• Workers’ Compensation Liabilities All workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by Cyclerion Employees or Former Cyclerion Employees that result from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, on or before the Distribution Effective Time and while such individual was employed by Ironwood or an Ironwood Group member shall be retained by Ironwood. Any workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by Cyclerion Employees or Former Cyclerion Employees that result from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, following the Distribution Effective Time shall be assumed by Cyclerion; provided, however, that to the extent such a Liability is covered under a workers compensation insurance policy of Ironwood or an Ironwood Group member regardless of when the Liability arises, and such Liability is not covered under a workers compensation insurance policy of Cyclerion or a Cyclerion Group member, such Liability shall be retained by Ironwood or an Ironwood Group member to the extent of such coverage; and provided further, however, that to the extent that Ironwood or an Ironwood Group member, as applicable, receives prior to the Distribution Effective Time an invoice for a covered expense with respect to such Liability, Ironwood shall be responsible for paying such invoice and Cyclerion shall reimburse Ironwood for any amount paid by Ironwood. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cyclerion shall assume worker’s compensation Liabilities to the extent they are imposed on Cyclerion under applicable Law or where the injury or illness related to the Liability is aggravated or subject to further injury after the Distribution Effective Time. A Liability which must be paid due to the existence of a deductible shall not be deemed to be covered by a workers compensation insurance policy for purposes of this Section 4.4. Subject to the foregoing, Cyclerion and each Cyclerion Group member shall also be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim incurred for a compensable injury sustained by a Cyclerion Employee that results from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, after the Distribution Effective Time. Ironwood, each Ironwood Group member, Cyclerion and each Cyclerion Group member shall cooperate with respect to processing of claims, any notification to appropriate governmental agencies of the disposition and the issuance of new, or the transfer of existing, workers’ compensation insurance policies and claims handling contracts.
