Employer Rights 3.1 The Employer retains the right to operate and manage all manpower, facilities, and equipment; to establish functions and programs; to set and amend budgets; to determine the utilization of technology; to establish and modify the organizational structure; to select, direct, and determine the number of personnel; and to perform any inherent managerial function not specifically limited by this Agreement.
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.

Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions The Borrower is not an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Credit Extensions hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Not Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transactions None of the assets of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary constitutes “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder. Assuming that no Lender funds any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term is defined in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the extensions of credit and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.
