7

(i)Amendment to Section 5.04. Section 5.04 (Employees and Employee Benefits) is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:

Section 5.04. Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a)Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, offer employment to be effective on the later of the Closing Date or the date that is thirty (30) days following the Site Lease Transition Date (such date, the “Employment Transition Date”) to no less than forty (40) Site Employees on terms with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by Seller immediately prior to the Employment Transition Date; (ii) target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which are no less than the target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by Seller immediately prior to the Employment Transition Date; and (iii) retirement and welfare benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by Seller immediately prior to the Employment Transition Date, (the Site Employees who accept such employment and commence employment on the Employment Transition Date, the “Transferred Employees”).  Seller shall terminate the employment of such Transferred Employees who accept offers prior to the Employment Transition Date effective as of immediately prior to the Employment Transition Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence does not require release of the Transferred Employees from covenants relating to restrictions on solicitation of employees or noninterference with client relationships that are unrelated to the Transferred Operations.

8


(b)Seller shall notify Buyer prior to the Employment Transition Date of any layoffs or terminations of any Seller employees in the 90-day period prior to Employment Transition Date and Buyer shall notify Seller after the Employment Transition Date of any layoffs or terminations of any Transferred Employees in the 90-day period after the Employment Transition Date.

Buyer shall not take any action that would cause any termination of employment of any Transferred Employee by Seller that occurs on or before the Employment Transition Date to constitute a portion of a covered “plant closing” or “mass layoff” under the WARN Act or any other similar statute or to create any liability to Seller for any employment terminations under applicable law.

(c)Buyer and Seller intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Site Employee who accepts an employment offer by Buyer that is consistent with the requirements of Section 5.04(a), including for purposes of any Plan that provides for separation, termination or severance benefits, and that each such Site Employee will have continuous employment immediately before and immediately after the Employment Transition Date.

(d)Seller shall be solely responsible, and Buyer shall have no obligations whatsoever for any period relating to the services of all current and former Site Employees at any time on or prior to the Employment Transition Date, any compensation or other amounts payable to any current or former Site Employee, including, without limitation, hourly pay, commission, bonus, salary, accrued vacation, fringe, pension or profit sharing benefits or severance pay.

(e)This Section 5.04 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.04, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.04. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.04 shall not create any right in any Transferred Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

9


(j)Amendment to Section 5.11. Section 5.11 is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:

From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware after the date hereof (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Except with respect to any Schedule Supplement disclosures related to the absence of the Landlord’s consent to the Site Lease Transition as of the Closing, any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a) have been satisfied.

(k)Amendment to Section 5.12. Section 5.12 is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:

(a) Within three (3) Business Days following receipt of Landlord’s notification to Buyer or Seller that Landlord has agreed to (i) an assignment and assumption agreement, in substantially the same form as attached hereto as Exhibit E, duly executed by Seller or (ii) a new lease agreement by and between Buyer and Landlord with respect to the Site on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Buyer (collectively, the “Site Lease Transition”), duly executed by Landlord, Buyer and Seller shall confirm in writing that the Site Lease Transition has been completed to Buyer’s and Seller’s mutual satisfaction (the date of such mutual written confirmation, the “Site Lease Transition Date”).

(b) The parties shall use their best efforts to obtain a full unconditional release related to the Site Lease in favor of Seller in connection with the Site Lease Transition; provided, however, if as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Seller remains liable on the Site Lease and does not obtain a full unconditional release related to the Site Lease and existing letter of credit, the parties shall enter into a separate mutual indemnification agreement in favor of Seller for any Damages related to the Site Lease and occurring on or after the Site Lease Transition Date, and in favor of Buyer for any Damages related to the Site Lease and occurring before the Site Lease Transition Date.

(c) If the Site Lease Transition has not occurred within one hundred and twenty (120) days following Closing, for so long as the Site Lease Transition has not been completed, by delivering written notice to Seller (“Repurchase Notice”) Buyer may indicate its intention to enter into good

10


faith negotiations to provide for Seller to repurchase the Transferred Assets, reassume the Assumed Liabilities, and resume all Transferred Operations (“Repurchase Transaction”) for a repurchase price (“Repurchase Price”)  equal to the  Purchase Price actually paid by Buyer as of the repurchase date (“Repurchase Date”), and any Restricted Period applicable to the parties shall cease as of the closing of any such Repurchase Transaction on the Repurchase Date.  Upon receipt of a Repurchase Notice, Buyer and Seller hereby agree to each use their best commercial efforts to negotiate in good faith the terms of any such Repurchase Transaction.

(d) In the event of a dispute with respect to the Repurchase Price, notwithstanding such good faith effort by Buyer and Seller to resolve such dispute within ten days after Seller notifies Buyer of its objection, then such dispute shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 5.09(c) and (d).

(n)Amendment to Section 6.02. Section 6.02 is hereby amended to include a new clause Section 6.02(g):

Section 6.02(g).  Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary, Buyer agrees that the absence of the Landlord’s approval and consent to the Site Lease Transition as of the Closing Date shall not be a condition to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at or prior to Closing or a breach with respect to the representations and warranties (including the Seller Specified Representations) or covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement and that such absence shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(p)Amendment to Section 8.01(b). Section 8.01(b) is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:

Section 8.01(b). by Buyer by written notice to Seller if:
