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.
