Offer of Employment To the extent a Designated Employee is not party to an employment agreement with a Transferor that is a Transferred Contract, the Transferor Parties shall cooperate with the Acquiring Parties and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain on behalf of the Acquiring Parties the acceptance of an offer of employment by any Designated Employees that the Acquiring Parties may hereafter elect to employ, and the Transferor Parties consent to the Acquiring Parties or any of their respective Affiliates communicating directly with such Designated Employees about offers of employment commencing ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date or such earlier date as the Transferors may agree to in their sole discretion. The Acquiring Parties shall make offers of employment to the Designated Employees on terms and conditions to be determined by the Acquiring Parties, provided that each offer of employment is on terms and conditions substantially similar to, and, considered on an overall basis, no less favorable than the Designated Employee’s terms and conditions of employment with the Transferor Parties. The Acquiring Parties shall recognize each Designated Employee’s service with the Transferring Parties for the purposes of calculating all statutory entitlements and the Acquiring Parties shall assume liability for each Designated Employee’s accrued entitlement to annual leave, long service leave and personal leave. The Transferor Parties agree to release each Designated Employee from his or her employment effective from the date on which the Designated Employee will commence employment with the Acquiring Parties.

Except for obligations to the Transferors, to the Knowledge of the Transferors, the Principals are not obligated under or bound by any agreement or instrument, or any judgment, decree, or order of any court of administrative agency, that (a) conflicts or may conflict with their agreements and obligations to use their commercially reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Acquiring Parties, (b) conflicts or may conflict with the business or operations of the Acquiring Parties, or (c) restricts or may restrict the use or disclosure of any information that may be useful to the Acquiring Parties. Without regard to whether the Acquiror employs the Principals or the Designated Employees, the Transferors shall be solely responsible for all outstanding payments due to the Principals and the Designated Employees under their existing terms of employment with the Transferors (including but not limited to salary, severance obligations or any other payment, except as otherwise provided for in this Section 5.4) through the Closing Date and the Transferor Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Acquiring Parties shall assume or in any fashion be bound by any employment Contract between a Transferor and the Principals or a Designated Employee.
Outside Employment Employees may engage in other employment outside of their State working hours so long as the outside employment does not involve a conflict of interest with their State employment. Whenever it appears that any such outside employment might constitute a conflict of interest, the employee is expected to consult with his/her appointing authority or other appropriate agency representative prior to engaging in such outside employment. Employees of agencies where there are established procedures concerning outside employment for the purpose of insuring compliance with specific statutory restrictions on outside employment are expected to comply with such procedures.
