Employees and Benefits. With respect to Employee Benefit Plans, credit for service accrued by Continuing Employees (and eligible dependents) for employment with Stonepath and/or the Company prior to the Closing Date shall be recognized (except to the extent necessary to prevent duplication of benefits), any pre-existing condition limitations (to the extent such limitations did not apply to a pre-existing condition under a similar or corresponding Stonepath Employee Benefit Plan) and eligibility waiting periods applicable to any Continuing Employee shall be waived, and employees shall be given credit for amounts paid or vesting under any Stonepath or Company Employee Benefit Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Employee Benefit Plan of Purchaser. With respect to 401(k) plan matters, Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) plan to be created by Purchaser, effective within 60 days after the Closing Date. Prior to Closing, the Parties will agree on a list of employees that will be terminated by Stonepath and hired by Purchaser at Closing ("Continuing Employees"). Provided that the Company has established medical plans for the Continuing Employees as of the Closing Date, all such Continuing Employees shall be terminated from Stonepath's Employee Benefit Plans as of the Closing Date, pursuant to Applicable Law, and be covered by Purchaser's plans, including medical coverage, thereafter. To the extent the Purchaser does not have new plans in place on the Closing Date, Stonepath shall continue to maintain coverage for the Continuing Employees for the remainder of the month of the Closing Date at Purchaser's expense, including any expenses of administration. The estimated reimbursement for such medical coverage as determined by Stonepath shall be paid by Purchaser to Stonepath prior to the date that it is due from Stonepath, with an actual reconciliation to follow within thirty (30) days of the delivery to Purchaser of documentation of actual costs.

Purchaser, in cooperation with Seller, shall, at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, extend a written offer of employment to those employees selected by Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Selected Employees”), at a level and with responsibilities that are substantially commensurate with their employment with Seller and at a wage or salary and other compensation not less than the respective wages or salaries and other compensation specified for such Selected Employees on Schedule 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule. Those Selected Employees who accept offers of employment with Purchaser and who become employees of Purchaser as of the Closing Date are referred to as “Transferred Employees.” Purchaser agrees that in the event that it determines that it may not offer employment to sufficient numbers of employees to avoid the notice and other requirements of the WARN Act, Purchaser will give Seller immediate notice thereof which will be sufficiently in advance of the Closing of the purchase of the Business that Seller will be able to comply with the notice requirements of the WARN Act and Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any liability or obligations under the WARN Act if Purchaser should fail to do so or if Seller otherwise incurs liability under the WARN Act as a result of Purchaser’s actions in connection with this transaction.
