2
of the foregoing) in a transaction or series of transactions to a party or parties other than Purchaser within one year from the date hereof, or (iii) choose not to sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, including through an asset sale, stock sale, merger, reorganization or other similar transaction (by any Debtor or otherwise), all or substantially all or a material portion of the Acquired Assets (or agree to do any of the foregoing) to Purchaser whether as a result of the proposal of a stand-alone plan of reorganization or otherwise (either of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Alternative Transaction”); provided however, that in no event shall the Termination Fee be payable to Purchaser (1) if Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(vi), the proviso to Section 7.l(a)(viii)(3), Section 7.1(a)(ix) or Section 7.1(a)(x); (2) if this Agreement is terminated by the Debtors pursuant to Section 7.l(a)(iii)(A); (3) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i); (4) if on the last day of the month that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 of this Agreement (with such date replacing the terms “Closing” and “Closing Date” in Section 6.2 of this Agreement) have been satisfied or waived without the Closing having occurred Purchaser fails to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; or (5) if this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(v)(A) solely because of the filing of a motion to convert the Debtors’ cases under Chapter 7. Moreover, in the event that the Debtors accept a Bid, other than that of Purchaser, as the highest and best offer, but that Alternative Transaction fails to close and Purchaser ultimately acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors, Purchaser shall not be entitled to the Termination Fee, and any Termination Fee paid to Purchaser will be returned to the Debtors. The obligations of the Debtors to pay the Termination Fee shall be entitled to administrative expense status under Section 503(b)(1) in the Bankruptcy Case and shall become due and payable upon the termination of this Agreement as provided for hereunder and the Bidding Procedures Order.”

Each such employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment is hereinafter referred to as a “Transferred Employee”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be prohibited by this Section 5.9 from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee following the Closing Date. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall create a contract of employment or alter the at-will status of any employee of the Business.”
3

The Debtors shall take appropriate action to terminate any severance plan, program or agreement, whether written or oral, applicable to non-union employees and non-union former employees of the Debtors prior to the date of this Agreement; provided that, any non-union former employee who became entitled to severance under the Debtors’ severance plan or program prior to the date of this Agreement, shall continue to receive any owed payments of severance in accordance with the terms of such severance plan or program. The Debtors shall not amend, suspend or terminate the New Severance Plan, without the express written consent of Purchaser, unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VII hereby. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Agreement to the contrary, (i) Purchaser shall not be responsible or liable for any severance payments, whether directly or through payments to the Debtors or otherwise, to any employees of the Debtors who are not Transferred Employees, (ii) neither Purchaser nor the Debtors shall be responsible or liable for any severance payments under the New Severance Plan to Transferred Employees or those employees of the Debtors who are offered employment by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.9(a) and decline such offer and (iii) Purchaser acknowledges that Debtor may, subject to express written consent of Xxxxxx as to cash collateral, which may be granted or withheld in Xxxxxx’x sole discretion, make prior to the Closing Date all or any portion of the severance payments payable by them under the New Severance Plan to employees terminated by the Debtors at or prior to the Closing Date.”
Section 2.9. Liberty Bonding Commitments. The Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Sections 5.25 and 5.26 after Section 5.24:
“Section 5.25 Liberty Bonding Commitments. Purchaser shall notify Liberty Mutual Insurance Company at least two Business Days prior to the date scheduled for the Bankruptcy Court hearing on the Sale Approval Order as to which of the following two alternatives it will proceed under at the Closing: (a) Section 6.1.I of the Supplemental Term Sheet or (b) Section 6.1.II of the Supplemental Term Sheet.

The Debtors acknowledge and agree that (i) the decision of whether or not to pursue any of the Avis/Hertz Claims shall be the decision of Purchaser, in its sole discretion, (ii) Purchaser shall have the sole right to control the prosecution and settlement of the Avis/Hertz Claims and (iii) Purchaser shall have the right to settle the Avis/Hertz Claims for cash or non-cash consideration, and Debtors shall have no rights with respect to non-cash consideration.”
