(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).

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.
