Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, Executive and Executive’s family shall be eligible for participation in, and shall be eligible to receive all benefits under, the welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company, including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs on the same basis as similarly situated executives of the Company (the “Welfare Plans”).

Benefit Plans. Except as would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company Group, considered as one enterprise, all Benefit Plans have been operated, maintained, funded and administered in compliance in all material respects with their respective terms and all applicable laws, including ERISA and the Code, and no Benefit Plan has any unfunded or underfunded liabilities. There are no pending, or to the knowledge of the Company Group, threatened material claims by or on behalf of any Benefit Plan, by any employee or beneficiary covered under any such Benefit Plan, or otherwise involving any such Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits). No member of the Company Group nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates sponsors, maintains, contributes to or has any liability, contingent or otherwise, with respect to, or has ever sponsored, maintained, contributed to or had any liability, contingent or otherwise, with respect to, any defined benefit pension plan subject to Title IV or [Section 302] of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in [Section 4001(a)(3)] of ERISA) or a “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 412(c) of the Code). No member of the Company Group has any liability, contingent or otherwise, to provide any post-retirement life, health or welfare benefits, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or similar applicable state laws. No Benefit Plan is a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A of the Code. Each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is the subject of a favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service as to such qualification and, to the knowledge of the Company Group, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such qualification. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (whether alone or in conjunction with a subsequent event) will entitle any employee or other service provider of the Company Group to any compensatory payment or benefit, increase the amount of any compensatory payment or benefit, accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in the funding of any compensatory payment or benefit, or result in any loan forgiveness. No member of the Company Group has any obligation to pay any tax gross-up or similar payments.

Benefit Plans. The Company is not a party to any benefit plan under which the Company currently has an obligation to provide benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company.

Benefit Plans. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in all retirement and employment benefit plans and programs of the Company that are generally available to senior executives of the Company. Executive may also receive long term incentive grants pursuant to the Company’s long-term incentive program(s). Such participation shall be pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plans and programs, as the same shall be amended from time to time. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Executive shall be entitled to receive relocation benefits consistent with the Company’s policy in effect from time to time with adjustments as approved by a representative of the Compensation Committee.

Retirement and Welfare Plans. Neither the grant of Options nor the issuance of Shares may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s retirement plans (both qualified and nonqualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit.

Terminability of Welfare Plans. Under each Employee Benefit Plan sponsored by the ​ or ​ or their respective Subsidiaries which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, no benefits are due unless the event giving rise to the benefit entitlement occurs prior to plan termination (except as required by Title I, Part 6 of ERISA). The ​ and its Subsidiaries may terminate their respective participation in, and ​ may terminate each such plan at any time (other than a plan that provides benefits pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement) in the discretion of either the ​ or ​ or their Subsidiaries without liability to any Person.

Payment of Welfare Plans. Pay, and cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to pay, the aggregate annualized cost (including, without limitation, the cost of insurance premiums) with respect to post-retirement benefits under Welfare Plans for which the Company and its Material Subsidiaries are liable.

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.

All Awards shall constitute a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Participant for the purpose of determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or under any agreement between the Company and the Participant, unless such plan or agreement specifically provides otherwise.
