Employee Benefits Plans Schedule 3.10 hereto identifies each ERISA Plan and Multiemployer Plan as of the Effective Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur. With respect to any Pension Plan, no accumulated funding deficiency exists for which there would be an excise tax under Code Section 4971. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally 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, in each case, except for noncompliances that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any Pension Plan (other than the Computervision 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, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets.

Other than as disclosed in Parent's Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed prior to the date hereof with the SEC in respect of an exchange offer of Western Resources, Inc. (the "Schedule 14D-9"), there have been no material changes to the compensation of Parent's executive officers since September 30, 1996. All related payroll expenses and any accelerated pension benefits of Parent and any of its subsidiaries under severance agreements with former employees, directors and officers of Parent or any of its subsidiaries have been fully accrued in the 1996 Financial Statements.

The Defined Benefit Plans have no accumulated or waived funding deficiencies within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code nor have any extensions of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or 302 of ERISA been applied for with respect thereto. The present value of the benefit liabilities (within the meaning of Section 4041 of ERISA) of the Defined Benefit Plans, determined on a termination basis using actuarial assumptions that would be used by the PBGC does not exceed by more than $1,000,000 the value of the Plans' assets.

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.

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.
