Apergy Liabilities. All workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any claim by Apergy Employees or Former Apergy Employees that result from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, as of or prior to the Effective Time and while such individual was employed by either Party or its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be assumed, or retained as the case may be, by Apergy as of the Effective Time. Each member of the Apergy Group 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 an Apergy Employee or Former Apergy Employee that results from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the case may be, after the Effective Time. Effective as of the Effective Time, Apergy, acting through the applicable member of the Apergy Group employing each Apergy Employee, will be responsible for obtaining workers’ compensation insurance, including providing all collateral required by the insurance carriers. To the extent that such insurance coverage cannot be either assigned to or obtained by Apergy or another member of the Apergy Group, in respect of claims and Liabilities otherwise to be assumed by Apergy or another member of the Apergy Group pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and this Section 4.4(a), Dover shall remain primarily liable for such claims and Liabilities, but Apergy shall indemnify and hold harmless Dover for any such claims and Liabilities. If the preceding sentence applies, then at one or more mutually agreed upon dates, Dover will determine the present value of such claims and Liabilities and Apergy shall reimburse Dover for that amount.
