Seller's Employees Purchaser will interview and evaluate in accordance with its normal employment procedures those Persons employed as field personnel in the capacity of pumper, foreman, operator, technician, mechanic, superintendent, repairman, utility man, or other similar field classifications by Seller in connection with the Subject Properties and identified by letter of even date herewith from Seller to Purchaser who desire to be considered for employment by Purchaser, and will offer in writing employment to those Persons for whom Purchaser in its sole discretion determines a need. If Purchaser fails to offer such employment to all of such Persons, Purchaser shall not, as a result of such failure, otherwise be in default under this Agreement, but shall be required to reimburse Seller for severance benefits paid by Seller to each such Person not offered employment by Purchaser; provided, that such reimbursement shall not exceed that amount determined by multiplying each such employee's normal weekly wage by twelve (12). Persons offered employment with Purchaser will be offered employment at their current work location with compensation and benefits comparable to those provided to Purchaser's current employees performing similar tasks, or, if none, with compensation and benefits comparable to those provided by Seller Such offers shall be made prior to Closing, but shall be contingent upon the occurrence of Closing and such employment shall not commence until Closing. If any such Person employed by Purchaser is terminated by Purchaser within six (6) months of Closing, Purchaser shall pay such Person a severance benefit equal to the amount determined by multiplying each such employee's normal weekly wage by ten (10). Purchaser shall have no obligation under this Section 13.19 with respect to Persons offered employment by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.19 who decline such employment, except that the foregoing provisions shall apply to the extent that such Person accepts employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within twelve (12) months of Closing.
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.

Transferred Employees Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment to each Applicable Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as provided in an individual employment Contract with any Applicable Employee or as required by the terms of an Assumed Plan, offers of employment to Applicable Employees whose employment rights are subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement as of the Closing Date, shall be made in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and Purchaser’s obligations under the Labor Management Relations Act of 1974, as amended. Each offer of employment to an Applicable Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement shall provide, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, for (i) base salary or hourly wage rates initially at least equal to such Applicable Employee’s base salary or hourly wage rate in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee pension and welfare benefits, Contracts and arrangements that are not less favorable in the aggregate than those listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, but not including any Retained Plan, equity or equity-based compensation plans or any Benefit Plan that does not comply in all respects with TARP. For the avoidance of doubt, each Applicable Employee on layoff status, leave status or with recall rights as of the Closing Date, shall continue in such status and/or retain such rights after Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business. Each Applicable Employee who accepts employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and commences working for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall become a “Transferred Employee.” To the extent such offer of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates is not accepted, Sellers shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, terminate the employment of all such Applicable Employees. Nothing in this Section 6.17(a) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. It is understood that the intent of this Section 6.17(a) is to provide a seamless transition from Sellers to Purchaser of any Applicable Employee subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Except for Applicable Employees with non- standard individual agreements providing for severance benefits, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it shall provide to each Transferred Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and whose employment is involuntarily terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, severance benefits that are not less favorable than the severance benefits such Transferred Employee would have received under the applicable Benefit Plans listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary such that Transferred Employees shall be credited for their actual and credited service with Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (except in the case of a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees may commence participation after the Closing that is not an Assumed Plan), in any employee benefit plans (excluding equity compensation plans or programs) covering Transferred Employees after the Closing to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of any of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit to any such Transferred Employee or the funding for any such benefit. Such benefits shall not be subject to any exclusion for any pre-existing conditions to the extent such conditions were satisfied by such Transferred Employees under a Parent Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and credit shall be provided for any deductible or out-of-pocket amounts paid by such Transferred Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

Transferred Contracts The Transferred Contracts listed on Exhibit C are all of the contracts between Aradigm and any Third Party currently necessary for or primarily related to, the operation of the Business, and true and complete copies of all such Transferred Contracts have been delivered or made available to Purchaser or its representatives. Each Transferred Contract is in full force and effect and, to Aradigm’s knowledge, Aradigm is not subject to any default thereunder, nor, to Aradigm’s knowledge, is any party obligated to Aradigm pursuant to any such Transferred Contract subject to any default thereunder.

Aradigm has obtained, or will obtain prior to the Closing, all necessary consents, waivers and approvals of parties to any Transferred Contract as are required thereunder in connection with the Closing, or for any such Transferred Contract to be transferred to Purchaser, and to remain in full force and effect without limitation, modification or alteration after the Closing. Following the Closing, Purchaser will be permitted to exercise all of the rights Aradigm had under the Transferred Contracts without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which Aradigm would otherwise be required to pay pursuant to the terms of such Transferred Contracts had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred.
