Subsidiaries to comply with, any Laws respecting employment that are applicable to the AirCard Business, any of the Acquired Assets
or the Assumed Liabilities.
(d)
To the Knowledge of Sellers, as of the date hereof, none of the Offered Employees are subject to any

Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries. There is no certification of a trade union as bargaining agent or pending demand for recognition or
any other request or demand from a labor organization for representative status with respect to any Offered Employee. To the
Knowledge of Sellers, there are no current activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize the Offered Employees. There is no
labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of Sellers, threatened
which would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the AirCard Business. To the Knowledge of Sellers, neither Sellers nor
any of their Subsidiaries have engaged in any unfair labor practice in connection with the operation of the AirCard Business, or been
subject to any pending or threatened charge or complaint of unfair labor practice in connection with the operation of the AirCard
Business, before the National Labor Relations Board and any similar state, provincial, local or foreign agency.

on the Closing Date and other than for Offered Employees who were terminated on account of the Closing or pursuant to a written
request by Buyers.
(h)
To the Knowledge of Sellers, Sellers and their Subsidiaries are and have been in compliance with all non-
U.S.
laws applicable to the Offered Employees concerning employer contributions and deduction and remission of employee contributions to
any trade union, housing, unemployment, retirement, bonus, worker’
s compensation and welfare funds and all other funds to which an
employer is required by Law to contribute.
