RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES 4.01 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an abridgement or restriction of any employee’s constitutional rights or of any right expressly conferred in an Act of the Parliament of Canada.
Employees (a) No later than 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the Agreement Date, Buyer shall provide Sellers a list of any Employees that Buyer would like to make an offer of employment (the “Offered Employees”). Between the Agreement Date and March 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), Buyer shall be permitted to add or remove Employees from the initial list of Offered Employees. Between March 1, 2023 and five (5) Business Days before the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to remove Employees in an amount that deviates no more than ten (10%) percent from the initial list of Offered Employees, as may have been revised on or before March 1, 2023. Each Offered Employee who accepts such offer shall be deemed a “Transferred Employee”). At a time mutually agreed by the Parties, Sellers shall deliver a notice to each of the Offered Employees (i) informing such Offered Employees about the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer, and (ii) terminating their employment with Sellers. Immediately following such notification, Buyer may send a notice to each of the Offered Employees describing their offer of employment by Xxxxx.
(b) By written notice to the Sellers no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer may, but shall not be required to, assume the sponsorship of such Seller Benefit Plans as selected by the Buyer (as an “Assumed Plan”). With respect to each Assumed Plan, Sellers shall take all actions necessary to effect the transfer of such sponsorship and all underlying trusts, insurance contracts and agreements of such Assumed Plan. With respect to each Assumed Plan, the Buyer shall be responsible for all liabilities accruing after the Closing (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall remain responsible for all liabilities accruing on or prior to the Closing).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx acknowledges that it will be responsible for all liabilities, obligations and claims arising out of the employment by Buyer of any Transferred Employee with respect to Xxxxx’s employment of such Transferred Employee on and after the date of employment of such Transferred Employee with Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Sellers shall make available COBRA (or equivalent) benefits for each Employee that is terminated on the Closing Date and not made an offer of employment by Buyer and Buyer shall have no obligations or liability in connection therewith.
(d) Seller shall provide Buyer such information as it reasonably requests to effect the provisions of this Section 6.15.
