The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assume and assign the Assumed Contracts and other Purchased Assets to Buyer (including payment by the

Sellers of any Cure Costs that are not the responsibility of Buyer to pay pursuant to Section 1.5(b)), including using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate any negotiations with the counterparties to such Assumed Contracts and to obtain an order (which shall be the Approval Order) containing a finding that the proposed assignment to and assumption of the Assumed Contracts by Buyer satisfied all applicable requirements of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)

At the Closing (i) the Sellers shall, pursuant to the Approval Order and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption of Lease, as applicable, assume and assign to Buyer (the consideration of which is included in the Final Purchase Price) each of the Assumed Contracts that is capable of being assumed and assigned and (ii) Buyer shall pay (x) all Cure Costs (if any) specified by the Sellers on the Estimated Closing Statement to the extent taken into account as a Current Liability in the calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital and (y) any additional Cure Costs up to the Cure Costs Cap, in each case in connection with such assumption and assignment and assume and discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities (if any) under the Assumed Contracts, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption of Lease.  Following the Closing, the Buyer shall pay any Cure Costs not paid at the Closing to the extent such Cure Costs are included as a Current Liability in the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.8), and any additional Cure Costs (including any Cure Costs paid pursuant to clause (ii)(y) above) up to the Cure Costs Cap, and the Sellers shall pay and be solely responsible for any such additional Cure Costs in excess of the Cure Costs Cap.

(c)

 Except as to Assumed Contracts assigned pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Approval Order, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Purchased Asset or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or the Sellers thereunder, and the Sellers, at Buyer’s expense, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible.  If such consent is not obtained or such assignment is not attainable pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Approval Order, or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, then the Sellers, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, shall act after the Closing, at Buyer’s request, as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer.  No Seller may agree to pay any amount to obtain any consent of a third party without Buyer’s prior approval.  All obligations of the Sellers under this Section 1.5(c) shall expire on the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date.

(c)

No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”).  The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, as applied in a manner consistent with the accounting methods, policies, categorizations, definitions, principles, practices, techniques and procedures that are specified in the calculation of Net Working Capital as of June 30, 2016 set forth in Exhibit J (with the amounts included therein being for illustrative purposes only), but shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the Closing.

(d)

If at the end of the Resolution Period the Sellers and Buyer have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Objection, the Sellers and Buyer shall refer all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Objection (the “Unresolved Matters”) to Ernst & Young (or if such firm is unable or unwilling to accept such engagement, an internationally recognized independent public accounting firm that has not provided material services to either Buyer or any of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates in the preceding three (3) years as jointly selected by the Sellers and Buyer or, if the Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree within five (5) Business Days from the end of the Resolution Period, then such internationally recognized independent public accounting firm jointly selected by the Sellers’ and Buyer’s independent accountants within five (5) Business Days thereafter) (such firm, as finally selected, the “Accounting Firm”).  The Sellers and Buyer each agree to promptly sign an engagement letter, in commercially reasonable form, as may reasonably be required by the Accounting Firm.  Each of Buyer and the Sellers shall submit to the Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within ten (10) Business Days after the date of the engagement of the Accounting Firm, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions with respect to the Unresolved Matters.  Each of Buyer and the Sellers may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within ten (10) Business Days after the date of the engagement of the Accounting Firm, a memorandum responding to the initial memorandum submitted to the Accounting Firm by the other party.  Unless requested by the Accounting Firm in writing, no party hereto may present any additional information or arguments to the Accounting Firm, either orally or in writing.  None of the Sellers, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Accounting Firm regarding the subject matter hereof without the other party’s prior written consent.  The Accounting Firm shall be given reasonable access to all relevant records of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to calculate the Closing Statement.  The Accounting Firm shall act as an arbitrator and not as an expert to calculate, based solely on the written submissions of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, and only with respect to the Unresolved Matters submitted and without independent investigation, whether and to what extent the Closing Statement requires adjustments and shall be instructed that its calculation (A) must be made in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Exhibit J, without regard to principles of equity, and (B) with respect to each Unresolved Matter, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by the Sellers in the Objection and by Buyer in the Closing Statement.  The Sellers and Buyer shall request the Accounting Firm to (i) submit its final written determination to the Sellers and Buyer as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) Business Days after the Accounting

Firm’s engagement, and (ii) prepare the Final Closing Statement (which shall be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Firm of the Unresolved Matters) and calculate the Final Purchase Price based on such Final Closing Statement.  The Accounting Firm’s final written determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and Buyer.  The “Final Closing Statement” shall be (i) in the event that no Objection is delivered by the Sellers to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.8(a), (ii) in the event that an Objection is delivered by the Sellers to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.8(a) as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of the Sellers and Buyer in writing or (iii) in the event that an Objection is delivered by the Sellers to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period and the Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Objection, the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.8(a) as adjusted by the Accounting Firm to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Firm of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with this Section 1.8(d).  In the event the Final Closing Statement is determined (x) pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall prepare the Final Closing Statement and calculate the Final Purchase Price, in each case, in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and deliver such items to the Sellers within three (3) Business Days following the determination thereof or (y) pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Accounting Firm shall prepare the Final Closing Statement (which shall be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Accounting Firm of the Unresolved Matters) and calculate the Final Purchase Price based on the Final Closing Statement, in each case, in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and deliver such items to the Sellers and Buyer within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the final written determination of the Accounting Firm to the Sellers and Buyer.  The date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined and delivered in accordance with this Section 1.8(d) is hereinafter referred to as the “Eligibility Date”.  

(e)

Buyer and the Sellers agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 1.8 for resolving disputes with respect to the calculation of the Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit any party from instituting litigation to enforce any decision pursuant to the terms hereof by the Accounting Firm in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The substance of the Accounting Firm’s determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent a showing of fraud.  It is the intent of the Parties to have any determination of Unresolved Matters by the Accounting Firm proceed in an expeditious manner; provided, however, any deadline or time period contained herein may be extended or modified by agreement of the Parties, and the Parties agree that the failure of the Accounting Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Accounting Firm.  Any fees and expenses relating to the engagement of the Accounting Firm in respect of its services pursuant to this Section 1.8 shall be shared by the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, so that the Sellers’ share of such fees and expenses shall be in the same proportion that the aggregate amount that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers bears to the total amount initially disputed by the Sellers.

(h)

For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing and until the payment of any Final Purchase Price Increase Amount or Final Purchase Price Reduction Amount (as applicable) in accordance with Section 1.8(g), none of the Sellers shall liquidate or dissolve.

Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, pay (i) bonuses to each Transferred Employee, at the same time that Buyer pays bonuses to its other employees, with respect to the portion of the calendar year 2016 elapsed prior to the Closing in an amount that is equal to the amount of accrued bonuses taken into account as a Current Liability in the determination of Net Working Capital, and (ii) amounts of accrued vacation or paid time off attributable to each Transferred Employee’s employment or other service with Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date as such vacation and time off is taken by each respective Transferred Employee, to the extent such amounts have been taken into account as a Current Liability in the determination of Net Working Capital.

(e)

Except as prohibited by applicable Law, Sellers shall provide to Buyer all information reasonably necessary to permit Buyer to perform its obligations under this Section 6.5, including such information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer following the Closing, and Seller’s agreement to provide such information shall survive the Closing for so long as Buyer remains obligated to perform under this Section 6.5.

(g)

Nothing contained in this Section 6.5, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Service Provider any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other

modification of any New Plan or Seller Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement.  Further, this Section 6.5 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.5, express or implied, is intended to create or confer upon any other Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Service Provider) any rights, benefits, liabilities, obligations or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.5.

Insurance
