-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) In the event that the Parties determine following the Distribution Effective
Time that any individual employed outside the United States (other than an
individual who the Parties intend to be a Recro Employee) has inadvertently
become employed by a member of the Recro Group (due to the operation of transfer
of undertakings or similar law or regulation), the Parties shall cooperate and
take such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to cause the
employment of such individuals to be promptly transferred to a member of the
Baudax Group.

(c) The Parties shall cooperate and take such actions as may be reasonably
necessary in order to minimize potential statutory, contractual, plan-based or
other severance or similar obligations to the Parties or their Affiliates in
connection with any transfers of employment described in this Section 2.1.

(d) Baudax will determine which, if any, temporary workers, individual
consultants or independent contractors who are performing service primarily
related to the Acute Care Business, it wishes to transfer to Baudax and, the
Parties shall use reasonable efforts to transfer the individual or to assign the
applicable Contract to a member of the Baudax Group and Baudax shall, or shall
cause a member of the Baudax Group to, assume and perform such Contract. In the
event that a transfer fee is required to be paid in order to effect such
transfer, Baudax shall be responsible for and pay the full amount of such fee.

Section 2.2. Assumption and Retention of Liabilities. Recro and Baudax intend
that employment-related Liabilities associated with Recro Participants are to be
retained or assumed by Recro or a Recro Group member, and employment-related
Liabilities associated with Baudax Participants are to be assumed by Baudax or a
Baudax Group member, in each case, except as specifically set forth herein.
Accordingly, as of the Distribution Effective Time:

(a) Recro or the applicable member of the Recro Group hereby retains or assumes
and agrees to pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement, (i) all Liabilities arising under or related to Recro Plans,
(ii) all employment or service-related Liabilities with respect to (A) all Recro
Participants and (B) any individual who is, or was, an independent contractor,
temporary employee, temporary service worker, consultant, freelancer, agency
employee, leased employee, on-call worker, incidental worker, or non-payroll
worker or in any other employment or similar relationship primarily connected to
Recro or a Recro Group member and (iii) any Liabilities expressly transferred or
allocated to Recro or a Recro Group member under this Agreement (it being
understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement do not create or
constitute a source of any such Liability); and

(b) Baudax hereby retains or assumes and agrees to pay, perform, fulfill, and
discharge, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) all Liabilities
arising under or related to Baudax Plans, (ii) all employment or service-related

in, and benefit accrual under, Recro Plans and (ii) all members of the Baudax
Group shall cease to be participating employers under the Recro Plans and,
(b) to the extent applicable, (i) all Recro Participants shall cease any
participation in, and benefit accrual under, Baudax Plans and (ii) all members
of the Recro Group shall cease to be participating employers under the Baudax

member in the applicable jurisdiction and all assets of any Recro Plan to be
transferred to or retained by the applicable Recro Group member in the
applicable jurisdiction, in each case, effective as of the Distribution
Effective Time.

Section 2.4. No Duplication of Benefits; Service and Other Credit. Recro and
Baudax shall adopt, or cause to be adopted, all reasonable and necessary
amendments and procedures to prevent Baudax Participants from receiving
duplicative benefits from the Recro Plans and the Baudax Plans. With respect to
Baudax Employees, each Baudax Plan shall provide that for purposes of
determining eligibility to participate, vesting, and entitlement to benefits,
service prior to the Distribution Effective Time with Recro or a Recro Group
member shall be treated as service with Baudax or the applicable Baudax Group
member. Such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting
periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any
preexisting condition limitations under any Baudax Plan. Each Baudax Plan shall,
to the extent practicable, waive pre-existing condition limitations with respect
to Baudax Employees. Baudax shall honor any deductible, co-payment and
out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Baudax Employees and their eligible
dependents under the Recro Plans in which they participated immediately prior to
the Benefits Commencement Date during the then-elapsed portion of the calendar
year prior to the Benefits Commencement Date in satisfying any deductibles,
co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under the Baudax Plans in which they are
eligible to participate after the Benefits Commencement Date in the same plan
year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were
incurred.

Section 2.5. Reimbursements. From time to time after the Distribution Effective
Time, the Parties shall promptly reimburse one another, upon reasonable request
of the Party requesting reimbursement and the presentation by such Party of such
substantiating documentation as the other Party shall reasonably request, for

ARTICLE III

COMPENSATION PLANS

Section 3.1. 401(k) Plan.

(a) Effective as of the Distribution Effective Time, each Baudax Participant who
participates in the Recro Defined Contribution Plan as of immediately prior to
the 401(k) Benefits Commencement Date will cease active participation in the
Recro Defined Contribution Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, all employee
pre-tax deferrals and employer contributions with respect to the Baudax
Participants will be made to the Baudax 401(k) Plan on and following the
effective date of the Baudax 401(k) Plan.

(b) In accordance with applicable Law, Recro and Baudax shall cause, in the
manner described herein, the accounts under the Recro Defined Contribution Plan
of each Baudax Employee to be transferred to the Baudax 401(k) Plan, as soon as
practicable after the effective date of the Baudax 401(k) Plan. On, or as soon
as practicable after, the effective date of the Baudax 401(k) Plan: (i) Recro
shall cause the accounts (including any outstanding loan balances and employer
contributions described in Section 3.1(c)) of each Baudax Employee in the Recro
Defined Contribution Plan to be transferred from the trust established under the
Recro Defined Contribution Plan to the trust established under the Baudax 401(k)
Plan; and (ii) Baudax shall cause such transferred accounts to be accepted by
the Baudax 401(k) Plan and its related trust.

(c) If any Baudax Employees are eligible to receive true-up matching
contributions under the Recro Defined Contribution Plan with respect to the 2019
plan year, and such contributions have not yet been deposited into the Baudax
Employees’ accounts under the Recro Defined Contribution Plan as of the date
such accounts are transferred from the trust established under the Recro Defined
Contribution Plan to the trust established under the Baudax 401(k) Plan as set
forth in Section 3.1(b), then Recro shall contribute the amount of such true-up
matching contributions (and other employer contributions, if any) into the
applicable Baudax Employees’ accounts under the Recro Defined Contribution Plan
prior to such transfer based on all service performed and compensation accrued
through the Distribution Effective Time.

ARTICLE IV

HEALTH AND WELFARE PLANS; PAYROLL; COBRA AND VACATION

Section 4.1. Cessation of Participation in Recro H&W Plans.

(a) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.3, effective as of the Benefits
Commencement Date, Baudax Participants shall cease to participate in the Recro
H&W Plans; provided that any participation in, and benefit accrual under, Recro
H&W Plans by Baudax Participants during the period, if any, between the
Distribution Effective Time and the Benefits Commencement Date (the “Benefits
Transition Period”) shall be in accordance with, and pursuant to, the terms and
conditions of the Transition Services Agreement.

 

-6-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Effective as of the Benefits Commencement Date, Baudax shall cause Baudax
Participants who participate in a Recro H&W Plan immediately prior to the
Benefits Commencement Date to be automatically enrolled or offered participation
in a corresponding Baudax H&W Plan.

(c) To the extent applicable, Baudax shall cause Baudax H&W Plans to recognize
and maintain all coverage and contribution elections made by Baudax Participants
under the corresponding Recro H&W Plans as of the Benefits Commencement Date and
apply such elections under the applicable Baudax H&W Plan for the remainder of
the period or periods for which such elections are by their terms applicable.

(d) Neither the transfer or other movement of employment or service from any
member of the Recro Group to any member of the Baudax Group at any time before
the Benefits Commencement Date nor the Distribution Effective Time shall
constitute or be treated as a “status change” under the Recro H&W Plans or the
Baudax H&W Plans.

(e) Subject to the terms of the applicable Baudax H&W Plan and applicable Law,
Baudax shall use its reasonable best efforts to waive all limitations as to
preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to
participation and coverage requirements applicable to Baudax Participants under
any Baudax H&W Plan in which such Baudax Participants may be eligible to
participate on or after the applicable Benefits Commencement Date.

Section 4.2. Allocation of Health and Welfare Plan Liabilities. Effective as of
the Distribution Effective Time, all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or
resulting from health and welfare coverage or claims incurred prior to, on or
after the Distribution Effective Time by each Baudax Participant under the Recro
H&W Plans shall cease to be Liabilities of the Recro Group and shall be assumed
by the Baudax Group and deemed to be Baudax Liabilities. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any and all costs, expenses or Liabilities relating
to participation by Baudax Participants in the Recro H&W Plans during the
Benefits Transition Period shall be reimbursed by Baudax to the Recro Group in
accordance with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, (a) all Liabilities arising under (i) any Recro H&W Plan
with respect to Baudax Participants or (ii) any Baudax H&W Plan and (b) all
Liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from the cessation of a
Baudax Participant’s participation in any Recro H&W Plan and transfer to a
Baudax H&W Plan as set forth herein (including any Actions or claims by any
Baudax Participants related thereto) shall, in each case, be Baudax Liabilities.

Section 4.3. Flexible Spending Plan Treatment. Effective as of the Benefits
Commencement Date, Baudax shall establish or designate flexible spending
accounts for health and dependent care expenses (the “Baudax FSAs”). To the
extent applicable, the Parties shall take all actions reasonably necessary or
appropriate so that the account balances (positive or negative) under the Recro
FSAs of each Baudax Participant who has elected to participate therein in the
year in which the Benefits Commencement Date occurs shall be transferred,
effective as of the Benefits Commencement Date, from the Recro FSAs to the
corresponding Baudax FSAs. The Baudax FSAs shall assume responsibility as of the
Benefits Commencement Date for all outstanding dependent care and health care
claims under the Recro FSAs of each Baudax Participant for the year in which the
Benefits Commencement Date occurs and shall

 

-7-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

assume the rights of and agree to perform the obligations of the analogous Recro
FSA from and after the Benefits Commencement Date. The Parties shall cooperate
in good faith to provide that the contribution elections of each such Baudax
Participant as in effect immediately before the Benefits Commencement Date
remain in effect under the Baudax FSAs from and after the Benefits Commencement
Date.

Section 4.4. Workers’ Compensation Liabilities. All workers’ compensation
Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any claim by Baudax
Employees or Former Baudax Employees that result from an accident that occurs,
or from an occupational disease which is incurred or becomes manifest, as the
case may be, on or before the Distribution Effective Time and while such
individual was employed by Recro or a Recro Group member shall be assumed by
Baudax as of the Distribution Effective Time; provided, however, that to the
extent that either (1) such a Liability is covered under a workers compensation
insurance policy of Recro or a Recro Group member or (2) Recro has received an
invoice for a covered expense prior to the Distribution Effective Time, Baudax
shall not assume such Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Baudax shall
assume worker’s compensation Liabilities to the extent they are imposed on
Baudax under applicable Law or where the injury or illness related to the
Liability is aggravated or subject to further injury after the Distribution
Effective Time. A Liability which must be paid due to the existence of a
deductible shall not be deemed to be covered by a workers compensation insurance
policy for purposes of this Section 4.4. Subject to the foregoing, Baudax and
each Baudax Group member shall also be solely responsible for all workers’
compensation Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from any
claim incurred for a compensable injury sustained by a Baudax Employee that
results from an accident or from an occupational disease which is incurred or
becomes manifest, as the case may be, after the Distribution Effective Time.
Recro, each Recro Group member, Baudax and each Baudax Group member shall
cooperate with respect to processing of claims, any notification to appropriate
governmental agencies of the disposition and the issuance of new, or the
transfer of existing, workers’ compensation insurance policies and claims
handling contracts.

Section 4.5. Payroll Taxes and Reporting. Recro and Baudax (i) shall, to the
extent practicable, treat Baudax (or a Baudax Group member designated by Baudax)
as a “successor employer” and Recro (or the appropriate Recro Group member) as a
“predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(l) and 3306(b)(l) of the
Code, with respect to Baudax Employees for purposes of taxes imposed under the
United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal
Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”), and (ii) hereby agree to use commercially
reasonable efforts to implement the alternate procedure described in Section 5
of Revenue Procedure 2004-53. Without limiting in any manner the obligations and
Liabilities of the Parties under the Tax Matters Agreement, including all
withholding obligations otherwise set forth therein, Recro, each Recro Group
member, Baudax and each Baudax Group member shall each bear its responsibility
for payroll tax obligations and for the proper reporting to the appropriate
governmental authorities of compensation earned by their respective employees
after the Distribution Effective Time.

 

-8-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 4.6. COBRA and HIPAA Compliance. The Recro Group shall administer the
Recro Group’s compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements
of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA and the
corresponding provisions of the Recro H&W Plans with respect to Baudax
Participants who incur a COBRA “qualifying event” occurring on or before the
applicable Benefits Commencement Date entitling them to benefits under a Recro
H&W Plan; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Liabilities related
thereto shall constitute Baudax Liabilities. Baudax shall be solely responsible
for all Liabilities incurred pursuant to COBRA and for administering, at
Baudax’s expense, compliance with the health care continuation coverage
requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of
HIPAA, and the corresponding provisions of the Baudax H&W Plans with respect to
Baudax Participants who incur a COBRA “qualifying event” that occurs at any time
after the applicable Benefits Commencement Date entitling them to benefits under
a Baudax Plan. The Parties agree that neither the Separation, the Distribution
nor any assignment or transfer of the employment or services of any employee or
individual independent contractor as contemplated under this Agreement shall
constitute a COBRA “qualifying event” for any purpose of COBRA.

Section 4.7. Vacation and Paid Time Off. As of the Distribution Effective Time,
the applicable Baudax Group member shall credit each Baudax Employee with the
vacation and earned sick time that such individual has accrued immediately prior
to the Distribution Effective Time in accordance with the vacation and personnel
policies applicable to such employee immediately prior to the Distribution
Effective Time.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1. Annual Cash-Based Incentive Plans. As of the Distribution Effective
Time, Baudax shall assume the obligation, if any, to pay each Baudax Employee
who is participating in a Recro annual cash incentive bonus program, including a
sales incentive compensation plan, of Recro or a Recro Group member such Baudax
Employee’s incentive or sales bonus under such plan, based upon the amount

payments to be made to the applicable Baudax Employees at the time any
corresponding payments would be made under the corresponding Recro incentive
bonus program.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Recro Awards Held by Baudax Employees – Service. With respect to each Recro
RSU, Recro PRSU and Recro Option held by a Baudax Employee, continued employment
or service with a Baudax Group member shall be treated as continued employment
and service for all purposes of such Recro RSU and Recro Option during the TSA
Term; provided, that any outstanding Time-Based Awards that are still subject to
time-based vesting conditions shall become fully vested as of the date of a
Change of Control occurring during the TSA Term; provided further that the
Baudax Employee remains an employee or service provider of a Baudax Group member
through the consummation of such Change of Control and executes a release and
waiver of claims against the Recro Group and the Baudax Group in a form
reasonably prescribed by the Recro Group.

solely responsible for all income, payroll and other tax remittance related to
the compensation of Baudax Participants in respect of Recro RSUs, Recro PRSUs,

in Section 4.5. The Parties will cooperate and communicate with each other and
with third-party providers to effectuate the withholding and remittance of any
such taxes, as well as any required tax reporting, in a timely, efficient and
appropriate manner. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, Recro
and Baudax shall share, and shall cause each member of its respective Group to
share, with each other and their respective agents and vendors all information
reasonably necessary for the efficient and accurate administration of their

required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary
duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no Party

any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination (as supported by
advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that to do so would violate

provisions of this Agreement to the full extent practicable. If any provision of
this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to
consent, Recro and Baudax shall negotiate in good faith to implement the
provision in a mutually satisfactory manner. The phrase “commercially reasonable
efforts” as used herein shall not be construed to require the incurrence of any
non-routine or unreasonable expense or liability or the waiver of any right.

Section 6.6. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements. Effective as of
the Distribution Effective Time, Recro shall, or shall cause the appropriate
member of the Recro Group to, waive such rights under any proprietary
information, confidentiality, inventions, restrictive covenant or similar

determines in its discretion to be necessary or appropriate to permit such
Baudax Employee to perform his or her services to Baudax or a Baudax Group
member from and after the Distribution Effective Time.
