amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Benefiting Participant’s Elective Deferrals for the Contribution Period which do not exceed six percent (6%) of the Benefiting Participant’s Compensation for the Contribution Period, provided,
however, that each Benefiting Participant shall receive a “Minimum Annual Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contribution” equal to 50% of the first $4,000 of the Benefiting Participant’s Elective

is a Benefiting Participant for a Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contribution with respect to any Contribution Period in a Plan Year shall be a Benefiting Participant for purposes of the Minimum Annual Non-Safe Harbor Matching Contribution, if applicable to such Benefiting Participant, for such Plan Year.
