ARTICLE II

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Section 2.01 Employment.

(a) Allocation of Employees. MII and MVWC shall take all steps necessary or appropriate so that all of the Employees of MII and its Subsidiaries as of the Cut-off Date are allocated between the MII Retained Business and MVWC Business as of the Effective Date in accordance with the principles set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.01(a). In making such allocation of Employees of MII and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.01(a), MII and MVWC shall share such information regarding the allocation of Employees as is reasonably requested. An Employee who is (1) allocated to the MII Retained Business and (2) employed by MII or a Retained Subsidiary as of the Effective Date is a “Retained Employee.” An Employee who is (1) allocated to the MVWC Group and (2) employed by MVWC or a MVWC Subsidiary as of the Effective Date is a “MVWC Employee”. All Employees of MII and its Subsidiaries as of the Cut-off Date shall be allocated as either Retained Employees or MVWC Employees on the Effective Date.

(i) In making the allocation provided for in this Section 2.01(a), and subject to paragraph (ii) hereof, MII and MVWC shall allocate each Employee whose employment duties prior to the Effective Date relate exclusively to the MII Retained Business to MII and each Employee whose employment duties prior to the Effective Date relate exclusively to the MVWC Business to the MVWC Group. MII and MVWC shall allocate all other Employees, in a mutually agreeable manner that, to the extent possible, takes into account the Employees’ expertise, experience and existing positions and duties and does not unreasonably disrupt either the MII Retained Business or MVWC Business and maximizes the ability of each of the MII Retained Business and MVWC Business to manage and operate their respective businesses after the Effective Date, taking into account the respective needs of such businesses as established by past practice.

(ii) MII and MVWC each agree that, between the date hereof and the Effective Date, Employees will not be transferred between the MII Retained Business or MVWC Business except as (A) necessary to effect the second sentence of paragraph (i) of this subsection 2.01(a), (B) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (C) in accordance with the procedures described in the next sentence. MII and MVWC agree that, between the date hereof and the Effective Date, the senior human resources executive of each party will consult with the senior human resources executive of the other party in connection with the transfer of any employee whose duties relate primarily to the MVWC Business or MII Retained Business, as the case may be, and whose supervisor objects to the transfer. Consent by the other party to any such transfer will not be required.

(b) Allocation of Responsibilities as Employer. On the Effective Date, except to the extent retained or assumed by MII under this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Distribution, MVWC shall retain or assume, as the case may be, responsibility as employer for the MVWC Employees. On the Effective Date, except to the extent retained or assumed by MVWC under this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Distribution, MII shall retain or assume, as the case may be, responsibility as employer for the Retained Employees. The assumption or retention of responsibility as employer by MII or MVWC described in this Section 2.01 shall not, of itself, constitute a severance or a termination of employment under any Plan of severance maintained by MII or MVWC.

(c) Service Credits. In connection with the Distribution and for purposes of determining Service Credits (but excluding accrual of benefits other than vacation, sick leave, health and welfare benefits, eligibility for Club 25 or Quarter Century Club associate discount programs or severance) under any Plans, MII shall credit each Retained Employee and MVWC shall credit each MVWC Employee with such Employee’s Service Credits and current hire date as reflected in MII’s human resources system records as of the Cut-off Date. Such Service Credits and hire date shall continue to be maintained as described herein for as long as the Employee does not terminate employment.

(d) Transfer of Employees Following the Effective Date. For a period of ninety (90) days following the Effective Date, in the case of a transfer of a Pre-Distribution Employee from the MVWC Group to MII or from MII to the MVWC Group, (i) the transferee employer will recognize the most recent hire date of such Employee prior to the Distribution with MII or one of its Subsidiaries for purposes of Service Credits with the transferee employer, including toward any waiting period under any Plan; (ii) such Employee will be given credit under the transferee employer’s Medical/Dental/Vision Plan toward any deductible or out-of-pocket maximum for amounts paid while employed by the transferor employer; and (iii) the transferee employer shall provide the Employee with the same balance of vested and unvested vacation and sick leave hours as had been accrued by the transferor employer through the date of transfer from the transferor employer; provided that the transferor employer shall promptly notify the transferee employer in writing of the occurrence of any such termination subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01(d)(iii), and shall make a payment to such transferee employer within thirty (30) days of the aforesaid termination date from the transferor employer in an amount equal to the value of the transferring employee’s vested and unvested balance of vacation leave accrued by the transferor employer through such termination date with such transferor employer, based on the employee’s final rate of pay with the transferor employer.

Section 2.02 Retirement Plans.

(a) MII Profit Sharing Plan. Effective as of the Effective Date, MII shall retain sponsorship of the MII Profit Sharing Plan. MVWC Employees shall cease contributions to the MII Profit Sharing Plan with respect to pay earned on or after November 5, 2011.

After the Distribution, MVWC shall retain all assets and liabilities of the MVWC 401(k) Plan. Effective as of November 5, 2011, all MVWC Employees who, immediately prior to such date, were participants in or otherwise eligible to participate in the MII Profit Sharing Plan shall be eligible to participate in the MVWC 401(k) Plan with respect to pay earned on or after November 5, 2011. The MVWC 401(k) Plan shall be intended to qualify for tax-favored treatment under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code and to be in compliance with the applicable requirements of ERISA.

(c) Company Contribution. MVWC Employees who made elective deferrals or after-tax contributions to the MII Profit Sharing Plan for the period of the 2011 calendar year preceding November 5, 2011, shall be eligible for a Company Contribution for the 2011 Plan Year based on contributions made to the MII Profit Sharing Plan and compensation during such period, notwithstanding the fact that they are not employed by MII as of the last day of the 2011 Plan Year and such contributions should be made no later than March 31, 2012.

(d) Rollovers from MII Profit Sharing Plan to MVWC 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Distribution Date, the MVWC 401(k) Plan will accept rollovers from the MII Profit Sharing Plan provided participants comply with the procedures specified by both Plans.

Section 2.03 Deferred Compensation Plans.

(a) MII Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective as of the Effective Date, MII shall retain sponsorship of the MII Deferred Compensation Plan. MII shall be responsible for payment of all liabilities and obligations of MII accrued under the MII Deferred Compensation Plan, regardless of when such payment becomes due, including, but not limited to, liabilities to MVWC Employees pursuant to participation in the MII Deferred Compensation Plan for periods prior to the Cut-off Date, along with notional earnings required to be credited to account balances included therein in accordance with the terms of the MII Deferred Compensation Plan. Nothing herein shall limit MII’s ability to terminate the MII Deferred Compensation Plan at any time and make immediate distributions of all accounts.

(b) Liability for Distributions to MVWC Employees. Following the Effective Date, in the case of distributions by MII to participants in the MII Deferred Compensation Plan who are or were MVWC Employees on the Cut-off Date (or on any date during the 90-day period described in Section 2.01(d)), MVWC shall be responsible for paying MII the amount of such distributions within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from MII detailing the amount of such distributions.

(c) Sharing of Information. Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, MII will submit to MVWC a listing of all MVWC Employees who maintain a balance in the MII Deferred Compensation Plan and will provide an updated list one hundred twenty (120) days following the Effective Date.

Compensation Plan as of the Cut-off Date (or any date during the 90-day period described in Section 2.01(d)). MVWC acknowledges that receipt of timely information concerning termination of employment of MVWC Employees with accounts under the MII Deferred Compensation Plan is essential to avoid penalties under Code Section 409A and shall indemnify MII for any liability arising by reason of the failure to properly distribute accounts under the MII Deferred Compensation Plan to MVWC Employees due to MVWC’s failure to timely advise MII of a termination of employment. For purposes of this section 2.03(c), information concerning terminations of employment shall include instructions by MVWC regarding which employees shall be subject to the six-month delay on distributions to “specified employees” under Code Section 409A.
