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 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.
Compensation; Employment Agreements; Etc Enter into or amend or renew any employment, consulting, severance or similar agreements or arrangements with any of its directors, officers or employees or those of its subsidiaries or grant any salary or wage increase or increase any employee benefit (including incentive or bonus payments), except (1) for normal individual increases in compensation to employees (other than executive officers or directors) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (2) for other changes that are required by applicable law and (3) to satisfy Previously Disclosed contractual obligations.
Employees; Employee Benefit Plans (a) Section 5.11(a) of the TD Banknorth Disclosure Schedule contains a true and complete list of each “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of ERISA, including multiemployer plans within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(37)), stock purchase, stock option, severance, employment, loan, change-in-control, fringe benefit, collective bargaining, bonus, incentive, deferred compensation and all other employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies or other arrangements, whether or not subject to ERISA (including any funding mechanism therefor now in effect or required in the future as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise) under which any current or former employee, director or independent contractor of TD Banknorth or any of its Subsidiaries has any present or future right to benefits and under which TD Banknorth or any of its Subsidiaries has any present or future liability. All such plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements shall be collectively referred to as the “TD Banknorth Benefit Plans.”
Compensation Following Termination of Employment In the event that Executive's employment hereunder is terminated, Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits upon such termination:
Post-Agreement Employment In the event the Executive remains in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates following termination of this Agreement, by the expiration of the Term or otherwise, then such employment shall be at will.
Employee Matters Prior to Closing, each party shall deliver to the other a list of employees of its stations that it does not intend to retain after Closing. The acquiring party may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other employees of the conveying party. The acquiring party is obligated to hire only those employees that are under employment contracts (and assume the obligations and liabilities under such employment contracts) which are included in the Clear Channel Station Contracts or Exchange Party Station Contracts. With respect to employees potentially to be hired by the acquiring party, to the extent permitted by law the conveying party shall provide access to its personnel records and such other information as may be reasonably requested prior to Closing. With respect to employees hired by the acquiring party ("Transferred Employees"), the conveying party shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and accrued employee benefits payable by it until Closing and thereafter the acquiring party shall be responsible for all such obligations payable by it. The acquiring party shall cause all Transferred Employees to be eligible to participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in which the acquiring party's similarly-situated employees are generally eligible to participate; provided, however, that all Transferred Employees and their spouses and dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately after Closing (and shall not be excluded from coverage under any employee welfare benefit plan that is a group health plan on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent provided under such employee welfare benefit plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of service in any such employee welfare benefit plans for which Transferred Employees may be eligible after Closing, the acquiring party shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code), that service with the conveying party shall be deemed to have been service with the acquiring party. No such service credit must be granted with respect to participation or eligibility in any employee pension benefit plan. In addition, the acquiring party shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code), that Transferred Employees receive credit under any welfare benefit plan of the acquiring party for any deductibles or co-payments paid by Transferred Employees and their spouses and dependents for the current plan year under a plan maintained by the conveying party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the acquiring party shall grant credit for all unused sick leave accrued by Transferred Employees on the basis of their service during the current calendar year as employees of the conveying party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the acquiring party shall assume and discharge the conveying party's liabilities for the payment of all unused vacation leave accrued by Transferred Employees on the basis of their service during the current calendar year as employees of the conveying party. From and after Closing, Exchange Party shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of Clear Channel to continue to withhold from the pay checks of Transferred Employees who have outstanding loan balances in Clear Channel's 401(k) Savings Plan, and Exchange Party shall remit such withheld amounts to Clear Channel in a timely fashion such that the outstanding loans do not go into default.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan The Executive shall participate in the Company's Unfunded Pension Plan for Selected Executives (the "SERP").
