Benefit Plans and Perquisites For as long as the Executive is employed by the Company, the Executive shall be eligible (x) to participate in any and all officer or employee compensation, incentive compensation and benefit plans in effect from time to time, including without limitation plans providing retirement, medical, dental, disability, and group life benefits and including incentive or bonus plans existing on the date of this Agreement or adopted after the date of this Agreement, provided that the Executive satisfies the eligibility requirements for any the plans or benefits, and (y) to receive any and all other fringe and other benefits provided from time to time, including the specific items described in (a)-(b) below.
Benefit Plans (i) Section 3.2(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of each material Company Benefit Plan. A “Company Benefit Plan” is a Benefit Plan (x) maintained, entered into or contributed to by Company or any of its Subsidiaries under which any present or former employee, director, independent contractor or consultant of Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any present or future right to benefits or (y) under which Company or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have any present or future liability. No Company Benefit Plan is subject to Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA of section 412 of the Code. No Company Benefit Plan is a multiemployer plan, as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA or a multiple employer welfare arrangement as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA. (ii) With respect to each material Company Benefit Plan, Company has made available to Parent a current, accurate and complete copy thereof, and, to the extent applicable: (A) any related trust agreement or other funding instrument; (B) the most recent determination letter, if applicable; (C) any summary plan description and summaries of material modifications; and (D) the most recent year’s Form 5500 and attached schedules and audited financial statements. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Company, each Company Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and the plan as currently in effect has received a favorable determination letter to that effect from the Internal Revenue Service and Company is not aware of any reason why any such determination letter should be revoked or not be reissued. Each Company Benefit Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including ERISA and the Code, which are applicable to such Company Benefit Plan with such exceptions as would not be reasonable expected to have a material adverse effect on Company. No events have occurred with respect to any Company Benefit Plan that could result in payment or assessment by or against Company or any Company ERISA Affiliate (as defined in paragraph (v) below) of any excise taxes under Sections 4972, 4975, 4976, 4977, 4979, 4980B, 4980D, 4980E or 5000 of the Code with such exceptions as would not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on Company. (iii) With respect to the Company Benefit Plans, individually and in the aggregate, no event has occurred and there exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with which Company or any of its Subsidiaries could be subject to any liability that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Company under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law. (iv) There is no contract, plan or arrangement (whether or not written) covering any employee or former employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of Section 280G or 162(m) of the Code, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby alone or together with any other event. (v) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (A) no liability under Title IV or section 302 of ERISA has been incurred by Company, or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, that together with Company would be deemed a “single employer” within the meaning of section 4001(b) of ERISA (a “Company ERISA Affiliate”), that has not been satisfied in full, and (B) no condition exists that presents a risk to Company or any Company ERISA Affiliate of incurring any such liability. (vi) There is no current or projected liability in respect of post-employment or post-retirement health or medical or life insurance benefits for retired, former or current employees of Company or its Subsidiaries, except as required to avoid excise tax under Section 4980B of the Code. (vii) All contributions and payments due under each Company Benefit Plan, determined in accordance with prior funding and accrual practices, as adjusted to include proportional accruals for the period ending on the Effective Time, will be discharged and paid on or prior to the Effective Time except to the extent accrued as a liability in accordance with ordinary Company practice.
Employee Benefit Plans and Programs During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be treated as an employee of the Company and shall be entitled to participate in and receive benefits under any and all qualified or non-qualified retirement, pension, savings, profit-sharing or stock bonus plans, any and all group life, health (including hospitalization, medical and major medical), dental, accident and long term disability insurance plans, and any other employee benefit and compensation plans (including, but not limited to, any incentive compensation plans or programs, stock option and appreciation rights plans and restricted stock plans) as may from time to time be maintained by, or cover employees of, the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such employee benefit plans and programs and compensation plans and programs and consistent with the Company's customary practices.
Benefit Plans; ERISA (a) The Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list of all "employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, excess benefit, stock, stock option, severance, termination pay, change in control or other material employee benefit plans, programs, arrangements or agreements currently maintained, or contributed to, or required to be maintained or contributed to, by the Company, the Majority Stockholder or any Person that, together with the Company, is treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code for the benefit of any current or former employees, officers, directors or independent contractors of the Company or any Subsidiary and with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary has any liability (collectively, the "Benefit Plans"). The Company has delivered or made available to Parent true, complete and correct copies of each Benefit Plan. (b) Each Benefit Plan has been administered in accordance with its terms and in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable law, except where the failure to so administer or comply would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. (c) All Benefit Plans intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code have been the subject of determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such Benefit Plans are qualified and exempt from federal income taxes under Section 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code as amended at least through the statutory changes implemented under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and no such determination letter has been revoked nor, to the knowledge of the Company, has revocation been threatened, nor has any such Benefit Plan been amended since the date of its most recent determination letter or application therefor in any respect that would adversely affect its qualification. (d) No Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code and no Benefit Plan is a "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). (e) No Person has incurred any material liability under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code during the time such Person was required to be treated as a single employer with the Company under Section 414 of the Code that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect. (f) With respect to any Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA), (i) no such Benefit Plan provides benefits, including without limitation, death or medical benefits, beyond termination of employment or retirement other than (A) coverage mandated by law or (B) death or retirement benefits under a Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and (ii) each such Benefit Plan (including any such Plan covering retirees or other former employees) may be amended or terminated without liability that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect. (g) The execution of, and performance of the transactions contemplated in, this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) constitute an event under any Benefit Plan that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of the Company or Parent to cause any such Benefit Plan to be amended or terminated (or which would result in any materially adverse consequence for so doing). No payment or benefit that will or may be made by the Company, Parent, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates with respect to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Benefit Plan in connection with the Offer and the Merger will be characterized as an "excess parachute payment," within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. The parties hereby agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to limit the application of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Employee Plans Except as provided in Section 4.12, the Assuming Institution shall have no liabilities, obligations or responsibilities under the Failed Bank's health care, bonus, vacation, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, 401K or stock purchase plans or similar plans, if any, unless the Receiver and the Assuming Institution agree otherwise subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
Pension Plans Any of the following events shall occur with respect to any Pension Plan (a) the institution of any steps by the Borrower, any member of its Controlled Group or any other Person to terminate a Pension Plan if, as a result of such termination, the Borrower or any such member could be required to make a contribution to such Pension Plan, or could reasonably expect to incur a liability or obligation to such Pension Plan, in excess of $10,000,000; or (b) a contribution failure occurs with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA.
Borrowing Subsidiaries Within two Business Days after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by a Subsidiary and the Company, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a notice of such request to become a Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement. If the designation of such Borrowing Subsidiary obligates the Administrative Agent or a Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Company, (a) within five Business Days after the receipt of such a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement in respect of a Domestic Subsidiary or (b) within 10 Business Days after the receipt of such a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement in respect of a Foreign Subsidiary, a request to that effect, and the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such request, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and comply with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act or any other applicable laws and regulations, and, unless the results of such inquiry conflict with the requirements of such laws and regulations, or if no such request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender is made within the time period set forth above, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and a Borrower hereunder with the same effect as if it had been an original party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary shall become a Borrower Subsidiary if it shall be unlawful for such Subsidiary to become a Borrower hereunder or for any Lender to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to such Subsidiary as provided herein or for any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiary. Upon the execution by the Company and a Borrowing Subsidiary and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Borrowing Subsidiary, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder; provided that no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary (other than to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to obtain further Loans or Letters of Credit under this Agreement) at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary or any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.
Material Contracts and Commitments (a) Section 3.16 of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a true and complete list as of the date of this Agreement of all of the following contracts, agreements and commitments, whether oral or written ("Contracts"), to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their material Company Assets is bound, as each such contract or commitment may have been amended, modified or supplemented: (i) any agreement (including all master commitments and pool purchase contracts) between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any Agency or Investor pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries sold more than $175 million in principal amount of Mortgage Loans during fiscal year 1999, and all insurance or guaranty contracts (including contracts with any private mortgage insurer or Pool (as defined herein) insurance provider with respect to the Mortgage Loans; (ii) any agreement (or group of related agreements) for the lease of personal property to or from any Person providing for rent in excess of $100,000 during any twelve-month period; (iii) any agreement for the lease of real property providing for the payment of rent in excess of $250,000 during any twelve-month period; (iv) any agreement (or group of related agreements) or indemnity under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed any debt including without limitation any indebtedness for borrowed money, warehouse lines of credit, or any capitalized lease or purchase money obligation (except for intercompany obligations); (v) any agreement under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has granted a lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance upon any of its material assets; (vi) any agreement under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify a director, officer or employee; (vii) any agreement for the employment of any individual on a full-time, part-time, consulting or other basis other than oral retainers of professionals terminable at will except for employment agreements of employees with a salary of less than $100,000 who have signed the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' standard form employment agreement (excluding commissioned employees); (viii) any agreement concerning confidentiality or noncompetition given by the Company other than those agreements (A) with employees on the Company's standard form employment, (B) related to Company Stock Options, (C) entered into with any Person in connection with the proposed sale of the Company and (D) that do not materially restrict the manner in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries conduct its business; (ix) any other plan, contract or arrangement, whether formal or informal, which involves direct or indirect compensation (including bonus, stock option, severance, golden parachute, deferred compensation, special retirement, consulting and similar agreements and all agreements and arrangements regarding the Company's net branches) for the benefit of one or more of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company (other than Company Employee Plans described in Section 3.12(a)); (x) any guaranty or suretyship, performance bond or contribution agreement; (xi) any marketing, sales representative or dealership agreement with respect to which the fees paid or payable by the Company are or will be in excess of $100,000; any material agreement relating to e-commerce or agreements related to the Company's "net branches"; and (xii) any other material contract or commitment.

Each such Contract is a valid and binding agreement of the Company or one of its subsidiaries in accordance with its terms, and is in full force and effect (except as set forth in Section 3.16 of the Company Disclosure Schedule), except where the failure to be valid and binding and in full force and effect would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in default with respect to any such Contract, nor (to the Company's Knowledge) does any condition exist that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default thereunder or permit any other party thereto to terminate such Contract, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's Knowledge, no other party to any such Contract is in default in any respect with respect to any such Contract, which would have a Material Adverse Effect. No party has given any written notice (i) of termination or cancellation of any such Contract or (ii) that it intends to assert a breach of any such Contract, whether as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, which would have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Contract identified in Section 3.16 of the Company Disclosure Schedule in response to any item under this Section 3.16 shall be deemed incorporated by reference to all other items in this Section 3.16.
