Common use of Qualifying Offer Clause in Contracts

Qualifying Offer. Each Subject Employee who accepts Acquiror’s (or Acquiror Management’s) offer of employment and commences employment with an Acquiror Entity on or after the Closing Date (including any Executive/Sales Employee and any Operational Support Employee who receives and accepts an offer of employment pursuant to Section 5.18(b) or Section 5.18(c) below) shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” Acquiror and the Contributor Parties intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result in a severance of employment of any Transferred Employee for purposes of any Contributor Employee Benefit Plan and that the Transferred Employees shall have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing, and Acquiror and the Contributor Parties shall use reasonable efforts to ensure the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the prior sentence in no way obligates Acquiror or any of its Affiliates to employ any Transferred Employee for any length of service.
