Article III.1 is amended effective January 1, 2009, by adding a new Section
III.1.c. to read as follows:

 

 

 

“c.

Automatic Contribution Arrangement

 

 

 

 

 

(1)

Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions will be made on behalf of Covered Participants
who do not have an affirmative election in effect regarding Pre-Tax
Contributions. The amount of Automatic Deferred Cash Contributions made for a
Covered Participant each pay period is equal to 3% multiplied by the Covered
Participant’s Compensation for that pay period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2)

A Covered Participant will have a reasonable opportunity after receipt of the
notice required described in (4) below to make an affirmative election regarding
Pre-Tax Contributions (either to have no Pre-Tax Contributions made or to have a
different amount of Pre-Tax Contributions made) before Automatic Pre-Tax
Contributions are made on the Covered Participant’s behalf. Automatic Pre-Tax
Contributions being made on behalf of a Covered Participant will cease as soon
as administratively feasible after the Covered Participant makes an affirmative
election.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3)

Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions will be reduced or stopped to meet the
limitations under Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) and 415 of the Code and to satisfy
any suspension period required after a hardship distribution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(4)

At least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the beginning of the Plan
Year, the Employer will provide each Covered Participant a comprehensive notice
of the Participant’s rights and obligations under this Automatic Contribution
Arrangement, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average
Covered Participant. If an eligible Employee becomes a Covered Participant after
the 90th day before the beginning of the Plan Year and does not receive the
notice for that reason, the notice will be provided within a reasonable period
of time and in accordance with Section 1.414(w)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The notice must accurately describe:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

The amount of Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions that will be made on the Covered
Participant’s behalf in the absence of an affirmative election;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

The Covered Participant’s right to elect to have no Pre-Tax Contributions made
on his or her behalf or to have a different amount of Pre-Tax Contributions
made;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

How Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions will be invested in the absence of the
investment instructions; and

2

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

The Covered Participant’s right to make a withdrawal of Automatic Pre-Tax
Contributions and the procedures for making such a withdrawal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(5)

No later than 75 days after the recordkeeper first receives the Covered
Participant’s Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions, the Covered Participant may
request a distribution of his or her Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions. In no
event shall the Covered Participant be allowed to request a distribution of his
or her Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions later than 90 days after Automatic
Pre-Tax Contributions are first withheld from a Covered Participant’s pay. No
spousal consent is required for such a withdrawal. The amount to be distributed
from the Plan upon the Covered Participant’s request is equal to the amount of
Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions made through the earlier of (i) the pay date for
the second payroll period that begins after the Covered Participant’s withdrawal
request and (ii) the first pay date that occurs after 30 days after the Covered
Participant’s request, adjusted to reflect any investment gains or losses
attributable to those contributions through the date of distribution. Any fee
charged to the Covered Participant for the withdrawal may not be greater than
any other fee charged for a cash distribution. Unless the Covered Participant
affirmatively elects otherwise, any withdrawal request will be treated as an
affirmative election to stop having Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions made on the
Covered Participant’s behalf as of the date specified above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions distributed pursuant to this paragraph (5) are
not counted towards the dollar limitation on Pre-Tax Contributions contained in
Section 402(g) of the Code, nor for the Actual Deferral Percentage test.
Matching Contributions that might otherwise be allocated to a Covered
Participant’s account on behalf of Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions will not be
allocated to the extent the Covered Participant withdraws such Pre-Tax
Contributions pursuant to this paragraph (5) and any Matching Contributions
already made on account of Automatic Pre-Tax Contributions that are later
withdrawn pursuant to this paragraph (5) will be forfeited.”

 

 

 

 

5.

Article 1(1) is amended, effective as of January 1, 2010, by inserting,
immediately after the phrase “Catch-Up Contribution Account” the new phrase
“Roth Contribution Account”.

 

 

6.

A new Article 1(51A) and 1(51B) are added to the Plan, effective January 1,
2010, to read as follows:

 

 

 

“1.51A ‘Roth Contribution Account’ shall mean an account established and
maintained on behalf of an Employee to which his Roth Contributions are
allocated.

 

 

 

1.51B “Roth Contribution” shall mean amounts contributed pursuant to Article
III.1.d (a) designated irrevocably by the Employee at the time the election is
made as a Roth Contribution that is being made in lieu of all or a portion of
the Pre-Tax Contributions the Participant is otherwise eligible to make under
the Plan; and (b) treated by the Employer as includible in the Participant’s
income at the time the Participant would have received that amount in cash if
the Participant had not made an election.”

each Participant’s Roth Contribution Account. Contributions and withdrawals of
Roth Contributions will be credited and debited to the Roth Contribution Account
maintained for each Participant. Gains, losses, and other credits or charges
must be separately allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each
Participant’s Roth Contribution Account and the Participant’s other accounts
under the Plan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3)

No contributions other than Roth Contributions and properly attributable
earnings will be credited to each Participant’s Roth Contribution Account.

hardship withdrawals under Article VIII and loans under Article IX, but
excluding the Automatic Contribution Arrangement under Article III.1. Roth
Contributions will also be eligible for Employer Match Contributions under
Article III.2, under the same conditions as Pre-Tax Contributions.”

 

 

 

 

8.

Article III.9 is amended, effective January 1, 2010, by adding the following
paragraph at the end thereof:

 

 

 

 

“A Highly Compensated Employee may designate the extent to which the excess
contribution is composed of Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Contributions but
only to the extent such types of contributions were made for the year. If the
Highly Compensated Employee does not designate which type of contributions are
to be distributed, the Plan will distribute Pre-Tax Contributions first.”

 

 

 

9.

Article IV.4 is amended, effective January 1, 2010, by adding the following
paragraph to the end thereof:

 

 

 

“In addition, effective January 1, 2010, a Participant other than a Terminated

the Plan Administrator, to directly rollover to his Roth Contribution Account a
direct rollover from another Roth Contribution Account under an applicable
retirement plan described in section 402A(e)(1) of the Code and only to the
extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of section 402(c) of the Code.”

 

 

10.

Article VII.12 is amended, effective January 1, 2010, by adding the following
paragraph to the end thereof:

 

 

 

“Notwithstanding the above, a direct rollover of a distribution from a Roth
Contribution Account will only be made to another Roth Contribution Account
under an applicable

4

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

 

 

 

retirement plan described in section 402A(e)(1) of the Code or to a Roth IRA
described in section 408A of the Code, and only to the extent the rollover is
permitted under the rules of section 402(c) of the Code.”

 

 

11.

Article VIII.2 is amended, effective January 1, 2010, by adding the following
new paragraph after the second paragraph to read as follows:

 

 

 

“A Vested or Non-Vested Participant shall be permitted to make a withdrawal from
his Roth Contribution Account only in the case of hardship. For purposes of this
