TOP HEAVY PROVISIONS
Section 5. Top Heavy Vesting.
Notwithstanding the vesting provisions provided elsewhere in the Plan, for any
Top Heavy Plan Year, a terminated Participant shall have a vested interest in his
Accrued Benefit based on at least the following minimum schedule:
Years of Service |
Nonforfeiture Percentage |
2 |
20% |
3 |
40 |
4 |
60 |
5 |
80 |
6 or more |

If, in any subsequent Plan Year, the Plan ceases to be a Top Heavy Plan, the
Board may elect to (1) continue to apply this vesting schedule in determining the
Vested portion of any Participant's Accrued Retirement Income, or (2) revert to
the vesting schedule in effect before this Plan became a Top Heavy Plan. Any
such reversion shall be treated as a Plan amendment pursuant to the provisions of Article XI.
Section 6. Adjustment in Section 415 Limits for Top Heavy Plan Year.
In any Top Heavy Plan Year, the denominators of the defined benefit and defined
contribution fractions as described in Internal Revenue Code Section 415(e) are
computed by substituting the factor 1.0 for 1.25.
For Limitation Years beginning on or after January 1, 2000, the 1.0 fraction
limitation of Section 415(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and those provisions
reflecting Section 416(h) of the Internal Revenue Code are hereby deleted from
the Plan.
