Prior to Closing Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of employees of the Stations that Seller does not intend to retain after Closing. Buyer may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other employees of Seller. Buyer is obligated to hire only those employees that are under employment contracts (and assume Seller's obligations and liabilities under such employment contracts) which are included in the Station Contracts. With respect to employees hired by Buyer ("Transferred Employees"), to the extent permitted by law Seller shall provide Buyer access to its personnel records and such other information as Buyer may reasonably request prior to Closing. With respect to such hired employees, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and accrued employee benefits payable by it until Closing and thereafter Buyer shall be responsible for all such obligations payable by it. Buyer shall cause all employees it hires to be eligible to participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(l) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in which similarly situated employees are generally eligible to participate; provided, however, that all such employees and their spouses and dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately after Closing (and shall not be excluded from coverage on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent provided under such plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of service in any such plan for which such employees may be eligible after Closing, Buyer shall ensure that service with Seller shall be deemed to have been service with the Buyer. In addition, Buyer shall ensure that each such employee receives credit under any welfare benefit plan of Buyer for any deductibles or co- payments paid by such employees and dependents for the current plan year under a plan maintained by Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall grant credit to each such employee for all unused sick leave accrued as of Closing as an employee of Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall assume and discharge Seller's liabilities for the payment of all unused vacation leave accrued by such employees as of Closing.
