Continuation of Welfare Benefits For the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits and other benefits and perquisites (including employee stay rates) substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater cost to the Executive than the cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6(a)(2) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by the Executive from another employer during the twenty-four (24) month period following the Executive's termination of employment; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.
Termination of 401(k) Plan The Company agrees to terminate its 401(k) plan immediately prior to the Closing, unless Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to sponsor and maintain such plan by providing the Company with notice of such election at least five days before the Effective Time.
Termination of Benefit Plans Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate all Company Employee Plans that are “employee benefit plans” subject to ERISA including any Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (unless Buyer provides written notice to the Company no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated). Unless Buyer provides such written notice to the Company, no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Buyer with evidence that such Company Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Buyer. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plan(s) as Buyer may reasonably require. In the event that termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Buyer no later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
Terminability of Welfare Plans No Employee Benefit Plan, which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of ss.3(1) or ss.3(2)(B) of ERISA, provides benefit coverage subsequent to termination of employment, except as required by Title I, Part 6 of ERISA or the applicable state insurance laws. The Borrower may terminate each such Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of the Borrower without liability to any Person other than for claims arising prior to termination.
Certain Benefits Executive will be eligible to participate in all employee benefit programs established by Employer that are applicable to management personnel such as medical, pension, disability and life insurance plans on a basis commensurate with Executive’s position and in accordance with Employer’s policies from time to time, but nothing herein shall require the adoption or maintenance of any such plan.
Certain Benefits Upon Termination Executive’s employment shall be terminated upon the earlier of (i) the voluntary resignation of Executive with or without Good Reason; (ii) Executive’s death or permanent disability; or (iii) upon the termination of Executive’s employment by LTC for any reason at any time. In the event of such termination, the below provisions of this Section 6 shall apply, and in the event of a Change in Control, whether or not Executive’s employment is terminated thereby, Section 6(b) shall apply.
DISAPPLICATION OF CERTAIN TERMINATION EVENTS The "Tax Event"
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.
Events Relating to Plans and Benefit Arrangements Any of the following occurs: (i) any Reportable Event, which the Agent determines in good faith constitutes grounds for the termination of any Plan by the PBGC or the appointment of a trustee to administer or liquidate any Plan, shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) proceedings shall have been instituted or other action taken to terminate any Plan, or a termination notice shall have been filed with respect to any Plan; (iii) a trustee shall be appointed to administer or liquidate any Plan; (iv) the PBGC shall give notice of its intent to institute proceedings to terminate any Plan or Plans or to appoint a trustee to administer or liquidate any Plan; and, in the case of the occurrence of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Agent determines in good faith that the amount of the Borrower's liability is likely to exceed 10% of its Consolidated Tangible Net Worth; (v) the Borrower or any member of the ERISA Group shall fail to make any contributions when due to a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan; (vi) the Borrower or any other member of the ERISA Group shall make any amendment to a Plan with respect to which security is required under Section 307 of ERISA; (vii) the Borrower or any other member of the ERISA Group shall withdraw completely or partially from a Multiemployer Plan; (viii) the Borrower or any other member of the ERISA Group shall withdraw (or shall be deemed under Section 4062(e) of ERISA to withdraw) from a Multiple Employer Plan; or (ix) any applicable Law is adopted, changed or interpreted by any Official Body with respect to or otherwise affecting one or more Plans, Multiemployer Plans or Benefit Arrangements and, with respect to any of the events specified in (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix), the Agent determines in good faith that any such occurrence would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the total enterprise represented by the Borrower and the other members of the ERISA Group;
Continued Welfare Benefits The Company shall, at its option, either (A) continue to provide medical, life insurance, accident insurance and disability benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents at least equal to the benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries generally to other active peer executives of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (B) pay Executive the cost of obtaining equivalent coverage, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), for a period of time commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. Any provision of benefits pursuant to this Section 4(a)(iii) in one (1) tax year of the Executive (the “Executive Tax Year”) shall not affect the amount of such benefits to be provided in any other Executive Tax Year. The right to such benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Executive agrees to make (and to cause his dependents to make) a timely election under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) to the extent requested by Employer, to facilitate Employer’s provision of continuation coverage.
