3.10 Tax Matters.

3.10.1 Filing of Returns. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10.1 Premier has filed all material Tax Returns that it was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes owed by Premier (as shown on any such Tax Return) have been paid or have been adequately reserved for on the Premier Balance Sheet. Premier is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where Premier does not

file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. Premier has not received any notice that there are any Security Interests on any of the Premier Assets that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

3.11 Employee Benefit Plans.

3.11.1 List of Plans. Schedule 3.11.1 hereto contains a correct and complete list of all pension, profit sharing, retirement, deferred compensation, welfare, legal services, medical, dental or other employee benefit or health insurance plans, life insurance or other death benefit plans, disability, stock option, stock purchase, stock compensation, bonus, vacation pay, severance pay and other similar plans, programs or agreements, and every material written personnel policy, relating to any persons employed by Premier or in which any person employed by Premier is eligible to participate and which is currently maintained or that was maintained at any time by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate of Premier (collectively, the “Premier Plans”), including without limitation any Premier Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) (a “Welfare Plan”).

3.11.2 ERISA. Schedule 3.11.2 contains a complete list of all employee pension benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) which are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code (the “Pension Plans”). Each Pension Plan has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, and the trust created thereunder has been determined to be exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code; copies of all determination letters have been delivered to the Purchaser. Any such determination remains in effect and has not been revoked, and nothing has occurred since the date of such determination letters which might cause the loss of such qualification or exemption.

Neither Premier not any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA which has not been paid in full prior to the Closing. There has been no “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) with respect to any Pension Plan ever maintained by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate and subject to Code Section 412 or ERISA Section 302. With respect to any Pension Plan maintained by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate and subject to Title IV of ERISA, there has been no (nor will be any as a result of the transaction contemplated

by this Agreement) (i) “reportable event,” within the meaning of ERISA Section 4043, or the regulations thereunder (for which notice the notice requirement is not waived under 29 C.F.R. Part 2615) and (ii) no event or condition which presents a material risk of plan termination or any other event that may cause Premier or any ERISA Affiliate to incur liability or have a lien imposed on its assets under Title IV of ERISA. No Pension Plan maintained by Premier or any ERISA Affiliate and subject to Title IV of ERISA has any “unfunded benefit liabilities” within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001(a)(18), as of the Closing Date, and, without any additional contributions being made to such Plan, the assets of such Plan are sufficient to satisfy all obligations of the Plan if the Plan were to terminate. Neither Premier nor any ERISA Affiliate currently maintains or has ever maintained a Multiemployer Plan.

3.12 Employment-Related Matters.

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and Premier;

(b) by Parent if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Premier or ▇▇▇▇▇ and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to Premier (provided, that none of Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied;

(c) (i) by Parent, if Premier, its board of directors or ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have (1) withdrawn, modified or amended in any material respect the approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or (2) taken any public position inconsistent with its approval or recommendation, including, without limitation, having failed (without the consent of Parent) after a reasonable period of time to reject or disapprove any Acquisition Proposal (or after a reasonable period of time to recommend to its shareholders such rejection or disapproval), provided, that none of Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub is and in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and in that event Premier shall pay to Parent the amount specified in Section 6.1;

(ii) by Premier, if Parent, Federal, Acquisition Sub or their respective boards of directors shall have (1) withdrawn, modified or amended in any material respect the approval of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or (2) taken any public position inconsistent with its approval or recommendation (provided, that neither Premier nor ▇▇▇▇▇ is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement) and in that event Parent shall pay to Premier the amount specified in Section 6.1;

(d) by Premier, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub and such breach has not been cured within ten business days after written notice to Parent (provided, that neither Premier nor ▇▇▇▇▇ is in material breach of the terms of this Agreement, and provided further, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured) such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3.1 or Section 7.3.2 hereof, as the case may be, will not be satisfied, and in that event Parent shall pay to Premier the amount specified in Section 6.1;

pursuant to Section 6.1;

(f) by any party hereto if: (i) there shall be a final, non-appealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Transaction; (ii) there shall be any final action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Transaction by any Governmental Entity which would make consummation of the Transaction illegal or which would prohibit Parent’s or Federal’s ownership or operation of all or a material portion of the stock or assets of Premier, or compel Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub to dispose of or hold separate all or a material portion of the business or assets of Premier or Parent, Federal or Acquisition Sub as a result of the Transaction; or

(g) by any party hereto if the Transaction shall not have been consummated by May 15, 2003, provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(g) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before such date.

9.3 Entire Agreement. Unless otherwise herein specifically provided, this Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Letter of Intent.
