ERISA; Benefit Plans Sample Clauses

The "ERISA; Benefit Plans" clause defines the parties' responsibilities and representations regarding employee benefit plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Typically, this clause requires a party—often the seller in a transaction—to confirm that all benefit plans offered to employees are in compliance with ERISA and other applicable laws, and that there are no undisclosed liabilities or violations related to these plans. By including this clause, the agreement ensures transparency about the status and legal compliance of employee benefit plans, thereby protecting the other party from inheriting unexpected obligations or legal risks associated with such plans.
ERISA; Benefit Plans. Schedule 3.22 (i) lists (A) each ERISA Pension Benefit Plan (1) the funding requirements of which (under Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code) are, or at any time during the six-year period ended on the date hereof were, in whole or in part, the responsibility of the Company or (2) respecting which the Company is, or at any time during that period was, a "contributing sponsor" or an "employer" as defined in Sections 4001(a)(13) and 3(5), respectively, of ERISA (each plan this clause (A) describes being a "Company ERISA Pension Plan"), (B) each other ERISA Pension Benefit Plan respecting which an ERISA Affiliate is, or at any time during that period was, such a "contributing sponsor" or "employer" (each plan this clause (B) describes being an "ERISA Affiliate Pension Plan") and (C) each other ERISA Employee Benefit Plan that is being, or at any time during that period was, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company (each plan this clause (C) describes and each Company ERISA Pension Plan being a "Company ERISA Benefit Plan"), (ii) states the termination date of each Company ERISA Benefit Plan and ERISA Affiliate Pension Plan that has been terminated and (iii) identifies for each ERISA Affiliate Pension Plan the relevant ERISA Affiliates. The Company has provided Buyer with true, complete and correct copies of (i) the Company ERISA Benefit Plan and ERISA Affiliate Pension Plan, (ii) each trust agreement related thereto and (iii) all amendments to those plans and trust agreements. Except as Schedule 3.22 sets forth, (i) the Company is not, and at no time during the six-year period ended on the date hereof was, a member of any ERISA Group that currently includes, or included when the Company was a member, among its members any Person other than the Company and (ii) no Person is an ERISA Affiliate of the Company.
ERISA; Benefit Plans. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party and ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other federal, state or local laws relating to the Plans, and with all regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan. (b) Except for the UK Pension Scheme, (i) neither a UK Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is or has at any time been an employer (for the purposes of Sections 38 to 51 of the UK Pensions Act 2004) of an occupational pension scheme which is not a money purchase scheme (both terms as defined in the UK Pensions Schemes Act 1993) and (ii) neither a UK Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is or has at any time been “connected” with or an “associate” of (as those terms are used in Sections 38 and 43 of the UK Pensions Act 2004) such an employer.

Any such determination that has been obtained remains in effect and has not been revoked, and with respect to any application that is pending, no Seller Party has any reason to believe that such application for determination will be denied.
