS AT THE CLOSING “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY (I) CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE, EXEMPLARY, TREBLE DAMAGES OR DAMAGES FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF USE, (II) DAMAGES OR LOSSES BASED ON OR USING CALCULATION OF LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS OR DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR (III) DAMAGES BASED ON A MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS OR OTHER METRIC OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY REASON WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE OTHER PARTY’S SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT.

Article 2
PURCHASE PRICE.

2.1Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale, conveyance, transfer, and delivery of the Target Assets, upon the terms and subject to the covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall assume the Assigned Contracts and the Assumed Liabilities and Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement such amounts they are required to deduct and withhold pursuant to any provision of Law, including those related to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Purchaser under any provision of this Agreement, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipients in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Assuming that the Sellers deliver all items described inSection 9.2, the Purchaser acknowledges that as of the date hereof, the Purchaser has no knowledge that withholding will be required pursuant to thisSection 2.1.

2.2Payment of the Purchase Price.

2.2.1 Within forty-eight (48) hours of the entry of a Bidding Procedures Order providing for the payment of a Break-up Fee and Expense Reimbursement as set forth inSection 6.4.2 below, Purchaser will execute and deliver to Sellers and an escrow agent mutually acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser (the“Escrow Agent”) an escrow agreement among Purchaser, Sellers and the Escrow Agent (the“Escrow Agreement”) and, upon execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by each of the other parties thereto, Purchaser will deliver to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, an amount equal to One Million U.S. Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in immediately available funds (the“Cash Deposit”). Any fees or costs payable to the Escrow Agent or in connection with the Escrow Agreement shall be divided evenly and payable one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Sellers. The Cash Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest-bearing account reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers. The Cash Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent and be released as follows:

2.2.1.1 If the Closing occurs, Sellers and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to, on the Closing Date, deliver the Cash Deposit, together with all accrued investment income thereon, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to Sellers, as provided inSection 2.2.2.3 in accordance with the instructions provided to the Escrow Agent (and such amounts shall be applied as a credit toward the payment of the Purchase Price).

2.2.1.2 If this Agreement is terminated by Sellers pursuant toSection 10.1.6 and Sellers are not then in breach of Sellers’ obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Cash Deposit, together with all accrued investment income thereon, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and if such deposit is delivered to, or becomes deliverable to, anyone other than Purchaser such deposit will constitute liquidated damages. Because it would be impractical and extremely difficult to determine the extent of any damages that might result from a breach of, or default under, this Agreement by Purchaser prior to the Closing, it is understood and agreed that such liquidated damages (in an amount equal to the Cash Deposit) represent Purchaser’s and Sellers’ reasonable estimate of actual damages, such liquidated damages do not constitute a penalty and such deposit will constitute Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of, or default under, this Agreement by Purchaser prior to the Closing.

2.2.1.3 If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than as set forth inSection 2.2.1.2, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Cash Deposit, together with all accrued investment income thereon, to Purchaser.

2.2.2 At the Closing:

2.2.2.1 Purchaser shall make a cash payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Sellers shall designate, of the“Closing Payment”which shall equal the Purchase Price,minus (i) an amount equal to the Cash Deposit and any accrued investment income thereon.

2.2.2.2 The Escrow Agent shall transfer the Cash Deposit and any accrued investment income thereon to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Sellers shall designate.

2.3Allocation of the Purchase Price. Sellers and Purchaser agree the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities as well as any other items constituting a portion of the amount realized with respect to the sale of the Target Assets for Tax purposes (the“Allocable Consideration”) will be allocated among the Target Assets in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Tax Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser will, no later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, prepare and deliver to Sellers a schedule setting forth the allocation of the Allocable Consideration in accordance with the preceding sentence (the“Allocation Schedule”). Sellers shall have fifteen (15) days to review and provide written comments to Purchaser with respect to the Allocation Schedule. If Sellers provide written comments to Purchaser in accordance with the preceding sentence, Purchaser and Sellers will endeavor for a period of not less than thirty (30) days to resolve any such comments. If Sellers do not provide written comments within such fifteen (15) day period or if Purchaser and Sellers resolve all such comments, (i) the Allocation Schedule, as revised, if applicable, shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, (ii) neither Purchaser nor any Seller will take any position that is contrary to or inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule for any Tax purpose, including with respect to any Tax Return (including amended Tax Returns) and (iii) in the event that the Allocation Schedule is disputed by any Governmental Authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute will promptly notify the other parties and the parties will consult in good faith as to how to resolve such dispute in a manner consistent with the agreed upon Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding any provision of thisSection 2.3 to the contrary, if Purchaser and Sellers are not able to resolve all written comments made by Sellers within the applicable fifteen (15) day period, each party shall be allowed to use that party’s own allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities.

6.4.2.13 unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser in its sole and reasonable discretion, require that only the Persons who submitted Qualifying Bids and Purchaser may participate in the Auction.

6.4.3Assignment Motion and Order. Contemporaneously with the filing of the Sale Motion, Sellers shall file with the Bankruptcy Court a motion (which may be included in the Sale Motion, the “Assignment Motion”) for an order authorizing the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts to Purchaser pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (which may be included in the Sale Order, the “Assignment Order”), which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Subject toSection 1.3, the Assigned Contracts shall be identified on an exhibit to the Assignment Motion. The exhibit shall set forth proposed Cure Amounts under each of such Assigned Contracts, as determined by Sellers based on Sellers’ books and records, and notify all parties to the Assigned Contracts that if they do not file an objection to the assumption and assignment of an Assigned Contract, or to the proposed Cure Amount associated therewith, such parties shall waive and be estopped from asserting any objection to such assumption and assignment or to the establishment of such Cure Amount. Other than the Assignment Motion, Sellers shall not file any motion seeking to assume or reject any Assigned Contract under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Purchaser. To the extent that the assignment to the Purchaser of any Assigned Contract or transfer to Purchaser of any Target Asset pursuant to this Agreement is not permitted without the consent of a third party and such restriction cannot be effectively overridden or canceled by the Sale Order, the Assignment Order or other related order of the Bankruptcy Court, then this Agreement will not be deemed to constitute an assignment of or an undertaking or attempt to assign such Contract or Target Asset or any right or interest therein unless and until such consent is obtained;provided,however, that the parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts, before the Closing, to obtain all such consents;provided,further, that if any such consents are not obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers and the Purchaser will reasonably cooperate with each other in any lawful and commercially feasible arrangement designed to provide the Purchaser with the benefits and obligations of any such Contract or Target Asset, the Purchaser shall be responsible for performing all obligations under such Contract required to be performed by the Sellers on or after the Closing Date to the extent set forth in this Agreement, and, unless reimbursed by Purchaser, Sellers shall not be required to expend any monetary funds in connection with such efforts or arrangements.

Thereafter, Sellers shall undertake all reasonable efforts in support of the Sale Motion and the Assignment Motion, and Purchaser agrees to cooperate in such efforts.

6.4.5Defense of Orders. If the Bidding Procedures Order, the Sale Order, the Assignment Order, or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Orders”) shall be appealed (or a petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing or reargument shall be filed with respect thereto), Sellers shall take all steps as may be appropriate to defend against such appeal, petition or motion, and Purchaser agrees to cooperate in such efforts, and each of Sellers and Purchaser hereto shall endeavor to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal.

6.4.7 Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Sellers and their Subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, investment bankers, accountants and other agents and representatives shall be permitted to solicit inquiries, proposals, offers or bids from, and negotiate with, any Person other than Purchaser relating to the direct or indirect sale, transfer or other disposition, in one or more transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Sellers and may take any other affirmative action (including entering into any agreement or letter-of-intent with respect thereto) to cause, promote or assist with any Alternative Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, Sellers and their Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, investment bankers, accountants and other agents and representatives shall be permitted to supply information relating to any Seller, the Target Business, the Target Assets or the Assumed Liabilities to prospective purchasers and their representatives that have executed a confidentiality agreement with any Seller or its Subsidiaries. None of the Sellers nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have any liability to Purchaser, either under or relating to this Agreement or any applicable Law, by virtue of entering into or seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of such definitive agreement for an Alternative Transaction pursuant to thisSection 6.4.7; provided, that Purchaser is paid any amounts due Purchaser pursuant toSection 10.2.1 at the time provided for therein. Each Seller and Purchaser agree to comply in all material respects with the terms of the Bidding Procedures Order and agree that to the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and the Bidding Procedures Order, the Bidding Procedures Order shall govern in all respects.

6.5Transition Services Agreement. At the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall enter into a transition services agreement in the form attached hereto asExhibit B, for a reasonable period of time after the Closing and for reasonable compensation, certain mutually agreeable services necessary, with respect to Purchaser, for the transition of the Target Assets from Sellers to Purchaser and, with respect to Sellers, for the ongoing administration of the Bankruptcy Cases and other transition services (the“Transition Services Agreement”).

Purchaser shall be liable and responsible for any notification required under the WARN Laws after the Closing Date.

6.6.4 Except as set forth inSection 6.7 below with respect to COBRA, the Purchaser will have no severance or other obligations with respect to anyone who is/was an employee of a Seller on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date but who does not become a Hired Active Business Employee, either due to declining an offer of employment made by Purchaser or due to not receiving an offer of employment from Purchaser. Except as set forth inSection 6.7 below with respect to COBRA, all such obligations, if any, shall be the responsibility of the Sellers.

6.7Salaries and Benefits.

6.7.1 Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its affiliates to, provide the Hired Employees with, at a minimum, base salary or wage levels and benefits that are, substantially similar to those of similarly situated employees of Purchaser.

Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable action to waive any preexisting condition or similar exclusion under such benefit plan or program established or maintained by Purchaser for any Hired Employees who were not covered by such exclusion prior to the Closing Date.

6.7.2 Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of all wages and other remuneration due to Active Business Employees and Active Non-Business Employees with respect to their services as employees of Sellers through the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, including pro rata bonus payments, any severance or termination payments, and all vacation pay earned prior to the Closing Date, other than the Assumed PTO and any termination or severance payments due to Hired Employees by reason of any events occurring after the Closing.

Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its affiliates to, permit Hired Active Business Employees who have an account balance under Sellers 401(k) Plan to roll over (whether by direct or indirect rollover, as selected by such Hired Active Business Employees) his or her “eligible rollover distribution” (as defined under Section 402(c)(4) of the Tax Code) in the form of cash, a promissory note (in the case of loans) or any combination thereof from Sellers 401(k) Plan to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan.

6.7.5 Sellers shall be responsible for any payment of accrued but unused vacation or paid time off to which any employee of the Sellers is entitled, whether under Applicable Laws or such policies of the Sellers in place prior to the Closing Date (the“Vacation Policy”), as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the Sellers’ discretion, the Purchaser shall assume the accrued but unused vacation or paid time off for the Hired Active Business Employees (“Assumed PTO”). The Assumed PTO shall be available for use by the Hired Employees in accordance with the Purchasers paid time off and vacation policies (“Purchaser PTO Policies”). The Disclosure Statement of Private Information previously provided to Purchaser sets forth the accrued but unused vacation or paid time off for each of the Active Business Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Assumed PTO for a Hired Employee is used by such Hired Employee, such Hired Active Business Employee will accrue paid time off and leave in accordance with the Purchaser PTO Policies as may be modified from time to time. For purposes of determining paid time off or vacation accrual under the Purchaser PTO Policies, the Purchaser shall give each Hired Employee credit for service provided to a Seller from the date of his or her most recent hire with such Seller until the date that is immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7.6 Sellers shall be liable for any claims made or incurred by Active Business Employees or Active Non-Business Employees and their beneficiaries through the Closing Date under the Benefit Plans.

6.7.7 No provision in this Agreement, including without limitation thisSection 6.7, shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any person, entity, or organization, including without limitation employees or former employees (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Sellers, unions or other representatives of such employees or former employees, or trustees, administrators, participants, or beneficiaries of any Benefit Plan, and no provision of this Agreement shall create such third-party beneficiary rights in any such person or organization in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Benefit Plan that is or may in the future be maintained by the Purchaser.
