  • Contributing Party has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02.

  • Defined Contribution Fraction means a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant's Account under all the defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer for the current and all prior Limitation Years (including the Annual Additions attributable to the Participant's nondeductible Voluntary Contributions to all defined benefit plans, whether or not terminated, maintained by the Employer and the Annual Additions attributable to all welfare benefit funds, as defined in section 419(e) of the Code, and individual medical benefit accounts as defined in section 415(l)(2) of the Code, and simplified employee pensions, maintained by the Employer) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Maximum Aggregate Amounts for the current and all prior Limitation Years of Service with the Employer (regardless of whether a defined contribution plan was maintained by the Employer). The Maximum Aggregate Amount in any Limitation Year is the lesser of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the dollar limitation in effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code or thirty-five percent (35%) of the Participant's Compensation for such year. 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 one (1.0) under the terms of this Plan. Under the adjustment, an amount equal to the product of (A) the excess of the sum of the fractions over one (1.0) times (B) the denominator of this fraction, will be permanently subtracted from the numerator of this fraction. The adjustment is calculated 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 Additions for any Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987 shall not be recomputed to treat all Employee contributions as Annual Additions.
