or PSS contributes or has ever contributed, or under which
any employee or former employee, officer or former officer,

plan pursuant to which any benefit is or shall be provided to
an employee, former employee or retired employee whether

maintains nor has entered into any Benefit Plan or other
document, plan or agreement which contains any change in

of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
related action thereafter. Each of such plans that is an

plan either has obtained a favorable determination letter
with respect to such amendment or the remedial amendment
period for such amendment under Section 401(b) of the Code
has not expired. Preferred and PSS have not participated in
any conduct that could result in the imposition upon
Preferred, PSS or Netplex of a material civil liability under
section 502(i) of ERISA. None of the employee benefit plans
provide for retiree medical or retiree life insurance
benefits for former employees of Preferred or PSS.
2. Except as set forth in the Schedule 8.q, all accrued
contributions and other payments to be made by Preferred or
PSS to any Benefit Plan through the date of the latest
balance sheet have been made or reserves adequate for such
purposes as of the date of the latest balance sheet have been
set aside therefor and reflected on the latest balance sheet.
Preferred or PSS is not in material default in performing any
of its contractual obligations under any of the Benefit Plans
or any related trust agreement or insurance contract, and
there are no material outstanding liabilities of any Benefit
Plan other than liabilities for benefits to be paid to
participants in such Benefit Plan.
3. There is no pending litigation or threatened litigation or
pending claim (other than benefit claims made in the ordinary
course) by or on behalf of or against any of the Benefit
Plans (or with respect to the administration of any of the
Benefit Plans) now or heretofore maintained by Preferred or
PSS which allege violations of applicable state or federal
law.
9
4. Each Benefit Plan is and has been in compliance in all
material respects with, and each such Plan is and has been
materially operated in accordance with, the applicable laws;
rules and regulations governing such Plan, including, without
limitation, the rules and regulations promulgated by the
Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
("PBGC") and the IRS under ERISA, the Code or any other
applicable law.
5. Neither Preferred or PSS nor any trade or business (whether
or not incorporated) that is or has ever been under common
control, or that is or has ever been treated as a single
employer, the Preferred or PSS under Section 414(b), (c), (m)
or (o) of the Code (each an "ERISA Affiliate") maintains
retiree life or retiree health insurance plans that are
"welfare benefit plans" within the meaning of Section 3 of
ERISA and that provide for continuing benefits or coverage
for any participant or any beneficiary of any participant
except as may be required under the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA") or at
the sole expense of the participant or any participant's
beneficiary. Each of Preferred, PSS and any ERISA affiliate
that maintains a "group health plan" within the meaning of
Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code has complied in all respects
with the notice and continuation requirements of Sections
4980B of the Code, COBRA, Part 6 of Subtitle I of ERISA and
the regulations thereunder.
6. Preferred or PSS does not maintain nor has it ever
maintained, does not contribute nor has it ever contributed
to nor is it nor has it ever been obligated to contribute to,
any Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA. No condition
exists that presents a material risk to Preferred or PSS of
incurring a liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to
Benefit Plans, other than liability for premiums due to the
PBGC. The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate
any of the ERISA Plans and no condition known to Preferred or
PSS or Preferred or PSS exists that presents a material risk
that such proceedings shall be instituted. All reporting and
disclosure requirements of ERISA and the Code have been
satisfied in all material respects with respect to each of
the Benefit Plans. Preferred or PSS is not required to
contribute to an employee benefit plan that is a
"multi-employer plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of
ERISA nor has been so required during the five year period
ending on the Closing Date.
7. Preferred or PSS does not maintain nor has it ever
maintained, does not contribute to nor has it ever
contributed to nor is it nor has it ever been obligated to
contribute to, any Benefit Plan subject to the requirements
of Section 412 of the Code. No prohibited transaction has
occurred with respect to any Benefit Plan that would result,
directly or indirectly, in the imposition of any excise tax
under Section 495 of the Code; nor has any reportable event
under Section 4043 of ERISA occurred with respect to any
Benefit Plan.
