In the case of Hourly Newsprint Employees and Hourly Apache Employees, such coverage or benefits shall provide substantially comparable coverage and benefits in the aggregate as Seller’s health, life insurance, welfare and fringe benefit plans provide (for the purposes of this Section 6.8, “Seller’s Health, Welfare and Fringe Benefit Plans”) and otherwise comply with the relevant Collective Bargaining Agreements and in part shall provide for Purchaser’s assumption and continuation of Seller’s Health, Welfare and Fringe Benefit Plans covering Hourly Newsprint Employees and Hourly Apache Employees. In the case of Salaried Employees, Purchaser shall offer substantially comparable coverage and benefits in the aggregate as provided under Seller’s Health, Welfare and Fringe Benefit Plans, except for including retiree health and retiree life insurance. Purchaser may assume and continue any or all of Seller’s Health, Welfare and Fringe Benefit Plans, except for Seller’s health and dental benefits for Salaried Employees, coverage under which shall be provided to Retained Employees and Hired Employees in accordance with the terms of the Transitional Services Agreement. A Newsprint Employee’s or Apache Employee’s last continuous period of service with Seller or Apache shall be counted as if it had been service for Purchaser in determining eligibility for the coverage and benefits set forth in this Section 6.8. Attached as Schedule 6.8 is a list of the last continuous period of service of Newsprint Employees and Apache Employees as of the date set forth on Schedule 6.8. If Purchaser assumes and continues one or more of Seller’s Health, Welfare and Fringe Benefit Plans, the parties shall enter into the Welfare Benefit Plans Assignment and Assumption Agreement in this regard.

Transferred Employees Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment to each Applicable Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as provided in an individual employment Contract with any Applicable Employee or as required by the terms of an Assumed Plan, offers of employment to Applicable Employees whose employment rights are subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement as of the Closing Date, shall be made in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and Purchaser’s obligations under the Labor Management Relations Act of 1974, as amended. Each offer of employment to an Applicable Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement shall provide, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, for (i) base salary or hourly wage rates initially at least equal to such Applicable Employee’s base salary or hourly wage rate in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee pension and welfare benefits, Contracts and arrangements that are not less favorable in the aggregate than those listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, but not including any Retained Plan, equity or equity-based compensation plans or any Benefit Plan that does not comply in all respects with TARP. For the avoidance of doubt, each Applicable Employee on layoff status, leave status or with recall rights as of the Closing Date, shall continue in such status and/or retain such rights after Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business. Each Applicable Employee who accepts employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and commences working for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall become a “Transferred Employee.” To the extent such offer of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates is not accepted, Sellers shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, terminate the employment of all such Applicable Employees. Nothing in this Section 6.17(a) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is understood that the intent of this Section 6.17(a) is to provide a seamless transition from Sellers to Purchaser of any Applicable Employee subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Except for Applicable Employees with non- standard individual agreements providing for severance benefits, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it shall provide to each Transferred Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and whose employment is involuntarily terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, severance benefits that are not less favorable than the severance benefits such Transferred Employee would have received under the applicable Benefit Plans listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary such that Transferred Employees shall be credited for their actual and credited service with Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (except in the case of a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees may commence participation after the Closing that is not an Assumed Plan), in any employee benefit plans (excluding equity compensation plans or programs) covering Transferred Employees after the Closing to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of any of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit to any such Transferred Employee or the funding for any such benefit. Such benefits shall not be subject to any exclusion for any pre-existing conditions to the extent such conditions were satisfied by such Transferred Employees under a Parent Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and credit shall be provided for any deductible or out-of-pocket amounts paid by such Transferred Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

At the end of the initial three (3) month term, the Buyer or Buyer Designee shall have the option to extend employment to those Business Employees as it determines in its sole discretion. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, including data privacy and data protection Laws, Seller agrees to provide Buyer with such information reasonably requested by Buyer to assist it with complying with the terms of this Section 5.4 and to assist Buyer with determining the wages paid to the Transferred Employees (as defined below) with respect to the period beginning on December 29, 2017 and ending on the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall comply with all applicable Laws in connection with the transfer of the employees to Buyer or a Buyer Designee, including with respect to notice and other procedural requirements. Any offered Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer or a Buyer Designee shall be referred to as a “Transferred Employee”.

Except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4, no Benefit Plans or assets of any Benefit Plan shall be transferred to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. d) Seller and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment, under the terms of any Benefit Plan of Seller, of any Transferred Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and that such employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall provide, at a minimum, severance benefits substantially equivalent to the benefits contained in the plans listed or as described on Schedule 5.4(d) to Transferred Employees whose employment is terminated involuntarily by Buyer on or before December 31, 2017 other than terminations in circumstances that would not require payments of severance benefits under Seller’s severance plan. e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or a Buyer Designee to employ any Business Employees, or to employ any Transferred Employee on anything other than an at-will basis, terminable at any time with or without cause unless required otherwise under applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 5.4, expressed or implied, shall confer upon any employee or former employee of Seller or related entities (including, without limitation, the Transferred Employees) any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period) of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this Section 5.4. It is expressly agreed that the provisions of this Section 5.4 are not intended to be for the benefit of or otherwise be enforceable by, any third party, including, without limitation, any Transferred Employees. No provision of this Section 5.4 shall create any rights in any such persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided under any Benefit Plan or any plan or arrangement which may be established or maintained by Buyer, shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify an Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement nor shall require Seller, Buyer or any Affiliate of Seller or Buyer to continue or amend any particular benefit plan and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law
