Employees and Benefit Plans (a) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer agrees to provide the employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (collectively, the "Company Employees") with at least the types and levels of employee benefits (including employee contribution levels) comparable in the aggregate to those maintained by Buyer for similarly-situated employees of Buyer. Buyer will treat, and cause its applicable benefit plans to treat, the service of the Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as service rendered to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for level of benefits including, but not limited to, severance benefits, vacation entitlement and applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan (including minimum pension amount) and not for participation in the Brookline Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan) attributable to any period before the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions of Buyer's health and similar plans, Buyer shall not treat any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a "new" employee for purposes of any exclusions under any health or similar plan of Buyer for a pre-existing medical condition to the extent that any such exclusion did not apply under a health or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses paid under any of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' health plans shall be credited towards deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses under Buyer's health plans upon delivery to Buyer of appropriate documentation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Buyer Employee Program.
Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
Employees; Benefit Plans (a) Following the Closing Date, BHB may choose to maintain any or all of the LSBG Benefit Plans in its sole discretion. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall terminate any LSBG Benefit Plans for which participant consent is not required and that BHB has requested to be terminated by providing written notice to LSBG at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall provide BHB with evidence that such LSBG Benefit Plans have been terminated. However, for any LSBG Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan of general applicability (other than the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB), BHB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of LSBG shall be entitled to participate in such BHB Benefit Plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BHB (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of LSBG in the BHB Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). BHB shall cause each BHB Benefit Plan in which employees of LSBG are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the BHB Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) the service of such employees with LSBG and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by LSBG (other than for the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of BHB to amend or terminate any of the LSBG Benefit Plans or BHB Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time; provided, however, that BHB shall continue to maintain the LSBG Benefit Plans (other than stock-based or incentive plans and the defined benefit pension plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements) for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan until the LSBG Employees are permitted to participate in the BHB Benefit Plans, unless such BHB Benefit Plan has been frozen or terminated with respect to similarly-situated employees of BHB or any Subsidiary of BHB.
Employees; Employee Benefits (a) Schedule 3.13(a) hereto sets forth the names of all current employees of the Company (the “Employees”) and such Employee’s job title, the location of employment of such Employee, such Employee’s current salary, the amount of any bonuses or other compensation paid since December 31, 2003 to such Employee, the date of employment of such Employee and the accrued vacation time of such Employee. Schedule 3.13(a) hereto sets forth a true and correct statement of the liability, if any, of the Company for accrued but unused sick pay. There are no outstanding loans from the Company to any officer, director, employee, agent or consultant of the Company, or to any other Related Person. Schedule 3.13(a) hereto sets forth a complete and correct description of all severance policies of the Company. Complete and correct copies of all written agreements (or, in the case of oral agreements, a complete and correct description) with Employees and all employment policies, and all amendments and supplements thereto, have previously been delivered to the Parent, and a list of all such agreements and policies is set forth on Schedule 3.13(a). None of the Employees has, to the knowledge of the Company and the Sole Stockholder, indicated a desire to terminate his or her employment, or any intention to terminate his or her employment upon a sale of, or business combination relating to, the Company or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13(a) hereto, since December 31, 2003, the Company has not (i) increased the salary or other compensation payable or to become payable to or for the benefit of any of the Employees, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (ii) increased the term or tenure of employment for any Employee, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (iii) increased the amounts payable to any of the Employees upon the termination of any such person’s employment or (iv) adopted, increased, augmented or improved benefits granted to or for the benefit of any of the Employees under any Benefit Plan (as such term is defined herein).
Termination of Employees Employment For purposes of this Section 3.1(d), the term “pro rata portion” shall mean, with respect to any award of time-vested RSUs, time- vested RSAs or time-vested options, a percentage, when expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and after the date that begins the vesting period applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options during which Employee was an employee of the Company, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the vesting period(s) applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options assuming Employee had been an employee throughout such vesting period and no event or other matter occurred that would accelerate the vesting of such award. Any options that vest pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) shall remain exercisable through the post-termination exercise period set forth in or contemplated by the agreement evidencing the option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.3 hereof, then Employee shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit under this Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.1(c) and (d) and Employee has attained Retirement Eligibility, then Employee shall be entitled to the greater of the payment or benefit under Section 3.1(c) and (d), determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the one hand, or Section 3.2, determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the other hand. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the determination of the Eligible RSAs shall assume that the date of Retirement Termination of Employment shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the termination of his or her employment regardless of whether such termination occurred due to a Termination of Employee’s Employment or a Retirement Termination of Employment. 3.2
Eligible Employees All Employees shall be Eligible Employees, except:
Active Employees At or before the Effective Time, New Ceridian shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, employ or continue to employ each New Ceridian Employee who, at the time such action is taken, is actively employed.

Employees and Benefits (a) As of the Closing, Seller shall terminate the employment of all of its Employees identified on Schedule 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Subject Employees”). Schedule 5.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule hereto may be amended from time to time prior to the Closing to (i) delete any individuals who are no longer employed by Seller or (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller, add or remove any other individuals. Purchaser, in cooperation with Seller, shall, at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Closing Date, extend a written offer of employment to those employees selected by Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Selected Employees”), at a level and with responsibilities that are substantially commensurate with their employment with Seller and at a wage or salary and other compensation not less than the respective wages or salaries and other compensation specified for such Selected Employees on Schedule 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule. Those Selected Employees who accept offers of employment with Purchaser and who become employees of Purchaser as of the Closing Date are referred to as “Transferred Employees.” Purchaser agrees that in the event that it determines that it may not offer employment to sufficient numbers of employees to avoid the notice and other requirements of the WARN Act, Purchaser will give Seller immediate notice thereof which will be sufficiently in advance of the Closing of the purchase of the Business that Seller will be able to comply with the notice requirements of the WARN Act and Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any liability or obligations under the WARN Act if Purchaser should fail to do so or if Seller otherwise incurs liability under the WARN Act as a result of Purchaser’s actions in connection with this transaction.
Termination of Employee Plans The Company shall have provided Parent with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Parent, as to the termination of the benefit plans referred to in Section 5.9.
