Common use of Allocation to Highly Compensated Employees Clause in Contracts

Allocation to Highly Compensated Employees. Excess Contributions will be allocated to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amounts of Employer contributions taken into account in calculating the ADP Test for the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of such Employer contributions and continuing in descending order until all the Excess Contributions have been allocated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “largest amount” is determined by including and excluding such Employer contributions actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of such Participant for the Plan Year that are described in Section 1.6. To the extent a Highly Compensated Employee has not reached his or her Catch-Up Contribution Limit, Excess Contributions allocated to such Highly Compensated Employee are Catch-Up Contributions and will not be treated as Excess Contributions. Excess Contributions will be treated as Annual Additions, even if such Excess Contributions are distributed.
