ERISA Issues. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 "ERISA") came into existence largely because of perceived abuses in the funding and operation of retirement plans. For example, the Studebaker pension plan collapsed because of inadequate funding, leaving thousands of employees without retirement benefits. There was, in addition, a widely publicized and criticized practice of reducing pension costs by firing of retirement-age employees shortly before they vested in plan benefits. The response of Congress was to impose, through ERISA, a comprehensive and detailed scheme to regulate retirement and welfare plans to prevent such abuses. ERISA, therefore, throws a wide net in the employer-employee benefit arrangements it seeks to regulate. Any plan or arrangement that defers compensation until retirement is generally regarded as a pension plan by ERISA. However, the statute also contains the exemptions discussed below for deferred compensation arrangements where ERISA's protections were not thought to be needed. Deferred compensation plans have generally been drafted to fall within the ERISA exemptions and thus avoid compliance with the following requirements applicable to ERISA retirement plans: -vesting (non-forfeitability) of benefits on a five-year cliff or six-year graded basis; -participation of employees on a non-discriminatory basis; - pre-funding of promised benefits under a separate trust arrangement in accordance with actuarial valuations; -the exercise of fiduciary responsibility (and resulting liability) by plan administrators; -compliance with PBGC termination insurance provisions; and -reporting and disclosure to the IRS, U.S. Department of Labor and plan participants, including Summary Plan Descriptions and Summary Annual Reports (see the last item in this column for the abbreviated requirements applicable to top hat plans. If an employer is subject to these ERISA requirements because an exemption is unavailable, the requirements can be enforced by either the U.S. Department of Labor or by any affected plan participant. And if the deferred compensation arrangement has not been designed and administered with the ERISA exemptions in mind, the chances are good that the requirements will not have been met, and the employer may incur unanticipated liabilities to participants or the government. Accordingly, careful attention should be paid to the scope of the exemptions.

No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each employee benefit plan established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.
