(b)                                 From and after the Effective Time, SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group hereby assumes or retains, and shall be responsible for paying, performing, fulfilling and discharging in accordance with their respective terms, (i) all Liabilities or obligations expressly assigned to or assumed by a member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement; and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or in the Distribution Agreement, all Liabilities with respect to the employment, service, termination of employment or termination of service of all SpinCo Employees and independent contractors allocated to SpinCo pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and their respective dependents and beneficiaries (and any alternate payees in respect thereof), whenever incurred.  All Liabilities assumed or retained by a member of the SpinCo Group under this Section 2.02(b) shall be “SpinCo Liabilities” for purposes of the Distribution Agreement.

 

Section 2.03                             No Termination of Employment Intended as a Result of the Allocation of Employees.  It is intended that the RemainCo Employees and SpinCo Employees shall not experience a termination of employment or severance solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement or the allocation or transfer of Employees described in Section 2.01 of this Agreement.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Employees shall not be entitled to any termination or severance payments or benefits as a result of such transactions or allocation or transfer, as applicable.  RemainCo shall, and shall cause other members of the RemainCo Group (as applicable), and SpinCo shall, and shall cause other members of the SpinCo Group (as applicable), to cause any applicable Plan to be interpreted and administered consistent with such intent, to the greatest extent possible without breaching the applicable Plan.

 

Section 2.04                             At-Will Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement shall (a) create any obligation on the part of any member of the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group to continue the employment of any Employee or permit the return from a leave of absence of any Employee following the date of this Agreement or the Effective Time (except as required by applicable Law) or (b) change the employment status of any Employee from “at-will,” to the extent such Employee was an “at-will” employee under applicable Law.

Section 2.05                             Service Crediting.

 

(a)                                 From and after the Effective Time, SpinCo shall, and shall cause other members of the SpinCo Group (as applicable) to, recognize each SpinCo Employee’s service prior to the Effective Time (including service with any member of the RemainCo Group prior to the Effective Time) for all purposes, including purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of paid time off or severance benefits under any SpinCo Plan, to the same extent and for the same purpose such service was recognized as of the Effective Time under the corresponding RemainCo Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require the SpinCo Group or any equity compensation plan or arrangement maintained by the SpinCo Group after the Effective Time to credit service prior to the Effective Time for purposes of any equity award or other equity-based benefit or equity-based compensation that may be established by the SpinCo Group at any time at or after the Effective Time, except as set forth in Section 3.01 herein.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Distribution Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, no Employee shall receive service credit or benefits to the extent that receipt of such service credit or benefits would result in duplication of benefits provided by another RemainCo Plan or SpinCo Plan.

 

Section 2.06                             Continuity of Benefits and Coverage.  It is the intention of RemainCo and SpinCo that there be uninterrupted benefit plan participation and coverage for RemainCo Employees and SpinCo Employees, notwithstanding the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement.  Therefore, RemainCo and SpinCo shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause there to be no interruption of coverage with respect to the type of benefits or coverage being provided to such Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

Section 2.07                             Establishment and Spinoff of 401(k) Plans.  Prior to the Effective Time, SpinCo (or a designated member of the SpinCo Group) shall adopt two defined contribution pension plans that contain a cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code and are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (collectively, “SpinCo 401(k) Plans”).  The SpinCo 401(k) Plans are intended to replace the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation Employee Savings Plan and the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts Employee Savings Plan (collectively, “RemainCo 401(k) Plans”) for the applicable SpinCo Employee.  From and after the Effective Time, RemainCo shall retain sponsorship of the RemainCo 401(k) Plans.  Immediately after the Effective Time, all SpinCo Employees who, immediately prior to such date, were participants in or otherwise eligible to participate in a RemainCo 401(k) Plan shall be eligible to participate in the corresponding SpinCo 401(k) Plan with respect to compensation paid after the Effective Time.  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, RemainCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the accounts of SpinCo Employees under the RemainCo 401(k) Plans and the value of assets attributable to such accounts of SpinCo Employees to be transferred to the corresponding SpinCo 401(k) Plan in a “transfer of assets or liabilities” in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code and Section 208 of ERISA and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The assets to be transferred shall be in the form of cash or other property, as RemainCo and SpinCo shall mutually agree prior to such transfer.  Prior to such transfer, SpinCo shall provide RemainCo with such documents and other information as RemainCo shall reasonably request to assure itself that the SpinCo 401(k) Plans and the related trusts established pursuant thereto (a) are

 

8











 

qualified and tax-exempt under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, respectively, and (b) contain participant loan provisions and procedures necessary to effect the orderly transfer of participant loan balances associated with the transfer of assets.  Prior to the transfer, RemainCo and SpinCo shall (or shall cause the applicable member(s) of their Group to) notify the IRS of the transfer by timely filing Forms 5310-A, to the extent such filings are required, and RemainCo shall provide to SpinCo copies of such personnel and other records of RemainCo pertaining to the SpinCo Employees and such records of any agent or representative of RemainCo pertaining to the SpinCo Employees, in each case, pertaining to the RemainCo 401(k) Plans and as SpinCo may reasonably request in order to administer and manage the accounts and assets transferred to the SpinCo 401(k) Plans.  Upon such transfer, SpinCo and each member of the SpinCo Group and the SpinCo 401(k) Plans shall assume all liabilities and obligations with respect to all amounts transferred from the RemainCo 401(k) Plans to the SpinCo 401(k) Plans in respect of the SpinCo Employees, and RemainCo and each member of the RemainCo Group and the RemainCo 401(k) Plans shall be relieved of all such liabilities and obligations.

 

Section 2.08                             Group Health Plans.

Liabilities relating to, or arising in connection with, any claims incurred under the RemainCo Group Health Plans by RemainCo Participants and SpinCo Participants during the 2018 plan year, including claims that are self-insured and claims that are fully insured through third party insurance and including the coverage of SpinCo Participants after the Effective Time as described in subsection (ii) below, shall be shared by RemainCo and SpinCo based on the pooling methodology in place prior to the Effective Time.  At the end of the 2018 plan year, all remaining Liabilities for such year with respect to self-insured group health benefits under the RemainCo Group Health Plans shall be apportioned to RemainCo and SpinCo based on the premium contributions of RemainCo and SpinCo for the 2018 plan year.

 

(ii)                                  SpinCo Participants who were participating in the RemainCo Group Health Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to continue participating in such RemainCo Group Health Plans, as applicable, until December 31, 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.  SpinCo Employees who were employed at or before the Effective Time, but who have not completed their benefits waiting or eligibility period for the RemainCo Group Health Plans as of the Effective Time, shall be eligible to participate in the applicable RemainCo Group Health Plans, as of the date prior to January 1, 2019, in which they would have been eligible to participate had they been RemainCo Employees under such RemainCo Group Health Plans, and shall be entitled to continue participating in such RemainCo Group Health Plans until December 31, 2018 pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.  Any SpinCo Employee covered under the RemainCo Group Health Plans who has a qualifying status change (e.g., birth/adoption of a child, marriage) shall be able to make changes to his or her enrollment based on the event in accordance with the terms of the applicable RemainCo Group Health Plan.  SpinCo shall be responsible for the costs of SpinCo Participants’ participation in the RemainCo Group Health Plans after the Effective Time, including pursuant to COBRA as described in Section 2.08(c)(ii) hereof, pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.

With respect to any Liabilities relating to or arising in connection with claims incurred under a SpinCo Group Health Plan by SpinCo Participants from and after the effective date of such SpinCo Group Health Plan, including claims that are self-insured and claims that are fully insured through third party insurance, SpinCo and the applicable SpinCo Group Health Plan shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities.

 

(c)                                  COBRA Continuation Coverage.

 

(i)                                     From and after the Effective Time, (A) the RemainCo Group shall assume or retain and shall be solely responsible for, or cause the RemainCo Group Health Plans (and applicable insurance carriers) to be responsible for, the continuation coverage requirements imposed by COBRA as they relate to any RemainCo Participant or Former Employee, and no member of the SpinCo Group shall have any liability or obligation with respect thereto; and (B) subject to Section 2.08(c)(ii) below, the SpinCo Group shall assume or retain and shall be solely responsible for, or cause the SpinCo Group Health Plans (and applicable insurance carriers) to be responsible for, COBRA continuation coverage requirements as they relate to any SpinCo Participant, and no member of the RemainCo Group shall have any liability or obligation with respect thereto.

 

(ii)                                  A SpinCo Participant who becomes entitled to COBRA continuation coverage by reason of an event that occurs after the Effective Time, but prior to January 1, 2019, shall be entitled to coverage under the applicable RemainCo Group Health Plans through December 31, 2018, and thereafter, such SpinCo Participant shall be entitled to coverage under the applicable SpinCo Group Health Plans for the remainder of his or her COBRA period after December 31, 2018.

 

(d)                                 Business Associate Agreements.  The Parties acknowledge that the RemainCo Group or the SpinCo Group may provide certain administrative services for the other Party’s group health plans for a transitional period under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.  The Parties agree to enter into a business associate agreement, if required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”), or other applicable health information privacy Laws in a customary form to be mutually agreed in connection with the provision of such services.

 

Section 2.09                             Disability Plans.  Each RemainCo Participant and SpinCo Participant who became disabled, as defined under a RemainCo Plan that provides short- or long-term disability benefits prior to the Effective Time, shall be eligible or continue to be eligible for such benefits under the applicable RemainCo Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of such RemainCo Plan; provided that SpinCo shall be responsible for reimbursing RemainCo for any self-insured short-term disability benefits with respect to such disabled SpinCo Employee for the period after the Effective Time until such time as those short-term disability benefits terminate in accordance with the terms of such RemainCo Plan.  In the event any such disabled SpinCo

 

10











 

Employee becomes eligible to transition directly from receiving short-term disability benefits to receiving long-term disability benefits either before, at or after the Effective Time under the applicable RemainCo Plan, RemainCo and the applicable RemainCo Plan shall provide the long-term disability benefits to which such disabled SpinCo Employee is entitled (taking into account, if applicable, the extent to which such employee has elected such coverage and has made the required contributions therefor).  After the Effective Time, the SpinCo Group shall be solely responsible for providing short- and long-term disability benefits under SpinCo Plans to eligible SpinCo Employees who become disabled after the Effective Time, and, effective at the Effective Time, SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group shall take, or cause to be taken, all action necessary and appropriate to establish or designate and administer short- and long-term disability plans to provide benefits thereunder for all eligible SpinCo Employees (and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries).

 

Section 2.10                             Group Term Life, Accidental Death & Dismemberment and Business Travel Accident Insurance Plans.  With respect to any Liabilities relating to or arising in connection with claims incurred by RemainCo Participants or SpinCo Participants under the applicable RemainCo Plan prior to the Effective Time, including claims that are self-insured and claims that are fully insured through third party insurance, RemainCo and the applicable RemainCo Plan shall retain and be responsible for such Liabilities.

Section 2.11                             Insurance Contracts and Third-Party Vendor Agreements.  To the extent any Plan is funded (in whole or in part) through the purchase of an insurance contract, RemainCo and SpinCo shall cooperate, and each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement in relation to such contract and to obtain any necessary consents and maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both RemainCo (or the applicable member of the RemainCo Group) and SpinCo (or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group) for a reasonable term.  To the extent any Plan is administered by a third-party vendor, RemainCo and SpinCo shall cooperate, and each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to replicate any contract with such third-party vendor for RemainCo (or the applicable member of the RemainCo Group) or SpinCo (or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group), as applicable, and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both RemainCo (or the applicable member of the RemainCo Group) and SpinCo (or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group) for a reasonable term.

Section 2.12                             Deferred Compensation Plans.

 

(a)                                 SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans.  As of the Effective Time, SpinCo shall assume and be solely responsible for the satisfaction of Liabilities (the “SpinCo Deferred Compensation Liabilities”) under the RemainCo Deferred Compensation Plans in respect of SpinCo Employees and those non-employee directors of RemainCo who become directors of SpinCo as of the Effective Time (the “SpinCo Directors”).  At or prior to the Effective Time, SpinCo (or a designated member of the SpinCo Group) shall adopt the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans, which shall contain terms and conditions that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the corresponding RemainCo Deferred Compensation Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to such amendments as are necessary to comply with applicable Law.  RemainCo shall cause the applicable trust to transfer to a trust, maintained by SpinCo, assets sufficient to satisfy the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Liabilities, as determined as of the Effective Time.  Following the Effective Time, RemainCo shall retain responsibility for the satisfaction of all Liabilities under the RemainCo Deferred Compensation Plans (other than the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Liabilities) and shall fully perform, pay and discharge all Liabilities related to all participants (other than SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Directors) under the RemainCo Deferred Compensation Plans.

 

(b)                                 All elections made by SpinCo Employees and SpinCo Directors that were in effect under the terms of the applicable RemainCo Deferred Compensation Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue in effect from and after the Effective Time until a new election that, by its terms, supersedes the prior election is made by such SpinCo Employees or SpinCo Directors in accordance with the terms of the applicable SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan and consistent and compliant with the provisions of Code Section 409A.

 

(c)                                  Prior to the Effective Time, RemainCo shall take all actions necessary such that participants who have RemainCo Deferred Units credited to their accounts under any of the RemainCo Director Deferred Compensation Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, effective as of the Effective Time, a number of SpinCo Deferred Units determined in the manner described in Section 3.01(b)(i) for RemainCo RSUs.

 

(d)                                 The terms and conditions relating to the SpinCo Deferred Units shall be substantially similar to the terms and conditions relating to the corresponding RemainCo Deferred Units immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) RemainCo shall cause the RemainCo Deferred Compensation Plans to be amended, effective as of the Effective Time, to provide participants with the ability to re-direct the notional investment of all or a portion of the SpinCo Deferred Units credited by reason of the Distribution into additional RemainCo Deferred Units or into one or more alternative investment vehicles offered under the applicable RemainCo Director Deferred Compensation Plan; and (ii) SpinCo shall cause the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plans to provide participants with the ability to re-direct notional investment of all or a portion of the RemainCo Deferred Units into additional SpinCo Deferred Units or one or more alternative investment vehicles offered under the SpinCo Director Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

Section 2.13                             Severance Pay Plans.  At the Effective Time, RemainCo (or a designated member of the RemainCo Group) shall continue the RemainCo Severance Plans.  Effective as of the Effective Time, SpinCo (or a designated member of the SpinCo Group) shall take, or cause to

 

12











 

be taken, all actions necessary and appropriate to establish, designate or administer the SpinCo Severance Plans.  Employees who become entitled to benefits under a RemainCo Severance Plan for terminations of employment occurring before the Effective Time shall be entitled to continue to receive such benefits in accordance with the terms of the RemainCo Severance Plan, and the RemainCo Group shall be solely responsible for paying the entire amount of the cost of any such benefits.

 

Section 2.14                             Paid Time Off.  At the Effective Time, SpinCo shall assume, as to the SpinCo Employees, and RemainCo shall retain, as to the RemainCo Employees, all accrued Liabilities (whether funded or unfunded) for vacation, sick leave and other paid time off.  SpinCo shall be solely responsible for the payment of such vacation, sick leave and paid time off Liabilities to the SpinCo Employees after the Effective Time, and RemainCo shall be solely responsible for the payment of such vacation, sick leave and paid time off Liabilities to RemainCo Employees after the Effective Time.  Each Party shall provide to its own employees, at the Effective Time, the same balances of vacation, sick leave and other paid time off as credited to such employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

Section 2.15                             Multiemployer Plans.  Certain of the Collective Bargaining Agreements require participation in and contribution to multiemployer pension plans with respect to SpinCo Employees (the “SpinCo MEPPs”) and with respect to RemainCo Employees (the “RemainCo MEPPs”).  Pursuant to the terms of such Collective Bargaining Agreements and applicable Law, effective as of the Effective Time: (a) the applicable members of the SpinCo Group shall continue participation in, and shall assume or retain all Liabilities on account of the SpinCo Employees (and any Former Employees who were engaged in the SpinCo Business) with respect to, the SpinCo MEPPs, regardless of whether such Liabilities arise or relate to events occurring prior to, at, or after the Effective Time; and (b) the applicable members of the RemainCo Group shall continue participation in, and shall assume or retain all Liabilities on account of the RemainCo Employees (and any Former Employees who were engaged in the RemainCo Business) with respect to, the RemainCo MEPPs, regardless of whether such Liabilities arise or relate to events occurring prior to, at, or after the Effective Time.  RemainCo and SpinCo intend that the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement constitute a “change in corporate structure” within the meaning of Section 4218(1)(A) of ERISA with respect to the SpinCo Business and RemainCo Business, respectively, such that no withdrawal from a SpinCo MEPP or RemainCo MEPP shall occur as a result of such transactions, and, to the extent required, RemainCo and SpinCo shall cooperate and take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the applicable SpinCo MEPPs and RemainCo MEPPs have sufficient information to make such determination.  For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if withdrawal liability is asserted against any member of the RemainCo Group or any member of the SpinCo Group, including in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement, (i) the SpinCo Group shall be liable only for that portion of such Liability that is attributable to the contribution history of the SpinCo Business, and (ii) the RemainCo Group shall be liable only for that portion of such Liability that is attributable to the contribution history of the RemainCo Business.

 

Section 2.16                             Other Plans.

 

(a)                                 Unless continued coverage is provided under the Transition Services Agreement, SpinCo or another member of the SpinCo Group shall take, or cause to be taken, all

 

13











 

actions necessary and appropriate to establish a dependent care spending account plan for eligible SpinCo Employees as of the Effective Time, and from and after the Effective Time, SpinCo Employees shall cease to contribute to the RemainCo dependent care spending account plan; provided, however, that SpinCo Employees may continue to make claims under the RemainCo dependent care spending account plan for eligible expenses incurred through the Effective Time (or such later date as provided in the Transition Services Agreement), in accordance with the terms of such plan.

 

(b)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, the RemainCo Group shall retain or assume all Liabilities under all Plans to the extent relating to RemainCo Participants, and the SpinCo Group shall assume or retain all Liabilities under all Plans to the extent relating to SpinCo Participants.

 

Section 2.17                             Reimbursements.  The Parties acknowledge that the RemainCo Group, on the one hand, and the SpinCo Group, on the other hand, may incur costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, contributions to Plans and the payment of insurance premiums or vendor fees or expenses arising from or related to any of the Plans which are, as set forth in this Agreement, the responsibility of the other Party.  Accordingly, the RemainCo Group and the SpinCo Group shall reimburse each other, as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt from the other Party of appropriate verification, for all such costs, fees and expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent this Section 2.17 conflicts with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement related to the same cost or expense, the terms of the Transition Services Agreement shall control.

 

Section 2.18                             Non-U.S. Plans.  The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall be applied equally, to the maximum extent possible, but subject to all applicable Laws, to each applicable RemainCo Plan and SpinCo Plan maintained for RemainCo Employees and SpinCo Employees, as applicable, outside of the United States (“U.S.”).  In the event that the terms and conditions of this Agreement cannot be applied equally to any such RemainCo Plan or SpinCo Plan, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to give effect to the terms of this Agreement to the maximum extent possible and reflecting the allocation of rights, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations described in this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE III

Section 3.01                             Treatment of Equity Awards.  The Parties agree that, and shall take all actions necessary such that, none of the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including, without limitation, this Agreement, constitutes a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition, as applicable, within the meaning of the RemainCo Equity and Incentive Plan or the SpinCo Equity and Incentive Plan (each as defined below).  Following the Distribution Date, for any award adjusted under this Section 3.01, any reference to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition in the RemainCo Equity and Incentive Plan, or an award agreement, employment agreement, or other RemainCo Plan, (x) with respect to equity awards outstanding after the Effective Time that are denominated in RemainCo Common Stock, shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition as set forth in the RemainCo Equity and Incentive Plan or the

 

14











 

applicable award agreement, employment agreement, or other RemainCo Plan, and (y) with respect to equity awards outstanding as of the Effective Time that are denominated in shares of SpinCo Common Stock, such reference shall be deemed to refer to a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar definition as set forth in the SpinCo Equity and Incentive Plan or the applicable award agreement, employment agreement, or other SpinCo Plan.

(i)                                     Prior to the Effective Time, RemainCo shall take all actions necessary such that, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Distribution, each holder of a vested and unvested RemainCo SSAR shall (x) continue to hold such RemainCo SSAR (with the number of shares of RemainCo Common Stock subject to such RemainCo SSAR unchanged as a result of the Distribution, but with the per share exercise price of such RemainCo SSAR adjusted as set forth in Section 3.01(a)(i)(A) below) (a “Post-Spin RemainCo SSAR”), and (y) receive a SpinCo SSAR with respect to the number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock and with an exercise price per share of SpinCo Common Stock determined as set forth in Section 3.01(a)(i)(B) and Section 3.01(a)(i)(C) below, respectively.  Both the Post-Spin RemainCo SSAR and the SpinCo SSAR shall be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding RemainCo SSAR immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as set forth in Section 3.01(a)(ii) and Section 3.01(a)(iii) below.

 

(A)                               The per share exercise price of each Post-Spin RemainCo SSAR shall be equal to the quotient, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of the RemainCo SSAR immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Pre-Spin RemainCo SSAR Price”) by (y) the RemainCo Ratio.
