Employees and Benefit Plans (a) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer agrees to provide the employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (collectively, the "Company Employees") with at least the types and levels of employee benefits (including employee contribution levels) comparable in the aggregate to those maintained by Buyer for similarly-situated employees of Buyer. Buyer will treat, and cause its applicable benefit plans to treat, the service of the Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as service rendered to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for level of benefits including, but not limited to, severance benefits, vacation entitlement and applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan (including minimum pension amount) and not for participation in the Brookline Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan) attributable to any period before the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions of Buyer's health and similar plans, Buyer shall not treat any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a "new" employee for purposes of any exclusions under any health or similar plan of Buyer for a pre-existing medical condition to the extent that any such exclusion did not apply under a health or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses paid under any of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' health plans shall be credited towards deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses under Buyer's health plans upon delivery to Buyer of appropriate documentation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Buyer Employee Program.

Employees; Benefit Plans (a) Following the Closing Date, BHB may choose to maintain any or all of the LSBG Benefit Plans in its sole discretion. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall terminate any LSBG Benefit Plans for which participant consent is not required and that BHB has requested to be terminated by providing written notice to LSBG at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall provide BHB with evidence that such LSBG Benefit Plans have been terminated. However, for any LSBG Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan of general applicability (other than the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB), BHB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of LSBG shall be entitled to participate in such BHB Benefit Plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BHB (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of LSBG in the BHB Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). BHB shall cause each BHB Benefit Plan in which employees of LSBG are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the BHB Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) the service of such employees with LSBG and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by LSBG (other than for the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of BHB to amend or terminate any of the LSBG Benefit Plans or BHB Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time; provided, however, that BHB shall continue to maintain the LSBG Benefit Plans (other than stock-based or incentive plans and the defined benefit pension plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements) for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan until the LSBG Employees are permitted to participate in the BHB Benefit Plans, unless such BHB Benefit Plan has been frozen or terminated with respect to similarly-situated employees of BHB or any Subsidiary of BHB.
