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.
ERISA; Benefit Plans Each Borrower will comply with all requirements of ERISA applicable to it and will not materially increase its liabilities under or violate the terms of any present or future benefit plans maintained by it without the prior approval of the Agent. Each Borrower will furnish to the Agent as soon as possible and in any event within 10 days after the Borrower or a duly appointed administrator of a plan (as defined in ERISA) knows or has reason to know that any reportable event, funding deficiency, or prohibited transaction (as defined in ERISA) with respect to any plan has occurred, a statement of the chief financial officer of such Borrower describing in reasonable detail such reportable event, funding deficiency, or prohibited transaction and any action which such Borrower proposes to take with respect thereof, together with a copy of the notice of such event given to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or the Internal Revenue Service or a statement that said notice will be filed with the annual report of the United States Department of Labor with respect to such plan if such filing has been authorized.
Benefit Plan If an employee maintains coverage for benefit plans while on maternity or parental leave, the Employer agrees to pay the Employer's share of these premiums.

(g) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, either alone or in combination with another event, result in any “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code. No Company Benefit Plan provides for, and the Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any obligation to make, a Tax gross-up, make whole or similar payment with respect to any Taxes, including any Taxes imposed under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code.
