Nonsolicitation of Protected Employees Executive understands and agrees that the relationship between the Company and each of its Protected Employees constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and may not be converted to Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly on Executive’s own behalf or as a Principal or Representative of any Person or otherwise solicit or induce any Protected Employee to terminate his employment relationship with the Company or to enter into employment with any other Person.
Nonsolicitation of Employees and Customers At all times while ------------------------------------------ the Executive is employed by the Company and for the two (2) year period immediately following the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or for or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity (a) employ or attempt to employ or solicit the termination of employment of or enter into any contractual arrangement with any employee or former employee of the Company, unless such employee or former employee has not been employed by the Company for a period in excess of six (6) months, and/or (b) call on or solicit any of the actual or targeted prospective customers or clients of the Company (or of its physician practices or laboratories) on behalf of any person or entity in connection with any business that competes with the Company's business, nor shall the Executive make known the names and/or addresses of such employees, customers or clients or any information relating in any manner to the Company's trade or business relationships with such employees, customers or clients, other than in connection with the performance of Executive's duties under this Agreement.
Employees and Benefits (a) As of the Closing, Seller shall terminate the employment of all of its Employees identified on Schedule 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Subject Employees”). Schedule 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule hereto may be amended from time to time prior to the Closing to (i) delete any individuals who are no longer employed by Seller or (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller, add or remove any other individuals. Purchaser, in cooperation with Seller, shall, at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, extend a written offer of employment to those employees selected by Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Selected Employees”), at a level and with responsibilities that are substantially commensurate with their employment with Seller and at a wage or salary and other compensation not less than the respective wages or salaries and other compensation specified for such Selected Employees on Schedule 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule. Those Selected Employees who accept offers of employment with Purchaser and who become employees of Purchaser as of the Closing Date are referred to as “Transferred Employees.” Purchaser agrees that in the event that it determines that it may not offer employment to sufficient numbers of employees to avoid the notice and other requirements of the WARN Act, Purchaser will give Seller immediate notice thereof which will be sufficiently in advance of the Closing of the purchase of the Business that Seller will be able to comply with the notice requirements of the WARN Act and Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any liability or obligations under the WARN Act if Purchaser should fail to do so or if Seller otherwise incurs liability under the WARN Act as a result of Purchaser’s actions in connection with this transaction.
Nonsolicitation of Company’s Employees Executive agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s business by soliciting, encouraging or attempting to hire any of Company’s employees or causing others to solicit or encourage any of Company’s employees to discontinue their employment with Company.
Employment Policies The employment relationship between the parties shall also be governed by the general employment policies and practices of the Company, including those relating to protection of confidential information and assignment of inventions, except that when the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the Company’s general employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

Buyer will treat, and cause its applicable benefit plans to treat, the service of the Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as service rendered to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for level of benefits including, but not limited to, severance benefits, vacation entitlement and applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan (including minimum pension amount) and not for participation in the Brookline Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan) attributable to any period before the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions of Buyer's health and similar plans, Buyer shall not treat any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a "new" employee for purposes of any exclusions under any health or similar plan of Buyer for a pre-existing medical condition to the extent that any such exclusion did not apply under a health or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses paid under any of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' health plans shall be credited towards deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses under Buyer's health plans upon delivery to Buyer of appropriate documentation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Buyer Employee Program.

If Purchaser offers employment to any of the Business Employees effective as of the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, such offer shall be not less than the salary in effect for such Business Employee on the date of this Agreement and with benefits that are not less than those generally available to Purchasers' employees on the date of this Agreement.
