Employee Benefits Plans Schedule 6.11 hereto identifies each ERISA Plan as of the Closing Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan. No Controlled Group member has failed to make a required material installment or other required material payment under Section 412(a) of the Code on or before the due date or within a reasonable time after such due date. No Controlled Group member has failed to make contributions to an ERISA Plan that is a Multiemployer Plan in accordance with the applicable governing documents which is reasonably likely to result in a material liability to the Controlled Group member. No Benefit Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) has any accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 412(a) of the Code). None of the Companies have adopted or plans to adopt any amendments that could reasonably result in a material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan. With respect to each ERISA Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply (or as soon as reasonably practicable are corrected to comply) with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial amendment period” has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), subject to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”; and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employees Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets by an amount that would have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Foreign Employee Benefit Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for Foreign Employee Benefit Plan. With respect to any Foreign Employee Benefit Plan, reasonable reserves have been established in accordance with local laws or prudent business practice or where required by ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which Foreign Employee Benefit Plan is maintained.
Employee Benefits; ERISA (a) Schedule 4.17 contains a true and complete list of each material bonus, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock purchase, stock option, severance, change-in-control, or termination pay, hospitalization or other medical, life or other insurance, supplemental unemployment benefits, profit sharing, pension, or retirement plan, program, agreement or arrangement, and each other material employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, sponsored, maintained or contributed to or required to be contributed to by any Conveyed Entity, any Subsidiary thereof or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated (an "ERISA Affiliate"), that together with any Conveyed Entity would be deemed a "single employer" within the meaning of Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA, for the benefit of any employee or former employee of any Conveyed Entity, Subsidiary thereof or any ERISA Affiliate (the "Plans"). Schedule 4.17 identifies each of the Plans that is an "employee welfare benefit plan," or "employee pension benefit plan" as such terms are defined in Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of ERISA (such plans being hereinafter referred to collectively as the "ERISA Plans"). No Conveyed Entity, Subsidiary thereof or any ERISA Affiliate has any formal plan or commitment, whether legally binding or not, to create any additional Plan or modify or change any existing Plan that would affect any employee or former employee of any Conveyed Entity, any Subsidiary thereof or any ERISA Affiliate except to the extent that any such creation, modification or change could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability of a Conveyed Entity or any of its Subsidiaries.
Employee Benefit Plans and Compensation (a) For purposes of this Section 2.22, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
Employee Benefits Matters promptly, and in any event within 5 days after a Responsible Officer becoming aware of any of the following, a written notice setting forth the nature thereof and the action, if any, that the Company or an ERISA Affiliate proposes to take with respect thereto:
Other Employee Benefits In addition to the foregoing, during the Employment Term, the Employee will be entitled to participate in and to receive benefits as a senior executive under all of the Company’s employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements available to senior executives, subject to the eligibility criteria and other terms and conditions thereof, as such plans, programs and arrangements may be duly amended, terminated, approved or adopted by the Board from time to time.
Certain Employee Benefits In the event that Acquiror discontinues any Company Benefit Plans for the benefit of Continuing Employees and replaces them with new benefit plans, programs or arrangements or Acquiror Benefit Plans, Acquiror shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cause each such plan, program or arrangement to treat such Continuing Employee in the same manner as similarly situated employees of Acquiror and treat the prior service with the Company of each Continuing Employee (to the same extent such service is recognized under any analogous plans, programs or arrangements of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time to the extent such a plan, program or arrangement is in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time) as service rendered to Acquiror or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, solely for purposes of eligibility to participate and for vesting thereunder (but not for purposes of benefit accruals under a defined benefit plan). To the extent commercially reasonable, Acquiror and its Subsidiaries will cause any and all preexisting condition limitations (to the extent applicable) and eligibility waiting periods, under any health plans maintained or adopted by Acquiror or its Subsidiaries in which Covered Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, to be waived with respect to (a) Continuing Employees who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, participated in a Company- sponsored health plan and (b) their eligible dependents. Acquiror and its Subsidiaries will make commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, for purposes of any annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its existing or any new health plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees and their dependents during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs under the health plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall 61 61 prevent Acquiror from amending or terminating any Company Benefit Plans or Acquiror Benefit Plans (or its Subsidiaries) or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or understandings, in accordance with their terms and applicable law; providing, however, that the arrangements identified in Section 5.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be administered as described therein. No Continuing Employee who participates in any Acquiror Benefit Plan as of the date of this Agreement shall be adversely affected by the provisions of this section 5.11, other than the preservation of the rights of Acquiror or its Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plans or Acquiror Benefit Plans or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or understandings, as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
Other Employee Benefit Plans During the Employment Period, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all compensation, incentive, employee benefit, welfare and other plans, practices, policies and programs and fringe benefits on a basis no less favorable than that provided to any other executive officer of the Company.
Employee Benefit Plans Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan, (b) each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and, to the knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status, (c) no liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, (d) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur and (e) except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the then-current aggregate value of the assets of such Pension Plan by more than $150,000,000. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA, is not more than $150,000,000. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.
Additional Employee Benefits Executive will receive an annual grant of 208 hours of credit (or such higher number of hours as are credited to Corporation’s other senior executives) under Corporation’s Personal Time Off (PTO) program. Personal time off and vacation may be taken in accordance with Corporation’s rules, practices, and policies applicable to Corporation’s senior executive employees, as such rules, practices, and policies may be revised from time to time by the Board or the Committee. During the Term, Executive will be entitled to any other employee benefits approved by the Board or the Committee, or available to officers and other management employees generally, including any life and medical insurance plans, 401(k) and other similar plans, and health and welfare plans, each whether now existing or hereafter approved by the Board or the Committee (“Benefit Plans”). The foregoing will not be construed to require Corporation to establish any such plans or to prevent Corporation from modifying or terminating any such Benefit Plans.
Employee Benefit Programs During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee pension and welfare benefit plans and programs made available to the Company’s senior level executives.
