Amendments to the Plan
1.         Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective January 1, 2020, Section 9.04(a) is amended by adding the following at the end thereof:
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the required beginning date will be determined effective with respect to required minimum distributions required to be made on and after January 1, 2020 for Members who attain age 701⁄2 after such date by substituting age 72 for age 701⁄2 in each place such age appears. For purposes of determining a Member’s required beginning date, a Member will be treated as a more than 5-percent owner if he or she was a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416 of the Code) as to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year the Member attains age 72.
2.         Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective January 1, 2020, Section 9.04(c) is amended by deleting paragraph (ii) in its entirety and inserting in its place the following:
(ii)        "Distribution calendar year" means a calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required.  The first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which the applicable Member in active service attains age 701⁄2 (or age 72 in the case of minimum distributions required on or after January 1, 2020 for Members who attain age 701⁄2 after such date).


3.         Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective January 1, 2020, Section 9.04 of the Plan is amended by adding the following Subsection (d) at the end thereof:

Member and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence will be given the opportunity to elect to stop receiving the distributions described in the preceding sentence.


a.Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.04(d)(i), a Member or Beneficiary whose first required minimum distribution is a 2020 RMD that would have been required to be distributed but for the enactment of section 401(a)(9)(I) of the Code and who would have satisfied the requirement to receive minimum required distributions for 2020 by receiving distributions that are (i) equal to the 2020 RMDs or (ii) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2020 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Member, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Member and the Member's designated Beneficiary or for a period of at least 10 years, will not receive those distributions for 2020, unless the Member or Beneficiary chooses to receive such distributions. Members and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence will be given the opportunity to elect to receive the distributions described in the preceding sentence.
