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.
Key Employee Key employee means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the plan year that includes the determination date was an officer of the employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for plan years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the employer, or a 1-percent owner of the employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code.

Business Employees (a) Immediately prior to the Closing Date, but subject to the Closing, Seller shall terminate the employment of each Business Employee who is actively employed at the Business. Buyer shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) (i) continue the employment on and after the Closing Date of each Purchased Subsidiary Employee and (ii) on or prior to the Closing Date, make an offer of employment effective on the Closing Date to each Business Employee who is actively employed at the Business (each an “Active Employee”) on the terms set forth in this Section 7.01. For this purpose, a Business Employee will be considered “actively employed” if immediately prior to the Closing Date, they are absent from work on account of paid time-off, vacation, sick or personal leave, short-term disability, layoff for lack of work, authorized leave of absence, or military leave, but does not include any individual not actively at work due to retirement, resignation, permanent dismissal or long-term disability; provided that any offer by Buyer to employ any such Business Employee shall be effective only if such Business Employee commences active employment with Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries on a date that is not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (or the next applicable Business Day to the extent such date does not fall on a Business Day) or such longer period of time as required by Law. With respect to any Business Employee who is not an Active Employee but for whom Seller has an obligation to recall, rehire or otherwise return to employment under a contractual obligation or Law (each an “Inactive Employee”), Buyer shall offer employment to each such Inactive Employee effective on the first date such Inactive Employee is eligible to return to work or such date as such Inactive Employee first becomes eligible for employment, reemployment, reinstatement or reactivation, provided such date is not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing (or the next applicable Business Day to the extent such date does not fall on a Business Day) or such longer period of time as required by Law. Unless a written acceptance of an offer of employment is required by Law, a Business Employee who continues employment or who has received an offer of employment shall be deemed to have accepted such continuance or offer, unless such Business Employee specifically declines such continuance or offer. Purchased Subsidiary Employees and Business Employees who accept such offer of employment and who actually commence employment with Buyer (or a Subsidiary of Buyer) shall collectively be the “Transferred Employees”; provided that Inactive Employees shall not be considered a Transferred Employee until such Inactive Employee actually commences active employment with Buyer (or a Subsidiary of Buyer). Transferred Employees who are based primarily inside the United States shall collectively be the “U.S. Transferred Employees”.
