defined in such a way that it precludes Employer discretion and may not be based on time or service (e.g., part-time Employees) and may not provide for an exclusion designed to cover only Nonhighly Compensated Employees with the lowest amount of
compensation and/or the shortest periods of service who may represent the minimum number of Nonhighly Compensated Employees necessary to satisfy the coverage requirements under Code §410(b).]

	Contract No. 060596-0001-0001	  	Section 4 – Minimum Age and Service Requirements


 


	4-3	DEFAULT ELIGIBILITY RULES. In applying the minimum age and service requirements under AA §4-1 above, the following default rules apply with respect to all
contribution sources under the Plan: 

  

	 	•	 	 Year of Service. An Employee earns a Year of Service for eligibility purposes upon completing 1,000 Hours of Service during an Eligibility
Computation Period. Hours of Service are calculated based on actual hours worked during the Eligibility Computation Period. (See Section 1.67 of the Plan for the definition of Hours of Service.) 



 

	 	•	 	 Eligibility Computation Period. If one Year of Service is required for eligibility, the Plan will determine subsequent Eligibility Computation
Periods on the basis of Plan Years (see Section 2.03(a)(2)(i) of the Plan). If more than one Year of Service is required for eligibility, the Plan will determine subsequent Eligibility Computation Periods on the basis of Anniversary Years (see
Section 2.03(a)(2)(ii) of the Plan). 


  

	 	•	 	 Break in Service Rules. The Nonvested Participant Break in Service rule and the One-Year Break in Service rule do NOT apply. (See
Section 2.07 of the Plan.) 


 To override the default eligibility rules, complete the applicable sections
of this AA §4-3. If this AA §4-3 is not completed for a particular contribution source, the default eligibility rules apply. 
  

													
	Deferral	  	Match	  	ER	  	 
					
	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	(a)	  	Year of Service. Instead of 1,000 Hours of Service, an Employee earns a Year of Service upon the completion of      [must be less than
1,000] Hours of Service during an Eligibility Computation Period.
					
	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	(b)	  	Eligibility Computation Period (ECP). The Plan will use Anniversary Years, unless more than one Year of Service is required under AA §4-1(a), in which case
the Plan will shift to Plan Years.
					
	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	(c)	  	Elapsed Time method. [Check the same contribution source as checked in AA §4-1(a)(6) above.] Eligibility service will be determined under the Elapsed
Time method. An Eligible Employee (as defined in AA §3-1) must complete a      [not to exceed 24 month] period of service to participate in the Plan. (See Section 2.03(a)(5) of the Plan.)
					
		  		  		  		  	[Note: The period of service may not exceed 12 months for eligibility for Salary Deferrals or After-Tax Contributions. If a period greater than 12
months is entered under this subsection (c) and the Salary Deferral column is checked, the period of service under this subsection (c) will be deemed to be a 12-month period. If a period greater than 12 months applies to Matching Contributions or
Employer Contributions, 100% vesting must be selected under AA §8 for those contributions.]
					
	x	  	x	  	 ̈	  	(d)	  	Equivalency Method. For purposes of determining an Employee’s Hours of Service for eligibility, the Plan will use the Equivalency Method (as defined in
Section 2.03(a)(4) of the Plan). The Equivalency Method will apply to:
							
		  		  		  		  	 ̈	  	(1)	 	All Employees.
							
		  		  		  		  	x	  	(2)	 	Only Employees for whom the Employer does not maintain hourly records. For Employees for whom the Employer maintains hourly records, eligibility will be determined based on actual
hours worked.
					
		  		  		  		  	If this (d) is checked, Hours of Service for eligibility will be determined under the following Equivalency Method.
							
		  		  		  		  	 ̈	  	(3)	 	Monthly. 190 Hours of Service for each month worked.
							
		  		  		  		  	 ̈	  	(4)	 	Daily. 10 Hours of Service for each day worked.
							
		  		  		  		  	x	  	(5)	 	Weekly. 45 Hours of Service for each week worked.
							
		  		  		  		  	 ̈	  	(6)	 	Semi-monthly. 95 Hours of Service for each semi-monthly period worked.
					
	N/A	  	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	(e)	  	Nonvested Participant Break in Service rule applies. Service earned prior to a Nonvested Participant Break in Service will be disregarded in applying the
eligibility rules. (See Section 2.07(b) of the Plan.)
					
	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	 ̈	  	(f)	  	One-Year Break in Service rule applies. The One-Year Break in Service rule (as defined in Section 2.07(d) of the Plan) applies to temporarily disregard an
Employee’s service earned prior to a one-year Break in Service. (See Section 2.07(d) of the Plan if the One-Year Break in Service rule applies to Salary Deferrals.)

determining allocations under the permitted disparity allocation formula under AA §6-3(b) and the Safe Harbor 401(k) provisions under AA §6C, any adjustments under (e) through (k) (other than subsection (i)) will only apply to
Highly Compensated Employees for purposes of applying the permitted disparity and Safe Harbor 401(k) provisions. In addition, unless designated otherwise under (k), any selection(s) in the Deferral column also apply to Roth Deferrals, After-Tax
Contributions, and Safe Harbor Contributions; any selection(s) in the Match column also apply to QMACs; and any selection(s) in the ER column also apply to QNECs. Any modification under subsection (k) must be definitely determinable and

Contributions for purposes of satisfying its obligations under applicable federal, state or municipal prevailing wage laws. See Section 3.02(a)(4) of the Plan.]
		
	 ̈ (e)	    	Qualified Nonelective Contribution (QNECs) are authorized as provided under AA §6-4 below.


  

	6-3	ALLOCATION FORMULA.  

  

													
	 ̈ (a)	    	Pro rata allocation. The Employer Contribution under AA §6-2 will be allocated as a uniform percentage of Plan Compensation or as a uniform dollar amount.
If a fixed Employer Contribution is selected in AA §6-2(b), the Employer Contribution will be allocated in accordance with the selections made in AA §6-2(b). If both a discretionary and fixed Employer Contribution is selected in AA
§6-2, this subsection (a) may be selected for both contribution formulas.
		
	 ̈ (b)	    	 Permitted disparity allocation. The discretionary Employer Contribution under AA §6-2(a) will be allocated
under the two-step permitted disparity formula (as defined in Section 3.02(a)(1)(ii)(A) of the Plan), using the Taxable Wage Base (as defined in Section 1.121 of the Plan) as the Integration Level. However, for any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top
Heavy, the four-step permitted disparity formula applies (as defined in Section 3.02(a)(1)(ii)(B) of the Plan).
  
 To modify these default rules, complete the appropriate provision(s) below.

			
		    	 ̈ (1)	    	Integration Level. Instead of the Taxable Wage Base, the Integration Level is:
				
		    		    	 ̈ (i)	    	    % of the Taxable Wage Base, increased (but not above the Taxable Wage Base) to the next higher:
							
		    		    		    	 ̈ (A)	    	N/A	  	 ̈ (B)	  	$1
							
		    		    		    	 ̈ (C)	    	$100	  	 ̈ (D)	  	$1,000
				
		    		    	 ̈ (ii)	    	$          (not to exceed the Taxable Wage Base)
				
		    		    	 ̈ (iii)	    	20% of the Taxable Wage Base, reduced by $1
			
		    		    	[Note: The maximum integration percentage of 5.7% must be reduced to (i) 5.4% if the Integration Level is based on an amount that is greater
than 80% but less than 100% of the Taxable Wage Base or (ii) 4.3% if the Integration Level is based on an amount that is greater than 20% but less than or equal to 80% of the Taxable Wage Base. See Section 3.02(a)(1)(ii) of the
Plan.]
			
		    	 ̈ (2)	    	Four-step permitted disparity formula. Check this (2) if:
				
		    		    	 ̈ (i)	    	The four-step permitted disparity formula will always be used.
				
		    		    	 ̈ (ii)	    	The four-step permitted disparity formula will never be used, even if the Plan is Top Heavy.
		
	 ̈ (c)	    	Uniform points allocation. The discretionary Employer Contribution designated in AA §6-2(a) will be allocated to each Participant in the ratio that each
Participant’s total points bears to the total points of all Participants. A Participant will receive the following points:
			
		    	 ̈ (1)	    	         point(s) for each year(s) of age (attained as of the end of the Plan Year).
			
		    	 ̈ (2)	    	         points for each $          (not to exceed $200) of Plan
Compensation.
			
		    	 ̈ (3)	    	         point(s) for each          Year(s) of Service. For this purpose, Years of
Service are determined:
				
		    		    	 ̈ (i)	    	In the same manner as determined for eligibility.
				
		    		    	 ̈ (ii)	    	In the same manner as determined for vesting.
				
		    		    	 ̈ (iii)	    	Points will not be provided with respect to Years of Service in excess of     .
		
	 ̈ (d)	    	New comparability allocation. The Employer may make a separate discretionary Employer Contribution (as authorized under AA §6-2(a) above) to the
Participants in the following allocation groups. Any amounts allocated to an allocation group will be allocated as a uniform percentage of Plan Compensation or as a uniform dollar amount to all Participants within that allocation group. The Employer
must notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the contribution to be allocated to each allocation group.
			
		    	 ̈ (1)	    	A separate discretionary Employer Contribution will be made to each Participant of the Employer (i.e., each Participant is in his/her own allocation group). See Section
3.02(a)(1)(iv) of the Plan for special rules regarding the number of separate allocation rates that may be used for Nonhighly Compensated Employees.
			
		    	 ̈ (2)	    	A separate discretionary Employer Contribution will be made to the following allocation groups:
					
		    		    	 ̈ (i)	    	Group 1:	  	
					
		    		    	 ̈ (ii)	    	Group 2:	  	
					
		    		    	 ̈ (iii)	    	Group 3:

		  		    		  	 ̈ (v)	  	Group 5:
				
		  		    		  	[Note: The allocation groups designated above must be clearly defined in a manner that will not violate the definite allocation formula requirement of
Treas. Reg. §1.401-1(b)(1)(ii). See Section 3.02(a)(1)(iv)(D)(IV) of the Plan for restrictions that apply with respect to “short-service” Employees. In the case of self-employed individuals (i.e., sole proprietorships or
partnerships), the requirements of 1.401(k)-1(a)(6) continue to apply, and the allocation method should not be such that a cash or deferred election is created for a self-employed individual as a result of application of the allocation
method.]
				
		  	 ̈ (3)	    		  	Special rules. The following special rules apply to the new comparability allocation formula described in this AA §6-3(d).
					
		  		    		  	 ̈ (i)	  	Family Members. In determining the separate groups under (2) above, Family Members (as defined in Section 1.61 of the Plan) of a Five Percent Owner are always in a separate
allocation group.
					
		  		    		  	 ̈ (ii)	  	Benefiting Participants who do not receive Minimum Gateway Contribution. In determining the separate groups under (2) above, Benefiting Participants who do not receive a
Minimum Gateway Contribution are always in a separate allocation group. (See Section 3.02(a)(1)(iv)(D)(III) of the Plan.)
		
	 ̈ (e)	  	 Age-based allocation. The discretionary Employer Contribution designated in AA §6-2(a) will be allocated under
the age-based allocation formula so that each Participant receives a pro rata allocation based on adjusted Plan Compensation. For this purpose, a Participant’s adjusted Plan Compensation is determined by multiplying the Participant’s Plan
Compensation by an Actuarial Factor (as described in Section 1.04 of the Plan).
  
 A Participant’s Actuarial Factor is determined based on a specified interest rate and mortality table. Unless designated otherwise under (1) or (2) below, the Plan will use a designated interest rate
of 8.5% and a UP-1984 mortality table.

			
		  	 ̈ (1)	    	Applicable interest rate. Instead of 8.5%, the Plan will use an interest rate of     % (must be between 7.5% and 8.5%) in determining a
Participant’s Actuarial Factor.
			
		  	 ̈ (2)	    	Applicable mortality table. Instead of the UP-1984 mortality table, the Plan will use the following mortality table in determining a Participant’s Actuarial
Factor:
		
		  	 [Note: See Exhibit A of the Plan for sample Actuarial Factors based on an 8.5% applicable interest
rate and the UP-1984 mortality table. If an interest rate or mortality table other than 8.5% or UP-1984 is selected, appropriate Actuarial Factors must be calculated. Any alternative interest or mortality factors must meet the requirements for
standard interest and mortality assumptions as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)-12.]

		
	 ̈ (f)	  	Service-based allocation formula. The service-based Employer Contribution selected in AA §6-2(c) will be allocated in accordance with the selections made in
AA §6-2(c).
		
	 ̈ (g)	  	Prevailing Wage allocation formula. The Prevailing Wage Employer Contribution selected in AA §6-2(d) will be allocated in accordance with the selections made
in AA §6-2(d). The Employer may attach an Addendum to the Adoption Agreement setting forth the hourly contribution rate for the employment classifications eligible for Prevailing Wage contributions.


  

	6-4	QUALIFIED NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS (QNECs). For any Plan Year, the Employer may make a discretionary QNEC to the Plan. Such QNEC will be allocated as a uniform
percentage of Plan Compensation to all Nonhighly Compensated Participants, without regard to the allocation conditions selected in AA §6-6 below. 

 To modify these default allocation provisions, complete the applicable provision under this AA §6-4. 

 

			
	 ̈ (a)	  	All Participants. Any QNEC made pursuant to this AA §6-4 will be allocated to all Participants, including Highly Compensated Participants.
		
	 ̈ (b)	  	Targeted QNECs. The QNEC will be allocated to Nonhighly Compensated Employees in accordance with the Targeted QNEC allocation formula under Section 3.02(a)(5)(ii)(B) of
the Plan. For this purpose, a Targeted QNEC may be allocated as a percentage of Plan Compensation or as a uniform dollar amount. (See Section 3.02(a)(5)(ii)(B)(IV) of the Plan for special rule applicable to Plan Years beginning before
January 1, 2006.)
		
	 ̈ (c)	  	Allocation conditions. Any QNEC made pursuant to this AA §6-4 will be allocated only to Participants who have satisfied the allocation conditions under AA §6-6
below.

	6-5	SPECIAL RULES. No special rules apply with respect to Employer Contributions under the Plan, except to the extent designated under this AA §6-5. In
determining the amount of the Employer Contributions to be allocated under this AA §6, the Employer Contribution will be based on Plan Compensation earned during the Plan Year. 


 

									
	 ̈ (a)	  	Period for determining Employer Contributions. Alternatively, the Employer may elect to base the Employer Contributions on Plan Compensation earned during the
following period: [This (a) may not be checked if the permitted disparity allocation method is selected under AA §6-3(b) above.]
					
		  	 ̈ (1)	 	Plan Year quarter.	  	 ̈ (2)	  	calendar month.
					
		  	 ̈ (3)	 	payroll period.	  	 ̈ (4)	  	other:
		
		  	[Note: Although Employer Contributions are determined on the basis of Plan Compensation earned during the period designated under this subsection
(a), this does not require the Employer to actually make contributions or allocate contributions on the basis of such period. Employer Contributions may be contributed and allocated to Participants at any time within the contribution period
permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.415-6, regardless of the period selected under this subsection (a). Any alternative period designated under subsection (4) may not exceed a 12-month period and will apply uniformly to all
Participants.]
		
	 ̈ (b)	  	Top Heavy contribution. If this (b) is checked, any Top Heavy minimum contribution required under Section 4 of the Plan will be allocated to all Participants,
including Key Employees.
		
	 ̈ (c)	  	Net Profits. If this (c) is checked, the Employer Contributions designated under AA §6-2 above will be limited to the Net Profits of the Employer. (This
limit will not apply to any contributions made under the Prevailing Wage Formula under AA §6-2(d).)
			
		  	 ̈ (1)	 	 Default definition of Net Profits. For purposes of this subsection (c), Net Profits is defined in accordance with Section 1.77
of the Plan.

			
		  	 ̈ (2)	 	 Modified definition of Net Profits. For purposes of this subsection (c), Net Profits is
defined as follows:        
  
 [Note: Any definition of Net Profits under this subsection (2) must be described in a manner that precludes Employer discretion, must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code
§401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder, and must apply uniformly to all Participants.]

		
	 ̈ (d)	  	Offset of Employer Contribution. A Participant’s allocation of Employer Contributions under AA §6-2 of this Plan is reduced by contributions under
         [insert name of plan(s)]. (See Section 3.02(d)(2) of the Plan.)
		
		  	[Note: If this (d) is checked, attach an Addendum to this Adoption Agreement describing how such offset will be applied.]


  

	6-6	ALLOCATION CONDITIONS. A Participant who has otherwise satisfied all conditions to receive an Employer Contribution, must satisfy any allocation conditions
designated under this AA §6-6 to receive an allocation of Employer Contributions under the Plan. [Note: The allocation conditions under this AA §6-6 do not apply to Prevailing Wage Contributions under AA §6-2(d), Safe
Harbor Employer Contributions under AA §6C, or QNECs under AA §6-4, unless provided otherwise under those specific sections. See AA §4-5 for treatment of service with Predecessor Employers for purposes of applying the allocation
conditions under this AA §6-6.]

Plan Year.
		
	 ̈ (c)	  	Employment condition. An Employee must be employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.
		
	 ̈ (d)	  	Minimum service condition. An Employee must be credited with at least:
			
		  	 ̈ (1)	  	                Hours of Service (not to exceed 1,000) during the Plan Year.
			
		  	 ̈ (2)	  	                (not more than 182) consecutive days of employment with the Employer during the
Plan Year.
		
	 ̈ (e)	  	Application to a specified period. The allocation conditions selected under this AA §6-6 apply on the basis of the Plan Year. If the Employer will base
its Employer Contributions on a periodic basis (as designated in AA §6-5(a)), this (e) may be checked to allow the allocation conditions under this AA §6-6 to be applied with respect to such period. (See Section 3.09(a) of the
Plan.)

require the Employer to actually make contributions or allocate contributions on the basis of such period. Matching Contributions may be contributed and allocated to Participants at any time within the contribution period permitted under Treas. Reg.
§1.415-6, regardless of the period selected under this AA §6B-5. See Section 3.04(c) of the Plan for a discussion of the “true up” requirements applicable to Matching Contributions. Any alternative period designated under

 SECTION 6C 
 SAFE HARBOR 401(k) CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	6C-1	SAFE HARBOR 401(k) PLAN. Is the Plan intended to be a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan? 


 ̈     Yes 

x     No [If “No” is checked, skip to Section 6D.]

  

	6C-2	SAFE HARBOR CONTRIBUTIONS. To qualify as a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan, the Employer must make a Safe Harbor Matching Contribution or Safe Harbor Employer
Contribution. The Safe Harbor Contribution elected under this AA §6C-2 will be in addition to any Employer Contribution or Matching Contribution elected in AA §6 or AA §6B above. 


 

									
	 ̈ (a)	  	Safe Harbor Matching Contribution.
			
		  	(1)	  	Safe Harbor Matching Contribution formula.
				
		  		  	 ̈ (i)	  	Basic match: 100% of Salary Deferrals up to the first 3% of Plan Compensation, plus 50% of Salary Deferrals up to the next 2% of Plan
Compensation.
				
		  		  	 ̈ (ii)	  	Enhanced match:     % (not less than 100%) of Salary Deferrals up to     % (not less than 4% and not more than 6%) of
Plan Compensation.
				
		  		  	 ̈ (iii)    	  	Tiered match:     % of Salary Deferrals up to the first     % of Plan Compensation,
					
		  		  		  	 ̈ (A)	  	plus     % of Salary Deferrals up to the next     % of Plan Compensation,
					
		  		  		  	 ̈ (B)    	  	plus     % of Salary Deferrals up to the next     % of Plan Compensation.
				
		  		  		  	[Note: The tiered match may not provide for a greater level of match at higher levels of Salary Deferrals and the total amount of Salary Deferrals
eligible for a match may not exceed 6% of Plan Compensation. The tiered match must provide a matching contribution that is at least equivalent at all deferral levels to the basic match described in subsection (i).]
			
		  	(2)	  	Period for determining Safe Harbor Matching Contributions. The Safe Harbor Matching Contribution formula selected in (1) above is based on Salary Deferrals for
the following period:
				
		  		  	 ̈ (i)	  	Plan Year.
				
		  		  	 ̈ (ii)	  	payroll period.
				
		  		  	 ̈ (iii)    	  	Plan Year quarter.
				
		  		  	 ̈ (iv)	  	calendar month.
			
		  		  	[Note: See Section 3.04(c) of the Plan for a discussion of the “true up” requirements applicable to Safe Harbor Matching
Contributions.]
		
	 ̈ (b)	  	Safe Harbor Employer Contribution:     % (not less than 3%) of Plan Compensation.
			
		  	 ̈ (1)    	  	 Supplemental Safe Harbor notice. Check this selection if the Employer will make the Safe Harbor Employer
Contribution pursuant to a supplemental notice, as described in Section 6.04(a)(4)(ii) of the Plan.
  
 [Note: If this (1) is checked, the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution described above will be required for a Plan Year only if the Employer provides a supplemental notice (as described in Section
6.04(a)(4)(ii) of the Plan). If the Employer properly provides the Safe Harbor notice but does not provide a supplemental notice, the Employer need not provide the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution described above. In such a case, the Plan will not
qualify as a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan for that Plan Year and will be subject to ADP/ACP testing, as applicable.]

			
		  	 ̈ (2)	  	 Other plan. Check this selection if the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution will be made under another plan
maintained by the Employer and identify the plan:
  



  

	6C-3	ELIGIBILITY FOR SAFE HARBOR CONTRIBUTION. The Safe Harbor Contribution selected in AA §6C-2 above will be allocated to all Participants who are eligible to
make Salary Deferrals under the Plan, unless designated otherwise under this AA §6C-3: 

  

					
	 ̈ (a)	  	Instead of being allocated to all eligible Participants, the Safe Harbor Contribution will be allocated only to:
			
		  	 ̈ (1)	    	Nonhighly Compensated Participants who are eligible to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan (see AA §4).

	6C-4	OFFSET OF ADDITIONAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Any additional Employer Contributions under AA §6 will be allocated to all eligible Participants in addition to
the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution, unless selected otherwise under this AA §6C-4. 

  

							
		 	 ̈	  	If the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution under AA §6C-2(b) is not allocated to all eligible Participants (pursuant to AA §6C- 3(a)), check this AA §6C-4
to provide that the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution offsets any additional Employer Contributions designated under AA §6. For this purpose, if the permitted disparity allocation method is selected under AA §6- 3(b), this offset applies
only to the second step of the two-step permitted disparity formula or the fourth step of the four-step permitted disparity formula. (See Section 3.02(d)(1) of the Plan.)



 

	6C-5	DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE. The Safe Harbor provisions under this AA §6C are effective as of the Effective Date of the Plan, as designated in the Employer
Signature Page. To provide for a delayed effective date for the Safe Harbor provisions, check this AA §6C-5. 

  

							
		 	 ̈	  	The Safe Harbor provisions under this AA §6C are effective beginning         . Prior to this delayed effective date, the
provisions of this AA §6C do not apply. Thus, prior to the delayed effective date, the Employer is not obligated to make a Safe Harbor Contribution and the Plan is subject to ADP and ACP Testing, to the extent applicable.

Plan will apply when a Plan shifts to or from a Top Heavy Plan vesting schedule.] 
  

	8-7	DEFAULT VESTING RULES. In applying the vesting requirements under this AA §8, the following default rules apply. 


 

	 	•	 	 Year of Service. An Employee earns a Year of Service for vesting purposes upon completing 1,000 Hours of Service during a Vesting Computation
Period. Hours of Service are calculated based on actual hours worked during the Vesting Computation Period. (See Section 1.67 of the Plan for the definition of Hours of Service.) 



 

	 	•	 	 Vesting Computation Period. The Vesting Computation Period is the Plan Year. 



 

	 	•	 	 Break in Service Rules. The Nonvested Participant Break in Service rule and One-Year Break in Service rules do NOT apply. (See Section 7.07
of the Plan.)

distribution from the Plan. (See Section 14.03(b) of the Plan for special rules upon Plan termination.) 

  

	 	 ̈ (2)	Lower Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution threshold. A terminated Participant will receive an Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution only if the Participant’s

vested Account Balance exceeds the Involuntary Cash-Out threshold for purposes of applying the distribution rules under this AA §9 and Section 8.04(a) of the Plan. To include Rollover Contributions for purposes of applying the Plan’s
distribution rules, check below.

 [Note: This (c) should be checked if a lower Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution is
selected in (a)(2) above in order to avoid the Automatic Rollover provisions described in Section 8.06 of the Plan. Failure to check this (c) could cause the Plan to be subject to the Automatic Rollover provisions if a Participant receives
a distribution attributable to Rollover Contributions that exceeds $1,000.] 
  

	 	(d)	Distribution upon attainment of stated age. A Participant must consent to a distribution from the Plan at any time prior to attainment of the Participant’s
Required Beginning Date. 

 To allow for involuntary distribution upon attainment of Normal Retirement Age (or age

 INTERIM AMENDMENT #1 

CODE §415 AMENDMENTS 

This Interim Amendment page contains the elective provisions for implementing the interim amendments set forth in Appendix B of the Plan. The interim
amendments are effective as set forth in Appendix B of the Plan and supersede any contrary provisions under the Plan or Adoption Agreement. These amendments do not replace any prior interim amendments that were adopted to comply with the remedial
amendment requirements applicable to these interim amendments. Thus, the date of adoption of such prior interim amendments will continue to control in determining the date as of which such amendments were first adopted to comply with these rules.
(See Section B-1.01 of the Plan.) 
  

	IA1-1	ELECTIVE PROVISIONS AFFECTING POST-SEVERANCE COMPENSATION. 

  

	 	(a)	Exclusion of post-severance compensation from Total Compensation. Total Compensation (as defined in Section 1.126 of the Plan) includes post-severance
compensation, to the extent provided in Section B-3.01(a) of the Plan. To exclude specific types of compensation paid after severance of employment, complete this subsection (a). 


The following amounts paid after a Participant’s severance of employment are excluded from Total Compensation. 

 

	 	 ̈ (1)	Unused leave payments. Payment for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave, but only if the Employee would have been able to use the leave if
employment had continued, 

  

	 	 ̈ (2)	Deferred compensation. Payments received by an Employee pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payment would have been
paid to the Employee at the same time if the Employee had continued in employment and only to the extent that the payment is includible in the Employee’s gross income. 


[Note: Plan Compensation (as defined in Section 1.90 of the Plan) includes any post-severance compensation amounts
that are includible in Total Compensation. The Employer may elect to exclude all compensation paid after severance of employment from the definition of Plan Compensation under AA §5-2(j) or may elect to exclude specific types of post-severance
compensation from Plan Compensation under AA §5-2(k).] 
  

	 	(b)	Continuation payments for military service and disabled Participants. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection (b), Total Compensation does not include
continuation payments for military service and disabled Participants. To count Total Compensation paid after severance of employment on account of military service and/or disability, check the appropriate selections under this subsection (b).


  

	 	 ̈ (1)	Payments for military service. Total Compensation includes amounts paid to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of
qualified military service to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service. See Section
B-3.01(b)(1) of the Plan. 

  

	 	 ̈ (2)	Payments to disabled Participants. Total Compensation shall include post-severance compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally disabled, as
provided in Section B-3.01(b)(2) of the Plan. For this purpose, disability continuation payments will be included for: 

  

	 	 ̈ (i)	Nonhighly Compensated Employees only 

  

	 	 ̈ (ii)	All Participants who are permanently and totally disabled for a fixed or determinable period 


 

	 	(c)	Special effective date provisions. 

  

	 	(1)	Earlier application of post-severance compensation rules. As provided in Section B-3.01(a) of the Plan, the post-severance compensation rules are effective for
Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007. To designate an earlier effective date for the post-severance compensation rules under Section B-3.01(a) of the Plan, complete this subsection (1). 


 

	 	 ̈	The post-severance compensation rules under Section B-3.01(a) of the Plan are effective for Limitation Years beginning on or
after         [may not be later than July 1, 2007]. 

  

	 	(2)	Effective date of compensation exclusions. As provided in Section B-3.01(a) of the Plan, the post-severance compensation rules are effective for Limitation Years
beginning on or after July 1, 2007. However, the exclusion of post-severance compensation from the definition of Total Compensation under subsection (b) may be effective at a different date. To designate a different effective date for the
exclusion of post-severance compensation, complete this subsection (2). 

  

	 	 ̈	The exclusion of post-severance compensation from Total Compensation under subsection (b) above is effective for Limitation Years beginning on or
after         .

	IA1-2	APPLICATION OF AMENDMENT. Pursuant to Section 5.01 of Revenue Procedure 2005-16, the amendments under Appendix B of the Plan and under this AA §IA1
have been adopted by the Prototype Sponsor on behalf of all adopting Employers. This amendment supersedes any contrary provisions under the Plan. No Employer signature is required by the Employer to adopt the interim amendments under Appendix B of

 [Note: Any schedule selected under the modified schedule must be at least as rapid as
the 3-year cliff or 6-year graded vesting schedule for all years. Any amendment to a vesting schedule must satisfy the requirements of Code §411(a)(7). Thus, for example, a plan using a 5-year cliff schedule generally may not switch to a 6-year
graded schedule. In such a case, the plan will need to use a 5-year graded schedule to comply with the vesting rules.] 
  

	 	(b)	Pre-2007 vesting schedule. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection (b), the vesting schedule elected under subsection (a) applies to all Employer
Contributions, including Employer Contributions made prior to the 2007 Plan Year. 

  

	 	 ̈	Check this subsection (b) to apply the PPA vesting schedule designated in subsection (a) above only to Employer Contributions made for Plan Years beginning on
or after January 1, 2007. For Employer Contributions made for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2007, the vesting schedule in effect under the Plan for such years continues to apply. 


 

	IA2-2	DIRECT ROLLOVER BY NON-SPOUSE BENEFICIARY. Unless designated otherwise under this AA §IA2-2, effective for distributions made on or after January 1,
2007, a non-spouse beneficiary (as defined in Code §401(a)(9)(E)) may elect to directly rollover an Eligible Rollover Distribution to an individual retirement account under Code §408(a) or an individual retirement annuity under Code
§408(b). 

  

	 	 ̈ (a)	Direct rollovers for non-spouse beneficiaries are NOT allowed for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2008. 


 

	 	 ̈ (b)	Direct rollovers for non-spouse beneficiaries are NOT allowed under the Plan. 

 [Note: It is possible based on informal guidance by the IRS that non-spousal rollovers will be mandatory for Plan Years s beginning on or after January 1, 2008. If IRS issues formal
guidance making non-spousal rollovers mandatory, any election under (b) will not apply to the extent such election is inconsistent with IRS guidance.] 
  

	IA2-3	HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless elected below, the hardship distribution provisions of the Plan do not apply with respect to primary beneficiaries. See Section
C-2.01(c) of the Plan. 

  

	 	 ̈	Check this AA §IA2-3 to apply the hardship distribution provisions of the Plan with respect to primary beneficiaries pursuant to Section C-2.01(c) of the Plan.


  

	 	 ̈ (a)	The provisions of Section C-2.01(c) of the Plan are effective for hardship distributions made on or after August 17, 2006. 


 

	 	 ̈ (b)	The provisions of Section C-2.01(c) of the Plan are effective for hardship distributions made on or after         (no
earlier than August 17, 2006).

	IA2-4	IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS FROM PENSION PLANS. If this Plan has accepted a transfer of assets from a pension plan (e.g., a money purchase plan), the distribution
restrictions applicable to such transferred assets continue to apply under this Plan. (See Section 14.05(c)(2) of the Plan.) Thus such amounts may not be distributed for reasons other than death, disability, attainment of Normal Retirement Age,
or termination of employment. However, if so elected under this AA §IA2-4, a Participant may receive an in-service distribution of amounts attributable to such transferred assets upon attainment of age 62. 


 

	 	 ̈	Check this provision if the Plan will permit in-service distributions of transferred assets from a pension plan to Participants who have attained age 62.


 [Note: This AA §IA2-4 should only be checked if the Plan holds assets that were
transferred from a pension plan such as a money purchase plan or target benefit plan. See Section 14.05 of the Plan.] 
  

	IA2-5	PERMISSIBLE WITHDRAWALS UNDER ELIGIBLE AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS (EACAs). If the Plan provides for an automatic deferral election under AA §6A-8
or qualifies as a QACA under AA §IA2-6, and the Plan satisfies the requirements for an EACA (as set forth in Section C-2.02(a) of the Plan), any Employee who has Salary Deferrals contributed to the Plan pursuant to an automatic deferral
election under the EACA may elect to withdraw such contributions (and earnings attributable thereto) in accordance with the requirements of Section C-2.02(b). 

 To override this provision to prohibit such permissible withdrawals, check this AA §IA2-5. 
  

	 	 ̈	Although the Plan contains an automatic deferral election that is designed to satisfy the requirements of an EACA under C-2.02 of the Plan, the permissible withdrawal
provisions under C-2.02(b) of the Plan are not available. Thus, an Employee who has amounts automatically deferred under the Plan may not withdraw such amounts prior to the date such amounts could otherwise be withdrawn had they been deferred at the
Employee’s election. 

  

	IA2-6	QUALIFIED AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENT (QACA). If elected under this AA §IA2-6, the Plan will apply the Qualified Automatic Contribution provisions
described below. If this AA §IA2-6 applies, the provisions of this Section override any contrary selections in AA §6A-8. 

  

	 	 ̈ (a)	Application of QACA provisions. Effective            , the QACA provisions under Section
C-2.03 of the Plan apply. 

 [Note: To qualify as a QACA, the requirements under Section C-2.03
must be satisfied for the entire Plan Year.] 
  

	 	(b)	Automatic deferral election. Upon becoming eligible to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan (pursuant to AA §3 and AA §4), a Participant will be deemed
to have entered into a Salary Deferral Election equal to the percentage identified in this subsection (b) for each payroll period, unless the Participant completes a contrary Salary Deferral Election (subject to the limitations under AA
§6A-2 and AA §6A-3) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator. Unless designated otherwise by the Participant, any Salary Deferrals made pursuant to an automatic deferral election will be treated as Pre-Tax Salary
Deferrals. 

  

	 	 ̈ (1)	Automatic deferral percentage.             % [must be at least 3% and no more than 10%] of
Plan Compensation. 

  

	 	 ̈ (2)	Automatic increase. If elected under this subsection (2), the automatic deferral amount will increase each Plan Year by the following amount:


  

	 	 ̈ (i)	    % of Plan Compensation 

  

	 	    	but not in excess of 

  

	 	 ̈ (ii)	    % of Plan Compensation 

  

	 	(3)	Timing of automatic increase. Unless elected otherwise under this subsection (3), any automatic increase selected in subsection (2) will commence as of the
second full Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant. See Section C-2.03(a) of the Plan. 


 

	 	 ̈	Delay in automatic increase. The automatic increase described above will not take effect until
the             full Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant. 


[Note: If the percentage entered in subsection (1) above is less than 6%, the Plan must provide for an automatic
deferral percentage of at least 4% for the second full Plan Year, 5% for the third full Plan Year and 6% for the fourth full Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a
Participant. See Section C-2.03(a) of the Plan.]

	 	(c)	Application of QACA provisions. Unless elected otherwise under this subsection (c), the QACA provisions under this AA §IA2-6 apply to all eligible
Participants who have not entered into an affirmative election (including an election not to defer) as of the effective date of the QACA rules, as set forth in subsection (a). 


 

	 	 ̈	The QACA provisions under this AA §IA2-6 apply to all Participants who have not entered into a Salary Deferral Election (as of the effective date designated in
subsection (a)) that is at least equal to the automatic deferral amount under subsection (b). [If this (c) is checked, any Participant who has entered into a Salary Deferral Election less than the automatic deferral percentage designated in
subsection (b) automatically will be increased to the automatic deferral amount as of the effective date of the QACA provisions.] 

  

	 	(d)	QACA Safe Harbor Contribution. To qualify as a QACA, the Employer must make a QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contribution or a QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution.
The QACA Safe Harbor Contribution elected under this AA §IA2-6(d) will be in addition to any Employer Contribution or Matching Contribution elected under the Plan. 


 

	 	 ̈ (1)	QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contribution. 

  

	 	(i)	QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contribution formula. 

  

	 	 ̈ (A)	Basic match: 100% of Salary Deferrals up to the first 1% of Plan Compensation, plus 50% of Salary Deferrals up to the next 5% of Plan Compensation.


  

	 	 ̈ (B)	 Enhanced match:     % (not less than 100%) of Salary Deferrals up to     % (not less than
3 1/2% and not more than 6%) of Plan Compensation.



  

	 	 ̈ (C)	Tiered match:     % of Salary Deferrals up to the first     % of Plan Compensation,


  

	 	 ̈ (I)	plus     % of Salary Deferrals up to the next     % of Plan Compensation, 


 

	 	 ̈ (II)	plus     % of Salary Deferrals up to the next     % of Plan Compensation. 


[Note: The tiered match may not provide for a greater level of match at higher levels of Salary Deferrals and the total
amount of Salary Deferrals eligible for a match may not exceed 6% of Plan Compensation. The tiered match must provide a matching contribution that is at least equivalent at all deferral levels to the basic match described in subsection (A).]

  

	 	(ii)	Period for determining QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contributions. The QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contribution formula selected in (i) above is based on Salary
Deferrals for the following period: 

  

							
	 ̈(A)	    	Plan Year.	  	 ̈(B)	    	payroll period.
				
	 ̈(C)	    	Plan Year quarter.	  	 ̈(D)	    	calendar month.

  

	 	 ̈ (2)	QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution:     % (not less than 3%) of Plan Compensation. 


 

	 	 ̈ (i)	Supplemental Safe Harbor notice. Check this selection if the Employer will make the QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution pursuant to a supplemental notice, as
described in Section 6.04(a)(4)(ii) of the Plan. 

 [Note: If this (i) is checked, the
QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution described above will be required for a Plan Year only if the Employer provides a supplemental notice (as described in Section 6.04(a)(4)(ii) of the Plan). If the Employer properly provides the QACA Safe
Harbor notice but does not provide a supplemental notice, the Employer need not provide the QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution described above. In such a case, the Plan will not qualify as a QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan for that Plan Year and
will be subject to ADP/ACP testing, as applicable.] 
  

	 	 ̈ (ii)	Other plan. Check this selection if the QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution will be made under another plan maintained by the Employer and identify the plan:


  

	 	(e)	Special vesting schedule for QACA Safe Harbor Contributions. 

  

	 	 ̈ (1)	Full and immediate 

  

	 	 ̈ (2)	2-year cliff vesting

Guidance

  

 INTERIM AMENDMENT #3 

AMENDMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE HEART ACT, WRERA AND OTHER IRS GUIDANCE 
 This Interim Amendment page contains the elective provisions for implementing the interim amendments set forth in Appendix D of the Plan. The interim amendments and any elections under these elective
provisions are effective as set forth in Appendix D of the Plan and supersede any contrary provisions under the Plan or Adoption Agreement. This Interim Amendment does not replace any prior amendments that were adopted to comply with the remedial
amendment requirements applicable to these interim amendments. Thus, the date of adoption of any prior interim amendments will continue to control in determining the date as of which such amendments were first adopted to comply with these rules.

  

	IA3-1	HEART ACT PROVISIONS. 

  

	 	(a)	Benefit Accruals. The benefit accrual provisions under Section D-2.01(b) of the Plan do not apply. To apply the benefit accrual provisions under Section
D-2.01(b) of the Plan, check the box below. 

  

	 	 ̈	Eligibility for Plan benefits. Check this box if the Plan will provide the benefits described in Section D-2.01(b) of the Plan. If this box is checked, an
individual who dies or becomes disabled in qualified military service will be treated as reemployed for purposes of determining entitlement to benefits under the Plan. 


 

	 	(b)	Treatment of Differential Pay. Section D-2.01(c) of the Plan provides that if an individual performing service in the Uniformed Services receives Differential
Pay from the Employer, such Differential Pay is treated as Total Compensation under the Plan. In addition, unless designated otherwise below, Differential Pay will be treated as Plan Compensation for purposes of applying the contribution provisions
under the Plan. To exclude Differential Pay from Plan Compensation, check the box below. 

  

	 	 ̈	Definition of Plan Compensation. Check this box if Differential Pay will be excluded from the definition of Plan Compensation. If this box is checked, no
contribution under the Plan will be made with respect to Differential Pay. 

 [Note: The
exclusion of Differential Pay from the definition of Plan Compensation may cause the definition of Plan Compensation to fail to satisfy the safe harbor requirements under Treas. Reg. §1.414(s).] 

 

	IA3-2	REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION. For purposes of applying the Required Minimum Distribution rules for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year, as described in Section
D-2.02 of the Plan, a Participant (including an Alternate Payee or beneficiary of a deceased Participant) who is eligible to receive a Required Minimum Distribution for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year may elect whether or not to receive the 2009
Required Minimum Distribution (or any portion of such distribution). If a Participant does not specifically elect to leave the 2009 Required Minimum Distribution in the Plan, such distribution will be made for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year as
set forth in Section D-2.02 of the Plan. 

  

	 	 ̈	No distribution. If this box is checked, 2009 Required Minimum Distributions will not be made to Participants who are otherwise required to receive a Required
Minimum Distribution for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year under Section 8.12 of the Plan, unless the Participant elects to receive such distribution. 


 

	IA3-3	PROVISIONS TO COMPLY WITH FINAL AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION REGULATIONS. 


 

	 	(a)	Permissive Withdrawals under Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement. Section C-2.02(b) of the Plan allows a Participant to make a permissive withdrawal of
amounts that are automatically contributed to the Plan, provided the Employee requests a withdrawal no later than 90 days after the date the Plan Compensation from which such Salary Deferrals are withheld would otherwise have been included in gross
income. To provide for a shorter period by which a Participant must elect a permissive withdrawal from the Plan, check the box below. 

  

	 	 ̈	Time period for electing a permissive withdrawal. Instead of a 90-day election period, a Participant must request a permissive withdrawal no later than
    [may not be less than 30 or more than 90] days after the date the Plan Compensation from which such Salary Deferrals are withheld would otherwise have been included in gross income. 


 

	 	(b)	Effective date of automatic increase. The automatic increase provisions under AA §6A-8(b) or AA §IA2-6, as applicable, are generally effective as of
the beginning of a Plan Year (as set forth in Sections 3.03(c) and C-2.03(a) of the Plan. The first automatic increase occurs as of the appropriate date within the second full Plan Year following the Plan Year in which automatic contributions begin
under the Plan. To provide for the automatic increase as of a different date during the Plan Year, check the box below: 

  

	 	 ̈ (1)	Automatic increase during Plan Year. Instead of becoming effective on the first day of the Plan Year, the automatic increase provisions under AA §6A-8(b) or
AA §IA2-6, as applicable, will be effective on             of each Plan Year.

HEART Act, WRERA and
 Other IRS Guidance


  


	 	 ̈ (2)	Timing of first automatic increase. Instead of applying as of a date within the second full Plan Year following the Plan Year in which automatic contributions
begin, the first automatic increase under AA §6A-8(b) or AA §IA2-6, as applicable, will apply as of the appropriate date within the first full Plan Year following the date the automatic contributions begin under the Plan.


  

	 	(c)	Treatment of Rehires. In applying the provisions of Sections D- 2.03(b) and D-2.03(d)(2) of this amendment, a Participant is treated as a new Employee if no
automatic deferrals are made to the Plan for a full Plan Year. To override this provision, check the box below. 

  

	 	 ̈	Rehired Employees. In applying the provisions of Sections D-2.03(b) and D-2.03(d)(2) of this amendment, a Participant who does not make automatic deferrals to
the Plan for a full Plan Year will not be treated as a new Employee if such Employee should recommence making automatic deferrals under the Plan. Thus, the Participant’s minimum deferral percentage will continue to be calculated based on the
date the individual first began making automatic deferrals under the Plan. 

  

	IA3-4	APPLICATION OF AMENDMENT. Pursuant to Section 5.01 of Revenue Procedure 2005-16, the amendments under Appendix D of the Plan and under this AA §IA3
have been adopted by the Sponsor on behalf of all adopting Employers. This amendment supersedes any contrary provisions under the Plan. No signature is required by the Employer to adopt the interim amendments under Appendix D of the Plan and under
this AA §IA3, unless the Employer has selected an elective provision under this AA §IA3. If the Employer has designated any elective provisions under this AA §IA3, the Employer must sign this Interim Amendment page. The amendments
under Appendix D of the Plan and under this AA §IA3 apply to the signatory Employer and all Participating Employers under the Plan.

 Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. 401(k) Investment Plan 

Addendum to Adoption Agreement 

This Addendum supplements Section 6-2(a) of the Adoption Agreement: 
 In connection with a confidential settlement agreement between the Employer and/or its ERISA affiliates and the National labor Relations Board (the “NLRB”), the Employer has made a discretionary
employer contribution no later than October 15, 2010 as follows: 
 Eligibility for Discretionary Contribution: This discretionary
contribution will be allocated to Plan Participants who (i) are union employees, (ii) completed at least 1,000 hours of service during 2008 and/or 2009, (iii) have received eligible compensation from the Employer during either 2008 or 2009, (iv)
otherwise qualify for the discretionary matching contribution under the terms of the Plan as in effect on September 21, 2010, (v) are employed at the Employer’s Lumiere Place or President Casino and (vi) were employed on the date that the
Employer entered into the final Settlement Agreement with the NLRB (the “Settlement Agreement”). 
 Allocation of Discretionary
Contribution: This discretionary contribution amount shall be allocated as set forth in the Settlement Agreement. Generally, under the Settlement Agreement, the contribution shall be allocated among eligible Plan Participants (as described
above) using the matching contribution formula as would have been in effect for the 2008 Plan Year and the 2009 Plan Year but for the Employer’s amendment ceasing such matching contribution, plus an amount to reflect an assumed 60.95%
investment rate of return for the portion of the contribution allocation related to the 2008 Plan year for the period from March 25, 2009 through September 21, 2010, and plus an amount to reflect an assumed 17.38% investment rate of return for the
portion of the contribution allocation related to the 2009 Plan year for the period from March 25, 2010 through September 21, 2010. 
 Other
Terms and Conditions: The other terms and conditions relative to this contribution shall be as set forth in the Settlement Agreement and, if not addressed in the Settlement Agreement, then as set forth in the Plan document as in effect on
September 21, 2010.
