In the Sale, the Purchase Price was paid to a bank account under the control of Salus Capital Partners, LLC (“Salus”), as agent for the lenders party to that certain Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of June 18, 2014 by and among Sassy, its affiliate guarantors, Salus and the other lenders party thereto.
