SCHEDULE 4.01(h)

ERISA MATTERS

(i)  ERISA Affiliates Solar Turbines Incorporated and Solar Turbines Services Company (collectively, “Solar”) were provided a notice of withdrawal liability assessment by the Stationary Engineers Local 39 Pension Trust Fund.  Solar has paid the amount(s) currently due under the assessment and is evaluating whether it will challenge the assessment under Sections 4219 and 4221 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

(ii)  In August 2010 Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. (“EMD”) became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Caterpillar.  As a result of an actuarial miscalculation, the third quarter 2009 payment of the minimum required contribution under the Individual Retirement Plan for Hourly Employees of EMD, payable October 15, 2009, was $1,905 less than the required minimum amount due on that date.  This shortfall continued, but did not increase, with the following quarterly payment on January 15, 2010.  The shortfall plus a related penalty of $88 was included as part of the final payment for the minimum required contribution for 2009 on September 15, 2010.
