Certain Employees (a) Each of the following is included in the list of agreements set forth in the Disclosure Schedule: all collective bargaining agreements, employment and consulting agreements, bonus plans, deferred compensation plans, employee pension plans or retirement plans, employee profit-sharing plans, employee stock purchase and stock option plans, hospitalization insurance, and other plans and arrangements providing for employee benefits of employees of the Seller.
Certain Employee Matters (a) Seller and the Acquired Companies shall take such action as is necessary such that the Acquired Companies shall, as of the Closing Date, cease being “participating employers” and shall cease any co-sponsorship and participation in each Seller Plan that is jointly adopted, sponsored or maintained by Seller and an Acquired Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.6, the Acquired Companies shall have no further liability and Seller shall retain all liabilities with respect to claims incurred under any such Seller Plan prior to the Closing Date, whether such claims are made prior to, on or after the Closing Date. For this purpose claims under any medical, dental, vision, or prescription drug plan, generally will be deemed to be incurred on the date that the service giving rise to such claim is performed and not when such claim is made; provided, however, that with respect to claims relating to hospitalization the claim will be deemed to be incurred on the first day of such hospitalization and not on the date that such services are performed. Claims for disability under any long or short term disability plan shall be incurred on the date the employee or former employee is first absent from work because of the condition giving rise to such disability and not when the employee or former employee is determined to be eligible for benefits under the applicable Seller Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall retain all liabilities under all Seller Plans, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.6. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall retain all liabilities with respect to equity or equity-based awards under any Plan. Seller shall provide any continuation coverage required under Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or applicable state Law (“COBRA”) to each “qualified beneficiary” as that term is defined in COBRA whose first “qualifying event” (as defined in COBRA) occurs on or prior to the Closing Date. The Acquired Companies shall retain responsibility for all accrued but unused vacation pay for each of their respective Acquired Company Employees (other than any Bank Channel Employees who become Acquired Company Employees). As soon as practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list setting forth, with respect to each Acquired Company Employee (other than any Bank Channel Employee who becomes an Acquired Company Employee) the number of days of accrued but unused vacation as of the Closing Date.
Certain Employee Payments The Company is not a party to any employment agreement which could result in the payment to any current, former or future director or employee of the Company of any money or other property or rights or accelerate or provide any other rights or benefits to any such employee or director as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not (i) such payment, acceleration or provision would constitute a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), or (ii) some other subsequent action or event would be required to cause such payment, acceleration or provision to be triggered.
Certain Employee Benefits In the event that Acquiror discontinues any Company Benefit Plans for the benefit of Continuing Employees and replaces them with new benefit plans, programs or arrangements or Acquiror Benefit Plans, Acquiror shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cause each such plan, program or arrangement to treat such Continuing Employee in the same manner as similarly situated employees of Acquiror and treat the prior service with the Company of each Continuing Employee (to the same extent such service is recognized under any analogous plans, programs or arrangements of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time to the extent such a plan, program or arrangement is in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time) as service rendered to Acquiror or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, solely for purposes of eligibility to participate and for vesting thereunder (but not for purposes of benefit accruals under a defined benefit plan). To the extent commercially reasonable, Acquiror and its Subsidiaries will cause any and all preexisting condition limitations (to the extent applicable) and eligibility waiting periods, under any health plans maintained or adopted by Acquiror or its Subsidiaries in which Covered Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, to be waived with respect to (a) Continuing Employees who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, participated in a Company- sponsored health plan and (b) their eligible dependents. Acquiror and its Subsidiaries will make commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, for purposes of any annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its existing or any new health plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees and their dependents during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs under the health plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall 61 61 prevent Acquiror from amending or terminating any Company Benefit Plans or Acquiror Benefit Plans (or its Subsidiaries) or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or understandings, in accordance with their terms and applicable law; providing, however, that the arrangements identified in Section 5.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be administered as described therein. No Continuing Employee who participates in any Acquiror Benefit Plan as of the date of this Agreement shall be adversely affected by the provisions of this section 5.11, other than the preservation of the rights of Acquiror or its Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plans or Acquiror Benefit Plans or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or understandings, as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
Business Employees Immediately after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall offer employment to each Business Employee set forth on Schedule 6.6(a). Buyer shall reimburse Seller for severance obligations (if any) arising as a result of the rejection of Buyer’s offer of employment by any Business Employee. Buyer shall cause each offer of employment to a Business Employee pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) to provide for (i) an annual salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable), (ii) annual and long-term bonus and incentive compensation opportunities (other than incentive compensation opportunities related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and (iii) employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements (collectively “Employment Terms”) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to Buyer’s employees in similar positions. In addition, Buyer may offer employment to the Business Employees set forth on Schedule 6.6(b), on terms to be mutually agreed upon, at the Buyer’s sole discretion. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for severance obligations (as set forth on Schedule 6.6(c)), actually paid by Sellers or Parent, arising as a result of the rejection of Buyer’s offer of employment by any Business Employee or arising as a result of Buyer’s failure to offer employment to any Business Employee if such Business Employee is terminated by Seller within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. Any Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be a “Transferred Employee.” Nothing herein shall restrict the right of Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date. Any reimbursement of severance obligations by Buyer to Seller, as set forth above, shall occur within ten (10) days of a reimbursement request from Seller.
Former Employees Newco shall have no Liability with respect to (1) Former Employees or (2) as provided in the Transaction Agreement, former employees of JBG or its Affiliates who had a termination event on or prior to the Closing, in each case, regardless of when such Liability arises. Vornado shall retain Liability, if any, with respect to Former
Non-U.S. Employees If the Executive is a foreign national, located outside the United States, not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, the Committee may apply or interpret the terms and conditions of this Award in a manner that, in the Committee’s judgment, may be necessary or desirable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.
Active Employees At or before the Effective Time, New Ceridian shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, employ or continue to employ each New Ceridian Employee who, at the time such action is taken, is actively employed. Any employment agreement between New Ceridian and such an employee shall (i) supersede any employment agreement between such employee and the Corporation and (ii) release the Media Information Indemnitees from all Liabilities and responsibility with respect to any Employment Related Claims arising prior to the Effective Time or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Distribution Agreement. Any employment agreement between the Corporation and a New Ceridian Employee shall, as of the Effective Time and subject to any contrary provisions of such agreement, be deemed to be assigned to New Ceridian.
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.
