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.

With respect to each Company Benefit Plans, the Company has delivered or made available to Parent a true, complete and correct copy of (i) such Company Benefit Plan and the most recent summary plan description related to such Company Benefit Plan, if a summary plan description is required therefor, (ii) each trust agreement or other funding arrangement relating to such Company Benefit Plan, (iii) the most recent annual report (Form 5500) filed with the IRS) with respect to such Company Benefit Plan, (iv) the most recent actuarial report or financial statement relating to such Company Benefit Plan and (v) the most recent determination letter issued by the IRS with respect to such Company Benefit Plan, if it is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Except as disclosed on Section 4.09(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no other employee benefit plans, programs, arrangements or agreements, whether formal or informal, whether in writing or not, to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party, with respect to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has any obligation or which are maintained, contributed to or sponsored by the Company or any Company Subsidiary for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any express or implied commitment, whether legally enforceable or not, (i) to create, incur liability with respect to or cause to exist any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement, (ii) to enter into any contract or agreement to provide compensation or benefits to any individual or (iii) to modify, change or terminate any Company Benefit Plan, other than with respect to a modification, change or termination required by ERISA or the Code.
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.
