(a) Except as may be provided in the License Agreements, as soon as practicable after the Closing (but in no event later than 20 Business Days thereafter), Legg Mason shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the name of each CAM Registered Investment Company and CAM Non-Registered Fund, as applicable, and shall cause the certificate of incorporation (or equivalent organizational documents) of each CAM Transferred Subsidiary to be amended to remove any reference to the Citigroup Principal Marks or any other Trademarks owned by Citigroup or any of its Affiliates from the name of such Person, and within 90 days from the Closing, Legg Mason shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the applicable documents relating thereto with the appropriate Governmental Authorities, if required pursuant to the Requirements of Law.

 

(b) Except as may be provided in the License Agreements, as soon as practicable after the Closing (but in no event later than 20 Business Days thereafter), Citigroup shall cause the certificate of incorporation (or equivalent organizational documents) of each PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary to be amended to remove any reference to the Legg Mason Principal Marks or any other Trademarks owned by Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates from the name of such PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary, and within 90 days from the Closing, Citigroup shall file the applicable documents relating thereto with the appropriate Governmental Authorities, if required pursuant to the Requirements of Law.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Citigroup shall cause the consummation of the transactions and actions contemplated by Exhibit H (such transactions and actions, the “CAM Restructuring”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Trademark which includes the terms “CITI,” “SMITH BARNEY,” “SALOMON,” “CSSB,” “SB,” “Uncommon Values,” “Uncommon Value,” “TRAVELERS” or “BANK HANDLOWY” or any variation thereof or the Arc, Blue Wave or Umbrella design (the “Citigroup Principal Marks”) shall be owned by any CAM Transferred Subsidiary following the CAM Restructuring.

 

Section 1.24 CAM Employee Matters. Section 6.14 of the Original Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Section 6.14 CAM Employee Matters.

 

(a) General

 

(i) Prior to the Closing, to the extent permitted under Requirement of Law and regulatory authority, Citigroup shall take all reasonable actions necessary such that all the CAM Business Employees and only the CAM Business Employees shall be employed by a CAM Transferred Subsidiary; provided, however, that Citigroup may cause the transfer of employment of any CAM Non-

 

24


Continuing Business Employee to any Subsidiary of Citigroup other than a CAM Transferred Subsidiary (any such employee who is so transferred, a “CAM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee”).

 

(ii) No later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing to each CAM Business Employee employed in the United States (a “U.S. CAM Business Employee”), other than any U.S. CAM Business Employee employed by a CAM Transferred Subsidiary, any CAM Non-Continuing Business Employee, and any CAM Leave Employee, on terms and conditions such that the termination by Citigroup or any of its Affiliates of such employee’s employment would not entitle such employee to severance under Appendix C of the plan attached hereto as Section 6.14(a) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter (the “CAM Severance Plan”).

 

(iii) In addition, no later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing Date to each CAM Business Employee employed outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee”), other than any Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee employed by a CAM Transferred Subsidiary, any CAM Non-Continuing Business Employee, and any CAM Leave Employee on terms and conditions which replicate (to the extent (a) required by applicable local Requirement of Law and (b) practicable if Citigroup shall not have supplied to Legg Mason the information described in Section 6.14(m) hereof) the terms and conditions in effect with respect to such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

 

(iv) After the Closing, subject to the second sentence of Section 6.14(a)(v), Legg Mason shall offer employment to each CAM Business Employee listed on Section 6.14(a)(iii) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter (a “CAM Leave Employee”) effective as of such time as the CAM Leave Employee actually reports for active employment with Legg Mason promptly following release by such employee’s physician to return to active employment or promptly following expiration of approved leave; provided, however, that Legg Mason shall not be required to offer employment under this provision to any CAM Leave Employee who does not apply for such employment within 180 days following the Closing Date. Citigroup shall retain liability and responsibility for any CAM Leave Employee until such employee becomes an employee of Legg Mason or, if earlier, until such employee’s employment with Citigroup terminates. Legg Mason shall assume all liabilities and responsibilities for each CAM Leave Employee accruing on and after the date such CAM Leave Employee becomes an employee of Legg Mason.

 

(v) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in no event shall the failure by Legg Mason to make an offer to a CAM Business Employee employed by a CAM Transferred Subsidiary on the Closing Date constitute a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, Legg Mason may make its offer of employment contingent on (a) the CAM Business Employee consenting to,

 

25


cooperating with, and satisfying Legg Mason’s standard new-employee on-boarding process, including background checks, fingerprinting and drug testing; (b) if applicable, the CAM Business Employee providing evidence that complies with the Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986 that he or she is eligible for employment; and (c) the CAM Business Employee executing Legg Mason’s standard employment application, receipt and acknowledgement of Legg Mason’s employee handbook (which includes, among other things, Legg Mason’s Code of Conduct and Insider Trading Policy) and FCRA Release as required by Legg Mason. Any CAM Business Employee who fails to comply with any of such requirements is hereinafter referred to as an “Excluded CAM Business Employee.”

 

(vi) Each CAM Business Employee who either accepts an offer of employment under Section 6.14(a) (other than an Excluded CAM Business Employee) or who is employed by the CAM Transferred Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date is referred to herein as a “CAM Continuing Business Employee.” Subject to Section 6.14(b), nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit the ability of Legg Mason or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any CAM Continuing Business Employee.

 

(b) If any CAM Business Employee who does not become a CAM Continuing Business Employee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any Excluded CAM Business Employee or any CAM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee) becomes entitled to severance, redundancy or other similar types of payments or benefits as a result of or in connection with the Transactions (including salary paid in lieu of notice required by the WARN Act as a result of or in connection with the Transactions), Legg Mason shall be responsible (or shall reimburse Citigroup) for any such payments or benefits; provided, however, that Legg Mason shall not be responsible for any such payments or benefits provided to (i) any individual not employed by a CAM Transferred Subsidiary who receives an offer of employment from Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates, which offer satisfies the requirements of Section 6.14(a) or (ii) any CAM Leave Employee who does not report for employment with Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates in accordance with Section 6.14(a)(iv) or who receives an offer of employment from Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates, which offer satisfies the requirements of Section 6.14(a). For a period commencing on the Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing, Legg Mason shall provide (to the extent practicable in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code) to each CAM Continuing Business Employee whose employment is terminated by Legg Mason, or at the request of Legg Mason, following the Closing Date in a manner that would entitle such CAM Continuing Business Employee to severance payments and benefits under the CAM Severance Plan (a “CAM Qualifying Termination”), severance payments and benefits not less favorable than the greater of the severance payments and benefits that would have been provided to such CAM Continuing Business Employee under the severance provisions described in Section 6.15(a)(ii) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter and the CAM Severance Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, taking into account

 

26


all service with Legg Mason and its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date plus all service recognized by Citigroup or one of its Affiliates prior to the Closing.

 

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Citigroup shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or offer employment to any CAM Business Employee (including, but not limited to, Excluded CAM Business Employees); provided that the foregoing provision shall not prohibit Citigroup or any of its Affiliates from soliciting or offering employment to persons (i) who respond to a general solicitation or advertisement that is not specifically directed only to CAM Business Employees (and nothing shall prohibit the making of any such solicitation or advertisement), (ii) who are referred to Citigroup by search firms, employment agencies or other similar entities, provided that such entities have been advised of the restrictions contained in this Agreement and have not been specifically instructed by Citigroup to solicit the CAM Business Employees, (iii) who incur a CAM Qualifying Termination, (iv) who are CAM Non-Continuing Business Employees and (v) who are CAM Continuing Business Employees who have been notified in writing by Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates that their employment will be terminated prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “CAM Transitional Business Employees”). No offer of employment by Citigroup or one of its Affiliates to any CAM Transitional Business Employee shall be effective prior to the employee’s last scheduled day of employment as specified in the notice referred to in the previous sentence. Legg Mason shall, no later than 90 days following the date hereof, provide to Citigroup a list of those CAM Business Employees whom Legg Mason has determined it does not intend to continue to employ following the Closing Date (each, a “CAM Non-Continuing Business Employee”).

 

(d) From the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the U.S. CAM Business Employees who are also CAM Continuing Business Employees, as a group, compensation and benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of Legg Mason; provided, however, that the determination of whether such compensation and benefits are no less favorable shall not take into account (i) any defined benefit pension plan and (ii) retiree medical benefits. From the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee who is also a CAM Continuing Business Employee, base pay and benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to such Non-U.S. CAM Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any CAM Continuing Business Employee is subject to a transition services agreement that provides for such employee to be covered by benefit plans of Citigroup or its Affiliates until a date following the Closing Date, the applicable protection period with respect to benefits shall begin on the date on which the CAM Continuing Business Employee commences participation in the benefit plans of Legg Mason or its Affiliates and end on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

27


(e) Effective as of the Closing Date or, for any CAM Continuing Business Employee who is subject to a transition services agreement that provides for such employee to be covered by benefit plans of Citigroup or its Affiliates until a date following the Closing Date, effective as of the date on which the CAM Continuing Business Employee commences participation in the benefit plans of Legg Mason or its Affiliates (the applicable date, the “CAM Benefit Transfer Date”), Legg Mason shall (i) use reasonable efforts to waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to CAM Continuing Business Employees under any health and welfare plan of Legg Mason or its Affiliates in which such CAM Continuing Business Employees may be eligible to participate after the CAM Benefit Transfer Date, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the corresponding health and welfare plan in which any such CAM Continuing Business Employee participated immediately prior to the CAM Benefit Transfer Date, (ii) use reasonable efforts to cause to be provided to each CAM Continuing Business Employee credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the plan year in which the CAM Benefit Transfer Date occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any health and welfare plans of Legg Mason or its Affiliates in which such CAM Continuing Business Employees may be eligible to participate after the CAM Benefit Transfer Date and (iii) cause to be provided to each CAM Continuing Business Employee credit for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting and amount of benefits), for all service recognized by Citigroup or its Affiliates under the corresponding CAM Benefit Plan, under each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Legg Mason or its Affiliates in which such CAM Continuing Business Employees are eligible to participate after the CAM Benefit Transfer Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the CAM Continuing Business Employees be entitled to service credit to the extent that such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

 

(f) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.14(d), as of the CAM Benefit Transfer Date, Legg Mason shall, in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 125 of the Code, use its reasonable efforts to cause each CAM Continuing Business Employee who participates in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account of Citigroup or any Affiliate of Citigroup (the “Citigroup FSA”) to be credited under the Health Care Flexible Spending Account of Legg Mason or any Affiliate of Legg Mason (the “Legg Mason FSA”) with amounts that give effect to elections made by the CAM Continuing Business Employee under the Citigroup FSA for the plan year in which the CAM Benefit Transfer Date occurs.

 

(g) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.14(d), as of the CAM Benefit Transfer Date, Legg Mason shall, in a manner that is intended to

 

28


comply with Section 125 of the Code, use its reasonable efforts to cause each CAM Continuing Business Employee who participates in the Dependant Care Spending Account of Citigroup or any Affiliate of Citigroup (the “Citigroup DCAP”) to be credited under the Dependent Care Spending Account of Legg Mason or any Affiliate of Legg Mason (the “Legg Mason DCAP”) with amounts that give effect to elections made by the CAM Continuing Business Employee under the Citigroup DCAP for the plan year in which the CAM Benefit Transfer Date occurs.

 

(h) Effective as of the Closing, no CAM Continuing Business Employee shall actively participate in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, CAM Continuing Business Employees who participate in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan (the “CAM 401(k) Participants”) shall immediately be 100% vested in their individual account balances under the Citigroup 401(k) Plan. Unless otherwise required by Requirements of Law, on or after January 1, 2006, such account balances may be transferred by the CAM 401(k) Participants to the Legg Mason Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “Legg Mason 401(k) Plan”) in a rollover contribution. Prior to the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall, to the extent necessary, amend the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan to the extent necessary to enable CAM 401(k) Participants to make rollover contributions to the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan, which, only in the case of a CAM 401(k) Participant who rolls over his or her account balance within 90 days following the Closing Date, may include any outstanding loans from the Citigroup 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing, Citigroup shall fully vest each CAM Continuing Business Employee in his or her accrued benefit under the Citigroup Pension Plan.

 

(i) Citigroup shall cause all CAM Continuing Business Employees who participate in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date to receive a pro rata matching contribution, at the rate specified in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan for the plan year that includes the Closing Date, which matching contribution shall otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of the Citigroup 401(k) Plan.

 

(j) Legg Mason shall be obligated to pay CAM Continuing Business Employees entitled to annual cash bonuses under each of the CAM Benefit Plans that provide for payment of annual cash bonuses (which CAM Benefit Plans are listed in Section 6.14(j) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter) the annual cash bonuses for (i) the bonus year of the CAM Subsidiaries that includes the Closing Date (the “Current CAM Bonus Year”) and (ii) the bonus year of the CAM Subsidiaries completed prior to the Current CAM Bonus Year (the “Prior CAM Bonus Year”), in each case if not previously paid. The liability for the pro rata portion of the annual cash bonuses that Legg Mason is obligated to pay for the Current CAM Bonus Year shall be included on the CAM Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. The liability for the pro rata portion described in the preceding sentence shall be the amount determined under the annual cash bonus plans and formulas of Citigroup in effect on the date of this Agreement. A liability for annual cash bonuses Legg Mason may be obligated to pay for the Prior CAM Bonus Year, if any, shall be included

 

29


on the CAM Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the CAM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, and shall be the amount determined by Citigroup under the annual cash bonus plans and formulas of Citigroup in effect during such year. The actual amount of the annual cash bonuses to be paid (or vested, but payable in the future) by Legg Mason to CAM Continuing Business Employees for the Current CAM Bonus Year and, if applicable, the Prior CAM Bonus Year, shall be made in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code and in no event be less than the amount of the liability calculated pursuant to this Section 6.14(j). Citigroup agrees to consult in a reasonable and timely manner with Legg Mason in respect of the amount of any prior cash bonuses and annual cash bonuses payable to U.S. CAM Business Employees who are reasonably expected to become CAM Continuing Business Employees for the bonus year, if any, of the CAM Subsidiaries that ends after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date.

 

(k) Effective immediately prior to the Closing, Citigroup shall in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code, cause each unvested stock option to purchase shares of Citigroup common stock that was granted to a CAM Continuing Business Employee other than a CAM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee pursuant to each of the CAM Benefit Plans listed in Section 6.14(k)(i) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter to become fully vested, and once fully vested, such stock option shall remain exercisable in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that with respect to each CAM Business Employee listed in Section 6.14(k)(ii) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter, each such unvested stock option shall vest if and only at such time that such CAM Business Employee commences employment with Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates following acceptance of an offer made pursuant to Section 6.14(a)(iii) of this Agreement or, if earlier, such CAM Business Employee’s employment is terminated in manner entitling such employee to severance pursuant to Section 6.14(b) of this Agreement.

 

(l) In respect of each CAM Continuing Business Employee who, as a result of the Closing, forfeits (i) Citigroup restricted shares, phantom shares, or deferred stock units that were granted pursuant to any of the CAM Benefit Plans listed in Section 6.14(l) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter (each, a “CAM Forfeited Equity Award”) and/or (ii) any portion of his or her account under the CAM Deferred Incentive Plan (such portion, the “Forfeited DIP Account”), Legg Mason shall establish, in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code effective as of the Closing Date, one or more replacement awards the aggregate value of which shall be based on the sum of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Citigroup Common Stock underlying the CAM Forfeited Equity Awards multiplied by the average of the high and low trading prices of Citigroup Common Stock on the Closing Date and (ii) the unvested account balances as of the Closing Date attributable to the Forfeited DIP Account (the “Citigroup Continuing Deferred Compensation Amount”). Each replacement award granted in respect of a CAM Forfeited Equity Award that it replaces shall be made in or denominated in shares of Legg Mason common stock or another notional

 

30


investment alternative with a value equal to the value of the shares underlying the CAM Forfeited Equity Award and shall otherwise contain terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the CAM Continuing Business Employee than those that would have applied if the CAM Forfeited Equity Award had continued to remain outstanding. Similarly, each replacement award granted in respect of a Forfeited DIP Account shall have a cash value (which may be denominated in stock or notional alternative investments, as determined by Legg Mason in its discretion) equal to the cash value of the Forfeited DIP Account on the first business day immediately preceding the Closing Date if such account had vested and been paid in accordance with the CAM Deferred Incentive Plan and shall otherwise contain terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the CAM Continuing Business Employee than those that would have applied if the employee had continued in employment with Citigroup or one of its Affiliates. For the purposes of each replacement award, to the extent applicable, service with Citigroup and its Affiliates shall be considered to be service with Legg Mason and its Affiliates for periods on and after the Closing Date. On the Closing Date prior to the Closing, Citigroup shall contribute to the capital of the CAM Transferred Subsidiaries an amount equal to the Citigroup Continuing Deferred Compensation Amount.

 

(m) No later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof, to the extent permitted by Requirement of Law, Citigroup shall deliver to Legg Mason the name, social security (or similar foreign term), home address, home telephone number, current annual salary rates, bonuses, deferred or contingent compensation, accrued vacation, and other like benefits paid or payable (in cash or otherwise), date of employment and job title of each CAM Continuing Business Employee. Citigroup shall use reasonable efforts to update the information provided pursuant the foregoing sentence as reasonably requested by Legg Mason.

 

(n) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days following the date hereof, Citigroup shall use reasonable efforts to provide Legg Mason with a list of each of the CAM Foreign Benefit Plans and (in each case, only if applicable) (i) each trust or other funding arrangement related for each such plan, and (ii) each summary plan description and summary of material modifications for each such plan.

 

(o) On or following the Closing, Citigroup or one of its Affiliates shall transfer to Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates (other than a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary) the assets identified in Section 6.14(o) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter and Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates (other than a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary) shall assume the liabilities described in Section 6.14(o) of the Citigroup Disclosure Letter. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Citigroup and Legg Mason shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute and deliver such documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to give effect to the foregoing transfer and assumption.

 

31


Section 1.25 PC/CM Employee Matters. Section 6.15 of the Original Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Section 6.15 PC/CM Employee Matters.

 

(a) General

 

(i) Prior to the Closing, to the extent permitted under Requirement of Law and regulatory authority, Legg Mason shall take all reasonable actions necessary such that all the PC/CM Business Employees and only the PC/CM Business Employees shall be employed by a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary; provided, however, that Legg Mason may cause the transfer of employment of any PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employee to any Subsidiary of Legg Mason other than a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary (any such employee who is so transferred, a “PC/CM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee”).

 

(ii) No later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Citigroup shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing to each PC/CM Business Employee employed in the United States (a “U.S. PC/CM Business Employee”), other than any U.S. PC/CM Business Employee employed by a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary, any PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employee, and any PC/CM Leave Employee on terms and conditions such that the termination by Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates of such employee’s employment would not entitle such employee to severance under Appendix F of the CAM Severance Plan (if such employee was an eligible salaried participant in such plan).

 

(iii) In addition, no later than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Citigroup shall offer employment to be effective as of the Closing Date to each PC/CM Business Employee employed outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. PC/CM Business Employee”), other than any Non-U.S. PC/CM Business Employee employed by a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary, any PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employee, and any PC/CM Leave Employee on terms and conditions which replicate (to the extent required by applicable local Requirement of Law) the terms and conditions in effect with respect to such employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

 

(iv) After the Closing, subject to the second sentence of Section 6.15(a)(v), Citigroup shall offer employment to each PC/CM Business Employee listed on Section 6.15(a)(iii) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter (a “PC/CM Leave Employee”) effective as of such time as the PC/CM Leave Employee actually reports for active employment with Citigroup promptly following release by such employee’s physician to return to active employment or promptly following expiration of approved leave; provided, however, that Citigroup shall not be required to offer employment under this provision to any PC/CM Leave Employee who does not apply for such employment within 180 days following the Closing Date. Legg Mason shall retain liability and responsibility for any PC/CM Leave Employee until such employee becomes an employee of Citigroup or, if earlier, until such employee’s employment with Legg Mason terminates.

 

32


Citigroup shall assume all liabilities and responsibilities for each PC/CM Leave Employee accruing on and after the date such PC/CM Leave Employee becomes an employee of Citigroup.

 

(v) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in no event shall the failure by Citigroup to make an offer to a PC/CM Business Employee employed by a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary on the Closing Date constitute a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, Citigroup may make its offer of employment contingent on (a) the PC/CM Business Employee consenting to, cooperating with, and satisfying Citigroup’s standard new-employee on-boarding process, including background checks, fingerprinting and drug testing; (b) if applicable, the PC/CM Business Employee providing evidence that complies with the Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986 that he or she is eligible for employment; and (c) the PC/CM Business Employee executing Citigroup’s standard Principles of Employment, confidentiality, Code of Conduct, arbitration and conflict of interest agreements as required by Citigroup. Any PC/CM Business Employee who fails to comply with any of such requirements is hereinafter referred to as an “Excluded PC/CM Business Employee.”

 

(vi) Each PC/CM Business Employee who either accepts an offer of employment under Section 6.15(a) (other than an Excluded PC/CM Business Employee) or who is employed by the PC/CM Transferred Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date is referred to herein as a “PC/CM Continuing Business Employee.” Subject to Section 6.15(b), nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit the ability of Citigroup or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any PC/CM Continuing Business Employee.

 

(b) If any PC/CM Business Employee who does not become a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any Excluded PC/CM Business Employee or any PC/CM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee) becomes entitled to severance, redundancy or other similar types of payments or benefits as a result of or in connection with the Transactions (including salary paid in lieu of notice required by the WARN Act as a result of or in connection with the Transactions), Citigroup shall be responsible (or shall reimburse Legg Mason) for any such payments or benefits; provided, however, that Citigroup shall not be responsible for any such payments or benefits provided to (i) any individual not employed by a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary who receives an offer of employment from Citigroup or one of its Affiliates, which offer satisfies the requirements of Section 6.15(a) (such individual, a “PC/CM Non-Accepting Business Employee”) or (ii) any PC/CM Leave Employee who does not report for employment with Citigroup or one of its Affiliates in accordance with Section 6.15(a)(iv) or who receives an offer of employment from Citigroup or one of its Affiliates, which offer satisfies the requirements of Section 6.15(a). For a period commencing on the Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing, Citigroup shall provide (to the extent practicable, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code) to

 

33


each PC/CM Continuing Business Employee (other than a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee who is employed on a part-time, temporary or contractual basis) whose employment is terminated by Citigroup, or at the request of Citigroup, following the Closing Date in a manner that would entitle such PC/CM Continuing Business Employee to severance payments and benefits under the CAM Severance Plan (a “PC/CM Qualifying Termination”), severance payments and benefits not less favorable than the greater of the severance payments and benefits described in Section 6.15(a)(ii) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter and the severance payments and benefits that would have been provided to such PC/CM Continuing Business Employee under the severance provisions for eligible salaried employees under Appendix F to the CAM Severance Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, taking into account all service with Citigroup and its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date plus all service recognized by Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Citigroup shall indemnify Legg Mason to the extent Legg Mason is required to make any payments or provide any benefits to any PC/CM Business Employee, other than a PC/CM Non-Accepting Business Employee, for any severance entitlements in excess of those contemplated by this Section 6.15(b) in connection with any such termination of employment. Legg Mason shall indemnify Citigroup to the extent Citigroup is required to make any payments or provide any benefits pursuant to a severance plan or policy of Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates in effect prior to the Closing on account of the deemed termination of employment of a PC/CM Business Employee employed by a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary with Legg Mason and its Affiliates on the Closing Date.

 

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or offer employment to any PC/CM Business Employee (including, but not limited to, Excluded PC/CM Business Employees) or any Services Agreement Employees; provided that the foregoing provision shall not prohibit Legg Mason or any of its Affiliates from soliciting or offering employment to persons (i) who respond to a general solicitation or advertisement that is not specifically directed only to PC/CM Business Employees or any Services Agreement Employees (and nothing shall prohibit the making of any such solicitation or advertisement), (ii) who are referred to Legg Mason by search firms, employment agencies or other similar entities, provided that such entities have been advised of the restrictions contained in this Agreement and have not been specifically instructed by Legg Mason to solicit the PC/CM Business Employees or any Services Agreement Employees, (iii) who incur a PC/CM Qualifying Termination, (iv) who are PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employees and (v) who are PC/CM Continuing Business Employees who have been notified in writing by Citigroup or one of its Affiliates that their employment will be terminated prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “PC/CM Transitional Business Employees”). No offer of employment by Legg Mason or one of its Affiliates to any PC/CM Transitional Business Employee shall be effective prior to the employee’s last scheduled day of employment as specified in the notice referred to in the previous sentence.

 

34


Citigroup shall, no later than 90 days following the date hereof, provide to Legg Mason a list of those PC/CM Business Employees whom Citigroup has determined it does not intend to continue to employ following the Closing Date (each, a “PC/CM Non-Continuing Business Employee”).

 

(d) From the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Citigroup shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the U.S. PC/CM Business Employees who are also PC/CM Continuing Business Employees, as a group, compensation and benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of Citigroup; provided, however, that the determination of whether such compensation and benefits are no less favorable shall not take into account (i) any defined benefit pension plan which does not admit new participants and (ii) retiree medical benefits. From the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Citigroup shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Non-U.S. PC/CM Business Employee who is also a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee, base pay and benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to such Non-U.S. PC/CM Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any PC/CM Continuing Business Employee is subject to a transition services agreement that provides for such employee to be covered by benefit plans of Legg Mason or its Affiliates until a date following the Closing Date, the applicable protection period with respect to benefits shall begin on the date on which the PC/CM Continuing Business Employee commences participation in benefit plans of Citigroup or its Affiliates and end on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

(e) Effective as of the Closing Date or, for any PC/CM Continuing Business Employee who is subject to a transition services agreement that provides for such employee to be covered by benefit plans of Legg Mason or its Affiliates until a date following the Closing Date, effective as of the date on which the PC/CM Continuing Business Employee commences participation in the benefit plans of Citigroup or its Affiliates (the applicable date, the “PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date”), Citigroup shall (i) use reasonable efforts to waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to PC/CM Continuing Business Employees under any health and welfare plan of Citigroup or its Affiliates in which such PC/CM Continuing Business Employees may be eligible to participate after the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the corresponding health and welfare plan in which any such PC/CM Continuing Business Employee participated immediately prior to the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date, (ii) use reasonable efforts to cause to be provided to each PC/CM Continuing Business Employee credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the plan year in which the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any health and welfare plans of Citigroup or its Affiliates in which such PC/CM Continuing Business Employees may be eligible to participate after the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date

 

35


and (iii) cause to be provided to each PC/CM Continuing Business Employee credit for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting and amount of benefits), for all service recognized by Legg Mason or its Affiliates under the corresponding PC/CM Benefit Plan, under each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Citigroup or its Affiliates in which such PC/CM Continuing Business Employees are eligible to participate after the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the PC/CM Continuing Business Employees be entitled to service credit to the extent that such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

 

(f) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.15(d), as of the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date, Citigroup shall, in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 125 of the Code, use its reasonable efforts to cause each PC/CM Continuing Business Employee who participates in the Legg Mason FSA to be credited under the Citigroup FSA with amounts that give effect to elections made by the PC/CM Continuing Business Employee under the Legg Mason FSA for the plan year in which the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date occurs.

 

(g) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.15(d), as of the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date, Citigroup shall, in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 125 of the Code, use its reasonable efforts to cause each PC/CM Continuing Business Employee who participates in the Legg Mason DCAP to be credited under the Citigroup DCAP or any Affiliate of Citigroup with amounts that give effect to elections made by the PC/CM Continuing Business Employee under the Legg Mason DCAP for the plan year in which the PC/CM Benefit Transfer Date occurs.

 

(h) Prior to the Closing Date, Legg Mason Sellers shall take all actions necessary to (i) terminate the status of Legg Mason Wood Walker as the “sponsoring employer” under the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan and (ii) cause the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan and related trust to be transferred to, and assumed by (including all Liabilities relating thereto) Legg Mason or a Subsidiary of Legg Mason (other than a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary). Effective as of the Closing Date, no PC/CM Continuing Business Employee shall actively participate in the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, PC/CM Continuing Business Employees who participate in the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan (the “PC/CM 401(k) Participants”) shall immediately be 100% vested in their individual account balances under the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan. Unless otherwise required by Requirements of Law, on or after January 1, 2006, such account balances may be transferred by the PC/CM 401(k) Participants to the Citigroup 401(k) Plan in a rollover contribution. Prior to the Closing Date, Citigroup shall amend the Citigroup 401(k) Plan to the extent necessary to enable the PC/CM 401(k) Participants to make rollover contributions to the Citigroup 401(k) Plan, which, only in the case of a PC/CM 401(k) Participant who rolls over his or her account balance within 90 days following the Closing Date, may include any outstanding loans from the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan.

 

36


(i) Legg Mason shall cause all PC/CM Continuing Employees who participate in the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date to receive a pro rata matching and profit sharing contribution, as applicable, at the rate specified in the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan for the plan year that includes the Closing Date, which matching and profit sharing contribution, as applicable, shall otherwise be made in accordance with the terms of the Legg Mason 401(k) Plan.

 

(j) Citigroup shall be obligated to pay PC/CM Continuing Business Employees entitled to annual bonuses under each of the PC/CM Benefit Plans that provide for payment of annual bonuses (which PC/CM Benefit Plans are listed in Section 6.15(j) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter) the annual bonuses for (i) the bonus year of the PC/CM Subsidiaries that includes the Closing Date (the “Current PC/CM Bonus Year”) and (ii) the bonus year of the PC/CM Subsidiaries completed prior to the Current PC/CM Bonus Year (the “Prior PC/CM Bonus Year”), in each case if not previously paid. The liability for the pro rata portion of the annual bonuses that Citigroup is obligated to pay for the Current PC/CM Bonus Year shall be included on the PC/CM Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the PC/CM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. The liability for the pro rata portion described in the preceding sentence shall be the aggregate amount of the annual bonus pool available for payment to the PC/CM Continuing Employees based upon performance measured during the Current PC/CM Bonus Year through the most practicable date prior to the Closing Date. A liability for annual bonuses Citigroup may be obligated to pay for the Prior PC/CM Bonus Year, if any, shall be included on the PC/CM Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, and the PC/CM Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, and shall be based on performance during the Prior PC/CM Bonus Year. The actual amount of the annual bonuses to be paid (or vested, but payable in the future) by Citigroup to PC/CM Continuing Business Employees for the Current PC/CM Bonus Year and, if applicable, the Prior PC/CM Bonus Year, shall be made in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code and in no event be less than the amount of the liability calculated pursuant to this Section 6.15(j). Legg Mason agrees to consult in a reasonable and timely manner with Citigroup in respect of the amount of any prior bonuses and annual bonuses payable to U.S. PC/CM Business Employees who are reasonably expected to become PC/CM Continuing Business Employees for the bonus year, if any, of the PC/CM Subsidiaries that ends after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date.

 

(k) Except as set forth in the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter, effective immediately prior to the Closing, Legg Mason shall in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code, (i) cause each unvested stock option to purchase shares of Legg Mason common stock that was granted to a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee (other than to a PC/CM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee) pursuant to each of the Legg Mason Benefit Plans and PC/CM Benefit Plans listed in Section 6.15(k)(i) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter that is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing to become fully vested, and once vested, such stock option shall remain exercisable in

 

37


accordance with its terms and (ii) cause each outstanding share of restricted Legg Mason common stock and each phantom stock unit that was granted to a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee (other than to a PC/CM Transferred Non-Continuing Business Employee) pursuant to each of the PC/CM Benefit Plans listed in Section 6.15(k)(ii) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter the restrictions of which have not lapsed or have vested, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Closing to become fully vested on the closing date and paid in accordance with the terms of such PC/CM Benefit Plan following the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall assume each of the PC/CM Benefit Plans listed in Section 6.15(k)(iii) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter and all liabilities thereunder.

 

(l) Prior to the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent necessary, amend each of the PC/CM Subsidiaries Benefit Plans listed in Section 6.15(l) of the Legg Mason Disclosure Letter (the “PC/CM Retention Plans”) to provide for the accelerated vesting on the Closing Date and payout of the Accelerated Portion (as defined below) of the account balances under the PC/CM Retention Plans of the PC/CM Continuing Business Employees, in accordance with the terms of such plans following the Closing Date. It is the intent of the Parties that, on and after the Closing Date, PC/CM Continuing Business Employees shall continue to vest in the portion of their account balances under each of the PC/CM Retention Plans that does not constitute the Accelerated Portion (the “Retention Portion”) in accordance with the terms and provisions of each such plan and that the Retention Portion not be distributed to PC/CM Continuing Business Employees on the Closing Date. The Accelerated Portion shall mean the portion of the accounts for PC/CM Continuing Business Employees that are scheduled to vest or have previously vested under the current terms of the PC/CM Retention Plans on or prior to December 31, 2006. The aggregate value of the Retention Portion shall be based on the sum of (i) the number of shares of Legg Mason Common Stock or Legg Mason Common Stock-based awards comprising the unvested account balances of the PC/CM Continuing Business Employees multiplied by the average of the high and low trading prices of Legg Mason common stock on the Closing Date) and (ii) the forfeited account balances as of the Closing Date of the PC/CM Continuing Business Employees that are not denominated in shares of Legg Mason common stock (the “Legg Mason Continuing Deferred Compensation Account”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Citigroup shall, in a manner, to the extent practicable, that complies with Section 409A of the Code, take such actions as shall be reasonably necessary to establish, or cause to be established, one or more mirror plans to replace the PC/CM Retention Plans (the “Citigroup Replacement Retention Plans”) and shall take such actions as shall be reasonably necessary to cause each such Citigroup Replacement Retention Plan to assume on the Closing Date all of the obligations and liabilities for the Retention Portion with respect to PC/CM Continuing Business Employees under the PC/CM Retention Plans such that such Citigroup Replacement Retention Plans shall contain terms and conditions that are no less favorable to a PC/CM Continuing Business Employee than those that applied under the PC/CM Retention Plans,

 

38


except that (i) service with Citigroup and its Affiliates shall be substituted under the Citigroup Replacement Retention Plans for service with Legg Mason and its Affiliates for periods on and after the Closing Date and (ii) common stock of Citigroup or another notional investment alternative, as determined by Citigroup in its sole discretion, may be substituted on the Closing Date for common stock of Legg Mason under the Citigroup Replacement Retention Plans. Prior to the Closing Date, Legg Mason shall cause (i) each of the PC/CM Retention Plans to be amended, and shall take such other action as shall be reasonably necessary, to provide for the transfer on the Closing Date of the liabilities in respect of the Retention Portion for PC/CM Continuing Employees under the PC/CM Retention Plans to the Citigroup Replacement Retention Plans and, upon such transfer of liabilities, to cause the PC/CM Retention Plans to be transferred to, and assumed by (including all liabilities relating thereto), Legg Mason or a Subsidiary of Legg Mason (other than a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary) effective as of the Closing Date, and (ii) the Legg Mason Wood Walker Incorporated Deferred Compensation Trust (the “Legg Mason Wood Walker Trust”) established in connection with certain of the PC/CM Retention Plans to be transferred to Legg Mason or a Subsidiary of Legg Mason (other than a PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary). No assets of the Legg Mason Wood Walker Trust shall be transferred to Citigroup or any Subsidiary of Citigroup in connection with the assumption by the Citigroup Replacement Retention Plans of the obligations and liabilities with respect to PC/CM Continuing Business Employees under the PC/CM Retention Plans. It is the intent of the parties that no assets of Legg Mason Wood Walker Trust be applied to pay benefits to PC/CM Continuing Business Employees under the Citigroup Replacement Retention Plans or the PC/CM Retention Plans on and after the Closing Date and, to the extent any such assets are transferred or applied to the payment of such benefit on or after the Closing Date, Citigroup shall promptly make a cash payment to Legg Mason equal to the value of the assets so applied. Subject to Section 1.2(c), on the Closing Date prior to the Closing, Legg Mason shall contribute to the capital of the PC/CM Transferred Subsidiary an amount equal to the Legg Mason Continuing Deferred Compensation Amount.

 

(m) No later than sixty days after the date hereof, to the extent permitted by Requirement of Law, Legg Mason shall deliver to Citigroup the name, social security (or similar foreign term), home address, home telephone number, current annual salary rates, bonuses, deferred or contingent compensation, accrued vacation, and other like benefits paid or payable (in cash or otherwise), date of employment and job title of each PC/CM Continuing Business Employee. Legg Mason shall use reasonable efforts to update the information provided pursuant the foregoing sentence as reasonably requested by Citigroup.

(b) Citigroup shall notify Legg Mason as soon as practicable following such time as the sum of (i) the number of shares of Legg Mason Common Stock owned by Citigroup and its Affiliates and (ii) the number of shares of Legg Mason Common Stock into which the Legg Mason Preferred Stock owned by Citigroup and its Affiliate can be converted represents less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Legg Mason Common Stock (based on the total amount of issued and outstanding shares of Legg Mason Common Stock reported in the most recently available Form 10-Q filed by Legg Mason with the SEC).

Upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any action, suit, proceedings, claim, demand or assessment made or brought by an unaffiliated third party or Governmental Authority (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to a matter for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified under this Article X which has or is reasonably expected to give rise to a claim for Losses, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as practicable, in the case of a Legg Mason Indemnified Party, notify Citigroup and in the case of a Citigroup Indemnified Party, notify Legg Mason (Citigroup or Legg Mason, as the case may be, the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing, indicating the nature of such Third Party Claim and the basis therefor; provided, however, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Such written notice requirement shall be satisfied by promptly transmitting the statement of claim, complaint, regulatory correspondence or other document triggering the indemnification to the Indemnifying Party along with a cover letter stating briefly why the Indemnified Party believes the claim is subject to indemnification. Such notice shall be sent by facsimile or overnight delivery service in accordance with Section 11.3. The

 

43


Indemnifying Party shall have 10 Business Days after receipt of notice to elect, at its option, to assume and control the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such Third Party Claim and shall be entitled to assert any and all defenses available to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under Requirements of Law; provided, however, that the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim shall not apply in the case of a Third Party Claim that seeks indemnification solely as a result of a breach of representations covered under Section 10.2(a) or 10.3(a), as applicable, if and only if the parties mutually agree that the Losses reasonably expected to be indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party as a result of such Third Party Claim are not expected, when taken together with prior Losses and pending and reasonably foreseeable future Losses, to exceed, in the case of breaches of representations covered under Section 10.2(a), the Citigroup Threshold (or remaining Citigroup Threshold) and, in the case of breaches of representations covered under Section 10.3(a), the Legg Mason Threshold (or remaining Legg Mason Threshold); provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of any such Third Party Claim previously being controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso at such time as the Indemnifying Party determines that the applicable Third Party Claim, either alone or when taken together with prior Losses and pending and reasonably foreseeable future Losses, is expected to exceed, in the case of breaches of representations covered under Section 10.2(a), the Citigroup Threshold (or remaining Citigroup Threshold) and, in the case of breaches of representations covered under Section 10.3(a), the Legg Mason Threshold (or remaining Legg Mason Threshold). If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the relief consists solely of money Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party and includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Legg Mason Indemnified Parties or the Citigroup Indemnified Parties, as applicable, from all liability with respect thereto. Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if the (i) Indemnified Party shall have determined in good faith that an actual or potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party inappropriate or (ii) Indemnifying Party shall have authorized the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. In any event, the

 

44


Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party and their counsel shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article X, keep such Persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third Party Claims and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. In any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party receiving such notice of a Third Party Claim does not elect to defend such Third Party Claim or does not defend such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
