4. Term and Termination.

Section 4.1. Term of Agreement. The term of this Option Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and continue until the expiration of the Option Period (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the other provisions of this Option Agreement.

Section 4.2. Termination. This Option Agreement may (at the option of the Party having the right to do so or by operation of this Option Agreement) be terminated at any time on or prior to the exercise of the Option for any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms. For purposes of this Option Agreement, references to any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement or similar phrases shall be interpreted to assume for such purposes that the Purchase Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Parties as of the date of this Option Agreement.

Section 4.3. Procedure and Effect of Termination. If this Option Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Parties to this Agreement and all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that the Parties shall, in all events, remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 4.

Section 4.4. Breach by Sellers. If termination of this Agreement is due solely to a material breach by Sellers that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(i) thereof, Purchaser shall thereupon, as its sole and exclusive remedy, immediately be entitled to payment of the Expense Reimbursement Amount, which amount shall be paid to Purchaser within three (3) days following its delivery to Sellers of its documented costs, fees and expenses. Sellers’ obligation to pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall survive termination of this Option Agreement and shall constitute an administrative expense of Sellers under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Section 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 4.5. Breach by Purchaser. If termination of this Agreement is due solely to a material breach by Purchaser that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(d) thereof, Sellers, as their sole remedy, shall be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000,000, which shall be payable by Purchaser by the forgiveness of Prepetition Credit Agreement Indebtedness. The Parties hereby agree that the foregoing dollar amount is a fair and reasonable estimate of the total detriment that Sellers would suffer in the event of Purchaser’s default and failure to complete the transaction hereunder.

Section 4.6. Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement Amount.

(a) In consideration of Purchaser and its Affiliates granting the Option hereunder and having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Option Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the negotiation hereof and thereof, and the identification and quantification of assets to be included in the Acquired Assets, and to compensate the Purchaser as a stalking-horse bidder, Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay in cash to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Purchaser to Sellers in writing, an amount equal to $5,250,000, which is three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (the “Break-Up Fee”), (x) in the event that this Option Agreement is terminated for any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(iii) or Section 11.1(b)(iv) of the Purchaser Agreement or (y) in the event that (1) this Option Agreement is otherwise terminated for any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement or for any of Section 11.1(c)(ii) through Section 11.1(c)(xii) of the Purchase Agreement (other than a termination for any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(vi) of the Purchase Agreement resulting from a conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to chapter 7 pursuant to a motion brought by a party in interest other than Sellers, and (2) a Seller enters into any agreement or process with respect to an Alternative Transaction within nine (9) months after such termination of this Option Agreement which results in an Alternative Transaction being consummated; (A) such Break-Up Fee shall be due and payable simultaneously with any termination of this Agreement, in the case of the foregoing clause (x) and (B) fifty percent (50%) of such Break-Up Fee shall be due and payable simultaneously with the consummation of the Alternative Transaction in the case of the foregoing clause (y). Sellers’ obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee pursuant to this Section shall survive termination of this Option Agreement and shall constitute an administrative expense of Sellers under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Section 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) In consideration of Purchaser and its Affiliates granting the Option hereunder and having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Option Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the negotiation hereof and thereof, and the identification and quantification of assets to be included in the Acquired Assets, if this Option Agreement is terminated for any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 11.1 thereof (other than any termination for any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(a), Section 11.1(b)(i), Section 11.1(c)(xiv), Section 11.1(c)(xvi) or Section 11.1(d) thereof), then Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay to Purchaser in cash not later than (i) in the case of a termination for any reason that would permit termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(iv), the closing of an Alternative Transaction and (ii) two (2) Business Days following receipt of documentation supporting the request for reimbursement of costs, fees and expenses, the Expense Reimbursement Amount, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Purchaser to Sellers in writing. Sellers’ obligation to pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount pursuant to this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall constitute an administrative expense of Sellers under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Section 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Sellers agree and acknowledge that the Purchaser’s due diligence, efforts, negotiation, and execution of this Option Agreement and the Purchase Agreement have involved substantial investment of management time and have required significant commitment of financial, legal, and other resources by Purchaser and its Affiliates, and that such due diligence, efforts, negotiation, and execution have provided value to Sellers and, in Sellers’ reasonable business judgment, is necessary for the preservation of the value of Sellers’ estate. Sellers further agree and acknowledge that the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement Amount are reasonable in relation to Purchaser’s efforts, Purchaser’s lost opportunities from pursuing this transaction, and the magnitude of the transactions contemplated hereby. The provision of the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement Amount is an integral part of this Agreement, without which Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement. Sellers’ obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement Amount shall be joint and several among Sellers.

(d) If Sellers fail to take any action necessary to cause the delivery of the Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount under circumstances where Purchaser is entitled to the Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount and, in order to obtain such Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount, Purchaser commences a suit which results in a judgment in favor of Purchaser, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser, in addition to the Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount, an amount of cash equal to the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Purchaser in connection with such suit.

Except as provided in Section 2.4, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser shall be responsible for all Liabilities and obligations relating to Purchaser's ownership or use of, or right to use, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities after the Closing Date, including all Taxes arising out of or related to the Acquired Assets or the operation or conduct of the Business acquired pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax periods beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

Assumption/Rejection of Certain Contracts.

Assignment and Assumption at Closing.

Schedule 2.6(a) sets forth a list of all executory Contracts (including all Leases) to which any Seller is party as of the Initial Date. Schedule 2.6(a) shall set forth with respect to each Contract listed therein Sellers' good-faith estimate of the Cure Amount as of the Initial Date. Until two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, Sellers shall make such deletions to Schedule 2.6(a) as Purchaser shall, in its sole discretion, request in writing. Any such deleted Contract shall be deemed to no longer be an Assigned Contract. All Contracts of Sellers that are not listed on Schedule 2.6(a) as of the Closing Date shall not be considered an Assigned Contract or Acquired Asset and shall be deemed "Rejected Contracts."

Sellers shall take all actions required to assume and assign the Assigned Contracts to Purchaser (other than payment of the Cure Amount, which Cure Amount constitutes an Assumed Liability), including taking all actions required to facilitate any negotiations with the counterparties to such Assigned Contracts and to obtain an Order containing a finding that the proposed assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts to Purchaser satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Prior to the Sale Hearing, Sellers shall commence appropriate proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court and otherwise take all reasonably necessary actions in order to determine the Cure Amount with respect to any Assigned Contract entered into prior to the Petition Date, including the right to negotiate in good faith and litigate, if necessary, with any Contract counterparty the Cure Amount needed to cure all monetary defaults under such Assigned Contract.

At Closing, (x) Sellers shall, pursuant to the Sale Order and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption of Leases, as applicable, assume and assign to Purchaser (the consideration for which is included in the Purchase Price) each of the Assigned Contracts that is capable of being assumed and assigned, and (y) Purchaser shall pay promptly the Cure Amount (if any), in connection with such assumption and assignment (as agreed to among the various counterparties, Purchaser and Sellers, or as determined by the Bankruptcy Court) and assume and perform and discharge the Assumed Liabilities (if any) under the Assigned Contracts, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption of Leases, as applicable.

Purchaser may request, in its reasonable business judgment, certain modifications and amendments to any Contract as a condition to such Contract becoming an Assigned Contract, and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such modifications or amendments. If Sellers are unable to obtain such modifications or amendments, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, designate the Contract as a Rejected Contract.

Previously Omitted Contracts.

If prior to Closing, (A) it is discovered that a Contract should have been listed on Schedule 2.6(a) but was not listed on Schedule 2.6(a), (B) a Contract is entered into after the Initial Date that would have been listed on Schedule 2.6(a) if any Seller had entered into such Contract on or before the Initial Date or (C) if Purchaser desires in its sole discretion to acquire any Contract to which any Seller is party (including any Rejected Contract prior to the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order with respect thereto) (any such Contract, a "Previously Omitted Contract"), Sellers shall, promptly following the discovery thereof or receipt of notice from Purchaser of its desire to acquire any such Contract (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the discovery thereof or receipt of such notice), notify Purchaser in writing of such Previously Omitted Contract and any Cure Amount for such Previously Omitted Contract. Purchaser shall thereafter deliver written notice to Sellers, no later than five (5) Business Days following notification of such Previously Omitted Contract from Sellers, designating such Previously Omitted Contract as "Assumed" or "Rejected" (a "Previously Omitted Contract Designation"). A Previously Omitted Contract designated in accordance with this Section 2.6(b)(i) as "Rejected," or with respect to which Purchaser fails to timely deliver a Previously Omitted Contract Designation, shall be a Rejected Contract.

If Purchaser designates a Previously Omitted Contract as "Assumed" in accordance with Section 2.6(b)(i), (i) Schedule 2.6(a) shall be amended to include such Previously Omitted Contract and (ii) Sellers shall serve a notice (the "Previously Omitted Contract Notice") on the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract notifying such counterparties of the Cure Amount with respect to such Previously Omitted Contract and Sellers' intention to assume and assign such Previously Omitted Contract in accordance with this Section 2.6. The Previously Omitted Contract Notice shall provide the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract with seven (7) days to object, in writing to Sellers and Purchaser, to the Cure Amount or the assumption of its Contract. If the counterparties, Sellers and Purchaser are unable to reach a consensual resolution with respect to the objection, Sellers will seek an expedited hearing before Bankruptcy Court to determine the Cure Amount required to be paid (to the extent disputed) and approve the assumption. If no objection is timely served on Sellers and Purchaser, Sellers shall obtain an order of the Bankruptcy Court fixing the Cure Amount at the amount set forth in the Previously Omitted Contract Notice and approving the assumption of the Previously Omitted Contract.

Post-Petition Contracts. Schedule 2.6(c) sets forth a list of all Contracts to which to Sellers' Knowledge, any Seller is party and which were entered into following the Petition Date. Such Contracts shall be subject to assignment in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.6.

Disclaimer. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED HEREUNDER, SELLERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER RELATING TO THE ACQUIRED ASSETS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, PURCHASER AND SELLERS HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AS TO ANY PORTION OF THE ACQUIRED ASSETS. PURCHASER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER HAS CONDUCTED AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF THE CONDITION OF THE ACQUIRED ASSETS AND ALL SUCH OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO OR AFFECTING THE ACQUIRED ASSETS AS PURCHASER DEEMED NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE AND THAT IN PROCEEDING WITH ITS ACQUISITION OF THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, EXCEPT FOR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED HEREUNDER, PURCHASER IS DOING SO BASED SOLELY UPON SUCH INDEPENDENT INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS.

PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT

Purchase Price.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of the sale of the Acquired Assets pursuant to the terms hereof, Purchaser shall (i) credit the amount of principal due under the Loans (as defined in clause (a) of the definition of Prepetition Credit Agreements) due under the Prepetition Credit Agreements, pursuant to a credit bid in the amount of one hundred and seventy five million Dollars ($175,000,000) by Purchaser, in its capacity as Prepetition Secured Lender and (ii) credit an amount up to the amount outstanding under the DIP Facility at Closing, pursuant to a credit bid by Purchaser in its capacity as DIP Lender; provided, that the portion of the Loans that is not credit bid as part of the Purchase Price shall remain a Claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, (iii) assume from Sellers and become obligated to pay, perform and discharge, when due, the Assumed Liabilities, (iv) pay to Sellers an amount of cash equal to the amount outstanding under the DIP Facility at Closing (after taking into account any credit bid) (the "Cash Component") (such Cash Component to be decreased dollar for dollar to the extent any amount of the DIP Facility is credit bid) and (v) a cash payment to Orchids of five hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000) at the Closing (the "Wind-Down Payment"), which shall be deposited into a segregated Orchids bank account (the "Wind-Down Account") for distribution therefrom solely in accordance with Section 6.20, ((i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) collectively, the "Purchase Price").

To the extent any of the Cash Component of the Purchase Price will be paid to a Prepetition Secured Lender under the Prepetition Credit Agreements or a DIP Lender under the DIP Credit Agreement, Purchaser may deduct from the Cash Component of the Purchase Price and be deemed as having paid to Sellers such amount as otherwise would have been distributed in cash to the Prepetition Secured Lender(s) and/or under the DIP Lender(s), and the respective Loans and Claims held by the Prepetition Secured Lender(s) and the DIP Lender(s) shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar on account of the Cash Component each such lender is deemed to have received. In the event of a dispute over the obligations owed to a Prepetition Secured Lender under the Prepetition Credit Agreements or a DIP Lender under the DIP Credit Agreement, Purchaser shall have no obligation to otherwise fund the Cash Component of the Purchase Price with cash relating to such amount that would be paid on account thereof until final resolution of any and all disputes over such obligations owed to such lender under the Prepetition Credit Agreements or the DIP Credit Agreement, as applicable.

Any Cash Component of the Purchase Price or other payment required to be made pursuant to any other provision hereof shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the applicable Party at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such payment is to be made.

Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing and without further consideration, (a) Sellers, upon the request of Purchaser and at Sellers' expense, shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments of conveyance and transfer as Purchaser may reasonably request in order to consummate more effectively the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets as contemplated hereby and to vest in Purchaser title to the Acquired Assets transferred hereunder, provided that (i) Sellers shall not be required to execute or deliver any document or instrument pursuant to this Section 3.2 which includes any provision(s) which impose(s) obligations upon Sellers which are greater than those imposed upon Sellers under the other provisions of this Agreement or the documents executed pursuant hereto and (ii) in no event shall Sellers be required to incur any material cost or expense in the performance of its obligations under this Section 3.2 (it being understood that Purchaser shall in any event be entitled to require Sellers to take such action as Sellers would otherwise be required to take pursuant to this Section 3.2 but for the cost thereof by providing to Sellers the amount Sellers reasonably anticipate incurring in excess of immaterial costs and expenses of taking such action), and (b) Purchaser, upon the request of Sellers and at Purchaser's expense, shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments of assumption as Sellers may reasonably request in order to confirm Purchaser's liability for the obligations under the Assumed Liabilities or otherwise more fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that (i) Purchaser shall not be required to execute or deliver any document or instrument pursuant to this Section 3.2 which includes any provision(s) which impose(s) obligations upon Purchaser which are greater than those imposed upon Purchaser under the other provisions of this Agreement or the documents executed pursuant hereto, and (ii) in no event shall Purchaser be required to incur any material cost or expense in the performance of its obligations under this Section 3.2 (it being understood that notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall in any event be entitled to require Purchaser to take such action as Purchaser would otherwise be required to take pursuant to this Section 3.2 but for the cost thereof by providing to Purchaser the amounts Purchaser reasonably anticipates incurring in excess of immaterial costs and expenses in taking the action).

Brokers and Finders. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.4, no Person has acted, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or financial advisor for Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Purchaser is not and will not become obligated to pay any fee or commission or like payment to any broker, finder or financial advisor as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon any arrangement made by or on behalf of Sellers.

Title to Acquired Assets. Subject to Permitted Encumbrances, Sellers have good and valid title to (or with respect to the Leased Real Property and the personal property subject to the Personal Property Leases, valid leasehold interests in) the Acquired Assets and, at the Closing, Purchaser, pursuant to the Sale Order, shall acquire good and marketable title to, and under all of such Acquired Assets, in each case, free and clear of all Encumbrances. The Acquired Assets include all of the properties and assets required to operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business. For the sake of clarity, the right to use any assets included in the Acquired Assets in which Sellers have leasehold or non-ownership rights to use shall be assigned to Purchaser through the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts (or assignment and assumption of Assumed Leased Real Property) in accordance with and subject to this Agreement.

Real Property.

Schedule 4.6(a) contains a list and brief description of all Leased Real Property and of all leases, subleases or similar use or occupancy agreements with respect to such Leased Real Property, together with all amendments thereto and all related guaranties (individually, a "Lease" and collectively, the "Leases"). Sellers have made available to Purchaser true and complete copies of each of the Leases. Other than as set forth on Schedule 4.6(a), Sellers are not, and to Sellers' Knowledge no other party to a Lease is, in breach of any material term or in "default" under any Lease and no party to any Lease has given Sellers written notice of or made a claim with respect to any breach or default thereunder. There are no conditions that currently exist or, with the giving of notice or passage of time, will (i) result in a default or breach of any material term by any Sellers, or to Sellers' Knowledge, any other party, under a Lease or (ii) give rise to the right of the lessor under any Lease to accelerate the obligations thereunder or modify the terms thereof. Other than as noted on Schedule 4.6(a), none of the Leased Real Property is subject to any sublease or grant to any Person by Sellers of any right to the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Leased Real Property or any portion thereof. To Sellers' Knowledge, the Leased Real Property is not subject to any Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. To Sellers' Knowledge, the Leased Real Property is not subject to any use restrictions, exceptions, reservations or limitations which in any material respect interfere with or impair the present and continued use thereof in the Ordinary Course of Business. To Sellers' Knowledge, there are no pending or threatened condemnation proceedings or other Actions relating to any of the Leased Real Property. The Leases with respect to the Assumed Leased Real Property are, and after Closing will continue to be, legal, valid, binding, and enforceable on Sellers and in full force and effect on the same material terms as immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Schedule 4.6(b) sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all real property owned by any Seller which is related to, used, useful or held for use in the conduct of the Business (the "Owned Real Property" and together with the Leased Real Property, the "Real Property"), specifying the street address, the current owner and the current use of each parcel of Owned Real Property. Sellers have good and marketable title to the Owned Real Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Other than as noted on Schedule 4.6(b), none of the Owned Real Property is subject to any lease or grant to any Person of any right to the use, purchase, occupancy or enjoyment of such Owned Real Property or any portion thereof. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, the Owned Real Property is not subject to any Encumbrances or to any use restrictions, exceptions, reservations or limitations, which in any material respect interfere with or impair the present and continued use thereof in the Ordinary Course of Business and in the same manner after the Closing as conducted by Sellers prior to Closing. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(b), there are no pending or, to Sellers' Knowledge, threatened (i) condemnation proceedings or other Actions relating to any of the Owned Real Property, (ii) Actions to change the zoning classification of any portion of the Real Property or (iii) impositions by any Governmental Body of any special assessments affecting the Real Property. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(b), the present uses of the Real Property by Sellers are in compliance, in all material respects, with all building, zoning, land use, public health, public safety, sewage, water, sanitation or other comparable Laws.

The Real Property is all of the real property that required to operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business.

Tangible Personal Property. Schedule 4.7 sets forth all leases of personal property ("Personal Property Leases") relating to personal property used by Sellers or to which any Seller is a party or by which the properties or assets of any Seller are bound, in each case, relating to the Business. Sellers have a good and valid title to, or a valid and enforceable leasehold interest in (under each such Personal Property Lease under which it is a lessee), all personal property used by Sellers relating to the Business, in each case, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

Intellectual Property. Schedule 4.8(a) sets forth an accurate and complete list of all registered and applied-for Intellectual Property owned by Sellers and used or held for use in the Business (the "Purchased Intellectual Property"). Sellers own all right, title and interest to the Purchased Intellectual Property, and, at Closing, will convey the Purchased Intellectual Property to Purchaser free and clear of Encumbrances pursuant to the Sale Order. To Sellers' Knowledge, (i) no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes, dilutes, misappropriates or violates any Purchased Intellectual Property and (ii) no claim has been asserted to any Seller that the use of any Purchased Intellectual Property or the operation of the Business infringes, dilutes, misappropriates or violates the Intellectual Property of any third party. The Purchased Intellectual Property and the rights under the Assigned Contracts include the rights to use all Intellectual Property required to operate the Business as currently conducted.

Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9 and other than in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, there is no Action, including appeals and applications for review, in progress, pending or, to Sellers' Knowledge, threatened against or relating to any Seller, the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business or judgment, decree, injunction, deficiency, rule or order of any court, governmental department, commission, agency, instrumentality or arbitrator which, in any case, might adversely affect the ability of any Seller to enter into this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business, and, to Sellers' Knowledge, there is no existing ground on which any such Action may be commenced with any reasonable likelihood of success.

Permits; Compliance with Laws.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10(a), Sellers and their Subsidiaries are, and have been during the past three (3) years, in compliance in all material respects with the terms of, and, to the extent applicable, have filed timely applications to renew, all material Permits used by Sellers in the Business (including all Permits that are necessary in connection with Sellers' occupancy, ownership or leasing of the Real Property), all of which are set forth on Schedule 2.1(n), and all such Permits are valid and in full force and effect, and no Action is pending or, to Sellers' Knowledge, threatened, which seeks to revoke, limit or otherwise affect any such Permit.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10(b), to Sellers' Knowledge, Sellers and their Subsidiaries are, and have been during the past three (3) years, in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable Laws and during the past three (3) years neither Sellers nor any of their Subsidiaries has received any written notice of any Action against it alleging any failure to comply in any material respect with any such Laws. No investigation by any Governmental Body with respect to Sellers or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to Sellers' Knowledge, threatened, and during the past three (3) years neither Sellers nor any of their Subsidiaries has received any written notice of any such investigation, except, in each case, for any such investigation that would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business.

No Inventory is materially damaged in any significant way, except for any such damage which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business.

The Inventory is not part of a current or past recall.

Sellers do not hold any Inventory on consignment.

The consolidated inventory of Sellers set forth in the Financial Statements was stated therein in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated therein (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and presents fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated inventory as of the respective dates thereof.

Sellers are in compliance in all material respects with all Laws respecting employment and employment practices including, without limitation, all Laws respecting terms and conditions of employment, health and safety, wages and hours, classification, termination of employment, child labor, immigration, employment discrimination, disability rights or benefits, equal opportunity, plant closures and layoffs, affirmative action, workers' compensation, labor relations, employee leave issues and unemployment insurance.

there are no material Claims pending or, to Sellers' Knowledge, threatened, against Sellers by, with respect to or relating to any Employee or any former employee, contingent worker, current or former service provider or job applicant of Sellers.

Set forth on Schedule 4.14(d) is a true, correct and complete list of each Benefit Plan. As applicable with respect to each Benefit Plan (including each non-U.S. Benefit Plan), Sellers have delivered to Purchaser true and complete copies of (i) the most recent plan document, including all amendments thereto, and in the case of an unwritten plan, a written description thereof, (ii) all current trust documents, investment management contracts, custodial agreements and insurance contracts and other funding vehicles relating thereto, (iii) the current summary plan description and each summary of material modifications thereto, (iv) the most recently filed annual report (Form 5500 and all schedules thereto), (v) the most recent IRS determination or opinion letter (vi) the most recent summary annual report, actuarial report, financial statement and trustee report and (vii) any material correspondence with a Governmental Body.

each Benefit Plan has been maintained, operated and administered in compliance in all material respects with its terms and any related documents or agreements and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other Laws.

each Benefit Plan which is an "employee pension benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (each, a "Pension Plan") and which is intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or is the subject of a favorable opinion letter from the IRS to the effect that such Benefit Plan is qualified and exempt from federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, respectively, and there are no facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualification of such Benefit Plan.

during the previous six (6) years, none of Sellers or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has adopted, maintained, sponsored, contributed to (or has been required to adopt, maintain sponsor or contribute to), or has any Liability with respect to any (i) "multiemployer plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA); (ii) employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA, (iii) "multiple employer plan" (within the meaning of Section 210 of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code) or (iv) "defined benefit plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA).

no Benefit Plan provides any health or other welfare benefits to any current or former employee of Sellers other than health continuation coverage required to be provided under COBRA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall not (i) enter into, establish, adopt, materially amend or terminate any Benefit Plan (or any plan or arrangement that would be a Benefit Plan if in existence on the date of this Agreement), other than as required by Law, (ii) increase the compensation and benefits payable or to become payable to Employees, (iii) grant any extraordinary bonuses, benefits or other forms of directors' or consultants' compensation, (iv) promote, hire or terminate the employment of (other than for cause) any Employee or (v) transfer the employment of any individual such that such individual becomes an Employee or transfer the employment of any Employee such that such individual no longer qualifies as an Employee; provided, however that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or otherwise limit Sellers' ability to implement any remedial steps, including issuing offers of reinstatement, in relation to the matter set forth on Schedule 6.7(c) that Sellers determine, with the assistance of counsel, to be in Sellers' best interests (subject to Sellers' obtaining the consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

During the Pre-Closing Period, (i) Sellers shall not enter into, adopt, extend, renew, terminate or materially amend any labor agreement, collective bargaining agreement or any other labor-related agreement or arrangement with any labor union or organization with respect to the Employees, except as required by applicable Law, and (ii) Sellers shall satisfy all pre-Closing legal or contractual requirements to provide notice to, or to enter into any consultation procedure with, any labor union or organization, which is representing any Employee, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Through and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall comply with their COBRA and WARN Act obligations, if any. On or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide a true, complete and correct list, by site of employment, of any and all employees of any Seller who, within ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date, have experienced, or will experience, any employment loss or layoff as defined by the WARN Act. Sellers shall update this list up to and including the Closing Date.

Contemporaneously with the Closing, Sellers shall terminate the employment of all Employees who have been offered employment with Purchaser or its Affiliate. Except for the obligations with respect to the Transferred Employees expressly assumed by Purchaser under Section 2.3, Sellers shall be solely liable for all termination payments and obligations to such Transferred Employees, including, without limitation, any severance and other costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with such termination, and any accrued or contingent salary, bonus, benefits, vacation time, phantom stock payments or other amounts.

Purchaser's Access to Sellers' Records. From and after Sellers' execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers shall continue to provide Purchaser (or its designated representatives) reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice to Sellers, to Sellers' Employees, books and records, corporate offices and other facilities for the purpose of conducting such additional due diligence as Purchaser deems appropriate or necessary in order to facilitate Purchaser's efforts to consummate the transaction provided for herein. Sellers hereby covenant and agree to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in this regard.

Notification of Certain Matters.

As promptly as reasonably practicable, Sellers shall give notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Sellers, of (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person, which is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, is not likely to be obtained prior to Closing, (ii) any written objection or proceeding that challenges the transactions contemplated hereby or the entry of the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and (iii) the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Sellers or Purchaser or by any of their respective Affiliates (as the case may be), from any third party and/or any Governmental Body with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall be entitled to remove and leave behind with Sellers, in its sole discretion, any asset of the Business that would constitute an Acquired Asset (and associated Liabilities therewith), and no reduction in Purchase Price shall be made as a result of any such removal. Purchaser shall deliver notice to Sellers of any such removal at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Liabilities of Sellers arising under or in connection with, or otherwise or related to, any assets removed from the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Section 6.9(b) shall constitute Excluded Liabilities. In addition, and without limiting Purchaser's rights to remove assets from the Acquired Assets or Contracts from the Assigned Contracts, Purchaser and Sellers shall have the right to modify the Schedules attached hereto by their mutual written agreement until two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date or such later date as provided in this Agreement or to which the Parties may otherwise agree.

Each Party hereto shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, notify the other party in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that causes any of the representations and warranties of such party to be inaccurate as of the Effective Date, provided that no such notice shall be deemed to amend or modify the representations and warranties made hereunder or any Schedules hereto for purposes of Section 8.1, Section 9.1 or otherwise, or limit the remedies available to any Party hereunder.

Preservation of Records. Sellers (or any subsequently appointed bankruptcy estate representative, including, but not limited to, a trustee, a creditor trustee or a plan administrator) and Purchaser agree that each of them shall preserve and keep the books and records held by it relating to the pre-Closing Business for a period commencing on the Initial Date and ending at such date on which an orderly wind-down of Sellers' operations has occurred in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser and Sellers and shall make such books and records available to the other Parties (and permit such other Party to make extracts and copies of such books and records at its own expense) as may be reasonably required by such Party in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, legal proceedings or Tax audits against or governmental investigations of Sellers or Purchaser or in order to enable Sellers or Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event that Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, wish to destroy such records during the foregoing period, such Party shall first give twenty (20) days' prior written notice to the other and such other Party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such Party within that twenty (20) day period, to take possession of the records within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.

Publicity. Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser or Sellers, disclosure is otherwise required by such party by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Sellers or Purchaser list securities; provided that the Party intending to make such release shall use its reasonable best efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other Party with respect to the text thereof; provided, further, after the Closing, the Purchaser shall no longer be bound by the foregoing.

Material Adverse Effect. Sellers shall promptly inform Purchaser in writing of the occurrence of any event that has had, or is reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise cause the failure of any of Purchaser's conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE VIII.

No Successor Liability. The Parties intend that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law (including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), upon the Closing, Purchaser shall not be deemed to: (a) be the successor of any Seller, (b) have, de facto, or otherwise, merged with or into any Seller, (c) be a mere continuation or substantial continuation of any Seller or its enterprise(s) or (d) be liable for any acts or omissions of any Seller in the conduct of the Business or arising under or related to the Acquired Assets other than as set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Parties intend that Purchaser shall not be liable for any Encumbrance (other than Assumed Liabilities and Priming Permitted Encumbrances) against any Seller or any of any Seller's predecessors or Affiliates, and Purchaser shall have no successor or vicarious liability of any kind or character whether known or unknown as of the Closing Date, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or whether fixed or contingent, with respect to the Business, the Acquired Assets or any Liabilities of Sellers arising prior to the Closing Date. The Parties agree that the provisions substantially in the form of this Section 6.13 shall be reflected in the Sale Order.

Casualty Loss. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, before the Closing, all or any portion of the Acquired Assets is (a) condemned or taken by eminent domain, or (b) is damaged or destroyed by fire, flood or other casualty, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser promptly in writing of such fact, (i) in the case of condemnation or taking, Sellers shall promptly assign or pay, as the case may be, any proceeds thereof to Purchaser at the Closing, and (ii) in the case of fire, flood or other casualty, Sellers shall promptly assign the insurance proceeds therefrom to Purchaser at Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.14 shall not in any way modify Purchaser's other rights under this Agreement, including any applicable right to terminate the Agreement if any condemnation, taking, damage or other destruction resulted in a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise cause the failure of any of Purchaser's conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE VIII.

Debtors-in-Possession. From the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases through the Closing, Sellers shall continue to operate their business as debtors-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Sellers shall not convert or seek to convert the Chapter 11 Cases into a liquidation proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

In the event an appeal is taken or a stay pending appeal is requested from the Sale Order, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser of such appeal or stay request and shall provide Purchaser promptly a copy of the related notice of appeal or order of stay. Sellers shall also provide Purchaser with written notice of any motion or application filed in connection with any appeal from such orders. Sellers agree to take all action as may be reasonable and appropriate to defend against such appeal or stay request and Sellers and Purchaser agree to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal or stay request, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the parties hereto from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, if the Sale Order shall have been entered and has not been stayed and the Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, waives in writing the condition that the Sale Order be a Final Order.

Sellers and the Purchaser acknowledge that this Agreement and the sale of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

After entry of the Sale Order, to the extent the Purchaser is the Successful Bidder at the Auction, neither the Purchaser nor Sellers shall take any action which is intended to, or fail to take any action the intent of which failure to act is to, result in the reversal, voiding, modification or staying of the Sale Order.

Not a Required Back-Up Bidder. The Bid Procedures shall provide the Purchaser with the option but not any obligation to act as Back-Up Bidder (as defined in the Bid Procedures Order) following the Auction (if any) in the event that the Purchaser is not selected as the Successful Bidder.

Sale Free and Clear. Sellers acknowledge and agree, and the Sale Order shall be drafted to provide, without limitation, that (a) on the Closing Date and concurrently with the Closing, all then-existing or thereafter arising obligations, Liabilities and Encumbrances, against or created by Sellers, any of their Affiliates, or the bankruptcy estate, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be fully released from and with respect to the Acquired Assets and (b) the Purchaser is not the successor to any Seller or the bankruptcy estate by reason of any theory of law or equity, and the Purchaser shall not assume or in any way be responsible for any Liability of Sellers, any of their Affiliates and/or the bankruptcy estate, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Acquired Assets shall be transferred to the Purchaser free and clear of all obligations, Liabilities and Encumbrances (other than Priming Permitted Encumbrances) to the fullest extent permitted by Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Financing Cooperation. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to provide, on a timely basis, such cooperation as is reasonably required and customary in connection with the arrangement of the Purchaser's financing arrangements, which cooperation may include using commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) upon reasonable advance notice, participate in a reasonable number of due diligence or other sessions with prospective financing sources and their Representatives, and provide reasonable access to documents and other information in connection with customary due diligence investigations; (b) reasonably assisting (including participating in drafting sessions) with the preparation of materials; (c) furnishing the Purchaser with information required and reasonably requested in writing by the parties acting as lead arrangers for, or lenders under, any debt financing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations; (d) assisting the Purchaser in obtaining accountants' comfort letters, including customary "negative assurance" comfort from Sellers' independent accountants on customary terms; (e) cooperating with the Purchaser and the Purchaser's efforts to obtain customary corporate, facilities and securities ratings; (f) providing and, if applicable, executing customary documents relating to the repayment of Indebtedness and the release of related encumbrances, including customary payoff letters and evidence that notice of such repayment has been timely delivered to the holders of such Indebtedness; (g) satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in any commitment letters or any definitive documentation relating to any debt financing to the extent the satisfaction of such conditions requires the cooperation of or is within the control of Sellers or their respective Affiliates, including causing officers of Sellers and their respective Affiliates to execute agreements, documents or certificates reasonably requested by the Purchaser that facilitate the creation, perfection or enforcement of encumbrances securing debt financing (including original copies of all certificated securities (with transfer powers executed in blank), control agreements, perfection certificates, landlord consents and access letters) as are requested by the Purchaser, its Affiliates or their debt financing sources (provided that no obligation under any such agreement, document or certificate shall be effective until the Closing); and (h) cooperating with the debt financing sources' due diligence investigation to the extent reasonable and not unreasonably interfering with the Business.

Wind-Down Account. From and after the Closing, the Wind-Down Payment deposited into the Wind-Down Account shall be held in trust by Orchids, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, for the benefit of Persons entitled to be paid priority claims, administrative expenses and other costs relating to the post-Closing administration and wind-down of Sellers’ estates, including, without limitation, confirmation of a liquidating plan for the Sellers, in accordance with the Wind-Down Budget and the following provisions:

All priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs to be paid from the Wind-Down Account pursuant to the Wind-Down Budget must be submitted by the claimant that earned or incurred such priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs to Orchids and Purchaser in writing.

Upon the submission of any such priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs to be paid from the Wind-Down Account, Purchaser and Orchids each shall have ten (10) days to object in writing to any such priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs on the basis that it: (i) is not consistent in kind or amount with the Wind-Down Budget or (ii) is not reasonably necessary for administering and winding-down of Sellers’ estates.

In the event a timely written objection is made by Purchaser or Orchids and an agreement thereafter cannot be reached among the claimant, Orchids and Purchaser resolving such objection, the allowance and payment of the priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs still in dispute shall be determined by Order of the Bankruptcy Court upon application by the claimant, Orchids, or Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs sought to be paid from the Wind-Down Budget consist of fees and/or expenses of estate professionals or similar Persons earned or incurred during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the allowance of such fees and expenses shall be governed by Sections 327, 328, 330, 331 and/or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2016, the Local Rules of the Bankruptcy Court, and Orders of the Bankruptcy Court entered in the Chapter 11 Cases and the amount contained in the Wind-Down Budget.

If and to the extent that the amount of any such priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs (or portion thereof) has been allowed by (i) a lack of a timely objection by Orchids and Purchaser, (ii) an agreement among the claimant, Orchids and Purchaser, or (iii) entry of an Order by the Bankruptcy Court, as set forth above, Orchids shall promptly pay to the claimant the allowed amount of such priority claims, administrative expenses or other costs (or portion thereof) from the Wind-Down Account.

Subsequent to Closing, Orchids shall reduce the amount of the Wind-Down Account as and to the extent that Orchids may agree, or the Bankruptcy Court determines by entry of an Order, that the Wind-Down Account, or portions thereof, are no longer required to fund the administration and wind-down expenses and costs of Sellers’ estates by distributing to Purchaser the amount of such reductions.

Pursuant to the Sale Order, all right, title and interest in and to any amounts in the Wind-Down Account that are not used to pay costs associated with administering and winding-down Sellers’ estates shall vest absolutely in Purchaser as of the Closing Date and shall promptly (but in any event within 180 days) be distributed to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 6.20.

Customers and Suppliers. Upon Purchaser's request, Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in facilitating communications between Purchaser and any Material Customer or Material Supplier prior to Closing. Sellers shall promptly inform Purchaser in writing of the occurrence of any event that has had, or is reasonably expected to cause, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.13 or Section 8.16.

COVENANTS OF PURCHASER

Employee Matters.

Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designated Affiliate or Affiliates to, extend offers of employment to each Employee who has not been terminated or otherwise left the employ of Sellers prior to the Closing Date (or, with respect to each Leave Employee, at such other time as described below in this Section 7.1(a)); provided that, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, exclude any Employees from the group of Employees to whom Purchaser is required to extend an offer of employment by notice to Orchids no later than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing (the Employees to whom Seller extends an offer of employment, the "Offer Employees"). Purchaser may provide in each offer of employment to an Offer Employee that such offer of employment is subject to such Offer Employee's compliance with and completion of Purchaser's standard hiring practices and policies. All such individuals who accept such offers of employment by the Closing Date, and commence such employment immediately after the Closing, with Purchaser or its Affiliates are hereinafter referred to as the "Transferred Employees". With respect to each Offer Employee who is not actively at work on the Closing Date due to a leave of absence (other than a leave expected to last for less than two (2) weeks) approved by any Seller (each a "Leave Employee"), Purchaser may, or may cause its Affiliate to, provide such Offer Employee an offer of employment if, and at such time that, such Offer Employee is willing and able to return to active employment if within six (6) months following the Closing Date, or such longer period of time required by applicable Law, and upon commencing employment with Purchaser or its Affiliate, any such Offer Employee shall be treated as a Transferred Employee. After the Closing, Purchaser intends to adopt an incentive plan applicable to certain employees with respect to the time period from and after the Closing to the end of 2019 and to be based upon achieving certain performance objectives and other factors.

Subject to Purchaser's right to terminate any Transferred Employees, Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to provide, for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee with a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, that is equal to the base salary or wage rate provided to such Transferred Employees as of the Initial Date. For purposes of eligibility, vesting, and participation (excluding with respect to benefit accrual, retiree welfare benefits and defined benefit pension benefits) under any Purchaser plans and programs providing employee benefits to Transferred Employees after the Closing Date (the "Post-Closing Plans"), Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to credit each Transferred Employee with his or her years of service with Sellers before the Closing Date to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under the comparable Benefit Plans in which such Transferred Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing (such Seller plans, the "Sellers Benefit Plans"), except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser, or its applicable Affiliate, may permit or require the Transferred Employees to continue to participate in the Assumed Plans. To the extent a Transferred Employee is covered by a collective bargaining agreement following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide the benefits contemplated under this Section 7.1(b) in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement.

For purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Closing Plan for such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents (unless such exclusions or requirements were applicable under Sellers Benefit Plans). In addition, Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to cause any co-payments, deductible and other eligible expenses incurred by such Transferred Employee and/or his or her covered dependents under any Sellers Benefit Plan providing, medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical or vision benefits during the plan year ending on the Closing Date to be credited for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year of each comparable Post-Closing Plan in which he or she participates.

Purchaser shall assume and honor all vacation days, sick leave and other paid-time-off accrued or earned, but not yet taken, by each Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date.

Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of any severance payment or benefits that become due to any current or former employee, officer, director, member, partner or independent contractor as a result of the termination of such individual by any Seller or any ERISA Affiliate thereof. Sellers shall be responsible for all legally mandated health care continuation coverage for its, and its Affiliates', current and former employees (and their qualified beneficiaries) who had or have a loss of coverage due to a "qualifying event" (within the meaning of Section 603 of ERISA) which occurred or occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any loss of coverage that results directly or indirectly from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume and be responsible for any severance benefits for any Transferred Employee who terminates employment with Purchaser or such Affiliate after the Closing Date, to the extent such Transferred Employee is entitled to severance benefits under a Post-Closing Plan or Assumed Plan.

Purchaser shall assume the Benefit Plans, as the case may be, identified by Purchaser and listed on Schedule 7.1(f) (collectively, the "Assumed Plans"); provided, that Purchaser may elect to treat any such Assumed Plan as an Excluded Asset and/or Excluded Liability upon notice to Orchids no later than two (2) Business Days prior to Closing. Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other, shall take such actions as are necessary and reasonably requested by the other Party to cause Purchaser to assume sponsorship of the Assumed Plans as of the Closing and to effect the transfer of all assets and benefit liabilities of the Assumed Plans together with all related trust, insurance policies and administrative services agreements, effective as soon as practicable following the Closing.

On or before the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall have offered employment and/or retention arrangements to each of the Employees listed on Schedule 7.1(g) on the terms set forth on such schedule.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, on and following the Closing Date, Purchaser may provide benefits (including any 401(k) plans) to the Transferred Employees acceptable to the Purchaser in its sole discretion.

On and following the Initial Date, Sellers and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.1, including exchanging information and data relating to workers' compensation, employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverage, and in obtaining any governmental approvals required hereunder, except as would result in the violation of any applicable Law, including without limitation, any Law relating to the safeguarding of data privacy.

The provisions of this Section 7.1 are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement only and shall not be construed to grant any rights, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, to any person who is not a Party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision of this Agreement be deemed to be the adoption of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan, as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or otherwise to limit the right of Purchaser or Sellers to amend, modify or terminate any such employee benefit plan. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be construed to (i) prohibit any amendments to or termination of any employee benefit plans or (ii) prohibit the termination or change in terms of employment of any employee (including any Transferred Employee) as permitted under applicable Law. Nothing herein, expressed or implied, shall confer upon any employee (including any Transferred Employee) any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period) of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

Reasonable Access to Records and Certain Personnel. Following consummation of the Closing, so long as such access does not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser's business operations, Purchaser shall permit Sellers' employees, agents, counsel and other professionals employed in the Chapter 11 Cases, or otherwise retained by Sellers, reasonable access to the financial and other books and records relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business (whether in documentary or data form) for the purposes of facilitating the continuing administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, preparing Tax Returns or responding to Tax related inquiries, and other such administrative activities, which access shall include the right of such professionals to copy, at Sellers' expense, such documents and records as it may request in furtherance of the purposes described above, subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 6.5 hereof. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, move any or all of the books and records relating to the Acquired Assets and/or the Business to a location of its designation; provided, however, if Purchaser moves any such documents or records from their present location, Sellers have the right to require Purchaser to copy and deliver to Sellers or their professionals such documents and records as they may request, but only to the extent Sellers or any such professional (a) furnishes Purchaser with reasonably detailed written descriptions of the materials to be so copied and (b) Sellers advance to Purchaser the costs and expenses thereof. The Parties acknowledge that Sellers shall have the right to retain any documents and records provided to it by Purchaser, subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 6.5 hereof. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Sellers and such of Sellers' professionals as Sellers shall have from time to time designated, with reasonable access to former management of the Business during regular business hours to assist Sellers as set forth in this Section 7.2, provided again that such access does not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser's business operations. Purchaser shall not dispose of any such documents and records except as shall be consistent with applicable Law; provided, further, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with reasonable advance written notice prior to the disposal of any such documents or records, together with the opportunity for Sellers to preserve such documents or records at Sellers' cost.

Procedure and Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Parties to this Agreement and all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that the Parties shall, in all events, remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE XI.

Breach by Sellers. If termination of this Agreement is due solely to a material breach by Sellers pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(i) hereof, Purchaser shall thereupon, as its sole and exclusive remedy, immediately be entitled to payment of the Expense Reimbursement Amount, which amount shall be paid to Purchaser within three (3) days following its delivery to Sellers of its documented costs, fees and expenses; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve Sellers from liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement or any agreement made as of the Initial Date or subsequent thereto pursuant to this Agreement. Sellers' obligation to pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall constitute an administrative expense of Sellers under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Section 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Breach by Purchaser. If termination of this Agreement is due solely to a material breach by Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1(d) hereof, Sellers, as their sole remedy, shall be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000,000, which shall be payable by Purchaser by the forgiveness of Prepetition Credit Agreement Indebtedness. The Parties hereby agree that the foregoing dollar amount is a fair and reasonable estimate of the total detriment that Sellers would suffer in the event of Purchaser's default and failure to complete the transaction hereunder.

Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement Amount.

In consideration of Purchaser and its Affiliates having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation thereof, and the identification and quantification of assets to be included in the Acquired Assets, and to compensate the Purchaser as a stalking-horse bidder, Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay in cash to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Purchaser to Sellers in writing, an amount equal to $5,250,000, which is three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (the "Break-Up Fee"), (x) in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(iii) or Section 11.1(b)(iv) or (y) in the event that (1) this Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(ii) or for any of Section 11.1(c)(ii) through Section 11.1(c)(xii) (other than a termination pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(vi) resulting from a conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to chapter 7 pursuant to a motion brought by a party in interest other than Sellers and (2) a Seller enters into any agreement or process with respect to an Alternative Transaction within nine (9) months after such termination of this Agreement which results in an Alternative Transaction being consummated; (A) such Break-Up Fee shall be due and payable simultaneously with any termination of this Agreement, in the case of the foregoing clause (x) and (B) fifty percent (50%) of such Break-Up Fee shall be due and payable simultaneously with the consummation of the Alternative Transaction in the case of the foregoing clause (y). Sellers' obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee pursuant to this Section 11.5(a) shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall constitute an administrative expense of Sellers under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Section 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Sellers agree and acknowledge that the Purchaser's due diligence, efforts, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement have involved substantial investment of management time and have required significant commitment of financial, legal, and other resources by Purchaser and its Affiliates, and that such due diligence, efforts, negotiation, and execution have provided value to Sellers and, in Sellers' reasonable business judgment, is necessary for the preservation of the value of Sellers' estate. Sellers further agree and acknowledge that the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement Amount are reasonable in relation to Purchaser's efforts, Purchaser's lost opportunities from pursuing this transaction, and the magnitude of the transactions contemplated hereby. The provision of the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement Amount is an integral part of this Agreement, without which Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement. Sellers' obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement Amount shall be joint and several among Sellers.

If Sellers fail to take any action necessary to cause the delivery of the Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount under circumstances where Purchaser is entitled to the Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount and, in order to obtain such Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount, Purchaser commences a suit which results in a judgment in favor of Purchaser, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser, in addition to the Break-Up Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount, an amount of cash equal to the costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Purchaser in connection with such suit.

MISCELLANEOUS

Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein (including without limitation Section 11.5(d)), each Party hereto shall bear its own expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Survival of Representations and Warranties; Survival of Confidentiality. The Parties agree that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall expire upon the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties agree that the covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed at or after the Closing shall survive in accordance with the terms of the particular covenant or until fully performed.

Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof may be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Acquired Assets, Assigned Contracts and the Schedules hereto may be amended in accordance with Section 2.6 and Section 6.9(b). No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, condition, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by applicable Law.

Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by a Party hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when received if given in person, (ii) on the date of transmission if sent by telecopy or by electronic mail, (iii) one (1) Business Day after being delivered to a nationally known commercial courier service providing next day delivery service (such as FedEx), or (iv) three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid:

Tax Matters.

Any sales, use, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, use or similar fees or other Taxes, governmental charges and recording charges (including any interest and penalty thereon) which may be payable by reason of the sale of the Acquired Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Transfer Taxes") shall be borne by Purchaser to the extent not exempt under the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable to the transfer of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser shall properly file on a timely basis all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any Transfer Tax and provide to Sellers evidence of payment of all Transfer Taxes.

In the case of any taxable period that begins before, and ends after, the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period"), (i) Taxes imposed on the Acquired Assets that are based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed on a transaction basis (including all related items of income, gain, deduction or credit) will be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date, and (ii) any real property, personal property, ad valorem and similar Taxes allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending with the end of the day on the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that is in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, in each of (i) and (ii) such amounts shall be the responsibility of Sellers (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such amounts shall be an Excluded Liability for purposes of clause (ii) of Section 2.4(d)).

Purchaser shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Tax Returns in respect of the Acquired Assets required to be filed after the Closing Date. Prior to filing any such Tax Returns, Purchaser shall provide a draft thereof to Sellers for Sellers' review, comment and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at least fifteen (15) days before the due date of such Tax Returns, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Purchaser shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Sellers to such Tax Returns, and Purchaser shall make any revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers. To the extent any Taxes reflected on any such Tax Return are an Excluded Liability, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such liability within ten (10) days of receiving notice from Purchaser that such Tax Return has been filed or that Purchaser has paid such liability, except to the extent such Taxes were paid by Sellers to the applicable Governmental Body prior to the filing of such Tax Return.

Cooperation on Tax Matters. Purchaser shall make available to Sellers, and Sellers shall make available to Purchaser, (i) such records, personnel and advisors as any such Party may require for the preparation of any Tax Returns required to be filed by Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, and (ii) such records, personnel and advisors as Sellers or Purchaser may require for the defense of any audit, examination, administrative appeal, or litigation of any Tax Return in which Sellers or Purchaser was included. Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser, and shall make available to Purchaser such records, personnel and advisors as is reasonably necessary for Purchaser, in determining the Tax attributes of Sellers and their Subsidiaries and whether to consummate the Closing as a transaction treated as a reorganization under Section 368 of the code or a taxable sale under Section 1001 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Allocation of Purchase Price. As soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a draft allocation of the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes, including any liabilities properly included therein among the Acquired Assets and the agreements provided for herein, for federal, state and local income tax purposes (the "Initial Allocation"). Within forty-five (45) days of the receipt of the Initial Allocation, Sellers shall deliver a written notice (the "Objection Notice") to Purchaser, setting forth in reasonable detail those items in the Initial Allocation that Sellers disputes. Sellers may make reasonable inquiries of Purchaser and its accountants and employees relating to the Initial Allocation, and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants and employees to cooperate with, and provide such requested information to, Sellers in a timely manner. If prior to the conclusion of such forty-five (45)-day period, Sellers notify Purchaser in writing that they will not provide any Objection Notice or if Sellers do not deliver an Objection Notice within such forty-five (45)-day period, then Purchaser's proposed Initial Allocation shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon each of the Parties hereto. Within thirty (30) days of Sellers' delivery of the Objection Notice, Sellers and Purchaser shall attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items, and failing such resolution, the unresolved disputed items shall be referred for final binding resolution to an Arbitrating Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant shall be paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers. Such determination by the Arbitrating Accountant shall be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to Purchaser and Sellers as soon as practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the items in dispute have been referred to the Arbitrating Accountant), (iii) made in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 12.12(e), and (iv) non-appealable and incontestable by Purchaser and Sellers. As used herein, the "Allocation" means the allocation of the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities and other related items among the Acquired Assets and the agreements provided for herein as finally agreed between Purchaser and Sellers or ultimately determined by the Arbitrating Accountant, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 12.12(e). The Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate). Purchaser and Sellers shall each report the federal, state and local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner consistent with the Allocation, including, if applicable, the preparation and filing of Forms 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code (or any successor form or successor provision of any future Tax Law) with their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year which includes the Closing Date, and neither will take any position inconsistent with the Allocation unless otherwise required under applicable Law. Sellers shall provide Purchaser and Purchaser shall provide Sellers with a copy of any information required to be furnished to the Secretary of the Treasury under Code Section 1060.

Withholding. Purchaser, and any Person acting on its behalf, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Seller or any other Person such amounts as Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided that Purchaser shall consult with the affected Sellers or other Persons in good faith prior to making such withholding or deduction and the Parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate any such amounts. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers or the Person in respect of whom such deductions and withholding was made, as the case may be.

Construction.

The information contained in the Schedules is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement and may include items or information not required to be disclosed under this Agreement, and no information contained in any Schedule shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party hereto to any third Person of any matter whatsoever, including an admission of any violation of any Laws or breach of any agreement. No information contained in any Schedule shall be deemed to be material (whether individually or in the aggregate) to the Business, assets, liabilities, financial position, operations, or results of operations of Sellers nor shall it be deemed to give rise to circumstances which may result in a Material Adverse Effect, in each case solely by reason of it being disclosed. Information contained in a Section, subsection or individual Schedule (or expressly incorporated therein) shall qualify the representations and warranties made in the identically numbered Section or, if applicable, subsection of this Agreement and all other representations and warranties made in any other Section, subsection or Schedule to the extent its applicability to such Section, subsection or Schedule is reasonably apparent on its face. References to agreements in the Schedules are not intended to be a full description of such agreements, and all such disclosed agreements should be read in their entirety, and nothing disclosed in any Schedule is intended to broaden any representation or warranty contained in ARTICLE IV or ARTICLE V.

References in ARTICLE IV or ARTICLE V to documents or other materials "provided" or "made available" to Purchaser or similar phrases mean that such documents or other materials were present (and available for viewing by Purchaser and its Representatives) in the online data room hosted at www.datasiteone.merrillcorp.com on behalf of Sellers for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Initial Date.

Entire Understanding. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Documents and the Prepetition Credit Agreements, set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents hereto supersede all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. There have been no representations or statements, oral or written, that have been relied on by any Party hereto, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document hereto.

No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that each Party to this Agreement has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule or law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived.

No Punitive Damages The Parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that no Party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive damages relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.
