Purchaser agrees to offer employment as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date to each Employee listed in Schedule 5.18(a)(ii) as of the Closing Date in the same or a comparable position and at a rate of pay at least equal to such Employee’s rate of pay as of the Closing Date, and to provide Affected Employees with employee benefits in the aggregate comparable to the employee benefits set forth in Schedule 7.5(a)(i) as in effect on the Closing Date (without duplication of any employee benefits provided to such Affected Employee by Pfizer and its Affiliates after the Transfer Date) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5, which the parties agree are satisfied by the benefits set forth on Schedule 7.5(a)(iii). For purposes of this Section 7.5, references to “pay” shall be limited to base pay plus any commission and annual bonus opportunity, and shall exclude retention and retention/performance allowances. Such employment initially shall be at a location within a twenty-five mile radius of the Employee’s location of employment as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall have no obligation whatsoever with regard to (i) former employees at the Facility who are retired or who are not or shall have ceased to be Employees on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) Employees who do not accept the offer of employment or continuation of employment given by the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 7.5(a) or do not work for Purchaser or its Affiliates for at least one (1) day, or (iii) Inactive Employees who do not return to active work with Purchaser at the end of the Inactive Employee’s leave and in any event within one year following the Closing Date (or such other longer period as is required by applicable law). Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all benefits (other than for retiree health as provided in Section 7.5(d)(ii) and any continuation health care coverage offered by Sellers pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 4980B of the Code and Title I, Subtitle B, Part 6 of ERISA and any similar state local law (“COBRA”)), salaries or wages (including bonuses, incentive payments and commissions) accruing after the applicable Transfer Date with respect to the Affected Employees. Purchaser may, at its discretion, change the conditions of employment of Affected Employees after the applicable Transfer Date except for (i) the twenty-five mile location requirement described in this Section 7.5(a), (ii) the pay and benefits comparability requirements described in this Section 7.5(a), and (iii) the employee separation plan obligations described in Schedule 7.5(a)(ii), all of which requirements must continue to be satisfied by Purchaser until the date immediately following the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided however, that Purchaser or its Affiliates may amend any benefit program contained in Schedule 7.5(a)(iii) covering Affected Employees during such two-year period (x) as required by applicable Laws, or (y) to make changes that, taken as a whole, do not cause the plans maintained by Purchaser set forth on Schedule 7.5(a)(iii) with such modification to be not substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits set forth in Schedule 7.5(a)(i); any of which changes may only be made with respect to Affected Employees if Purchaser is making the same change with respect to other similarly-situated employees
27
of Purchaser or its Affiliates. Following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall initially provide then-active Affected Employees with pay, benefits and severance plans, programs and policies which are in the aggregate no less favorable than those provided to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed in any way to limit or restrict the Purchaser’s right to terminate the employment of any Affected Employee at any time on or following the Closing Date, with or without cause, so long as the requirements of this Section 7.5 are otherwise met, including, without limitation, the Purchaser’s agreement to provide the severance benefits to such Affected Employee as provided in Schedule 7.5(a)(ii).
(b) Service Credit. Affected Employees shall also be provided credit by the Purchaser for all service with Pfizer and its Affiliates, to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Pfizer and its Affiliates under the Plans in which such Affected Employee participated immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date, under the comparable type of employee benefit plan made available to Affected Employees by Purchaser on or after the Transfer Date for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting and for purposes of the level of severance benefits, but not for purposes of benefit accruals or any other purpose; provided that no such credit will be given to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits to any Affected Employee.
(c) Accrued Vacation Entitlements. Purchaser shall assume responsibility for accrued but unused vacation and holiday pay, for Affected Employees as of the applicable Transfer Date consistent with Pfizer’s policy in respect thereof.
(d) Medical and Welfare Plan Obligations. (i) Commencing as of 12:01 a.m. on the day immediately following the applicable Transfer Date, Purchaser shall make available to Affected Employees the welfare plans listed on Schedule 7.5(a)(iii). Purchaser agrees to waive any waiting periods or limitations for preexisting conditions under its medical, dental, life insurance, and short-term and long-term disability plans offered or made available to the Affected Employee immediately following the applicable Transfer Date to the same extent such period or limitation was satisfied by the Affected Employee or waived by Pfizer and its Affiliates for the same purpose under the comparable type of Plan in which the Affected Employee was participating immediately prior to the Transfer Date. Purchaser further agrees to and shall ensure that such Affected Employees are given credit for any amounts paid in respect of such Affected Employee under the Plan in which such Affected Employee was participating immediately prior to the applicable Transfer Date towards satisfaction of the applicable deductibles, out-of-pocket limits or other fees under the comparable type of employee benefit plan of Purchaser in which such Affected Employee first participates after the applicable Transfer Date, to the same extent such credit was given under the applicable Plan, and in each case in respect of the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs. Claims incurred by an Affected Employee for medical and dental services rendered on or after the applicable Transfer Date (other than for retiree health as provided in Section 7.5(d)(ii) and any continuation health care coverage required by COBRA) shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. Claims incurred for medical and dental services for Affected Employees rendered prior to the applicable Transfer Date shall be the responsibility of
28
the group medical and dental plans of Pfizer that covered such employees prior to the applicable Transfer Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers shall provide benefits pursuant to any post-retirement welfare benefit plans maintained by either Seller to or in respect of any Affected Employee who, at the relevant Transfer Date, was eligible to retire and commence benefits under the relevant post-retirement welfare benefit plan. Such post-retirement welfare benefits under Seller’s Plans shall commence following the Affected Employee’s termination of employment with the Seller, pursuant to the terms of the applicable post-retirement welfare benefit plan.
(e) Employees Absent on Disability or Leaves of Absence - Offer of Employment; Continued Employment; Severance. When an Inactive Employee seeks to return to active employment, Purchaser shall offer immediate employment to such Inactive Employee in the same or a comparable position to that which the Inactive Employee occupied before such Inactive Employee’s absence but only at such time that such Inactive Employee is mentally and physically capable of performing the essential functions of the position occupied immediately before such absence; provided that Purchaser shall not be required to offer immediate employment to Inactive Employees who seek to return to active work later than 12 months after the commencement of such Inactive Employee’s approved leave (or, in the case of Inactive Employees who seek to return from approved leaves where return to work is subject to statutory requirements, later than the end of such period as is required by applicable law or 12 months, whichever is later). Pfizer and its Affiliates will retain and continue to be responsible for all compensation, benefits, severance and employment related obligations and liabilities relating to each Inactive Employee until and through the applicable Transfer Date. As soon as practicable following the Transfer Date of an Inactive Employee, Purchaser shall reimburse Pfizer for all pay, and all company-share premiums paid in respect of the Plans that are welfare plans, paid by Pfizer and its Affiliates on behalf of such Affected Employee, in each case at a rate not in excess of that in effect at the Closing Date, in respect of the period after the Closing Date and prior to the Transfer Date.
(f) Retirement Benefits. On or prior to the Closing Date, Pfizer shall take all action necessary to cause the accrued benefit of each Affected Employee to be fully vested, as of the Transfer Date under the tax-qualified savings and tax-qualified pension plans in which each Affected Employee participates.
(g) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Employee any benefits under any benefit plans, programs, policies or other arrangements, including, but not limited to, severance benefits or right to employment or continued employment with Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser for any period by reason of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement, in particular this Article VII, are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and are not for the benefit of any third party.

(b) Prior to Closing, except as contemplated by this Agreement or except as otherwise agreed in writing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will offer or provide employment on a full-time, part-time or consulting basis to any individual that is not an Approved Employee employed in the operation of the Facility by Pfizer or any of its Affiliates, except that nothing in this sentence shall restrict or preclude Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from holding Facility-wide meetings on or prior to the Closing Date during normal business hours on mutually agreed upon dates with the purpose of making generalized announcements to all individuals employed in the operation of the Facility as of the Closing Date regarding offers of employment by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date.
Section 7.7. Insurance.

Section 7.8. Notification of Certain Matters. Sellers shall give prompt notice to Xxxxx, and Xxxxx and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Pfizer of the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be reasonably likely to cause (i) any representation or warranty of the Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx or Purchaser, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing or (ii) any Seller, Xxxxx or Purchaser, as the case may be, to fail to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.
30
Section 7.9. Bulk Transfer Laws. Purchaser acknowledges that the Sellers have not taken, and do not intend to take, any action required to comply with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws or similar laws.

Section 7.10. Trade Notification. The Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx and Purchaser shall agree on the method and content of the notifications to customers, if any, of the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser.

(b) Purchaser and Xxxxx acknowledge and agree that the Sellers shall not have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any Loss to the extent that such Loss results from any action taken by Purchaser, Xxxxx or their respective Affiliates after the Closing Date; provided that this Section 8.1(b) shall not relieve Sellers of any obligation for any Loss with respect to Excluded Environmental Liabilities or any breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers in Section 5.11(Environmental Matters)
31
except to the extent that the Loss involved results from negligent or grossly negligent actions taken, or intentional exacerbations of the Losses, by Purchaser, Xxxxx or their respective Affiliates. Each of Xxxxx and Purchaser shall take and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take all reasonable actions to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
Section 8.2. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Xxxxx and Purchaser agree, on a joint and several basis, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses claimed or arising directly from (i) any Assumed Liability, (ii) any breach by Xxxxx or Purchaser of any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement, (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty of Xxxxx or Purchaser contained in this Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement; and (iv) events occurring on or after the Closing Date in connection with the Facility or the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, the use, ownership, possession, operation or occupancy of any real property, the Facility or the Purchased Assets from and after the Closing Date), provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.2(a)(iv) is intended to limit the scope of Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 8.1(a).
(b) Each Seller shall take and shall cause its Affiliates to take all reasonable actions to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
Section 8.3. Notice of Claims.

A failure to give such notice in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, except (i) to the extent such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby, (ii) to the extent expenses are incurred during the period in which notice was not provided or (iii) as provided by Section 8.5 below. Notice shall be deemed to have been provided by Purchaser to Pfizer pursuant to this Section 8.3 with regard to the matters referenced in the definition of Scheduled Environmental Commitments, and Pfizer shall be deemed to have notified Purchaser that it will conduct and control the defense and management of any required Remedial Action with regard to the matters referenced in the definition of Scheduled Environmental Commitments.
32
(b) Except when a notice, report or other filing must be filed immediately pursuant to Environmental Laws, Purchaser will provide to Pfizer a reasonable opportunity to comment with respect to any Required Governmental Report before Purchaser files it in connection with an event which at the time of filing appears reasonably likely to result in a Loss subject to the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII.

If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall still have the right to participate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose.
(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision of the Indemnifying Party records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 8.7. Losses Net of Other Indemnities, Etc. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.1 or 8.2 shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party (any such third party, a “Collateral Source”) and (ii) an amount equal to the present value of the tax benefit, if any, attributable to such Loss. Indemnification under this Article VIII shall not be available unless the Indemnified Party first uses all commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from all Collateral Sources. The Indemnifying Party may require an Indemnified Party to assign the rights to seek recovery pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will then be responsible for pursuing such claim at its own expense. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 8.1 or 8.2 is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not
34
have had to pay pursuant to this Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.
Section 8.8. Sole/Remedy/Waiver. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except for claims based on fraud or willful misconduct. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, (including rights of contribution, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against the Sellers or any of the Affiliates, or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law (including, without limitation, any such Law relating to the environmental matters or arising under or based upon any common law or otherwise), except to the extent such rights, claims and causes of action are based on fraud or willful misconduct.
Section 8.9. Indemnification Procedures for Remedial Actions on Purchased Assets, (a) Pfizer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control the management of a Remedial Action at a property included in the Purchased Assets that is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Pfizer must notify Purchaser, within 30 days of receipt of notice of Purchaser’s claim for indemnification for such matter, mat (i) it intends to undertake said responsibility or (ii) more information is needed from Purchaser before Pfizer can reasonably determine that Purchaser’s claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly respond to such requests for information (to the extent such information is reasonably available to Purchaser) and, within 30 days of receipt of such information (or notice that such information is not reasonably available to Purchaser), Pfizer shall notify Purchaser as to whether it shall undertake the Remedial Action. Failure of Pfizer to notify Purchaser within 30 days of receipt of notice of Purchaser’s claim for indemnification (or receipt of requested information or notice that such information is not reasonably available to Purchaser, as the case may be) shall be deemed a determination by Pfizer that it declines to undertake the Remedial Action. Prior to a determination by Pfizer regarding whether it will undertake a Remedial Action pursuant to this Section, Purchaser shall take only those actions necessary to comply with applicable Environmental Laws or address conditions that pose an immediate and acute health risk (unless additional actions are approved by Pfizer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Pfizer shall be deemed to have provided notice pursuant to this Section 8.9(a) that it will conduct and control the management of any required Remedial Action with regard to matters referenced in the definition of Scheduled Environmental Commitments.
(b) In undertaking a Remedial Action pursuant to this Section, Pfizer shall promptly propose a qualified independent environmental consultant to develop and implement the Remedial Action, which consultant shall be subject to Purchaser’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned) (the “Pfizer Consultant”). Pfizer shall diligently undertake such Remedial Action in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws and shall not cause, any undue delay in
35
obtaining written notice from the appropriate Governmental Authority that no further investigation or remediation is necessary with respect to the matter that is the subject of the indemnification claim to meet the Applicable Remedial Action Standards (a “Government NFA Letter”) or, if no Governmental Authority is involved in such matter, a good faith determination from the Pfizer Consultant that no further investigation or remediation is required to bring the Purchased Assets into conformance with Applicable Remedial Action Standards (a “Consultant NFA Letter”). Pfizer shall comply with all applicable Laws, including all applicable Environmental Laws, with respect to its performance pursuant to this Section. Pfizer shall promptly provide copies to Purchaser of all notices, correspondence, final draft reports, submissions, work plans, and final reports and shall give Purchaser a reasonable opportunity given the circumstances {at Purchaser’s own expense) to comment on any submissions Pfizer intends to deliver or submit to the appropriate Governmental Authority prior to said submission. Purchaser may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the Remedial Action, including any field work undertaken by Pfizer, and Pfizer shall provide Purchaser with the results of all such field work. Subject to Purchaser’s rights to cooperatively participate in the Remedial Action as described herein and Purchaser’s rights to participate as a member of the public, Purchaser shall not take any actions that shall unreasonably interfere with Pfizer’s performance of the Remedial Action. Pfizer shall undertake any Remedial Action in a manner that does not interfere in any material respect with the conduct of operations at the Facility. Pfizer and Purchaser shall work cooperatively and in good faith to accommodate the reasonable access needs of Pfizer;
(c) If Pfizer declines to undertake the performance of a Remedial Action as provided in Section 8.9(a), Purchaser shall be entitled to undertake the Remedial Action to the Applicable Remedial Action Standards. In undertaking a Remedial Action pursuant to this Section, Purchaser shall promptly propose a qualified independent environmental consultant to develop and implement the Remedial Action, which consultant shall be subject to Pfizer’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned) {the “Purchaser Consultant”). Purchaser shall promptly provide copies to Pfizer of all notices, correspondence, final draft reports, submissions, work plans, and final reports and shall give Pfizer a reasonable opportunity (at Pfizer’s own expense) to comment on any submissions Purchaser intends to deliver or submit to any appropriate Governmental Agency prior to said submission. Pfizer may, at its own expense, hire its own consultants, attorneys or other professionals to monitor the Remedial Action, including any field work undertaken by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide to Pfizer the results of all such field work. Subject to Pfizer’s rights to cooperatively participate in the Remedial Action as described herein and Pfizer’s rights to participate as a member of the public, Pfizer shall not take any actions that interfere with Purchaser’s performance of the Remedial Action. Pfizer’s decision to allow Purchaser to undertake Remedial Action hereunder shall not limit or affect Pfizer’s obligation to indemnify Purchaser for said Remedial Action as provided in this Agreement.
(d) Pfizer’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement to undertake any Remedial Action (including, but not limited to, Remedial Actions relating to Scheduled
36
Environmental Commitments) shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the receipt of either a Governmental NFA Letter or Consultant NFA Letter.
Section 8.10. Limitation on Indemnification for Scheduled Environmental Commitments and Third Party Claims for Remedial Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement to the extent Pfizer has indemnification obligations for Remedial Actions at any property included in the Purchased Assets under Section 8.1 hereof, including, without limitation, situations where Purchaser undertakes the Remedial Action pursuant to the last sentence of Section 8.9(c), such obligations shall be limited by this Section 8.10. Pfizer shall be responsible for the cost of such Remedial Action as reasonably determined by the Pfizer Consultant, if Pfizer is undertaking the Remedial Action, or the Purchaser Consultant, if Purchaser is undertaking the Remedial Action, in either case as necessary to meet, in the most cost-effective manner: (i) standards required by applicable Environmental Law consistent with the industrial/commercial use of the Facility as of the Closing Date taking into consideration, where applicable, land use restrictions, and engineering and/or institutional controls, or (ii) in the event any Governmental Authority is making a claim for Remedial Action, a standard pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws acceptable to such Governmental Authorities, and, in either case (i) or (ii), that does not limit or interfere in any material respect with the continued use of the Facility in substantially the same manner as the Facility is used by Sellers as of the Closing Date (the “Applicable Remedial Action Standard”). Pfizer shall not be responsible for those costs incurred in connection with a Remedial Action to the extent such costs arise from or are exacerbated by negligent or grossly negligent actions of, or intentional exacerbations by, Purchaser.
Section 8.11. Tax Treatment. Amounts paid to, by, or on behalf of the Purchaser as indemnification hereunder shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.
Section 8.12. No Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR FOR DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOST PROFITS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH HEREOF OR ANY LIABILITY RETAINED OR ASSUMED HEREUNDER.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.2(a), in the event this Agreement shall be terminated and at such time any party is in material breach of or default under any term or provision hereof, such termination shall be without prejudice to, and shall not affect, any and all rights to damages that the other party may have hereunder or otherwise under applicable Law. The damages recoverable by the non-defaulting party shall include, without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by such parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

PFIZER EMPLOYEE SEPARATION PLAN
PUERTO RICO
INTRODUCTION
The Company maintains the Employee Separation Plan (“the Plan”) to provide severance pay benefits under certain circumstances to Pfizer employees who work in Puerto Rico who meet the eligibility requirements and other terms and conditions of the Plan. This Summary Plan Description (SPD) describes the terms and conditions of the Plan and is designed to answer questions that you may have about the Plan and its administration. This Plan replaces the Plan dated _______________, and all prior severance plans.
ELIGIBILITY
You are eligible to participate in the Plan if all the following apply:
• | You are a regular full time or part-time (who is scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week) employee of the Company’s Puerto Rico affiliates; |
• | You meet the coverage requirements (as defined below) at the time of your termination and the conditions of your employment are not otherwise covered by a written agreement; |
• | The employee’s terms and conditions are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement (unless the agreement specifically provides for coverage under the Plan); |
• | You are not one of the Company’s elected Corporate Officers or an employee whose compensation is subject to individual approval by the Employee Compensation and Management Development Committee. |
For purposes of this Plan, the term “employee” does not include any individual who is characterized by the Company as a temporary employee, leased employee, contract worker, or independent contractor.
COVERAGE
Severance benefits are payable is the following circumstances:
1. | Performance-Related Terminations |
An employee’s termination with the Company occurs in an instance when the job performance requirements are not met. Performance-related termination should generally occur only after the opportunity for improvement has been provided to the employee and performance standards are still not met. No severance benefits are payable when the employee has made little or no effort to improve performance deficiencies.
2. | Curtailment or Cessation of operations/Reorganization/ Position Elimination |
The employee’s termination with the Company is a direct result of curtailment or cessation of operations, reorganization, or position elimination(s), whether voluntary or involuntary.
Severance Benefits are not payable in the following circumstances:
1. | If an employee is offered a comparable position with the Company in any of its Puerto Rico affiliates and the employee declines the offer. |
2. | Upon divestiture of a subsidiary, division or other identifiable segment of the Company, an employee is offered employment with the acquiring company. |
3. | If an employee is terminated “for cause”. Termination of employment “for cause” includes, but is not limited to, termination for breach of Company policy, inadequate work performance due to intentional or deliberate misconduct or intentional or deliberate failure to act, destruction of Company property, insubordination, commission of unlawful acts against or reflecting on the Company, or similar occurrences. The existence of cause for termination of employment shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. |
4. | If an employee voluntarily resigns or retires from employment. However, in those instances whether the Company seeks, at its sole discretion, to obtain a Release Agreement from such employee, benefits may be paid in accordance with the Severance Pay Summary for Voluntary Resignation. |
5. | If an employee dies or becomes disabled while in active service. |
BENEFITS
Individuals impacted by these situations shall receive benefits in accordance with the Severance Pay Summary.
The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether severance benefits will be paid in the form of a lump sum, salary continuation, or a combination of the two. Salary continuation is only a method of delivering severance pay, not continuation of an individual’s employment with the Company.
Eligible employees begin receiving severance pay upon their Termination Date. The Termination Date is defined as the last date the employee provides services to the Company (generally at the end of the notice period).
The maximum severance pay benefits permitted under the Plan is 104 weeks’ pay unless a lower maximum is stated in the Plan. Benefits under this Plan will be reduced by the amount of any termination benefits and employee is eligible to receive under any federal, state or local statutes or regulations. Severance pay benefits will be reduced by any outstanding debt owed by the employee to the Company, where permitted by law, including but not limited to loans granted by the Company, advanced vacation pay, or salary or expense advances.
(OJO ASUME)
Any benefits payable under the Plan will cease if there is a violation of noncompete and/or nondisclosure agreements as determined by the Plan administrator in its sole discretion.
Pay
• | “Pay” for severance pay purposes is defined as current salary wages (annualized) plus any bonus paid in the previous twelve months. This amount is divided by 52 to determine weeks’ pay. |
• | “Pay” for notice pay purposes is defined as current base pay. |
• | In all cases, “Pay” excludes overtime, shift differentials, premium pay, holiday bonuses, allowances, contest awards, stock option income, stock grants of any type, as well as other similar payments. |
OTHER BENEFITS
• | Salary continuation is only a method of delivering severance pay, not a continuation of an individual’s employment with the Company. Therefore, active-service benefits will cease on the employee’s Termination Date. |
• | Eligibility for post-retirement medical, dental and life insurance coverage is determined as of the employee’s Termination Date. |
• | The controlling conditions of each stock option grant are contained in the terms of stock option grant letters, the Points of Interest and the Pfizer Stock and Incentive Plan. |
• | Severance pay in any form will not be included as earnings under either the Pfizer Retirement Annuity Plan or the Pfizer Savings and Investment Plan. Further, while receiving salary continuation, age and service credit will not accrue for purposes of the Pfizer Retirement Annuity Plan. |
RELEASE AGREEMENT
Severance pay under this Plan will not be paid unless the employee executes (and does not revoke) a written release agreement in a form prescribed by the Company, of all claims against the Company, its affiliates, and related parties arising out of the employee’s employment or termination.
NOTICE PERIOD

Upon written request to the , copies of any of these documents will be furnished to any Plan participant within 30 days.
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ERISA
Participants in the Pfizer Employee Separation Plan are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to:
• | Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office or at the office of the Employee Resources representative, all Plan documents and copies of all documents filed with the U.S. Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service, such as detailed Plan descriptions and annual reports. |
• | Obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. |
• | Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report. |
In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon those who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. Those who operate the Plan, who are called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of Plan participants.
No one, including the employer or anyone else, may fire an employee or otherwise discriminate against an employee in any way to prevent an employee from obtaining a Plan benefit or exercising an employee’s rights under ERISA.
If a claim for a Plan benefit is denied in whole or in part, the employee must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. The employee has the right to have the Plan Administrator review and reconsider the claim.
Under ERISA, there are steps an employee can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if an employee requests materials from the Plan Administrator and does not receive them within 30 days, an employee may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials, and pay the employee up to $100 a day until the employee receives the materials, unless the materials were not sent for reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If an employee has a claim for benefits which is denied or
ignored, in whole or in part, the employee may file suit in state or federal court.
If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if an employee is discriminated against for asserting his/her rights, an employee may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or may file suit in federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If an employee is successful, the court may order the person sued to pay these costs and fees. If an employee loses, the court may order an employee to pay these costs and fees if, for example, it finds the claim frivolous.
If you need additional information or have any questions about the Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, you should contact the nearest Area Office of the U.S. Labor - Management Services Administration, Department of Labor.
