Benefit Plans; ERISA (a) The Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list of all "employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, excess benefit, stock, stock option, severance, termination pay, change in control or other material employee benefit plans, programs, arrangements or agreements currently maintained, or contributed to, or required to be maintained or contributed to, by the Company, the Majority Stockholder or any Person that, together with the Company, is treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code for the benefit of any current or former employees, officers, directors or independent contractors of the Company or any Subsidiary and with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary has any liability (collectively, the "Benefit Plans"). The Company has delivered or made available to Parent true, complete and correct copies of each Benefit Plan. (b) Each Benefit Plan has been administered in accordance with its terms and in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable law, except where the failure to so administer or comply would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. (c) All Benefit Plans intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code have been the subject of determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such Benefit Plans are qualified and exempt from federal income taxes under Section 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code as amended at least through the statutory changes implemented under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and no such determination letter has been revoked nor, to the knowledge of the Company, has revocation been threatened, nor has any such Benefit Plan been amended since the date of its most recent determination letter or application therefor in any respect that would adversely affect its qualification. (d) No Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code and no Benefit Plan is a "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). (e) No Person has incurred any material liability under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code during the time such Person was required to be treated as a single employer with the Company under Section 414 of the Code that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect. (f) With respect to any Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA), (i) no such Benefit Plan provides benefits, including without limitation, death or medical benefits, beyond termination of employment or retirement other than (A) coverage mandated by law or (B) death or retirement benefits under a Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and (ii) each such Benefit Plan (including any such Plan covering retirees or other former employees) may be amended or terminated without liability that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect. (g) The execution of, and performance of the transactions contemplated in, this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) constitute an event under any Benefit Plan that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of the Company or Parent to cause any such Benefit Plan to be amended or terminated (or which would result in any materially adverse consequence for so doing). No payment or benefit that will or may be made by the Company, Parent, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates with respect to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Benefit Plan in connection with the Offer and the Merger will be characterized as an "excess parachute payment," within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. The parties hereby agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to limit the application of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Pension Plans Any of the following events shall occur with respect to any Pension Plan: (a) the termination of a Pension Plan if, as a result of such termination, Borrower or any member of its Controlled Group could be required to make a contribution to such Pension Plan, or would reasonably expect to incur a liability or obligation to such Pension Plan, in excess of $150,000,000; or (b) a contribution failure occurs with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA with respect to a liability or obligation in excess of $150,000,000.
