Health Reimbursement Account. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05(e) of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Closing Date has not occurred as of April 1, 2016, Vistana Employees will cease to participate in the Starwood HRA as of such date, and Vistana shall establish a new health reimbursement account (the “Vistana HRA”) for the benefit of Vistana Employees. The Vistana HRA shall have similar terms and provide the same level of benefits as the Starwood HRA, and shall be subject to the review and approval of ILG prior to its adoption which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In connection with providing the same level of benefits, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Vistana HRA shall provide that the account balances for each Vistana Employee who is a participant under the Vistana HRA shall be increased by any balance that still remains under the Starwood HRA for such participant after the end of the run out period under the Starwood HRA for paying claims incurred in the 2015-2016 plan year to the same extent as such amount would have remained available for such participant’s use under the Starwood HRA during the 2016-2017 plan year. In the event the foregoing applies, references in the Employee Matters Agreement to the “ILG HRA” shall be deemed to be references to the new Vistana HRA, and the Vistana HRA shall be deemed a Vistana Benefit Plan for purposes of the Merger Agreement. In the event the Vistana HRA is established pursuant to this Section 1.07, (i) Starwood shall be responsible for all liabilities with respect to any Vistana Employee or Former Vistana Employee and their dependents, regardless of when such claims are filed and/or paid under the Starwood HRA, and (ii) Vistana shall be responsible for all liabilities with respect to any Vistana Employee or Former Vistana Employee and their dependents, regardless of when such claims are filed, under the Vistana HRA with respect to all claims incurred on or after April 1, 2016.
