Purchaser's Plans. Sellers shall not in any manner be responsible for any liability, claim or obligation due under any such plan maintained by Purchaser.
Purchaser's Plans. Effective from and after the Closing (or, in the case of health insurance plans, the first day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs if the Closing occurs in a month other than November 2013, or if the Closing occurs in November 2013, from and after January 1, 2014), Purchaser shall cause each Transitioning Employee and his or her eligible dependents to become eligible to participate immediately in each employee welfare benefit plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries and each other benefit arrangement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser for the benefit of similarly situated employees of Purchaser (“Purchaser Health and Welfare Plans”). For purposes of each Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Transitioning Employee, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions, other than the pre-existing condition exclusion for transplants, and actively-at-work requirements of such plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents (“Seller Health and Welfare Plans”) in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Seller Health and Welfare Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan begins to be taken into account under such Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Purchaser Health and Welfare Plan. In addition, provided that Seller currently provides long term disability to the Timberland Employees, Purchaser agrees to ensure that Purchaser’s Long Term Disability Plan recognizes each Transitioning Employee’s years of employment service with Seller to the extent permitted by such Long Term Disability Plan.
Purchaser's Plans. Effective as of the Closing Date until January 1, 1999 Purchaser shall continue the same health plans currently provided by Seller to its employees with respect to each employee of Seller who is hired by Newco pursuant to Section 2.4(a) ("Transferring Employees"), and after January 1, 1999, Purchaser shall cause each Transferring Employee to be provided with benefits on a basis substantially similar to Purchaser's normal practice. Purchaser shall cause each Transferring Employee to be covered under a group health plan that (i) provides medical and dental benefits to the Transferring Employee, (ii) credits such Transferring Employee, for the year during which such coverage under such group health plan begins, with any deductibles and copayments already incurred during such year under the group health plan maintained by Seller listed on Schedule 3.13(a), and (iii) waives any preexisting condition restrictions to the extent necessary to provide immediate coverage and to the extent such restrictions did not apply under the group health plan maintained by Seller. Purchaser shall cause the employee benefit plans and programs maintained after the Closing by Purchaser to recognize each Transferring Employee's years of service and level of seniority prior to the Closing Date with Seller and its affiliates for purposes of terms of employment and eligibility, vesting and benefit determination under such plans and programs (other than benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan).
Purchaser's Plans. Effective from and after the first day after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause each Transitioning Employee and his or her eligible dependents to become eligible to participate immediately in each employee welfare benefit plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA) maintained, as of the Closing Date, by Purchaser and each other benefit arrangement maintained by Purchaser for the benefit of similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Purchaser shall cause each such welfare plan to: (i) recognize the 1998 co-payments and deductible expenses of the Transitioning Employees and their eligible dependents incurred under those plans that are health benefit plans, and (ii) waive all pre-existing condition exclusions and limitations of the Transitioning Employees and their eligible dependents. (c)
Purchaser's Plans. Purchaser shall furnish Sellers copies of all of its plans referred to in this Section 12 as soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days after the later of the date the plan is executed or the date a former employee of Sellers is covered under the plan.
Purchaser's Plans. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide welfare benefits to Employees under welfare benefit plans maintained by Purchaser (the "PURCHASER'S WELFARE PLANS"). Purchaser's Welfare Plans shall provide Employees with either (a) welfare benefits substantially similar to those provided under Parent's Welfare Plans immediately prior to the Closing or (b) welfare benefits that are substantially similar to those provided to Purchaser's similarly situated employees. Purchaser will credit the Employees for their service with Parent, its Affiliates, the Companies (and any predecessors) for purposes of eligibility, benefit accruals, waiting periods or other qualification or eligibility for any benefit or privilege, under Purchaser's Welfare Plans in which Employees are allowed to participate after the Closing, and any applicable vacation or severance policies or programs, but not to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. The Employees will be allowed by Purchaser to participate in Purchaser's Plans without being subject to any waiting periods or any restrictions or limitations for pre-existing conditions, except to the extent any such Employee has not satisfied any corresponding applicable waiting period, or limitation under the Company Benefit Plans. Purchaser's Welfare Plans shall credit each Employee (including any spouses and dependents) with the amount, if any, paid during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs under the Company Benefit Plans towards deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums.

Purchaser's Plans. Purchaser will make available to the Transferred Employees who accept employment with Purchaser such benefits as Purchaser determines in its sole discretion, subject to such eligibility requirements as are determined by Purchaser to be applicable to such benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the right of Purchaser or its affiliates, at any time and from time to time, to amend, modify or terminate, in whole or in part, any of the employee benefits plans of Purchaser, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by law, and Purchaser hereby reserves such right.
