Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the other representations in this Section 2.12, all references to Company Employee Plan shall include arrangements that would be listed in this Section 2.12(a) but for the “material” qualifiers in (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v), and shall include plans that are mandated by a Governmental Entity, but sponsored or contributed to by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof.
Company Employees Each Party shall not, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, any employee of the other Party who has been directly involved in the performance of this Agreement during the Term and for one year after the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination of such individual's employment, with the other Party. It shall not be a violation of this provision if any employee responds to a Party's general advertisement of an open position.
Continuing Employees “Continuing Employees” is defined in Section 6.4 of the Agreement.
Transferred Employees Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment to each Applicable Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as provided in an individual employment Contract with any Applicable Employee or as required by the terms of an Assumed Plan, offers of employment to Applicable Employees whose employment rights are subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement as of the Closing Date, shall be made in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and Purchaser’s obligations under the Labor Management Relations Act of 1974, as amended. Each offer of employment to an Applicable Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement shall provide, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, for (i) base salary or hourly wage rates initially at least equal to such Applicable Employee’s base salary or hourly wage rate in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee pension and welfare benefits, Contracts and arrangements that are not less favorable in the aggregate than those listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, but not including any Retained Plan, equity or equity-based compensation plans or any Benefit Plan that does not comply in all respects with TARP. For the avoidance of doubt, each Applicable Employee on layoff status, leave status or with recall rights as of the Closing Date, shall continue in such status and/or retain such rights after Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business. Each Applicable Employee who accepts employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and commences working for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall become a “Transferred Employee.” To the extent such offer of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates is not accepted, Sellers shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, terminate the employment of all such Applicable Employees. Nothing in this Section 6.17(a) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is understood that the intent of this Section 6.17(a) is to provide a seamless transition from Sellers to Purchaser of any Applicable Employee subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Except for Applicable Employees with non- standard individual agreements providing for severance benefits, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it shall provide to each Transferred Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and whose employment is involuntarily terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, severance benefits that are not less favorable than the severance benefits such Transferred Employee would have received under the applicable Benefit Plans listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary such that Transferred Employees shall be credited for their actual and credited service with Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (except in the case of a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees may commence participation after the Closing that is not an Assumed Plan), in any employee benefit plans (excluding equity compensation plans or programs) covering Transferred Employees after the Closing to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of any of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit to any such Transferred Employee or the funding for any such benefit. Such benefits shall not be subject to any exclusion for any pre-existing conditions to the extent such conditions were satisfied by such Transferred Employees under a Parent Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and credit shall be provided for any deductible or out-of-pocket amounts paid by such Transferred Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.
Employee Benefit Plans and Related Matters; ERISA (a) Section 4.17(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth as of the date of this Agreement a true and complete list of the material Parent Benefit Plans, including all Parent Benefit Plans subject to ERISA. With respect to each such material Parent Benefit Plan, Parent has made available to the Company a true and complete copy of such Parent Benefit Plan, if written, or a description of the material terms of such Parent Benefit Plan if not written, and to the extent applicable, (i) any proposed amendments, (ii) all trust agreements, insurance contracts or other funding arrangements, (iii) the most recent actuarial and trust reports for both ERISA funding and financial statement purposes, (iv) the most recent Form 5500 with all attachments required to have been filed with the IRS or the Department of Labor and all schedules thereto, (v) the most recent IRS determination or opinion letter, and (vi) all current summary plan descriptions.
Business Employees (a) Immediately prior to the Closing Date, but subject to the Closing, Seller shall terminate the employment of each Business Employee who is actively employed at the Business. Buyer shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) (i) continue the employment on and after the Closing Date of each Purchased Subsidiary Employee and (ii) on or prior to the Closing Date, make an offer of employment effective on the Closing Date to each Business Employee who is actively employed at the Business (each an “Active Employee”) on the terms set forth in this Section 7.01. For this purpose, a Business Employee will be considered “actively employed” if immediately prior to the Closing Date, they are absent from work on account of paid time-off, vacation, sick or personal leave, short-term disability, layoff for lack of work, authorized leave of absence, or military leave, but does not include any individual not actively at work due to retirement, resignation, permanent dismissal or long-term disability; provided that any offer by Buyer to employ any such Business Employee shall be effective only if such Business Employee commences active employment with Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries on a date that is not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (or the next applicable Business Day to the extent such date does not fall on a Business Day) or such longer period of time as required by Law. With respect to any Business Employee who is not an Active Employee but for whom Seller has an obligation to recall, rehire or otherwise return to employment under a contractual obligation or Law (each an “Inactive Employee”), Buyer shall offer employment to each such Inactive Employee effective on the first date such Inactive Employee is eligible to return to work or such date as such Inactive Employee first becomes eligible for employment, reemployment, reinstatement or reactivation, provided such date is not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing (or the next applicable Business Day to the extent such date does not fall on a Business Day) or such longer period of time as required by Law. Unless a written acceptance of an offer of employment is required by Law, a Business Employee who continues employment or who has received an offer of employment shall be deemed to have accepted such continuance or offer, unless such Business Employee specifically declines such continuance or offer. Purchased Subsidiary Employees and Business Employees who accept such offer of employment and who actually commence employment with Buyer (or a Subsidiary of Buyer) shall collectively be the “Transferred Employees”; provided that Inactive Employees shall not be considered a Transferred Employee until such Inactive Employee actually commences active employment with Buyer (or a Subsidiary of Buyer). Transferred Employees who are based primarily inside the United States shall collectively be the “U.S. Transferred Employees”.
