Actual Contribution Percentage Test. (a) In general. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1986, Nondeductible Employee Contributions and Matching Contributions shall satisfy the tests defined in Code section 401(m), and sections 1.401(m)-1(b)(1) and 1.401(m)-2 of the Regulations, which are hereby incorporated by reference. For purposes of Sections 3.09 and 3.10 only, Matching Contribution means any Employer Contribution made to the Plan on account of a Salary Deferral Contribution made to the Plan, and any Forfeiture directly or indirectly allocated on the basis of Salary Deferral Contributions or Matching Contributions. The tests are as follows. (1) The Actual Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Participant Group shall not exceed the greater of: (A) 125% of such percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for the preceding Plan Year, or (B) the lesser of 200% of such percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for the preceding Plan Year, or such percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the preceding Plan Year plus two (2) percentage points. The Employer may elect to use Current Year Testing rather than Prior Year Testing except that if the Current Year Testing election is made, it may not be changed unless the Employer satisfies the requirements for changing to Prior Year Testing as set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 98-1 (or its subsequent modification), or as provided by the Internal Revenue Service. In the case of a Plan's first Plan Year (other than a successor plan), the amount taken into account as the Actual Contribution Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for the Prior Year Testing shall be 3%, unless the Employer elects to use Current Year Testing and, therefore, uses the Actual Contribution Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group during the first Plan Year.
