Related to First Territory Employee Matters
Employee Matters (a) As soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall take all reasonable action so that employees of Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in each Purchaser Benefit Plan of general applicability with the exception of any plan frozen to new participants (collectively, the “Purchaser Eligible Plans”) to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, it being understood that inclusion of the employees of Company and its Subsidiaries in the Purchaser Eligible Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans, provided that coverage shall be continued under corresponding Company Benefit Plans until such employees are permitted to participate in the Purchaser Eligible Plans and provided further, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of Company under any discretionary equity compensation plan of Purchaser or to provide the same level of (or any) employer contributions or other benefit subsidies as Company or its Subsidiaries. Purchaser shall cause each Purchaser Eligible Plan in which employees of Company and its Subsidiaries are eligible to participate, to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, and vesting of, benefits under the Purchaser Eligible Plans, the service of such employees with Company and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Company or its Subsidiaries, and, solely for purposes of Purchaser’s vacation programs, for purposes of determining the benefit amount, provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Except for the commitment to continue those Company Benefit Plans that correspond to Purchaser Eligible Plans until employees of Company and its Subsidiaries are included in such Purchaser Eligible Plans, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of Purchaser to amend or terminate any of the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with and to the extent permitted by their terms at any time permitted by such terms.
Employee Matters; Benefit Plans (a) Except as required by applicable Legal Requirements, the employment of each of the Acquired Corporations’ employees is terminable by the applicable Acquired Corporation at will.
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.

Labor and Employee Matters Seller is not a party to any employment or collective bargaining or similar agreements with the Designated Employees.
Business Employees Immediately after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall offer employment to each Business Employee set forth on Schedule 6.6(a). Buyer shall reimburse Seller for severance obligations (if any) arising as a result of the rejection of Buyer’s offer of employment by any Business Employee. Buyer shall cause each offer of employment to a Business Employee pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) to provide for (i) an annual salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable), (ii) annual and long-term bonus and incentive compensation opportunities (other than incentive compensation opportunities related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and (iii) employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements (collectively “Employment Terms”) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to Buyer’s employees in similar positions. In addition, Buyer may offer employment to the Business Employees set forth on Schedule 6.6(b), on terms to be mutually agreed upon, at the Buyer’s sole discretion. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for severance obligations (as set forth on Schedule 6.6(c)), actually paid by Sellers or Parent, arising as a result of the rejection of Buyer’s offer of employment by any Business Employee or arising as a result of Buyer’s failure to offer employment to any Business Employee if such Business Employee is terminated by Seller within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. Any Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be a “Transferred Employee.” Nothing herein shall restrict the right of Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date. Any reimbursement of severance obligations by Buyer to Seller, as set forth above, shall occur within ten (10) days of a reimbursement request from Seller.
Company Employees Each Party shall not, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, any employee of the other Party who has been directly involved in the performance of this Agreement during the Term and for one year after the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination of such individual's employment, with the other Party. It shall not be a violation of this provision if any employee responds to a Party's general advertisement of an open position.
