However, if the Participant was a participant as of the first day of the first Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986, in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer which were in existence on May 6, 1986 then the denominator of the Defined Benefit Fraction shall not be less than 125 percent of the Participant's total accrued benefit as of the close of the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987, disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the plan after May 5, 1986, under all such defined benefit plans that met, individually and in the aggregate, the requirements of Section 415 of the Code for all Limitation Years beginning before January 1, 1987.
