ERISA; Benefit Plans Schedule 5.13 sets forth a list of all material deferred compensation, profit-sharing, retirement and pension plans and all material bonus and other material employee benefit or fringe benefit plans maintained, or with respect to which contributions have been made, by Seller with respect to current or former employees employed in connection with the power generation operations of the Generating Plants and the Gas Turbines (collectively, "Benefit Plans"). Seller and each trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which are or have ever been under common control, or which are or have ever been treated as a single employer, with Seller under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (an "ERISA Affiliate") have fulfilled their respective obligations under the minimum funding requirements of Section 302 of ERISA, and Section 412 of the Code, with respect to each Benefit Plan which is an "employee pension benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA and each such plan is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except for such failures to fulfill such obligations or comply with such provisions which would not, individually or in the aggregate, create a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under Section 4062(b) of ERISA, or any withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA, to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in connection with any Benefit Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA which liability remains outstanding, and there has not been any reportable event (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) with respect to any such Benefit Plan (other than a reportable event with respect to which the 30-day notice requirement has been waived by the PBGC). Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate or parent corporation, within the meaning of Section 4069(b) or Section 4212(c) of ERISA, has engaged in any transaction, within the meaning of Section 4069(b) or Section 4212(c)
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.
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.
Catch-Up Contributions In the case of a Traditional IRA Owner who is age 50 or older by the close of the taxable year, the annual cash contribution limit is increased by $1,000 for any taxable year beginning in 2006 and years thereafter.
Retirement Contributions On behalf of employees, the State will continue to “pick up” the six percent (6%) employee contribution, payable pursuant to law. The parties acknowledge that various challenges have been filed that contest the lawfulness, including the constitutionality, of various aspects of PERS reform legislation enacted by the 2003 Legislative Assembly, including Chapters 67 (HB 2003) and 68 (HB 2004) of Oregon Laws 2003 (“PERS Litigation”). Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any party’s rights, claims or defenses with respect to the PERS Litigation.
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.
Matching Contributions The Employer will make matching contributions in accordance with the formula(s) elected in Part II of this Adoption Agreement Section 3.01.
Pension Contributions While on leave pursuant to Section B. of this Article, an employee may make contributions to the appropriate State pension system and will receive service credit for the time the employee is on unpaid leave.
