Dear Applicant:

In our opinion, the form of the plan identified above is acceptable under
section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code for use by employers for the
benefit of their employees. This opinion relates only to the acceptability of
the form of the plan under the Internal Revenue Code. It is not an opinion of
the effect of other Federal or local statutes.

You must furnish a copy of this letter to each employer who adopts this plan.
You are also required to send a copy of the approved form of the plan, any
approved amendments and related documents to Employee Plans Determinations in
Cincinnati at the address specified in section 9.11 of Rev. Proc. 2000-20,
2000-6 I.R.B. 553.

This letter considers the changes in qualifications requirements made by the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (GATT), Pub. L. 103-465, the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-188, the Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, Pub. L. 103-353, the Taxpayer Relief Act of
1997, Pub. L. 105-34, the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform
Act of 1998, Pub. L. 105-206 and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000,
Pub. L. 106-554. These laws are referred to collectively as GUST.

Our opinion on the acceptability of the form of the plan is not a ruling or
determination as to whether an employer's plan qualifies under Code section
401(a). However, an employer that adopts this plan may rely on this letter with
respect to the qualification of its plan under Code section 401(a), as provided
for in Announcement 2001-77, 2001-30 I.R.B. and outlined below. The terms of the
plan must be followed in operation.

Except as provided below, our opinion does not apply with respect to the
requirements of: (a) Code sections 401(a)(4), 401(a)(26), 401(1), 410(b) and
414(s). Our opinion does not apply for purposes of Code section 401(a)(10)(B)
and section 401(a)(16) if an employer ever maintained another qualified plan for
one or more employees who are covered by this plan. For this purpose, the
employer will not be considered to have maintained another plan merely because
the employer has maintained another defined contribution plan(s), provided such
other plan(s) has been terminated prior to the effective date of this plan and
no annual additions have been credited to the account of any participant under
such other plan(s) as of any date within the limitation year of this plan.
Likewise, if this plan is first effective on or after the effective date of the
repeal of Code section 415(e), the employer will not be considered to have
maintained another plan merely because the employer has maintained a defined
benefit plan(s), provided the defined benefit plan(s) has been terminated prior
to the effective date of this plan. Our opinion also does not apply for purposes
of Code section 401(a)(16) if, after December 31, 1985, the employer maintains a
welfare benefit fund defined in Code section 419(e), which provides
postretirement medical benefits allocated to separate accounts for key employees
as defined in Code section 419A(d)(3).

Our opinion applies with respect to the requirements of Code section 410(b) if
100 percent of all nonexcludable employees benefit under the plan. Employers
that elect a safe harbor allocation formula and a safe harbor compensation
definition can also rely on an opinion letter with respect to the
nondiscriminatory amounts requirement under section 401(a)(4) and the
requirements of sections 401(k) and 401(m) (except where the plan is a safe
harbor plan under section 401(k)(12) that provides for the safe harbor
contribution to be made under another plan).

An employer that elects to continue to apply the pre-GUST family aggregation
rules in years beginning after December 31, 1996, or the combined plan limit of
section 415(e) in years beginning after December 31, 1999, will not be able to
rely on the opinion letter without a determination letter. The employer may
request a determination letter by filing an application with Employee Plans
Determinations on Form 5307, Application for Determination for Adopters of
Master or Prototype or Volume Submitter Plans.

The form of the plan is a nonstandardized safe harbor plan that meets the
requirements of section 4.14 of Rev. Proc. 2000-20, 2000-6 I.R.B. 553.
