Defined Benefit Plans The Company has not maintained or contributed to a defined benefit plan as defined in Section 3(35) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). No plan maintained or contributed to by the Company that is subject to ERISA (an “ERISA Plan”) (or any trust created thereunder) has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that could subject the Company to any material tax penalty on prohibited transactions and that has not adequately been corrected. Each ERISA Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all reporting, disclosure and other requirements of the Code and ERISA as they relate to such ERISA Plan, except for any noncompliance which would not result in the imposition of a material tax or monetary penalty. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, either (i) a determination letter has been issued by the Internal Revenue Service stating that such ERISA Plan and the attendant trust are qualified thereunder, or (ii) the remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code with respect to the establishment of such ERISA Plan has not ended and a determination letter application will be filed with respect to such ERISA Plan prior to the end of such remedial amendment period. The Company has never completely or partially withdrawn from a “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.
Defined Benefit Plan A plan under which a Participant’s benefit is determined by a formula contained in the plan and no Employee accounts are maintained for Participants.

(ii) no liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums, all of which have been paid) has been incurred and is outstanding with respect to any Pension Plan, except for such liabilities that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there has not been any Reportable Event, or any other event or condition, which could reasonably be expected to result in the involuntary termination of any Pension Plan by the PBGC and that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) neither any Plan nor any trust created thereunder, nor to the knowledge of each Credit Party any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a prohibited transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject the Credit Parties or ERISA Affiliates to any material tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed under said Section 4975 or Section 502(i) of ERISA; and no Credit Party nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has received any notice that any Multiemployer Plan or trust created thereunder, or any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in any such prohibited transaction, except for transactions that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) no liability has been incurred and is outstanding with respect to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of the complete or partial withdrawal by any Credit Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates from such Multiemployer Plan under Title IV of ERISA, nor has any Credit Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates been notified by any Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is currently in reorganization or insolvency under and within the meaning of Section 4241 or 4245 of ERISA or that such Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA, except for such non-compliances that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (v) each Credit Party and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to all Plans and Multiemployer Plans, except where non-compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

(vii) no Credit Party nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has received any notice to the effect that any Multiemployer Plan has any unfunded vested benefits within the meaning of Section 4213(c) of ERISA, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (viii) no event has occurred with respect to any Plan or Pension Plan established or maintained at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding the Closing Date for the benefit of employees of any Credit Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates which could reasonably be expected to result in liability of any Credit Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates under Section 4069 of ERISA and that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ix) except as described in Schedule 4.18, there are no liabilities under the Plans that are employee welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) providing for medical, health, life or other welfare benefits that are not insured by fully paid non-assessable insurance policies, except for liabilities that would be recognized for accounting purposes under FASB 106 and that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no such Plan provides for continued medical, health, life or other welfare benefits for employees after they leave the employment of any Credit Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates (other than any such welfare benefits required to be provided under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act or other similar law); and (x) no Credit Party nor any of its ERISA Affiliates is a party in interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) with respect to any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), other than the Plans. (c) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of the Parent, its Affiliates or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction that subject the Parent, the Issuer, or any of their Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to a material tax or civil penalty. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Purchasers in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities, with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened against the Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
