In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets and the Affiliate Assets, at the Closing the Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and shall pay to the Seller the Closing Date Adjusted Purchase Price in cash in immediately available funds into an account designated by the Seller. Following the Closing, the Closing Date Adjusted Purchase Price shall be subject to verification and adjustment as set forth in Section 1.5.

(b) Additional Purchase Price Payments and Excess Revenue Payments. As additional consideration for the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets, following the Closing, (i) for each Post-Closing Period, the Buyer shall make the applicable Additional Purchase Price Payment, if any, in respect of such Post-Closing Period and (ii) for each of the Second Post-Closing Period and the Third Post-Closing Period, the Buyer shall make the Applicable Excess Revenue Payment, if any, in respect of such Post-Closing Period. The payments contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) shall be made shall be made in accordance with and subject to the procedures set forth in Section 1.2(c).

(i) Not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each Post-Closing Period, the Buyer shall prepare in good faith and deliver to the Seller a statement setting forth the Buyer’s calculation in accordance with Exhibit J of the Acquired Assets Revenue, the Annualized Revenue and the Applicable Additional Purchase Price Payment, in each case, as of the end of the applicable Post-Closing Period, and, if applicable, the Applicable Excess Revenue Payment and Lost Pruco Revenue (each such statement, a “Revenue Statement”). Each Revenue Statement (x) shall include for the relevant calendar quarter (A) the amounts called for by clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii), (b)(i) and (b)(ii) of the definition of “Acquired Assets Revenue” (as set forth in Schedule 11.1) for each Acquired Sponsor Contract and each Acquired Prospect Contract and (B) if applicable, the amounts called for by clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of the definition of “Annualized Pruco Revenue” (as set forth in Schedule 11.1) and (y) shall be accompanied by the supporting materials set forth on Schedule 1.2(c).

(ii) As soon as practicable following delivery of the Revenue Statement for the most recently ended Post-Closing Period (but no later than fifty (50) days after the end of such Post-Closing Period), the Buyer shall, subject to the Buyer’s setoff right under Section 6.7, pay to the Seller (in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Seller) the Applicable Additional Purchase Payment and Applicable Excess Revenue Payment, if any, for such Post-Closing Period.

(iii) Upon the written request of the Seller provided within sixty (60) days after the date a Revenue Statement has been delivered pursuant to Section 1.2(c), the Buyer shall permit a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm (the “Section 1.2 Accounting Firm”), at the Seller’s expense, to have access to the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing such Revenue Statement (but not any preceding Revenue Statement), as well as the personnel of the Buyer and its Affiliates with knowledge regarding the matters underlying such

Confidential Treatment Requested

Revenue Statement and the calculations set forth therein, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the Revenue Statement and such calculations. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Section 1.2 Accounting Firm to work in good faith to complete any such inspection and audit within sixty (60) days of the date the Seller has made its request under the first sentence of this Section 1.2(c)(iii); provided that such sixty (60)-day period shall be extended to the extent the Buyer has delayed in agreeing to the identity of the Section 1.2 Accounting Firm or access to the relevant work papers, back-up materials and personnel of the Buyer and its Affiliates is not provided to the Section 1.2 Accounting Firm promptly. If the Section 1.2 Accounting Firm concludes that Annualized Revenue was underreported, or that Annualized Pruco Revenue was overreported, in each case, in such Revenue Statement by more than five percent (5%), the Buyer shall promptly reimburse the Seller for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Section 1.2 Accounting Firm’s inspection and audit. If the Seller does not deliver the written request required under this Section 1.2(c)(iii) within sixty (60) days after the date a Revenue Statement has been delivered to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i), such Revenue Statement shall be conclusive and binding, absent fraud or manifest error.

(iv) Promptly following any determination by the Section 1.2 Accounting Firm that Annualized Revenue was underreported, or that, if reported, Annualized Pruco Revenue was overreported, in each case in such Revenue Statement in a manner negatively impacting the amount of an Applicable Additional Purchase Price Payment or Applicable Excess Revenue Payment for the applicable Post-Closing Period (but no later than two (2) Business Days following such determination), the Buyer shall pay to the Seller (in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Seller) the total amount by which the Applicable Additional Purchase Price Payment or Applicable Excess Revenue Payment previously made relating to such Post-Closing Period was negatively impacted as a result of such underreporting of Annualized Revenue or, if reported, overreporting of Annualized Pruco Revenue (plus interest from the date that is fifty (50) days following the end of the applicable Post Closing Period to, but not including, the date of payment at a rate equal to one month LIBOR as of such date, calculated on a 360 day basis). In the event that the Section 1.2 Accounting Firm determines that the Buyer paid to the Seller an amount greater than that to which the Seller was entitled pursuant to this Section 1.2, then, no later than two (2) Business Days following such determination, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Buyer the total amount by which the Applicable Purchase Price Payment or Applicable Excess Revenue Payment previously made by the Buyer relating to such Post-Closing Period was overpaid.

(v) The Parties understand and agree that the Post-Closing Payments are an integral part of the consideration payable to the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and, other than as specifically contemplated by Section 6.7, shall be payable without setoff or counterclaim. Once paid, any and all amounts paid by the Buyer with respect to any Post-Closing Payments hereunder shall not be refundable or otherwise subject to retroactive reduction.

(vi) For all purposes of this Agreement, the Acquired Assets Revenue, the Annualized Revenue and the Annualized Pruco Revenue shall be calculated in accordance with the principles and procedures set forth on Exhibit J (it being understood and agreed that Annualized Pruco Revenue will be calculated in the same manner the Acquired Assets Revenue and the Annualized Revenue are calculated with respect to the other Sponsor Contracts in existence on the date hereof).

(d) Post-Closing Conduct of the Business. From and after the Closing until the end of the Third Post-Closing Period, the Buyer shall and, if applicable, shall cause the Buyer Subsidiaries to operate the Business in a commercially reasonable manner. From and after the Closing until the Final Payment Date, the Buyer shall not take any action or inaction in bad faith or with the intention of decreasing the amount of any Post-Closing Payment, including transferring any assets among the Buyer and the Buyer Subsidiaries with the intention of impairing the Buyer’s ability to make the Post-Closing Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the provisions of this Section 1.2(d) shall not (x) require the Buyer to continue any line of business conducted by the Business as of any date if the Buyer, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, believes that it is not reasonable for the Buyer to continue such line of business or (y) limit the Buyer from improving or modifying any aspect of the Business in the exercise of the Buyer’s reasonable business judgment and (ii) the Seller’s right to the Post-Closing Payments under this Section 1.2 is a contract right and shall not give rise to any rights or duties (including fiduciary duties), express or implied, other than those expressly set forth herein.

(e) Sale of Acquired Assets. In the event that, prior to the Final Payment Date, the Buyer proposes to consummate a transaction pursuant to which all or substantially all of the Acquired Sponsor Contracts and Acquired Prospect Contracts are sold or transferred to an entity that is not a Buyer Subsidiary (or the Buyer, or a Buyer Subsidiary that is party to any such contracts, is sold or transferred to an entity that is not the Buyer or another Buyer Subsidiary) (any such transaction, a “Divestiture”) in a transaction in which the proposed purchaser or transferee would assume the obligations of the Buyer under this Section 1.2, the Buyer shall provide notice of such proposed Divestiture to the Seller, together with such information regarding the relevant purchaser or transferee as the Seller shall reasonably request. The Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date the Seller receives any such notice (or any information the Seller may have reasonably requested within the initial ten (10) Business Day period) to provide an objection to any such proposed Divestiture on the basis that there is a reasonable likelihood that the proposed purchaser or transferee is not financially capable of making the remaining Post-Closing Payments. The Buyer shall provide the Seller with prompt notice of the consummation of any Divestiture and thereafter shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 1.2 except to the extent (x) the Seller provides a timely notice of objection pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or (y) the definitive documentation for the proposed Divestiture does not contain a written assumption of the Buyer’s obligations under this Section 1.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller’s timely objection notice shall not prohibit the consummation of the Divestiture.

(f) Books and Records. From the Closing Date until the Final Payment Date, the Buyer agrees to maintain true and accurate books and records relating to the subject matter of this Section 1.2, which it shall make available to the Seller pursuant to Section 10.1.

If within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Allocation, the Seller notifies the Buyer in writing that the Seller objects to one or more items reflected in such Allocation, the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.

If the Buyer and the Seller fail to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation within thirty (30) Business Days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Seller’s notice of an objection to the Allocation, the Seller shall not be bound by the Allocation as prepared by the Buyer and shall be permitted to file any Tax Returns and take any Tax position consistent with the Seller’s determination of the proper Allocation, notwithstanding that such Allocation may be inconsistent with the Allocation as prepared by the Buyer.

Confidential Treatment Requested

Seller-Determined Closing Adjustment Amount, on the other hand. The Buyer shall make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Buyer’s Closing Net Asset Schedule and the Buyer-Determined Closing Adjustment Amount, as well as the personnel of the Buyer with knowledge regarding such calculations, available to the Seller and its Representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b) If the Seller fails to deliver to the Buyer a statement describing any objections to the Buyer’s Closing Net Asset Schedule or the Buyer-Determined Closing Adjustment Amount within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt by the Seller, then such Buyer-Determined Closing Adjustment Amount shall be deemed to be the “Stipulated Closing Adjustment Amount”. However, if the Seller delivers to the Buyer a statement describing any objections to the Buyer’s Closing Net Asset Schedule or the Buyer-Determined Closing Adjustment Amount within such thirty (30)-Business Day period, then the Seller and the Buyer shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, in good faith, any such objections. If the Buyer and the Seller reach a resolution of all such objections, then the Buyer-Determined Closing Adjustment Amount as modified by such resolution shall be deemed to be the “Stipulated Closing Adjustment Amount”. If such a resolution is not reached within twenty (20) Business Days after the Buyer has received a statement describing the Seller’s objections to the Buyer’s Closing Net Asset Schedule or the Buyer-Determined Closing Adjustment Amount, then the Seller and the Buyer shall submit promptly and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such twenty (20)-Business Day period any unresolved objections (the “Disputed Items”) to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm (the “Section 1.5 Accounting Firm”) for resolution in accordance with the following sentences of this Section 1.5(b). The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, may provide the Section 1.5 Accounting Firm, within ten (10) Business Days of retaining the Section 1.5 Accounting Firm, with a definitive statement of their respective positions with respect to each Disputed Item (and only such Disputed Items). The Section 1.5 Accounting Firm will be provided with access to the books and records of the Buyer and the Seller relevant to the preparation of the Closing Net Asset Schedule and the calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount. The Section 1.5 Accounting Firm will be asked (i) to review each of the Disputed Items on an expedited basis, and shall in any event have no more than twenty (20) Business Days to carry out the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5(b), (ii) to prepare a written statement of its decision with respect to each Disputed Item, which decision shall be the position of the Buyer or the Seller for such Disputed Item that is closest to the Accounting Firm’s independent determination of such Disputed Item based on the principles set forth on Exhibit A, and (iii) to prepare the Closing Net Asset Schedule and the calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount, in each case, as modified by the Section 1.5 Accounting Firm’s decision (as between the Buyer’s and the Seller’s position) with respect to each Disputed Item. The Closing Adjustment Amount so calculated shall be deemed to be the “Stipulated Closing Adjustment Amount”. The decision of the Section 1.5 Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding, absent fraud or manifest error. The Parties shall each pay their own respective costs and expenses incurred under this Section 1.5, and the Party whose proposed Closing Adjustment Amount differed the most and was the farthest away from the Stipulated Closing Adjustment Amount, as determined by the Section 1.5 Accounting Firm pursuant to the second preceding sentence, shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Section 1.5 Accounting Firm.

Confidential Treatment Requested

(c) Within two (2) Business Days of the determination of the Stipulated Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 1.5(b), the following shall occur:

(i) Using the Stipulated Closing Adjustment Amount as the Closing Adjustment Amount, the Seller and the Buyer shall calculate the Final Adjusted Purchase Price.

(ii) If the Final Adjusted Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Date Adjusted Purchase Price, then the Buyer shall pay to the Seller (in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Seller) the total amount by which the Final Adjusted Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Date Adjusted Purchase Price (plus interest from the Closing Date to, but not including, the date of payment at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR as of such date, calculated on a 360-day basis).

(iii) If the Final Adjusted Purchase Price is less than the Closing Date Adjusted Purchase Price, then the Seller shall pay to the Buyer (in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Buyer) the total amount by which the Final Adjusted Purchase Price is less than the Closing Date Adjusted Purchase Price (plus interest from the Closing Date to, but not including, the date of payment at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR as of such date, calculated on a 360-day basis).

1.6 Consents to Assignment. If (a) any Assigned Contract other than any Sponsor Contract or any Manager Contract (each, a “Non-Assigned Contract”) may not be assigned, delegated and transferred by the Seller to the Buyer (as a result of either the provisions thereof or applicable law) without the consent or approval of a third party and (b) such consent or approval has not been obtained prior to the Closing, then, with respect to each such Non-Assigned Contract (other than any Non-Assigned Contract that has been cancelled or terminated by the applicable counterparty or has expired), (i) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Non-Assigned Contract shall not be assigned, delegated and transferred by the Seller to the Buyer at the Closing, (ii) until the end of the Post-Closing Consent Period, the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate, in all commercially reasonable respects, to obtain the necessary consent or approval as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall be required to make any payments or agree to any material undertakings in connection with obtaining any such consent, and (iii) from and after the Closing until the earlier to occur of (x) the assignment of such Non-Assigned Contract following the receipt of the necessary consents or approvals or (y) such time as the Seller no longer has any obligations remaining under any Non-Assigned Contract, the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate, in all commercially reasonable respects (including, if permitted by applicable law and contract, by entering into a subcontracting arrangement), to provide to the Buyer all of the benefits under such Non-Assigned Contract and to cause the Buyer to fulfill, satisfy and perform all of the liabilities and obligations under such Non-Assigned Contract.

1.7 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by either Party and at such Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Confidential Treatment Requested

1.8 Withholding. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable by it pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided that the Parties agree to cooperate with one another and take all reasonable actions to minimize such amounts that need to be deducted and withheld. In the event any amount is deducted and withheld, such amount shall be promptly paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid by the Buyer.

(a) any breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller contained in ARTICLE II of this Agreement or of a representation or warranty of the Seller Affiliate contained in the Affiliate Xxxx of Sale;

(b) any failure by the Seller to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;

(d) any claim brought by a Seller Business Employee, a successor to the rights of a Seller Business Employee or a Governmental Authority (i) relating to such Seller Business Employee not being a Scheduled Employee or due to Buyer’s failure to offer employment to a Seller Business Employee or (ii) arising from or related to the Buyer’s determination of which Seller Business Employees are to be Scheduled Employees, Transitional New Buyer Employees and Non-Transitional New Buyer Employees, in each case to the extent related to a charge of discrimination or disparate treatment by Buyer or by Seller (to the extent Seller was acting, or deemed to be acting, at the direction of Buyer).

6.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Third-Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt (but in any event within thirty (30) days) written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Action relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party. Such notification shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by

Confidential Treatment Requested

the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such third-party claim and a good faith estimate of the amount of the Damages claimed, if then determinable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the defense of such Action is prejudiced by the Indemnifying Party’s failure or delay in giving such notice. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such Action and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto, and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable local law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing either Party with respect to a third-party claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of an Action, the Indemnified Party (1) shall not agree to any settlement of such Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party if such settlement would result in the Indemnifying Party becoming liable for an indemnification claim hereunder and (2) shall agree to any settlement of such Action that the Indemnifying Party may recommend that by its terms (or pursuant to a binding commitment of the Indemnifying Party) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of any Damages payable in connection with such settlement; provided, however, that the sole relief provided is such Damages paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and such settlement would not result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of law by the Indemnified Party.

(b) Direct Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VI (other than a claim for indemnification arising out of a third-party claim) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a Claim Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay in delivering a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the defense of such claim is prejudiced by the Indemnifying Party’s failure or delay in delivering such Claim Notice. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.5(a)(i) and 6.5(a)(ii), be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive an Agreed Amount with respect to such claim for indemnification (in which case such response shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.5(a)(i) and 6.5(a)(ii), be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer) or (iii) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or a portion of the Claimed Amount and the Indemnified Party disputes such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party

Confidential Treatment Requested

shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.12.

6.4 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Seller and the Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Buyer Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Section 2.5 shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any applicable extensions).

(b) The covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein (i) that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or that prohibit actions, prior to the Closing shall expire upon the occurrence of the Closing, except that claims for indemnification in respect of any breach thereof shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing and (ii) that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or that prohibit actions, following the Closing shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) months after the expiration in accordance with their terms.

(c) If an indemnification claim is properly and in good faith asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b) of the representation or warranty or covenant or agreement that is the basis for such claim, then such representation or warranty or covenant or agreement shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such indemnification claim.

(other than severance benefits, any benefits provided under any agreement excluded from Section 2.9(a)(xi) or any defined benefit pension or retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits), perquisites and other terms and conditions of employment that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the salary or wage level, bonus opportunity, benefits (other than severance benefits, any benefits provided under any agreement excluded from Section 2.9(a)(xi) or any defined benefit pension or retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits), perquisites, and other terms and conditions that such Scheduled Employee was entitled to receive immediately prior to the date of this Agreement and (iv) requiring such employee to accept or decline such offer within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such offer. The Seller has provided the Buyer the information set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing Date, the Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall provide each New Buyer Employee, as of the Closing Date, with compensation and benefits (including incentive and equity-based compensation, but excluding any defined benefit pension or retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits) at least as favorable as the compensation and benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of the Buyer and its Affiliates as of the Closing Date. The Buyer or its Affiliates will condition the offers to each Canadian Employee on such employee’s resigning in a manner that does not impose severance obligations on the Canadian Subsidiary nor trigger any rights to statutory or other benefits. The obligation of the Buyer to provide, or cause to provide, the conditions of employment relating to pay and employee benefits in accordance with this Section 9.1 shall continue for a period ending not earlier than one (1) year following the Closing Date. The Buyer shall provide a list to the Seller twenty-one (21) Business Days following the date of this Agreement of all Scheduled Employees who have accepted offers of employment as of such date. For the avoidance of doubt, all provisions relating to severance benefits to be paid with respect to New Buyer Employees after the Closing Date shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.3(d) of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein, any Scheduled Employee who is on short-term disability leave as of the Closing Date (an “On-Leave Business Employee”) will not become a New Buyer Employee until such time, if any, as such On-Leave Business Employee has been approved to return to active employment, at which time such employee shall be offered continued employment (with any reasonable accommodation, as necessary) with the Buyer or one of its Affiliates, but only if such employee is able to return to active employment within nine months after the Closing Date. If and when the On-Leave Business Employee returns to active status (and has accepted the offer of employment from the Buyer and its Affiliates), such On-Leave Business Employee shall be considered a New Buyer Employee and the On-Leave Business Employee shall become eligible for coverage and benefits under all employee benefit plans or programs maintained by the Buyer or its Affiliates under the same terms and conditions that apply to other New Buyer Employees, effective as of such date of return and with service credit under Section 9.3(b) as though it referred to his or her date of return rather than the Closing Date.

9.2 Cessation of Employee Benefit Plan Participation. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the New Buyer Employees shall cease to participate in or accrue further benefits as active employees of the Seller or the Canadian Subsidiary under the Employee Benefit Plans effective as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of any On-Leave Business Employee who becomes a New Buyer Employee, such later date as of which such employee becomes a New Buyer Employee).

The Buyer will assume, bear, and discharge all liabilities with respect to commissions and 2013 annual incentive award payments that are accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date or that, with respect to the period in 2013 following the Closing Date, will continue to accrue, other than any commission payments due to be paid by the Seller or its Affiliates on or before the Closing Date.

(b) The Buyer will take into account periods of service of the New Buyer Employees with the Seller and its Affiliates through the Closing Date, as credited by the Seller or its Affiliates through the Closing Date under the Business Benefit Plans, for purposes of determining, as applicable, the eligibility of New Buyer Employees for participation in and vesting under (but not for benefit accrual) the employee benefit plans offered by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to the New Buyer Employees, including vacation plans or arrangements, 401(k) or other retirement savings plans and any severance or welfare plans, and the New Buyer Employee shall receive service credit for purposes of benefits levels under the vacation/paid time off and severance plans of Buyer and its Affiliates based on such prior service.

(c) The Buyer shall cause the insurance carriers and administrators under the group health plans of the Buyer and its Affiliates to (i) waive any limitation on health coverage of New Buyer Employees due to pre-existing conditions and/or waiting periods, active employment requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health under the applicable health plan of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to the extent such New Buyer Employees are currently covered under a health plan of the Seller or its Affiliates (including the Canadian Subsidiary) and (ii) to credit any expenses incurred by the New Buyer Employees and their beneficiaries or dependents under similar plans of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Canadian Subsidiary) during the portion of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket expenses or any like or similar expenses or costs.

The Seller or one of its Affiliates shall reimburse the Buyer and its Affiliates for such cash severance payments made by the Buyer or one of its Affiliates with respect to each such terminated New Buyer Employee (other than any Specified Employee) if the sum of (x) total number of New Buyer Employees who remain employed by the Buyer or one of its Affiliates immediately after the Severance Outside Date (the “Remaining Employees”) plus (y) the total number of New Buyer Employees who are terminated by Buyer or one of its Affiliates for cause on or prior to the Severance Outside Date or who voluntarily terminate employment with the Buyer or one of its Affiliates on or prior to the Severance Outside Date (and in each case are not entitled to severance on or prior to the Severance Outside Date under this Section 9.3(d)) (the “Non-Severance Terminated Employees”) is equal to, or exceeds, [***]. If the sum of (I) the Remaining Employees plus (II) the Non-Severance Terminated Employees is less than [***], the Buyer shall retain all liability for severance costs and expenses for the number of such terminated New Buyer Employees that is equal to (AA) [***] minus (BB) the sum of the Remaining Employees and the Non-Severance Terminated Employees, and the Seller shall reimburse the Buyer and its Affiliates for any and all cash severance payments made by the Buyer and its Affiliates to all such other terminated New Buyer Employees; provided that the Buyer, in such case, shall be permitted in its sole discretion to designate the terminated New Buyer Employees (other than any Specified Employee) for whom the Seller or its Affiliates shall provide reimbursement to Buyer or its Affiliates of cash severance payments. The Buyer shall provide the Seller with written notice of the making of any such severance payment to any such employee and the Seller or its Affiliates shall provide such reimbursement to the Buyer or its applicable Affiliates, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days after receipt from the Buyer of such notice. The severance benefits, if any, to be provided by the Buyer and its Affiliates to any New Buyer Employee during the period following the Severance Outside Date shall be determined by the Buyer in its sole discretion.

For the avoidance of doubt, and except as provided in this Section 9.4(a), the Seller and its Affiliates (including the Canadian Subsidiary) shall retain, bear and discharge all liabilities, including, without limitation, liabilities for severance benefits, with respect to each Seller Business Employee who does not become a New Buyer Employee. Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to make offers of employment in compliance with applicable laws.
