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 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.

Compensation and Related Matters During the Term of the Executive’s employment, as compensation and consideration for the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s duties, responsibilities and covenants pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive and the Executive agrees to accept in full payment for such performance the amounts and benefits set forth below.

Those employees of the Acquired Corporations that continue to be employees of Parent or any of its affiliates, including the Acquired Corporations, following the Closing (the "Continuing Employees") and, if applicable, their eligible dependents, shall, subject to any necessary transition period and the terms of such plans, be immediately eligible to participate in Parent's health, vacation, employee stock purchase, 401(k) and other plans, to the same extent as comparably situated employees of Parent. Each such Continuing Employee shall receive credit under Parent's employee benefit plans for purposes of eligibility to participate under such plans for years of service with the Acquired Corporations prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations and evidence of insurability requirements under any group health plans of Parent in which such employees and, if applicable, their eligible dependents shall participate to be waived and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide credit for any co-payments and deductibles prior to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying any applicable deduction, out-of-pocket or similar requirements under any such plans that may apply after the Closing Date.

Employment Relations The Company is in compliance with all Federal, state or other applicable laws, domestic or foreign, respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, and has not and is not engaged in any unfair labor practice.
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.
Employee and Related Matters (a) Following the Effective Time, MB shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans for the benefit of employees (as a group) who are employees of TCG and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date ("Covered Employees") that provide employee benefits which, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable (and equivalent) to the employee benefits that are made available on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis to similarly situated employees of MB or its Subsidiaries (other than TCG and its Subsidiaries), as applicable; provided that (i) in no event shall any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any closed or frozen plan of MB or its Subsidiaries; and (ii) until such time as MB shall cause Covered Employees to participate in the benefit plans that are made available to similarly situated employees of MB or its Subsidiaries (other than TCG and its Subsidiaries), a Covered Employee's continued participation in employee benefit plans of TCG or its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this sentence (it being understood that participation in the MB Benefit Plans may commence at different times with respect to each MB Benefit Plan). To the extent that a Covered Employee becomes eligible to participate in a MB Benefit Plan, MB shall cause such MB Benefit Plan to recognize years of prior service from the date of the most recent hire of such Covered Employee with TCG or its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and, except under any plan that determines benefits on an actuarial basis, for benefit accrual, but only to the extent that such service was recognized immediately prior to the Closing Date under a comparable TCG Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that such recognition of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service.
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.
