EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS Clause Samples

The 'Existing Benefit Plans' clause defines the status and handling of employee benefit plans that are already in place prior to a transaction or agreement. It typically outlines which benefit plans will continue, be modified, or terminated, and may specify the responsibilities of each party regarding ongoing contributions or administration.
