Such values shall be determined for any Plan Year as of the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year. The account balances on any determination date shall include the aggregate distributions made with respect to Participants under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period ending on such determination date; provided, that in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period.” For the purposes of this definition, the aggregate account balances for any Plan Year shall include the account balances and accrued benefits of all retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with which this Plan is required to be aggregated to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code (including terminated plans that would have been required to be aggregated with this Plan) and all plans of an Employer or an Affiliate in which a Key Employee participates; and such term may include (at the discretion of the Plan Administrator) any other retirement plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code that is maintained by an Employer or an Affiliate, provided the resulting aggregation group satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 410 of the Code.

The determination of whether the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan shall be made after aggregating all other plans of an Employer and any Affiliated Company qualifying under Code Section 401(a) in which a Key Employee is a participant or which enables such a plan to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410, and after aggregating any other plan of an Employer or Affiliated Company, which is not already aggregated, if such aggregation group would continue to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 and if such permissive aggregation thereby eliminates the top-heavy status of any plan within such permissive aggregation group.
