The group of plans that are permitted to be aggregated (the "permissive aggregation group") includes the required aggregation group plus one or more plans of a Considered Company that is not part of the required aggregation group and that the Considered Company certifies as a plan within the permissive aggregation group. Such plan or plans may be added to the permissive aggregation group only if, after the addition, the aggregation group as a whole continues not to discriminate as to contributions or benefits in favor of officers, shareholders or the highly compensated and to meet the minimum participation standards under the Code.

Permissive Aggregation Group – The required aggregation group of plans plus any other plan or plans of the employer that, when considered as a group with the required aggregation group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410.

if the "top-heavy ratio" for this Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and this Plan is not part of any "required aggregation group" or "permissive aggregation group";

"Top-Heavy Group" means the Aggregation Group, if as of the applicable Determination Date, the sum of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans included in the Aggregation Group plus the aggregate of the accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans included in the Aggregation Group exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the sum of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for all employees, excluding former Key Employees as provided in paragraph # below, under all such defined benefit plans, plus the aggregate accounts for all employees, excluding former Key Employees as provided in paragraph # below, under all such defined contribution plans. In determining Top-Heavy status, if an individual has not performed one (1) Hour of Service for any Considered Company at any time during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date, any accrued benefit for such individual and the aggregate accounts of such individual shall not be taken into account. If the Aggregation Group that is a Top-Heavy Group is a required aggregation group, each plan in the group will be a Top-Heavy Plan. If the Aggregation Group that is a Top-Heavy Group is a permissive aggregation group, only those plans that are part of the required aggregation group will be treated as Top-Heavy Plans. If the Aggregation Group is not a Top-Heavy Group, no plan within such group will be a Top-Heavy Plan.

However, for any Plan Year when # the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan and # a Key Employee is a Participant in both this Plan and a defined benefit plan included in a Required Aggregation Group which is top-heavy, four percent (4%) shall be substituted for three percent (3%) in the paragraph above.

Required Aggregation Group – # Each qualified plan of the employer in which at least one key employee participates or participated at any time during the determination period (regardless of whether the plan has terminated), and # any other qualified plan of the employer that enables a plan described in # to meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) or 410.

Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, this Article 18 shall apply to any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan. The Plan shall be considered a “Top-Heavy Plan” for a Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date for such Plan Year, the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent.

Awardee understands that the Company’s Confidential Information includes not only the individual categories of information identified in this Section, but also the compilation and/or aggregation of the Company’s information, which is and has been compiled/aggregated via significant effort and expense and which has value to the Company and to the Company’s employees as used in furtherance of the Company’s business.

Required Aggregation Group means a group of plans consisting of # each plan of the Affiliated Companies in which a Key Employee participates during the plan year containing the Determination Date for such plan and # any other plan of the Affiliated Companies that enables any of such plans to satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410. Benefits under such plans shall be aggregated by adding together the present values of the accrued benefits (determined separately for such plan as of each plan’s Determination Date) and adding together the results for each plan as of the Determination Dates for such plans that fall within the same calendar year. If an Aggregation Group includes two or more defined benefit plans, the same actuarial assumptions will be used with respect to all such plans in accordance with IRS Regulation 1.416-1, T-26.

Contributions considered under the first paragraph of this Section 11.3 will include Employer contributions under this Plan and under all other defined contribution plans required to be included in an Aggregation Group (as defined in [Section 11.7] below), but will not include Employer contributions under any plan required to be included in such aggregation group if the plan enables a defined benefit plan required to be included in such group to meet the requirements of the Code # prohibiting discrimination as to contributions in favor of employees who are officers, shareholders, or the highly compensated or # prescribing the minimum participation standards. If the highest rate allocated to a Key Employee for a year in which the Plan is top heavy is less than three percent (3%), amounts contributed as a result of a salary reduction agreement must be included in determining contributions made on behalf of Key Employees.
