(B) qualified matching contributions that are taken into account in the Actual Deferral Percentage test; and

(2) any Elective Deferrals permitted to be taken into account for these purposes under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6) and so taken into account.

(b) The Actual Contribution Ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee who is an eligible employee in more than one plan of the same employer (within the meaning of the Code) to which matching or employee contributions are made shall be calculated by treating all such contributions with respect to such Employee under any such arrangement as being made under this Plan.

(c) If no qualifying matching contributions are paid on behalf of any Employee who is eligible to make or receive any such contribution, such person shall be treated as a Participant with an Actual Contribution Ratio of zero.

3. Section 1.4 of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

4. Section 1.5 of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

(B) Elective Deferrals that are taken into account in the Actual Contribution Percentage test (provided the ADP test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of these Elective Deferrals); and

(2) any qualified matching contributions permitted to be taken into account for these purposes under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6) and so taken into account.

(b) The Actual Deferral Ratio of a Highly Compensated Employee who is an eligible employee in more than one cash or deferred arrangement of the same employer (within the meaning of the Code) shall be calculated by treating all qualifying Employer contributions with respect to such Employee under any such arrangement as being made under this Plan.

(c) If no qualifying Employer contributions are paid on behalf of any Participant (or on behalf of any Employee who would be a Participant but for the failure to make Elective Deferrals), such person shall be treated as a Participant with an Actual Deferral Ratio of zero.

9. Section 14.5(b) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

(b) In the event this Plan is terminated, distributions may not be made as a result thereof unless the Plan has been completely terminated and the Company or any Affiliate does not establish or maintain an alternative defined contribution plan (within the meaning of Section 401(k)(10) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(4)(i)), unless the law otherwise permits the distribution.
