Compensation and Employee Benefits SECTION 13.01.
Employee Benefit Plans and Compensation (a) For purposes of this Section 2.22, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
Employee Benefits and Perquisites During the Employment Term, the Executive will be entitled to (i) participate in all employee benefit plans, programs, arrangements or policies that are from time to time made available by the Company generally to its senior executives, including, without limitation, the Company’s life insurance, long-term disability, and health plans (“Employee Benefits”); and (ii) the perquisites and other fringe benefits that are from time to time made available by the Company generally to its senior executives and to such perquisites and fringe benefits that are from time to time made available by the Company to the Executive in particular, subject to any applicable terms and conditions of any specific perquisite or other fringe benefit; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Company to adopt, maintain or provide any particular plan, program, arrangement, policy, perquisite or fringe benefit. The Executive shall be required to comply with the conditions attendant to coverage by such plans and shall comply with and be entitled to benefits only in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans as they may be amended from time to time. The Executive agrees to cooperate and participate in any medical or physical examinations as may be required in connection with the applications for such life and/or disability insurance policies.
Employee Benefits Matters promptly, and in any event within 5 days after a Responsible Officer becoming aware of any of the following, a written notice setting forth the nature thereof and the action, if any, that the Company or an ERISA Affiliate proposes to take with respect thereto:
Certain Employee Benefits In the event that Acquiror discontinues any Company Benefit Plans for the benefit of Continuing Employees and replaces them with new benefit plans, programs or arrangements or Acquiror Benefit Plans, Acquiror shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cause each such plan, program or arrangement to treat such Continuing Employee in the same manner as similarly situated employees of Acquiror and treat the prior service with the Company of each Continuing Employee (to the same extent such service is recognized under any analogous plans, programs or arrangements of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time to the extent such a plan, program or arrangement is in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time) as service rendered to Acquiror or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, solely for purposes of eligibility to participate and for vesting thereunder (but not for purposes of benefit accruals under a defined benefit plan). To the extent commercially reasonable, Acquiror and its Subsidiaries will cause any and all preexisting condition limitations (to the extent applicable) and eligibility waiting periods, under any health plans maintained or adopted by Acquiror or its Subsidiaries in which Covered Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, to be waived with respect to (a) Continuing Employees who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, participated in a Company- sponsored health plan and (b) their eligible dependents. Acquiror and its Subsidiaries will make commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, for purposes of any annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its existing or any new health plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees and their dependents during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs under the health plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall 61 61 prevent Acquiror from amending or terminating any Company Benefit Plans or Acquiror Benefit Plans (or its Subsidiaries) or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or understandings, in accordance with their terms and applicable law; providing, however, that the arrangements identified in Section 5.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be administered as described therein. No Continuing Employee who participates in any Acquiror Benefit Plan as of the date of this Agreement shall be adversely affected by the provisions of this section 5.11, other than the preservation of the rights of Acquiror or its Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plans or Acquiror Benefit Plans or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or understandings, as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
Additional Employee Benefits Executive will receive an annual grant of 208 hours of credit (or such higher number of hours as are credited to Corporation’s other senior executives) under Corporation’s Personal Time Off (PTO) program. Personal time off and vacation may be taken in accordance with Corporation’s rules, practices, and policies applicable to Corporation’s senior executive employees, as such rules, practices, and policies may be revised from time to time by the Board or the Committee. During the Term, Executive will be entitled to any other employee benefits approved by the Board or the Committee, or available to officers and other management employees generally, including any life and medical insurance plans, 401(k) and other similar plans, and health and welfare plans, each whether now existing or hereafter approved by the Board or the Committee (“Benefit Plans”). The foregoing will not be construed to require Corporation to establish any such plans or to prevent Corporation from modifying or terminating any such Benefit Plans.
Employee Benefits Plans Schedule 6.11 hereto identifies each ERISA Plan as of the Closing Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan. No Controlled Group member has failed to make a required material installment or other required material payment under Section 412(a) of the Code on or before the due date or within a reasonable time after such due date. No Controlled Group member has failed to make contributions to an ERISA Plan that is a Multiemployer Plan in accordance with the applicable governing documents which is reasonably likely to result in a material liability to the Controlled Group member. No Benefit Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) has any accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 412(a) of the Code). None of the Companies have adopted or plans to adopt any amendments that could reasonably result in a material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan. With respect to each ERISA Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply (or as soon as reasonably practicable are corrected to comply) with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial amendment period” has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), subject to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”; and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employees Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets by an amount that would have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Foreign Employee Benefit Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for Foreign Employee Benefit Plan. With respect to any Foreign Employee Benefit Plan, reasonable reserves have been established in accordance with local laws or prudent business practice or where required by ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which Foreign Employee Benefit Plan is maintained.
Compensation and Fringe Benefits (a) The Company shall, during the Term of Employment, pay to the Executive as compensation for the performance of his duties and obligations a salary of $240,000 per annum. This compensation is subject to annual review and adjustment, as appropriate in the judgment of the Company. The compensation payable pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be payable in equal semi-monthly installments on the last day of each such pay period.
Other Employee Benefits In addition to the foregoing, during the Employment Term, the Employee will be entitled to participate in and to receive benefits as a senior executive under all of the Company’s employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements available to senior executives, subject to the eligibility criteria and other terms and conditions thereof, as such plans, programs and arrangements may be duly amended, terminated, approved or adopted by the Board from time to time.
