(v)           Except as set forth in Section 6.6(a)(v) of the Disclosure Letter, starting on the Closing Date and ending on the date one (1) year after the Closing Date or any longer period as required under local employment Laws, each Transferred Employee who remains employed by Purchaser and/or one of its Subsidiaries shall be employed by Purchaser and/or one of its Subsidiaries on terms no less favorable than the Current Employment Terms and participate in employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements of Purchaser and/or one of its Subsidiaries (the “Purchaser Plans”) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date with respect to such Transferred Employee and not inconsistent with the Current Employment Terms, and shall be offered any other additional terms and conditions of employment by Purchaser and/or one of its Subsidiaries required by local employment Laws; provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries to provide the Transferred Employees with any defined benefit pension plans; and provided, further, that Purchaser shall provide U.S. Transferred Employees with the retiree medical benefits described in Section 6.6(a)(v) of the Disclosure Letter.

(b)           Seller shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employees or their covered dependents prior to the Closing Date. Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents on or after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. For purposes of this paragraph, a claim is deemed incurred: in the case of medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of disability benefits, when the disability occurs; in the case of workers compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the benefits occurs; and otherwise, at the time the Transferred Employee or covered dependent becomes entitled to payment of a benefit (assuming that all procedural requirements are satisfied and claims applications properly and timely completed and submitted).

(c)           With respect to any plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), or any plan that would be a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) if it were subject to ERISA, maintained by Purchaser, Purchaser shall (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition and waiting periods and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, such employees during the plan year of the applicable plan sponsored by Seller or one of its Subsidiaries during which the Closing occurs with respect to similar plans maintained by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d)           Transferred Employees shall be given credit for all service with Seller, any of its Subsidiaries, and any predecessor employer for which Seller credited service, including without limitation, Angel, Hewlett Packard or their Subsidiaries, to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Seller, under each Purchaser Plan in which such Transferred Employees are eligible to participate for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefits accrual (other than under any equity or quasi-equity compensation plan or under a defined benefit pension plan either (A) in which no assets are transferred or for which no other compensation, including an adjustment to the Purchase Price, is received by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or (B) which would result in the duplication of benefits accrual for the same period of service).

(e)           Except as required by applicable Law or as may be agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, as of the Closing Date the Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under the employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by Seller and its Subsidiaries and shall commence participation in the Purchaser Plans. Seller and Seller Parent shall take all necessary actions to allow such Transferred Employees to rollover any associated loan notes to the extent permitted under the Seller 401(k) plan. Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to permit each such Transferred Employee who has received an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from the Seller 401(k) Plan, if any, to roll such eligible rollover distribution, including any associated loans, as part of any lump sum distribution to the extent permitted by the Seller 401(k) Plan into an account under a 401(k) plan maintained by Purchaser (the “Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan”).
