Defined Contribution Plan A retirement plan which provides for an individual account for each participant and for benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the participant's account, and any income, expenses, gains and losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other participants which the plan may allocate to such participant's account. The Advisory Committee must treat all defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer as a single plan. Solely for purposes of the limitations of Part 2 of this Article III, the Advisory Committee will treat employee contributions made to a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer as a separate defined contribution plan. The Advisory Committee also will treat as a defined contribution plan an individual medical account (as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2)) included as part of a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 1985, a welfare benefit fund under Code Section 419(e) maintained by the Employer to the extent there are post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3)).

Parent Benefit Plans has the meaning set forth in Section 5.07(b).
Defined Contribution Plan Fraction for a Limitation Year shall mean a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of the Participant's Annual Additions under all defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer for the current year and all prior Limitation Years (including annual additions attributable to the Participant's nondeductible employee contributions to all defined benefit plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer), and (B) the denominator of which is the sum of the maximum aggregate amounts for the current year and all prior Limitation Years with the Employer (regardless of whether a defined contribution plan was maintained by the Employer). "Maximum aggregate amounts" shall mean the lesser of (I) the product of 1.25 (or such adjustment as required under Section 12.4) and the dollar limitation in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code, adjusted as prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 415(d) of the Code, or (II) the product of 1.4 and the amount that may be taken into account under Section 415(c)(1)(B) of the Code; provided, however, that the Committee may elect, on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, to apply the special transition rule of Section 415(e)(7) of the Code applicable to Limitation Years ending before January 1, 1983 in determining the denominator of the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction. If the Employee was a Participant as of the end of the first day of the first Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986, in one or more defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the numerator of this fraction will be adjusted if the sum of this fraction and the defined benefit fraction would otherwise exceed 1.0 under the terms of this Plan. Under the adjustment, an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of the sum of the fractions over 1.0 times (2) the denominator of this fraction, will be permanently subtracted from the numerator of this fraction. The adjustment is calculated using the fractions as they would be computed as of the end of the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987, and disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the Plan made after May 5, 1986, but using the Section 415 limitation applicable to the first Limitation Year beginning on or after January 1, 1987. The annual addition for any Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987, shall not be recomputed to treat all Employee contributions as Annual Additions.
Multi-employer Plan means a multi-employer plan, as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is making or accruing an obligation to make contributions or has within any of the preceding five plan years made or accrued an obligation to make contributions.
