 ADOPTION AGREEMENT #003 

VOLUME SUBMITTER 401(k) PLAN 

The undersigned Employer, by executing this Adoption Agreement, establishes a retirement plan and trust (collectively “Plan”) under
the Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Defined Contribution Volume Submitter Plan and Trust (basic plan document #08). The Employer, subject to the Employer’s Adoption Agreement elections, adopts fully the Volume Submitter Plan and Trust provisions. This
Adoption Agreement, the basic plan document and any attached Appendices or agreements permitted or referenced therein, constitute the Employer’s entire plan and trust document. All “Election” references within this Adoption
Agreement are Adoption Agreement Elections. All “Article” or “Section” references are basic plan document references. Numbers in parentheses which follow election numbers are basic plan document references. Where an Adoption
Agreement election calls for the Employer to supply text, the Employer (without altering the content of any existing printed text) may lengthen any space or line, or create additional tiers. When Employer-supplied text uses terms substantially
similar to existing printed options, all clarifications and caveats applicable to the printed options apply to the Employer-supplied text unless the context requires otherwise. The Employer makes the following elections granted under the
corresponding provisions of the basic plan document.

result in the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees (NHCEs) participating under the plan being only those NHCEs with the lowest amount of compensation and/or the shortest periods of service and who may represent the minimum number
of these employees necessary to satisfy coverage under Code §41O(b).] 
  

9.    COMPENSATION (1.11(B)). The following base Compensation (as adjusted under Elections 10 and 11) applies

9(d), Elective Deferrals includes Pre-Tax Deferrals, Roth Deferrals and Employee Contributions, Matching includes all Matching Contributions and Nonelective includes all Nonelective Contributions. In
applying any Plan definition which references Section 1.11 Compensation, where the Employer in this Election 9 elects more than one Compensation definition for allocation purposes, the Plan Administrator will use W-2 Wages for other Plan definitions of Compensation if the Employer has elected W-2 Wages for any Contribution Type or Participant group under Election 9. If the
Employer has not elected W-2 Wages, the Plan Administrator for such other Plan definitions will use 415 Compensation. If the Plan is a Multiple Employer Plan, see Section 12.07.
Election 9(d) below may cause allocation Compensation to fail to be nondiscriminatory under Treas. Reg. §1.414(s).]

Elections 9 and 10 (Choose one of (a), (b), or (c).):  
  

					
	(a)	 	☐	  	No exclusions. Compensation as to all Contribution Types means Compensation as elected in Elections 9 and 10 (skip to Election 12). 
			
	(b)	 	☒	  	Exclusions - same for all Contribution Types. The following exclusions apply to all Contribution Types (Choose one or more of (e) through (l). Choose column (1) for each option elected at

applicable.): 

 [Note: In a safe harbor 401(k) plan, allocations qualifying for the ADP or ACP test safe harbors must be based on a
nondiscriminatory definition of Compensation. If the Plan applies permitted disparity, allocations also must be based on a nondiscriminatory definition of Compensation if the Plan is to avoid more complex testing. Elections 11(g) through
(l) below may cause allocation Compensation to fail to be nondiscriminatory under Treas. Reg. §1.414(s). In a non-safe harbor 401(k) plan, Elections 11(g) through (l) which result in
Compensation failing to be nondiscriminatory, may result in more complex nondiscrimination testing. For this Election 11, unless described otherwise in Election 11(l), Elective Deferrals includes Pre-Tax
Deferrals, Roth Deferrals and Employee Contributions, Matching includes all Matching Contributions and Nonelective includes all Nonelective Contributions.]

non-uniform, it is not a design-based safe harbor for nondiscrimination purposes.)

 [Note: Under Election 27(e), the Employer may describe the amount and type of Nonelective Contributions from the
elections available under Election 27 and/or a combination thereof as to a Participant group (e.g., A Discretionary Nonelective Contribution applies to Division A Employees. A Fixed Nonelective Contribution equal to 5% of Plan Year Compensation
applies to Division B Employees).]

 [Note: Typically, the Employer would elect 28(d) where it intends to satisfy nondiscrimination requirements using
“cross-testing” under Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(4)-8. However, choosing this election does not necessarily require application of cross-testing and the Plan may be able to satisfy nondiscrimination
as to its classification-based allocations by testing allocation rates.]

 Volume Submitter 401(k) Plan 

 

 [Note: Any classifications under Election 28(d) must result in a definitely determinable allocation
under Treas. Reg. §1.401-1 (b)(1)(ii). The classifications cannot limit the NHCEs benefiting under the Plan only to those NHCE/Participants with the lowest Compensation and/or the shortest periods
of Service and who may represent the minimum number of benefiting NHCEs necessary to pass coverage under Code §410(b). In the case of a self-employed Participant (i.e., sole proprietorships or partnerships), the requirements of Treas.
Reg. §1.401(k)-1(a)(6) apply and the allocation method should not result in a cash or deferred election for the self-employed Participant. The Employer by the due date of its tax return (including
extensions) must advise the Plan Administrator or Trustee in writing as to the allocation rate applicable to each Participant under Election 28(d)(1)a. or applicable to each classification under Elections 28(d)(1)b. or c. for the allocation Plan
Year.]

		 		 		 		 	(e.g., Allocate pro rata to NHCEs and flat dollar to HCEs.)
			
	(e)	 	☐	 	Age-based. [This is a nondesigned based safe harbor allocation method.] In accordance with the age-based
allocation provisions of Section 3.04(B)(5). The Plan Administrator will use the Actuarial Factors based on the following assumptions (Complete both (1) and (2).): 
			
		 	(1)	 	Interest rate. (Choose one of a., b., or c.):
			
		 		 	a.    ☐    7.5%                    b.    
☐    8.0%                    c.    ☐    8.5%

Service.                     point(s) for each Year of Service. The maximum number of Years of Service counted for
points is                    .

			
		 		 	“Year of Service” under this Election 28(f) means (Choose one of a. or b.): 
					
		 		 	a.	 	☐	 	Eligibility. Years of Service for eligibility in Election 16.
					
		 		 	b.	 	☐	 	Vesting. Years of Service for vesting in Elections 43 and 44.
			
		 		 	[Note: A Year of Service must satisfy Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(4)-11(d)(3) for the uniform points allocation to qualify as a safe harbor
allocation under Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(4)-2(b)(3).] 
			
		 	(2)	 	
☐   Age.             
       point(s) for each year of age attained during the Plan Year.

		 		 	b.	 	☐	 	At least one different. Under the following allocation method(s):                     .
			
		 	(2)	 	Allocation sharing. The Plan Administrator will allocate the Nonelective Contributions made by the Signatory Employer and by any Participating Employer (Choose one of a. or b.): 
					
		 		 	a.	 	☐	 	Employer by Employer. Only to the Participants directly employed by the contributing Employer.
					
		 		 	b.	 	☐	 	Across Employer lines. To all Participants regardless of which Employer directly employs them and regardless of whether their direct Employer made Nonelective Contributions for the Plan Year.

 [Note: Unless the Plan is a Multiple Employer Plan, the Employer should not elect 28(g) unless there are Related
Employers which are also Participating Employers. See Section 1.24(D) and Election 27(d). If the Employer elects 28(g)(2)a., the Employer should also elect 11(k)(2), to disregard the Compensation paid by “Y” Participating Employer in
determining the allocation of the “X” Participating Employer contribution to a Participant (and vice versa) who receives Compensation from both X and Y. lf the Employer elects 28(g)(2)b., the Employer should not elect 11(k)(2). Election
28(g)(2)a. does not apply to Safe Harbor Nonelective Contributions.]

to         % (specify amount at least equal to 3%) of a Participant’s Compensation. This Election 30(b) and safe harbor status applies for the Plan Year ending:
                    (specify Plan Year end), which is the Plan Year to which the Employer’s maybe and supplemental notices
apply.

 [Note: An Employer distributing the maybe notice can use election 30(b) without completing the year. Doing so
requires the Plan to perform Current Year Testing unless the Employer decides to elect safe harbor status. If the Employer wishes to elect safe harbor status for a single year, the Employer must amend the Plan to enter the Plan Year end
above.]

 Disability Claims Procedure 

 

 DISABILITY CLAIMS PROCEDURES 

Notwithstanding anything in the plan or Summary Plan Description to the contrary, the following procedures apply with respect to claims for disability
benefits after April 1, 2018. These procedures are limited to claims where benefits are based on disability and the Plan Administrator is determining whether you satisfy the Plan’s definition of disability (e.g., where the plan is not
relying on an independent determination, such as qualifying for Social Security disability benefits or where a participant’s eligibility for disability benefits is determined under Employer’s long term disability program). 

These procedures are intended to meet ERISA requirements set forth in DOL Regulation §2560.503-1 and will be
interpreted in accordance with such regulations. The procedures are designed to ensure that claimants are not unduly inhibited from making claims; that claimants may appoint an authorized representative in accordance with Plan rules; determinations
will be made in accordance with the Plan documents; that Plan provisions are applied consistently; and that decisions are made by impartial and independent decision makers. 

The Plan may offer additional voluntary appeal and/or mandatory arbitration procedures other than those described here. If applicable, the Plan will not
assert that a claimant has failed to exhaust administrative remedies for failure to use the voluntary procedures, any statute of limitations or other defense based on timeliness is tolled during the time a voluntary appeal is pending; and the
voluntary process is available only after exhaustion of the appeals process described in this section. If mandatory arbitration is offered by the Plan, the arbitration must be conducted instead of the appeal process described in this section, and
the claimant is not precluded from challenging the decision under ERISA §50l(a) or other applicable law. 
 The “claimant” refers to you,
your authorized representative, or anyone else entitled to benefits under the Plan (such as a beneficiary). 
 For purposes of these procedures, a document,
record, or other information shall be considered relevant to a claim if it: 
  

	 	•	 	 was relied upon in making the benefit determination; 



 

	 	•	 	 was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to
whether it was relied upon in making the benefit determination; 


  

	 	•	 	 demonstrated compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards designed to ensure and to verify that
benefit determinations are made in accordance with Plan documents and Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to all claimants; or 


  

	 	•	 	 constituted a statement of policy or guidance with respect to the Plan concerning the denied treatment option or
benefit. 


 How do I submit a claim for Plan benefits? 

You may file a claim for benefits by submitting a written request for benefits to the Plan Administrator. You should contact the Plan Administrator to see if
there is an applicable distribution form that must be used. If no specific form is required or available, then your written request for a distribution or a written assertion that your benefits under the Plan have been determined incorrectly, will be
considered a claim for benefits. 
 The claim for benefits must include sufficient evidence to enable the Plan Administrator to determine whether you have
met the Plan’s definition of disability. 
 Decisions on the claim will be made within a reasonable period of time appropriate to the circumstances.
“Days” means calendar days. If the Administrator determines the claim is valid, then you will receive a statement describing the amount of benefit, the method or methods of payment, the timing of distributions and other information
relevant to the payment of the benefit.

 Disability Claims Procedure 

 

 Initial Claims 

A claim must be resolved, at the initial level, within 45 days of receipt by the Plan. A Plan may, however, extend this decision-making period for an
additional 30 days for reasons beyond the control of the Plan. The Plan will notify the claimant of the extension prior to the end of the 45-day period. If, after extending the time period for the first 30-day period, the Plan Administrator determines that it will still be unable, for reasons beyond the control of the Plan, to make a decision within the extension period, the Plan may extend decision making for a
second 30-day period. 
 Appropriate notice must be provided to the claimant before the end of the first 45 days and
again before the end of each succeeding 30-day period. This notice will explain the circumstances requiring the extension and the date the Plan Administrator expects to render a decision to the claimant. It
will explain the standards on which entitlement to the benefits is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision, the additional issues that prevent a decision, and the additional information needed to resolve the issues. 

The claimant will have 45 days from the date of receipt of the Plan Administrator’s notice to provide the information required. 

What if my benefits are denied? 
 If the Plan
Administrator determines that all or part of the claim should be denied (an “adverse benefit determination”), it will provide a notice of its decision in written or electronic form explaining the claimant’s appeal rights. An
“adverse benefit determination” also includes a rescission, which is a retroactive cancellation or termination of entitlement to disability benefits. The notice will be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner and
will state: 
 (a)    The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination. 

(b)    Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination was based. 

(c)    A description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary. 
 (d)    A description of the Plan’s review
procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures. This will include a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. 

(e)    A discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: 

 

	 	•	 	 the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational
professionals who evaluated the claimant; 


  

	 	•	 	 the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a
claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; or 


  

	 	•	 	 a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant and presented by the
claimant to the Plan. 


 (f)    If the adverse benefit determination is based on medical necessity or
experimental and/or investigational treatment or similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances will be provided.
If this is not practical, a statement will be included that such explanation will be provided free of charge, upon request. 

  
 Page 2 of 4 














 Disability Claims Procedure 

 

 (g)    Either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, or
other similar criteria relied upon to make a determination, or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, or criteria do not exist. 

(h)    A statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and
copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim. 
 Review of Adverse Benefit Determinations 

When a claimant receives a notice of an adverse benefit determination, the claimant may request a review of the decision. The request must be in writing and
must be filed within 180 days following receipt of the notice. In the case of an adverse benefit determination regarding a rescission of coverage, the claimant must request a review within 90 days of the notice. The claimant or his authorized
representative may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim. If the claimant so requests, he or she will be provided, free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and
other information relevant to the claim. 
 The review shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the
claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The review will not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and will be considered by
a fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse determination nor a subordinate of that individual. 
 If the initial adverse
benefit determination was based on a medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a particular treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, investigational, or not medically necessary or appropriate, the fiduciary shall
consult with a health care professional who was neither involved in or subordinate to the person who made the original benefit determination. This health care professional will have appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine
involved in the medical judgment. Additionally, medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the initial determination will be identified. 

If the Plan considers, relies upon or creates any new or additonal evidence during the review of the adverse benefit determination, the Plan will provide such
new or additional evidence to the claimant, free of charge, as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the time within which a determination on review is required to allow the claimant time to respond. 

Before the Plan issues an adverse benefit determination on review that is based on a new or additional rationale, the claimant must be provided a copy of the
rationale at no cost to the claimant. The rationale must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the time within which a final determination on appeal is required to allow the claimant time to respond. 

The claimant will be notified of the determination on review of the claim no later than 45 days after the Plan’s receipt of the request for review,
unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing. In such a case, the claimant will be notified, before the end of the initial review period, of the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date a decision is
expected. If an extension is provided, the Plan Administrator must notify the claimant of the determination on review no later than 90 days after receipt of the request for review. 

Notice of Adverse Benefit Determination on Review 
 The
Plan Administrator shall provide written or electronic notification to the claimant or his authorized representative in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. If the initial adverse benefit determination is upheld on review, the notice
will include: 
 (a)    The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination. 

(b)    Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination was based. 

  
 Page 3 of 4 














 Disability Claims Procedure 

 

 (c)    A statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request
and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim. 

(d)    A statement of claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA and, if the Plan imposes
a contractual limitations period that applies to claimant’s right to bring such an action, a statement to that effect which includes the calendar date on which such limitation expires on the claim. 

If the Plan offers voluntary appeal procedures, a description of those procedures and the claimant’s right to obtain sufficient
information about those procedures upon request to enable the claimant to make an informed decision about whether to submit to such voluntary appeal. These procedures will include a description of the claimant’s right to representation, the
process for selecting the decision maker and the circumstances, if any, that may affect the impartiality of the decision maker. No fees or costs will be imposed on the claimant as part of the voluntary appeal. A claimant’s decision whether to
use the voluntary appeal process will have no effect on the claimant’s rights to any other Plan benefits. 

(e)    A discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: 

 

	 	•	 	 the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational
professionals who evaluated the claimant; 


  

	 	•	 	 the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a
claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; or 


  

	 	•	 	 a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant and presented by the
claimant to the Plan. 


 (f)    If the adverse benefit determination is based on medical necessity or
experimental and/or investigational treatment or similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances will be provided.
If this is not practical, a statement will be included that such explanation will be provided free of charge, upon request. 

(g)    Either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, or other similar criteria relied upon to make the
determination, or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, or criteria do not exist.

	Contributions. The Employer and/or Participants, in accordance with the Plan terms, make the following Contribution Types to the Plan/Trust (Choose one or more of (b) through
(h).):
			
	(b)	 	☒	 	Pre-Tax Deferrals. See Section 3.02 and Elections 20-23, and 34.

Elections 9 and 10 (Choose one of (a), (b), or (c).):

 [Note: In a safe harbor 401(k) plan, allocations qualifying for the ADP or ACP test safe harbors must be based on a
nondiscriminatory definition of Compensation. If the Plan applies permitted disparity, allocations also must be based on a nondiscriminatory definition of Compensation if the Plan is to avoid more complex testing. Elections 11(g) through
(l) below may cause allocation Compensation to fail to be nondiscriminatory under Treas. Reg. §1.414(s). In a non-safe harbor 401(k) plan, Elections 11(g) through (l) which result in
Compensation failing to be nondiscriminatory, may result in more complex nondiscrimination testing. For this Election 11, unless described otherwise in Election 11(l), Elective Deferrals includes Pre-Tax
Deferrals, Roth Deferrals and Employee Contributions, Matching includes all Matching Contributions and Nonelective includes all Nonelective Contributions.]

§410(b). In the case of a self-employed Participant (i.e., sole proprietorships or partnerships), the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1(a)(6) apply and the allocation method should not result
in a cash or deferred election for the self-employed Participant. The Employer by the due date of its tax return (including extensions) must advise the Plan Administrator or Trustee in writing as to the allocation rate applicable to each Participant
under Election 28(d)(1)a. or applicable to each classification under Elections 28(d)(1)b. or c. for the allocation Plan Year.]
