Former Employees Newco shall have no Liability with respect to (1) Former Employees or (2) as provided in the Transaction Agreement, former employees of JBG or its Affiliates who had a termination event on or prior to the Closing, in each case, regardless of when such Liability arises. Vornado shall retain Liability, if any, with respect to Former
Transferred Employees Harpoon’s employment of the Transferred Employees shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the Series B Closing Date. Prior to or in conjunction with the Series B Closing, Maverick shall in good faith offer employment to the Transferred Employees, pursuant to terms of written offer letters, with such employment to commence on the first Business Day immediately following the Series B Closing Date. In the event that any such Transferred Employee accepts Maverick’s offer of employment either before or after the Series B Closing, Maverick shall be responsible for all Liabilities (including salaries and benefits, including the maintenance of appropriate levels of workers’ compensation insurance) arising out of any such employment from and after the initial date of the Transferred Employee’s employment with Maverick. Harpoon shall be responsible for providing notice and health continuation coverage under COBRA to any Transferred Employee (and his/her qualified beneficiaries) who experiences a qualifying event after the Series B Closing Date. With respect to all confidentiality and invention assignment provisions applicable to Transferred Employees contained in Contracts that Transferred Employees entered into with Harpoon prior to the Series B Closing, Harpoon shall enforce such provisions on behalf of Maverick, at Maverick’s request and expense, to the extent that Maverick cannot enforce such Contracts directly. Effective upon the Series B Closing, Harpoon hereby waives (x) any non-competition or similar provisions and (y) any confidentiality provisions, to the extent restricting disclosure or use of the Transferred Intellectual Property or use of the license set forth in Section 2.2(a), in each case ((x) and (y)) applicable to Transferred Employees contained in Contracts that Transferred Employees entered into with Harpoon prior to the Series B Closing.
Business Employees Immediately after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall offer employment to each Business Employee set forth on Schedule 6.6(a). Buyer shall reimburse Seller for severance obligations (if any) arising as a result of the rejection of Buyer’s offer of employment by any Business Employee. Buyer shall cause each offer of employment to a Business Employee pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) to provide for (i) an annual salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable), (ii) annual and long-term bonus and incentive compensation opportunities (other than incentive compensation opportunities related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and (iii) employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements (collectively “Employment Terms”) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to Buyer’s employees in similar positions. In addition, Buyer may offer employment to the Business Employees set forth on Schedule 6.6(b), on terms to be mutually agreed upon, at the Buyer’s sole discretion. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for severance obligations (as set forth on Schedule 6.6(c)), actually paid by Sellers or Parent, arising as a result of the rejection of Buyer’s offer of employment by any Business Employee or arising as a result of Buyer’s failure to offer employment to any Business Employee if such Business Employee is terminated by Seller within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. Any Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be a “Transferred Employee.” Nothing herein shall restrict the right of Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date. Any reimbursement of severance obligations by Buyer to Seller, as set forth above, shall occur within ten (10) days of a reimbursement request from Seller.
Delayed Transfer Employees To the extent that applicable Law or any arrangement with a Governmental Authority prevents the Parties from causing any (a) Honeywell Employee who is intended to be a SpinCo Employee to be employed by a member of the SpinCo Group as of immediately following the Distribution as contemplated by Section 2.01 or (b) SpinCo Employee who is intended to be a Honeywell Employee to be employed by a member of the Honeywell Group as of immediately following the Distribution (each such employee, a “Delayed Transfer Employee” and the SpinCo Group or Honeywell Group entity to which such Delayed Transfer Employee is intended to be transferred, the “Destination Employer”), the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) such Delayed Transfer Employee becomes employed by the Destination Employer at the earliest time permitted by applicable Law or such agreement with a Governmental Authority and (ii) the Destination Employer receives the benefit of such Delayed Transfer Employee’s services from and after the Distribution, including under the TSA or by entering into an employee leasing or similar arrangement. “Delayed Transfer Employee” shall also include any Honeywell Employee who, following the Distribution, provides services to the SpinCo Group under the TSA and whose employment is intended by Honeywell to transfer to the SpinCo Group following the completion of the applicable TSA service, and with respect to such Delayed Transfer Employees, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such Delayed Transfer Employee becomes employed by the SpinCo Group as soon as practicable following the completion of the applicable TSA service. From and after the commencement of a Delayed Transfer Employee’s employment with the Destination Employer, such Delayed Transfer Employee shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement, including Section 4.02, as if such Delayed Transfer Employee commenced employment with the Destination Employer as of the Distribution as contemplated by Section 2.01.
Active Employees At or before the Effective Time, New Ceridian shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, employ or continue to employ each New Ceridian Employee who, at the time such action is taken, is actively employed. Any employment agreement between New Ceridian and such an employee shall (i) supersede any employment agreement between such employee and the Corporation and (ii) release the Media Information Indemnitees from all Liabilities and responsibility with respect to any Employment Related Claims arising prior to the Effective Time or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Distribution Agreement. Any employment agreement between the Corporation and a New Ceridian Employee shall, as of the Effective Time and subject to any contrary provisions of such agreement, be deemed to be assigned to New Ceridian.
Company Employees Each Party shall not, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, any employee of the other Party who has been directly involved in the performance of this Agreement during the Term and for one year after the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination of such individual's employment, with the other Party. It shall not be a violation of this provision if any employee responds to a Party's general advertisement of an open position.
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.
Non-U.S. Employees If the Executive is a foreign national, located outside the United States, not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, the Committee may apply or interpret the terms and conditions of this Award in a manner that, in the Committee’s judgment, may be necessary or desirable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.
Certain Employees (a) Each of the following is included in the list of agreements set forth in the Disclosure Schedule: all collective bargaining agreements, employment and consulting agreements, bonus plans, deferred compensation plans, employee pension plans or retirement plans, employee profit-sharing plans, employee stock purchase and stock option plans, hospitalization insurance, and other plans and arrangements providing for employee benefits of employees of the Seller.
Certain Employee Matters (a) Seller and the Acquired Companies shall take such action as is necessary such that the Acquired Companies shall, as of the Closing Date, cease being “participating employers” and shall cease any co-sponsorship and participation in each Seller Plan that is jointly adopted, sponsored or maintained by Seller and an Acquired Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.6, the Acquired Companies shall have no further liability and Seller shall retain all liabilities with respect to claims incurred under any such Seller Plan prior to the Closing Date, whether such claims are made prior to, on or after the Closing Date. For this purpose claims under any medical, dental, vision, or prescription drug plan, generally will be deemed to be incurred on the date that the service giving rise to such claim is performed and not when such claim is made; provided, however, that with respect to claims relating to hospitalization the claim will be deemed to be incurred on the first day of such hospitalization and not on the date that such services are performed. Claims for disability under any long or short term disability plan shall be incurred on the date the employee or former employee is first absent from work because of the condition giving rise to such disability and not when the employee or former employee is determined to be eligible for benefits under the applicable Seller Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall retain all liabilities under all Seller Plans, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.6. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall retain all liabilities with respect to equity or equity-based awards under any Plan. Seller shall provide any continuation coverage required under Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or applicable state Law (“COBRA”) to each “qualified beneficiary” as that term is defined in COBRA whose first “qualifying event” (as defined in COBRA) occurs on or prior to the Closing Date. The Acquired Companies shall retain responsibility for all accrued but unused vacation pay for each of their respective Acquired Company Employees (other than any Bank Channel Employees who become Acquired Company Employees). As soon as practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list setting forth, with respect to each Acquired Company Employee (other than any Bank Channel Employee who becomes an Acquired Company Employee) the number of days of accrued but unused vacation as of the Closing Date.
