In such a case, all contributions to the retirement annuity contracts shall be made as soon as the employee is eligible and has filed application forms required by the annuity carrier. No employer contributions under these contracts shall be vested in the employee until after the employee commences the second year of employment unless the employee, at the time of initial employment, either (a) owns a retirement annuity contract or contracts determined by the Division of Pensions and Benefits to be substantially similar to the contracts to be purchased under the alternate benefit program and issued by the designated insurers or mutual fund companies, or (b) is a member of another State-administered retirement system.  To the extent that any contributions required by this section would exceed the limits established pursuant to section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code, the contributions shall not be made to a plan which has been qualified under sections 401(a) or 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
