Credit Support Arrangements. Buyer acknowledges that, in the course of the conduct of the Business by Sellers, Sellers have entered into various arrangements (the "Seller Credit Support Arrangements"), including letters of credit, guaranty, surety and other similar obligations (all as set forth on Schedule 2.2(k)). Buyer and Sellers agree that the Seller Credit Support Arrangements are not intended to inure to the benefit of Buyer after the Closing and that Sellers intend to monetize the Seller Credit Support Arrangements after the Closing. Buyer agrees that Sellers shall have no responsibility to continue any of the Seller Credit Support Arrangements in order to satisfy obligations with respect to the Business and the Acquired Assets arising after the Closing Date. Buyer agrees that, to the extent that the Seller Credit Support Arrangements serve to secure performance of obligations relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets which arise after the Closing, Buyer will enter into replacement credit support arrangements if and as necessary to secure such post-Closing obligations. Sellers and Buyer agree that: (i) Sellers are solely responsible for all workers' compensation claims with respect to injuries or other occurrences which occur prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into replacement credit support arrangements to the extent they relate to such obligations; and (ii) Buyer shall be solely responsible for all workers' compensation claims with respect to injuries or other occurrences which occur after the Closing, and Buyer will enter into credit support arrangements if and as necessary to the extent they relate to such obligations. In addition, Buyer agrees to cooperate with Sellers to enable Sellers to monetize the Seller Credit Support Arrangements for which Buyer is not required to enter into replacement credit support arrangements in accordance with the immediately preceding two sentences. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer in connection with such cooperation, it being understood that such cooperation will not include any obligation to pay the counterparties to such Seller Credit Support Arrangements.
