WKSI Status (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Act) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163, and (D) at the Applicable Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (D)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405.
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.
