LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS (Plan Section 4.4)

 

a.

If any Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan
maintained by the Employer, other than a Master or Prototype Plan, or if the
Employer maintains a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e), or
an individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), under which
amounts are treated as Annual Additions with respect to any Participant in this
Plan:

 

1.

[tickedbox.gif]

N/A. The Employer does not maintain another qualified defined contribution plan.

 

2.

[emptybox.gif]

The provisions of Section 4.4(b) of the Plan will apply as if the other plan
were a master or prototype plan.

 

3.

[emptybox.gif]

Specify the method under which the plans will limit total Annual Additions to
the Maximum Permissible Amount, and will properly reduce any Excess Amounts, in
a manner that precludes Employer discretion:
_________________________________________________

 

b.

If any Participant is a Participant in a qualified defined benefit plan
maintained by the Employer:

 

1.

[tickedbox.gif]

N/A. The Employer does not maintain, and has never maintained, a qualified
defined benefit plan OR the provisions of Code Section 415(e) no longer apply to
the Plan.

 

2.

considered a safe harbor plan under Code Section 401(a)(4) and the Regulations
thereunder).

 

3.

[emptybox.gif]

In any Limitation Year, the Annual Additions credited to the Participant under
this Plan may not cause the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the
Defined Contribution Fraction to exceed 1.0. If the Employer’s contribution that
would otherwise be made on the Participant’s behalf during the Limitation Year
would cause the 1.0 limitation to be exceeded, the rate of contribution under
this Plan will be reduced so that the sum of the fractions equals 1.0. If the
1.0 limitation is exceeded because of an Excess Amount, such Excess Amount will
be reduced in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Plan.

 

4.

[emptybox.gif]

Specify and attach to the Adoption Agreement the method under which the plans
involved will satisfy the 1.0 limitation in a manner that precludes Employer
discretion.

  With respect to required minimum distributions under the Plan made on or after

will apply the minimum distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the
Internal Revenue Code in accordance with the regulations under section 401(a)(9)
that were proposed on January 17, 2001 (the 2001 Proposed Regulations),
notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary. If a date earlier
than January 1, 2002 is selected above and the total amount of required minimum
distributions made to a participant for 2001 prior to such date are equal to or
greater than the amount of required minimum distributions determined under the
2001 Proposed Regulations, then no additional distributions are required for
such participant for 2001 on or after such date. In addition, if a date earlier
than January 1, 2002 is selected above and the total amount of required minimum
distributions made to a participant for 2001 prior to such date are less than
the amount determined under the 2001 Proposed Regulations, then the amount of
required minimum distributions for 2001 on or after such date will be determined
so that the total amount of required minimum distributions for 2001 is the
amount determined under the 2001 Proposed Regulations. This amendment shall
continue in effect until the last calendar year beginning before the effective
date of the final regulations under section 401(a)(9) or such other date as may
be published by the Internal Revenue Service.

provisions of the plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the
provisions of this amendment.

ARTICLE II

ADOPTION AGREEMENT ELECTIONS

The questions in this Article II only need to be completed in order to override

The vesting schedule for matching contributions will be a 6-year graded schedule
(if the plan currently has a graded schedule that does not satisfy EGTRRA) or a

satisfy EGTRRA), and such schedule will apply to all matching contributions
(even those made prior to 2002).

 

2)

Rollovers are automatically excluded in determining whether the $5,000 threshold
has been exceeded for automatic cash-outs. This is applied to all participants
regardless of when the distributable event occurred.

this will only apply to hardship distributions made after 2001.

plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be
eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the
limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up contributions shall
not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the plan
implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code.
The plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the plan
implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12),

$40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of
the Code, or

 

(b)

100 percent of the participant’s compensation, within the meaning of Section
415(c)(3) of the Code, for the limitation year.

The compensation limit referred to in (b) shall not apply to any contribution
for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of
Section 401(h) or Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise treated as
an annual addition.

ARTICLE X

Key employee. Key employee means any employee or former employee (including any
deceased employee) who at any time during the plan year that includes the
determination date was an officer of the employer having annual compensation
greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for plan
years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the employer, or
a 1-percent owner of the employer having annual compensation of more than
$150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the
meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a key
employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the
applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued
thereunder.

10.2.2

Determination of present values and amounts. This Section 10.2.2 shall apply for
purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts
of account balances of employees as of the determination date.

 

a.

Distributions during year ending on the determination date. The present values
of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the
determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to
the employee under the plan and any plan aggregated with the plan under Section
416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the determination date.
The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan
which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the plan
under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made
for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this
provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period.”

 

b.

Employees not performing services during year ending on the determination date.
The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed
services for the employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination
date shall not be taken into account.

10.3

Minimum benefits.

10.3.1

Matching contributions. Employer matching contributions shall be taken into
account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of
Section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the plan. The preceding sentence shall apply
with respect to matching contributions under the plan or, if the plan provides
that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such
other plan. Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum
contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for
purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of
Section 401(m) of the Code.

10.3.2

Contributions under other plans. The employer may provide, in an addendum to
this amendment, that the minimum benefit requirement shall be met in another
plan (including another plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred
arrangement which meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and
matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section
401(m)(11) of the Code are met). The addendum should include the name of the
other plan, the minimum benefit that will be provided under such other plan, and
the employees who will receive the minimum benefit under such other plan.

ARTICLE XI

DIRECT ROLLOVERS

11.1

Effective date. This Article shall apply to distributions made after December
31, 2001.

11.2

Modification of definition of eligible retirement plan. For purposes of the
direct rollover provisions of the plan, an eligible retirement plan shall also
mean an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible
plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political
subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political
subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts
transferred into such plan from this plan. The definition of eligible retirement
plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to
a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic
relation order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.

11.3

Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to exclude hardship
distributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions of the plan, any
amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an eligible
rollover distribution and the distributee may not elect to have any portion of
such a distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

11.4

Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to include
after-tax employee contributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions
in the plan, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible
rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee
contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion
may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described
in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution
plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately
account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the
portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion
of such distribution which is not so includible.

ARTICLE XII

ROLLOVERS FROM OTHER PLANS

Rollovers from other plans. Except as otherwise elected in Section 2.5 of this
amendment, the employer, operationally and on a nondiscriminatory basis, may
limit the source of rollover contributions that may be accepted by this plan.

ARTICLE XIII

REPEAL OF MULTIPLE USE TEST

Repeal of Multiple Use Test. The multiple use test described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2 and the plan shall not apply for plan years
beginning after December 31, 2001.

ARTICLE XIV

ELECTIVE DEFERRALS

14.1

Elective Deferrals - Contribution Limitation. No participant shall be permitted
to have elective deferrals made under this plan, or any other qualified plan
maintained by the employer during any taxable year, in excess of the dollar
limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Code in effect for such taxable
year, except to the extent permitted under Article VI of this amendment and
Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable.

14.2

Maximum Salary Reduction Contributions for SIMPLE plans. If this is a SIMPLE
401(k) plan, then except to the extent permitted under Article VI of this
amendment and Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable, the maximum salary
reduction contribution that can be made to this plan is the amount determined
under Section 408(p)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code for the calendar year.

ARTICLE XV

SAFE HARBOR PLAN PROVISIONS

Modification of Top-Heavy Rules. The top-heavy requirements of Section 416 of
the Code and the plan shall not apply in any year beginning after December 31,
2001, in which the plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which
meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching
contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) of
the Code are met.

ARTICLE XVI

DISTRIBUTION UPON SEVERANCE OF EMPLOYMENT

16.1

Effective date. This Article shall apply for distributions and transactions made
after December 31, 2001, regardless of when the severance of employment
occurred.

16.2

New distributable event. A participant’s elective deferrals, qualified
nonelective contributions, qualified matching contributions, and earnings
attributable to these contributions shall be distributed on account of the
participant’s severance from employment. However, such a distribution shall be
subject to the other provisions of the plan regarding distributions, other than
provisions that require a separation from service before such amounts may be
distributed.

PROTOTYPE PAIRED DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

For

CORPORATIONS, ASSOCIATIONS AND SELF-EMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS

RMD MODEL AMENDMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE I

PREAMBLE

Adoption by prototype sponsor.

This amendment of the MFS Retirement Services, Inc. Prototype Paired Defined
Contribution Plans for Corporations, Associations and Self-Employed Individuals,
Basic Plan Document #01 (“Plan”) is a model amendment as provided in Revenue
Procedure 2002-29 and is adopted as Article XIV of the Plan to comply with the
final and temporary regulations under §401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Except as otherwise provided herein, pursuant to Section 5.01 of Revenue
Procedure 2000-20 and Section 3.03 of Revenue Procedure 2002-29, the sponsor
hereby adopts this amendment on behalf of all adopting employers.

Supersession of inconsistent provisions.

This amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those
provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this amendment.

MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

Section 1.

General Rules.

1.1. Effective Date. Unless an earlier effective date is specified in the
adoption agreement, the provisions of this article will apply for purposes of
determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the
2003 calendar year.

1.2. Coordination with Minimum Distribution Requirements Previously in Effect.
If the adoption agreement specifies an effective date of this article that is
earlier than calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year, required
minimum distributions for 2002 under this article will be determined as follows.
If the total amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under the Plan made
to the distributee prior to the effective date of this article equals or exceeds
the required minimum distributions determined under this article, then no
additional distributions will be required to be made for 2002 on or after such
date to the distributee. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum
distributions under the Plan made to the distributee prior to the effective date
of this article is less than the amount determined under this article, then
required minimum distributions for 2002 on and after such date will be
determined so that the total amount of required minimum distributions for 2002
made to the distributee will be the amount determined under this article.

1.3. Precedence. The requirements of this article will take precedence over any
inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

1.4. Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions
required under this article will be determined and made in accordance with the
Treasury regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.

1.5. TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this article, distributions may be made under a designation made before January
1, 1984, in accordance with section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to section
242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

Section 2.

Time and Manner of Distribution.

2.1. Required Beginning Date. The participant’s entire interest will be
distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the participant no later than the
participant’s required beginning date.

2.2. Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the participant dies
before distributions begin, the participant’s entire interest will be
distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

 

(a)

If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated
beneficiary, then, except as provided in the adoption agreement, distributions
to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the participant died, or by
December 31 of the calendar year in which the participant would have attained
age 70 1/2, if later.

 

(b)

If the participant’s surviving spouse is not the participant’s sole designated
beneficiary, then, except as provided in the adoption agreement, distributions
to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the participant died.

 

(c)

If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following
the year of the participant’s death, the participant’s entire interest will be
distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary
of the participant’s death.

April, 2002

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

(d)

If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated
beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the participant but before
distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this section 2.2, other than
section 2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.

For purposes of this section 2.2 and section 4, unless section 2.2(d) applies,
distributions are considered to begin on the participant’s required beginning
date. If section 2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the
date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section
2.2(a). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company
irrevocably commence to the participant before the participant’s required
beginning date (or to the participant’s surviving spouse before the date
distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section
2.2(a)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date
distributions actually commence.

2.3. Forms of Distribution. Unless the participant’s interest is distributed in
the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on
or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar
year distributions will be made in accordance with sections 3 and 4 of this
article. If the participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity
purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in
accordance with the requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the
Treasury regulations.

Section 3.

Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime.

3.1. Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar
Year. During the participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:

 

(a)

the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the
distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section
1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the participant’s age as of the
participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

 

(b)

if the participant’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar
year is the participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the
participant’s account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table
set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the
participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the participant’s and spouse’s
birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

3.2. Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of
Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under
this section 3 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and
including the distribution calendar year that includes the participant’s date of
death.

Section 4.

Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.

4.1. Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

 

(a)

Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the participant dies on or
after the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the
minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year
after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing
the participant’s account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy
of the participant or the remaining life expectancy of the participant’s
designated beneficiary, determined as follows:

 

(1)

The participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the
participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

(2)

If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated
beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated
for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death
using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For
distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the
remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of
the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the
spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

 

(3)

If the participant’s surviving spouse is not the participant’s sole designated
beneficiary, the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is
calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of
the participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

(b)

No Designated Beneficiary. If the participant dies on or after the date
distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of
the year after the year of the participant’s death, the minimum amount that will
be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s
account balance by the participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using
the age of the participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each
subsequent year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

4.2. Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

 

(a)

Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Except as provided in the
adoption agreement, if the participant dies before the date distributions begin
and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s
account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the participant’s designated
beneficiary, determined as provided in section 4.1.

 

(b)

No Designated Beneficiary. If the participant dies before the date distributions
begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
following the year of the participant’s death, distribution of the participant’s
entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing
the fifth anniversary of the participant’s death.

 

(c)

Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required
to Begin. If the participant dies before the date distributions begin, the
participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary,
and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the
surviving spouse under section 2.2(a), this section 4.2 will apply as if the
surviving spouse were the participant.

Section 5.

Definitions.

5.1. Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary
under section 1.9 of Article I of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary
under section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and section 1.401(a)(9)-1,
Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations.

5.2. Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum
distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the participant’s
death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately
preceding the calendar year which contains the participant’s required beginning
date. For distributions beginning after the participant’s death, the first
distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are
required to begin under section 2.2. The required minimum distribution for the
participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the
participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for
other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution
for the distribution calendar year in which the participant’s required beginning
date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar
year.

5.3. Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life
Table in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

5.4. Participant’s account balance. The account balance as of the last valuation
date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year
(valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and
allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the
valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions
made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The account
balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or
transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the
distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation
calendar year.

5.5. Required beginning date. The date specified in section 6.5 of Article VI of
the Plan.

Election to Apply 5-Year Rule to Distributions to Designated Beneficiaries.

 

[emptybox.gif]

If the participant dies before distributions begin and there is a designated
beneficiary, distribution to the designated beneficiary is not required to begin
by the date specified in section 2.2 of Article XIV of the Plan, but the
participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the designated beneficiary
by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
participant’s death. If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s
sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the participant
but before distributions to either the participant or the surviving spouse
begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.

Participants or beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the
5-year rule or the life expectancy rule in sections 2.2 and 4.2 of Article XIV
of the Plan applies to distributions after the death of a participant who has a
designated beneficiary. The election must be made no later than the earlier of
September 30 of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to
begin under section 2.2 of Article XIV of the Plan, or by September 30 of the
calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the participant’s (or, if
applicable, surviving spouse’s) death. If neither the participant nor
beneficiary makes an election under this paragraph, distributions will be made
in accordance with sections 2.2 and 4.2 of Article XIV of the Plan and, if
applicable, the elections in section 2 above.

4.

Election to Allow Designated Beneficiary Receiving Distributions Under 5-Year
Rule to Elect Life Expectancy Distributions.

 

[emptybox.gif]

A designated beneficiary who is receiving payments under the 5-year rule may
make a new election to receive payments under the life expectancy rule until
December 31, 2003, provided that all amounts that would have been required to be
distributed under the life expectancy rule for all distribution calendar years
before 2004 are distributed by the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the end of
the 5-year period.
