1. Release of Escrow. Section 2.06 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
Escrow Arrangement. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Escrow Agent, in immediately available funds by wire transfer, cash in U.S. Dollars in an amount (the “Escrow Amount”) equal to the (a) Closing Purchase Price, reduced for any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.05(b), without duplication, plus (b) the Escrow Agent Fees, to hold in an account (the “Escrow Account”) in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit C.

4. Escrow Agent. The definition of “Escrow Agent” in Section 1.01 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Escrow Agent” means U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, and any successor thereto under the Escrow Agreement.

Each Purchaser DC Plan or the policies thereunder will provide for the receipt in kind from the DC Employees of “eligible rollover distributions” (as such term is defined under Section 402 of the Code). The Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate in order to facilitate any such distribution or rollover and to effect an eligible rollover distribution for those DC Employees who timely elect to rollover their account balances directly into a Purchaser DC Plan. Each Business DC Plan and any applicable policy thereunder will be amended to provide that a DC Employee who has an outstanding loan under a Business DC Plan will be permitted to continue repaying such loan under such Business DC Plan after the Closing Date to the maximum extent permitted by law.

As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date), the Purchaser shall offer employment, effective no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, to all Offer Employees who are actively at work on the Closing Date (each, an “Active Offer Employee”) and the Purchaser shall be liable for, and shall reimburse and indemnify the Seller with respect to, all costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with the employment of such Offer Employees during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (x) the date the Offer Employees transfer employment to Purchaser (such date, the “Transfer Time”) and (y) such 30th day following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not be liable for, and shall not reimburse or
2
indemnify the Seller with respect to any amount due in connection with the employment of such Offer Employee as the result of the willful misconduct or unlawful activity of the Seller or its agents (for the avoidance of doubt, any liabilities that arise as a result of an action or an omission by the Purchaser shall be borne solely by the Purchaser and the Seller shall have no liability in connection therewith). Prior to the applicable Transfer Time, an Offer Employee who remains employed shall be for all purposes considered an employee of Seller.
10. Severance. Section 7.05(b)(vi) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
Severance or Other Termination Liabilities. The Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Transactions should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Business Employee prior to or upon the occurrence of the Closing Date or the applicable Transfer Time, including for purposes of any Business Benefit Plan that provides for separation, termination or severance benefits, and that such employee shall have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date and the applicable Transfer Time, and Seller and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, comply with any requirements under applicable Law to ensure the same. In the event an Offer Employee does not accept an offer of employment from the Purchaser (for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether such offer complies or does not comply with the requirements of this Agreement) and such Offer Employee’s employment is terminated by the Seller following such rejection, the Purchaser shall be liable for, and shall indemnify the Seller with respect to, all costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with any severance payments or other separation benefits (including the employer-paid portion of any employment taxes) resulting from such termination.
11. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof.
