to similarly-situated employees of Acquiror and its Affiliates, provided that, during the Continuation Period, Acquiror and SplitCo will cause the Galleria Group to maintain a comparable Expatriate Package for the Expatriate Employee until such transfer and to pay the costs of such transfer to the same extent and on the same terms as provided for in Acquiror’s relocation policies applicable to similarly-situated employees of Acquiror and its Affiliates (a “ Transfer Offer ”).

In the case of an Expatriate Employee who accepts a Repatriation Offer, the requirements of Section 6.04(b)(i) and Section 6.04(d) (including the amount of any Compensation Gap) will be determined without regard to the Expatriate Employee’s Expatriate Package and as if the Expatriate Employee had been returned to his or her home country immediately prior to the Closing.

In addition, with respect to any Expatriate Employee who rejects an offer of employment made pursuant to Section 6.02(b) , any Liabilities arising from the resulting termination of such employee from employment with any member of the Parent Group or the Galleria Group will be Galleria Liabilities and will be the sole responsibility of Acquiror. Acquiror and SplitCo will be responsible for all costs and expenses arising from the rejection of such an offer of employment by an Expatriate Employee, including any costs arising from the recruitment and hiring of a new employee to fill that Expatriate Employee’s role. For clarity, in no event will SplitCo or Acquiror’s obligations under this Section 6.04(g) extend beyond the Continuation Period.
