     12. The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following language to the end of Section 6.5(b):
    “Notwithstanding its obligations under this Section 6.5(b)(i), Purchaser has represented that, following Closing, certain Transferred Employees listed in Annex G hereto (the “Transferred Employees on Leave”), will not be eligible to participate in its short term and long term disability plans, but will be excluded due to “actively-at-work exclusions or other limitations or restrictions on coverage.” As a result, the parties agree that for the limited and sole purpose of allowing the Transferred Employees on Leave to remain eligible to participate in Sellers’ Short Term Disability Plan (“QSTD Plan”) and Sellers’ Long Term Disability Plan (“QLTD Plan”), and any other employee benefit plans as necessary to replace any of Purchaser’s employee benefit plans from which they may be further excluded by virtue of their retention by Sellers, each Transferred Employee on Leave will be deemed to remain employed by Sellers until the earlier of: (x) the Transferred Employee on Leave becomes eligible to participate in any equivalent short term disability plan or long term disability plan offered by Purchaser; or (y) the Transferred Employee on Leave is released by his physician to return to work either full time or part-time. Purchaser agrees to make all reasonable efforts to comply with its obligations under Section 6.5(a) by seeking the immediate removal of the exclusions and or limitations that prevent the Transferred Employees on Leave from being eligible to participate in the short term and long term disability plans. Within five (5) business days of closing, Purchaser must provide Sellers with adequate documentation of the eligibility factors and exclusions on which it relies in making its representation that the Transferred Employees on Leave are not eligible to participate in the short term and long term disability plans and will periodically report to Sellers, not less frequently than bi-weekly, on its status in seeking the removal of these exclusions or limitations. Purchaser will reimburse Sellers in full for all costs, either direct or indirect, associated with maintaining eligibility for, or paying benefits to, the Transferred Employees on Leave under the QSTD Plan and the QLTD Plan, and all other employee benefit plans in which the Transferred Employees on Leave will participate to replace the Purchaser’s plans from which they are excluded by virtue of their retention by Sellers. Upon receipt of documentation releasing such Employee to return to work, either full time or part time, or upon the removal of the restrictions precluding the Transferred Employees on Leave from participating in the Purchaser’s short term and long term disability plans, Purchaser shall be obligated to complete the full transfer of the Transferred Employee on Leave to its full employment with full benefits as required by Section 6.5, assign the Transferred Employee on Leave to work immediately (if he has been released to work), make direct payments to the returning Employee equivalent to the amount of any remaining benefit under the QSTD Plan or the QLTD Plan (in cases where the employee has been released to return to work on a part time basis but remains excluded from Purchaser’s short term and long term disability plans), and shall fully comply with its obligations under Section 6.5, with all applicable laws and with all restrictions, if any, imposed by health care providers with respect to the Transferred Employee on Leave who is returning to work. For all other purposes, the Transferred Employees on Leave shall be considered to be employees of Purchaser, to the same extent as Transferred Employees, and nothing in this

    Section 6.5(b) shall affect or diminish Purchaser’s obligations with respect to such Transferred Employees on Leave.”
     13. The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding Annex G attached hereto as an Annex to the Purchase Agreement.
     14. Each reference in the Purchase Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Purchase Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.
     15. The Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
     16. The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment. All Section references herein are to sections of this Amendment unless specified otherwise.
     17. This Amendment and the legal relations between the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof. The State or Federal courts located within the State of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes between the parties hereto, whether in law or equity, arising out of or in connection with this Amendment.
     18. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
