Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description (“SPD”) for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General:

The Plan is qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) and provides for a savings element, including employee contributions, employer matching contributions as well as a profit sharing element, including employer profit sharing contributions.
