There are no unfunded obligations of the Seller under any retirement, pension, profit-sharing, deferred compensation plan or similar program, and any employee contributions withheld from payroll have been timely and fully contributed to the appropriate Employee Benefit Plan as required under applicable Law.  The Seller is not required to make any payments or contributions to any Employee Benefit Plan pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement or any applicable labor relations Law.  The Seller does not maintain or contribute to and, to each of the Seller Parties’ knowledge, has never maintained or contributed to any Employee Benefit Plan providing or promising any health or other nonpension benefits to terminated employees (other than continuation coverage, at the maximum applicable premium permitted to be charged by the Seller, required under Section 4980B of the Code, or Section 601 of the ERISA).

 

(g)                                  Any “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as such term is defined under Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and the guidance thereunder) under which the Seller is obligated to make or promises to make, payments (each, a “409A Plan”) complies in all material respects, in both form and operation, with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance thereunder. To the knowledge of the Seller Parties, no payment to be made under any 409A Plan is, or will be, subject to the penalties of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.
