The Insured Party will have sole authority for administering, making decisions with respect to, and paying covered workers’ compensation claims with respect to Workers’ Compensation Events occurring before the Employment Transfer Date, subject to the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The consent described in the immediately preceding sentence will be evidenced in writing with respect to any decision relating to (a) the settlement of a workers’ compensation claim, (b) the designation of an “allowed condition,” or (c) the administration of ongoing litigation.  The other Party will, and will cause any other Affiliate (and each of their respective successors and assigns) to, jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Insured Party and each of the Insured Party’s Affiliates and each of their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses incurred arising out of or in connection with a workers’ compensation claim in excess of those covered by the insurance policy and relating to Workers’ Compensation Events occurring prior to the Employment Transfer Date by its respective employees or former employees (i.e., if TEN is the Insured Party, TFMC will indemnify TEN and its Affiliates for TFMC Employees and Former TFMC Employees, and if TFMC is the Insured Party, TEN will indemnify TFMC and its Affiliates for TEN Employees and Former TEN Employees).  If any workers’ compensation claim is not insured, then such claim will be treated as an employment related litigation claim under Section 1.4.

The transfer of any assets will be in cash and, once transferred, such accounts, Liabilities and related assets will vest in accordance with the terms of the TFMC Excess Benefit Plan as non-elective contributions thereunder.

(b)          From and after the DC Plan Split Date, except as specifically provided in paragraph (a) above, (i) TEN and the TEN Group will be solely and exclusively responsible for all obligations and liabilities with respect to, or related to, benefits under the TEN Executive Retirement Plan, whether accrued before, on or after the DC Plan Split Date and (ii) TFMC and the TFMC Group will be solely and exclusively responsible for all obligations and liabilities with respect to, or related to, benefits under the TFMC Excess Benefit Plan, whether accrued before, on or after the DC Plan Split Date.

5.4          Compliance with Section 409A.  TFMC and TEN will cooperate in good faith so that the Distribution will not result in adverse Tax consequences under Code Section 409A to any TFMC Employee, TEN Employee, Former TFMC Employee or Former TEN Employee, or their respective Plan Payees, in respect of his or her benefits under any TFMC Benefit Plan or TEN Benefit Plan.

6.1          Flexible Spending Account Treatment

(a)          Notwithstanding anything in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Employee Matters Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the portion of a TFMC Split Welfare Plan that consists of medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts under Sections 125 and 129 of the Code (the “TFMC Flexible Account Plan”), the corresponding TEN Welfare Plan (the “TEN Flexible Account Plan”) will be responsible for reimbursement of all previously reimbursable medical expense and dependent care claims incurred by TEN Employees (and Former TEN Employees, if applicable) following the U.S. Plan Split Date for the year in which the Distribution Date or the applicable Delayed Transfer Date occurs. The parties will cooperate in good faith to cause the TEN Flexible Account Plan to give effect to the elections of TEN Employees (and Former TEN Employees, if applicable) that were in effect under the corresponding TFMC Flexible Account Plan as of the US Plan Split Date or, if later, the Delayed Transfer Date, subject to the terms of the TEN Flexible Account Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Delayed Transfer Employee returning from disability leave has no election in place under the TFMC Flexible Account Plan, such employee may make a new election under the TEN Flexible Account Plan as of the Delayed Transfer Date, subject to the terms of the TEN Flexible Account Plan.

(b)          The parties shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate so that the account balances (positive or negative) under the TFMC Flexible Account Plan of each TEN Employee (or Former TEN Employee, if applicable) who has elected to participate therein in the year in which the Distribution Date or the applicable Delayed Transfer Date occurs shall be transferred, effective as of the US Plan Split date or, if later, the Delayed Transfer Date, as applicable, from the TFMC Flexible Account Plan to the corresponding TEN Flexible Account Plan.  As soon as practicable after the end of the TFMC Flexible Account Plan’s plan year TFMC shall pay TEN the net aggregate amount of such transferred  account balances, if such amount is positive, and TEN shall pay TFMC the net aggregate amount of such transferred account balances, if such amount is negative.

6.6          COBRA.  Effective as of the US Plan Split Date or, if later, the Delayed Transfer Date, a TEN Entity will assume or will cause the TEN Spinoff Welfare Plans to assume sole responsibility for compliance with the continuation coverage requirements under Code Section 4980B and ERISA Sections 601-608 (“COBRA”) after the US Plan Split Date or, if later, the Delayed Transfer Date for all TEN Employees and their “qualified beneficiaries” for whom a “qualifying event” occurs on or after the Distribution Date or the Delayed Transfer Date; provided, however, that a TFMC Entity will be responsible for furnishing any election notice required under COBRA to any TEN Transferee. TFMC, the TFMC Group, or a Split Welfare Plan will remain solely responsible for compliance with COBRA before, on and after the US Plan Split Date or, if later, the Delayed Transfer Date for TFMC Employees, Former TFMC Employees, Former TEN Employees and their “qualified beneficiaries”; provided, however, that a TEN Entity will be responsible for furnishing any election notice required under COBRA to any TFMC Transferee. The terms “qualified beneficiaries” and “qualifying event” will have the meanings given to them under Code Section 4980B and ERISA Sections 601-608. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 5.1(a) of the Employee Matters Agreement will govern whether the TEN Spinoff Welfare Plans or Split Welfare Plans are responsible for claims incurred by TEN Employees or their qualified beneficiaries while receiving continuation coverage under COBRA. The parties agree that neither the Separation, the Distribution nor any assignment or transfer of the employment or services of any Employee as contemplated under this Employee Matters Agreement shall constitute a “qualifying event” for any purpose of COBRA.
