DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS The Advisory Committee will determine excess aggregate contributions after determining excess deferrals under Section 14.07 and excess contributions under Section 14.08. If the Advisory Committee determines the Plan fails to satisfy the ACP test for a Plan Year, it must distribute the excess aggregate contributions, as adjusted for allocable income, during the next Plan Year. However, the Employer will incur an excise tax equal to 10% of the amount of excess aggregate contributions for a Plan Year not distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Employees during the first 2 1/2 months of that next Plan Year. The excess aggregate contributions are the amount of aggregate contributions allocated on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees which causes the Plan to fail to satisfy the ACP test. The Advisory Committee will distribute to each Highly Compensated Employee his respective share of the excess aggregate contributions. The Advisory Committee will determine the respective shares of excess aggregate contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who has the greatest contribution percentage, reducing his contribution percentage (but not below the next highest contribution percentage), then, if necessary, reducing the contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) at the next highest contribution percentage level (including the contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) whose contribution percentage the Advisory Committee already has reduced), and continuing in this manner until the ACP for the Highly Compensated Group satisfies the ACP test. If the Highly Compensated Employee is part of an aggregated family group, the Advisory Committee, in accordance with the applicable Treasury regulations, will determine each aggregated family member's allocable share of the excess aggregate contributions assigned to the family unit.
Employer Contributions If Employer contributions are permitted, complete (a) and/or (b). Otherwise complete (c).
Catch-Up Contributions Unless otherwise elected in Section 2.4 of this amendment, all employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the plan implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions.
Qualified Matching Contributions If selected below, the Employer may make Qualified Matching Contributions for each Plan Year (select all those applicable):
Qualified Nonelective Contributions If the Employer, at the time of contribution, designates a contribution to be a qualified nonelective contribution for the Plan Year, the Advisory Committee will allocate that qualified nonelective contribution to the Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account of each Participant eligible for an allocation of that designated contribution, as specified in Section 3.04 of the Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Advisory Committee will make the allocation to each eligible Participant's Account in the same ratio that the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all eligible Participants for the Plan Year. The Advisory Committee will determine a Participant's Compensation in accordance with the general definition of Compensation under Section 1.12 of the Plan, as modified by the Employer in Sections 1.12 and 3.06 of its Adoption Agreement.
Matching Contributions The Employer will make matching contributions in accordance with the formula(s) elected in Part II of this Adoption Agreement Section 3.01.
EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS [X] (a) Participants shall be permitted to make Elective Deferrals in any amount from 1 % up to 15 % of their Compensation. If (a) is applicable, Participants shall be permitted to amend their Salary Savings Agreements to change the contribution percentage as provided below:
DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS The Advisory Committee will allocate to each Participant's Deferral Contributions Account the amount of Deferral Contributions the Employer makes to the Trust on behalf of the Participant. The Advisory Committee will make this allocation as of the last day of each Plan Year unless, in Adoption Agreement Section 3.04, the Employer elects more frequent allocation dates for salary reduction contributions.
PARTICIPANT NONDEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS The Plan: (Choose (a) or (b); (c) is available only with (b)) [X] (a) Does not permit Participant nondeductible contributions. [ ] (b) Permits Participant nondeductible contributions, pursuant to Section 14.04 of the Plan.
