Prior to Closing Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of employees of the Stations that Seller does not intend to retain after Closing. Buyer may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other employees of Seller. Buyer is obligated to hire only those employees that are under employment contracts (and assume Seller's obligations and liabilities under such employment contracts) which are included in the Station Contracts. With respect to employees hired by Buyer ("Transferred Employees"), to the extent permitted by law Seller shall provide Buyer access to its personnel records and such other information as Buyer may reasonably request prior to Closing. With respect to such hired employees, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and accrued employee benefits payable by it until Closing and thereafter Buyer shall be responsible for all such obligations payable by it. Buyer shall cause all employees it hires to be eligible to participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(l) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in which similarly situated employees are generally eligible to participate; provided, however, that all such employees and their spouses and dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately after Closing (and shall not be excluded from coverage on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent provided under such plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of service in any such plan for which such employees may be eligible after Closing, Buyer shall ensure that service with Seller shall be deemed to have been service with the Buyer. In addition, Buyer shall ensure that each such employee receives credit under any welfare benefit plan of Buyer for any deductibles or co- payments paid by such employees and dependents for the current plan year under a plan maintained by Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall grant credit to each such employee for all unused sick leave accrued as of Closing as an employee of Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall assume and discharge Seller's liabilities for the payment of all unused vacation leave accrued by such employees as of Closing.
The Sellers Section 9.01
SELLERS 20 The member states initially anticipate that they will provide a monetary allowance to sellers 21 under Model 2 based on the following:
Prior to the Closing the Buyer shall provide to Seller a list of those employees of the Company whose employment Buyer intends to terminate after the Closing (the "Identified Employees") and Seller shall cause the Company prior to the Closing to show on its Financial Statements and the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, a liability equal to the amount that the Identified Employees would be eligible to receive under Company's severance pay plan and any pay-in-lieu-of-vacation arrangement offered by the Company and all employment taxes thereon computed as if the Company had terminated such employees' employment at Closing. As to such Identified Employees, Seller shall have the sole option to determine if the Identified Employees shall continue to be employed by Seller or its Affiliates or be transferred to other divisions or facilities of the Seller or its Affiliates. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to retain as many of the Company employees as is feasible. Buyer shall treat all service completed by an employee with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, and any predecessor thereto, the same as service completed with Buyer for all purposes, including waiting periods relating to preexisting conditions under medical plans, vacations, severance pay, eligibility to participate in, vesting or payment of benefits under, and eligibility for early retirement or any subsidized benefit provided for under, any employee benefit plan (including, but not limited to, any "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained by Buyer on or after the Closing Date, except for purposes of computing benefits under the actual benefit formula in a defined benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA). Prior to the Closing, Seller shall furnish Buyer with a list of the length of service with the Company or its Affiliates, or any predecessor thereof, for each of the Employees. For purposes of computing deductible amounts (or like adjustments or limitations on coverage) under any employee welfare benefit plan (including, without limitation, any "employee welfare benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), expenses and claims previously recognized for similar purposes under the applicable welfare benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate shall be credited or recognized under the comparable plan maintained after the Closing Date by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall not be required to permit the employees of the Company to participate in the Buyer's 401(k) plan prior to the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing after the Closing Date.
