Common use of FSA Clause in Contracts

FSA. Buyer shall have in effect, or cause to be in effect, as of the Employment Start Date, health or dependent care flexible spending accounts qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (the “Buyer FSA”) in which Transferred Employees who participate in health or dependent care flexible spending accounts maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliate (the “Seller FSA”) may participate. Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall cause the balance of each Transferred Employee’s accounts under the Seller FSA as of such Transferred Employee’s Employment Start Date to be credited to the Transferred Employee’s corresponding accounts under the Buyer FSA in which such employee participates following the Employment Start Date; provided, however, that no such crediting shall be required or occur for a medical flexible spending account in the event the applicable Transferred Employee elects COBRA coverage with respect to such Transferred Employee’s medical flexible spending account under the Seller FSA. On and after the Employment Start Date, Buyer shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by Transferred Employees, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Employment Start Date, that have not been paid in full as of the Employment Start Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the Buyer FSA, and Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from any and all claims by or with respect to Transferred Employees for reimbursement under the Seller FSA that have not been paid in full as of the Employment Start Date. Seller will continue to process any Seller FSA claims filed before the Employment Start Date and advise Buyer as to the approval or disapproval of payment of such claims. Buyer agrees to cause the Buyer FSA to honor and continue through the end of the plan year in which the Employment Start Date occurs the elections made by each Transferred Employee under the Seller FSA in respect of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Employment Start Date. As soon as practicable following the Employment Start Date, Seller or Seller’s Affiliate shall cause to be transferred to Buyer an amount in cash equal to (A) the sum of all contributions to any Seller FSA made by all Transferred Employees before the Employment Start Date with respect to the plan year in which the Employment Start Date occurs, reduced by (B) the sum of (i) all claims incurred by the Transferred Employees and paid by Seller during the plan year in which the Employment Start Date occurs, plus (ii) all contributions to any medical flexible spending account under the Seller FSA made by Transferred Employees who elect COBRA coverage in connection with their termination of employment by Seller (or its Affiliate) due to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
