Employee Benefits and Contracts (a) For a period of one year following the Effective Time, except as contemplated by this Agreement, any Buyer Entity shall provide generally to employees who are actively employed by a Seller Entity on the Closing Date (“Covered Employees”) while employed by such Buyer Entity following the Closing Date employee benefits under Buyer Benefit Plans, on terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those provided by Buyer Entities to their similarly situated employees; provided, that in no event shall any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any closed or frozen plan of any Buyer Entity. Until such time as Buyer shall cause the Covered Employees to participate in the applicable Buyer Benefit Plans, the continued participation of the Covered Employees in the Seller Benefit Plans shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this clause (it being understood that participation in Buyer Benefit Plans may commence at different times with respect to each of Buyer Benefit Plans). For purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting under Buyer Benefit Plans, and for purposes of determining a Covered Employee’s entitlement to paid time off under the applicable Buyer Entity’s paid time off program, the service of the Covered Employees with a Seller Entity prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as service with a Buyer Entity participating in such Buyer Benefit Plans, to the same extent that such service was formally recognized by the Seller Entities for purposes of a similar benefit plan; provided, that such recognition of service shall not (i) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service or (ii) apply for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (x) under which similarly-situated employees of Buyer Entities do not receive credit for prior service, (y) that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation, or (z) for purposes of retiree medical benefits or level of benefits under a defined benefit pension plan.

Contractor shall ensure that the evaluation and treatment of its employees and applicants for employment, the treatment of County employees and agents, and recipients of services are free from such discrimination and harassment. Contractor represents that it is in compliance with and agrees that it will continue to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.), the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Government Code §§ 12900 et seq.), and ensure a workplace free of sexual harassment pursuant to Government Code 12950 and regulations and guidelines issued pursuant thereto. Contractor agrees to compile data, maintain records and submit reports to permit effective enforcement of all applicable antidiscrimination laws and this provision.

Business Employees Certain of the Company's employees ("Bargaining Unit Employees") are represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District No. 70 (the "Union"). The Union and the Company are parties to a collective bargaining agreement effective June 19, 1995 through June 14, 1998 (the "Collective Bargaining Agreement"). Buyer does not agree to assume the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Instead, prior to the Effective Time, Buyer will consult with the Union regarding modifications desired by Buyer to the Collective Bargaining Agreement to become effective at such time as Buyer becomes a successor employer under the National Labor Relations Act. At Buyer's election exercised by notice to the Company at the Closing, Buyer shall either (i) enter into a new collective bargaining agreement with the Union incorporating the modifications agreed to by the Buyer and the Union; or (ii) offer employment to substantially all Bargaining Unit Employees conditioned upon their acceptance of initial terms and conditions of employment as established by Buyer; provided, however, that any such initial terms and conditions of employment shall include the Bargaining Unit Employee's wage rate at the time of Closing. Buyer represents to the Company that following the Closing it will comply with any obligations Buyer may have under the National Labor Relations Act to recognize the Union. With respect to all other employees of the Business at the Effective Time (other than employees who were represented by the Union prior to the Effective Time), all such employees shall become employees of Buyer (it being understood that Buyer is not making any commitment to maintain such employees as employees for any specific period of time or at any specific pay or benefit levels, but at their base hourly or salaried pay rates at the Effective Time). With respect to all employees of the Business who become employees of the Buyer at the Effective Time, Buyer shall thereupon be solely responsible for all pay and benefits with respect to such employees for services rendered after the Effective Time. With respect to all employees of the Business at the Effective Time, Buyer shall also pay or otherwise satisfy all properly accrued and disclosed vacation, holiday and sick time due to employees of the Business at the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, Buyer shall also be responsible for any "COBRA" obligations for any current or former employees of the Business and their dependents. Buyer agrees to assume full responsibility for compliance with any plant closing or similar laws, including WARN Act notices, if any, which may be required as a result of employment losses caused by the transactions provided for herein or by reason of any events occurring at or after the Effective Time.
Prior Employment Agreements The Executive represents that he/she has not executed any agreement with any previous employer which may impose restrictions on Executive’s employment with the Employer.
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.
