Labor and Employee Matters (a) Section 3.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and correct list of each Benefit Plan.
Employee Matters Prior to Closing, each party shall deliver to the other a list of employees of its stations that it does not intend to retain after Closing. The acquiring party may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other employees of the conveying party. The acquiring party is obligated to hire only those employees that are under employment contracts (and assume the obligations and liabilities under such employment contracts) which are included in the Clear Channel Station Contracts or Exchange Party Station Contracts. With respect to employees potentially to be hired by the acquiring party, to the extent permitted by law the conveying party shall provide access to its personnel records and such other information as may be reasonably requested prior to Closing. With respect to employees hired by the acquiring party ("Transferred Employees"), the conveying party shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and accrued employee benefits payable by it until Closing and thereafter the acquiring party shall be responsible for all such obligations payable by it. The acquiring party shall cause all Transferred Employees to be eligible to participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in which the acquiring party's similarly-situated employees are generally eligible to participate; provided, however, that all Transferred Employees and their spouses and dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately after Closing (and shall not be excluded from coverage under any employee welfare benefit plan that is a group health plan on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent provided under such employee welfare benefit plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of service in any such employee welfare benefit plans for which Transferred Employees may be eligible after Closing, the acquiring party shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code), that service with the conveying party shall be deemed to have been service with the acquiring party. No such service credit must be granted with respect to participation or eligibility in any employee pension benefit plan. In addition, the acquiring party shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code), that Transferred Employees receive credit under any welfare benefit plan of the acquiring party for any deductibles or co-payments paid by Transferred Employees and their spouses and dependents for the current plan year under a plan maintained by the conveying party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the acquiring party shall grant credit for all unused sick leave accrued by Transferred Employees on the basis of their service during the current calendar year as employees of the conveying party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the acquiring party shall assume and discharge the conveying party's liabilities for the payment of all unused vacation leave accrued by Transferred Employees on the basis of their service during the current calendar year as employees of the conveying party. From and after Closing, Exchange Party shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of Clear Channel to continue to withhold from the pay checks of Transferred Employees who have outstanding loan balances in Clear Channel's 401(k) Savings Plan, and Exchange Party shall remit such withheld amounts to Clear Channel in a timely fashion such that the outstanding loans do not go into default.
Income Tax Matters (i) In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Participant, are withheld or collected from Participant.
Transitional Matters (a) From and after Closing, Sellers shall retain full right and authority to use, enforce, pursue remedies and take actions with respect to any of the Excluded Assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the other representations in this Section 2.12, all references to Company Employee Plan shall include arrangements that would be listed in this Section 2.12(a) but for the “material” qualifiers in (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v), and shall include plans that are mandated by a Governmental Entity, but sponsored or contributed to by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof.

Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which such Creditor Party makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such taxes or other taxes.
