Prior to Closing any news releases or other media releases to the public of information with respect to the sale of the Property or any matters set forth in this Offer will be made only in the form approved by Seller in writing.
Prior to Closing. 9.1.1 This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by the mutual written consent of each of the parties hereto.
Prior to Closing. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of employees of the Stations that Seller does not intend to retain after Closing. Buyer may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other employees of Seller. Buyer is obligated to hire only those employees that are under employment contracts (and assume Seller's obligations and liabilities under such employment contracts) which are included in the Station Contracts. With respect to employees hired by Buyer ("Transferred Employees"), to the extent permitted by law Seller shall provide Buyer access to its personnel records and such other information as Buyer may reasonably request prior to Closing. With respect to such hired employees, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and accrued employee benefits payable by it until Closing and thereafter Buyer shall be responsible for all such obligations payable by it. Buyer shall cause all employees it hires to be eligible to participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(l) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in which similarly situated employees are generally eligible to participate; provided, however, that all such employees and their spouses and dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately after Closing (and shall not be excluded from coverage on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent provided under such plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of service in any such plan for which such employees may be eligible after Closing, Buyer shall ensure that service with Seller shall be deemed to have been service with the Buyer. In addition, Buyer shall ensure that each such employee receives credit under any welfare benefit plan of Buyer for any deductibles or co- payments paid by such employees and dependents for the current plan year under a plan maintained by Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall grant credit to each such employee for all unused sick leave accrued as of Closing as an employee of Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall assume and discharge Seller's liabilities for the payment of all unused vacation leave accrued by such employees as of Closing.
Prior to Closing. Seller agrees that, with respect to all revenues, settlements, pools, separations studies or similar activities, Seller shall be responsible for (and shall receive the benefit or suffer the burden of) any adjustments to contributions, or receipt of funds, by Seller resulting from any such activities that are related to the operation of the Business or the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets prior to the Closing Date. Specifically, this paragraph shall apply, but shall not be limited to, any maters related to the National Exchange Carrier Association ("NECA") including the Universal Service Fund ("USF"), Local Switching Support ("LSS") and Telecommunications Relay Services funds.

Prior to Closing. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:
Prior to Closing. Buyer shall neither encumber nor cause any liens to be created against the Property in any way, nor shall Buyer, at any time, record this Agreement or a memorandum thereof; and
Prior to Closing. Buyer may not assign any rights acquired hereunder or delegate any duties assumed hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller or its respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall remain responsible to Seller for all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement and under the Assignment, until expressly released by Seller in writing.
Prior to Closing. Sellers shall cause the Target to (i) give Buyer and its authorized representatives reasonable access to all books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Target, (ii) permit Buyer to make such copies and inspections thereof as Buyer may reasonably request and (iii) cause the officers of the Target to furnish Buyer with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Target as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted at Buyer's expense, at a reasonable time, under the supervision of the Target's personnel and in such a manner as to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and not to interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Target. Notwithstanding anything contained in this or any other agreement between Buyer and the Target executed prior to the date hereof, nothing herein shall require either any Seller or Target to disclose any information to Buyer if such disclosure would (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, or (ii) contravene any applicable laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which any Seller, Target or any of their respective Affiliates is a party) and, in each such case, Target gives Buyer notice of such non-disclosure. The provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain binding and in full force and effect until the Closing. The information contained herein, in the Disclosure Schedule or delivered to Buyer or its authorized representatives pursuant hereto shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement (as "Confidential Information" (as defined, and subject to the exceptions contained, therein)) until the Closing and, for that purpose and to that extent, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. Buyer and Sellers shall cause their consultants, advisors and representatives to treat the terms of this Agreement after the date hereof as strictly confidential (unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of legal counsel, by other requirements of law).
