Section 7.2 LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans. LiveWire shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans to (a) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and service conditions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to individuals who are LiveWire Participants immediately following the applicable LiveWire Benefits Effective Date, other than limitations that were in effect with respect to such LiveWire Participants as of immediately prior to the applicable LiveWire Benefits Effective Date under the corresponding HD Health and Welfare Plan(s), and (b) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable, following the applicable LiveWire Benefits Effective Date, to an individual who is a LiveWire Participant immediately following the applicable LiveWire Benefits Effective Date to the extent such LiveWire Participant had satisfied any similar limitation under the corresponding HD Health and Welfare Plan(s). Additionally, the LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans shall provide that the LiveWire Participants are credited with or otherwise have taken into account, to the extent applicable, any expenses incurred towards deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket limits credited to such individual, in each case, under the terms of the corresponding HD Health and Welfare Plans for the plan year in which the applicable LiveWire Benefits Effective Date occurs as if such amounts had been paid by such individual under the LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans.

Section 7.3 Cafeteria Plan. As soon as practicable following the Separation Time and if and to the extent not effected prior to the Separation Time, HD (acting directly or through any other member of the HD Group) shall, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 2002-32, cause the portion of the HD Cafeteria Plan applicable to the LiveWire Participants to be segregated into a separate component and the account balances in such component to be transferred to the LiveWire Cafeteria Plan, which will include any health flexible spending account and dependent care account plan (excluding, for clarity, any health reimbursement arrangements). The LiveWire Cafeteria Plan shall reimburse HD or the HD Cafeteria Plan to the extent amounts were paid by the HD Cafeteria Plan and not collected from the LiveWire Participant and such amounts are subsequently collected by the LiveWire Cafeteria Plan with respect to such LiveWire Participant.

Effective as of the applicable LiveWire Benefits Effective Date, each LiveWire Participant who, as of immediately prior to such LiveWire Benefits Effective Date, participated in a health reimbursement arrangement under an HD Health and Welfare Plan (an “HD HRA”) will cease to be an active participant in the HRA (but, for clarity, will remain entitled to his or her benefits under the HD HRA in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof).

Effective as of the Separation Time, each LiveWire Participant who, as of immediately prior to the Separation Time, participated in the HD Retiree Health Care Account, shall remain eligible for his or her benefits under the HD Retiree Health Care Account in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; provided, however, that HD shall, and shall cause the HD Retiree Health Care Account to, recognize such LiveWire Participant’s age and service with any member of the LiveWire Group after the Separation Time for the purpose of determining eligibility for benefits under the HD Retiree Health Care Account. Following the Separation Time, HD (acting directly or through any member of the HD Group) shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities with respect to the HD Retiree Health Care Account.

(a) HD (acting directly or through any other member of the HD Group) and the HD Health and Welfare Plans shall be solely responsible for compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements of COBRA with respect to each individual who is a HD Participant (or a dependent or beneficiary thereof) at the time such individual experiences a COBRA qualifying event. LiveWire (acting directly or through any other member of the LiveWire Group) and the LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans shall be solely responsible for compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements of COBRA with respect to each individual who is a LiveWire Participant (or a dependent or beneficiary thereof) at the time such individual experiences a COBRA qualifying event. Neither the consummation of the Separation, any transfer of employment contemplated hereby, or any related transactions or events contemplated by the Separation Agreement, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall constitute a COBRA qualifying event for purposes of COBRA with respect to any LiveWire Participant or any HD Participant (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof).

(b) HD (acting directly or through any other member of the HD Group) shall be responsible for compliance with any certificate of creditable coverage of other applicable requirements of HIPAA or Medicare applicable to the HD Health and Welfare Plans.

With respect to employee welfare and fringe benefits that are provided through the purchase of insurance, (i) LiveWire shall cause the LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans to, through such insurance policies, pay and discharge all eligible claims of LiveWire Participants that are incurred on or after the effective date of coverage of such LiveWire Participants in the LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans, and (ii) HD shall cause the HD Health and Welfare Plans to, through such insurance policies pay and discharge all eligible claims of HD Participants that are incurred prior to, on or after the Separation Time (provided that such HD Participants are enrolled in the HD Health and Welfare Plans). For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Article VII, neither LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans nor HD Health and Welfare Plans shall be responsible for any benefit claims incurred following a LiveWire Participant’s termination of participation in an HD Health and Welfare Plan if the LiveWire Participant does not validly enroll in an applicable LiveWire Health and Welfare Plan.

(b) Self-Insured Benefits. With respect to employee health or medical benefits that are provided through a self-insured plan or program HD shall cause the HD Health and Welfare Plans to, through such self-insured plan or program, continue to pay and discharge all eligible claims of (i) HD Participants incurred prior to, on or after the Separation Time and (ii) LiveWire Participants incurred before the Separation Time, in each case, regardless of when such claims are reported.

(c) Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Benefits.

(i) Long-Term Disability Benefits. Any HD Employee or LiveWire Employee who becomes entitled to receive, or experiences a qualifying disability and is in an eligibility waiting or exclusion period to receive, long-term disability under any HD Health and Welfare Plan prior to the effective date of coverage for a LiveWire Employee under the LiveWire Health and Welfare Plan providing long-term disability benefits shall continue to receive or be eligible to receive long-term disability benefits under such HD Health and Welfare Plan following such date.

 

14


(ii) Short-Term Disability Benefits. Any LiveWire Employee who becomes entitled to receive short-term disability benefits under any HD Health and Welfare Plan prior to the effective date of coverage for a LiveWire Employee under the LiveWire Health and Welfare Plan providing short-term disability benefits shall be transferred to, and receive any short-term disability benefits to which such LiveWire Employee is entitled under, the applicable LiveWire Health and Welfare Plans as of date in accordance with the terms of such plan. Any HD Employee who becomes entitled to receive short-term disability benefits under any HD Benefit Plan prior to, on or after the Separation Time shall continue to receive any short-term disability benefits to which such HD Employee is entitled under the HD Health and Welfare Plans as of the Separation Time in accordance with the terms of such plan.

(d) Incurred Claim Definition. For purposes of this Article VII, a claim or Liability shall generally be deemed to be incurred (i) with respect to medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug benefits, on the date that the health services giving rise to such claim or Liability are rendered or performed and not when such claim is made; provided, however that with respect to a period of continuous hospitalization, a claim is incurred upon the first date of such hospitalization and not on the date that such services are performed and (ii) with respect to life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance, upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim or Liability.

(e) Accrued Paid-Time-Off. Prior to the Separation Time, to the extent required by applicable Law, LiveWire shall solicit in writing the consent of each LiveWire Employee to rollover to LiveWire or another member of the LiveWire Group, such LiveWire Employee’s Accrued PTO as of the Separation Time (the “Rollover Consents”). With respect to each LiveWire Employee who (i) is not required to consent to such a rollover under applicable Law or (ii) timely provides such Rollover Consent to LiveWire and consents to such a rollover, LiveWire shall (directly or through another member of the LiveWire Group) recognize and honor the Accrued PTO credited to each LiveWire Employee by such individual’s employer immediately prior to the Separation Time. To the extent permitted and/or required under applicable Law, the Accrued PTO of any LiveWire Employee who (A) elects in his or her Rollover Consent to receive a payment of his or her Accrued PTO or (B) does not timely provide a Rollover Consent to LiveWire, shall be paid by HD to such individual(s) in a cash lump sum upon the transfer of such individual’s employment between the HD Group and the LiveWire Group prior to the Separation, and, for the avoidance of doubt, HD shall be solely responsible and liable for such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) all Accrued PTO shall be used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the post-Separation employer’s applicable policies and programs, to the extent permissible by Law, and (y) any paid-time-off accruals in respect of post-Separation services (if any) shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the post-Separation employer’s applicable policies and programs (except to the extent otherwise provided in an applicable LiveWire Individual Agreement or HD Individual Agreement).

Section 7.8 Workers’ Compensation Liabilities. All workers’ compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by a HD Employee that results from an accident occurring, or from an occupational disease which becomes manifest (collectively, “Workers’ Comp Liabilities”) before, as of or after the Separation Time, shall be retained by and be obligations of HD or its insurers. All Workers’ Comp Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by a LiveWire Employee that arises or manifests prior to the date on which such LiveWire Employee is covered by an applicable workers’ compensation insurance program maintained by a member of the LiveWire Group shall be obligations of HD and its insurers. All Workers’ Comp Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by a LiveWire Employee that arises or manifests on or after the date on which such LiveWire Employee is covered under a workers’ compensation insurance program maintained by a member of the LiveWire Group

 

15


shall be obligations of LiveWire and its insurers. For purposes of this Agreement, a compensable injury giving rise to a Workers’ Comp Liability shall be deemed to be sustained upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits or at the time that an occupational disease becomes manifest, as the case may be. Each member of the HD Group and each member of the LiveWire Group shall cooperate with respect to any notification to appropriate Governmental Entities of the Separation Time and the issuance of new, or the transfer of existing, workers’ compensation insurance policies and claims handling contracts.

ARTICLE VIII

At or prior to the Separation and from time to time following the Separation Time, LiveWire shall, or shall cause another member of the LiveWire Group to, adopt, for the benefit of eligible LiveWire Employees, one or more cash incentive programs (each, a “LiveWire Cash Incentive Plan”).

(d) HD Cash Incentive Liabilities. Subject to and except as expressly provided under Section 8.1(a) above, following the Separation Time, the HD Group shall be solely responsible for, and the LiveWire Group shall not have any obligation or Liability with respect to, any and all payments, obligations and other Liabilities under any HD Cash Incentive Plan.

Such deduction types include: pre-tax contributions to any Benefit Plan, including any voluntary benefit plan; scheduled loan repayments to any Benefit Plan; and direct deposit of payroll, employee relocation loans, and other types of authorized company receivables usually collectible through payroll deductions. Each Party shall, as soon as practicable after the Separation Time, provide the other Party with such information in its possession as may be reasonably requested by the other Party and as necessary for that Party to honor the payroll deduction authorizations contemplated by this Section 9.3.

(b) Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (i) the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 11.18 Severability.
