effect with respect to any such person as of the Distribution Date under the ADP Welfare Plans, (ii) honor all deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by CDK Participants under the ADP Welfare Plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any CDK Welfare Plans during the same plan year in which such deductible and out-of-pocket maximums were made, and (iii) waive all waiting period limitations and evidence of insurability requirements that would otherwise be applicable to a CDK Participant following the Distribution Date, to the extent that such CDK Participant had satisfied any similar limitation under the analogous ADP Welfare Plan.

(c) Reimbursement Account Plan. Effective as of the Effective Time, CDK (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall have established a health care, limited purpose health care and dependent care reimbursement account plan (the “CDK Reimbursement Account Plan”) with features that are comparable to those contained in the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Health Care, Limited Purpose Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts Plan (the “ADP Reimbursement Account Plan”). With respect to CDK Participants, effective as of the Effective Time, CDK (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall assume responsibility for administering all reimbursement claims of CDK Participants with respect to calendar year 2014, whether arising before, on, or after the Distribution Date, under the CDK Reimbursement Account Plan and, for the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Distribution Date, no additional claims shall be reimbursed with respect to CDK Participants under the ADP Reimbursement Account Plan. ADP shall, as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, determine (i) the sum of all contributions to the ADP Reimbursement Account Plan made with respect to calendar year 2014 by or on behalf of all CDK Participants, as a whole, prior to the Effective Time (the “Aggregate Pre-Effective Time Contributions”) and (ii) the sum of all claims incurred in calendar year 2014 and paid by the ADP Reimbursement Account Plan with respect to such CDK Participants, as a whole, prior to the Effective Time (the “Aggregate Pre-Effective Time Disbursements”). If the Aggregate Pre-Effective Time Contributions exceed the Aggregate Pre-Effective Time Disbursements, ADP shall, as soon as practicable following ADP’s determination of the Aggregate Pre-Effective Time Contributions and Pre-Effective Time Disbursements, transfer to CDK an amount in cash equal to such difference. If the Aggregate Pre-Effective Time Disbursements exceed the Aggregate Pre-Effective Time Contributions, CDK shall, upon ADP’s reasonable request and the presentation of such substantiating documentation as CDK shall reasonably request, transfer to ADP an amount in cash equal to such difference.

(d) Continuation of Elections. With respect to CDK Participants, as of the Effective Time, CDK (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall cause the CDK Welfare Plans to recognize and maintain all elections and designations (including, without limitation, all coverage and contribution elections and beneficiary designations (other than beneficiary designations under the voluntary employee-pay Group Universal Life Insurance program)) made by CDK Participants under, or with respect to, the ADP Welfare Plans and apply such elections and designations under the CDK Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods for which such elections or designations are by their original terms applicable, to the extent that such election or

 

12


designation is available under the corresponding CDK Welfare Plan. As of the Effective Time, CDK shall cause any CDK Welfare Plan that constitutes a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code to recognize and give effect to all non-elective employer contributions payable and paid toward coverage of a CDK Participant under the corresponding ADP Welfare Plan that constitutes a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code for the applicable cafeteria plan year.

(e) COBRA and HIPAA. ADP (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall be responsible for administering compliance with the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA applicable to the ADP Welfare Plans with respect to CDK Participants. The Parties hereto agree that the Distribution shall not constitute a COBRA qualifying event for any purposes of COBRA. ADP shall, or shall cause one or more members of the ADP Group to, assume or retain, as applicable, all Liabilities in respect of COBRA for Former CDK Employees or a beneficiary, dependent or alternate payee thereof who are receiving COBRA coverage on the Distribution Date.

(f) Liabilities. CDK (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall fully perform, pay and discharge, under the CDK Welfare Plans, all claims of CDK Participants from and after the Effective Time that are incurred on or after the Effective Time. ADP (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall fully perform, pay and discharge, under the ADP Welfare Plans, all claims of CDK Participants that are incurred prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Section 5.1(f), a claim is deemed incurred (A) with respect to medical, dental, vision and prescription drug benefits, upon the rendering of health services giving rise to such claim; (B) with respect to life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and business travel accident insurance, upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim; (C) with respect to disability benefits, upon the date of an individual’s disability giving rise to such claim, as determined by the disability benefit insurance carrier or claim administrator; and (D) with respect to a period of continuous hospitalization, upon the date of admission to the hospital.

Section 5.2 ADP VEBA. In no event shall any of the assets held under the ADP VEBA be transferred to CDK (or any of its Affiliates) or to any CDK Benefit Plan.

Section 5.3 Time-Off Benefits. CDK shall credit each CDK Participant with the amount of accrued but unused vacation time, sick time and other time-off benefits as such CDK Participant had with ADP (or with any Affiliate) as of the Effective Time.

13


Section 6.2 ADP Plan. ADP shall remain responsible for the payment of all benefits under the ADP SORP that are otherwise due and owing to all CDK Participants. Other than as specifically agreed to in writing by ADP, each CDK Employee shall, for all purposes of the ADP SORP, be treated as terminating employment with ADP and with all of its Affiliates at the Effective Time. For purposes of clarification, the amounts that ADP is required to pay to CDK Participants are intended to be ADP Liabilities as such term is defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Section 7.1 CDK Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective as of the Effective Time, CDK shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, establish a nonqualified deferred compensation plan to benefit CDK Participants who prior to the Effective Time had deferred bonus amounts under the ADP Deferred Compensation Plan (the “CDK Deferred Compensation Plan”). Effective as of the Effective Time, CDK hereby agrees to cause the CDK Deferred Compensation Plan to assume responsibility for all Liabilities and fully perform, pay and discharge all obligations, when such obligations become due, of the ADP Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to all CDK Participants therein. CDK (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities and other obligations with respect to the CDK Deferred Compensation Plan. The CDK Deferred Compensation Plan shall have substantially similar terms and conditions as the ADP Deferred Compensation Plan, except that the CDK Deferred Compensation Plan need not provide for any company matching contributions.

Section 7.2 Continuation of Elections. As of the Effective Time, CDK (acting directly or through an Affiliate) shall cause the CDK Deferred Compensation Plan to recognize and maintain all elections (including deferral, distribution and investment elections) and beneficiary designations with respect to CDK Participants under the ADP Deferred Compensation Plan.

Section 8.2 Treatment of Outstanding Shares of ADP Restricted Stock Held by CDK Employees. Each share of ADP Restricted Stock held by a CDK Employee as of the Distribution Date shall be substituted with restricted shares of CDK Common Stock (“CDK Restricted Stock”) issued under the CDK Stock Plan and subject to terms and conditions after the Distribution that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding ADP Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Distribution. The number of shares of CDK Restricted Stock to which a CDK Employee is entitled pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall equal the product of (x) the number of shares of ADP Restricted Stock held by such CDK Employee immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (y) the CDK Equity Conversion Ratio, with fractional shares (after aggregation) rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Section 8.3 Treatment of Outstanding ADP Restricted Stock Units Held by CDK Employees. Each ADP Restricted Stock Unit held by a CDK Employee as of the Distribution Date shall be substituted with restricted stock units to be settled in CDK Common Stock (“CDK Restricted Stock Units”) issued under the CDK Stock Plan and subject to terms and conditions after the Distribution that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding ADP Restricted Stock Units immediately prior to the Distribution. The number of CDK Restricted Stock Units to which a CDK Employee is entitled pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall equal the product of (x) the number of ADP Restricted Stock Units held by such CDK Employee immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (y) the CDK Equity Conversion Ratio, with fractional shares (after aggregation) rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Section 9.2 Severance Benefits.

(a) Assumption of Severance Liabilities. Following the Effective Time, ADP shall have no Liability or responsibility to pay any benefits to any CDK Employee pursuant to the terms of the ADP Severance Policy.

15


course, all Liabilities with respect to the outstanding and unpaid severance pay and benefits in respect of each Former CDK Employee who as of the Effective Time is receiving severance pay and benefits (whether pursuant to the ADP Severance Policy or an agreement between such Former CDK Employee and any member of the ADP Group or the CDK Group, as applicable).

(b) Effect of the Separation on Severance. ADP and CDK acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall not constitute a termination of employment of any CDK Employee for purposes of any policy, plan, program or agreement of ADP or CDK or any member of the ADP Group or the CDK Group that provides for the payment of severance, separation pay, salary continuation or similar benefits in the event of a termination of employment.

Section 9.3 Workers’ Compensation Liabilities.

(a) Pre-Distribution Date Claims. Effective as of the Effective Time, all workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by a CDK Employee that results from an accident, incident or event occurring, or from an occupational disease that becomes manifest, before the Effective Time shall be the sole and exclusive liability of CDK.

(b) Post-Distribution Date Claims. All workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by a CDK Employee that results from an accident, incident or event occurring, or from an occupational disease that becomes manifest, on or after the Effective Time shall be the sole and exclusive Liability of CDK.

Such Information shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, be provided in the format and at the times and places requested, but in no event shall the Party providing such Information be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket expenses not reimbursed by the Party making such request or make such Information available outside of its normal business hours and premises. Any Information shared or exchanged pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the same

 

16


confidentiality requirements set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. The Parties also hereby agree to enter into any business associate agreements that may be required for the sharing of any Information pursuant to this Agreement to comply with the requirements of HIPAA.

Section 10.2 Reasonable Efforts/Cooperation. Each of the Parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, adopting plans or plan amendments. Each of the Parties hereto shall cooperate fully on any issue relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the other Party seeks a determination letter or private letter ruling from the IRS, an advisory opinion from the DOL or any other filing, consent or approval with respect to or by a Governmental Authority.

Section 10.3 Employer Rights.

Section 10.4 Non-Termination of Employment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement, no provision of this Agreement or the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any ADP Employee or CDK Employee or other future, present, or former employee of any member of the ADP Group or the CDK Group under any ADP Benefit Plan or CDK Benefit Plan or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the occurrence of the Distribution alone shall not cause any employee to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment that entitles such individual to the commencement of benefits under any of the ADP Benefit Plans. Furthermore, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or persons any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any employee or former employee of ADP, CDK or either of their respective Affiliates any right to continued employment, or any recall or similar rights to an individual on layoff or any type of approved leave.

Section 10.8 Not a Change in Control. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement and this Agreement do not constitute a “change in control” for purposes of any ADP Benefit Plan or CDK Benefit Plan.
