Welfare Plans (a) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee welfare benefit plans of Buyer and its affiliates providing benefits to any Acquired Employees after the Closing (the “New Welfare Plans” ), each Acquired Employee shall subject to applicable Law and applicable tax qualification requirements be credited with his or her years of service with Knight Ridder or its affiliates, including the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, before the Closing, to the same extent as such Acquired Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plan in which such Acquired Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) each Acquired Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Welfare Plans if such Acquired Employee participated immediately before the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a comparable type of welfare benefit plan of a Seller Entity (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans” ), and (B) for purposes of each New Welfare Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Acquired Employee, Buyer, or, as applicable, an Acquired Company, shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Welfare Plan to be waived for such Acquired Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of Knight Ridder or its affiliates, including the Acquired Companies and their Subsidiaries, in which such Acquired Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing and Buyer shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Welfare Plan begins to be taken into account under such New 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 New Welfare Plan.
Savings Plans Employee shall be entitled to participate in Employer’s 401(k) plan, or other retirement or savings plans as are made available to Employer’s other executives and officers and on the same terms which are available to Employer’s other executives and officers.
Option Plans There is no share option plan or similar plan to acquire any additional shares or units or other equity interests, as the case may be, of IEM or securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for, or which otherwise confer on the holder thereof any right to acquire, any such additional shares or units or equity interests, as the case may be.
Equity Plans Executive shall be entitled to participate in any equity or other employee benefit plan that is generally available to senior executive officers, as distinguished from general management, of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Executive’s participation in and benefits under any such plan shall be on the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the governing document of the particular plan.
Pension and Welfare Plans During the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the Closing Date and prior to the date of any Credit Extension hereunder, no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan, and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which might reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by the Borrowers or any member of the Controlled Group of any material liability, fine or penalty. Except as disclosed in Item 6.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither any Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA.
Benefits Plans During the Employment Period, You will be eligible to participate in all benefit plans in effect for executives and employees of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans.
Distribution Plans You shall also be entitled to compensation for your services as provided in any Distribution Plan adopted as to any series and class of any Fund’s Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The compensation provided in any such Distribution Plan (a “12b-1 Plan”) may be divided into a distribution fee and a service fee, as set forth in such Plan and the Fund’s then current prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”), each of which is compensation for different services to be rendered to the Fund. Subject to the termination provisions in a 12b-1 Plan, any distribution fee with respect to the sale of a Share subject to such Plan shall be earned when such Share is sold and shall be payable from time to time as provided in the 12b-1 Plan. The distribution fee payable to you as provided in any 12b-1 Plan shall be payable without offset, defense or counterclaim (it being understood by the parties hereto that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed a waiver by the Fund of any claim the Fund may have against you).
Company Plans Section 1.10(a),.................... 5 Company..........................................................................
Commercialization Plans As soon as practicable after formation of the JCC (following Acucela’s exercise of an Opt-In Right under Section 3.1), the JCC shall prepare and approve the initial Commercialization Plan for Commercialization of the Licensed Product for the Initial Indication in the Initial Formulation (and, if applicable, any New Formulation or Other Indication Product) in the Territory. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that such initial Commercialization Plan for Commercialization of the Licensed Product for the Initial Indication in the Initial Formulation is consistent with the general Commercialization Plan outline set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “General Commercialization Plan Outline”). The JCC shall prepare and approve a separate Commercialization Plan for Commercialization of Licensed Product for the Initial Indication in the Initial Formulation in the Territory and for Commercialization of each Other Indication Product and New Formulation (if any) in the Territory, and shall update and amend each Commercialization Plan not less than annually or more frequently as needed to take into account changed circumstances or completion, commencement or cessation of Commercialization activities not contemplated by the then-current Commercialization Plan. Amendments and revisions to the Commercialization Plan shall be reviewed and discussed, in advance, by the JCC, and Otsuka agrees to consider proposals and suggestions made by Acucela regarding amendments and revisions to the Commercialization Plan. Any amendment or revision to the Commercialization Plan that provides for an increase or decrease in the number of FTEs for any Phase 3b Clinical Trials or Post-Approval Studies as compared to the previous version of the Commercialization Plan, or that provides for addition or discontinuation of tasks or activities as compared to the previous version of the Commercialization Plan, or that moves forward the timetable for activities reflected in the Commercialization Plan, shall provide for a reasonable ramp-up or wind-down period, as applicable, to accommodate a smooth and orderly transition of Commercialization activities to the amended or revised Commercialization Plan. Each Commercialization Plan shall identify the goals of Commercialization contemplated thereunder and shall address Commercialization (including Co-Promotion) activities related to the Licensed Product (including, if applicable, any Other Indication Product), including:
