Defined Benefit Pension Plans Sample Clauses

A Defined Benefit Pension Plans clause outlines the employer's obligation to provide employees with a predetermined retirement benefit, typically calculated based on factors such as salary history and years of service. This clause specifies the formula used to determine pension payments, eligibility requirements, and the vesting schedule for participants. Its core function is to ensure employees have a clear understanding of their retirement benefits and to allocate the financial responsibility for funding these benefits to the employer, thereby providing security and predictability for employees' post-retirement income.

Seller shall retain and be responsible for the Liabilities in respect of each Transferred Employee under every other plan that is a “defined benefit pension plan” within the meaning of FAS87 and is not listed on Section 7.1(d)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

For purposes of this Section 7.1(d)(ii), the amount to be transferred shall be adjusted to take into account benefit payments made from the Transferred Employee Plans to the applicable Pension Plan Employees after the Closing Date but prior to the date of transfer by Seller or its Affiliates (“Interim Pension Payments”).
