Distribution of Excess Contributions If the Advisory Committee determines the Plan fails to satisfy the ADP test for a Plan Year, it must distribute the excess contributions, as adjusted for allocable income, during the next Plan Year. However, the Employer will incur an excise tax equal to 10% of the amount of excess contributions for a Plan Year not distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Employees during the first 2 1/2 months of that next Plan Year. The excess contributions are the amount of deferral contributions made by the Highly Compensated Employees which causes the Plan to fail to satisfy the ADP test. The Advisory Committee will distribute to each Highly Compensated Employee his respective share of the excess contributions. The Advisory Committee will determine the respective shares of excess contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who has the greatest ADP, reducing his ADP (but not below the next highest ADP), then, if necessary, reducing the ADP of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) at the next highest ADP level (including the ADP of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) whose ADP the Advisory Committee already has reduced), and continuing in this manner until the average ADP for the Highly Compensated Group satisfies the ADP test. If the Highly Compensated Employee is part of an aggregated family group, the Advisory Committee, in accordance with the applicable Treasury regulations, will determine each aggregated family member's allocable share of the excess contributions assigned to the family unit.
DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS The Advisory Committee will determine excess aggregate contributions after determining excess deferrals under Section 14.07 and excess contributions under Section 14.08. If the Advisory Committee determines the Plan fails to satisfy the ACP test for a Plan Year, it must distribute the excess aggregate contributions, as adjusted for allocable income, during the next Plan Year. However, the Employer will incur an excise tax equal to 10% of the amount of excess aggregate contributions for a Plan Year not distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Employees during the first 2 1/2 months of that next Plan Year. The excess aggregate contributions are the amount of aggregate contributions allocated on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees which causes the Plan to fail to satisfy the ACP test. The Advisory Committee will distribute to each Highly Compensated Employee his respective share of the excess aggregate contributions. The Advisory Committee will determine the respective shares of excess aggregate contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who has the greatest contribution percentage, reducing his contribution percentage (but not below the next highest contribution percentage), then, if necessary, reducing the contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) at the next highest contribution percentage level (including the contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) whose contribution percentage the Advisory Committee already has reduced), and continuing in this manner until the ACP for the Highly Compensated Group satisfies the ACP test. If the Highly Compensated Employee is part of an aggregated family group, the Advisory Committee, in accordance with the applicable Treasury regulations, will determine each aggregated family member's allocable share of the excess aggregate contributions assigned to the family unit.
Determination of Excise Tax Liability Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, the Company will select a professional services firm (the “Firm”) to make all determinations required under this Section 6, which determinations will be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm reasonably may request in order to make determinations under this Section 6. The Company will bear the costs and make all payments for the Firm’s services in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6. The Company will have no liability to the Executive for the determinations of the Firm.
DETERMINATION OF TOP HEAVY STATUS If this Plan is the only qualified plan maintained by the Employer, the Plan is top heavy for a Plan Year if the top heavy ratio as of the Determination Date exceeds 60%. The top heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of Accrued Benefits of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date and the denominator of which is a similar sum determined for all Employees. The Advisory Committee must include in the top heavy ratio, as part of the present value of Accrued Benefits, any contribution not made as of the Determination Date but includible under Code Section 416 and the applicable Treasury regulations, and distributions made within the Determination Period. The Advisory Committee must calculate the top heavy ratio by disregarding the Accrued Benefit (and distributions, if any, of the Accrued Benefit) of any Non-Key Employee who was formerly a Key Employee, and by disregarding the Accrued Benefit (including distributions, if any, of the Accrued Benefit) of an individual who has not received credit for at least one Hour of Service with the Employer during the Determination Period. The Advisory Committee must calculate the top heavy ratio, including the extent to which it must take into account distributions, rollovers and transfers, in accordance with Code Section 416 and the regulations under that Code section. If the Employer maintains other qualified plans (including a simplified employee pension plan), or maintained another such plan which now is terminated, this Plan is top heavy only if it is part of the Required Aggregation Group, and the top heavy ratio for the Required Aggregation Group and for the Permissive Aggregation Group, if any, each exceeds 60%. The Advisory Committee will calculate the top heavy ratio in the same manner as required by the first paragraph of this Section 1.33, taking into account all plans within the Aggregation Group. To the extent the Advisory Committee must take into account distributions to a Participant, the Advisory Committee must include distributions from a terminated plan which would have been part of the Required Aggregation Group if it were in existence on the Determination Date. The Advisory Committee will calculate the present value of accrued benefits under defined benefit plans or simplified employee pension plans included within the group in accordance with the terms of those plans, Code Section 416 and the regulations under that Code section. If a Participant in a defined benefit plan is a Non-Key Employee, the Advisory Committee will determine his accrued benefit under the accrual method, if any, which is applicable uniformly to all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer or, if there is no uniform method, in accordance with the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule accrual method described in Code Section 411(b)(1)(C). If the Employer maintains a defined benefit plan, the Employer must specify in Adoption Agreement Section 3.18 the actuarial assumptions (interest and mortality only) the Advisory Committee will use to calculate the present value of benefits from a defined benefit plan. If an aggregated plan does not have a valuation date coinciding with the Determination Date, the Advisory Committee must value the Accrued Benefits in the aggregated plan as of the most recent valuation date falling within the twelve-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as Code Section 416 and applicable Treasury regulations require for the first and second plan year of a defined benefit plan. The Advisory Committee will calculate the top heavy ratio with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.

Catch-Up Contributions Unless otherwise elected in Section 2.4 of this amendment, all employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the plan implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions.
