Section 2.02 Service Credit. The Veoneer Benefit Plans shall, and Veoneer shall cause each member of the Veoneer Group to, recognize each Veoneer Group Employee’s and each Former Veoneer Group Employee’s full service with Autoliv or any of its Subsidiaries or predecessor entities at or before the Effective Time, to the same extent that such service was credited by Autoliv for similar purposes prior to the Effective Time as if such full service had been performed for a member of the Veoneer Group, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and determination of level of benefits under any such Veoneer Benefit Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing service recognition shall not apply to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of services.

(ii) Unless expressly provided for in this Agreement, in the Distribution Agreement, or in any other Ancillary Agreement, or required by applicable Law, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to, or accelerate vesting or entitlements to, any compensation or benefit whatsoever under any program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the Autoliv Group or member of the Veoneer Group on the part of any Employee or Former Employee.

(f) Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party and such consent is withheld, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the applicable provision of this Agreement to the full extent practicable.
