Probation for Newly Hired Employees (a) The Employer may reject a probationary employee for just cause. A rejection during probation shall not be considered a dismissal for the purpose of Article 11.2
Allocation of Liabilities (a) The parties agree that in the event that liabilities are incurred by any party hereto or any Subsidiary thereof directly relating to, arising out of or resulting from a final, non-appealable judgment being entered, or any settlement permitted hereby being entered into, in connection with the Lawsuit, such liabilities ("IRI Liabilities") shall be allocated among the parties as follows: (i) ACNielsen agrees to assume exclusive liability for the IRI Liabilities up to the ACN Maximum Amount; and (ii) Cognizant and D&B each agree to assume exclusive liability for 50% of any IRI Liabilities not payable by ACNielsen pursuant to this Agreement. (b) No later than five business days after the date on which any IRI Liabilities are incurred, ACNielsen shall give notice to each of Cognizant and D&B of the amount of such IRI Liabilities which ACNielsen will then pay (such amount, the "ACN Payment") and of the amount which ACNielsen has determined to be the ACN Maximum Amount, and ACNielsen will deliver the ACN Payment to Counsel of Record for delivery to the plaintiff in the Lawsuit. Each of Cognizant and D&B agrees to pay to the plaintiff in the Lawsuit on the Payment Date an amount equal to 50% of the excess (if any) of (x) the aggregate amount of the IRI Liabilities over (y) the ACN Payment (such amount, the "Cognizant/D&B Payment"). In the event Cognizant or D&B disputes or disagrees with ACNielsen's determination of the ACN Maximum Amount, the dispute shall be resolved and the ACN Maximum Amount determined as described in Section 2.2. (c) Upon the payment of the Cognizant/D&B Payment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, ACNielsen shall issue a note (an "ACN Note") to each of Cognizant and D&B. The principal amount of each ACN Note shall be equal to the Note Amount, as defined below, and each such ACN Note shall be in the form of Schedule A hereto. Interest on the Note Amount as finally determined for each ACN Note shall accrue at a rate equal to the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by The Chase Manhattan Bank as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City and shall be payable at maturity. For purposes hereof, the "Note Amount" of each Note shall initially be equal to the Cognizant/D&B Payment, provided, however, (i) that upon the determination of the ACN Maximum Amount, if the Note Amount is greater than 50% of the difference between the ACN Maximum Amount and the ACN Payment, then the Note Amount shall be reduced to and shall equal 50% of such difference, and (ii) that upon receipt of the aggregate amount of proceeds generated by any Recapitalization Plan (as defined below) upon completion thereof in accordance with the first sentence of Section 2.2(g), if the Note Amount (after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to clause (i)) is greater than 50% of the amount of such proceeds, then the Note Amount shall be reduced to and shall equal 50% of the amount of such proceeds. The Note Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be payable upon the earlier of (x) the completion of the Recapitalization Plan, provided, however, that if the Recapitalization Plan is structured to generate proceeds which are receivable by ACNielsen at different times without being contingent upon the completion of any other aspect of the Recapitalization Plan, then at each time that proceeds are so received, 50% of such proceeds shall be payable to each of Cognizant and D&B, and the receipt by Cognizant and D&B of their respective share of such proceeds shall reduce the then applicable Note Amount accordingly, and (y) the declaration by the Payee of an ACN Note (as defined therein) that such Note Amount and interest thereon are immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of such ACN Note upon determination being made under Section 2.2(g) hereof that ACNielsen has not exercised its good faith best efforts to implement the Recapitalization Plan as soon as practicable, or as otherwise provided by such ACN Note. (d) Immediately after the Payment Date, ACNielsen agrees to grant to, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries to grant to, Cognizant and D&B, as collateral security for the payment and performance of ACNielsen's obligations under the ACN Notes and otherwise to indemnify Cognizant and D&B against any IRI Liabilities as required by this Article II, a perfected first priority security interest in all of its tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, intellectual property, real property and all of the capital stock of each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and first-tier foreign subsidiaries), to the extent permitted by any other bona fide security or other similar agreements with third-parties not controlled by ACNielsen or any of its Affiliates, pursuant to such documents (the "Security Documents") as Cognizant and D&B shall deem reasonably necessary or advisable to grant to them a perfected first priority lien on such assets. Each of the Security Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Cognizant and D&B, shall contain terms and conditions which are usual and customary for similar documents delivered in secured financings and shall include guarantees executed and delivered by each of ACNielsen's Subsidiaries which shall be secured by the security interests granted by such Subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, ACNielsen agrees to take, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries to take, all actions necessary or advisable to cause the liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents to be duly perfected in accordance with all applicable requirements of law, including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be requested by Cognizant and D&B and the delivery to Cognizant and D&B (or their representative) of any certificates representing pledged stock, together with undated stock powers executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of ACNielsen or the relevant Subsidiary.
Certain Liabilities To the Borrower's actual knowledge, none of the present or previously owned or operated Property of the Borrower or any Guarantor or of any of their former Subsidiaries, wherever located: (i) has been placed on or proposed to be placed on the National Priorities List, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Information System list, or their state or local analogs, or have been otherwise investigated, designated, listed, or identified as a potential site for removal, remediation, cleanup, closure, restoration, reclamation, or other response activity under any Environmental Laws; (ii) is subject to a Lien, arising under or in connection with any Environmental Laws, that attaches to any revenues or to any Property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors, wherever located, which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change; or (iii) has been the site of any Release of Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Wastes from present or past operations which has caused at the site or at any third-party site any condition that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in the need for Response that would cause a Material Adverse Change.
Assets and Liabilities of Series All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof (including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be), shall be held and accounted for separately from the assets of every other Series and are referred to as "assets belonging to" that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall belong only to that Series for all purposes, and to no other Series, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Series. Any assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more Series as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series for all purposes, and such assets, earnings, income, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds thereof shall be referred to as assets belonging to that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall be so recorded upon the books of the Trust, and shall be held by the Trustees in trust for the benefit of the Shareholders of that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall be charged with the liabilities of that Series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Series, except that liabilities and expenses allocated solely to a particular Class shall be borne by that Class. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series or Class shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees between or among any one or more of the Series or Classes in such manner as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series or Classes for all purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the right of the Trustees to allocate general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves as herein provided, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series only, and not against the assets of any other Series. Notice of this contractual limitation on liabilities among Series may, in the Trustees' discretion, be set forth in the certificate of trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Act, and upon the giving of such notice in the certificate of trust, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on liabilities among Series (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each Series. Any person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against any Series may look only to the assets of that Series to satisfy or enforce any debt, with respect to that Series. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series shall have a claim on or any right to any assets allocated or belonging to any other Series.
Seller's Employees Purchaser will interview and evaluate in accordance with its normal employment procedures those Persons employed as field personnel in the capacity of pumper, foreman, operator, technician, mechanic, superintendent, repairman, utility man, or other similar field classifications by Seller in connection with the Subject Properties and identified by letter of even date herewith from Seller to Purchaser who desire to be considered for employment by Purchaser, and will offer in writing employment to those Persons for whom Purchaser in its sole discretion determines a need.

Persons offered employment with Purchaser will be offered employment at their current work location with compensation and benefits comparable to those provided to Purchaser's current employees performing similar tasks, or, if none, with compensation and benefits comparable to those provided by Seller Such offers shall be made prior to Closing, but shall be contingent upon the occurrence of Closing and such employment shall not commence until Closing. If any such Person employed by Purchaser is terminated by Purchaser within six (6) months of Closing, Purchaser shall pay such Person a severance benefit equal to the amount determined by multiplying each such employee's normal weekly wage by ten (10). Purchaser shall have no obligation under this Section 13.19 with respect to Persons offered employment by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.19 who decline such employment, except that the foregoing provisions shall apply to the extent that such Person accepts employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within twelve (12) months of Closing.
