A Participant will be deemed to have incurred a Disability if: (i) the Social Security Administration or Railroad Retirement Board determines that the Participant is totally disabled; or (ii) the applicable insurance company providing disability insurance to the Participant under an Employer sponsored disability program determines that a Participant is disabled under the {W6390438.1} 2 insurance contract definition of disability, provided such definition complies with the definition in this Section 2.1.7. 2.1.8 Earning Adjustments. “Earning Adjustments” means earnings, gain, or loss applicable to a Participant’s Account provided that such amounts reflect actual predetermined investments. 2.1.9 Effective Date. “Effective Date” means January 1, 2018. 2.1.10 Elective Deferral. “Elective Deferral” means the amount of Compensation that a Participant elects to defer into the Participant’s Account under the Plan at such times and in such manner as set forth in the Participation Agreement. 2.1.11 Elective Deferral Account. “Elective Deferral Account” means the portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Elective Deferrals and any Earning Adjustments thereon. 2.1.12 Employer. “Employer” means the AHS entity receiving the personal services of Participant and with respect to whom the Legally Binding Right occurs.
