Purchaser shall pay each Shareholder its pro rata share of the Cash Portion based on such Shareholder’s percentage ownership of the Shares and shall issue the Shareholders the Notes in such principal amounts based on each Shareholder’s percentage ownership of the Shares.

There is no pending or threatened Action relating to the Benefit Plans, the assets of any trust under any Benefit Plan, or the plan sponsor, plan administrator or any fiduciary of any Benefit Plan with respect to the administration or operation of such Benefit Plan, other than routine claims for benefits, and there are no facts or circumstances which could form the basis for any such Action. Neither the Company, nor any “party in interest” or “disqualified person” with respect to any Benefit Plan, has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code with respect to any Benefit Plan that could result in a material tax or penalty.

(d) All contributions and premiums (including all employer contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) that are due with respect to any Benefit Plan have been made within the time periods prescribed by applicable Law or by the terms of such Benefit Plan or any agreement relating thereto to the respective Benefit Plan, and all contributions, Liabilities or expenses of any Benefit Plan (including workers' compensation) for any period ending on or before the date hereof which are not yet due will have been paid or accrued on the relevant balance sheet in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles on or prior to the date hereof.

All group health plans of the Company have been operated in compliance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of COBRA.

(f) The consummation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents will not, either alone or in combination with any other event: (i) result in any payment becoming due, or increase the amount of compensation due, to any current or former employee or manager of the Company; (ii) increase any benefits payable under any Benefit Plan; or (iii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such compensation or benefits. Further, the Company has not announced any type of plan or binding commitment to create any additional Benefit Plan, to enter into any agreement with any current or former employee or manager, or to amend or modify any existing Benefit Plan or agreement with any current or former employee or manager.

(g) Section 2.18(g) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies each Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and associated Treasury Department guidance, including IRS Notice 2005-1 and Proposed Treasury Regulations at 70 Fed.

11.06 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

11.11 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

11.12 Governing Law. This Agreement and any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New Jersey without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of Laws.
