WHEREAS, the board of directors of ESCT, currently a privately-held, non-publicly-reporting, non publicly-trading majority-owned Subsidiary of TRC, has determined it to be in the best of interests of TRC, as the controlling stockholder of ESCT, to cause there to be an independent public trading market for the common stock of ESCT;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of FIND (i) has determined that the Merger (as defined in Section 1.1(a) below) is fair to, advisable for, and consistent with the best interests of, FIND and its stockholders (collectively as of the Closing [as hereinafter defined], and inclusive of the FIND Principal Stockholders, the “FIND Stockholders”), and (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Transactions”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of ESCT (i) has determined that the Merger is fair to, advisable for, and consistent with the best interests of, ESCT and the stockholders of ESCT (collectively as of the Closing [as hereinafter defined], and inclusive of TRC, the “ESCT Stockholders”), and (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger, and the Transactions;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of TRC (i) has determined that the Merger is fair to, advisable for, and consistent with the best interests of, TRC, as the majority, controlling stockholder of ESCT, and (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger, and the Transactions;

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the acquisition of ESCT by FIND pursuant to this Agreement qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code; and
 
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used throughout this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Section 12.3 hereof or in the Section of this Agreement to which reference is made within Section 12.4 hereof.

(xvi)           Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing among ESCT, FIND, and the respective holder prior to the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of FIND Common Stock (each, a “FIND Common Stock Purchase Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and all obligations arising and existing thereunder, shall be unaffected.

(xvii)           Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing among ESCT, FIND, and the respective holder prior to the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of ESCT Common Stock (each, a “ESCT Common Stock Purchase Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and all obligations arising and existing thereunder, shall be deemed for all purposes thereafter to have been assumed by, and to have converted by virtue of the Merger into a FIND Common Stock Purchase Warrant, provided, however, that each such FIND Common Stock Purchase shall (a) continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options as shall have been in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) be exercisable (or become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of FIND Common Stock for which such corresponding ESCT Common Stock Purchase Warrant had been exercisable (for shares of ESCT Common Stock) immediately prior to the Effective Time, adjusted to give effect to the ESCT Common Stock Exchange Ratio (as rounded down to the nearest whole share), (c) be exercisable (or become exercisable in accordance with its terms) at a price per share of FIND Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of ESCT Common Stock at which such corresponding ESCT Common Stock Purchase Warrant shall have been exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, adjusted to give effect to the ESCT Common Stock Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent), and (d) be deemed to refer to FIND wherever reference is made to ESCT in and throughout any agreement and/or certificates representing the corresponding ESCT Common Stock Purchase Warrant.

(xviii)            Each option to purchase shares of FIND Common Stock issued and outstanding under any option plan or otherwise immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “FIND Stock Option”), whether or not vested, shall, by be unaffected.

(xix)            Each option to purchase shares of ESCT Common Stock issued and outstanding under any ESCT stock option and/or other incentive plan (an “ESCT Option Plan”) immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “ESCT Stock Option”), whether or not vested, shall, by virtue of the Merger, be assumed by FIND; provided, however, that each ESCT Stock Option so assumed by FIND (each, a “ESCT Replacement Option,” and collectively the “ESCT Replacement Options” and, together with all other securities issuable as a result of and in connection with the Merger in accordance with this Section 1.3 of this Agreement, the “Merger Securities”) shall (a) continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options as shall have been in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including without limitation any repurchase rights, risk of forfeiture, or vesting provisions and any related provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of certain transactions, (b) be exercisable (or become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of FIND Common Stock for which such ESCT Stock Option had been exercisable (for shares of ESCT Common Stock) immediately prior to the Effective Time, adjusted to give effect to the ESCT Common Stock Exchange Ratio (as
 
 
 

 
 
rounded down to the nearest whole share), (c) be exercisable (or become exercisable in accordance with its terms) at a price per share of FIND Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of ESCT Common Stock at which such ESCT Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, adjusted to give effect to the ESCT Common Stock Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent), and (d) be deemed to refer to FIND wherever reference is made to ESCT in and throughout any agreement and/or certificates representing ESCT Stock Options.  No representations or warranties whatsoever are made that any of ESCT Stock Options assumed by FIND hereunder shall qualify following the Effective Time as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent ESCT Stock Options qualified as incentive stock options immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c)           That, as and to the extent required by Merger-Sub’s certificate of incorporation and the Delaware Corporate Law, and as soon as practicable following the date hereof, Merger-Sub shall duly obtain authorization for the Merger from FIND, its sole stockholder, by written consent.
 
 
 

 
 
(d)           The issuance by FIND of the FIND Common Stock to the ESCT Stockholders in exchange for the shares of ESCT Common Stock owned by it, and the other exchanges of ESCT securities for the Merger Securities as provided for in Section 1.3 of this Agreement, shall be qualified for exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, including without limitation delivery to the ESCT Stockholders, prior to the time at which they shall be able to exercise any applicable dissenter’s rights relative to their ownership of ESCT Common Stock, of a private placement memorandum containing disclosure relating to the Transactions, as well as each of FIND, Merger-Sub, and the pro forma combination of FIND and ESCT contemplated by the Merger and the Transactions.

(e)           Any shares of FIND Common Stock which, under Nevada Corporate Law, entitle the holder to appraisal rights (“Dissentable FIND Shares”), and which are held by any holder (a “Dissenting FIND Holder”) who shall have demanded and not lost or withdrawn, or who shall be eligible to demand, appraisal rights with respect to such Dissentable FIND Shares in the manner provided in the Nevada Corporate Law (“Dissenting FIND Shares”) shall represent the right to receive any amounts payable therefor in accordance with applicable Law.  FIND shall give ESCT prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by FIND, withdrawals of such demands, and/or any other communications received by FIND in connection with any demands for appraisal by holders of FIND Common Stock.  Only with the prior written consent of ESCT shall FIND make any payment with respect to any such demands, though FIND shall have the right to control all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal hereunder, including the right to settle any such demands.

(f)           Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, it shall not do anything, and it shall take all reasonable steps to insure that none of its Affiliates do anything, either directly or indirectly, that is intended to, or would, encourage, or that might otherwise result in, any holder of Dissentable FIND Shares becoming a Dissenting FIND Holder.

(g)           It shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken by the FIND Representatives any action necessary for the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(D) and a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the income tax regulations promulgated under the Code, and it shall not take any action that would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code or as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the income tax regulations promulgated under the Code.

(h)           Given the cost that it has determined would likely be involved, it has further determined that the obtaining from a qualified third party firm of a fairness opinion relating to the Merger is not economically justified under the circumstances and will not be pursued.

(i)           If it is to issue any press release relating to this Agreement, it shall be a joint press release with TRC and/or ESCT the text of which shall have been agreed to in writing in advance by TRC and/or ESCT, as applicable. Thereafter, FIND shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the Transactions without the prior written consent of TRC and/or ESCT; provided, however, that FIND may, without such consent, issue such press releases and make such public statements and/or disclosures that it reasonably determines are required under applicable Law, including without limitation the Exchange Act, or the rules of any applicable trading market, quotation service or similar body.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, FIND may make public statements in response to questions from the press, analysts and investors and make internal announcements to employees, so long as such statements and announcements are accurate and not misleading, consistent with previous press releases or public statements made jointly by FIND, on the one hand, and TRC and/or ESCT, on the other, and do not contain forward-looking statements of any kind.

(m)           It shall give prompt notice to TRC and/or ESCT of any fact, event or circumstance known to it (a) that individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, has had or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on FIND, (b) that would cause or constitute a breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein, (c) that would cause the failure of any condition precedent to its obligations under this Agreement, (d) regarding any consent of a third party that is or may be required in connection with the Merger but is not included in the FIND Disclosure Schedule, (e) relating to any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger, or (f) in respect of any Proceedings commenced relating to it that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 7.20; provided, however, that (i) the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 shall not prevent or cure any misrepresentations, breach of warranty or breach of covenant, and (ii) disclosure by FIND pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the FIND Disclosure Schedule, or constitute an exception to any representation or warranty under this Agreement.

(o)           At least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, and pursuant to the Exchange Act Section 14(f), FIND, with the fullest of cooperation and assistance of ESCT applying its reasonable good faith efforts, shall prepare, file with the SEC, and mail to its stockholders an Exchange Act Schedule 14F.

2.1.2           FIND Principal Stockholders.  In connection with the Merger, and without in any way limiting any other acknowledgments, agreements and/or covenants of the FIND Principal Stockholders contained in this Agreement, the FIND Principal Stockholders each covenant and agree to refrain from taking any action, directly or indirectly, that is intended to, would, or that might reasonably be likely to, (i) discourage FIND Stockholders from approving the Merger and/or this Agreement as required under the Nevada Corporate Law and the bylaws of FIND, or (ii) encourage, or that might otherwise result in, any holder of FIND Common Stock becoming a Dissenting FIND Holder.

(c)           Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, it shall not do anything, and it shall take all reasonable steps to insure that none of its Affiliates do anything, either directly or indirectly, that is intended to, or would, encourage, or that might otherwise result in, any holder of Dissentable ESCT Shares becoming a Dissenting ESCT Holder.

(e)           Given the cost that it has determined would likely be involved, it has further determined that the obtaining from a qualified third party firm of a fairness opinion relating to the Merger is not economically justified under the circumstances and will not be pursued.

            2.2           The FIND 14C Merger Information Statement.  FIND and ESCT, as applicable, agree and/or covenant as follows:

(a)           ESCT’s officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel and/or other agents retained by ESCT (“ESCT Representatives”) shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with FIND’s officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel and/or other agents retained by FIND (“FIND Representatives”) in connection with the preparation of any and all information required, as reasonably determined by FIND, to be disclosed pursuant to applicable securities Laws in the FIND 14C Merger Information Statement .  Up until the Effective Time, each of TRC and ESCT shall (i) reasonably avail themselves to FIND regarding the business of ESCT and related matters of relevance to the Merger and/or the FIND 14C Merger Information Statement or any part thereof on an as-requested basis, and provide to FIND all information concerning itself as may be reasonably requested by FIND or its counsel in this regard, (ii) afford to the FIND Representatives reasonable access to the properties (including the offices and facilities) of ESCT, its assets and records in order to obtain any information concerning ESCT’s business as FIND may reasonably request, and (iii) furnish to FIND all such documents and copies of documents and records and information with respect to ESCT as FIND may reasonably request, including without limitation (unless determined by FIND in its exclusive discretion otherwise) complete financial statements as required under the Exchange Act and/or the regulations promulgated thereunder or in connection therewith, including Regulation S-X, which financial statements shall have been fully audited by a PCAOB registered independent auditing firm.  Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 2.3(a) shall require TRC or ESCT to provide any access, or to disclose any information, if permitting such access or disclosing such information would (x) violate applicable Law, (y) violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality (provided, however, that TRC or ESCT, as applicable, shall, upon the request of FIND, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of any third party to such access or disclosure), or (z) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege (provided, however, that TRC or ESCT, as applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege).

(b)           FIND shall give ESCT, its counsel and its independent accountants/auditors a reasonable opportunity to review, comment upon, and propose edits to the FIND 14C Merger Information Statement prior to its initial filing with the SEC, and, also prior to its initial filing of the FIND 14C Merger Information Statement, FIND shall have obtained the written approval of ESCT as to the accuracy and completeness of the information relating to ESCT contained therein, which written approval shall be neither unreasonably delayed nor withheld.

ARTICLE III
 
CERTAIN MERGER-RELATED ADMINISTRATION

3.1           Exchange of Certificates.

(a)           Following the execution hereof, and before or as of the Effective Time, FIND and ESCT shall enter into an agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust or such other transfer agent, bank, trust company or other qualified third party that may be designated by either of FIND or ESCT and is determined to be reasonably satisfactory to the other (the “Exchange Agent”).

(b)           Upon scheduling of the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2.1 of this Agreement, FIND shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares and for exchange in accordance with this Article III through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing (i) the whole shares of FIND Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Agreement (such certificates being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable joint instructions from FIND and ESCT, deliver as appropriate the various certificates for securities to be issued pursuant hereto out of the Exchange Fund.

(c)           As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, FIND shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced Cancelable ESCT Common Shares (i) a letter of transmittal, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such certificates for Cancelable ESCT Common Shares in exchange for certificates evidencing shares of FIND Corporation Common Stock, which instructions shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of FIND Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates representing the shares of FIND Common Stock to the Exchange Agent for use in exchanging the Cancelable ESCT Common Shares for the shares of FIND Common Stock.  Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a certificate representing Cancelable ESCT Common Shares for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be
 
 
 

 
 
reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Cancelable ESCT Common Shares shall be entitled to receive certificates evidencing the shares of FIND Common Stock due to such holder in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Agreement, together with any dividends or distribution to which such holder may otherwise be entitled, and the certificate(s) so surrendered shall immediately be canceled.  Subject to Section 3.1(h) of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall any holder of a certificate representing Cancelable ESCT Common Shares be entitled to receive any shares of FIND Common Stock or certificates evidencing the same until such holder shall have surrendered any and all certificates reflecting the corresponding Cancelable ESCT Common Shares from which such entitlement derives.
 
(d)           In the event of a transfer of ownership of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares which has not been registered in the transfer records of ESCT, the shares of FIND Common Stock into which the Cancelable ESCT Common Shares were converted in the Merger may be delivered by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article III to the Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate is surrendered if (i) the certificate(s) evidencing such Cancelable ESCT Common Shares is/are presented to the Exchange Agent, properly endorsed and accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer, including without limitation an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to FIND that such transfer was effected in compliance with all federal and state securities Laws, and (ii) evidence is presented in form satisfactory to the Exchange Agent that any applicable Taxes have been duly paid, or, if not paid, the Person requesting such issuance pays to the Exchange Agent any and all Taxes required as a result of the issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of the certificate.  Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by this Section 3.1(d), each certificate representing Cancelable ESCT Common Shares shall represent at all times after the Effective Time solely the right to receive, upon such surrender or transfer, in accordance with the terms hereof, shares of FIND Common Stock, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of this Agreement.

(e)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the shares of FIND Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate(s) evidencing Cancelable ESCT Common Shares until the holder of such Cancelable ESCT Common Shares shall surrender such certificate(s) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 3.1(c).  Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such certificate(s) reflecting Cancelable ESCT Common Shares, there shall be paid to the holder of such certificate(s), in addition to the shares of FIND Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Agreement, without interest, the corresponding amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to any of such shares of FIND Common Stock, less the amount of any withholding Taxes which may be required thereon.  No holder of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares shall be entitled, until the surrender of any certificate for any such Cancelable ESCT Common Shares, to vote any shares of FIND Common Stock which such holder shall have the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Agreement.

(f)           All shares of FIND Common Stock issued upon conversion of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Agreement, and any cash paid or other distributions made pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been issued or paid, respectively, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Cancelable ESCT Common Shares.  From and after the Effective Time, holders of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Cancelable ESCT Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.
 
 
 

 
 
(g)           Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to FIND, and, subject to Section 3.1(h), any holders of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares which have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.1 shall thereafter look only to FIND for the shares of FIND Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions to which they are entitled.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of FIND free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.  To the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither FIND, ESCT, nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holders of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares for any shares, cash or other property delivered from the Exchange Fund to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(h)           If any certificate representing Cancelable ESCT Common Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the party claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by FIND and/or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such party of a bond, in such reasonable amount as FIND and/or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate and the amount of any fee charged by the Exchange Agent for such service, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the shares of FIND Common Stock, together with any unpaid dividends and distributions deliverable in respect thereof.
 
 
3.2           Withholding.  Each of the Exchange Agent and FIND, either for its own account or as successor-in-interest to ESCT, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares, Dissenting FIND Shares, or Dissenting ESCT Shares 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 applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or FIND, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares, Dissenting FIND Shares, or Dissenting ESCT Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or FIND, as the case may be.

3.3           Stock Transfer Books.  As soon as practicable immediately preceding the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of each of FIND and ESCT shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Cancelable ESCT Common Shares thereafter on the records of either FIND or ESCT.  As of or after the Effective Time, any certificates reflecting Cancelable ESCT Common Shares presented to the Exchange Agent for any reason shall carry only those rights as expressly stated in this Article III.

(iii)           The ESCT and its Subsidiaries have taken all actions customary in the Software industry to document ESCT-Owned Software and its operation, such that the materials comprising ESCT-Owned Software, including the source code and documentation, have been written in a clear and professional manner so that they may be understood, modified and maintained in an efficient manner by reasonably competent programmers.

(iv)           Neither ESCT nor any of its Subsidiaries has exported or transmitted Software or other material in connection with ESCT’s or such Subsidiaries’ business to any country to which such export or transmission is restricted by any applicable Law, without first having obtained all necessary and appropriate Authorizations.

(c)           None of FIND, any Subsidiary of FIND, any FIND ERISA Affiliate or any trustee or agent of any FIND Benefit Plan has been or is currently engaged in any prohibited transactions as defined by Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code for which an exemption is not applicable which could subject FIND, any Subsidiary of FIND, any FIND ERISA Affiliate or any trustee or agent of any FIND Benefit Plan to the tax or penalty imposed by Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

(d)           There is no event or condition existing which could be deemed a reportable event (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA) with respect to which the thirty (30)-day notice requirement has not been waived.  To FIND’s Knowledge, no condition exists which could subject FIND or any of its Subsidiaries to a penalty under Section 4071 of ERISA.

(g)           With respect to each FIND Benefit Plan, there are no Proceedings (other than routine claims for benefits in the ordinary course) pending or, to FIND’s Knowledge, threatened against any FIND Benefit Plan, FIND, any Subsidiary of FIND, any FIND ERISA Affiliate or any trustee or agent of any FIND Benefit Plan.

(h)           With respect to each FIND Benefit Plan to which FIND, any Subsidiary of FIND or any FIND ERISA Affiliate is a party which constitutes a group health plan subject to Section 4980B of the Code, each such FIND Benefit Plan complies, and in each case has complied, in all material respects with all applicable requirements of Section 4980B of the Code.

(i)            Full payment has been made of all amounts which FIND, any Subsidiary of FIND or any FIND ERISA Affiliate was required to have paid as a contribution to any FIND Benefit Plan as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of each of the Benefit Plans ended prior to the date of this Agreement, and no FIND Benefit Plan has incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of each such FIND Benefit Plan ended prior to the date of this Agreement.

 
 

 
 
(j)           Each FIND Benefit Plan is, and its administration is and has been during the six-year period preceding the date of this Agreement, in all material respects in compliance with, and none of FIND, any Subsidiary of FIND or any FIND ERISA Affiliate has received any claim or notice that any such FIND Benefit Plan is not in material compliance with, all applicable Laws and Orders and prohibited transaction exemptions, including to the extent applicable, the requirements of ERISA.

(k)           None of FIND, any Subsidiary of FIND and any FIND ERISA Affiliate is in default in any material respect in performing any of its contractual obligations under any FIND Benefit Plans or any related trust agreement or insurance contract.

(l)           There are no material outstanding Liabilities of any FIND Benefit Plan other than Liabilities for benefits to be paid to participants in any FIND Benefit Plan and their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of such FIND Benefit Plan.

(m)           Subject to ERISA and the Code, each FIND Benefit Plan may be amended, modified, terminated or otherwise discontinued by FIND, a Subsidiary of FIND or a FIND ERISA Affiliate at any time without liability.

(n)           No FIND Benefit Plan other than a FIND Pension Plan, retiree medical plan or severance plan provides benefits to any individual after termination of employment.

(r)           Section 7.21(r) of the FIND Disclosure Schedule sets forth all FIND Benefit Plans covering employees of FIND or any of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States (the FIND Foreign Plans).  The FIND Foreign Plans have been operated in accordance, and are in compliance, in all material respects with their constituent documents and all applicable Laws.  There are no material unfunded Liabilities under or in respect of any FIND Foreign Plans, and all contributions or other payments required to be made to or in respect of FIND Foreign Plans prior to the Closing Date have been made or will be made prior to the Closing Date.
