Any claim asserting entitlement to a benefit under the Plan must be asserted within ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim by sending written notice of the claim to the Claims Administrator. The written notice of the claim must be accompanied by any and all documents, materials, or other evidence allegedly supporting the claim for benefits.

Employee Benefit Plans. Holdings, the Borrower and each other Restricted Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and has performed all its obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan, except where such failure to comply or perform, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments) with respect to any Pension Plan has been or is expected to be incurred by Holdings, the Borrower, any other Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, alone or together with any other ERISA Events that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan by an amount that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Holdings, the Borrower, the other Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of [Section 4203] of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Holdings, the Borrower, each other Restricted Subsidiary and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates has complied with the requirements of [Section 515] of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and is not in material “default” (as defined in [Section 4219(c)(5)] of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan, except where such failure to comply or such default, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Employee Benefit Plans. Other than as set forth on [Schedule 3.21]: # there are no “employee pension benefit plans” (within the meaning of [Section 3(2)(A)] of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) (collectively, the “Pension Plans”) maintained by the Company; and # the Company does not have any policies or plans, whether written or not, that provide for vacation benefits, severance benefits, leave rights or other benefits to its employees. There are no outstanding liabilities of the Company to the Pension Plans, and the Company knows of no potential liabilities in connection therewith. There are no actions, suits or claims, other than for benefits in the normal course, pending or to the knowledge of the Company threatened, and the Company has no knowledge of any facts which could give rise to any actions, suits or claims, against any of the Pension Plans, or against the Company which might subject the Company to any material liability.
