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.
