COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA. (a) The only ERISA retirement plans maintained by the Company are a defined contribution profit-sharing plan with a Code ss.401(k) feature (the "RETIREMENT PLAN") and a flexible spending plan. Each of the Retirement Plan and such flexible spending plan meets the requirements for qualification under Code ss.401 and any related trust in respect of such Retirement Plan or such flexible spending plan is exempt from taxation under Code ss.501(a). The Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to the tax qualified status of the Retirement Plan and has not taken any action to revoke such letter. The Company has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it under the Retirement Plan and such flexible spending plan and is in substantial compliance with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes or regulations applicable to the Retirement Plan and such flexible spending plan. There are no suits or material disputed claims pending against the Retirement Plan and such flexible spending plan. As of the date of Restatement Closing, the Company has made all required employer contributions (salary deferrals, matching contributions or other employer contributions) to the Retirement Plan and such flexible spending plan. (b) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever been an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan. (c) The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Company's most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not Material. (d) The execution and delivery of the Financing Documents and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. 4.13. MARGIN REGULATIONS. Margin stock does not constitute more than 1% of consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 1% of Consolidated Assets. As used in this Section, the term "MARGIN STOCK" shall have the meaning assigned to it in Regulation U. 4.14. EXISTING DEBT; FUTURE LIENS. (a) Except as described therein, SCHEDULE 4.14 sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of the Restatement Closing, after giving effect to the transactions to occur on such date (and specifying, as to each issue of Debt, the collateral, if any, securing such Debt). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default, and no 8 15 waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. (b) Except as disclosed in SCHEDULE 4.14, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 4.15.

Except as otherwise disclosed to you in writing, (a) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim, public or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their use, except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (b) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them and has not disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws in each case in any manner that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) all buildings on all real properties now owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, except where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 4.18.
