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)
Health and Welfare Benefit Plans During the Employment Period, Executive and Executive’s immediate family shall be entitled to participate in such health and welfare benefit plans as the Employer shall maintain from time to time for the benefit of senior executive officers of the Employer and their families, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such plan. Nothing in this Section shall limit the Employer’s right to change or modify or terminate any benefit plan or program as it sees fit from time to time in the normal course of business so long as it does so for all senior executives of the Employer.
Benefit Limit In the event that any payments or benefits to which Employee becomes entitled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (or any other agreement with the Company or any other corporation or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company) would otherwise constitute a parachute payment under Code Section 280G(b)(2), then such payments and/or benefits will be subject to reduction to the extent necessary to assure that Employee receives only the greater of (i) the amount of those payments which would not constitute such a parachute payment or (ii) the amount which yields Employee the greatest after-tax amount of benefits after taking into account any excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 on the payments and benefits provided Employee under this Agreement (or on any other payments or benefits to which Employee may become entitled in connection with any change in control or ownership of the Company or the subsequent termination of his employment with the Company). The benefit limits of this paragraph shall be calculated as of the date on which the event triggering any parachute payment is effected, and such calculation shall be completed within thirty (30) days after such effective date. Should the completed calculations require a reduction in benefits in order to satisfy the benefit limit of this paragraph, then the portion of any parachute payment otherwise payable in cash to Employee shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with such benefit limit, with each such cash payment to be reduced pro-rata but without any change in the payment dates, and with the cash severance payments detailed herein to be the first and then the benefit payments to be the next such payments so reduced. Should such benefit limit still be exceeded following such reduction, then the number of shares which would otherwise vest on an accelerated basis under each of Employee’s outstanding equity awards shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess, with such reduction to be applied to such equity awards in the same chronological order in which those awards were made.

(iii) neither any Plan nor any trust created thereunder, nor to the knowledge of each Credit Party any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a prohibited transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject the Credit Parties or ERISA Affiliates to any material tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed under said Section 4975 or Section 502(i) of ERISA; and no Credit Party nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has received any notice that any Multiemployer Plan or trust created thereunder, or any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in any such prohibited transaction, except for transactions that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) no liability has been incurred and is outstanding with respect to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of the complete or partial withdrawal by any Credit Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates from such Multiemployer Plan under Title IV of ERISA, nor has any Credit Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates been notified by any Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is currently in reorganization or insolvency under and within the meaning of Section 4241 or 4245 of ERISA or that such Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA, except for such non-compliances that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

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.
