Not an Employment Contract The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee and that this Agreement does not prevent the Executive from terminating employment at any time.

Employees (a) No later than 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the Agreement Date, Buyer shall provide Sellers a list of any Employees that Buyer would like to make an offer of employment (the “Offered Employees”). Between the Agreement Date and March 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), Buyer shall be permitted to add or remove Employees from the initial list of Offered Employees. Between March 1, 2023 and five (5) Business Days before the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to remove Employees in an amount that deviates no more than ten (10%) percent from the initial list of Offered Employees, as may have been revised on or before March 1, 2023. Each Offered Employee who accepts such offer shall be deemed a “Transferred Employee”). At a time mutually agreed by the Parties, Sellers shall deliver a notice to each of the Offered Employees (i) informing such Offered Employees about the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer, and (ii) terminating their employment with Sellers. Immediately following such notification, Buyer may send a notice to each of the Offered Employees describing their offer of employment by Xxxxx. (b) By written notice to the Sellers no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer may, but shall not be required to, assume the sponsorship of such Seller Benefit Plans as selected by the Buyer (as an “Assumed Plan”). With respect to each Assumed Plan, Sellers shall take all actions necessary to effect the transfer of such sponsorship and all underlying trusts, insurance contracts and agreements of such Assumed Plan. With respect to each Assumed Plan, the Buyer shall be responsible for all liabilities accruing after the Closing (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall remain responsible for all liabilities accruing on or prior to the Closing). (c) For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx acknowledges that it will be responsible for all liabilities, obligations and claims arising out of the employment by Buyer of any Transferred Employee with respect to Xxxxx’s employment of such Transferred Employee on and after the date of employment of such Transferred Employee with Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Sellers shall make available COBRA (or equivalent) benefits for each Employee that is terminated on the Closing Date and not made an offer of employment by Buyer and Buyer shall have no obligations or liability in connection therewith. (d) Seller shall provide Buyer such information as it reasonably requests to effect the provisions of this Section 6.15.

Any such change shall be made only following written notice of such proposed change and upon written agreement between the Parties regarding such change, subject to the following: 8.5.1 UNDP may, at any time, request, in writing, the withdrawal or replacement of any of the Contractor’s personnel, and such request shall not be unreasonably refused by the Contractor. 8.5.2 Any of the Contractor’s personnel assigned to perform obligations under the Contract shall not be withdrawn or replaced without the prior written consent of UNDP, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 8.5.3 The withdrawal or replacement of the Contractor’s personnel shall be carried out as quickly as possible and in a manner that will not adversely affect the performance of obligations under the Contract. 8.5.4 All expenses related to the withdrawal or replacement of the Contractor’s personnel shall, in all cases, be borne exclusively by the Contractor. 8.5.5 Any request by UNDP for the withdrawal or replacement of the Contractor’s personnel shall not be considered to be a termination, in whole or in part, of the Contract, and UNDP shall not bear any liability in respect of such withdrawn or replaced personnel. 8.5.6 If a request for the withdrawal or replacement of the Contractor’s personnel is not based upon a default by or failure on the part of the Contractor to perform its obligations in accordance with the Contract, the misconduct of the personnel, or the inability of such personnel to reasonably work together with UNDP officials and staff, then the Contractor shall not be liable by reason of any such request for the withdrawal or replacement of the Contractor’s personnel for any delay in the performance by the Contractor of its obligations under the Contract that is substantially the result of such personnel’s being withdrawn or replaced. 8.6 Nothing in Articles 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5, above, shall be construed to create any obligations on the part of UNDP with respect to the Contractor’s personnel assigned to perform work under the Contract, and such personnel shall remain the sole responsibility of the Contractor. 8.7 The Contractor shall be responsible for requiring that all personnel assigned by it to perform any obligations under the Contract and who may have access to any premises or other property of UNDP shall: 8.7.1 undergo or comply with security screening requirements made known to the Contractor by UNDP, including but not limited to, a review of any criminal history; 8.7.2 when within UNDP premises or on UNDP property, display such identification as may be approved and furnished by UNDP security officials, and that upon the withdrawal or replacement of any such personnel or upon termination or completion of the Contract, such personnel shall immediately return any such identification to UNDP for cancellation. 8.8 Within one working day after learning that any of Contractor’s personnel who have access to any UNDP premises have been charged by law enforcement authorities with an offense other than a minor traffic offense, the Contractor shall provide written notice to inform UNDP about the particulars of the charges then known and shall continue to inform UNDP concerning all substantial developments regarding the disposition of such charges. 8.9 All operations of the Contractor, including without limitation, storage of equipment, materials, supplies and parts, within UNDP premises or on UNDP property shall be confined to areas authorized or approved by UNDP.
