No payment shall be made pursuant to the preceding sentence in respect of the employer contributions that would have been credited to the Executive and would have vested under a 401(k) plan unless the Executive made the maximum elective deferrals under Section 402(g) of the Code or the maximum elective contributions permitted under the terms of the 401(k) plan in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, immediately prior to the Change in Control, in the year in which the Date of Termination occurs (or in such portion of such year as will result in the payment being not treated as contingent pursuant to the second sentence of Treasury Regulation 1.401(k)-1(e)(6)(iii)) or, if the 401(k) plan in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Change in Control was more favorable to the Executive than the 401(k) plan in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination, in the year in which the Change in Control occurred. The preceding sentence is intended to apply only if and to the extent the preceding sentence is necessary to comply with the contingent benefit rule set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(e)(6), and it shall be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly.
