requirements or 6 months after meeting the preceding requirements, will not receive the
ADP Safe Harbor Contribution.





The ADP Test Safe Harbor Contribution is:




	 	o c.	 	The Basic Matching Contribution of 100% of the Elective Deferral that does
not exceed 3% of Compensation, plus 50% of the Elective Deferral that exceeds 3% of

PART I




ARTICLE I



INTRODUCTION


1.1.1 Adoption and Title. The parties hereby adopt a Plan and the Trust Agreement to be
known by the names set forth in the Adoption Agreement.



1.1.2 Effective Date. The provisions of this Plan and the Trust shall be effective as
of the Effective Date set forth in the Adoption Agreement.



1.1.3 Purpose. This Plan and the Trust are established for the purpose of providing
retirement benefits to Eligible Employees in accordance with the Plan and the Adoption Agreement.
If the Employer designates the Plan as a Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (CODA) in the
Adoption Agreement, the Plan is also intended to enable Eligible Employees to supplement their
retirement by electing to have the Employer contribute amounts to the Plan and the Trust in lieu of
payments to such Employees in cash and the Plan and the Trust are intended to satisfy the
provisions of Code section 401(k).





 









 








ARTICLE II




DEFINITIONS


As used in this Plan, the Trust, and the Adoption Agreement, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:



“Account” One or more accounts, as listed in Section 3.1.1, established as necessary by the Plan
Administrator and maintained to account for assets held for the benefit of a Participant.



“ACP” The Actual Contribution Percentage determined in accordance with the provisions of Part II,
Article VII.



“ACP Test Safe Harbor Account” An Account established and maintained for a Participant for
accounting purposes with respect to his share of ACP Test Safe Harbor Contributions.



“ACP Test Safe Harbor Contributions” Matching Contributions described in Section 2.9.4.



“Act” The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time.



“ADP” The Actual Deferral Percentage determined in accordance with the provisions of Part II,
Article VII.



“ADP Test Safe Harbor Account” An Account established and maintained for a Participant for
accounting purposes with respect to his share of ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions.



“ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions” Matching Contributions and Non-Elective Contributions
described in Section 2.9.3.



“Alternate Payee” Any spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant who is
recognized by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as having a right to receive all, or a portion
of, the benefits payable under this or any other plan of the Employer with respect to such
Participant.



“Anniversary Date” Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, the last day of each Plan
Year.



Short Form. The Anniversary Date is the last day of the Plan Year.



“Annuity Starting Date” The first day of the first period for which an amount is paid as an
annuity or any other form.



“Beneficiary” The person or persons entitled hereunder to receive the benefits that may be payable
upon or after a Participant’s death pursuant to Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2.



“Break in Service” The failure of an Employee to complete more than five hundred (500) Hours of
Service or such lesser number specified in the Adoption Agreement during any twelve (12)
consecutive month computation period. The computation period used for a Year of Service shall be
used to determine a Break in Service for that purpose, and the same computation period used for a
Year of Vesting Service shall be used to determine a Break in Service for purposes of vesting
service. Under the Elapsed Time Method of service counting, the term “one year Period of Severance”
shall be substituted for the term “1 year Break in Service.” The computation periods shall be
specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form. For purposes of determining Break in Service, the above default provisions shall apply.
For this purpose, the Eligibility Computation Periods following the initial period shall begin the
first day of the Plan Year that commences prior to the first anniversary of the Employee’s
Employment Commencement Date.



“Catch-up Contributions” Elective Deferrals made to the Plan that are in excess of an otherwise
applicable Plan limit and that are made by Participants who are age fifty (50) or over by the end
of the applicable taxable year. See Section 2.2.2(c) for further discussion of Catch-up
Contributions.





 









 







“Code” The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.



“Compensation” The compensation as defined in this Section and as specified in the Adoption
Agreement (or Earned Income in the case of a Self-Employed Individual) that is actually paid to the
Participant by the Employer during a Compensation Computation Period. The Employer shall elect in
the Adoption Agreement whether Compensation shall include or exclude any amount that is contributed
by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and that is not includible in the gross
income of the Employee under Code sections 125, 132(f)(4) 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b). The
Employer may also elect to include Deemed Section 125 Compensation.



If elected in the Adoption Agreement, Compensation for a Participant who is permanently and totally
disabled (as defined in Code section 22(e)(3)) is the Compensation such Participant would have
received for the Limitation Year if the Participant had been paid at the rate of Compensation paid
immediately before becoming permanently and totally disabled.



Short Form. For the Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreements a Participant’s Compensation shall
be equal to total compensation that is actually paid to the Participant by the Employer during the
Plan Year and includes all information required to be reported under Code sections 6041, 6051, and
6052 (wages, tips, and other compensation as reported on Form W-2). Compensation includes wages,
(within the meaning of Code section 3401(a)) and all other payments of compensation to an Employee
by the Employer (in the course of the Employer’s trade or business) for which the Employer is
required to furnish the Employee a written statement under Code sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and
6052. Such compensation must be determined without regard to any rules under Code section 3401(a)
that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or
the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code section 3401(a)(2)).
In the case of a Self-Employed Individual, Compensation means Earned Income during such period.
Compensation for a Participant’s initial year of participation shall be Compensation from the
Participant’s Entry Date.



For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1989, and before January 1, 1994, the annual
Compensation of each Participant taken into account for determining all benefits provided under the
Plan for any Plan Year shall not exceed $200,000. This limitation shall be adjusted by the
Secretary of the Treasury at the same time and in the same manner as under Code section 415(d),
except that the dollar increase in effect on January 1 of any calendar year is effective for Plan
Years beginning in such calendar year and the first adjustment to the $200,000 limitation is
effective on January 1, 1990.



For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994 and before January 1, 2002, the annual
Compensation of each Participant taken into account for determining all benefits provided under the
Plan for any Plan Year shall not exceed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000), as
adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17)(B). The
cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any Compensation Computation
Period beginning in such calendar year.



For any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001, the annual Compensation of each Participant
taken into account in determining allocations shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for
cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17)(B). Annual Compensation means
compensation during a Compensation Computation Period, which is either the Plan Year or such other
consecutive twelve (12) month period over which compensation is otherwise determined under the
Plan. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual Compensation
for the Compensation Computation Period that begins with or within such calendar year.



If a Compensation Computation Period consists of fewer than twelve (12) months, the annual
Compensation limit is an amount equal to the otherwise applicable annual Compensation limit
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short Compensation
Computation Period, and the denominator of which is twelve (12).



If Compensation for any prior Compensation Computation Period is taken into account in determining
a Participant’s allocations for the current Plan Year, the Compensation for such prior Compensation
Computation Period is subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect for that prior
period. For this purpose, in determining allocations in Plan Years beginning on or after January 1,
1989, the annual compensation limit in





 









 







effect for Compensation Computation Periods beginning before that date is two hundred thousand
dollars ($200,000). In addition, in determining allocations in Plan Years beginning on or after
January 1, 1994, the annual compensation limit in effect for Compensation Computation Periods
beginning before that date is one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).



For purposes of Code sections 403(b)(3), 415(c)(3), and 457(e)(5), an Employee who is in Qualified
Military Service shall be treated as receiving Compensation from the Employer during such period of
Qualified Military Service equal to: (A) the Compensation the Employee would have received during
such period if the Employee were not in Qualified Military Service, determined based on the rate of
pay the Employee would have received from the Employer but for absence during the period of
Qualified Military Service, or (B) if the Compensation the Employee would have received during such
period was not reasonably certain, the Employee’s average Compensation from the Employer during the
12-month period immediately preceding the Qualified Military Service (or, if shorter, the period of
employment immediately preceding the Qualified Military Service).



“Compensation Computation Period” The period specified as the Compensation Computation Period in
the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement. The Compensation Computation Period for a Participant’s
initial Plan Year of Participation shall be Compensation from the Participant’s Entry Date.



“Controlled Account” An Account established and maintained for a Participant for accounting
purposes over which he is permitted, under the terms of the Plan and the Plan’s investment policy,
to exercise investment control.



“Deductible Voluntary Account” An Account established and maintained for a Participant for
accounting purposes with respect to his Voluntary Employee Contributions that were deductible by
the Participant at the time they were made.



“Deemed IRA Account” (Deemed IRA) An Account established and maintained for a Participant for
accounting purposes that meets the applicable requirements for an Individual Retirement Account
under Sections 2.2.5 (Deemed Pre-tax IRA), 2.2.6 (Deemed Roth IRA) and Code sections 408(q) and
408A to which he may make Deemed IRA Contributions.



“Deemed IRA Contribution” A Participant contribution designated as an IRA contribution to a Deemed
IRA Account. Deemed IRA Contributions include Pre-tax IRA Contributions and Roth IRA Contributions.



“Deemed Section 125 Compensation” An amount not available to a Participant in cash in lieu of
group health coverage because the Participant is unable to certify that he has other health
coverage. An amount will be treated as an amount under Code section 125 only if the Employer does
not request or collect information regarding the Participant’s other health coverage as part of the
enrollment process for the health plan.



“Designated Beneficiary” The individual or Trust that is designated as the Beneficiary under the
Plan and who is a designated beneficiary under Code section 401(a)(9) and Treasury Regulations
section 1.401(a)(9)-4.



“Direct Rollover” A payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the
Distributee.



“Disability” Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, an Employer may elect
in the Adoption Agreement to specify the meaning of Disability.



For standardized plans, an Employee has a Disability as of the date that the Plan Administrator
determines that such person suffers from a medically determinable physical or mental impairment
that may be expected to result in death or to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve
(12) months and that renders him incapable of performing his duties. However, the Plan
Administrator shall consider an Employee to have a Disability for purposes of the Plan if the
Social Security Administration has determined that such person is eligible to receive Social
Security disability benefits.



Short Form. An Employee or Participant has a Disability if he suffers from a medically determinable
physical or mental impairment that may be expected to result in death or to last for a continuous
period of not less than 12 months and that renders him incapable of performing his duties or the
Social Security Administration has





 









 







determined that he is eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits or he has begun to
receive payments under the long term disability program or a comparable disability program
maintained by the Employer.



For all plans, any determination required to be made by the Plan Administrator in connection with
the permanence and degree of a physical or mental impairment shall be made in a uniform and
nondiscriminatory manner based on medical evidence.



“Disabled” An Employee is Disabled if he has a Disability.



“Distributable Benefit” The benefit to which a Participant is entitled following termination of
his employment.



“Distributee” An Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s
surviving spouse and the Employee’s or the former Employee’s spouse or former spouse who is an
Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, are Distributees with regard to the
interest of the spouse or former spouse.



“Distribution Determination Date” The date as of which the Distributable Benefit of a Participant
is determined, as discussed in Section 2.5.5.



“Early Retirement Age” The age specified as the Early Retirement Age, if any, in the Adoption
Agreement.



“Early Retirement Date” The date specified as the Early Retirement Date, if any, in the Adoption
Agreement.



“Earned Income” The net earnings from self-employment in the trade or business with respect to
which the Plan is established for which personal services of the Participant are a material
income-producing factor. Net earnings shall be determined without regard to items not included in
gross income and the deductions allocable to such items but with regard to the deduction allowed to
the taxpayer by Code section 164(f). Net earnings shall be reduced by contributions to a qualified
plan to the extent deductible under Code section 404.



“Elapsed Time Method” A method of measuring service for purposes of eligibility to participate,
vesting, and contribution allocations that determines service by reference to the total period of
time that elapses while the Employee is employed (i.e., while the employment relationship exists)
with the Employer or Employers maintaining this Plan. The Adoption Agreement may specify different
methods to determine service for purposes of vesting, participation, and benefit accrual. Treasury
Regulation section 1.410(a)-7 provides additional detail about the application of this method.





	(a)	 	General rule. For purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, an Employee’s service
begins on his Employment Commencement Date, and service is counted until his Severance From
Service Date, as such terms are defined in Subsection (f) below.
	 
	(b)	 	“Service spanning” The following rules apply for purposes of eligibility to participate and
vesting.






	 	(1)	 	The Period of Severance from the date an Employee severs employment due to a quit,
discharge, or retirement to the date the Employee again performs an Hour of Service,
within the meaning of Labor Regulations section 2530.200b-2(a)(1), counts as a Period of
Service unless such Period of Severance is twelve (12) months or longer.
	 
	 	(2)	 	If an Employee is absent from service for less than twelve (12) months for any other
reason (e.g., layoff) and then quits, is discharged, or retires, the period of time during
which the Employee may return and receive credit begins on the Severance From Service Date
and ends one (1) year after the first day of absence (e.g., first day of layoff).
	 
	 	(3)	 	If an Employee returns to service more than twelve (12) months after the date that
service first ended, then such date shall be a Reemployment Commencement Date and the Plan
shall resume counting the Employee’s service from that date and shall not count the
intervening Period of Severance.




 









 








	 	 	 	As a result of the operation of these rules, a severance from service (e.g., a quit), or an
absence (e.g., layoff) followed by a severance from service, never results in a period of time
of more than one (1) year being required to be taken into account after an Employee severs from
service or is absent from service.






	(c)	 	Additional Rules regarding Vesting.






	 	(1)	 	An Employee is credited with a number of Years of Vesting Service equal to the number
of whole years of the Employee’s Period of Service, whether or not the Employee completed
such Periods of Service consecutively.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The whole years of an Employee’s Period of Service are determined by aggregating any
non-successive Periods of Service and by aggregating any less than whole year Periods of
Service (whether or not consecutive) on the basis that twelve (12) Months of Service or
three hundred sixty-five (365) days of service equal a whole Year of Vesting Service.
Fractional months are aggregated into Months of Service.
	 
	 	(3)	 	After calculating an Employee’s Period of Service in the manner prescribed in this
Subsection, any remaining service that is less than a whole year, 12-month, or 365-day
Period of Service is disregarded for purposes of determining an Employee’s nonforfeitable
percentage of accrued benefits derived from Employer Contributions.






	(d)	 	Contribution Allocations. For purposes of contribution allocations, an Employee’s service is
taken into account from his Participation Commencement Date until his Severance From Service
Date. Periods of Severance under any circumstances are not taken into account.
	 
	(e)	 	Break in Service Exception. If an Employee is absent from work for maternity or paternity
reasons, the 12-consecutive month period ending on the first anniversary of the first day of
such absence shall not constitute a Break in Service. For purposes of this Subsection, an
absence of work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence: (1) due to the Employee’s
pregnancy, (2) due to the birth of the Employee’s child, (3) due to a child’s placement with
the Employee as part of the Employee’s adoption of such child, or (4) to care for a child for
a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.
	 
	(f)	 	Definitions.






	 	(1)	 	Severance From Service Date: A “severance from service” occurs on the earlier of:






	 	(i)	 	The date on which an Employee quits, retires, is discharged, or dies; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The first anniversary of the first date of a period in which an Employee
remains absent from service (with or without pay) with the Employer or Employers
maintaining the Plan for any reason other than a quit, retirement, discharge or
death, such as vacation, holiday, sickness, Disability, leave of absence, or layoff.






	 	(2)	 	Reemployment Commencement Date: The first date, following a Period of Severance from
service that is not required to be taken into account under the service spanning rules of
Subsection (b), on which the Employee performs an Hour of Service within the meaning of
Labor Regulations section 2530.200b-2(a)(1) for the Employer or Employers maintaining this
Plan.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Participation Commencement Date: The date a Participant first commences participation
under the Plan.
	 
	 	(4)	 	Period Of Severance: The period of time commencing on the Severance From Service Date
and




 









 






	 	 	 	ending on the date on which the Employee again performs an Hour of Service within the
meaning of Labor Regulations section 2530.200b-2(a)(1) for an Employer or Employers
maintaining this Plan.
	 
	 	(5)	 	Period of Service:






	 	(i)	 	General Rule: The period commencing on the Employee’s Employment
Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement Date, whichever is applicable, and
ending on the Severance from Service Date.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Aggregation Rule: Periods of Service shall be aggregated unless such
periods may be disregarded under Code sections 410(a)(5) or 411(a)(4).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Month of Service: Thirty (30) days are deemed to be a Month of Service.




“Elective Account” An Account established and maintained for a Participant for accounting purposes
with respect to his Elective Deferrals.



“Elective Deferrals” Any Employer contributions made to the Plan at the election of the
Participant or operation of the Plan, in lieu of cash compensation, including a contribution made
pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or other deferral mechanism.



With respect to any taxable year, a Participant’s Elective Deferrals are the sum of all Employer
contributions made on behalf of the Participant pursuant to an election to defer under any
qualified CODA as described in Code section 401(k), any simplified employee pension cash or
deferred arrangement as described in Code section 408(k)(6), any SIMPLE IRA Plan described in Code
section 408(p), any plan as described under Code section 501(c)(18), and any employer contributions
made on the behalf of a Participant for the purchase of an annuity contract under Code section
403(b) pursuant to a salary reduction agreement. Elective Deferrals shall not include any deferrals
properly distributed as Excess Annual Additions.



For years beginning after 2005, the term “Elective Deferrals” includes Pre-tax Elective Deferrals
and Roth Deferrals.



“Eligibility Computation Period” For purposes of determining Years of Service and Breaks in
Service for purposes of eligibility, the initial Eligibility Computation Period is the twelve (12)
consecutive month period beginning with the Employee’s Employment Commencement Date, and unless
otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, the subsequent Eligibility Computation Periods are
each subsequent twelve (12) consecutive month period commencing on the annual anniversary of such
date.



If in accordance with the election in the Adoption Agreement, the subsequent periods commence with
the first Plan Year that commences prior to the first anniversary of the Employee’s Employment
Commencement Date, an Employee who is credited with one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service in both
the initial Eligibility Computation Period and the first Plan Year that commences prior to the
first anniversary of the Employee’s initial Eligibility Computation Period shall be credited with
two (2) Years of Service for purposes of eligibility to participate.



Short Form. The Eligibility Computation Periods following the initial period shall begin the first
day of the Plan Year that commences prior to the first anniversary of the Employee’s Employment
Commencement Date.



“Eligible Employee” An Employee who has met the eligibility requirements of the Plan.



Short Form. Standardized Plans shall exclude any Employee who is a non-resident alien (within the
meaning of Code section 7701(b)(1)(B) deriving no earned income (within the meaning of Code section
911(d)(2)) from the Employer that constitutes income from sources within the United States (within
the meaning of Code section 861(a)(3)); and employees who are included in the unit of Employees
covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the Employer and employee representatives,
provided benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining and two percent (2%) or less of the
employees of the Employer who are covered pursuant to that agreement are “professional employees”
as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.410(b)-9. For this





 









 







purpose, the term “employee representatives” does not include any organization more than half of
whose members are Employees who are owners, officers, or executives of the Employer.



“Eligible Retirement Plan” An eligible plan under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a
state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political
subdivision of a state and that agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan
from this Plan, an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a), an individual
retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code section
403(a), an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b), or a qualified plan described in Code
section 401(a), that accepts the Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution. The definition of
Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or
to a spouse or former spouse who is an Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic Relation Order.
If any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution is attributable to payments or distributions
from a designated Roth Account, an Eligible Retirement Plan with respect to such portion shall
include only another designated Roth Account of the individual from whose account the payments or
distributions were made, or a Roth IRA of such individual.



“Eligible Rollover Distribution” Any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the
credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: any
distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently
than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or
joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee’s Designated Beneficiary, or for a
specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required
under Code section 401(a)(9); any Hardship distribution; the portion of any other distribution that
is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized
appreciation with respect to employer securities); and any other distribution that is reasonably
expected to total less than two hundred dollars ($200) during a year.



A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because
the portion consists of after-tax Employee contributions that are not includible in gross income.
However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity
described in Code sections 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in
Code sections 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred,
including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is includible in gross
income and the portion of such distribution that is not so includible.



“Employee” A person who is currently or hereafter employed by the Employer, or by any other
employer aggregated under Code sections 414(b), (c), (m), (n), or (o) and the regulations
thereunder, including a Leased Employee subject to Code section 414(n) and a self-employed owner of
an unincorporated employer, but, unless otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement, excluding (a)
an Employee who is a non-resident alien (within the meaning of Code section 7701(b)(1)(B) deriving
no earned income (within the meaning of Code section 911(d)(2)) from the Employer that constitutes
income from sources within the United States (within the meaning of Code section 861(a)(3)); and
(b) employees who are included in the unit of Employees covered by a collective bargaining
agreement between the Employer and employee representatives, provided benefits were the subject of
good faith bargaining and two percent (2%) or less of the employees of the Employer who are covered
pursuant to that agreement are “professional employees” as defined in Treasury Regulations section
1.410(b)-9. For this purpose, the term “employee representatives” does not include any organization
more than half of whose members are Employees who are owners, officers, or executives of the
Employer.



Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, if the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to
exclude Employees who became Employees as the result of a “Code section 410(b)(6)(C) transaction,”
then such Employees shall not be “Eligible Employees” prior to the expiration of the transition
period beginning on the date of the transaction and ending on the last day of the first Plan Year
beginning after the date of the transaction. A “Code section 410(b)(6)(C) transaction” is an asset
or stock acquisition, merger, or similar transaction involving a change in the Employer of the
Employees of a trade or business. However, if a separate trade or business becomes a Related
Employer as the result of a “Code section 410(b)(6)(C) transaction,” then Employees of such Related
Employer will not be treated as “Eligible Employees” prior to the date the entity adopts the Plan
as a participating Employer. For purposes of this Section, “Related Employer” means any trade or
business related to the Employer by the application of Code sections 414(b), (c), (m), (n), or (o).
In the case of a standardized plan, affected Employees shall become eligible to participate on the
earlier of the adoption of this Plan by such separate entity or the expiration of the transition
period.



Short Form. Employees who became Employees as the result of a “Code section 410(b)(6)(C)
transaction,”





 









 







shall not be considered “Eligible Employees” prior to the expiration of the transition period
described in the above paragraph.



In the case of non-standardized plans, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,
individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as Employees of the Employer for purposes of
the Employer’s payroll system (including, without limitation, individuals employed by temporary
help firms, technical help firms, staffing firms, employee leasing firms, professional employer
organizations, or other staffing firms whether or not deemed to be “common law” Employees or Leased
Employees are not considered to be Eligible Employees of the Employer and shall not be eligible to
participate in the Plan. The preceding sentence shall not apply in the case of the Employer out
sourcing its human resource functions for Employees that the Employer would otherwise treat as
“common law’ Employees. In the event any such individuals are reclassified as Employees for any
purpose, including without limitation, common law or statutory employees, by any action of any
third party, including, without limitation, any government agency, or as a result of any private
lawsuit, action, or administrative proceeding, such individuals shall notwithstanding such
reclassification, remain ineligible for participation hereunder. Notwithstanding foregoing, the
exclusive means for individuals who are not contemporaneously classified as an Employee of the
Employer on the Employer’s payroll system to become eligible to participate in this Plan is through
an amendment to this Plan, duly executed by the Employer, that specifically renders such
individuals eligible for participation hereunder.



This Plan is to be construed to exclude all individuals who are not considered Employees for
purposes of the Employer’s payroll system, and the Plan Administrator is authorized to do so,
despite the fact that its decision may result in the inadvertent loss of the Plan’s tax
qualification requiring an amendment of the Plan’s eligibility provisions.



“Employer” The Employer that is a party to this Plan, or any of its affiliates, successors or
assigns that adopt the Plan; provided, however, that no mere change in the identity, form, or
organization of the Employer shall affect its status under the Plan in any manner, and, if the name
of the Employer is hereafter changed, a corresponding change shall be deemed to have been made in
the name of the Plan and references herein to the Employer shall be deemed to refer to the Employer
as it is then known.



“Employer Account” An Account established and maintained for a Participant for accounting purposes
with respect to his share of Employer Contributions, Non-Elective Contributions, and Forfeitures.



“Employer Contribution” A contribution by the Employer to a money purchase pension plan, target
benefit plan, or profit sharing plan other than a cash or deferred profit sharing plan.

within the meaning of Labor Regulations section 2530.200b-2(a)(1) for the Employer or Employers
maintaining this Plan.



“Entry Date” The date or dates specified as the Entry Date in the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form. The Entry Dates for Short Form standardized plans shall be the first day of the Plan
Year or the first day of the seventh calendar month of the Plan Year coincident with or next
following satisfaction of the eligibility requirements.



“Excess Aggregate Contributions” With respect to any Plan Year, the excess of:





	(a)	 	The aggregate contribution percentage amounts taken into account in computing the numerator
of the contribution percentage actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for
such Plan Year, over
	 
	(b)	 	The maximum contribution percentage amounts permitted by the ACP test (determined by
hypothetically reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order
of their contribution percentages beginning with the highest of such percentages). Such
determination shall be made after first determining Excess Elective Deferrals and then
determining Excess Contributions, as required in Part II, Article VII.




 









 










“Excess Annual Addition” The portion of the allocation of contributions and Forfeitures that
cannot be added to a Participant’s Accounts due to the limitations on Annual Additions contained in
Part III, Article II.



“Excess Contributions” With respect to any Plan Year, the excess of:





	(a)	 	The aggregate amount of Employer contributions actually taken into account in computing the
ADP of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over
	 
	(b)	 	The maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the ADP test (determined hypothetically
by reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their
contribution percentages, beginning with the highest of such percentages).




“Excess Elective Deferrals” Those Elective Deferrals that are made either:





	(a)	 	During the Participant’s taxable year and exceed the dollar limitation under such Code
section 402(g) (including, if applicable, the dollar limitation on Catch-up Contributions
defined in Code section 414(v)) for such year) or a lesser limitation set by the Adoption
Agreement; or
	 
	(b)	 	During a calendar year and exceed the dollar limitation under Code section 402(g) (including,
if applicable, the dollar limitation on Catch-up Contributions defined in Code section 414(v))
for the Participant’s taxable year beginning in such calendar year, or a lesser limitation set
by the Adoption Agreement, counting only Elective Deferrals made under this Plan and any other
plan, contract, or arrangement maintained by the Employer.




Excess Elective Deferrals shall be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan, unless such amounts
are distributed no later than the first April 15 following the close of the Participant’s taxable
year.



“Fiduciary” The Plan Administrator, the Trustee, and any other person who has discretionary
authority or control in the management of the Plan or the disposition of Trust assets.

“Highly Compensated Employee” (HCE) Any Employee during a Plan Year who:





	(a)	 	Was a 5-Percent Owner of the Employer at any time during the year or the preceding year, or
	 
	(b)	 	For the preceding year






	 	(1)	 	Had “compensation” from the Employer in excess of eighty thousand dollars ($80,000)
(as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Code section 415(d)), and
	 
	 	(2)	 	If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement the application of this clause for
such preceding year, was in the top-paid group of Employees for such preceding year.




For this purpose, an Employee is in the top-paid group of Employees for any year if such Employee
is in the





 









 







group consisting of the top twenty percent (20%) of the Employees when ranked on the basis of
compensation paid during such year.



For these purposes, the applicable year of the Plan for which a determination is being made is
called a “determination year” and the preceding twelve (12) month period is called a “look-back
year.”



The determination of whether an Employee had compensation in excess of eighty thousand dollars
($80,000), as adjusted, shall be made based on compensation paid during the preceding Plan Year,
unless the Employer has made a calendar year data election in the Adoption Agreement. The effect of
the calendar year data election is that the look-back year becomes the calendar year beginning with
or within the look-back year.



The top-paid group election and the calendar year data election must apply consistently to the
determination years of all plans of the Employer.



Short Form. The top-paid group election shall always apply.



Generally, a former Employee shall be treated as a Highly Compensated Employee if:





	(1)	 	Such Employee was a Highly Compensated Employee when such Employee separated from service or
	 
	(2)	 	Such Employee was an active Highly Compensated Employee for any Plan Year that ended on or
after the Employee’s fifty-fifth (55th) birthday.




The determination of whether a former Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee shall be based on
the rules applicable to determining Highly Compensated Employee status as in effect for that
determination year, in accordance with temporary Treasury Regulations sections 1.414(q)-1T, A-7 and
A-4 and Notice 97-45.



The Plan Administrator shall apply rules to determine who is a Highly Compensated Employee as set
forth in an administrative policy, so long as such rules are reasonable, nondiscriminatory, and
uniformly and consistently applied.



“Hour of Service” An hour for which:





	(a)	 	The Employee is paid, or entitled to payment by the Employer for the performance of duties.
These hours will be credited to the Employee for the computation period in which the duties
are performed.
	 
	(b)	 	The Employee is paid or entitled to payment by the Employer during which no duties are
performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to
vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including Disability), layoff, jury duty, military
duty, or leave of absence. These hours will be credited to the Employee for the computation
period during which no duties are performed, beginning with the first Hour of Service to which
the payment relates. No more than 501 Hours of Service will be credited under this Subsection
for any single continuous period (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation
period).
	 
	(c)	 	Back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, has been either awarded or agreed to by the
Employer. These hours will be credited to the Employee for the period to which the award or
agreement pertains rather than the period in which the award, agreement, or payment is made.




Hours of Service shall not be credited under both (a) and (b), above, as the case may be, and under
(c) above. Notwithstanding the preceding, no Hours of Service shall be credited to the Employee by
reason of a payment made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with
applicable worker’s compensation, or unemployment compensation or disability insurance laws, and no
Hours of Service shall be credited by reason of a payment that solely reimburses an Employee for
medical or medically related expenses incurred by the Employee. The determination of Hours of
Service for reasons other than the performance of duties and the crediting of Hours of Service to
computation periods shall be made in accord with the provisions





 









 







of Labor Regulations sections 2530.200b-2(b) and (c) that are incorporated herein by reference.



Solely for the purposes of determining whether an Employee has incurred a Break in Service, an
Employee shall be credited with the number of Hours of Service that would otherwise have been
credited to such individual but for the absence, and in any case in which such hours cannot be
determined, with eight (8) Hours of Service for any day that the Employee is absent from work by
reason of the Employee’s pregnancy, the birth of a child of the Employee, the placement of a child
with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee or for purposes of
caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. Such
Hours of Service shall be credited in the computation period in which the absence from work begins
if such crediting is necessary to prevent the Employee from incurring a Break in Service in such
period, and in any other case, in the immediately following computation period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no credit shall be given for such service unless the Employee furnishes to the Plan
Administrator information to establish that the absence from work is for the reasons indicated and
the number of days for which there was such an absence.



In the event the Employer does not maintain records of the actual hours for which an Employee is
paid or entitled to payment, credit for service shall be given in accordance with the method
selected in the Adoption Agreement.



Service with another business entity that is, along with the Employer, a member of a controlled
group of corporations under Code section 414(b), an affiliated service group under Code section
414(m) or trades or businesses under common control under Code section 414(c), or that is otherwise
required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to Code section 414(o) and the regulations
issued thereunder shall be treated as service for the Employer. Hours of Service shall be credited
for any individual considered an Employee for purposes of this Plan under Code sections 414(n) or
414(o) and the regulations issued thereunder.



If elected in the Adoption Agreement, service for a predecessor to the Employer, whether as an
Employee or a self-employed person, will be treated as service for the Employer. If the Employer
maintains the plan of a predecessor employer, service with such predecessor shall be treated as
service for the Employer.



If elected in the Adoption Agreement, service with a prior employer whether as an Employee or a
self-employer person will be treated as service for the Employer for legitimate business purposes
so long as the grant of such service does not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated
Employees. Service with a prior employer shall be limited to 5 years.



“Insurer” Any insurance company that has issued a Life Insurance Policy.



“Integration Level” The Integration Level shall be equal to the Taxable Wage Base or such lesser
amount specified in the Adoption Agreement. The Integration Level shall be deemed to be the full

of the Compensation Computation Period or he terminated service prior to the end of the
Compensation Computation Period.



“Joint and Survivor Annuity” An annuity for the life of the Participant with a survivor annuity

shall be determined by averaging (on a monthly basis) the Compensation received by the Participant
during the Participant’s entire period of participation in the Plan, as elected in the Adoption
Agreement.



For the purpose of determining Average Monthly Compensation, all Compensation shall be included,
except the following Compensation may be excluded: Compensation received before the first day of
the Compensation Computation Period that ends within the initial Plan Year of participation,
Compensation received during the Compensation Computation Period in which the Participant attains
Normal Retirement Age, Compensation received during the Compensation Computation Period in which
the Participant terminates employment with the Employer and Compensation received during the
Compensation Computation Period in which the Plan terminates.



“Base Benefit Percentage” The rate, expressed as a percentage of Compensation, at which
Employer-derived benefits are accrued with respect to Compensation of Participants at or below the
Integration Level for the Plan Year.



“Covered Compensation” A Participant’s Covered Compensation for a Plan Year is the average
(without indexing) of the Taxable Wage Bases in effect for each calendar year during the 35-year
period ending with the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant attains (or will
attain) Social Security Retirement Age. Covered Compensation will be determined based on the year
designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.



If elected in the Adoption Agreement, Covered Compensation for Plan Years beginning prior to 1995
shall be the average (without indexing) of the Taxable Wage Bases for the thirty-five (35) calendar
years ending with the year prior to the calendar year an individual attains Social Security
Retirement Age.



In determining a Participant’s Covered Compensation for a Plan Year, the Taxable Wage Base in
effect for the current Plan Year and any subsequent Plan Year will be assumed to be the same as the
Taxable Wage Base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year for which the determination is
being made.



A Participant’s Covered Compensation for a Plan Year before the 35-year period ending with the last
day of the calendar year in which the Participant attains Social Security Retirement Age is the
Taxable Wage Base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year. A Participant’s Covered
Compensation for a Plan Year after such 35-year period is the Participant’s Covered Compensation
for the Plan Year during which the 35-year period ends.



Short Form. Covered compensation will be determined for the 35-year period ending on the last day
of the calendar year in which the Participant attains (or will attain) Social Security Retirement
Age.



“Current Target Benefit” For each Participant, the product of: (1) the amount derived from the
formula designated in the Adoption Agreement, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Participant’s number of Years of Participation from the latest Fresh-Start Date, if any, through
and including the later of the year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age or the
current Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the Participant’s total Years of Projected
Participation.



If this Plan has not had a Fresh-Start Date, such fraction will equal one (1.0) for all
Participants. In any event, for those Participants who first participated in the Plan after the
latest Fresh-Start Date, such fraction shall equal one (1.0). For purposes of determining the
numerator in the fraction above, only those current and prior years during which a Participant was
eligible to receive a contribution under the Plan will be taken into account.






 









 







For purposes of determining a Participant’s Current Target Benefit, a Participant’s total Years of
Projected Participation under the Plan is the sum of (1) and (2), where (1) is the number of years
during which the Participant benefited under this Plan beginning with the latest of: (a) the first
Plan Year in which the Participant benefited under the Plan, (b) the first Plan Year taken into
account in the stated benefit formula, and (c) any Plan Year immediately following a Plan Year in
which the Plan did not satisfy the safe harbor for target benefit plans in Treasury Regulations
section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(3), and ending with the last day of the current Plan Year, and (2) is the
number of years, if any, subsequent to the current Plan Year through the end of the Plan Year in
which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age.



“Excess Benefit Percentage” The Excess Benefit Percentage is the rate, expressed as a percentage
of Compensation, at which Employer-derived benefits are accrued with respect to Compensation of
Participants above the Integration Level for the Plan Year.



“Final Average Compensation” The average of the Participant’s annual Compensation, as defined in
Part I, Article II, from the Employer for the three consecutive year period ending with or within
the Plan Year; provided, that if a Participant terminates employment before the last day of a Plan
Year, the Participant’s Final Average Compensation shall be determined based on the Participant’s
most recently completed three consecutive year period; and provided further, that if a
Participant’s entire period of employment for the Employer is less than three consecutive years,
the Participant’s Final Average Compensation shall be determined by averaging (on an annual basis)
the Compensation received by the Participant from the Employer during the Participant’s entire
period of employment for the Employer.



Compensation for any year in excess of the Taxable Wage Base in effect at the beginning of such
year shall not be taken into account. No increase in Final Average Compensation will decrease a
Participant’s Target Benefit under the Plan.



“Fresh-Start Date” The last day of a Plan Year preceding a Plan Year for which provisions that
would affect the amount of the Current Target Benefit are amended.



“Frozen Accrued Target Benefit” The benefit determined as of the Plan’s latest Fresh-Start Date as
if the Participant terminated employment with the Employer as of that date, without regard to any
amendment made to the Plan after that date.



A Participant’s Frozen Accrued Target Benefit is equal to the amount of the Current Target Benefit
in effect on the latest Fresh-Start Date that a Participant has accrued as of that date, assuming
that such Current Target Benefit accrues ratably from the year in which the Participant first
participated in this Plan (or, if later, the preceding Fresh-Start Date under this Plan) through
and including the Plan Year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age.



The amount of the Current Target Benefit in effect on the latest Fresh-Start Date that a
Participant is assumed to have ratably accrued is determined by multiplying the Plan’s Current
Target Benefit formula in effect on that date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of Years of Participation from the later of the Participant’s first Year of Participation in this
Plan or the preceding Fresh-Start Date, if any, through and including the year that contains the
latest Fresh-Start Date, and the denominator of which is the number of Years of Participation from
the later of the Participant’s first Year of Participation in this Plan or the preceding
Fresh-Start Date, if any, through and including the later of the year in which the Participant
attains Normal Retirement Age or the current Plan Year. For purposes of this paragraph, only those
Years of Participation during which a Participant was eligible to receive a contribution under the
Plan will be taken into account.



If this Plan has had a preceding Fresh-Start Date, each Participant’s Frozen Accrued Target Benefit
as of the latest Fresh-Start Date will equal the sum of the amount of the Current Target Benefit in
effect on the latest Fresh-Start Date that a Participant is assumed to have ratably accrued as of
that date under the preceding paragraph, and the Frozen Accrued Target Benefit determined as of the
preceding Fresh-Start Date.



If: (1) the Current Target Benefit formula in effect on the latest Fresh-Start Date was not
expressed as a Straight Life Annuity for all Participants, and/or (2) the Normal Retirement Age for
any Participant on the latest Fresh-Start Date was greater than the Normal Retirement Age for that
Participant under the Current Target Benefit formula in effect after the latest Fresh-Start Date,
the Frozen Accrued Target Benefit will be converted to an actuarially equivalent Straight Life
Annuity commencing at the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age under





 









 







the Current Target Benefit formula in effect after the latest Fresh-Start Date, using the actuarial
assumptions in effect under the Current Target Benefit formula in effect on the latest Fresh-Start
Date.



Notwithstanding the above, if in the immediately preceding Plan Year this Plan did not satisfy the
safe harbor for target benefit plans in Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(4)-(8)(b)(3) or was
not a prior safe harbor plan, the Frozen Accrued Target Benefit for any Participant in the Plan,
determined for the next Plan Year during which section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(3) is satisfied until the
year following the next Fresh-Start Date, if any, will be zero.



Prior safe harbor plan means a plan adopted and in effect on September 19, 1991, that satisfied the
applicable nondiscrimination requirements for target benefit plans on that date and in all prior
periods (taking into account no amendments to the Plan after September 19, 1991, other than
amendments necessary to satisfy Code section 401(l)).



“Social Security Retirement Age” Age sixty-five (65) if the Participant attains age sixty-two (62)
before January 1, 2000 (i.e., born before January 1, 1938), age sixty-six (66) if the Participant
attains age sixty-two (62) after December 31, 1999, but before January 1, 2017 (i.e., born after
December 31, 1937, but before January 1, 1955), and age sixty-seven (67) if the Participant attains
age sixty-two (62) after December 31, 2016 (i.e., born after December 31, 1954).



A Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age (“SSRA”) is based on the Participant’s year of birth
as follows:




	 	 	 
	Year of Birth	 	SSRA
	1937 or earlier	 	65
	1938 through 1954	 	66
	after 1954	 	67





“Target Benefit” The monthly benefit, expressed as a Straight Life Annuity, without a term
certain, refund feature, or survivor benefit, as set forth in the Adoption Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s actual benefit at any time shall be the value of his
Employer Account.



“Year of Participation” Each year with the Employer with respect to which benefits are treated as
accruing on behalf of the Participant for such year pursuant to Section 2.2.1 of the Plan.



“Year of Projected Participation” The sum of (1) and (2), where (1) is the number of years during
which the Participant benefited under this Plan beginning with the latest of: (a) the first Plan
Year in which the Participant benefited under the Plan, (b) the first Plan Year taken into account
in the Target Benefit formula, and (c) any Plan Year immediately following a Plan Year in which the
Plan did not satisfy the safe harbor for target benefit plans in Treasury Regulations section
1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(3), and ending with the last day of the current Plan Year, and (2) is the number
of years if any, subsequent to the current Plan Year through the end of the Plan Year in which the
Participant attains Normal Retirement Age.



For purposes of this definition of Years of Projected Participation, if this Plan is a prior safe
harbor plan, the Plan is deemed to satisfy the safe harbor for target benefit plans in Treasury
Regulations section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(3) and a Participant is treated as benefiting under the Plan
in any Plan Year beginning prior to January 1, 1994.





 









 








PART II




ARTICLE I



PARTICIPATION


2.1.1 Eligibility Requirements. Each Employee shall be eligible to participate in this Plan
and receive an appropriate allocation of contributions upon satisfying the eligibility requirements
set forth in the Adoption Agreement.



2.1.2 Commencement of Participation. An eligible Employee shall become a Participant
in the Plan on the applicable Entry Date selected in the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form. The Entry Dates for Short Form standardized plans shall be the first day of the Plan
Year or the first day of the seventh calendar month of the Plan Year coincident with or next
following satisfaction of the eligibility requirements.



2.1.3 Participation Upon Re-Employment.





	(a)	 	Re-Employment After Satisfying Eligibility Requirements
	 
	 	 	A Participant whose employment terminates and who is subsequently re-employed shall re-enter
the Plan as a Participant immediately on the date of his reemployment. In the event that an
Employee completes the eligibility requirements set forth in the Adoption Agreement but his
employment terminates prior to becoming a Participant and he is subsequently re-employed after
the date that he would have become a Participant, such Employee shall be deemed to have met the
eligibility requirements as of the date of his re-employment and shall become a Participant on
the date of his re-employment. If such Employee is re-employed prior to the date he would have
become a Participant if his employment had not terminated, he shall become a Participant as of
the date he would have become a Participant if his employment had not terminated.
	 
	(b)	 	Re-Employment Before Satisfying Eligibility Requirements
	 
	 	 	Except as provided in the next paragraph, an Employee who has not met the eligibility
requirements and whose employment terminates and who is subsequently reemployed shall become a
Participant in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.
	 
	 	 	If the Plan has an eligibility requirement longer than one year, an Employee who terminates
after completing a Year of Service and is subsequently reemployed prior to incurring a Break in
Service shall receive credit for that Year of Service for purposes of eligibility under
Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. However, an Employee who incurs a Break in Service shall not receive
credit for that Year of Service for the year prior to the break.




2.1.4 Termination of Participation. An Employee who has become a Participant shall
remain a Participant until the entire amount of his Distributable Benefit is distributed to him or
his Beneficiary in the event of death.



2.1.5 Plan Administrator’s Determination. In the event any question arises regarding
the





 









 







eligibility of any person to become a Participant or the commencement of participation, the Plan
Administrator shall determine such question and the Plan Administrator’s decision shall be
conclusive and binding.



2.1.6 One-time Election Not to Participate.





	(a)	 	Employees who made an election not to participate in this Plan or any other plan of the
Employer pursuant to (b) and (c) below shall continue to be excluded from this Plan on and
after the date the Plan is restated for the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act
of 2001 (EGTRRA). An election not to participate shall not be permitted on or after the date
this Plan is timely restated for EGTRRA.
	 
	(b)	 	With respect to nonstandardized plans only, and notwithstanding anything contained in the
Plan to the contrary, an Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to permit an Employee to
make an election not to participate in the Plan. The election must:






	 	(1)	 	Include plans not yet established;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Be for the duration of the Employee’s employment with the Employer;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Be a one-time irrevocable election;
	 
	 	(4)	 	Be made no later than the first date an Employee becomes eligible under the Plan or
any plan or arrangement of the Employer that is described in Code section 219(g)(5)(A)
(whether or not such other plan or arrangement has terminated).






	 	 	Such a one-time irrevocable election described in this Section shall not be treated as having
been made pursuant to a cash or deferred election.






	(c)	 	In the case of an irrevocable election made on or before December 23, 1994:






	 	(1)	 	The election does not fail to be treated as a one-time irrevocable election under
this Section merely because an Employee was previously eligible under another plan of the
Employer (whether or not such other plan has terminated); and
	 
	 	(2)	 	In the case of a plan in which partners may participate, the election does not fail
to be treated as a one-time irrevocable election under this Section merely because the
election was made after the partner’s commencement of employment or after the Employee
first became eligible under any plan of the Employer, provided that the election was made
before the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1988, or, if
later, March 31, 1989.




2.1.7 Change in Status. If any Participant continues in the employ of the Employer or
an affiliate for which service is required to be taken into account but ceases to be a member of an
eligible class of Employees for any reason (such as becoming covered by a collective bargaining
agreement unless the collective bargaining agreement otherwise provides) the Participant shall
continue to be a Participant until the entire amount of his benefit is distributed but the
individual shall be deemed not to have completed any “Years of Service” (or “Years of
Participation” in the case of a Target Benefit Plan) for purposes of Article IV (“Vested Benefits”)
during the period that the Participant is not an Eligible Employee for such reason. Such
Participant shall continue to receive credit for Years of Vesting Service completed during the
period for purposes of determining his vested and nonforfeitable interest in his Accounts. In the
event that the individual subsequently again becomes a member of an eligible class of Employees,
the individual shall participate immediately upon the date of such change in status. If such
Participant incurs a Break in Service and is subsequently reemployed, eligibility to participate
shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.1.3. In the event that an individual who is not a
member of an eligible class of Employees becomes a member of an eligible class, the





 









 







individual shall participate immediately if such individual has satisfied the eligibility
requirements and would have otherwise previously become a Participant and shall receive credit for
Years of Vesting Service completed while in the ineligible class for purposes of determining his
vested and non-forfeitable interest in his Accounts.



Any Participant who ceases to be a member of an eligible class of Employees and would otherwise be
entitled to a Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution shall have any such contribution based on Compensation
while a member of an eligible class of Employees.



2.1.8 Existing Participants. An Employee who, on the Effective Date, was a Participant
under the provisions of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be a
Participant on the Effective Date and the provisions of Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, pertaining to
participation, shall not be applicable to such Employee unless such Employee is excluded from
participation because such Employee is a member of an excluded class, as provided in Section 2.1.7.
The rights of a Participant whose employment terminated prior to the Effective Date shall be
determined under the provisions of the Plan as in effect at the time of such termination.



2.1.9 Elapsed Time Method. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to use any
of the optional service counting methods permitted within the Plan for eligibility to participate,
vesting, and benefit accrual. Thus, for example, service for eligibility may be determined by
counting actual hours worked, while service for vesting could be determined either by the
equivalencies as provided in the Adoption Agreement or by the Elapsed Time Method.



2.1.10 Qualified Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to Qualified Military Service
will be provided in accordance with Code section 414(u) and applicable DOL and Treasury rules and
regulations





 









 








ARTICLE II




CONTRIBUTIONS


2.2.1 Employer Contributions.





	(a)	 	Amount of Contribution.






	 	(1)	 	Money Purchase Pension Plan. The Employer shall contribute to the Trust Fund each
Plan Year such amount, including any Forfeitures to be applied, as set forth in the
Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Profit Sharing Plan. The Employer may contribute to the Trust Fund each Plan Year
such amount as elected in the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	 	Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement. The Employer’s Contribution to the Plan shall
be discretionary, and not limited to profits.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan.






	 	(i)	 	Amount of Non-Elective Contribution. The Employer shall contribute to the
Trust Fund each Plan Year such amount as a Non-Elective Contribution as the Employer
elected in the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	 	Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement. The Employer’s Non-Elective Contribution
to the Plan shall be discretionary, and not limited to profits.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Amount of Matching Contribution. Subject to applicable limitations
provided by the Plan, the Employer shall contribute to the Trust Fund each Plan Year
with respect to the amount of Elective Deferrals on behalf of each electing Employee,
a Matching Contribution determined in the manner set forth in the Adoption Agreement,
to the extent permitted under Code section 401(m). If elected in the Adoption
Agreement, Catch-up Contributions will not be treated as Elective Deferrals in the
calculation of Matching Contributions. If the Participants’ Elective Deferral
elections are made on an annual basis, but Elective Deferrals are taken from
Compensation on some other basis, the Employer must True-Up Matching Contributions at
the end of the Plan Year to an annual basis unless elected otherwise in the Adoption
Agreement.
	 
	 	 	 	Short Form. Catch-up contributions will be matched at the same rate as Elective
Deferrals.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Amount of Qualified Non-Elective Contribution and Qualified Matching
Contribution. The Employer may contribute to the Trust Fund each Plan Year such
amount as a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution or Qualified Matching Contribution as
the Employer may determine. In addition, if the Employer has elected in the Adoption
Agreement to use the Current Year Testing Method, in lieu of distributing Excess
Contributions or Excess Aggregate Contributions as provided in Article VII below, and
to the extent elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer may
make Qualified Non-Elective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions on
behalf of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees that are




 









 






	 	 	 	sufficient to satisfy either the ADP test or the ACP test, or both, pursuant to
regulations under the Code.






	 	(4)	 	Target Benefit Plan. For each Plan Year, the Employer shall contribute for each
eligible Participant the annual Employer Contribution necessary to fund the Target
Benefit. Such amount is determined by amortizing the excess of the present value of the
Target Benefit over the theoretical reserve for each Participant according to the
following procedure:






	 	(i)	 	The present value of the Target Benefit is determined by multiplying the
Target Benefit by the applicable factor in Table I (based on the Participant’s Normal
Retirement Age and the interest rate and mortality table selected in the Adoption
Agreement) and by the applicable factor in Table II (based on the number of years the
Participant’s Normal Retirement Age exceeds his current age and the interest rate
selected in the Adoption Agreement).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	For the last day of the Participant’s first year (the first Valuation Date
of the Participant), the theoretical reserve is zero. In subsequent years (Valuation
Dates) the theoretical reserve equals the prior year’s theoretical reserve plus the
prior year’s contribution (as limited by Code section 415, but without regard to any
required minimum contribution under Code section 416) accumulated with interest for
one (1) year at the rate specified in the Adoption Agreement, provided that in any
Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement
Age, such interest shall be zero (interest rate of zero percent.
	 
	 	 	 	In the case of a Participant in a plan that determines the Target Benefit in part on
service prior to the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1,
1994, the theoretical reserve as of the last day of the last Plan Year beginning prior
to January 1, 1994, shall be determined below; provided such Target Benefit Plan was
adopted and effective on September 19, 1991, and such plan met the nondiscrimination
requirements in effect for all Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1994.






	 	(A)	 	Determine the present value of the Target Benefit in effect as of
the last day of the last Plan Year beginning prior to January 1, 1994 based on
the interest and mortality assumptions in effect on such date. For a Participant
whose attained age exceeds his Normal Retirement Age, such present value shall be
calculated assuming his age equals his Normal Retirement Age.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Determine the present value of future contributions as of the last
day of the same date (including the contribution for such Plan Year) based on the
interest rate in effect on such date. For this purpose only, such contribution
shall be the contribution determined by the plan on such date without regard to
the limitation of Code section 415 or any required minimums of Code section 416.
	 
	 	(C)	 	The theoretical reserve as of the last day of the last Plan Year
beginning before January 1, 1994 shall equal the amount determined in item A less
the amount determined in item B. The theoretical reserve as of the last day of
the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994 shall be such
theoretical reserve plus the contribution for the prior Plan Year (as determined
in item B) increased for interest at the interest rate in effect for the prior
year. For a Participant whose attained age exceeds his Normal Retirement Age,
such interest shall be zero (interest rate of zero percent).






	 	(iii)	 	A Participant’s contribution equals the excess of (i) over (ii) (but not
less than zero) multiplied by the applicable factor in Table III (based on the number
of years the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age exceeds his current age and the
interest rate selected in the Adoption Agreement).




 









 






	 	(iv)	 	If the Plan is amended to change the interest rate or mortality table, the
applicable factors in Tables I, II, and III will be based on the new assumptions in
the valuation coincident with or next following the effective date of the amendment.
The theoretical reserve in (ii) above will be accumulated with the old interest rate
for such valuation and the new interest rate for all subsequent valuations.






	 	(5)	 	Prevailing Wage Contribution Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
2.2.1, the required prevailing wage contribution shall always be made.
	 
	 	(6)	 	In-Kind Contributions The contribution of property, other than Qualifying Employer
Securities, to a profit sharing plan shall be permitted, so long as the contribution is
discretionary and the property is unencumbered. The contribution of Qualifying Employer
Securities shall be permitted to a pension plan subject to the requirements of ERISA
section 408(e).






	(b)	 	Limitation. The Employer’s Contribution for any Plan Year shall not exceed the maximum
amount deductible from the Employer’s income for such year for federal income tax purposes
under the applicable Code sections.
	 
	(c)	 	Time of Contribution. All Employer Contributions shall be delivered to the Trustee not later
than the date fixed by law for the filing of the Employer’s federal income tax return for the
Year for which such contribution is made (including any extensions of time granted by the
Internal Revenue Service for filing such return).
	 
	(d)	 	Determination of Amount to be Final. The Employer’s determination of the amount of its
contribution hereunder shall be in all respects final, binding, and conclusive on all persons
or parties having or claiming any rights under this Agreement or under the Plan and the Trust
created hereby. Under no circumstances and in no event shall any Participant, Beneficiary, or
other person or party have any right to examine the Employer’s books or records. This
subparagraph shall not operate to limit any right to review granted by ERISA.




2.2.2 Elective Deferrals Contributed by the Employer on Behalf of Electing Employees.





	(a)	 	Amount of Deferrals. If the Plan is designated in the Adoption Agreement as a Cash or
Deferred Profit Sharing Plan, each Participant may elect to have the Employer contribute to
the Trust on his behalf for any Plan Year during which he is a Participant such amounts
expressed either in dollars or in whole percentages of his Compensation as he may elect that
would otherwise be payable by the Employer as Compensation. If permitted in the Adoption
Agreement, all or a portion of such Deferrals may be designated Roth Deferrals by the
Participant. Such amount cannot exceed the dollar limitation on Elective Deferrals provided by
Code section 402(g) in effect at the beginning of the taxable year. In the case of a
Participant age fifty (50) or over by the end of the taxable year, Elective Deferrals that do
not exceed the dollar limitation described in the preceding sentence may also include any
Elective Deferrals that are treated as Catch-up Contributions (described in Subsection (c)
below) because of another limitation.
	 
	 	 	For taxable year 2006, the dollar limitation is $15,000 (not including the separate limit on
Catch-up Contributions). For subsequent taxable years, the Secretary of the Treasury will
adjust the dollar limitation in multiples of $500 for cost-of-living increases under Code
section 402(g)(4).
	 
	 	 	Nevertheless, the Employer may impose reasonable limitations in a uniform, nondiscriminatory
manner on the amounts contributed in order to satisfy applicable legal requirements and to
ensure the deductibility of amounts contributed by the Employer to the Plan and any other
qualified plan of deferred compensation. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to
limit Elective Deferrals made on behalf of electing Employees to a percentage of Compensation
that is less than the amount otherwise allowable by Code




 









 






	 	 	section 402(g).
	 
	 	 	Short Form. Standardized Plans. There shall be a special election provided for bonuses.






	(b)	 	Automatic Compensation Reduction (ACR). If elected in the Adoption Agreement, an Employee
who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan and does not affirmatively elect to receive
cash or have a specified amount contributed to the Plan shall have his Compensation
automatically reduced by the amount elected in the Adoption Agreement. This amount shall be
contributed to the Plan as a Pre-tax Elective Deferral. A Participant can elect not to make
Elective Deferrals or to defer a different percentage of Compensation at any time.
	 
	 	 	The ACR is effective for the first pay period and subsequent pay periods (until superseded by a
Participant’s subsequent election) if filed when the Employee is hired or if filed within a
reasonable period thereafter ending before the Compensation for the first pay period is
currently available. Elections filed at a later date are effective for payroll periods
beginning in the month next following the date the election is filed. At the time an Employee
is hired, the Employee must receive a notice that explains the ACR and the Employee’s right to
elect to have no such ACR made or to alter the amount of those reductions, including the
procedure for exercising that right and the timing for implementation of any such election. The
Employee must be notified annually of his ACR and the Employee’s right to change that
percentage.
	 
	 	 	Unless elected otherwise in the Adoption Agreement, if a current Participant files an election
to receive cash in lieu of an Elective Deferral during the reasonable period ending on the
first day of the Plan Year, then the Participant’s Compensation shall not be reduced for the
first pay period beginning on or after the first day of the Plan Year or for subsequent pay
periods until the Participant makes a subsequent affirmative Elective Deferral election..
	 
	 	 	If elected in the Adoption Agreement, a current Participant who (i) has an Elective Deferral
election in effect for less than the ACR amount elected in the Adoption Agreement, or (ii) has
no Elective Deferral election in effect, and who does not make an Elective Deferral election
during the reasonable period ending on the first day of any Plan Year, shall have his
compensation automatically reduced by the ACR amount beginning on the first pay period that
begins after the first day of the Plan Year. If that Participant thereafter makes an
affirmative election to reduce his compensation by another amount (or no amount), then that
affirmative election will be effective for pay periods beginning in the month following the
date the Participant files the election with the Plan Administrator.
	 
	 	 	A Participant that is subject to an Automatic Compensation Reduction (ACR) shall have the
amount of the ACR increased by the rate elected in the Adoption Agreement, unless elected
otherwise by the Participant, beginning the first day of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which an ACR first became effective. The total increase of the ACR shall be
limited as elected in the Adoption Agreement.






	(c)	 	Catch-up Contributions. If elected in the Adoption Agreement for taxable years after 2001, a
Participant may make Catch-up Contributions, which are Elective Deferrals made to the Plan
that exceed an otherwise applicable Plan limit and that are made by Participants who are age
fifty (50) or over by the end of the applicable taxable year. An otherwise applicable Plan
limit is a limit in the Plan that applies to Elective Deferrals without regard to Catch-up
Contributions, such as the limits on Annual Additions (see Section 3.2.1), the dollar
limitation on Elective Deferrals under Code section 402(g) (not counting Catch-up
Contributions), and the limit imposed by the ADP test under Code section 401(k)(3) (see
Section 2.7.1), or any Employer-provided limit on the amount of Elective Deferrals. Catch-up
Contributions for a Participant for a taxable year may not exceed the lesser of:






	 	(1)	 	The dollar limit on Catch-up Contributions under Code section 414(v))(2)(B)(i) for
the taxable year; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	When added to the Participant’s other Elective Deferrals, seventy-five percent (75%)
of the Participant’s Compensation for the taxable year.




 









 






	 	 	 	All Catch-up eligible Participants shall be provided with an effective opportunity to make the
same dollar amount of Catch-up Contributions.
	 
	 	 	 	For taxable year 2006, the dollar limit is $5,000. For taxable years after 2006, the Secretary
of the Treasury will adjust the dollar limit in multiples of $500 for cost-of-living increases
under Code section 414(v)(2)(c).
	 
	 	 	 	Catch-up Contributions are not subject to the limits on Annual Additions, are not counted in
the ADP test, are not counted in determining the Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation (see Subsection
2.6.1(a)), and are not subject to any Employer-provided limit on the amount of Elective
Deferrals. However, Catch-up Contributions made in prior years are counted in determining
whether the Plan is Top-Heavy. (See Sections 2.6.1 and 2.6.2.)
	 
	 	 	 	Short Form. Catch-up Contributions are always permitted.






	(d)	 	Election. The Plan Administrator shall determine the manner in which a Participant may elect
to have Elective Deferrals made to the Plan on his behalf. The Plan Administrator shall
establish reasonable periods during which the election may be made or modified and must allow
at least one opportunity per Plan Year to make or modify an election. Unless the Plan
Administrator establishes another period during which the election may be made or modified,
any such election may be made or modified during the thirty (30) day period preceding the
first day of the Plan Year. A Participant may not make a retroactive election, and once an
election is made, it shall remain in effect until modified or terminated. A Participant may
revoke an election at any time.
	 
	(e)	 	Payment of Contribution. Elective Deferrals shall be remitted by the Employer to the Trustee
or custodian on the earliest date that they can reasonably be segregated
from the Employer’s assets, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) business day of
the month following the month in which the Participant contributions are withheld or received
by the Employer, unless under the regulations an extension of up to 10 business days is
granted by the Secretary of Labor with respect to Elective Deferrals received or withheld in a
single month.
	 
	(f)	 	Hardship Distributions. For Hardship distributions occurring before January 1, 2002, a
Participant may not have Elective Deferrals made on his or her behalf for the taxable year
following the taxable year of a Hardship distribution in excess of the applicable limit under
Code section 402(g) for such taxable year less the amount of the Employee’s Elective Deferrals
for the taxable year of the Hardship distribution.




2.2.3 Employee Contributions.





	(a)	 	Amount of Contribution. Subject to the Employer’s election in the Adoption Agreement, an
Employee may make Voluntary Employee Contributions to the Plan on an after-tax basis. Employee
contributions for Plan Years beginning after 1986 must meet the nondiscriminatory test of Code
section 401(m). Such contributions will be maintained in a Voluntary Account and will be
non-forfeitable at all times. The Voluntary Account will share in the gains and losses of the
Trust according to the policy adopted pursuant to Section 3.1.3.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. Voluntary Employee contributions not permitted.
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator shall not accept deductible Voluntary Employee Contributions that are
made for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1986. Deductible Voluntary Employee
contributions made prior to that date will be maintained in a Deductible Voluntary Account that
will be nonforfeitable at all times. This Account will share in the gains and losses of the
Trust according to the policy adopted pursuant to Section 3.1.3. No part of the Deductible
Voluntary Account will be used to purchase life insurance.




 









 






	(b)	 	Withdrawal of Contributions. Subject to the requirements of Section 2.5.7 regarding
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuities (if applicable), the Participant may withdraw any part
of the Voluntary Account or Deductible Voluntary Account by making a written application to
the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may adopt such procedures with respect to such
withdrawals as may be necessary or appropriate. At the Plan Administrator’s direction, the
Trustee shall distribute any such withdrawal to the Participant in accordance with those
procedures. Except in the case of the Deductible Voluntary Account, such withdrawals shall not
include any interest or other increment earned on such contributions if the Participant is
still an Employee. No Forfeitures shall occur as a result of an Employee withdrawing such
contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee’s spouse must consent in writing to
a withdrawal of Voluntary Employee Contributions subject to the spousal consent requirements
of Subsection 2.5.7(k).




2.2.4 Return of Contributions. The Trustee shall return contributions by the Employer,
including Employer, Qualified Non-Elective, Non-Elective, Matching, and Qualified Matching
Contributions, to the Employer in the following instances:





	(a)	 	If a contribution is made by the Employer because of mistake of fact, then the Trustee shall
return such contribution within one (1) year after its payment upon the Employer’s written
request.
	 
	(b)	 	Each contribution by the Employer is conditioned on initial qualification of the Plan under
the applicable sections of the Code. If the Commissioner of Internal Revenue determines that
the Plan does not initially qualify, then any contribution made incident to the initial
qualification by the Employer shall be returned within one (1) year after the date of denial
of initial qualification of the Plan, but only if the application for initial qualification is
made by the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer’s tax return for the taxable year
in which the Plan is adopted, or such later date as the Secretary of the Treasury may
prescribe.
	 
	(c)	 	Each contribution by the Employer is conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution
under the applicable sections of the Code. If the deduction for part or all of a contribution
is disallowed, the Trustee shall return such contribution, to the extent of the disallowance,
within one (1) year after such disallowance.




2.2.5 Deemed Pre-tax IRA. This Section shall apply after December 31, 2005, if the
Employer elects to permit Participants to make Pre-tax IRA contributions to the Plan.





	(a)	 	The Pre-tax IRA Account shall be established for the exclusive benefit of the Participant or
his Beneficiaries.
	 
	(b)	 	The maximum permissible annual contribution shall be:






	 	(1)	 	Except in the case of a rollover contribution (as permitted by Code sections 402(c),
402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3), and 457(e)(16)), no contributions
will be accepted unless they are in cash, and the total of such contributions shall not
exceed:
	 
	 	 	 	Three thousand dollars ($3,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2002 through 2004;
Four thousand dollars ($4,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2005 through 2007; and
Five thousand dollars ($5,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2008 and years
thereafter.
	 
	 	 	 	After 2008, the limit will be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living
increases under Code section 219(b)(5)(C). Such adjustments will be in multiples of $500.




 









 






	 	(2)	 	In the case of a Participant who is fifty (50) or older, the annual cash contribution
limit is increased by:
	 
	 	 	 	Five hundred dollars ($500 for any taxable year beginning in 2002 through 2005; and
One thousand dollars ($1,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2006 and years thereafter.
	 
	 	(3)	 	No contributions will be accepted under a SIMPLE IRA plan established by any employer
pursuant to Code section 408(p). Also, no transfer or rollover of funds attributable to
contributions made by a particular employer under its SIMPLE IRA plan will be accepted
from a SIMPLE IRA, that is, an IRA used in conjunction with a SIMPLE IRA plan, prior to
the expiration of the two (2) year period beginning on the date the Participant first
participated in that employer’s SIMPLE IRA plan.






	(c)	 	If the Trust acquires collectibles within the meaning of Code Section 408(m) after December
31, 1981, for the benefit of any Pre-tax IRA Account, those Trust assets will be treated as a
distribution in an amount equal to the cost of such collectibles.
	 
	(d)	 	No part of the Trust funds attributable to a Pre-tax IRA Contribution will be invested in
life insurance contracts.
	 
	(e)	 	Distributions before death must commence no later than when the Participant attains age
seventy and one-half (701/2).






	 	(1)	 	Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the distribution of
the Participant’s interest in the Pre-tax IRA Account shall be made in accordance with the
requirements of Code section 408(a)(6) and the regulations thereunder, the provisions of
which are herein incorporated by reference. If distributions are made from an annuity
contract purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder must satisfy the
requirements of Q&A-4 of Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-6, rather than
Subsections (2), (3), and (4) below and Subsection (f). The Required Minimum Distributions
calculated for an IRA created under this Section may be withdrawn from another IRA of the
Participant in accordance with Q&A-9 of Treasury Regulations section 1.408-8.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The entire value of the Account of the Participant for whose benefit the Account is
maintained will commence to be distributed no later than the first day of April following
the calendar year in which such Participant attains age seventy and one-half (701/2) (the
“required beginning date”) over the life of such Participant or the lives of such
Participant and his Designated Beneficiary.
	 
	 	(3)	 	The amount to be distributed each year, beginning with the calendar year in which the
Participant attains age seventy and one-half (701/2) and continuing through the year of
death, shall not be less than the quotient obtained by dividing the value of the IRA
created under this Section (as determined under Subsection (h)) as of the end of the
preceding year by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table in Q&A-2 of
Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant’s age as of his birthday
in the year. However, if the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary is his surviving
spouse and such spouse is more than ten (10) years younger than the Participant, then the
distribution period is determined under the Joint and Last Survivor Table in Q&A-3 of
Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the ages as of the Participant’s and
spouse’s birthdays in the year.
	 
	 	(4)	 	The Required Minimum Distribution for the year the Participant attains age seventy
and one-half (701/2) can be made as late as April 1 of the following year. The Required
Minimum Distribution for any other year must be made by the end of such year.






	(f)	 	Death On or After Required Beginning Date. If the Participant dies on or after the required
beginning date, the remaining portion of his interest will be distributed at least as rapidly
as follows:




 









 












	 	(1)	 	If the Designated Beneficiary is someone other than the Participant’s surviving
spouse, the remaining interest will be distributed over the remaining life expectancy of
the Designated Beneficiary, with such life expectancy determined using the Beneficiary’s
age as of his birthday in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, or over
the period described in Subsection (3) below if longer.
	 
	 	(2)	 	If the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary is the Participant’s surviving
spouse, the remaining interest will be distributed over such spouse’s life or over the
period described in Subsection (3) below if longer. Any interest remaining after such
spouse’s death will be distributed over such spouse’s remaining life expectancy determined
using the spouse’s age as of his birthday in the year of the spouse’s death, or, if the
distributions are being made over the period described in Subsection (3) below, over such
period.
	 
	 	(3)	 	If there is no Designated Beneficiary, or if applicable by operation of Subsections
(f)(1) or (f)(2) above, the remaining interest will be distributed over the individual’s
remaining life expectancy determined in the year of the individual’s death.
	 
	 	(4)	 	The amount to be distributed each year under Subsections (1), (2), or (3), beginning
with the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s death, is the
quotient obtained by dividing the value of the IRA created under this Section as of the
end of the preceding year by the remaining life expectancy specified in such Subsection.
Life expectancy is determined using the Single Life Table in Q&A-1 of Treasury Regulations
section 1.401(a)(9)-9. If distributions are being made to a surviving spouse as the sole
Designated Beneficiary, such spouse’s remaining life expectancy for a year is the number
in the Single Life Table corresponding to such spouse’s age in the year. In all other
cases, remaining life expectancy for a year is the number in the Single Life Table
corresponding to the Beneficiary’s or Participant’s age in the year specified in
Subsections (1), (2), or (3) and reduced by 1 for each subsequent year.






	(g)	 	Death Before Required Beginning Date. If the Participant dies before the required beginning
date, his entire interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as follows:






	 	(1)	 	If the Designated Beneficiary is someone other than the Participant’s surviving
spouse, the entire interest will be distributed, starting by the end of the calendar year
following the calendar year of the Participant’s death, over the remaining life expectancy
of the Designated Beneficiary, with such life expectancy determined using the age of the
Beneficiary as of his birthday in the year following the year of the Participant’s death,
or, if elected, in accordance with Subsection (3) below.
	 
	 	(2)	 	If the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary is the Participant’s surviving
spouse, the entire interest will be distributed, starting by the end of the calendar year
following the calendar year of the Participant’s death (or by the end of the calendar year
in which the Participant would have attained age seventy and one-half (701/2), if later),
over such spouse’s life, or, if elected, in accordance with Subsection (3) below. If the
surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin, the remaining interest
will be distributed, starting by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year
of the spouse’s death, over the spouse’s Designated Beneficiary’s remaining life
expectancy determined using such Beneficiary’s age as of his birthday in the year
following the death of the spouse, or, if elected, will be distributed in accordance with
Subsection (3) below. If the surviving spouse dies after distributions are required to
begin, any remaining interest will be distributed over the spouse’s remaining life
expectancy determined using the spouse’s age as of his birthday in the year of the
spouse’s death.
	 
	 	(3)	 	If there is no Designated Beneficiary, or if applicable by operation of Subsections
(1) or (2) above, the entire interest will be distributed by the end of the calendar year
containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death (or of the spouse’s death in
the case of the surviving spouse’s death before distributions are required to begin under
Subsection (2) above).
	 
	 	(4)	 	The amount to be distributed each year under Subsections (1) or (2) is the quotient
obtained by dividing the value of the IRA created under this Section as of the end of the
preceding year by the




 









 






	 	 	 	remaining life expectancy specified in such Subsection. Life expectancy is determined
using the Single Life Table in Q&A-1 of Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9. If
distributions are being made to a surviving spouse as the sole Designated Beneficiary,
such spouse’s remaining life expectancy for a year is the number in the Single Life Table
corresponding to such spouse’s age in the year. In all other cases, remaining life
expectancy for a year is the number in the Single Life Table corresponding to the
Beneficiary’s age in the year specified in Subsections (1) or (2) and reduced by 1 for
each subsequent year.






	(h)	 	The “value” of the IRA created under this Section includes the amount of any outstanding
rollover, transfer and recharacterization under Q&As-7 and -8 of Treasury Regulations section
1.408-8.
	 
	(i)	 	If the sole Designated Beneficiary is the Participant’s surviving spouse, the spouse may
elect to treat the IRA created under this Section as his own IRA. This election will be deemed
to have been made if such surviving spouse makes a contribution to the IRA or fails to take
required distributions as a Beneficiary.
	 
	(j)	 	The interest of a Participant in the balance in his Account is nonforfeitable at all times.
	 
	(k)	 	Trust Provisions.






	 	(1)	 	The trustee of a Deemed IRA Account must be a bank, as required by Code section
408(a)(2) , or if the trustee is not a bank as defined in Code section 408(n), the Trustee
must have received approval from the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service to serve
as a nonbank trustee or nonbank custodian pursuant to Treasury Regulations section
1.408-2(e).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The requirements of Code section 408(a)(5) regarding commingling of assets do not
apply to Deemed IRAs. Accordingly, the assets of a Deemed IRA may be commingled for
investment purposes with those of the Plan. However, the restrictions on the commingling
of Plan and IRA assets with other assets apply to the assets of the Plan and Deemed IRA
Accounts established under this Plan.






	(l)	 	Separate records will be maintained for the interest of each Participant.
	 
	(m)	 	The trustee of the Deemed IRA Accounts shall furnish annual calendar-year reports concerning
the status of the Deemed IRA Accounts and such information concerning Required Minimum
Distributions as is prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
	 
	(n)	 	The non-bank trustee or custodian shall substitute another trustee or custodian if the
non-bank trustee or custodian receives notice from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that
such substitution is required because it has failed to comply with the requirements of
Treasury Regulations section 1.408-2(e).
	 
	(o)	 	For purposes of this Section, “compensation” means wages, salaries, professional fees, or
other amounts derived from or received for personal services actually rendered (including, but
not limited to commissions paid salesmen, compensation for services on the basis of a
percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, and bonuses) and includes
earned income, as defined in Code section 401(c)(2) (reduced by the deduction the self
employed individual takes for contributions made to a self-employed retirement plan). For
purposes of this definition, Code section 401(c)(2) shall be applied as if the term trade or
business for purposes of Code section 1402 included service described in Subsection (c)(6).
Compensation does not include amounts derived from or received as earnings or profits from
property (including but not limited to interest and dividends) or amounts not includible in
gross income. Compensation also does not include any amount received as a pension or annuity
or as deferred compensation. The term “compensation” shall include any amount includible in
the Participant’s gross income under Code section 71 with respect to a divorce or separation
instrument described in Code section 71(b)(2)(A).




2.2.6 Deemed Roth IRA. This Section shall apply after December 31, 2005, if the
Employer elects to





 












 




permit Participants to make Roth IRA contributions to this Plan.





	(a)	 	A Roth IRA Account shall be established for the exclusive benefit of the Participant or his
Beneficiaries.
	 
	(b)	 	The maximum permissible annual contribution shall be:






	 	(1)	 	Except in the case of a qualified rollover contribution or a recharacterization (as
defined in Subsection (6) below), no contribution will be accepted unless it is in cash
and the total of such contributions to all the Participant’s Roth IRAs for a taxable year
does not exceed the applicable amount (as defined in Subsection (2) below), or the
Participant’s compensation (as defined in Subsection (8) below), if less, for that taxable
year. The contribution described in the previous sentence that may not exceed the lesser
of the applicable amount or the Participant’s compensation is referred to as a “regular
contribution.” A “qualified rollover contribution” is a rollover contribution that meets
the requirements of Code section 408(d)(3), except the one-rollover-per-year rule of Code
section 408(d)(3)(B) does not apply if the rollover contribution is from an IRA other than
a Roth IRA (a “nonRoth IRA”). Contributions may be limited under Subsections (3) through
(5) below. The applicable amount is shall not exceed:
	 
	 	 	 	Three thousand dollars ($3,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2002 through 2004;
Four thousand dollars ($4,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2005 through 2007; and
Five thousand dollars ($5,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2008 and years
thereafter.
After 2008, the limit will be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living
increases under Code section 219(b)(5)(C). Such adjustments will be in multiples of five
hundred dollars ($500).






	 	(2)	 	In the case of a Participant who is fifty (50) or older, the annual cash contribution
limit is increased by:
	 
	 	 	 	Five hundred dollars ($500) for any taxable year beginning in 2002 through 2005; and
One thousand dollars ($1,000) for any taxable year beginning in 2006 and years thereafter.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Regular Contribution Limit. If Subsections (i) and/or (ii) below apply, the maximum
regular contribution that can be made to all the Participant’s Roth IRAs for a taxable
year is the smaller amount determined under Subsections (i) or (ii).






	 	(i)	 	The maximum regular contribution is phased out ratably between certain
levels of modified adjusted gross income (“modified AGI,” defined in Subsection (7)
below) in accordance with the following table:





	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Full	 	Phase-out	 	No
	Filing Status	 	Contribution	 	Range	 	Contribution
	Single or Head of 

Household
	 	$95,000 or less
	 	Modified AGI

Between $95,000 and

$110,000
	 	$110,000 or more
	 
	Joint Return or 

Qualifying 

Widow(er)
	 	$150,000 or less
	 	Between $150,000

and $160,000
	 	$160,000 or more
	 
	Married
	 	$0
	 	Between $0
	 	$10,000
	Separate Return
	 	 	 	and $10,000
	 	or more






 









 







	 	 	 	If the Participant’s modified AGI for a taxable year is in the phase-out range, the
maximum regular contribution determined under this table for that taxable year is
rounded up to the next multiple of ten dollars ($10) and is not reduced below two
hundred dollars ($200).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Participant makes regular contributions to both Roth and nonRoth
IRAs for a taxable year, the maximum regular contribution that can be made to all the
individual’s Roth IRAs for that taxable year is reduced by the regular contributions
made to the Participant’s nonRoth IRAs for the taxable year.






	 	(4)	 	Qualified Rollover Contribution Limit. A rollover from a nonRoth IRA cannot be made
to this IRA if, for the year the amount is distributed from the nonRoth IRA, (i) the
Participant is married and files a separate return, (ii) the Participant is not married
and has modified AGI in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), or (iii) the
Participant is married and together the Participant and the Participant’s spouse have
modified AGI in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). For purposes of the
preceding sentence, a husband and wife are not treated as married for a taxable year if
they have lived apart at all times during that taxable year and file separate returns for
the taxable year.
	 
	 	(5)	 	SIMPLE IRA Limits. No contributions will be accepted under a SIMPLE IRA plan
established by any employer pursuant to Code section 408(p). Also, no transfer or rollover
of funds attributable to contributions made by a particular employer under its SIMPLE IRA
plan will be accepted from a SIMPLE IRA, that is, an IRA used in conjunction with a SIMPLE
IRA plan, prior to the expiration of the two (2) year period beginning on the date the
individual first participated in that employer’s SIMPLE IRA plan.
	 
	 	(6)	 	Recharacterization. A regular contribution to a nonRoth IRA may be recharacterized
pursuant to the rules in Treasury Regulations section 1.408A-5 as a regular contribution
to this IRA, subject to the limits in Subsection (3) above.
	 
	 	(7)	 	Modified AGI. For purposes of (3) and (4) above, a Participant’s modified AGI for a
taxable year is defined in Code section 408A(c)(3)(C)(i) and does not include any amount
included in adjusted gross income as a result of a rollover from a nonRoth IRA (a
“conversion”).
	 
	 	(8)	 	Compensation. For purposes of Subsection (b) above, compensation is defined as wages,
salaries, professional fees, or other amounts derived from or received for personal
services actually rendered (including, but not limited to commissions paid salesmen,
compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on
insurance premiums, tips, and bonuses) and includes earned income, as defined in Code
section 401(c)(2) (reduced by the deduction the self-employed individual takes for
contributions made to a self-employed retirement plan). For purposes of this definition,
Code section 401(c)(2) shall be applied as if the term trade or business for purposes of
Code section 1402 included service described in Subsection (c)(6). Compensation does not
include amounts derived from or received as earnings or profits from property (including
but not limited to interest and dividends) or amounts not includible in gross income.
Compensation also does not include any amount received as a pension or annuity or as
deferred compensation. The term “compensation” shall include any amount includible in the
individual’s gross income under Code section 71 with respect to a divorce or separation
instrument described in Code section 71(b)(2)(A). In the case of a married Participant
filing a joint return, the greater compensation of his spouse is treated as his own
compensation, but only to the extent that such spouse’s compensation is not being used for
purposes of the spouse making a contribution to a Roth IRA or a deductible contribution to
a nonRoth IRA.






	(c)	 	If the trust acquires collectibles within the meaning of Code section 408(m) after December
31, 1981, for the benefit of any Roth IRA Account, those trust assets will be treated as a
distribution in an amount equal to the cost of such collectibles.




 









 






	(d)	 	No part of the Trust funds attributable to a Roth IRA Contribution will be invested in life
insurance contracts.
	 
	(e)	 	No amount is required to be distributed prior to the death of the Participant for whose
benefit the account was originally established.
	 
	(f)	 	Distribution upon Death.






	 	(1)	 	Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the distribution of
the Participant’s interest in the Roth IRA Account shall be made in accordance with the
requirements of Code section 408(a)(6), as modified by Code section 408A(c)(5), and the
regulations thereunder, the provisions of which are herein incorporated by reference. If
distributions are made from an annuity contract purchased from an insurance company,
distributions thereunder must satisfy the requirements of Temporary Treasury Regulations
section 1.401(a)(9)-6T (taking into account Code section 408A(c)(5)), rather than the
distribution rules in Subsections (2), (3), and (4) below.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Upon the death of the Participant, his entire interest will be distributed at least
as rapidly as follows:






	 	(i)	 	If the Designated Beneficiary is someone other than the Participant’s
surviving spouse, the entire interest will be distributed, starting by the end of the
calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s death, over the
remaining life expectancy of the Designated Beneficiary, with such life expectancy
determined using the age of the Beneficiary as of his birthday in the year following
the year of the Participant’s death, or, if elected, in accordance with Subsection
(iii) below.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary is the Participant’s
surviving spouse, the entire interest will be distributed, starting by the end of the
calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s death (or by the end
of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age seventy and
one-half (701/2), if later), over such spouse’s life, or, if elected, in accordance
with Subsection (iii) below. If the surviving spouse dies before distributions are
required to begin, the remaining interest will be distributed, starting by the end of
the calendar year following the calendar year of the spouse’s death, over the
spouse’s Designated Beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy determined using such
Beneficiary’s age as of his birthday in the year following the death of the spouse,
or, if elected, will be distributed in accordance with Subsection (iii) below. If the
surviving spouse dies after distributions are required to begin, any remaining
interest will be distributed over the spouse’s remaining life expectancy determined
using the spouse’s age as of his birthday in the year of the spouse’s death.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If there is no Designated Beneficiary, or if applicable by operation of
Subsection (i) or (ii) above, the entire interest will be distributed by the end of
the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death (or of
the spouse’s death in the case of the surviving spouse’s death before distributions
are required to begin under Subsection (ii) above).
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The amount to be distributed each year under Subsection (i) or (ii) is the
quotient obtained by dividing the value of the IRA created under this Section as of
the end of the preceding year by the remaining life expectancy specified in such
Subsection. Life expectancy is determined using the Single Life Table in Q&A-1 of
Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9. If distributions are being made to a
surviving spouse as the sole Designated Beneficiary, such spouse’s remaining life
expectancy for a year is the number in the Single Life Table corresponding to such
spouse’s age in the year. In all other cases, remaining life expectancy for a year is
the number in the Single Life Table corresponding to the Beneficiary’s age in the
year specified in Subsections (i) or (ii) and reduced by 1 for each subsequent year.






	 	(3)	 	The “value” of the IRA created under this Section includes the amount of any
outstanding rollover,




 









 






	 	 	 	transfer and recharacterization under Q&As-7 and -8 of Treasury Regulations section
1.408-8.
	 
	 	(4)	 	If the sole Designated Beneficiary is the Participant’s surviving spouse, the spouse
may elect to treat the IRA created under this Section as his own IRA. This election will
be deemed to have been made if such surviving spouse makes a contribution to the IRA or
fails to take required distributions as a Beneficiary.






	(g)	 	The interest of a Participant in the balance in his Account is nonforfeitable at all times.
	 
	(h)	 	Trust Provisions.






	 	(1)	 	The trustee of a Deemed IRA Account must be a bank, as required by Code section
408(a)(2), or if the trustee is not a bank as defined in Code section 408(n), the trustee
must have received approval from the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service to serve
as a nonbank trustee or nonbank custodian pursuant to Treasury Regulations section
1.408-2(e).
	 
	 	(2)	 	The requirements of Code section 408(a)(5) regarding commingling of assets do not
apply to Deemed IRA Accounts. Accordingly, the assets of a Deemed IRA Account may be
commingled for investment purposes with those of the Plan. However, the restrictions on
the commingling of Plan and IRA assets with other assets apply to the assets of the Plan
and the Deemed IRA Accounts established under this Plan.






	(i)	 	Separate records will be maintained for the interest of each Participant.
	 
	(j)	 	The trustee of the Deemed IRA Accounts shall furnish annual calendar-year reports concerning
the status of the Deemed IRA Accounts and such information concerning Required Minimum
Distributions as is prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
	 
	(k)	 	The non-bank trustee or custodian shall substitute another trustee or custodian if the
non-bank trustee or custodian receives notice from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that
such substitution is required because it has failed to comply with the requirements of
Treasury Regulations section 1.408-2(e).




 









 











ARTICLE III




ALLOCATIONS


2.3.1 Profit Sharing, Money Purchase Pension, and Target Benefit Plans. Unless otherwise
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, as of the last day of the Plan Year, the
Employer Contributions made by the Employer with respect to the Plan Year and Forfeitures shall be
allocated among the Employer Accounts of Participants during the Plan Year in the manner set forth
in the Adoption Agreement. A Participant is treated as benefiting under the Plan for any Plan Year
during which the Participant received or is deemed to receive an allocation in accordance with
Treasury Regulations section 1.410(b)-3(a). If a Plan is integrated with Social Security, Section
2.3.5, 2.3.6, or 2.3.7, as the case may be, shall also apply.



As elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer will determine the total amount
of contributions for each Plan Year and either (1) allocate such total amount to Participant groups
(the “Participant Group Allocation method”), or (2) allocate such total amount using age weighted
allocation rates (the “Age Weighted Allocation method”). Employer contributions will be allocated
to each Eligible Employee.



Participant Group Allocation method. If the Employer has elected the Participant Group Allocation
method in the Adoption Agreement, each Eligible Employee of the Employer will constitute a
“separate allocation group” for purposes of allocating contributions. Only a limited number of
allocation rates (defined below) is permitted, and the number of allocation rates cannot be greater
than the maximum allowable number of allocation rates. The maximum allowable number of allocation
rates is equal to the sum of the allowable number of allocation rates for eligible Non-Highly
Compensated Employees (eligible NHCEs) and the allowable number of allocation rates for eligible
Highly Compensated Employees (eligible HCEs). The allowable number of allocation rates for eligible
HCEs is equal to the number of eligible HCEs, limited to 25. The allowable number of NHCE
allocation rates depends on the number of eligible NHCEs, limited to 25.



The allocation will be made as follows: First, the total amount of contributions is allocated among
the deemed aggregated allocation groups in portions determined by the Employer. A deemed aggregated
allocation group consists of all of the separate allocation groups that have the same allocation
rate. Second, within each deemed aggregated allocation group, the allocated portion is allocated to
each Employee in the ratio that such Employee’s Compensation, as defined in Part 1 Article II of
the Plan, bears to the total compensation of all Employees in the group. An allocation rate is the
amount of contributions allocated to an Employee for a year, expressed as a percentage of
compensation, as defined in Part 1 Article II of the Plan. The number of eligible NHCEs to which a
particular allocation rate applies must reflect a reasonable classification of employees, and no
Employee can be assigned to more than one deemed aggregated allocation group for a plan year.



For plans with only one or two eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE allocation rates is
one. For plans with 3 to 8 eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE allocation rates cannot
exceed two. For plans with 9 to 11 eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE allocation rates
cannot exceed three. For plans with 12 to 19 eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE
allocation rates cannot exceed four. For plans with 20 to 29 eligible NHCEs, the allowable number
of NHCE allocation rates cannot exceed five. For plans with 30 or more eligible NHCEs, the
allowable number of NHCE allocation rates cannot exceed the number of eligible NHCEs divided by
five (rounded down to the next whole number if the result of dividing is not a whole number), but
shall not exceed 25.



Age Weighted Allocation method. If the Age Weighted Allocation method is elected in the Adoption
Agreement, the total Employer Contribution will be allocated to each Eligible Employee such that
the equivalent benefit accrual rate for each Participant is identical. The equivalent benefit
accrual rate is the annual annuity commencing at the Participant’s testing age, expressed as a
percentage of the Participant’s Compensation as defined in Part 1 Article II of the Plan which is
provided from the allocation of Employer Contributions and Forfeitures for the Plan Year, using
standardized actuarial assumptions that satisfy section 1.401(a)(4)-12 of the Income Tax
Regulations. The Employee’s testing age is the later of Normal Retirement Age, or the Employee’s
current age.



For any Plan Year in which the Employer intends to rely on Treasury Regulation section
1.401(a)(4)-8 (cross





 









 







testing) in satisfying Code section 401(a)(4), each Non-Highly Compensated Employee entitled to
receive a Non-Elective Contribution under this Section 2.3.1 or under Section 2.9.3 shall receive a
minimum allocation equal to the lesser of (a) one-third (1/3) of the highest allocation rate (as a
percentage of Compensation) of any Highly Compensated Employee applied to his Compensation, as
defined in Part I, Article II, or (b) five (5%) percent of his compensation as defined in
Subsection 3.2.5(a)(iii). Compensation for a Participant’s initial year of participation shall be
measured either over the period starting from his Entry Date or over the twelve (12) month period
ending in the initial year of participation, as elected in the Adoption Agreement under the
Compensation Computation Period. If a defined benefit plan sponsored by the Employer is aggregated
with this Plan for purposes of satisfying Code section 410(b) and the Employer intends to rely on
Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(4)-9, then each Non-Highly Compensated Employee entitled to
an allocation shall receive an allocation such that his aggregate normal allocation rate equals the
lesser of (a) one-third (1/3) of the highest aggregate normal allocation rate (as a percentage of
Compensation) of any Highly Compensated Employee or (b) five (5%) percent of his compensation as
defined in Subsection 3.2.5(a)(iii); provided, if the highest aggregate normal allocation rate of
any Highly Compensated Employee exceeds twenty-five percent (25%), each Non-Highly Compensated
Employee shall receive six percent (6%) of his Compensation, if the highest aggregate normal
allocation rate of any Highly Compensated Employee exceeds thirty percent (30%), each Non- Highly
Compensated Employee shall receive seven percent (7%) of his Compensation, and if the highest
aggregate normal allocation rate exceeds thirty-five percent (35%), each Non-Highly Compensated
Employee shall receive seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of his Compensation. In the event that the
Plan is Top-Heavy for a Plan Year, any Non-Highly Compensated Employee eligible for a Minimum
Top-Heavy Allocation in Subsection 2.6.1(a) shall receive an allocation equal to the greater of the
Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation or the amount determined above. The Employer may elect to satisfy this
Paragraph in this Plan or another plan of the Employer.



Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement. The Compensation Computation Period for a Participant’s
initial Plan Year of Participation shall be Compensation from the Participant’s Entry Date.



2.3.2 Cash or Deferred Plans.





	(a)	 	Non-Elective Contributions. Unless otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement, as of the last day of the Plan Year, the Non-Elective Contributions made by the
Employer with respect to the Plan Year, and Forfeitures, shall be allocated among the Employer
Accounts of Participants during the Plan Year in the manner specified in the Adoption
Agreement; provided, that if the Plan is integrated with Social Security, Section 2.3.5 shall
also apply.
	 
	 	 	As elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer will determine the total
amount of contributions for each Plan Year and either (1) allocate such total amount to
Participant groups (the “Participant Group Allocation method”), or (2) allocate such total
amount using age weighted allocation rates (the “Age Weighted Allocation method”). Employer
contributions will be allocated to each Eligible Employee.
	 
	 	 	Participant Group Allocation method. If the Employer has elected the Participant Group
Allocation method in the Adoption Agreement, each Eligible Employee of the Employer will
constitute a “separate allocation group” for purposes of allocating contributions. Only a
limited number of allocation rates (defined below) is permitted, and the number of allocation
rates cannot be greater than the maximum allowable number of allocation rates. The maximum
allowable number of allocation rates is equal to the sum of the allowable number of allocation
rates for eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees (eligible NHCEs) and the allowable number
of allocation rates for eligible Highly Compensated Employees (eligible HCEs). The allowable
number of allocation rates for eligible HCEs is equal to the number of eligible HCEs, limited
to 25. The allowable number of NHCE allocation rates depends on the number of eligible NHCEs,
limited to 25.
	 
	 	 	The allocation will be made as follows: First, the total amount of contributions is allocated
among the deemed aggregated allocation groups in portions determined by the Employer. A deemed
aggregated allocation group consists of all of the separate allocation groups that have the
same allocation rate. Second, within each deemed aggregated allocation group, the allocated
portion is allocated to each




 









 






	 	 	Employee in the ratio that such Employee’s Compensation, as defined in Part 1 Article II of the
Plan, bears to the total compensation of all Employees in the group. An allocation rate is the
amount of contributions allocated to an Employee for a year, expressed as a percentage of
compensation, as defined in Part 1 Article II of the Plan. The number of eligible NHCEs to
which a particular allocation rate applies must reflect a reasonable classification of
employees, and no Employee can be assigned to more than one deemed aggregated allocation group
for a plan year.
	 
	 	 	For plans with only one or two eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE allocation rates is
one. For plans with 3 to 8 eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE allocation rates cannot
exceed two. For plans with 9 to 11 eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE allocation
rates cannot exceed three. For plans with 12 to 19 eligible NHCEs, the allowable number of NHCE
allocation rates cannot exceed four. For plans with 20 to 29 eligible NHCEs, the allowable
number of NHCE allocation rates cannot exceed five. For plans with 30 or more eligible NHCEs,
the allowable number of NHCE allocation rates cannot exceed the number of eligible NHCEs
divided by five (rounded down to the next whole number if the result of dividing is not a whole
number), but shall not exceed 25.
	 
	 	 	Age Weighted Allocation method. If the Age Weighted Allocation method is elected in the
Adoption Agreement, the total Employer Contribution will be allocated to each Eligible Employee
such that the equivalent benefit accrual rate for each Participant is identical. The equivalent
benefit accrual rate is the annual annuity commencing at the Participant’s testing age,
expressed as a percentage of the Participant’s Compensation as defined in Part 1 Article II of
the Plan which is provided from the allocation of Employer Contributions and Forfeitures for
the Plan Year, using standardized actuarial assumptions that satisfy section 1.401(a)(4)-12 of
the Income Tax Regulations. The Employee’s testing age is the later of Normal Retirement Age,
or the Employee’s current age.
	 
	 	 	For any Plan Year in which the Employer intends to rely on Treasury Regulations section
1.401(a)(4)-8 (cross testing) in satisfying Code section 401(a)(4), each Non-Highly Compensated
Employee entitled to receive a Non-Elective Contribution under this Subsection 2.3.2(a) or
under Section 2.9.3 shall receive a minimum allocation equal to the lesser of (a) one-third
(1/3) of the highest allocation rate (as a percentage of Compensation) of any Highly
Compensated Employee applied to his Compensation, as defined in Part I, Article II, or (b) five
percent (5%) of his compensation as defined in Subsection 3.2.5(a)(iii). If a defined benefit
plan sponsored by the Employer is aggregated with this Plan for purposes of satisfying Code
section 410(b) and the Employer intends to rely on Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(4)-9,
then each Non-Highly Compensated Employee entitled to an allocation shall receive an allocation
such that his aggregate normal allocation rate equals the lesser of (a) one-third (1/3) of the
highest aggregate normal allocation rate (as a percentage of Compensation) of any Highly
Compensated Employee or (b) five percent (5%) of his compensation as defined in Subsection
3.2.5(a)(iii); provided, if the highest aggregate normal allocation rate of any Highly
Compensated Employee exceeds twenty-five percent (25%), each Non-Highly Compensated Employee
shall receive six percent (6%) of his Compensation, if the highest aggregate normal allocation
rate of any Highly Compensated Employee exceeds thirty percent (30%), each Non- Highly
Compensated Employee shall receive seven percent (7%) of his Compensation, and if the highest
aggregate normal allocation rate exceeds thirty-five percent (35%), each Non-Highly Compensated
Employee shall receive seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of his Compensation. In the event that
the Plan is Top-Heavy for a Plan Year, any Non-Highly Compensated Employee eligible for a
Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation in Subsection 2.6.1(a) shall receive an allocation equal to the
greater of the Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation or the amount determined above. The Employer may
elect to satisfy this Paragraph in this Plan or another plan of the Employer.
	 
	 	 	Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement. The Compensation Computation Period for a
Participant’s initial Plan Year of Participation shall be Compensation from the Participant’s
Entry Date.
	 
	(b)	 	Matching Contributions. Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, as of the last
day of the Plan Year, the Matching Contribution made by the Employer with respect to the Plan
Year, and Forfeitures, shall be allocated to the Matching Accounts of Participants for whom
Elective Deferrals were made in the manner specified in the Adoption Agreement. If elected in
the Adoption Agreement, Catch-up Contributions will not be treated as Elective Deferrals in
the calculation of Matching Contributions allocated to Participant’s Matching Accounts.




 









 






	 	 	Short Form. Catch-up Contributions will always be matched.
	 
	 	 	Standardized Plans. In any tiered matching formula, the rate of Matching Contributions cannot
increase as the rate of Elective Deferrals or Employee Contributions increases. For Plan Years
beginning after 2005, matching formulas, other than a single percentage of Elective Deferrals
or Employee Contributions, such as flat-dollar or ones that target matches at lower paid
Non-Highly Compensated Employees, must satisfy additional requirements specified in Regulations
§1.401(m)-2(a)(5).
	 
	(c)	 	Elective Deferrals. The Elective Deferrals by the Employer on behalf of an electing Employee
shall be allocated to the Elective Account of such electing Employee.
	 
	(d)	 	Roth Deferrals. The Roth Deferrals contributed by the Employer on behalf of an electing
Employee shall be allocated to the Roth Deferral Account of such electing Employee.
	 
	(e)	 	Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions. As of the last
day of the Plan Year, the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching
Contributions made by the Employer with respect to the Plan Year shall be allocated to the
Qualified Non-Elective Account or Qualified Matching Account of Participants during the Plan
Year in the manner specified in the Adoption Agreement.




2.3.3 Basic Allocation. Unless otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement, as of the last day of the Plan Year, the contribution made by the Employer, including
any Forfeitures to be allocated, with respect to the Plan Year shall be allocated among the
Employer Accounts of Participants during the Plan Year, in the manner set forth in the Adoption
Agreement; provided, that the Employer contribution must satisfy the requirements of Code section
416 regardless of how the Adoption Agreement is completed.



2.3.4 Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation. In the event the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan
during any Plan Year, the provisions of Subsection 2.6.1(a) shall apply. The Employer may elect to
make an additional allocation to meet the Minimum Top-Heavy requirement or otherwise follow the
Plan provisions. The allocation of Employer contributions must satisfy the requirements of Code
section 416 regardless of how the Adoption Agreement is completed. Elective Deferrals and Matching
Contributions allocated to Key Employees, but not Catch-up Contributions, are taken into account
for the purpose of determining the minimum contribution under Code section 416. However, Elective
Deferrals (and, for Plan Years beginning before 2002, Matching Contributions) made on behalf of
Non-Key Employees may not be taken into account for the purpose of satisfying the minimum
contribution requirement under Code section 416.



2.3.5 Integration with Social Security — Profit Sharing Plans.





	(a)	 	If the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement that the Plan shall be integrated
with Social Security, then the applicable contributions plus Forfeitures shall be allocated to
Participants’ Accounts as follows (provided that Steps One and Two, below, need only be
applied in years in which the Plan is Top-Heavy):
	 
	 	 	STEP ONE: Contributions and Forfeitures shall be allocated to each Participant’s
Account in the ratio that each Participant’s Compensation bears to all Participant’s
Compensation, but not in excess of three percent (3%) of each Participant’s Compensation.
	 
	 	 	STEP TWO: Any contributions and Forfeitures remaining after the allocation in Step One
will be allocated to each Participant’s Account in the ratio that each Participant’s
Compensation for the Plan Year in excess of the Integration Level bears to the excess
compensation of all Participants, but not in excess of three percent (3%).
	 
	 	 	STEP THREE: Any contributions and Forfeitures remaining after the allocation in Step
Two shall be




 









 






	 	 	allocated to each Participant’s Account in the ratio that the sum of each Participant’s
Compensation and Compensation in excess of the Integration Level bears to the sum of all
Participants’ Compensation and Compensation in excess of the Integration Level, but not in
excess of the Maximum Profit Sharing Disparity Rate.
	 
	 	 	STEP FOUR: Any remaining contributions and Forfeitures shall be allocated to each
Participant’s account in the ratio that each Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year bears
to all Participants’ Compensation for that year.
	 
	 	 	The Maximum Profit Sharing Disparity Rate is equal to the lesser of:






	 	(1)	 	Five and seven-tenths percent (5.7%) (minus the percentage of Compensation allocated
in Step One, if any); or,
	 
	 	(2)	 	Five and four-tenths percent (5.4%) (minus the percentage of Compensation allocated
in Step One, if any) if the Integration Level (IL) is more than eighty percent (80%) but
less than one hundred (100%) of the Taxable Wage Base (TWB) under section 230 of the
Social Security Act at the beginning of the Plan Year; or
	 
	 	(3)	 	Four and three-tenths percent (4.3%) (minus the percentage of Compensation allocated
in Step One, if any) if the IL is greater than twenty percent (20%) of the TWB, but not
more than eighty percent (80%) of the TWB, and greater than ten thousand dollars
($10,000).






	(b)	 	In the event the Plan is Top-Heavy and the Employer elects to use Steps Three and Four of
Subsection (a) above, then allocations made due to Compensation greater than the Integration
Level shall be reduced proportionately to the extent necessary to provide all Employees
entitled to a Top-Heavy Minimum Allocation with the required allocation.




2.3.6 Integration with Social Security — Money Purchase Plans.





	(a)	 	Annual overall permitted disparity limit. Notwithstanding the formula elected in the
Adoption Agreement, for any Plan Year this Plan benefits any Participant who benefits under
another qualified plan or simplified employee pension, as defined in Code section 408(k),
maintained by the Employer that provides for permitted disparity (or imputes disparity), the
Employer will contribute for each eligible Participant an amount equal to the Excess
Contribution Percentage multiplied by the Participant’s total Compensation. For purposes of
this Subsection, the “Excess Contribution Percentage” is the percentage of Compensation at
which Employer-derived contributions are made with respect to Compensation at or above the
Integration Level in a defined contribution plan.
	 
	(b)	 	Cumulative permitted disparity limit. The cumulative permitted disparity limit for a
Participant is thirty-five (35) total cumulative permitted disparity years. Total cumulative
permitted years means the number of years credited to the Participant for allocation or
accrual purposes under this Plan or any other qualified plan or simplified employee pension
plan (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer. For purposes of determining
the Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity limit, all years ending in the same calendar
year are treated as the same year. If the Participant has not benefited under a defined
benefit or target benefit plan for any year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the
Participant has no cumulative disparity limit.
	 
	(c)	 	The Maximum Money Purchase Disparity Rate is equal to the lesser of the Base Contribution
Percentage or the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the table below.




 









 






	 	 	If the Integration Level:





	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	the applicable	 
	is more than	 	but not more than	 	percentage is:	 
	$0
	 	X*	 	 	5.7%	 
	X* of TWB
	 	80% of TWB	 	 	4.3%	 
	80% of TWB
	 	Y**	 	 	5.4%	 
	If TWB
	 	 	 	 	5.7%	 








 




			
	*X = 	 	the greater of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or twenty percent (20%) of the TWB
	 
	**Y = 	 	any amount more than eighty percent (80%) of the TWB but less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the TWB.






	 	 	If the Integration Level is equal to the Taxable Wage Base (“TWB”), the applicable percentage
is five and seven-tenths percent (5.7%).
	 
	 	 	For purposes of this Subsection, the “Base Contribution Percentage” shall be the percentage of
Compensation at which Employer-derived contributions are made with respect to Compensation at
or below the Integration Level in a defined contribution plan.
	 
	(d)	 	Top-Heavy Years. In the event the Plan becomes Top-Heavy, the Employer shall make an
additional contribution to the Plan to provide the Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation pursuant to
Section 2.3.4.




2.3.7 Integration with Social Security — Target Benefit Plans. The Plan may not
provide for permitted disparity if the Employer maintains any other plan that provides for
permitted disparity and benefits any of the same Participants.




Excess Benefit Plans





	(a)	 	Fixed Benefit Excess. For a Participant with less than thirty-five (35) Years
of Projected Participation, the Base Benefit Percentage and the Excess Benefit Percentage will
be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the participant’s Years of Projected
Participation, and the denominator of which is thirty-five (35).






	 	(1)	 	Cumulative Permitted Disparity Reduction: If the number of the Participant’s
cumulative permitted disparity years exceeds thirty-five (35), the Excess Benefit
Percentage will be further reduced as provided below. A Participant’s cumulative permitted
disparity years consist of the sum of: (1) the Participant’s Years of Projected
Participation (up to thirty-five (35)), (2) the number of years the Participant benefited
or is treated as having benefited under this Plan prior to the Participant’s first Year of
Projected Participation, and (3) the number of years credited to the Participant for
allocation or accrual purposes under one or more qualified plans or simplified employee
pension plans (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer (other than
years counted in (1) or (2) above). For purposes of determining the Participant’s
cumulative permitted disparity years, all years ending in the same calendar year are
treated as the same year.




 









 






	 	 	 	If the Cumulative Permitted Disparity Reduction is applicable, the Excess Benefit
Percentage will be
reduced as follows:






	 	(A)	 	Subtract the Participant’s Base Benefit Percentage from the Participant’s
Excess Benefit Percentage, (after modification in accordance with the Paragraph
preceding this Cumulative Permitted Disparity Reduction).
	 
	 	(B)	 	Multiply the result determined in (A) by a fraction (not less than zero),
the numerator of which is thirty-five (35) minus the sum of the years in (2) and (3)
above, and the denominator of which is thirty-five (35).
	 
	 	(C)	 	The Participant’s Excess Benefit Percentage is equal to the sum of the
result in (B) and the Participant’s Base Benefit Percentage, as otherwise modified.






	 	(2)	 	Overall Permitted Disparity Limit: Notwithstanding the above, for any Plan Year this
Plan benefits any Participant who benefits under another qualified plan or simplified
employee pension plan maintained by the Employer that provides for permitted disparity (or
imputes permitted disparity), the stated benefit for all Participants under this Plan will
be equal to the Excess Benefit Percentage entered into the benefit formula above
multiplied by the Participant’s total average annual compensation under the Plan (prorated
for Years of Projected Participation less than thirty-five (35)).






	(b)	 	Unit Benefit Excess. The Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity limit is
equal to thirty-five (35) minus: (1) the number of years the Participant benefited or is
treated as having benefited under this Plan prior to the Participant’s first Year of Projected
Participation, and (2) the number of years credited to the Participant for allocation or
accrual purposes under one or more qualified plans or simplified employee pension plans
(whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer other than years counted in (1)
above or counted toward a Participant’s Years of Projected Participation.






	 	(1)	 	For purposes of determining the Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity years,
all years ending in the same calendar year are treated as the same year.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Overall Permitted Disparity Limit: Notwithstanding the Unit Benefit Excess formulas
in the Adoption Agreement, for any Plan Year this Plan benefits any Participant who
benefits under another qualified plan or simplified employee pension maintained by the
Employer that provides for permitted disparity (or imputes permitted disparity), the
stated benefit for all Participants under this Plan will be equal to the Excess Benefit
Percentage above times the Participant’s total Average Annual Compensation times the
Participant’s Years of Projected Participation under the Plan up to the maximum Years of
Projected Participation taken into account in the Unit Benefit Excess formulas in the
Adoption Agreement.





Offset Benefit Plans





	(c)	 	Fixed Benefit Offset. Cumulative Permitted Disparity Reduction: If the
number of the Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity years exceeds thirty-five (35), the
Gross Benefit Percentage and the offset will be further reduced as provided below.






	 	(1)	 	A Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity years consist of the sum of: (1) the
Participant’s Years of Projected Participation (up to thirty-five (35)), (2) the number of
years the Participant benefited or is treated as having benefited under this Plan prior to
the Participant’s first Year of Projected Participation, and (3) the number of years
credited to the Participant for allocation or accrual purposes under one or more qualified
plans or simplified employee pension plans (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by
the Employer (other than years counted in (1) or (2) above). For
purposes of determining the Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity years, all years
ending in the same calendar year are treated as the same year.





 









 





	 	(2)	 	If the Cumulative Permitted Disparity Reduction is applicable, the Gross Benefit
Percentage and the offset will be reduced as follows:






	 	(A)	 	The offset will be reduced by multiplying it by a fraction (not less than
0), the numerator of which is thirty-five (35) minus the sum of the years in (2) and
(3) in the preceding Paragraph, and the denominator of which is thirty-five (35).
	 
	 	(B)	 	The Gross Benefit Percentage will be reduced by the number of percentage
points by which the offset was reduced in (A) above.






	 	(3)	 	Overall Permitted Disparity Limit: Notwithstanding the above, for any Plan Year this
Plan benefits any Participant who benefits under another qualified plan or simplified
employee pension plan maintained by the Employer that provides for permitted disparity (or
imputes permitted disparity), the stated benefit for all Participants under this Plan will
be equal to the Gross Benefit Percentage entered in the benefit formula (without regard to
the offset) multiplied by the Participant’s Average Annual Compensation under the Plan
(prorated for Years of Projected Participation less than thirty-five (35)).






	(d)	 	Unit Benefit Offset. The Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity limit is
equal to thirty-five (35) minus: (1) the number of years the Participant benefited or is
treated as having benefited under this Plan prior to the Participant’s first Year of Projected
Participation, and (2) the number of years credited to the Participant for allocation or
accrual purposes under one or more qualified plans or simplified employee pension plans
(whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer other than years counted in (1)
above or counted toward a Participant’s Years of Projected Participation. For purposes of
determining the Participant’s cumulative permitted disparity years, all years ending in the
same calendar year are treated as the same year.






	 	(1)	 	The Maximum Offset Allowance will not exceed the lesser of: (1) the applicable factor
from Tables I or II, and (2) one-half (1/2) of the Gross Benefit Percentage, multiplied by
a fraction (not to exceed one (1)), the numerator of which is the Participant’s Average
Annual Compensation, and the denominator of which is the Participant’s Final Average
Compensation up to the offset level.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Overall Permitted Disparity Limit: Notwithstanding the first two of the preceding
Unit Benefit Offset Paragraphs, for any Plan Year this Plan benefits any Participant who
benefits under another qualified plan or simplified employee pension plan maintained by
the Employer that provides for permitted disparity (or imputes permitted disparity), the
stated benefit for all Participants under this Plan will be equal to the Gross Benefit
Percentage (without regard to the offset) times the Participant’s Average Annual
Compensation times the Participant’s Years of Projected Participation under the Plan up to
the maximum of Years of Projected Participation taken into account in the Unit Benefit
Offset formulas.




2.3.8 Fail-Safe Allocation. Failure of the ratio percentage test of Code section
410(b)(1) or the average benefits test of Code section 410(b)(2) requires correction using the
principles set forth in this Section if such use is elected in the Adoption Agreement. Testing is
done as of the last day of the Plan Year. With respect only to non-standardized plans and
notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or Adoption Agreement to the contrary, if the Plan would
otherwise fail to satisfy the requirements of Code section 410(b)(1) (the ratio percentage test) or
Code section 410(b)(2) (the average benefits test) and the regulations thereunder because Employer
contributions have not been allocated to a sufficient number or percentage of Participants for the
Plan Year, and the right to receive a contribution is conditioned upon participation on the last
day of the Plan Year or the completion of more than five hundred (500) Hours of Service, or
conditioned upon membership in a
certain Employee classification, an additional contribution shall be made by the Employer and shall
be allocated to the Employer Accounts of affected Participants, considering all the applicable
exclusions of Code


 









 






sections 410(b)(3) and (4) subject to the following provisions:





	(a)	 	The NHCE Participants eligible to share in the allocation of the Employer’s contribution
shall be expanded to include the minimum number of NHCE Participants who are not otherwise
eligible to the extent necessary to satisfy the applicable test under the ratio percentage
test of Code section 410(b)(1). The specific NHCE Participants who shall become eligible are
those NHCE Participants who are members of an eligible classification of Employees, who are
actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year, but have not met the Plan’s Hours of
Service requirement.
	 
	 	 	These Participants shall be given an allocation one Participant at a time beginning with the
Participant with the greatest number of Hours of Service and continuing in descending order
until the ratio percentage test is passed. If two or more Participants have the same number of
Hours of Service then the Participant with the lowest Compensation shall receive an allocation
first. Fail-safe allocations shall be given to the smallest number of Participants that allows
the Plan to pass the ratio percentage test.
	 
	(b)	 	If the ratio percentage test is still not satisfied, the NHCE Participants eligible to share
in the allocation shall be further expanded to include the minimum number of NHCE Participants
who are members of an eligible classification of Employees who are not employed on the last
day of the Plan Year as is necessary to satisfy the ratio percentage test. The specific NHCE
Participants who shall become eligible are those Participants who have completed the greatest
number of Hours of Service (in excess of five hundred (500) hours) during the Plan Year.
	 
	 	 	These Participants shall be given an allocation one Participant at a time in descending order
until the ratio percentage test is passed. If two or more Participants have been credited with
the same number of Hours of Service then the Participant with the lowest Compensation shall
receive an allocation first.
	 
	(c)	 	If the ratio percentage test is still not satisfied, the NHCE Participants eligible to share
in the allocation of the Employer’s contribution shall be expanded to include the minimum
number of NHCE Participants who are not otherwise eligible to the extent necessary to satisfy
the applicable test under the ratio percentage test of Code section 410(b)(1). The specific
NHCE Participants who shall become eligible are those NHCE Participants who are members of an
ineligible classification of Employees, who are actively employed on the last day of the Plan
Year, and have met the Plan’s Hours of Service requirement.
	 
	 	 	These Participants shall be given an allocation one Participant at a time beginning with the
Participant with the greatest number of Hours of Service and continuing in descending order
until the ratio percentage test is passed. If two or more Participants have the same number of
Hours of Service then the Participant with the lowest Compensation shall receive an allocation
first. Fail-Safe allocations shall be given to the smallest number of Participants that allows
the Plan to pass the ratio percentage test.
	 
	(d)	 	If the ratio percentage test is still not satisfied, the NHCE Participants eligible to share
in the allocation shall be further expanded to include the minimum number of NHCE Participants
who are members of an ineligible classification of NHCE Employees who are employed on the last
day of the Plan Year but have not met the hours requirement of the Plan as is necessary to
satisfy the ratio percentage test. The specific NHCE Participants who shall become eligible
are those NHCE Participants who have completed the greatest number of Hours of Service during
the Plan Year. These Participants shall be given an allocation one Participant at a time in
descending order until the ratio percentage test is passed. If two or more Participants have
been credited with the same number of Hours of Service then the Participant with the lowest
Compensation shall receive an allocation first.
	 
	(e)	 	If the ratio percentage test is still not satisfied, the NHCE Participants eligible to share
in the allocation
shall be further expanded to include the minimum number of NHCE Participants who are members of
an ineligible classification of NHCE Employees who are not employed on the last day of the Plan
Year as is 




 









 






	 	 	necessary to satisfy the ratio percentage test. The specific NHCE Participants who
shall become eligible are those Participants who have completed the greatest number of Hours of
Service (in excess of five hundred (500) hours) during the Plan Year. These Participants shall
be given an allocation one Participant at a time in descending order until the ratio percentage
test is passed. If two or more Participants have been credited with the same number of Hours of
Service then the Participant with the lowest Compensation shall receive an allocation first.
	 
	(f)	 	The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement whether to apply this Section 2.3.8. If the
Employer elects to apply this section 2.3.8 then for each Plan Year it is used, a list of each
Participant benefiting on account of this Section and the associated percentage or dollar
amount of Employer Contribution shall be prepared for each Plan Year and provided to the Plan
Administrator or Trustee not later than the time prescribed by law for filing the return for
such applicable taxable year (including any extensions), and shall be maintained as part of
the administrative records of the Plan.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. This option not offered in Short Form Adoption Agreements.




2.3.9 Contributions on Behalf of Disabled Participants. If elected in the Adoption
Agreement by the Employer, contributions will be made to the Plan on behalf of each Participant who
has a Disability.



Short Form. This option not available in the Short Form Adoption Agreements.





 









 








ARTICLE IV




VESTED BENEFITS


2.4.1 Vesting. A Participant shall at all times be one hundred percent (100%) vested and
have a nonforfeitable interest in his Elective, Qualified Non-Elective, Qualified Matching,
Deductible Voluntary and Voluntary Accounts and Catch-up Contributions. The vested and
nonforfeitable interest of the Participant in his Controlled Account shall be determined by
reference to the Account from which the funds were originally transferred. The vested and
nonforfeitable interest in a Participant’s Employer and Matching Accounts shall be determined as
hereinafter provided. The vested and nonforfeitable interest of the Participant in any of his
Accounts subject to the vesting schedule selected in the Adoption Agreement shall not increase
after the date the Participant terminates employment.



Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement. Participants are 100% vested upon participation.





	(a)	 	Normal or Postponed Retirement. If a Participant terminates employment at or after his
Normal Retirement Age, he shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested and have a nonforfeitable
interest in his Employer and Matching Accounts. If a Participant continues in active
employment following his Normal Retirement Age, he shall continue to participate under the
Plan.
	 
	(b)	 	Disability. If a Participant terminates employment prior to his Normal Retirement Age due to
a Disability, he shall be vested and have a nonforfeitable interest in his Employer and
Matching Accounts as elected in the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. If a Participant terminates employment prior to his Normal Retirement Age due to a
Disability, he shall be fully vested and have a nonforfeitable interest in his Employer and
Matching Accounts.
	 
	(c)	 	Death. In the event of the death of a Participant before termination of employment with the
Employer and before Normal Retirement Age, the Participant shall be vested and have a
nonforfeitable interest in his Employer and Matching Accounts as elected in the Adoption
Agreement.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. In the event of the death of a Participant before termination of employment with
the Employer and before Normal Retirement Age, he shall be fully vested and have a
nonforfeitable interest in his Employer and Matching Accounts.
	 
	(d)	 	Termination of Plan. In the event of Plan termination (including termination resulting from
a complete discontinuance of contributions by the Employer), each Participant employed by the
Employer as of the date of such termination shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested and
have a nonforfeitable interest in all of his Accounts. In the event of a partial Plan
termination, each Participant employed by the Employer with respect to whom such partial
termination has occurred shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested and have a nonforfeitable
interest in all of his Accounts.
	 
	(e)	 	Early Retirement, Resignation, or Discharge. If the employment of a Participant terminates
by reason of early retirement, resignation, or discharge prior to his Normal Retirement Age,
he shall be vested and have a nonforfeitable interest in a percentage of his Employer and
Matching Accounts taking into account all of his Years of Vesting Service as of such
termination date in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	(f)	 	All Other Times. A Participant shall be vested and have a nonforfeitable interest in a
percentage of his Employer and Matching Accounts determined by taking into account all of his
Years of Vesting Service in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Adoption Agreement.




 









 






	(g)	 	Elapsed Time Method. If the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to use the
Elapsed Time Method to determine Years of Vesting Service, see the definition of that term for
the rules that apply for purposes of vesting.




2.4.2 Leave of Absence. The Plan Administrator shall not treat a temporary cessation
from active employment with the Employer pursuant to an authorized leave of absence in accordance
with the nondiscriminatory policy of the Employer, whether occasioned by illness, military service,
or any other reason, as either a termination of employment or a Break in Service so long as the
Employee returns to employment in a manner consistent with the authorized leave of absence.



2.4.3 Re-Employment. Unless otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement, in the case of a Participant who has five (5) or more consecutive Breaks in Service, all
Years of Vesting Service after such Breaks in Service shall be disregarded for vesting the
Employer-derived Account balance that accrued before such breaks, but both pre-break and post-break
service shall count for vesting the Employer-derived Account balance that accrues after such
breaks.



Account balances that accrued before and after such Break in Service shall share in the earnings
and losses of the Trust Fund.



In the case of a Participant who does not have five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, if the
Participant has received a distribution of his vested Account balance and repaid the amount of such
distribution to the Trustee, both the pre-break and post-break service shall count in vesting both
the pre-break and post-break Employer-derived Account balance.



2.4.4 Forfeitures. Unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, if a
Participant terminates service and elects, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, to
receive the value of the Participant’s vested Account balance, the nonvested portion shall be
treated as a Forfeiture as of the earlier of the last day of the Plan Year in which the Plan
Administrator distributes the Participant’s entire vested interest, or the last day of the Plan
Year of the 5th consecutive Break in Service. If the Participant elects to receive less than the
entire vested portion of the Account balance derived from Employer contributions, the portion
forfeited shall equal the total nonvested portion of such Account multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the distributed amount attributable to Employer contributions and the
denominator of which is the entire vested portion of such Account.



If a Participant receives a distribution from his Account when he has less than a one hundred
percent (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in the Account and the Participant resumes
employment covered under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall restore the Participant’s
Employer-derived Account balance to the amount on the date of distribution if the Participant
repays to the Plan the full amount of the distribution attributable to Employer contributions
before the earlier of five (5) years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently
re-employed by the Employer, or the date the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in
Service following the date of the distribution. If a Participant is deemed to receive a
distribution pursuant to this Section, and the Participant resumes employment covered under the
Plan before the date the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, upon the
reemployment of such Participant, the Plan Administrator shall restore the Employer-derived Account
balance of the Participant to the amount on the date of such deemed distribution as of the date of
the reemployment of such Participant.



If a Participant terminates service, and the value of the Participant’s vested Account balance
derived from Employer and Employee contributions is not greater than five thousand dollars ($5,000)
(or a dollar amount that is less, if elected in the Adoption Agreement), and the Participant
receives a distribution of the value of the entire vested portion of such Account balance, the Plan
Administrator shall treat the nonvested portion as a Forfeiture, unless elected otherwise in the
Adoption Agreement, as of the earlier of the last day of the Plan Year in which the Plan
Administrator distributes the Participant’s entire vested interest, or the last day of the Plan
Year of the 5th consecutive Break in Service. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, the portion of
the Account balance that is attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto)
within the meaning of Code sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16),
shall be excluded from the Participant’s Account balance for purposes of this Section. If a
Participant would have received a distribution





 









 







under the preceding but for the fact that the Participant’s vested Account balance exceeded five
thousand dollars ($5,000), or such lesser amount as elected above, when the Participant terminated
service and if at a later time such Account balance is reduced such that it is not greater than
five thousand dollars ($5,000), or such lesser amount as elected above, the Participant will
receive a distribution of such Account balance and the Plan Administrator will treat the nonvested
portion as a Forfeiture. If the value of a Participant’s vested Account balance is zero, the
Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested Account balance. A
Participant’s vested Account balance shall not include accumulated deductible Employee
contributions within the meaning of section 72(o)(5)(B) of the Code for Plan Years beginning prior
to January 1, 1989.



Unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan Administrator shall allocate such
Forfeiture in the same manner as a contribution by the Employer for the year in which said
Forfeiture occurred. For each Plan Year that Forfeitures are allocated, the Plan Administrator
shall designate the specific Employer contribution or contributions that the Forfeitures reduce or
supplement. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to use Forfeitures to offset
administrative expenses of the Plan to the extent the expenses are Plan expenses and not settlor
expenses.



Short Form. Unless otherwise elected, each Plan Year Forfeitures shall be first applied to offset
administrative expenses of the Plan to the extent the expenses are Plan expenses and not settlor
expenses and then shall supplement the Employer Contribution.



If a Participant is re-employed following a Break in Service and is entitled to restoration of any
amount of his Account that was forfeited because of such Break in Service, the Plan Administrator
shall restore such amount in the manner specified in the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form. If a Participant is re-employed following a Break in Service and is entitled to
restoration of any amount of his Account that was forfeited because of such Break in Service, the
Plan Administrator shall restore such amount from existing Forfeitures before they are used for any
other purpose.





 









 








ARTICLE V




DISTRIBUTIONS


2.5.1 Distributable Benefit.





	(a)	 	When the employment of a Participant terminates for any reason, he or his Beneficiary
shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the vested and nonforfeitable interest in his Accounts
as of the Distribution Determination Date. Such Accounts shall include the allocable share of
contributions and Forfeitures, if any, that may be allocated to said Accounts as of such
Distribution Determination Date and shall be determined after making the adjustments for which
provision is made in the Plan.
	 
	(b)	 	If the value of the Participant’s vested and nonforfeitable interest in the Plan at the time
of his termination of employment is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a
distribution of such interest as his Distributable Benefit as of the date his employment
terminated.
	 
	(c)	 	Minimum Distributable Benefit. (Not available in Short Form) If a Participant terminates
service, and the value of the Participant’s vested Account balance derived from Employer
Contributions is zero, the Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to provide such
Participant with a minimum Distributable Benefit.




2.5.2 General Rules.





	(a)	 	The requirements of this Article shall apply to any distribution of a Participant’s
Distributable Benefit and will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan.
Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this Article apply to calendar years beginning
after December 31, 2002.
	 
	(b)	 	All distributions required under this Article shall be determined and made in accordance with
Code section 401(a)(9) and the applicable regulations, including the minimum distribution
incidental benefit requirements of Code section 401(a)(9)(G). In the event that a provision of
this Plan conflicts with such requirements, such requirements shall govern.
	 
	(c)	 	As of the first Distribution Calendar Year (defined in Subsection 2.5.4(i)(1)),
distributions, if not made in a single sum, may only be made over one of the following periods
(or a combination thereof):






	 	(1)	 	The life of the Participant;
	 
	 	(2)	 	The life of the Participant and a Designated Beneficiary;
	 
	 	(3)	 	A period certain not extending beyond the Life Expectancy of the Participant; or
	 
	 	(4)	 	A period certain not extending beyond the joint and last survivor expectancy of the
Participant and a Designated Beneficiary.




2.5.3 Commencement of Distributions.





	(a)	 	Immediate Distribution. A Participant whose employment is terminated:




 









 












	 	(1)	 	On account of death, Disability, or attainment of Early or Normal Retirement Age may
elect (or his Beneficiary may elect) to begin distribution of his Distributable Benefit
within a reasonable period after the Distribution Determination Date, or as of the date
determined under Subsection (b), below, or
	 
	 	(2)	 	On account of resignation or discharge prior to his Early or Normal Retirement Age,
shall have the distribution of his Distributable Benefit governed by Subsection (b) below.






	 	 	Short Form. The Distribution Determination Date shall be as soon as practicable following the
date of termination, based on the preceding Valuation Date.
	 
	(b)	 	Deferred Distribution. Except in the case of amounts subject to Subsection 2.5.7(i) for
which a Participant’s consent is not required, unless the Adoption Agreement permits the
Employee to elect earlier commencement and the Employee so elects or the Employee elects to
further defer distribution, if the employment of a Participant is terminated by reason of
resignation or discharge prior to either his Early or Normal Retirement Age, distribution of
his Distributable Benefit shall be deferred and commenced no later than the sixtieth (60th)
day after the last day of the Plan Year in which the following occurs:






	 	(1)	 	The Participant attains the earlier of age sixty-five (65) or the Normal Retirement
Age;






	 	(2)	 	The Participant reaches the tenth (10th) anniversary of his participation in the
Plan; or






	 	(3)	 	The Participant terminates his employment with the Employer.






	 	 	Short Form. Distributions to Participants who resign, die, have a Disability, or are discharged
prior to retirement shall be made within a reasonable period following the Distribution
Determination Date. A Participant who terminates employment before satisfying the age
requirement for Normal Retirement, or Early Retirement if selected by the Employer, but has
satisfied any service requirement shall be entitled to a distribution of his Distributable
Benefit in accordance with Subsection (a) above upon attaining such age.
	 
	 	 	If the Participant becomes Disabled after termination of employment, he shall be entitled to
commence distribution of his vested Account balance as if he became Disabled prior to
termination of employment, however his vested Account balance will not increase if the
Participant becomes Disabled after the termination of his employment.
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant and the Participant’s spouse of the right
to defer any distribution while the Participant’s Account balance in the Plan is Immediately
Distributable, as defined in Subsection 2.5.4(i)(2). Such notice shall be given to the
Participant at least thirty (30), but no more than ninety (90), days before the distribution. A
Participant and the Participant’s spouse may elect a distribution commencing less than thirty
(30) days after the notice is provided to the Participant if the notice clearly indicates that
the Participant has at least thirty (30) days to decide whether to consent to the distribution.
The failure of a Participant or the Participant’s spouse to consent to a distribution while a
benefit is Immediately Distributable shall be deemed to be an election to defer commencement of
benefits under this Section. If the Plan meets the requirements of Subsection 2.5.7(k), only
the Participant must consent to the distribution of an Account balance that is Immediately
Distributable.




2.5.4 Required Minimum Distributions.





	(a)	 	Required Beginning Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless the
Participant has






 











 






	 	 	made an appropriate TEFRA 242(b)(2) election, as described in Subsection 2.5.4(j), that has
not been revoked or modified, the Participant’s entire benefit shall be distributed, or begin
to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Required Beginning Date.
	 
	(b)	 	Timing of Distributions if Participant Dies Before Distributions Begin.






	 	(1)	 	If the Participant dies before required distributions begin, the Participant’s entire
interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:






	 	(i)	 	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated
Beneficiary, then, except as provided in the Adoption Agreement, distributions to the
surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following
the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar
year in which the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2, if later.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole
Designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided in the Adoption Agreement,
distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar
year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of the date of the Participant’s
death who remains a Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year immediately following
the year the Participant died, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed
by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
Participant’s death.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated
Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before
distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Subsection 2.5.4(b), other than
Subsection 2.5.4(b)(1)(i), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
Participant.






	 	(2)	 	For purposes of this Subsection 2.5.4(b) and Subsections 2.5.4(f) and (g),
distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date unless
Subsection 2.5.4(b)(1)(iv) applies. If Subsection 2.5.4(b)(1)(iv) applies, distributions
are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving
spouse under Subsection 2.5.4(b)(1)(i). If distributions under an annuity purchased from
an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s
Required Beginning Date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date
distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Subsection
2.5.4(b)(1)(i)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions
actually commence.
	 
	 	(3)	 	If the Adoption Agreement permits Participants and Beneficiaries to elect the 5-year
rule, the election must be made no later than the earlier of:






	 	(i)	 	September 30 of the calendar year in which the distribution would be
required under Subsections 2.5.4(b)(1)(i) or (ii), or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	By September 30 of the calendar year that contains the fifth anniversary of
the Participant’s (or if applicable, the surviving spouse’s) death.






	 	 	If this election is made, then the Participant’s entire interest must be distributed by
December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.




Short Form. Participants or Beneficiaries may elect to apply the 5-year rule to distributions
regarding a





 









 







Participant who dies before distributions begin.





	(c)	 	Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an
annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the Required
Beginning Date, distributions will be made in accordance with Subsections 2.5.4(d) and (f) as
of the first Distribution Calendar Year. If the Participant’s interest is distributed in the
form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made
in accordance with the requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) and the applicable regulations.
	 
	(d)	 	Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. During the Participant’s
lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is
the lesser of:






	 	(1)	 	The quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the
distribution period set forth in the Uniform Lifetime Table found in Treasury Regulations
section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-2, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday
in the Distribution Calendar Year; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	If the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year
is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account
Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Treasury
Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-3, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained
ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.






	(e)	 	Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death.
Required Minimum Distributions will be determined under Subsection 2.5.4(d) beginning with the
first Distribution Calendar Year and continuing up to, and including, the Distribution
Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.
	 
	(f)	 	Required Minimum Distributions On or After Date Required Distributions Begin.






	 	(1)	 	Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after
the date required distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum
amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the
Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance
by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life
Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:






	 	(i)	 	The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated in accordance
with the Single Life Table found in Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9,
Q&A-1, using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each
subsequent year.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated
Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated
using the Single Life Table found in Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9,
Q&A-1, for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death
using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For
Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the
remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the
surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s
death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole
Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is
calculated under the Single Life Table using the age of the Beneficiary in the year
following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent
year.




 









 












	 	(2)	 	No Designated Beneficiary Survives. If the Participant dies on or after the date
required distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of the
Participant’s date of death who remains a beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after
the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient
obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the Participant’s remaining Life
Expectancy under the Single Life Table calculated using the age of the Participant in the
year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.






	(g)	 	Distribution Amount If Participant Dies Before Date Required Distributions Begin.






	 	(1)	 	Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the
date required distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum
amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the
Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance
by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined
as provided in Subsection 2.5.4(f). If permitted in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant
or Designated Beneficiary may elect to receive distributions over the five-year period
described in Subsection 2.5.4(b)(3).
	 
	 	(2)	 	No Designated Beneficiary Survives. If the Participant dies before the date
distributions begin and all Designated Beneficiaries, if any, as of the Participant’s date
of death are no longer Beneficiaries as of September 30 of the year following the year of
the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest must be
completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
Participant’s death.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to
Begin. If all of the following are true, this Subsection 2.5.4(g) will apply as if the
surviving spouse were the Participant:






	 	(i)	 	The Participant dies before the date distributions begin,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated
Beneficiary, and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to
the surviving spouse under Subsection 2.5.4(b)(1).






	(h)	 	Asset Rollovers and Transfers.
	 
	 	 	If a Participant requests a rollover of his benefits to a qualified plan not maintained by the
Employer during his first or subsequent Distribution Calendar Year, or a Participant’s benefits
are transferred to another qualified plan, such rollover or transfer shall be reduced by the
Required Minimum Distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year under Code section 401(a)(9)
and the reduction shall be distributed to the Participant by the appropriate date.
	 
	 	 	If the Plan receives a rollover or transfer with respect to a Participant who has reached his
Required Beginning Date, the Plan shall distribute the Required Minimum Distribution under Code
section 401(a)(9) beginning with the following calendar year. In the event that the beneficiary
or method of distribution with respect to transferred assets differs from the Beneficiary or
method of distribution of this Plan, the Plan will segregate the transferred assets and
continue to distribute the benefits from the originating plan in accordance with the method of
distribution and Life Expectancy of the originating plan.
	 
	(i)	 	Definitions.




 









 












	 	(1)	 	Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is
required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first
Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year
that contains the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. For distributions beginning after
the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in
which distributions are required to begin under Subsection 2.5.4(b)(1). The Required
Minimum Distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made
on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. The Required Minimum Distribution
for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the Required Minimum Distribution for the
Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will
be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Immediately Distributable. A Participant’s Account Balance is Immediately
Distributable if any part of the Account Balance could be distributed to the Participant,
(or surviving spouse), before the Participant attains, (or would have attained if not
deceased), the later of age sixty-two (62) or his Normal Retirement Age.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Life Expectancy. Life Expectancy as computed by use of one of the following tables,
found in Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9, as appropriate:






	 	(i)	 	Single Life Table;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Uniform Life Table; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Joint and Last Survivor Table






	 	(4)	 	Participant’s Account Balance. (For purposes of Required Minimum Distributions
only.)






	 	(i)	 	The calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year is
the “valuation calendar year.” The Participant’s Account Balance as of the last
Valuation Date in the valuation calendar year is increased by the amount of any
contributions made and allocated or Forfeitures allocated to the Participant’s
Account Balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date
and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the
Valuation Date. If an amount is distributed or transferred from another source during
the valuation calendar year, that amount is included in the Participant’s Account
Balance for the valuation calendar year regardless if such amount is transferred or
rolled over to the Plan in the valuation calendar year or in the Distribution
Calendar Year.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Exception for second Distribution Calendar Year. For purposes of Subsection
(i) above, if any portion of the minimum distribution for the first Distribution
Calendar Year is made in the second Distribution Calendar Year on or before the
Required Beginning Date, the amount of the minimum distribution made in the second
Distribution Calendar Year shall be treated as if it had been made in the immediately
preceding Distribution Calendar Year.






	 	(5)	 	Required Beginning Date.






	 	(i)	 	General rule. The Required Beginning Date of a Participant is the first
day of April of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
Participant attains age seventy and one-half (701/2).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Non-5-Percent Owner Exception. If so elected in the Adoption Agreement,
the Required Beginning Date of a Participant who is not a 5-Percent Owner shall be
the first day of April of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year
in which the Participant retires or the calendar year in which the Participant
attains age seventy and one-half (701/2).




 









 






	 	 	 	Short Form. In the case of the Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreements the
Non-5-Percent Owner Exception does not apply.




	 	(iii)	 	Transition Rule:






	 	(A)	 	If previously elected by the Employer, any Participant who is not a
5-Percent Owner and attains age 701/2 in years after 1995 may elect by April 1 of
the calendar year following the year in which the Participant attained age 701/2,
(or by December 31, 1997 in the case of a Participant attaining age 701/2 in 1996)
to defer distributions until the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the Participant retires. If no such election is made the Participant who is
not a 5-Percent Owner will begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the
calendar year following the year in which the Participant attained age 701/2 (or by
December 31, 1997 in the case of a Participant attaining age 701/2 in 1996).
	 
	 	(B)	 	If previously elected by the Employer, any Participant who attained
age 701/2 in years prior to 1997 but not earlier than January 1, 1996, was
permitted to elect to stop distributions and recommence by the April 1 of the
calendar year following the year in which the Participant retires. An Employer
who adopted this option selected either:






	 	(1)	 	A new Annuity Starting Date upon recommencement, or
	 
	 	(2)	 	No new Annuity Starting Date upon recommencement.






	 	(C)	 	If previously elected by the Employer, the preretirement age 701/2
distribution option was only eliminated with respect to Employees who reach age
701/2 in or after a calendar year that begins after the later of December 31, 1998,
or the date that the Employer adopted the GUST Restatement of this Plan.






	 	(iv)	 	5-Percent Owner.A Participant is treated as a 5-Percent Owner for purposes
of this Section if such Participant is a 5-Percent Owner as defined in Part I,
Article II at any time during the Plan Year ending with or within the calendar year
in which such owner attains age seventy and one-half (701/2). Once distributions have
begun to a 5-Percent Owner under this Section, they must continue to be distributed,
even if the Participant ceases to be a 5-Percent Owner in a subsequent year.






	(j)	 	TEFRA Section 242(b)(2)Election.






	 	(1)	 	Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Article and subject to the
requirements of Sections 2.5.6 and 2.5.7, distribution on behalf of any Employee,
including a 5-Percent Owner, may be made in accordance with all of the following
requirements (regardless of when such distribution commences):






	 	(i)	 	The distribution by the Plan is one that would not have disqualified the
Plan under Code section 401(a)(9) as in effect prior to amendment by the Deficit
Reduction Act of 1984.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution designated
by the Employee whose interest in the Plan is being distributed or, if the Employee
is deceased, by a Beneficiary of such Employee.




 









 






	 	(iii)	 	Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Employee or the
Beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The Employee had an Account balance under the Plan as of December 31, 1983.
	 
	 	(v)	 	The method of distribution designated by the Employee or the Beneficiary
specifies the time at which distribution will commence, the period over which
distributions will be made, and in the case of any distribution upon the Employee’s
death, the Beneficiaries of the Employee listed in order of priority.






	 	(2)	 	A distribution upon death will not be covered by this transitional rule unless the
information in the designation contains the required information described above with
respect to the distributions to be made upon the death of the Employee.
	 
	 	(3)	 	For any distribution that commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after
December 31, 1983, the Employee or the Beneficiary to whom such distribution is being made
will be presumed to have designated the method of distribution under which the
distribution is being made if the method of distribution was specified in writing and the
distribution satisfies the requirements in Subsections 2.5.4(j)(1)(i) and (v).
	 
	 	(4)	 	If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the
requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) and the applicable regulations. If a designation is
revoked subsequent to the date distributions to a Participant were required to begin, the
Plan must distribute, by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which
the revocation occurs, the total amount not yet distributed that would have been required
to have been distributed to the Participant to satisfy Code section 401(a)(9) and the
applicable regulations, but for the TEFRA section 242(b)(2) election. For calendar years
beginning after December 31, 1988, such distributions must meet the minimum distribution
incidental benefit requirements. Any changes in the designation will be considered to be a
revocation of the designation. However, the mere substitution or addition of another
Beneficiary (one not named in the designation) under the designation will not be
considered to be a revocation of the designation, so long as such substitution or addition
does not alter the period over which distributions are to be made under the designation,
directly or indirectly (for example, by altering the relevant measuring life).
	 
	 	(5)	 	If an amount is transferred or rolled over from one plan to another plan, the rules
in Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-8, Q&A 14 and Q&A 15 shall apply.




2.5.5 Distribution Determination Date. The Distribution Determination Date shall be
determined as follows:





	(a)	 	General. For purposes of determining the amount to be distributed, the Distribution
Determination Date shall be determined in the manner specified in the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. Distributions to Participants who resign, die, have a Disability, or are discharged
prior to retirement shall be made at the Participant’s election within a reasonable period as
soon as practical following the date of termination, based on the preceding Valuation Date.
	 
	(b)	 	Termination of Plan. In the event of Plan termination (including termination resulting from
a complete discontinuance of contributions by the Employer), the Distribution Determination
Date shall be the date of such termination. In the event of a partial Plan termination, the
Distribution Determination Date for each Participant with respect to whom such partial
termination has occurred shall be the last day of the Plan Year coinciding with or immediately
following the date of such partial termination.
	 
	(c)	 	Distributions following Distribution Determination Date. Subject to the necessity, if any,
of obtaining




 









 






	 	 	the consent of a Participant and spouse, distribution of a Participant’s Distributable Benefit
shall commence within a reasonable period after the Distribution Determination Date, unless
otherwise elected by the Participant in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or as
required by the provisions of the Plan. A distribution shall not be made to a Participant if he
is reemployed prior to the date his benefit would have been distributed.




2.5.6 Methods of Distribution. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.5.3 and 2.5.4
above and any security interest in a loan from the Plan for which any necessary spousal consent has
been obtained (to the extent such security interest is used as repayment of the loan), distribution
shall be made by one of the following methods, as determined in accordance with the election of the
Participant (or in the case of death, his Beneficiary) with such spousal consents as may be
required by law: Notwithstanding any election in the Adoption Agreement, Beneficiaries may elect to
receive Required Minimum Distributions in the form of installment payments.





	(a)	 	Lump Sums. In a single distribution, as designated by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement; however, if the consent of the Participant is not required because the
Participant’s vested Account balance is five thousand dollars ($5,000) (or less, if elected in
the Adoption Agreement) the default method of distribution of such Account balance shall be a
Direct Rollover. The Employer may set a minimum Account balance to which this shall apply.
This default Direct Rollover applies only if the terminating Participant fails to request
affirmatively a cash payment, a Direct Rollover to another qualified plan, or an IRA
designated by the terminating Participant. The Plan Administrator shall select an IRA trustee,
custodian, or issuer (the “trustee”) that is unrelated to the Employer, shall establish the
IRA with that trustee on behalf of the terminating Participant who fails affirmatively to
elect a Direct Rollover of a cash distribution, and make the initial investment choices for
the account.
	 
	(b)	 	Installments. In substantially equal annual, quarterly, or monthly installments over a
period of more than one (1) year but not in excess of the period designated in the Adoption
Agreement, as selected by the Participant (provided that such period is not greater than the
Participant’s life expectancy or the Participant’s and the Participant’s Designated
Beneficiaries’ joint life expectancy as of the Annuity Starting Date), plus accrued net
income. If distribution is to be made in installments, the Plan Administrator may transfer the
undistributed portion of the Distributable Benefit to a Segregated Account, from which
installment payments shall thereafter be withdrawn from time to time.
	 
	(c)	 	Annuities. By the purchase and delivery of a single premium, nontransferable, fully
refundable, annuity policy issued by a legal reserve life insurance company payable in equal
installments for the life of the Participant that terminates upon the Participant’s death, or
providing for payments over such period as may be designated in the Adoption Agreement as
selected by the Participant; provided, however, unless the Employer has designated a life
annuity distribution option in the Adoption Agreement, in the event of distribution of such an
annuity policy to a Participant, such duration shall be for a fixed duration that is less than
the Participant’s life expectancy as of the Annuity Starting Date. Such annuity shall conform
to all provisions set forth herein. Any refund feature under such annuity policy following the
death of the Participant shall inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Beneficiary.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. If an annuity form of distribution is selected in the Adoption Agreement the term
of the annuity shall be for the joint life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant’s
spouse or Beneficiary. The survivor annuity percentage for any joint and survivor annuity shall
be 50%.
	 
	(d)	 	Automatic Rollovers. Effective for distributions on and after March 28, 2005, in the event
of a mandatory distribution greater than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or some lesser amount,
in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 2.5.6(a), if the Participant does not elect to
have such distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the
Participant in a Direct Rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with
Subsection 2.5.6(a), then the Plan Administrator will pay the distribution in a Direct
Rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator. For purposes
of determining whether a mandatory distribution is greater than one thousand dollars ($1,000),
the portion of the Participant’s distribution attributable to any rollover contribution is
included.




 









 






	(e)	 	Direct Rollovers. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would
otherwise limit a Distributee’s election under the Plan, for distributions made after December
31, 2001, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan
Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution that is equal to at
least five hundred dollars ($500) paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by
the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. If an Eligible Rollover Distribution is less than $500,
a Distributee may not make the election described in the preceding sentence to roll over a
portion of the Eligible Rollover Distribution.
	 
	(f)	 	Mandatory Cash Out. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to require the
distribution of a Participant’s vested Account balance if its value, determined as of a date
following the Participant’s date of termination of employment with the Employer, is $5,000 (or
some lesser amount elected in the Adoption Agreement). If a distribution is required under
this provision, the Participant will receive an immediate cash-out of his vested Account
balance and no further benefits will be payable from the Plan. If the value of a Participant’s
vested Account balance exceeds the threshold amount, an immediate cash-out shall not be made
unless the Participant, and if applicable, his spouse, or his Beneficiary consent to such
distribution.
	 
	 	 	The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to exclude that portion of a Participant’s
Account balance that is attributable to Rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto)
within the meaning of Code sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and
457(e)(16) in the determination of the Participant’s nonforfeitable Account balance.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. In the case of the Short Form Adoption Agreement the Mandatory Cash out amount
shall always be $1000.
	 
	(g)	 	Alternative Distribution Methods. Any alternative distribution method of equivalent value
that was contained in the Plan at any time on or after the first day of the first Plan Year
beginning after 1988 to which the Participant consents.




2.5.7 Annuity and Consent Requirements.





	(a)	 	Requirement of Annuity Payment. Except as provided in Subsection 2.5.7(k) below, a
married Participant’s vested Account balance will be paid in the form of a Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity, and an unmarried Participant’s vested Account balance will be paid in the
form of a life annuity, unless the Participant makes a qualified election of an optional form
of benefit within the 90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. Unless the
Participant has made a qualified election of an optional form of benefit within the election
period, if the Participant dies before the Annuity Starting Date and has a surviving spouse,
the Participant’s vested Account balance shall be used to purchase a Qualified Preretirement
Survivor Annuity.
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, if the Plan is designated in the Adoption
Agreement as a Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan or a Profit Sharing Plan and the Employer
does not designate a life annuity distribution option in the Adoption Agreement, the Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity and Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity forms of distribution
shall not be available, except in the case of transfers under Subsection 3.9.3(b). However, a
Participant’s surviving spouse shall be entitled to elect distribution of the Participant’s
vested Account balance in the manner provided by Section 3.6.3.
	 
	 	 	A Participant’s vested Account balance is the aggregate value of the Participant’s vested
Account balances derived from Employer and Employee contributions (including rollovers),
whether vested before or upon death, including the proceeds of insurance contracts, if any, on
the Participant’s life or the life of someone in whom the Participant has an insurable
interest. The provisions hereof shall apply to a Participant who is vested in amounts
attributable to Employer contributions, Employee contributions (or




 









 






	 	 	both) at the time of death or distribution.
	 
	 	 	The Participant may elect to have such annuity distributed upon attainment of the earliest
retirement age under the Plan. A surviving spouse may elect to have such annuity distributed
within the 90-day period commencing on the date of the Participant’s death.
	 
	 	 	Spousal consent under this provision shall be subject to the spousal consent requirements of
Subsection 2.5.7(k).
	 
	(b)	 	Election to Waive Annuity Payment. At any time during the applicable election period, a
Participant and his spouse may elect to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form of
benefit or the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity form of benefit (or both) and may
revoke any such election. There is no limit to the number of times that an election or a
revocation may be made by a Participant.
	 
	(c)	 	Spousal Consent Required. An election to waive any annuity form of benefit shall not take
effect unless (1) the spouse of the Participant consents in writing to the election, such
election designates a specific Beneficiary, including any class of Beneficiaries or contingent
Beneficiaries, or, solely in the case of a waiver of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, a
form of benefit, that may not be changed without spousal consent (or the consent of the spouse
expressly permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent
by the spouse), and the spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of such election and is
witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public, or (2) the Participant establishes to
the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that such consent cannot be obtained because there
is no spouse, because the spouse cannot be located, or because of other circumstances
permitted by applicable regulations.
	 
	 	 	Any consent by a spouse obtained under this provision (or establishment that the consent of a
spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such spouse. A consent that
permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by such
spouse must acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific
Beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the spouse voluntarily
elects to relinquish either or both of such rights.
	 
	 	 	A Participant may revoke a prior waiver without the consent of the spouse at any time before
the commencement of benefits. The number of waivers and revocations shall not be limited. No
consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless the Participant has received notice
as provided in Subsection (d) below.
	 
	(d)	 	Written Explanations. No less than thirty (30) days and no more than ninety (90) days before
the Annuity Starting Date, the Plan Administrator shall provide each Participant a written
explanation of:






	 	(1)	 	The terms and conditions of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity;
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Participant’s right to make and the effect of an election to waive the Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity form of benefit;
	 
	 	(3)	 	The rights of the Participant’s spouse to consent to a Participant’s election; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	The right to make and the effect of a revocation of an election.






	 	 	The Plan Administrator shall provide to each Participant within the Applicable Period a written
explanation of a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity comparable to that provided with
respect to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.
	 
	(e)	 	Applicable Period. The Applicable Period means with respect to a Participant, whichever of
the following




 









 






	 	 	periods ends last:






	 	(1)	 	The period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant
attains age thirty-two (32) and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding the Plan
Year in which the Participant attains age thirty-five (35).
	 
	 	(2)	 	A reasonable period ending after the individual becomes a Participant.
	 
	 	(3)	 	A reasonable period ending after the Plan ceases to fully subsidize costs.
	 
	 	(4)	 	A reasonable period ending after Code section 401(a)(11) first applies to the
Participant.
	 
	 	(5)	 	A reasonable period ending after separation from service in case of a Participant who
separates before attaining age thirty-five (35). For purposes of applying the foregoing, a
reasonable period ending after the enumerated events described in (2), (3) and (4) is the
end of the two-year period beginning one (1) year prior to the date the applicable event
occurs and ending one (1) year after that date. In the case of a Participant who separates
from service before the Plan Year in which age thirty-five (35) is attained, notice shall
be provided within the two-year period beginning prior to separation and ending one (1)
year after separation. If such a Participant thereafter returns to employment with the
Employer, the Applicable Period for such Participant shall be redetermined.






	(f)	 	Applicable Election Period. The applicable election period means:






	 	(1)	 	in the case of an election to waive a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, the
90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. In any case to which this Subsection
applies, the applicable election period under this Section 2.5.7 shall not end before the
thirtieth (30th) day after the date on which such explanation is provided; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	in the case of an election to waive a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, the
period that begins on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age
thirty-five (35) and ends on the date of the Participant’s death; provided, that in the
case of a Participant who is separated from service, such period shall not begin later
than the date of such separation from service.




A Participant who will not yet attain age thirty-five (35) as of the end of any current Plan Year
may make a special qualified election to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity for the
period beginning on the date of such election and ending on the first day of the Plan Year in which
the Participant will attain age thirty-five (35). Such election shall not be valid unless the
Participant receives a written explanation of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity in such
terms as are comparable to the explanation required under Subsection (d). Qualified Preretirement
Survivor Annuity coverage will be automatically reinstated as of the first day of the Plan Year in
which the Participant attains age thirty-five (35). Any new waiver on or after such date shall be
subject to the full requirements of this Section.





	(g)	 	Exception if Participant not Married for a Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefits
under the Plan shall not be provided in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or
a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity unless the Participant and his spouse have been
married throughout the one (1) year period ending on the earlier of the Participant’s Annuity
Starting Date or the date of the Participant’s death.




If a Participant marries within one (1) year before the Annuity Starting Date and the Participant
and his spouse in such marriage have been married for at least a one (1) year period ending on or
before the date of the Participant’s death, the Participant and such spouse shall be treated as
having been married throughout the required period. A former spouse shall be treated as the spouse
or surviving spouse, and a current spouse will not be treated as the spouse or surviving spouse, to
the extent provided under a Qualified Domestic Relations





 









 







Order as described in Code section 414(p).





	(h)	 	Terms of Annuity Contracts. Any annuity contract distributed from the Plan must be
nontransferable. The terms of any annuity contract purchased and distributed by the Plan to a
Participant or spouse shall comply with the requirements of the Plan. If the Participant’s
benefit is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company,
distributions thereunder shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Code section
401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder.
	 
	(i)	 	Consent to Distributions. If payment in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity
is required with respect to a Participant and either the value of a Participant’s vested
Account balance derived from Employer and Employee contributions exceeds five thousand dollars
($5,000) or there are remaining payments to be made with respect to a particular distribution
option that previously commenced, and the Account balance is Immediately Distributable, as
defined in Subsection 2.5.4(i)(2), the Participant must consent to any distribution of such
Account balance.




If payment in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is not required with respect to a
Participant and the value of a Participant’s vested Account balance derived from Employer and
Employee contributions exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000), and the Account balance is
Immediately Distributable, as defined in Subsection 2.5.4(i)(2), the Participant and the
Participant’s spouse (or where either the Participant or the spouse has died, the survivor) must
consent to any distribution of such Account Balance. The consent shall be obtained in writing
within the 90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. The need for spousal consent is
subject to Subsection 2.5.7(k).



Neither the consent of the Participant nor the Participant’s spouse shall be required to the extent
that a distribution is required to satisfy Code sections 401(a)(9) or 415. In addition, upon
termination of the Plan if the Plan does not offer an annuity option (purchased from a commercial
provider) and if the Employer or any entity within the same controlled group does not maintain
another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code
section 4975(e)(7)), the Plan Administrator shall distribute the Participant’s Account balance in
the Plan to the Participant without the Participant’s consent. However, if any entity within the
same controlled group as the Employer maintains another defined contribution plan (other than an
employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code section 4975(e)(7)), then the Plan Administrator
will transfer the Participant’s Account balance to the other Plan, without the Participant’s
consent, if the Participant does not consent to an immediate distribution.





	(j)	 	Restrictions on Immediate Distributions. The Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant
and the Participant’s spouse of the right to defer any distribution until the Participant’s
Account balance in the Plan is no longer Immediately Distributable. Such notification shall
include a general description of the material features and an explanation of the relative
values of the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan in a manner that would
satisfy the notice requirements of Code section 417(a)(3) and shall be provided no less than
thirty (30) days and no more than ninety (90) days prior to the Annuity Starting Date.




Such distribution may commence less than thirty (30) days after the notice required under Treasury
Regulations section 1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that:





	 	(1)	 	The Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a
right to a period of at least thirty (30) days after receiving the notice to consider the
decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and if applicable, a particular
distribution option),
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution,
	 
	 	(3)	 	The distribution commences more than seven (7) days after such explanation is
provided,
	 
	 	(4)	 	The Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative distribution election at least
until the Annuity Starting Date or, if later, at any time prior to the expiration of the
7-day period that begins the day




 









 






	 	 	 	after the explanation of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is provided to the
Participant, and
	 
	 	(5)	 	The Annuity Starting Date is a date after the date that the written explanation was
provided to the Participant.






	(k)	 	Exception to Spousal Consent Requirements. This Section shall apply to a Participant in a
plan designated as either a Cash or Deferred Arrangement or Profit Sharing Plan.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no spousal consent shall be required for any
distribution or Participant loan if the following conditions are satisfied:






	 	(1)	 	The Participant does not or cannot elect payments in the form of a life annuity; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	On the death of a Participant, the Participant’s vested Account balance will be paid
to the Participant’s surviving spouse, but if there is no surviving spouse, or if the
surviving spouse has consented in a manner conforming to a qualified election, then to the
Participant’s Designated Beneficiary.




The surviving spouse may elect to have distribution of the vested Account balance commence with the
90-day period following the date of the Participant’s death. The Account balance shall be adjusted
for gains or losses occurring after the Participant’s death in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan governing the adjustment of Account balances for other types of distributions. This
Subsection shall not be operative with respect to a Participant in a plan designated as a Profit
Sharing Plan or Cash of Deferred Arrangement for that portion of the Plan that is a direct or
indirect transferee of a defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, a target benefit plan, stock
bonus, or profit sharing plan that is subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code sections
401(a)(11) and 417.





	(l)	 	Transitional Rules.






	 	(1)	 	Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who would otherwise
not receive the benefits prescribed by the previous Sections of the Article must be given
the opportunity to elect to have the prior Sections of this Article apply if such
Participant is credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service under this Plan or a
predecessor plan in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1976, and such
Participant has at least ten (10) years of vesting service when he or she separated from
service.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who was credited
with at least one (1) Hour of Service under this Plan or a predecessor plan on or after
September 2, 1974, and who is not otherwise credited with any service in a Plan Year
beginning on or after January 1, 1976, must be given the opportunity to have his or her
benefits paid in accordance with Subsection (4) below.
	 
	 	(3)	 	The respective opportunities to elect (as described above) must be afforded to the
appropriate Participants during the period commencing on August 23, 1984, and ending on
the date benefits would otherwise commence to said Participants.
	 
	 	(4)	 	Any Participant who has elected pursuant to Subsection (2) above and any Participant
who does not elect under Subsection (1) or who meets the requirements of Subsection (1)
except that such Participant does not have at least ten (10) years of vesting service when
he or she separates from service, shall have his benefits distributed in accordance with
all of the following requirements if benefits would have been payable in the form of a
life annuity:






	 	(i)	 	Automatic Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. If benefits in the form of
a life annuity become payable to a married Participant who:




 









 












	 	(A)	 	Begins to receive payments under the Plan on or after Normal
Retirement Age; or
	 
	 	(B)	 	Dies on or after Normal Retirement Age while still working for the
Employer; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	Begins to receive payments on or after the qualified Early
Retirement Age; or
	 
	 	(D)	 	Separates from service on or after attaining Normal Retirement Age
(or the qualified Early Retirement Age) and after satisfying the eligibility
requirements for the payment of benefits under the Plan and thereafter dies
before beginning to receive such benefits;






	 	 	 	then such benefits will be received under this Plan in the form of a Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity, unless the Participant has elected otherwise during the election period.
The election period must begin at least six (6) months before the Participant attains
qualified Early Retirement Age and end not more than ninety (90) days before the
commencement of benefits. Any election hereunder will be in writing and may be changed by
the Participant at any time.






	 	(ii)	 	Election of early survivor annuity. A Participant who is employed after
attaining the qualified Early Retirement Age will be given the opportunity to elect,
during the election period, to have a survivor annuity payable on death.






	 	 	 	If the Participant elects the survivor annuity, payments under such annuity must not be
less than the payments that would have been made to the spouse under the Qualified Joint
and Survivor Annuity if the Participant had retired on the day before his or her death.
Any election under this provision will be in writing and may be changed by the Participant
at any time. The election period begins on the later of (1) the ninetieth (90th) day
before the Participant attains the qualified Early Retirement Age, or (2) the date on
which participation begins, and ends on the date the Participant terminates employment.






	 	(iii)	 	For purposes of this Subsection (4):






	 	(A)	 	Qualified Early Retirement Age is the later of:






	 	(i)	 	The earliest date, under the Plan, on which the
Participant may elect to receive retirement benefits;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The first day of the one hundred twentieth (120th) month
beginning before the Participant reaches Normal Retirement Age; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The date the Participant begins participation.






	 	(B)	 	Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is an annuity for the life of
the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the spouse as otherwise
described in the Plan.






	(m)	 	General Rules for Spousal Consent. This Section shall apply to a Participant in a plan
designated as either a Cash or Deferred Arrangement or Profit Sharing Plan. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, no spousal consent shall be required for any distribution or
Participant loan if the following conditions are satisfied:






	 	(1)	 	The Participant does not or cannot elect payments in the form of a life annuity; and




 









 






	 	(2)	 	On the death of a Participant, the Participant’s vested Account balance will be paid
to the Participant’s surviving spouse, but if there is no surviving spouse, or if the
surviving spouse has consented in a manner conforming to a qualified election, then to the
Participant’s Designated Beneficiary.




The surviving spouse may elect to have distribution of the vested Account balance commence with the
90-day period following the date of the Participant’s death. The Account balance shall be adjusted
for gains or losses occurring after the Participant’s death in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan governing the adjustment of Account balances for other types of distributions.



This Subsection (m) shall not apply with respect to a Participant in a plan designated as a Profit
Sharing Plan or Cash or Deferred Arrangement for that portion of the Plan that is a direct or
indirect transferee of a defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, a target benefit plan, stock
bonus, or profit sharing plan that is subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code sections
401(a)(11) and 417.



2.5.8 Nature of Distributions.





	(a)	 	Trust Fund and Segregated Funds. Except as provided in Subsection (b) with regard to
Life Insurance Policies and the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity requirements in Section
2.5.7, distribution of a Participant’s Distributable Benefit shall consist of cash, property,
or an annuity, or a combination thereof. If a distribution includes property, the property
shall be valued at its fair market value as of the date of distribution.
	 
	(b)	 	Insurance Policies. In the event that the Trustee has purchased one or more Life Insurance
Policies on the life of the Participant, or someone in whom the Participant has an insurable
interest, the values and benefits available with respect to each such Policy shall be
distributed as follows:






	 	(1)	 	If the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason other than death, the
Trustee, at the election of the Participant, shall either (i) surrender the Life Insurance
Policy for its available cash value and distribute the proceeds as provided in Subsection
(a) above or (ii) distribute the Life Insurance Policy to the Participant, provided the
Participant’s vested Account balance is at least equal to the policy’s cash value.
	 
	 	(2)	 	If the Participant dies, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to the full
amount of the policy proceeds.




The Trustee shall apply for and be the owner of any Policies purchased under the terms of the Plan.
The Policies must provide that the proceeds are payable to the Trustee subject to the Trustee’s
obligation to pay over the proceeds to the Participant’s Beneficiary. A Participant’s spouse will
be the Designated Beneficiary of the proceeds of such Policies unless a qualified election has been
made in accordance with Section 2.5.7 of the Plan, if applicable. Under no circumstances shall the
Trust retain any part of the proceeds. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan
and the terms of any Policies purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall control.





	 	(3)	 	In the event the Trustee purchases a Life Insurance Policy on the life of someone
other than the Participant pursuant to this Plan, and such other person shall die, the
Participant may withdraw the life insurance proceeds to the extent they exceed the
policy’s cash value immediately prior to such death.




2.5.9 Advance Distributions. If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to
permit advance distribution to a Participant or his Beneficiary after his employment has terminated
or after he reaches Normal





 









 







Retirement Age but continues his employment, and before he is otherwise entitled to distribution of
his Distributable Benefit but in no event earlier than a reasonable period following the
Distribution Determination Date, the Trustee upon the request of the Participant or Beneficiary
shall make advance distributions to him or to his Beneficiary. The aggregate of such advance
distributions shall not exceed the sum of the vested and nonforfeitable interest in the
Participant’s Accounts.



Short Form. Advance Distributions always permitted.



If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to forfeit nonvested amounts immediately upon
distribution of the Employee’s entire vested Account balance on termination of service, an Employee
who terminates service and elects to receive the value of the Employee’s vested Account balance
shall forfeit the nonvested portion. If the Employee elects to receive a distribution of less than
the entire vested portion of the Account balance derived from Employer Contributions, the part of
the nonvested portion that is treated as a Forfeiture is the total nonvested portion multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the distribution attributable to Employer
contributions and the denominator of which is the total value of the vested Employer derived
Account balance.



Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, if a Participant receives a distribution that
reduces the balance in his Employer Account when he has less than a one hundred percent (100%)
vested and nonforfeitable interest in the Account, the amount, if any, of the Participant’s vested
and nonforfeitable interest in the undistributed balance of said Account at any relevant time shall
not be less than an amount (“X”) determined by the formula: X = P (AB + (R x D)) — (R x D). For
purposes of applying the formula: P is the vested percentage at the relevant time; AB is the
Account balance at the relevant time; D is the amount of the distribution; and R is the ratio of
the Account balance at the relevant time to the Account balance after distribution.



2.5.10 Hardship Distributions of Elective Deferrals. If the Plan is designated in the
Adoption Agreement as a Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan and the Employer elects in the
Adoption Agreement to permit Hardship distributions of Elective Deferrals, a Participant may
request a distribution from the Plan as a result of immediate and heavy financial needs of the
Participant to the extent that the distribution is necessary to satisfy such financial needs. The
availability of Hardship distributions to Participants is limited to Participants who have not
terminated employment.



Short Form. Standardized Adoption Agreement. Hardship Distributions are not permitted.



Hardship distributions are subject to the spousal consent requirements contained in Code sections
401(a)(11) and 417 unless the Plan meets the exception of Subsection 2.5.7(k). The Plan
Administrator shall determine whether a Participant has an immediate and heavy financial need. A
distribution shall be deemed to be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need if the
distribution is due to:





	(a)	 	Deductible medical expenses described in Code section 213(d) incurred or necessary for
medical care of the Participant, his spouse or dependents;
	 
	(b)	 	Purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;
	 
	(c)	 	Cost of tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve (12) months of
post-secondary education for the Participant, his spouse, children or dependents; or
	 
	(d)	 	The need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or
foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal residence.
	 
	(e)	 	Payments for funeral or burial expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, child
or dependent. (For Plan Years beginning after 2005.)
	 
	(f)	 	Expenses to repair damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for a
casualty loss deduction under Code section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss
exceeds 10 percent of adjusted gross income). (For Plan Years beginning after 2005.)




 









 










A distribution shall be considered as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of
the Participant only if:





	(g)	 	The Participant has obtained all distributions, other than Hardship distributions, and all
nontaxable loans under all plans maintained by the Employer;
	 
	(h)	 	All plans maintained by the Employer provide that the Participant’s Elective Deferrals and
Employee contributions shall be suspended for six (6) months after the receipt of the Hardship
distribution; and
	 
	(i)	 	The distribution is not in excess of the amount of an immediate and heavy financial need
(including amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties
reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).




2.5.11 Distributions in the Event of Incapacity In the sole judgment of the Plan
Administrator, if any Beneficiary entitled to benefits under the Plan is not capable of managing
the benefit about to be distributed, such distribution may be made to legal representative of that
Beneficiary, or in the case of a minor Beneficiary, the guardian or person in loco parentis to the
minor Beneficiary recognized under state law. The Plan Administrator may require an order of a
court of competent jurisdiction before making such distribution.



If any person entitled to benefits is declared legally incapacitated by a court of proper
jurisdiction, then the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to make payments to the legal
guardian or legal representative of the person or his estate.



2.5.12 In Service Distributions.





	(a)	 	Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plans. If the Plan is designated in the Adoption
Agreement as a Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan, the Employer may elect to permit
distributions of Elective Deferrals, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions, Qualified Matching
Contributions, and ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions to a Participant after attaining age
fifty-nine and one-half (591/2) but prior to his termination of employment. A Participant shall
be entitled to receive a distribution of all or a part of these Accounts upon filing a written
request with the Plan Administrator; provided, that no distribution shall be made unless the
balance in the Account to be distributed has accumulated for at least two (2) years or the
individual has been a Participant for five (5) or more Plan Years or on account of Hardship
unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement; and, the distribution of Elective
Deferrals, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions, Matching Contributions (to the extent used in
the ADP Test), Qualified Matching Contributions and ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions must
satisfy the limitations imposed by Section 2.7.8. In Service distributions due to Hardship
must meet the Hardship requirements of Section 2.5.10.




The Adoption Agreement may provide that In Service distributions are available before age
fifty-nine and one-half (591/2) for Accounts other than Elective Deferrals, Qualified Non-Elective
Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, Matching Contributions that are used to pass the
ADP test, and ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions. In Service distributions from the Profit Sharing
portion of a Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan shall be governed by Subsection (b) below.



Short Form. In Service distributions are always available to Participants that are fully vested
provided the balance in the Account to be distributed has accumulated for at least two (2) years or
the individual has been a Participant for five (5) or more Plan Years or on account of Hardship.
Elective Deferrals, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions,
Matching Contributions that are used to pass the ADP test, and ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions
may not be a part of any In Service distribution prior to a Participant attaining age 591/2.





	(b)	 	Profit Sharing Plans. If the Plan is designated in the Adoption Agreement as a Profit
Sharing Plan, (including the Profit Sharing portion of a Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing
Plan), the Employer may elect in




 









 






	 	 	the Adoption Agreement to permit distributions to a Participant prior to his termination of
employment. A Participant shall be entitled to receive a distribution of all or part of his
interest in the Plan upon filing a written request with the Plan Administrator; provided, that
no distribution shall be made unless the amount to be distributed to the Participant is fully
vested and nonforfeitable (unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement) and has
accumulated for at least two (2) years or the individual has been a Participant for five (5) or
more Plan Years, or on account of Hardship; provided, further that In Service distributions on
account of Hardship shall be subject to the restrictions of Section 2.5.10. In Service
distributions are subject to the spousal consent requirements contained in Code sections
401(a)(11) and 417 unless the Plan meets the exception of Section 2.5.7(k).




Short Form. In Service distributions are always available to Participants that are fully vested
provided the balance in the Account to be distributed has accumulated for at least two (2) years or
the individual has been a Participant for five (5) or more Plan Years or on account of Hardship.





	(c)	 	Money Purchase and Target Benefit Plans. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to
permit In Service distributions upon a Participant reaching his Normal Retirement Date.




Short Form. In Service distributions are always permitted upon a Participant reaching his Normal
Retirement Date.





	(d)	 	All Plans. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to permit In Service
distributions at the election of the Participant for amounts held in a Rollover Account, in a
Deductible Voluntary Account, or in a Voluntary Account regardless of age or periods of
participation.




Short Form. In Service distributions are always permitted at the election of the Participant for
amounts held in a Rollover Account, in a Deductible Voluntary Account, or in a Voluntary Account
regardless of age or periods of participation.





	(e)	 	Spousal Consent. In Service distributions are subject to the spousal consent requirements
contained in Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417 unless the Plan meets the exception of
Subsection 2.5.7(k).




2.5.13 Right to Direct on Behalf of a Participant or Beneficiary. In the sole judgment
of the Plan Administrator, if any Participant or Beneficiary entitled to benefits is not capable of
managing his benefits under the Plan, any election that may be made by a Participant or Beneficiary
may be made by the legal representative of such individual, or in the case of a minor Beneficiary,
the guardian or person in loco parentis to the minor Beneficiary recognized under state law.



If the Plan Administrator, in his sole discretion is not satisfied with the power of a legal
representative to act on behalf of a Participant or Beneficiary the Plan Administrator may require
an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.





 









 








ARTICLE VI




CONTINGENT TOP HEAVY PROVISIONS


2.6.1 Top-Heavy Requirements. If the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan during any Plan Year,
the following provisions shall supersede any conflicting provisions in the Plan or Adoption
Agreement and apply for such Plan Year:





	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided below, the Employer contributions and Forfeitures allocated on
behalf of any Participant who is not a Key Employee shall not be less than the lesser of three
percent of such Participant’s Compensation as defined in Section 2.6.2(b), or in the case
where the Employer has no defined benefit plan that designates this Plan to satisfy Code
section 401, the largest percentage of Employer Contributions and Forfeitures (not including
Catch-up Contributions), as a percentage of the Key Employee’s Compensation as defined in
Section 2.6.2(b), and limited by Code section 401(a)(17), allocated on behalf of any Key
Employee for that year. The Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation is determined without regard to any
Social Security contribution. This Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation shall be made even though,
under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an
allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation for the year because of (i) the
Participant’s failure to complete one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service (or any equivalent
provided in the Plan), or (ii) the Participant’s failure to make mandatory Employee
contributions to the Plan, or (iii) compensation less than a stated amount. The Employer may
elect in the Adoption Agreement to have this provision provide Key Employees with the
Top-Heavy minimum benefit.




Elective Deferrals (and, for Plan Years beginning before 2002, Matching Contributions) may not be
used to satisfy the Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation.



For purposes of computing the Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation, Compensation shall mean a Participant’s
Compensation as defined in the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement. A Participant’s Compensation shall be equal to total
compensation that is actually paid to the Participant by the Employer during the Plan Year and
includes all information required to be reported under Code sections 6041, 6051, and 6052 (wages,
tips, and other compensation as reported on Form W-2). Compensation includes wages, (within the
meaning of Code section 3401(a)) and all other payments of compensation to an Employee by the
Employer (in the course of the Employer’s trade or business) for which the Employer is required to
furnish the Employee a written statement under Code sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and 6052. Such
compensation must be determined without regard to any rules under Code section 3401(a) that limit
the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the
services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code section 3401(a)(2)). In
the case of a Self-Employed Individual, Compensation means Earned Income during such period.
Compensation for a Participant’s initial year of participation shall be Compensation from the
Participant’s Entry Date.



The Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation provided above shall not apply to any Participant who was not
employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.



If so elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation provided above shall not
apply to any Participant who is in a unit of Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement
between the Employer and Employee representatives, provided benefits were the subject of good faith
bargaining and two percent or less of the Employees of the Employer who are covered pursuant to
that agreement are professionals as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.410(b)-9(g).



Short Form. Employees described in the preceding paragraph shall not receive a Minimum Top-Heavy
Allocation under the provisions of this Plan.






 









 







The Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation provided above shall not apply to any Participant to the extent
the Participant is covered under any other plan or plans of the Employer and the Employer has
provided in the Adoption Agreement that the Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation or benefit requirement
applicable to Top-Heavy plans will be met in the other plan or plans.



Short Form. Any Top-Heavy Minimum Allocation required under the provisions of this Plan shall be
made to this Plan.





	(b)	 	The vested and nonforfeitable interest of each Participant shall be equal to the percentage
determined under the vesting schedule specified in the Adoption Agreement if the Plan becomes
a Top-Heavy Plan, or if no vesting schedule is specified, the percentage determined under the
following schedule:





	 	 	 	 	 
	Years of Vesting	 	 	 
	Service	 	Percentage	 
	Less than 2
	 	 	0	%
	2
	 	 	20	%
	3
	 	 	40	%
	4
	 	 	60	%
	5
	 	 	80	%
	6
	 	or more 100%





The Top-Heavy minimum vesting schedule applies to all benefits within the meaning of Code section
411(a)(7), except those attributable to Employee Contributions, including benefits accrued before
the effective date of Code section 416 and benefits accrued before the Plan becomes Top-Heavy.



No decrease in a Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage may occur in the event the Plan’s status
as Top-Heavy changes for any Plan Year. Any Minimum Top-Heavy Allocation required (to the extent
required to be nonforfeitable under Code section 416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code sections
411(a)(3)(B) or (D).



2.6.2 Top-Heavy Definitions. The following terms, as used in this Plan, shall have the
following meaning:





	(a)	 	“Aggregation Group”: Each qualified retirement plan of the Employer in which a Key Employee
is a participant and each other qualified retirement plan of the Employer that enables any
plan in which a Key Employee is a participant to meet the requirements of Code sections
401(a)(4) or 410.
	 
	(b)	 	“Annual Compensation”: One of the following three definitions of Compensation as defined
elected in the Adoption Agreement:






	 	(i)	 	Information required to be reported under sections 6041, 6051, and 6052 of the Code
(wages, tips and other compensation as reported on Form W-2). Compensation is defined as
wages within the meaning of section 3401(a) of the Code and all other payments of
compensation to an employee by the employer (in the course of the employer’s trade or
business) for which the employer is required to furnish the employee a written statement
under sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and 6052. Compensation must be determined without
regard to any rules under section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages
based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the
exception for agricultural labor in section 3401(a)(2)).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Section 3401(a) wages. Compensation is defined as wages within the meaning of section
3401(a) of the Code for the purposes of income tax withholding at the source but
determined without regard to any rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based
on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the
exception for agricultural labor in section




 









 






	 	 	 	3401(a)(2)).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	415 safe-harbor compensation. Compensation is defined as wages, salaries, and fees
for professional services and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an
amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of
employment with the Employer maintaining the Plan to the extent that the amounts are
includable in gross income (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen,
compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on
insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits, and reimbursements or other expense
allowances under a nonaccountable plan (as described in Treasury Regulation 1.62-2(c)),
and excluding the following:






	 	(1)	 	Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation which are not
includible in the Employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which contributed,
or Employer contributions under a simplified employee pension plan, or any
distributions from a plan of deferred compensation;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, or when
restricted stock (or property) held by the employee either becomes freely
transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock
acquired under a qualified stock option; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	other amounts which received special tax benefits, or contributions made by
the employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) towards the purchase
of an annuity contract described in § 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (whether or
not the contributions are actually excludable from the gross income of the employee).




For any Self-Employed Individual, Compensation will mean earned income.



For purposes of applying the limitations of this Article, Compensation paid or made available
during such limitation year shall include any Elective Deferral (as defined in Section 402(g)(3) of
the Code), and any amount which is contributed or deferred by the Employer at the election of the
Employee and which is not includible in the gross income of the Employee by reason of sections 125,
132(f)(4) or 457 of the Code.



If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, amounts under section 125 of the Code include
any amounts not available to a Participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the
Participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage (deemed section 125
Compensation). An amount will be treated as an amount under section 125 only if the Employer does
not request or collect information regarding the Participant’s other health coverage as part of the
enrollment process for the health plan.





	(c)	 	“Top-Heavy Plan”: For any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1983, the Plan is Top-Heavy
if any of the following conditions exists:






	 	(i)	 	If the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and the Plan is not
part of any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group of plans.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of plans but not part of a
Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the group of plans exceeds sixty
percent (60%).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If the Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group and part of a Permissive
Aggregation Group of plans and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group
exceeds sixty percent (60%).






	(d)	 	“Top-Heavy Ratio”:




 









 












	 	(i)	 	If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any
simplified Employee pension plan) and the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit
plan that during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had
accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan alone or for the Required or
Permissive Aggregation Group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
sum of the Account balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s)
(including any part of any Account balance distributed in the 1-year period ending on the
Determination Date(s)) (5-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a
distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or
Disability)), and the denominator of which is the sum of all Account balances (including
any part of any Account balance distributed in the 1-year period ending on the
Determination Date(s) (5-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a
distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or
Disability)), both computed in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations
thereunder.






	 	 	Both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are increased to reflect any
contribution not actually made as of the Determination Date, but that is required to be taken
into account on that date under Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder.






	 	(ii)	 	If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any
simplified Employee pension plan) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more
defined benefit plans that during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date(s)
has or has had any accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for any Required or Permissive
Aggregation Group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of
Account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key
Employees, determined in accordance with (i) above, and the present value of accrued
benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of
the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of the Account balances
under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Participants, determined
in accordance with (i) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined
benefit plan or plans for all Participants as of the Determination Date(s), all determined
in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits
under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio
are increased for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the 1-year period ending
on the Determination Date (five-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case
of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or
Disability.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of Account balances and the present
value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent valuation date that
falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as
provided in Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder for the first and second Plan
Years of a defined benefit plan. The Account balances and accrued benefits of a
Participant: (1) who is not a Key Employee but was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (2)
who has not been credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service with any Employer
maintaining the Plan at any time during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date
will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which
distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance
with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. Deductible Employee contributions
will not be taken into account for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio, however
Catch-up Contributions will be taken into account. When aggregating plans, the value of
Account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the
Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.






	 	 	The accrued benefit of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under: (a)
the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans
maintained by the Employer, or (b) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not
more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code section
411(b)(1)(C).




 









 












	(e)	 	“Permissive Aggregation Group”: The Required Aggregation Group of plans plus any other plan
or plans of the Employer that, when considered as a group with the Required Aggregation Group,
would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410.
	 
	(f)	 	“Required Aggregation Group”:






	 	(i)	 	Each qualified plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates
or participated at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date
(regardless of whether the plan has terminated).
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Any other qualified plan of the Employer that enables a plan described in (i) to meet
the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) or 410.






	(g)	 	“Determination Date”: For any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan Year, the last day of
the preceding Plan Year. For the first Plan Year of the Plan, the last day of that year.
	 
	(h)	 	“Valuation Date”: The date elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement as of which
account balances or accrued benefits are valued for purposes of calculating the Top-Heavy
Ratio.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. The Valuation Date shall be the last day of the prior Plan Year.
	 
	(i)	 	“Present Value”: Present value shall be based only on the interest and mortality rates
specified in the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. Top-Heavy Assumptions. (This provision shall apply if the Employer also has a
Defined Benefit Plan.) The interest rate used to establish the present value of accrued
benefits in order to calculate the Top-Heavy Ratio under Code section 416 shall be the
Applicable Interest Rate defined in section 417(e) of the Code and the mortality table used
shall be the Applicable Mortality Table defined in section 417(e) of the Code.




 









 











ARTICLE VII




SPECIAL CODA LIMITATIONS


2.7.1 Limitation on Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees.





	(a)	 	Prior Year Testing. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to use the current
year ADP for all eligible Highly Compensated Employees must not exceed the greater of the
prior year’s ADP for all Participants who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees in such year
multiplied by:






	 	(1)	 	One and twenty-five one-hundredths (1.25); or
	 
	 	(2)	 	Two (2.0), but in no event more than two (2) percentage points greater than the prior
Plan Year ADP of such Non-Highly Compensated Employees.




The Employer may switch from Prior Year Testing to Current Year testing for any Plan Year.



For the first Plan Year that the Plan permits any Participant to make Elective Deferrals and this
is not a successor plan, the ADP of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year shall
be deemed to be three percent (3%) or, at the Employer’s election, the test shall use actual data
for the first Plan Year to determine the ADP of eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees.





	(b)	 	Current Year Testing. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to use the current
Plan Year ADP for all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees rather than the ADP for the
prior Plan Year. Once the Employer has made this election, it may change to Prior Year Testing
only if the Plan meets the requirements of Treasury Regulations section 1.401(k)-2(c)(1)(ii),
including that:






	 	(1)	 	The Plan has used Current Year Testing for each of the preceding five (5) Plan Years
or, if lesser, the number of Plan Years that the Plan has been in existence; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	As a result of a merger or acquisition described in Code section 410(b)(6)(C)(i), the
Employer maintains both a plan using Prior Year Testing and a plan using Current Year
Testing, and the change is made within the transition period described in Code section
410(b)(6)(C)(ii).
	 
	 	 	 	Short Form. The testing method selected must be used for both the Actual Deferral
Percentage Test and the Actual Contribution Percentage Test;






	(c)	 	Other Rules. For purposes hereof, the ADP for a Plan Year for all Highly Compensated
Employees and the ADP for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees are the averages of the ratios,
calculated separately for each Participant in the respective group, of the amount of Elective
Deferrals (other than Catch-up Contributions), Qualified Non-Elective Contributions, and those
applicable Qualified Matching Contributions paid under the Plan on behalf of each such
Participant for such Plan Year (including Excess Elective Deferrals of Highly Compensated
Employees), to the Participant’s compensation for such Plan Year, but excluding Elective
Deferrals that are taken into account in the Actual Contribution Percentage test (provided the
ADP test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of those Elective Deferrals). An ADP
shall be rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point. An Employee who would be a
Participant but for the failure to have Elective Deferrals made on his behalf shall be treated
as a Participant on whose behalf no Elective Deferrals are made. For purposes of the ADP test
compensation




 









 






	 	 	may be compensation for the entire Plan Year whether or not the Participant was a Participant
for the entire Plan Year or compensation from a Participant’s Plan Entry Date determined each
year by the Plan Administrator and applied to all eligible Participants in a uniform and
non-discriminatory manner.




Short Form. The Employer may make Qualified Non-Elective Contributions at its discretion on behalf
of Participants that are not Highly Compensated Employees that are eligible to make Elective
Deferrals to the extent necessary to satisfy the ADP or ACP test beginning with the lowest paid
Non-Highly Compensated Employees. Use of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions in the ADP or ACP
test requires that you comply with Reg. 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv) or Reg. 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v),
respectively, that require the Qualified Non-Elective Contribution be no greater than of 5% of a
Participant’s compensation or no more than twice a “representative contribution rate” determined by
analyzing the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions provided to all Non-Highly Compensated
Employees.



Short Form. For purposes of the ADP test, the amount of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and
Qualified Matching Contributions taken into account shall be only those contributions that are
needed to pass the ADP test.



For purposes of determining the ADP test, Elective Deferrals (other than Catch-up Contributions),
Qualified Non-Elective Contributions, and Qualified Matching Contributions must be made before the
last day of the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Plan Year to which the
contributions relate.



Pursuant to Code section 410(b)(4)(B), the Employer may elect to treat that portion of the Plan
that benefits only Participants who satisfy age and service conditions under the Plan that are
lower than the greatest minimum age and service conditions permitted under Code section 410(a)
(“Otherwise Excludable Employees”) and that portion of the Plan that benefits Participants that
meet the greatest minimum age and service conditions permitted under Code section 410(a) (“Not
Otherwise Excludable Employees”) as two (2) separate plans for purposes of Code section 401(k), and
the ADP test need not be satisfied with respect to both plans in order for one of the plans to pass
the ADP test. An Employee’s membership in the class of Otherwise Excludible Employees shall be
determined using either the Plan’s Entry Date provision or the earlier of the first day of the next
Plan Year of 6 months after completing the greatest minimum age and service conditions of Code
section 410(a) as determined each year by the Plan Administrator.”



The determination and treatment of the ADP amounts of any Participant shall satisfy such other
requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.



2.7.2 Limitation on Matching Contributions.





	(a)	 	Prior Year Testing. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to use the current
year ACP for eligible Highly Compensated Employees must not exceed the greater of the prior
year’s ACP for all Participants who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees in such year
multiplied by:






	 	(1)	 	One and twenty-five one-hundredths (1.25); or
	 
	 	(2)	 	Two (2.0), but in no event more than two (2) percentage points greater than the prior
Plan Year ACP of such Non-Highly Compensated Employees.




The Employer may switch from Prior Year Testing to Current Year Testing for any Plan Year.



For the first Plan Year that the Plan permits any Participant to make Elective Deferrals and this
is not a successor plan, the ACP of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year shall
be deemed to be three percent (3%) or, at the Employer’s election, the test shall use actual data
of the first Plan Year to determine the ACP for eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees.







 









 









	(b)	 	Current Year Testing. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to use the
current Plan Year ACP for all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees rather than
the ADP of the prior Plan Year. Once the Employer has made this election, it may change to
Prior Year Testing only if the Plan meets the requirements of Treasury Regulations sections
1.401(m)-2(c)(1) and 1.401(k)-2(c)(1)(ii), including that:






	 	(1)	 	The Plan has used Current Year Testing for each of the preceding five (5) Plan Years
or, if lesser, the number of Plan Years that the Plan has been in existence; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	As a result of a merger or acquisition described in Code section 410(b)(6)(C)(i), the
Employer maintains both a plan using Prior Year Testing and a plan using Current Year
Testing, and the change is made within the transition period described in Code section
410(b)(6)(C)(ii).




Short Form. The testing method selected must be used for both the Actual Deferral Percentage Test
and the Actual Contribution Percentage Test;





	(c)	 	Other Rules. For purposes hereof, the ACP for a Plan Year for all Highly Compensated
Employees and the ACP for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees are the averages of the ratios,
calculated separately for each Participant in the respective group, of the amount of Matching
Contributions and any Voluntary Employee Contributions paid under the Plan on behalf of each
such Participant for such Plan Year, to the Participant’s compensation for such Plan Year. In
the case of Highly Compensated Employees, such contribution percentage amounts shall include
Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions or Matching Contributions allocated to the
Participant’s Accounts that are taken into account in the Plan Year in which such Forfeiture
is allocated. Forfeitures of Matching Contributions shall be included as contribution
percentage amounts only to the extent such Forfeitures are used to reduce or supplement the
Matching Contributions, as specified in the Adoption Agreement. If so elected in the Adoption
Agreement, the Employer may include Qualified Non-Elective Contributions in the contribution
percentage amounts. In order to be taken into account in the calculation of the ACP for a year
under Current Year Testing, a Qualified Non-Elective Contribution or Qualified Matching
Contribution must be allocated as of a date within the year using current data and must
actually be paid to the Trust no later than the end of the 12-month period following the end
of the Plan Year to which the contribution relates. The Employer may also elect to use
Elective Deferrals in the contribution percentage amounts so long as the ADP test is met
before the Elective Deferrals are used in the ACP test and continues to be met following the
exclusion of those Elective Deferrals that are used to meet the ACP test. An ACP shall be
rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point. If an Elective Deferral or other
contribution by an Employee is required as a condition of participation in the Plan, any
Employee who would be a Participant if such Employee made such a contribution shall be treated
as an eligible Participant on behalf of whom no such contributions are made. For purposes of
the ACP test compensation may be compensation for the entire Plan Year whether or not the
Participant was a Participant for the entire Plan Year or compensation from a Participant’s
Plan Entry Date determined each year by the Plan Administrator and applied to all eligible
Participants in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner.
	 
	 	 	The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year shall be determined only after
first determining the Excess Contributions that are treated as Employee Contributions due to
recharacterization.




Short Form. The Employer may make Qualified Matching Contributions at its discretion on behalf of
Participants that are not Highly Compensated Employees that receive Matching Contributions to the
extent necessary to satisfy the ADP or ACP test beginning with the lowest paid Non-Highly
Compensated Employees. Qualified Matching Contributions may be used with Current Year testing
method only if the contribution is made within the 12-month period following the last day of the
Prior Year. Use of Qualified Matching Contributions in the ADP or ACP test requires that you comply
with Reg. 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv) or Reg. 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v), respectively, that require the
Qualified Matching Contribution be no greater than of 5% of a Participant’s compensation or no more
than twice a “representative contribution rate” determined by analyzing the Qualified Matching
Contributions provided to all Non-Highly Compensated Employees.





 









 







Short Form. For purposes of the ADP test, the amount of Qualified Matching Contributions and
Qualified Non-Elective Contributions taken into account shall be only those contributions that are
needed to pass the ACP test.



Pursuant to Code section 410(b)(4)(B), the Employer may elect to treat that portion of the Plan
that benefits only Participants who satisfy age and service conditions under the Plan that are
lower than the greatest minimum age and service conditions permitted under Code section 410(a)
(“Otherwise Excludable Employees”) and that portion of the Plan that benefits Participants that
meet the greatest minimum age and service conditions permitted under Code section 410(a) (“Not
Otherwise Excludable Employees”) as two (2) separate plans for purposes of Code section 401(m), and
the ACP test need not be satisfied with respect to both plans in order for one of the plans to pass
the ACP test. An Employee’s membership in the class of Otherwise Excludible Employees shall be
determined using either the Plan’s Entry Date provision or the earlier of the first day of the next
Plan Year of 6 months after completing the greatest minimum age and service conditions of Code
section 410(a) as determined each year by the Plan Administrator.”



Employee contributions are considered to have been made in the Plan Year in which contributed to
the Trust. Matching Contributions, Voluntary Employee Contributions, Qualified Non-Elective
Contributions, and Qualified Matching Contributions shall be considered made for a Plan Year if
made no later than the end of the twelve-month period beginning on the day after the close of the
Plan Year.



The Employer shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the ACP test and the
amount of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions used in such
test.



The determination and treatment of the contribution percentage of any Participant shall satisfy
such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.



2.7.3 Multiple Plan Limitations For ADP and ACP Testing.





	(a)	 	No Participant shall be permitted to have Elective Deferrals made under this Plan, or any
other qualified plan maintained by the Employer, during any taxable year, in excess of the
dollar limitation contained in Code section 402(g)(1) in effect at the beginning of such
taxable year.
	 
	(b)	 	The ADP for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who is
eligible to have Elective Deferrals (and Qualified Matching Contributions, and Qualified
Non-Elective Contributions if treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the ADP test)
allocated to his Accounts under two or more arrangements described in Code section 401(k) that
are maintained by the Employer, shall be determined as if such Elective Deferrals and, if
applicable, such Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions)
were made under a single arrangement. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or
more cash or deferred arrangements of the Employer that have different plan years, all
Elective Deferrals made during the Plan Year under all such arrangements shall be aggregated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily
disaggregated under regulations under Code section 401(k).
	 
	(c)	 	In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code sections 401(k), 401(a)(4), or
410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy
the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this
Section shall be applied by determining the ADP of Employees as if all such plans were a
single plan. If more than ten percent (10%) of the Employer’s Non-Highly Compensated Employees
are involved in a plan coverage change as defined in Treasury Regulations section
1.401(k)-2(c)(4), then any adjustments to the Non-Highly Compensated Employee ADP for the
prior year will be made in accordance with such Regulations, unless the Employer has elected
in the Adoption Agreement to use the Current Year Testing method. Plans may be aggregated in
order to satisfy Code section 401(k) only if they have the same Plan Year and use the same ADP
testing method.
	 
	(d)	 	The ACP for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee and who is eligible to have
contribution percentage amounts allocated to his or her Accounts under two or more plans
described in




 









 






	 	 	Code section 401(a), or arrangements described in Code section 401(k), that are maintained by
the Employer, shall be determined as if the total of such contribution percentage amounts was
made under each plan. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more cash or
deferred arrangements that have different plan years, all types of contributions includible in
the ACP test from all such arrangements that were made during the Plan Year shall be
aggregated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if
mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Code section 401(m).
	 
	(e)	 	In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code sections 401(m), 401(a)(4), or
410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy
the requirements of such Code sections only if aggregated with this Plan, then Section 2.7.2
shall be applied by determining the ACP of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan.
If more than ten percent (10%) of the Employer’s Non-Highly Compensated Employees are involved
in a plan coverage change as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.401(m)-2(c)(4), then
any adjustments to the Non-Highly Compensated Employee ACP for the prior year will be made in
accordance with such regulations, unless the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to
use the Current Year Testing method. Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code section
401(m) only if they have the same Plan Year and use the same ACP testing method.





2.7.4 Different Testing Methods for Elective Deferrals and Matching Contributions



The Plan must use the same testing method for the ADP test under Section 2.7.1 and the ACP
test under Section 2.7.2 unless the Employer prohibits the use of Elective Deferrals in the ACP
test and Recharacterization of Excess Contributions and the use of Qualified Matching Contributions
in the ADP test.



Short Form. The testing method selected must be used for both the Actual Deferral Percentage Test
and the Actual Contribution Percentage Test;



2.7.5 Distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals. A Participant may assign to the Plan
any Excess Elective Deferrals made during a taxable year of the Participant by notifying the Plan
Administrator on or before March 15th of each calendar year of the amount of the Excess Elective
Deferrals to be assigned to the Plan. A Participant is deemed to notify the Plan Administrator of
any Excess Elective Deferrals that arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made
to this Plan and any other plans of the Employer.



Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Excess Elective Deferrals, plus any income and
minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than April 15th to any Participant
to whose Account Excess Elective Deferrals were assigned for the preceding year and who claims
Excess Elective Deferrals for such taxable year. For years beginning after 2005, distribution of
Excess Elective Deferrals for a year shall be made first from the Participant’s Pre-tax Elective
Account to the extent Pre-tax Elective Deferrals were made for the year, unless the Participant
specifies otherwise.



Excess Elective Deferrals distributed under this Section shall be adjusted for any income or loss
based on a reasonable method of computing the allocable income or loss. The method selected must be
applied consistently to all Participants and used for all corrective distributions under the Plan
for the Plan Year, and must be the same method that is used by the Plan for allocating income or
loss to Participants’ Accounts. Income or loss allocable to the period between the end of the
taxable year and the date of distribution may be disregarded in determining income or loss.



One reasonable method treats the income and loss allocable to Excess Elective Deferrals as the sum
of:





	(a)	 	Income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Elective Account for the taxable year,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant’s Excess Elective
Deferrals for the year and the denominator is the Participant’s Account balance attributable
to Elective Deferrals without regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable year;
and
	 
	(b)	 	Ten percent (10%) of the amount determined under (a) multiplied by the number of whole
calendar




 









 






	 	 	months between the end of the Participant’s taxable year and the date of the distribution,
counting the month of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.




2.7.6 Distribution of Excess Contributions. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement, if the Plan permits all Participants to make Voluntary Employee Contributions, Elective
Deferrals allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee as Excess Contributions will be
recharacterized as Voluntary Employee Contributions (after-tax). A Participant must or may, as
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, treat Excess Contributions allocated to him or
her as an amount distributed to the Participant and then contributed by the Participant to the
Plan. Recharacterized amounts will remain nonforfeitable. A Highly Compensated Employee may not
recharacterize an amount to the extent that such amount in combination with other Voluntary
Employee Contributions made by that Employee would exceed any stated limit under the Plan on
Voluntary Employee Contributions.



Recharacterization must occur no later than two and one-half (21/2) months after the last day of the
Plan Year in which such Excess Contributions arose and is deemed to occur no earlier than the date
the last Highly Compensated Employee is informed in writing of the amount recharacterized and the
consequences thereof.



Short Form. Excess Contributions shall be distributed. No recharacterization permitted.



If elected in the Adoption Agreement, Excess Contributions that are not recharacterized, plus any
income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than twelve (12) months
after the last day of each Plan Year to Highly Compensated Employees to whose Accounts such Excess
Contributions were allocated for such Plan Year, except to the extent such Excess Contributions are
classified as Catch-up Contributions. For years beginning after 2005, distribution of Excess
Contributions for a year shall be made first from the Participant’s Pre-tax Elective Account to the
extent Pre-tax Elective Deferrals were made for the year, unless the Participant specifies
otherwise.



Excess Contributions are applied to Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amounts of
Elective Deferrals taken into account when calculating the ADP test for the Plan Year in which the
excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest contribution and
continuing in descending order until all the Excess Contributions have been allocated. To the
extent that a Highly Compensated Employee has not reached his Catch-up Contribution limit under the
Plan, Excess Contributions allocated to such Highly Compensated Employee are Catch-up Contributions
and will not be treated as Excess Contributions. If such excess amounts (other than Catch-up
Contributions) are distributed more than two and one-half (21/2) months after the last day of the
Plan Year in which such excess amounts arose, a ten percent (10%) excise tax will be imposed on the
Employer maintaining the Plan with respect to such amounts.



Excess Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions under Part III, Article II even if
distributed to the Participant.



Excess Contributions distributed under this Section shall be adjusted for any income or loss based
on a reasonable method of computing the allocable income or loss. The method selected must be
applied consistently to all Participants and used for all corrective distributions under the Plan
for the Plan Year, and must be the same method that is used by the Plan for allocating income or
loss to Participants’ Accounts. For Plan Years beginning after 2005, income or loss allocable to
the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution may not be disregarded in
determining income or loss.



One reasonable method treats the income and loss allocable to Excess Contributions as the sum of:





	(a)	 	Income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Elective Account (and, if applicable, the
Qualified Non-Elective Account or the Qualified Matching Account, or both) for the Plan Year,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant’s Excess Contributions
for the year and the denominator is the Participant’s Account balance attributable to Elective
Deferrals (and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions, or
both, if any such contributions are included in the ADP test) without regard to any income or
loss occurring during such Plan Year; and
	 
	(b)	 	Ten percent (10%) of the amount determined under (a) multiplied by the number of whole
calendar




 









 






	 	 	months between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution, counting the month of
distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.




Matching Contributions attributable to Excess Contributions that have been returned shall be
forfeited according to the requirements of Section 2.7.9.



Excess Contributions applied to a Participant shall be distributed from the Participant’s Elective
Account and Qualified Matching Account (if applicable) in proportion to the Participant’s Elective
Deferrals and Qualified Matching Contributions (to the extent used in the ADP test) for the Plan
Year. Excess Contributions shall be distributed from the Participant’s Qualified Non-Elective
Account only to the extent that such Excess Contributions exceed the amount of Excess Contributions
in the Participant’s Elective Account and Qualified Matching Account.



2.7.7 Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss
allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or if not forfeitable, distributed no later
than twelve (12) months after a Plan Year to Participants to whose accounts such Excess Aggregate
Contributions were allocated for such Plan Year.



Excess Aggregate Contributions are applied to Highly Compensated Employees with the largest
contribution percentage amounts taken into account in calculating the ACP test for the year in
which the excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest
contribution percentage amount and continuing in descending order until all the Excess Aggregate
Contributions have been allocated. If such Excess Aggregate Contributions are distributed more than
two and one-half (21/2) months after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess amounts
arose, a ten percent (10%) excise tax will be imposed on the Employer maintaining the Plan with
respect to those amounts.



Excess Aggregate Contributions distributed under this Section shall be adjusted for any income or
loss based on a reasonable method of computing the allocable income or loss. The method selected
must be applied consistently to all Participants and used for all corrective distributions under
the Plan for the Plan Year, and must be the same method that is used by the Plan for allocating
income or loss to Participants’ Accounts. For Plan Years beginning after 2005, income or loss
allocable to the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution may not be
disregarded in determining income or loss.



One reasonable method treats the income and loss allocable to the Participant’s Excess Aggregate
Contributions as the sum of:





	(a)	 	Income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Voluntary Account, Matching Account, Qualified
Matching Account, (if any, and if all amounts therein are not used in the ADP test) and, if
applicable, Qualified Non-Elective Contribution and Elective Deferral Accounts for the Plan
Year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant’s Excess Aggregate
Contributions for the year and the denominator is the balance(s) of the Participant’s Account
previously described, if any such contributions are included in the ACP test without regard to
any income or loss occurring during such Plan Year; and
	 
	(b)	 	Ten percent (10%) of the amount determined under (a) multiplied by the number of whole
calendar months between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution, counting
the month of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.




Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions may either be reallocated to the accounts of
Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees or applied to reduce Employer contributions,
as elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form. Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be applied to reduce Employer
contributions.



Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to a Participant shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or
distributed on a pro-rata basis from the Participant’s Voluntary, Matching, and Qualified Matching
Accounts (and, if applicable, the Participant’s Qualified Non-Elective Account or Elective Account,
or both).





 









 







2.7.8 Limitation on Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article,
Elective Deferrals, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, and
income allocable thereto are not distributable to a Participant or his Beneficiary in accordance
with such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s election prior to severance from employment, death, or
Disability. Such amounts may, however, be distributed upon:





	(a)	 	Termination of the Plan without the establishment of another defined contribution plan, other
than an employee stock ownership plan (as defined in Code sections 4975(e)(7) or 409(a)) or a
simplified employee pension plan as defined in Code section 408(k), a SIMPLE IRA plan as
defined in Code section 408(p), a plan or contract described in Code section 403(b) or a plan
described in Code section 457(b) or (f)) at any time during the period beginning on the date
of plan termination and ending twelve (12) months after all assets have been distributed from
the Plan. Such a distribution must be made in a lump sum.
	 
	(b)	 	The attainment of age fifty-nine and one-half (591/2).
	 
	(c)	 	The Hardship of a Participant in accordance with Section 2.5.10.




All such distributions are subject to the spousal and Participant consent requirements, if
applicable, contained in Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417 unless the Plan meets the exception of
Subsection 2.5.7(k). In addition, distributions after March 31, 1988, that are triggered by any of
the first three events enumerated above must be made in a lump sum.



2.7.9 Forfeiture of Matching Contributions. Matching Contributions shall be forfeited
when:





	(a)	 	The Elective Deferral to which the Matching Contribution or Qualified Matching Contribution
relates is returned because it was determined to be Excess Deferrals (unless the Excess
Deferrals are for Non-Highly Compensated Employees), Excess Contributions, or Excess Annual
Additions; or
	 
	(b)	 	The Employee contribution to which the Matching Contribution relates is returned because it
was determined to be either Excess Aggregate Contributions or Excess Annual Additions.




The requirements of this Section shall be met in whole or in part if the Matching Contribution in
question is returned to the Participant as an Excess Aggregate Contribution.



Following the forfeiture of Matching Contributions pursuant to this Section, the highest rate of
Matching Contribution allocated to any Highly Compensated Employee may not exceed the lowest rate
of Matching Contribution allocated to any Non-Highly Compensated Employee eligible to receive an
allocation of Matching Contributions under this Plan or under all plans in a mandatory or
permissive aggregation group. This provision shall not apply in the case of a Non-Highly
Compensated Employee whose allocation of Matching Contributions is limited by the application of
Code section 415. Allocation of Forfeitures under this Section shall be governed by elections
regarding the allocation of the forfeiture of Matching Contributions in the Adoption Agreement.



Short Form. The Plan Administrator shall allocate such Forfeiture in the same manner as a Matching
Contribution by the Employer for the year in which said Forfeiture occurred. For each Plan Year
that Forfeitures are allocated, the Plan Administrator shall designate the specific Employer
Contribution or Contributions that the Forfeitures reduce or supplement.





 









 








ARTICLE VIII




SIMPLE 401(k) LIMITATIONS


Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or Adoption Agreement to the contrary, during any
year for which the Employer has elected to treat this Plan as a SIMPLE 401(k) plan under Code
sections 401(k)(11) and 401(m)(10), this Article VIII and the attendant election of the Adoption
Agreement or any amendment thereof shall prevail.



2.8.1 Establishing a SIMPLE 401(k) Plan. If the Employer has elected in the Adoption
Agreement to have the 401(k) SIMPLE Provisions apply, then the provisions of this Article shall
apply for a Year only if (a) the Employer is an Eligible Employer and (b) no contributions are
made, or benefits accrued for services during the Year, on behalf of any Eligible Employee under
any other plan, contract, pension, or trust described in Code section 219(g)(5)(A) or (B)
maintained by the Employer. To the extent that any other provision of the Plan is inconsistent with
the provisions of this Article, the provisions of this Article govern.



2.8.2 Definitions.





	(a)	 	“Compensation” means, for purposes of Sections 2.8.2(b), 2.8.3, and 2.8.4 of this
Article, the sum of the wages, tips, and other compensation from the Employer subject to
federal income tax withholding (as described in Code section 6051(a)(3)) and the Employee’s
salary reduction contributions made under this or any other section 401(k) plan, and, if
applicable, Elective Deferrals under a section 408(p) SIMPLE IRA Plan, a SARSEP, or a section
403(b) annuity contract and compensation deferred under a section 457 plan, required to be
reported by the Employer on Form W-2 (as described in Code section 6051(a)(8)). For
Self-Employed Individuals, Compensation means net earnings from self-employment determined
under Code section 1402(a) prior to subtracting any contributions made under this Plan on
behalf of the individual. The provisions of the Plan implementing the limit on compensation
under Code section 401(a)(17) apply to the Compensation under Sections 2.8.3 and 2.8.4 of this
Article.
	 
	(b)	 	“Eligible Employer” means, with respect to any Year (as defined in Subsection 2.8.2(d)
below), an employer that had no more than one hundred (100) employees who received at least
five thousand dollars ($5,000) of Compensation from the Employer for the preceding Year. In
applying the preceding sentence, all employees of controlled groups of corporations under Code
section 414(b), all employees of trades or businesses (whether incorporated or not) under
common control under Code section 414(c), all employees of affiliated service groups under
Code section 414(m), and leased employees required to be treated as the Employer’s employees
under Code section 414(n), are taken into account.




An Eligible Employer that elects to have the 401(k) SIMPLE Provisions apply to the Plan and that
fails to be an Eligible Employer for any subsequent Year is treated as an Eligible Employer for the
two (2) Years following the last Year the Employer was an Eligible Employer. If the failure is due
to any acquisition, disposition, or similar transaction involving an Eligible Employer, the
preceding sentence applies only if the provisions of Code section 410(b)(6)(C)(i) are satisfied.





	(c)	 	“Eligible Employee” means, for purposes of the 401(k) SIMPLE Provisions, any Employee who is
entitled to make Elective Deferrals under the terms of the Plan.
	 
	(d)	 	“Year” means the calendar year.




2.8.3 Salary Reduction Contributions.






 









 









	(a)	 	Each Eligible Employee may make a salary reduction election to have his or her
Compensation reduced for the Year in any amount selected by the Employee subject to the
limitation in Subsection 2.8.3(b). The Employer will make a salary reduction contribution to
the Plan, as an Elective Deferral, in the amount by which the Employee’s Compensation has been
reduced.
	 
	(b)	 	The total salary reduction contribution for the Year cannot exceed ten thousand dollars
($10,000) for any Employee. To the extent permitted by law, this amount will be adjusted to
reflect any annual cost-of-living increases announced by the IRS. After 2005, the ten thousand
dollar ($10,000) limit will be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living
increases under Code section 408(p)(2)(E). Any such adjustments will be in multiples of five
hundred dollars ($500).
	 
	(c)	 	The amount of a Participant’s salary reduction contributions permitted for a Year is
increased for Participants aged fifty (50) or over by the end of the Year by the amount of
allowable Catch-up Contributions. Allowable Catch-up Contributions are twenty-five hundred
dollars ($2,500) for 2006. After 2006, the twenty-five hundred dollar ($2,500) limit will be
adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases under Code section
414(v)(2)(C). Any such adjustments will be in multiples of five hundred dollars ($500).
Catch-up Contributions are otherwise treated the same as other salary reduction contributions.




2.8.4 Other Contributions.





	(a)	 	Matching Contributions. Each Year, the Employer will contribute a Matching Contribution
to the Plan on behalf of each Employee who makes a salary reduction election under Section
2.8.3. The amount of the Matching Contribution will be equal to the Employee’s salary
reduction contribution up to a limit of three percent (3%) of the Employee’s Compensation for
the full Year.
	 
	(b)	 	Non-Elective Contribution. For any Year, instead of a Matching Contribution, the Employer
may elect to contribute a Non-Elective Contribution of two percent (2%) of Compensation for
the full Year for each Eligible Employee who received at least five thousand dollars ($5,000)
of Compensation (or such lesser amount as elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement)
for the Year.




2.8.5 Limitation on Other Contributions. No Employer or Employee contributions may be
made to this Plan for the Year other than a salary reduction contributions described in Section
2.8.3, Matching or Non-Elective Contributions described in Section 2.8.4, and rollover
contributions described in Treasury Regulations section 1.402(c)-2, Q&A-1(a).



2.8.6 Section 415 Limitations. The provisions of the Plan implementing the limitations
of Code section 415 apply to contributions made pursuant to Sections 2.8.3 (other than Catch-up
Contributions) and 2.8.4.



2.8.7 Election and Notice Requirements.





	(a)	 	Election Period






	 	(1)	 	In addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each Eligible
Employee may make or modify a salary reduction election during the 60-day period
immediately preceding each January 1.
	 
	 	(2)	 	For the Year an Employee becomes eligible to make salary reduction contributions
under the 401(k) SIMPLE Provisions, the 60-day election period requirement of Subsection
2.8.7(a)(1) is deemed




 









 






	 	 	 	satisfied if the Employee may make or modify a salary reduction election during a 60-day
period that includes either the date the Employee becomes eligible or the day before.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Each Employee may terminate a salary reduction election at any time during the Year.






	(b)	 	Notice Requirements






	 	(1)	 	The Employer will notify each Eligible Employee prior to the 60-day election period
described in Subsection 2.8.7(a) that he can make a salary reduction election or modify a
prior election during that period.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The notification described in Subsection 2.8.7(b)(1) will indicate whether the
Employer will provide a three-percent (3%) Matching Contribution described in Subsection
2.8.4(a) or a two-percent(2%) Non-Elective Contribution described in Subsection 2.8.4(b).




2.8.8 Vesting Requirements. All benefits attributable to contributions described in
Sections 2.8.3 and 2.8.4 are nonforfeitable at all times, and all previous contributions made under
the Plan are nonforfeitable as of the beginning of the Year the 401(k) SIMPLE Provisions apply.



2.8.9 Top-Heavy Rules. The Plan is not treated as a Top-Heavy plan under Code section
416 for any Year for which this Article applies.



2.8.10 Nondiscrimination Tests. The ADP and ACP tests described in Sections 2.7.1 and
2.7.2 of the Plan are treated as satisfied for any Year for which this Article applies.



2.8.11 Revocation. An amendment to have the 401(k) SIMPLE Provisions no longer apply
is effective the next January 1.





 









 








ARTICLE IX




SAFE HARBOR CODA PROVISIONS


2.9.1 Safe Harbor CODA Rules.





	(a)	 	If the Employer has elected the Safe Harbor CODA option in the Adoption Agreement, this
Article shall apply for the Plan Year and any provisions relating to the ADP test described in
Code section 401(k)(3) or the ACP test described in Code section 401(m)(2) shall not apply.
	 
	(b)	 	If the Employer has not elected the Safe Harbor CODA option in the Adoption Agreement, the
Employer may amend the Plan not later than thirty (30) days before the last day of the Plan
Year to specify that the Safe Harbor Non-Elective Contribution method will be used for the
Plan Year, provided that the Plan otherwise satisfies the ADP (and, if applicable, ACP) test
safe harbor for the Plan Year (including the Notice Requirement of Subsection 2.9.1(c) below).
	 
	(c)	 	Notice Requirement. At least thirty (30) days, or any other reasonable period but not more
than ninety (90) days, before the beginning of the Plan Year, the Employer will provide each
Eligible Employee with a comprehensive notice of the Employee’s rights and obligations under
the Plan, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average Eligible Employee, as
described in Code section 401(k)(12)(D) and the applicable regulations. If an Employee becomes
eligible after the Employer distributes the notice for a particular Plan Year, the Employer
must provide the notice no more than ninety (90) days before such Employee becomes eligible
but not later than the date the Employee becomes eligible.




The Employer reserves the right to amend the Plan to make a Safe Harbor Non-Elective Contribution
under Subsection 2.9.1(b) above. If the Employer wishes to exercise that right, the notice given to
Eligible Employees before the beginning of the Plan Year must provide that: (i) the Plan may be
amended during the Plan Year to provide that the Employer will make a Safe Harbor Non-Elective
Contribution of at least three percent (3%) to the Plan for the Plan Year, and (ii) if the Plan is
so amended, the Employer will give a supplemental notice to Eligible Employees thirty (30) days
prior to the last day of the Plan Year informing them of such an amendment.





	(d)	 	Election Periods. In addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each
Eligible Employee may make or modify a deferral election during the 30-day period immediately
following receipt of the notice described in Subsection 2.9.1(c) above.
	 
	(e)	 	Timing of Matching Contributions. The Employer may also elect in the Adoption Agreement to
meet the matching contribution requirements of this Article IX either (i) with respect to the
Plan Year as a whole, or (ii) separately with respect to each payroll period (or with respect
to all payroll periods ending with or within each month or plan-year quarter) taken into
account under the Plan for the Plan Year (the “payroll period method”). The payroll period
method applies only for purposes of satisfying the ADP Safe Harbor Matching Contribution
requirements of Section 2.9.3 of the Plan and the ACP Safe Harbor Matching Contribution
requirements of Section 2.9.4 of the Plan, if applicable.




Short Form. Safe Harbor Matching Contributions shall be made on an annual basis.





	(f)	 	Interaction With Other Plan Provisions. For any Plan Year in which the Plan relies on this
Article instead of Subsection 2.7.2 to satisfy Code section 401(k)(3), the Plan is treated as
having used Current Year Testing for purposes of Sections 2.7.1 and 2.7.2. The Plan cannot
switch to Prior Year Testing under those Sections unless the Plan meets the requirements of
Treasury Regulations section 1.401(k)-




 









 






	 	 	2(c)(1)(ii).




Safe Harbor Matching Contributions and Safe Harbor Non-Elective Contributions are immediately
nonforfeitable regardless of the age and service of the Participant, or whether the Participant is
employed on a specific date.





	(g)	 	Interaction with the Top-Heavy Rules.






	 	(i)	 	If the Plan is Top-Heavy, within the meaning of Subsection 2.6.2(c), an ADP Test Safe
Harbor Non-Elective Contribution provided pursuant to Subsection 2.9.3(a) can be counted
toward the Plan’s Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution requirement. To the extent that the ADP
Test Safe Harbor Non-Elective Contribution and other eligible Employer Contributions are
less than the Plan’s Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution requirement for a particular
Participant, then that Participant must receive the an additional contribution sufficient
to satisfy the applicable Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution requirement. Although for
purposes of the ADP Test Safe Harbor Non-Elective Contribution, the Plan can limit a
Participant’s compensation to a portion of the Plan Year, the Plan must calculate the
Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution using the Participant’s compensation for the entire Plan
Year.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, an ADP Test Safe Harbor
Matching Contribution provided pursuant to Subsection 2.9.3(a) can be counted toward the
Plan’s Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution requirement. To the extent that the ADP Test Safe
Harbor Matching Contribution and other eligible Employer Contributions are less than the
Plan’s Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution requirement for a particular Participant, then that
Participant must receive the an additional contribution sufficient to satisfy the
applicable Top-Heavy Minimum Contribution requirement.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If the Plan receives only Elective Deferrals, including Catch-up Contributions, and
contributions pursuant to this Article in a Plan Year, Code section 416(g)(4)(H) provides
that the Plan will be deemed not to be Top-Heavy even if it would otherwise be considered
a Top-Heavy Plan pursuant to Subsection 2.6.2(c). This rule is effective for Plan Years
beginning after December 31, 2001. To meet this requirement for a particular Plan Year, no
other Employer Contributions may be allocated to Participants for that Plan Year,
including the allocation of any Forfeitures. In addition, all Matching Contributions must
satisfy the requirements of Code section 401(m)(11).






	(h)	 	This Article Governs. To the extent that any other provision of the Plan is inconsistent
with the provisions of this Article, the provisions of this Article shall govern.




2.9.2 Definitions.





	(a)	 	“Compensation” is defined in Part I, Article II, except, for purposes
of this Article, no dollar limit, other than the limit imposed by Code section 401(a)(17),
applies to the Compensation of a Non-Highly Compensated Employee. However, solely for purposes
of determining the Compensation subject to a Participant’s deferral election, the Employer may
use an alternative definition to the one described in the preceding sentence, provided such
alternative definition is a reasonable definition within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
section 1.414(s)-1(d)(2) and permits each Participant to elect sufficient Elective Deferrals
to receive the maximum amount of Matching Contributions (determined using the definition of
Compensation described in the preceding sentence) available to the Participant under the Plan.
	 
	(b)	 	“Eligible Employee” means an Employee eligible to make Elective Deferrals
under the Plan for any part of the Plan Year or who would be eligible to make Elective
Deferrals but for a suspension due to a Hardship distribution described in Section 2.5.10 or
to statutory limitations, such as Code sections 402(g) and 415. The Employer may elect in the
Adoption Agreement to exclude Participants from the ADP Safe




 









 






	 	 	Harbor or ACP Safe Harbor portion of the Plan who have not completed a Year of Service since
their original Employment Commencement Date, or have not yet reached age 21, and are not
employed on the earlier of the first day of the next Plan Year after meeting the preceding
requirements or 6 months after meeting the preceding requirements.




2.9.3 ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions.





	(a)	 	ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions






	 	(1)	 	Unless the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to make Enhanced Matching
Contributions or Safe Harbor Non-Elective Contributions, the Employer will contribute for
the Plan Year a Safe Harbor Matching Contribution to the Plan on behalf of each Eligible
Employee equal to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Employee’s Elective
Deferrals that do not exceed three percent (3%) of the Employee’s Compensation for the
Plan Year, plus (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Employee’s Elective
Deferrals that exceed three percent (3%) of the Employee’s Compensation but that do not
exceed five percent (5%) of the Employee’s Compensation (“Basic Matching Contributions”).
	 
	 	(2)	 	Notwithstanding the requirement in (a) above that the Employer make ADP Test Safe
Harbor Contributions to this Plan, a Non-Standardized Plan may provide in the Adoption
Agreement that ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions will be made to the defined contribution
plan indicated in the Adoption Agreement (Not available in Short Form Adoption
Agreements). However, such contributions will be made to this Plan unless (i) each
Employee eligible under this Plan is also eligible under the other plan and (ii) the other
plan has the same plan year as this Plan.
	 
	 	(3)	 	The Participant’s Account balance derived from ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions is
nonforfeitable and may not be distributed earlier than separation from service, death,
Disability, an event described in Code section 401(k)(10), or, in the case of a profit
sharing plan, the attainment of age fifty-nine and one-half (591/2). In addition, such
contributions must satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor without regard to permitted disparity
under Code section 401(l).






	(b)	 	If the Plan is making Matching Contributions under Subsection (a), the Plan may be amended to
reduce or eliminate such Contributions by complying with the requirements of Treasury
Regulations section 1.401(m)-3(h).




2.9.4 ACP Test Safe Harbor Matching Contributions.





	(a)	 	In addition to the ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions described in Subsection 2.9.3(a) of
this Article, the Employer will make the ACP Test Safe Harbor Matching Contributions, if any,
indicated in the Adoption Agreement for the Plan Year.






	(b)	 	ACP Test Safe Harbor Matching Contributions will be vested as indicated in the Adoption
Agreement, but, in any event, such contributions shall be fully vested at Normal Retirement
Age, upon the complete or partial termination of the Plan, or upon the complete discontinuance
of Employer Contributions. Forfeitures of nonvested ACP Test Safe Harbor Matching
Contributions will be used to reduce the Employer’s Contribution.




 









 











PART III




ARTICLE I



ACCOUNTING


3.1.1 Accounts. All income, profits, recoveries, contributions, and any and all moneys,
securities, and properties of any kind at any time received or held by the Trustee shall be held as
a commingled Trust Fund, except to the extent such assets are transferred to a Segregated Fund or
Controlled Account. For accounting purposes, the Plan Administrator shall, as necessary, establish
and maintain the following Accounts for each Participant:





	(a)	 	Employer Account
	 
	(b)	 	Controlled Account
	 
	(c)	 	Elective Account
	 
	(d)	 	Matching Account
	 
	(e)	 	Qualified Matching Account
	 
	(f)	 	Qualified Non-Elective Account
	 
	(g)	 	Voluntary Account
	 
	(h)	 	Deductible Voluntary Account
	 
	(i)	 	Pre-tax Elective Account
	 
	(j)	 	Roth Deferral Account
	 
	(k)	 	Deemed IRA Account
	 
	(l)	 	Pre-tax IRA Account
	 
	(m)	 	Roth IRA Account
	 
	(n)	 	Rollover Account
	 
	(o)	 	ADP Test Safe Harbor Account
	 
	(p)	 	ACP Test Safe Harbor Account
	 
	(q)	 	Segregated Account




If, to fulfill any purposes of the Plan, assets are either deposited initially or transferred to a
Segregated Fund for the benefit of a Participant, the Plan Administrator shall establish and
maintain a Segregated Account for the Participant. If a Participant elects to exercise investment
control over all or a portion of his Accounts, the Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain
a Controlled Account for the Participant.



3.1.2 Valuation Adjustments.





 









 









	(a)	 	As of each Valuation Date, the following adjustments shall be made to each Participant’s
Accounts in a manner consistent with the Plan’s recordkeeping system:






	 	(1)	 	Distributions. Any distribution made to or on behalf of a Participant since the last
preceding Valuation Date shall be deducted from the Participant’s Account from which the
distribution was made.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Expenses. Expenses earmarked for an individual Participant, if any, shall reduce his
Account balance.
	 
	 	(3)	 	Contributions. Each Participant’s Account shall be increased by his portion of any
Employer Contributions, Non-Elective Contributions, other contributions to the Plan by the
Employer, Elective Deferrals, any allocated Forfeitures, and any other contributions made
on behalf of the Participant.
	 
	 	(4)	 	Forfeitures. If a Participant terminates service with the Employer, is less than one
hundred percent (100%) vested, and forfeits the non-vested portion of his Account, then
his Account and the amount available for distribution shall be reduced by the amount of
such Forfeiture. To the extent that the Plan provides additional allocations from
Forfeitures, the Accounts of those eligible for such an allocation will increase.
	 
	 	(5)	 	Adjustment to Fair Market Value. The Trustee shall appraise all moneys, securities,
and other property in the Trust Fund, including Segregated Funds and Controlled Accounts
but excluding Life Insurance Policies, at the then fair market value for each asset. In
determining such value, all income and contributions, if any, received by the Trustee from
the Employer or Participants shall be included and all expenses shall be deducted, such
amounts being determined under the accounting method of the Trust. If the total net value
so determined by the Trustee exceeds (or is less than) the total amount in the respective
Accounts of all Participants, the excess (or deficiency) shall be added to (or deducted
from) the respective Accounts of all Participants in the ratio that each such
Participant’s Account bears to the total amount in all such Accounts.
	 
	 	(6)	 	Insurance. If this Plan is funded by individual contracts that provide a
Participant’s benefit under the Plan, such individual contracts shall constitute the
Participant’s Account balance. If this Plan is funded by group annuity contracts or group
insurance contracts, premiums or other consideration received by the insurance company
must be allocated to Participants’ Accounts under the Plan. Payments made since the last
preceding Valuation Date for Life Insurance Policies on the life of a Participant or
someone in whom the Participant has an insurable interest (including without limitation
payments of premiums and interest on policy loans) shall be deducted from the Account of
the Participant from which the payment was made. Dividends or credits received since the
last preceding Valuation Date on any Life Insurance Policy shall be added to the Account
of the Participant from which the premiums for such Life Insurance Policy have been paid.
	 
	 	(7)	 	Loans. The issuance of a loan to a Participant reduces the Account from which it is
issued and increases the Participant’s outstanding loan obligation. Loan repayments,
including principal and interest, shall increase the Account to which the repayment is
made and decrease the outstanding loan obligation.
	 
	 	(8)	 	Transfers To or From Segregated Funds. To the extent that funds are transferred to a
Segregated Fund from the general assets of the Trust or from a Segregated Fund to the
general assets of the Trust pursuant to any of the provisions of the Plan, the Account
from which the funds were transferred shall be decreased and the Account to which the
funds were transferred shall be increased for each affected Participant.






	(b)	 	Every adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall be considered as having been made no
later than the applicable Valuation Date pursuant to policies established by the Trustee in a
nondiscriminatory




 









 






		 	manner. The Trustee’s determination regarding the valuation of assets and charges or credits to
the individual Accounts of the respective Participants shall be conclusive and binding on all
persons. If funds are transferred from the Trust Fund to a Segregated Fund as of any date other
than a Valuation Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the adjustment made pursuant to this
Section shall be made as of the date such transfer was made, as if such date is a Valuation
Date. If any Participant receives a distribution pursuant to the terms of the Plan as of any
date other than a Valuation Date, then the adjustments made pursuant to this Section shall be
made in the manner specified in the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	Short Form. Adjustments for distributions made between Valuation Dates shall not be made.
Distributions will be valued as of the preceding Valuation Date.




3.1.3 Allocation of Earnings, Gains, and Losses. As of each Valuation Date, the net
income of the Trust Fund recognized since the prior Valuation Date will be allocated among
Participant Accounts in a nondiscriminatory manner according to policies established by the
Trustee. Net income is the interest, dividends, net gains or losses from the sale of investments,
and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in Trust Fund assets, less investment expenses of the
Trust Fund. The portion of a Participant’s Account held in a Controlled Account shall not
participate in the allocation of earnings of this Section, but instead shall be credited with the
actual earnings of such Controlled Account. In the event that the Participant’s Accounts (or
portion thereof) are invested in assets that are valued on a daily basis, his Account shall reflect
the daily activity of such assets and the method of allocating earnings described above shall not
apply.



Short Form. Earnings will be credited solely as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date to
Participants who receive distributions on any date other than a Valuation Date.



3.1.4 Interim Valuations. It is contemplated that the Trust Fund will be valued by the
Trustee and allocations made only on a Valuation Date. At any time that the Plan’s valuations are
not performed on a daily basis, should it be necessary to make distributions under the provisions
hereof and the Plan Administrator in good faith determines that, because of (a) an extraordinary
change in general economic conditions, (b) the occurrence of some casualty materially affecting the
value of the Trust Fund or a substantial part thereof, or (c) a significant fluctuation in the
value of the Trust Fund has occurred since the immediately preceding Valuation Date, the Plan
Administrator may, in his sole discretion, prevent the payee from receiving a substantially greater
or lesser amount than what he would be entitled to, based on current values, and cause a
re-valuation of the Trust Fund to be made and a reallocation of the interests therein as of the
date the payee’s right of distribution becomes fixed. The Plan Administrator’s determination to
make such special valuation and the valuation of the Trust Fund as determined by the Trustee shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons ever interested hereunder. Such interim valuation shall
not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees.



3.1.5 Earnings on Forfeitures In the event that a Participant forfeits part of his
Account balance, such Forfeiture shall not be credited with earnings after the date the Forfeiture
is recognized pursuant to Section 2.4.4.



3.1.6 Plan Expenses Reasonable expenses for administration, investments, and
processing shall be charged against the Trust Fund earnings, paid by the Employer, or allocated
among terminated and active Participants according to an expense policy adopted by the Employer and
applied in a uniform manner consistent with DOL and Treasury regulations.





 









 








ARTICLE II




LIMITATIONS


3.2.1 Limitations on Annual Additions. The Annual Additions contributed or allocated to a
Participant’s Account for a Limitation Year shall not exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, as
determined in Section 3.2.2. If the total amounts contributed or allocated would otherwise produce
Annual Additions in excess of the Maximum Permissible Amount, the allocations or contributions
shall be reduced pursuant to Section 3.2.3 so that the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year
equal the Maximum Permissible Amount.



If a Participant participates in, or has ever participated in, any of the following types of plans
or funds maintained by the Employer, then the Annual Additions derived from the allocations of all
such plans and this Plan credited to a Participant shall not exceed the lesser of the Maximum
Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year or any other limitation contained in the Plan:





	(a)	 	Another qualified defined contribution plan;,
	 
	(b)	 	A welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code section 419(e), under which amounts attributable
to post-retirement medical benefits are held in separate accounts for Key Employees;
	 
	(c)	 	An individual medical account, as defined in Code section 415(l)(2); or
	 
	(d)	 	A simplified employee pension, as defined in Code section 408(k),




If such Annual Additions exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year, the amounts
contributed or allocated shall be reduced in accordance with Section 3.2.4 so that the Annual
Additions under all such plans and funds for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible
Amount.



3.2.2 Determination of Annual Additions and Maximum Permissible Amount.





	(a)	 	Annual Additions. The term “Annual Additions” shall mean the sum of the following
amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts for the Limitation Year:






	 	(1)	 	Employer Contributions;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Employee contributions;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Forfeitures;
	 
	 	(4)	 	Excess Elective Deferrals, Excess Contributions and Excess Aggregate Contributions;
	 
	 	(5)	 	Amounts allocated after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical account, as defined
in Code section 415(l)(2), that is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the
Employer;
	 
	 	(6)	 	Amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in
taxable years ending after such date, that are attributable to post-retirement medical
benefits held in separate accounts for Key Employees under a welfare benefit fund as
defined in Code section 419(e), maintained by the Employer; and
	 
	 	(7)	 	Allocations under a simplified employee pension as defined in Code section 408(k).




 









 










For this purpose, Excess Elective Deferrals are disregarded to the extent distributed to the
Participant. Excess Contributions and Excess Aggregate Contributions are included even if
distributed to the Participant. Any other amounts are disregarded if they are held in a suspense
account or reallocated to other Participants in accordance with Section 3.2.3. Any excess amounts
applied under Section 3.2.3 to reduce Employer Contributions in a Limitation Year are considered
Annual Additions for such Limitation Year.





	(b)	 	Maximum Permissible Amount. Except for Catch-up Contributions, the term “Maximum Permissible
Amount” shall mean, for any Limitation Year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the lesser
of:






	 	(1)	 	Forty thousand dollars ($40,000), as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living
under Code section 415(d), or
	 
	 	(2)	 	One hundred percent (100%) of a Participant’s compensation, as defined in Subsection
3.2.5(a), for the Limitation Year.






	 	 	The compensation limit referred to in (2) above shall not apply to any contribution for medical
benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code sections 401(h) or
419A(f)(2)) that is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition.
	 
	 	 	Prior to determining a Participant’s actual Compensation for a Limitation Year, the Employer
may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for the Participant based on a reasonable estimate
of the Participant’s Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all
Participants similarly situated. As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
Limitation Year, the Employer shall determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation
Year based on the Participant’s actual Compensation for the Limitation Year.
	 
	(c)	 	Short Limitation Year. If a short Limitation Year is created because of an amendment
changing the Limitation Year to a different twelve (12) consecutive month period, the
limitation determined in subsection (b)(1) above shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of months in the short Limitation Year and the denominator of
which is twelve (12). Any new Limitation Year must begin within the Limitation Year in which
the amendment is made.




3.2.3 Excess Annual Additions. If, due to the allocation of Forfeitures, a reasonable
estimation of a Participant’s Compensation that exceeds his actual Compensation, or a
miscalculation in a Participant’s Elective Deferrals, a Participant’s Annual Additions exceed his
Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year, the following adjustments may be made in an
order determined by the Plan Administrator and applied in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner
until the Participant’s Annual Additions equal his Maximum Permissible Amount:





	(a)	 	Any Excess Annual Addition attributable to nondeductible Voluntary Employee Contributions
(plus attributable earnings) made by a Participant to the extent they reduce the excess amount
shall be returned to the Participant before any other adjustments are made.
	 
	(b)	 	If an excess amount still exists, any Elective Deferrals (plus attributable earnings) of the
Participant, to the extent they reduce the excess amount, shall be distributed to the
Participant. Pre-tax Elective Deferrals shall be distributed prior to Roth Deferrals. Matching
Contributions attributable to those Elective Deferrals shall be forfeited in according with
Section 2.7.9.
	 
	(c)	 	If an excess amount still exists, then one of the following methods for the allocation and/or
return of such Excess Annual Additions shall be used:




 









 












	 	(1)	 	The excess amounts in the Participant’s Account must be allocated and reallocated to
other Participants in the Plan, subject to the limitation that no Participant has Annual
Additions in excess of his Maximum Permissible Amount. However, if all Plan Participants
have Annual Additions equal to their Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year,
any remaining excess amounts must be held unallocated in a suspense account and allocated
and reallocated to Participants’ Accounts in the next Limitation Year before any Employer
Contributions and Employee Contributions that would constitute Annual Additions may be
made to the Plan for that Limitation Year, and if necessary, allocated and reallocated in
succeeding Limitation Years before any Employer Contributions or Employee contributions
are made for those years.
	 
	 	(2)	 	If an excess amount still exists, and the Participant is covered by the Plan at the
end of the Limitation Year, the excess amount shall be used to reduce Employer
Contributions (including any allocation of Forfeitures) for such Participant in the next
Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year, if necessary. If an excess amount
still exists, and the Participant is not covered by the Plan at the end of a Limitation
Year, the excess amount shall be held unallocated in a suspense account that shall be
applied to reduce future Employer Contributions for all remaining Participants in the next
Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year, if necessary.




Short Form. The correction of Excess Annual Additions shall be accomplished following the
provisions (a), (b) and (c)(2) of this Section 3.2.3.



If a suspense account exists at any time during a particular Limitation Year, all amounts in the
suspense account must be allocated and reallocated to Participants’ Accounts before any Employer or
any Employee Contributions may be made to the Plan for that Limitation Year. Excess amounts in a
suspense account may not be distributed to Participants or former Participants. If a suspense
account exists at any time during a Limitation Year, it shall not participate in the allocation of
the Trust Fund’s investment gains and losses.



3.2.4 Participation in Certain Other Plans. If the Annual Additions with respect to
the Participant under such other plans and funds maintained by the Employer are less than the
Maximum Permissible Amount and the Employer Contribution that would otherwise be contributed or
allocated to the Participant’s Account under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated shall be reduced so
that the Annual Additions under all such plans and funds for the Limitation Year shall equal the
Maximum Permissible Amount. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant under such
other plans and funds in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the Maximum Permissible Amount,
no amount will be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account under this Plan for the
Limitation Year.



If a Participant’s Annual Additions under this Plan and such other plans and funds maintained by
the Employer would result in an excess amount for a Limitation Year, such excess shall be
distributed or reallocated according to the provisions of Section 3.2.3, and the excess amount
shall be deemed to consist of the Annual Additions last allocated. In addition, allocations to
qualified defined contribution plans shall be adjusted first, followed by adjustments to
allocations to a simplified employee pension, followed by adjustments to allocations to an
individual medical account, followed by adjustments to allocations to a welfare benefit fund, as
those terms are referenced in Section 3.2.1.



If the excess amount was allocated to a Participant on an allocation date of this Plan that
coincides with an allocation date of another plan, the excess amount attributed to this Plan will
be the product of:





	(i)	 	The total excess amount allocated as of such date, times
	 
	(ii)	 	The ratio of (I) the Annual Additions allocated to the Participant for the Limitation Year as
of such date under this Plan to (II) the total Annual Additions allocated to the Participant
for the Limitation Year as of such date under this and all the other qualified prototype
defined contribution plans. Any excess amount attributed to this Plan will be disposed in the
manner described in Section 3.2.3.




If the Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the
Employer that





 









 







is not a prototype plan, Annual Additions that may be credited to the Participant’s Account under
this Plan for any Limitation Year shall be limited as provided above as though the other plan were
a prototype plan unless the Employer specifies other limitations in the Adoption Agreement.



For purposes hereof, the excess amount is the excess of the Participant’s Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year over the Maximum Permissible Amount and a prototype plan is a plan the form of
which is the subject of a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service.



3.2.5 Definitions. For purposes of this Article, the terms below have the following
meanings:





	(a)	 	Compensation. As elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, Compensation shall mean
all of a Participant’s:






	 	(i)	 	Wages, Tips, and Other Compensation Box on Form W-2. Wages as defined in Code
section 3401(a) and all other payments of Compensation to an Employee by the Employer (in
the course of the Employer’s trade or business) for which the Employer is required to
furnish the Employee a written statement under Code sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and
6052.






	 	 	Compensation must be determined without regard to any rules under Code section 3401(a) that
limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or
the services rendered (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code section
3401(a)(2)).






	 	(ii)	 	Section 3401(a) Wages. Wages as defined in Code section 3401(a) for the purposes of
income tax withholding at the source but determined without regard to any rules that limit
the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or
the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code section
3401(a)(2)).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Section 415 Safe-Harbor Compensation. Wages, salaries and fees for professional
services and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in
cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment for the Employer
maintaining the Plan to the extent that the amounts are includible in gross income
(including but not limited to commissions paid salesmen, compensation for services on the
basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe
benefits, and reimbursements or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan (as
described in Treasury Regulations section 1.62-2(c)), but excluding:






	 	(I)	 	Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option or when
restricted stock or property held by the Employee is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture or becomes freely transferable.
	 
	 	(II)	 	Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock
acquired under a qualified stock option.
	 
	 	(III)	 	Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation that are not
includible in the Employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which contributed,
or Employer contributions under a simplified employee pension plan, or any
distributions from a plan of deferred compensation.
	 
	 	(IV)	 	amounts which received special tax benefits, or contributions made by the
employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) towards the purchase of
an annuity contract described in § 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (whether or
not the contributions are actually excludable from the gross income of the employee).




 









 










Short Form. A Participant’s Compensation shall be equal to total compensation that is actually paid
to the Participant by the Employer during the Plan Year and includes all information required to be
reported under Code sections 6041, 6051, and 6052 (wages, tips, and other compensation as reported
on Form W-2). Compensation includes wages, (within the meaning of Code section 3401(a)) and all
other payments of compensation to an Employee by the Employer (in the course of the Employer’s
trade or business) for which the Employer is required to furnish the Employee a written statement
under Code sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and 6052. Such compensation must be determined without
regard to any rules under Code section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages based
on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for
agricultural labor in Code section 3401(a)(2)). In the case of a Self-Employed Individual,
Compensation means Earned Income during such period. Compensation for a Participant’s initial year
of participation shall be Compensation from the Participant’s Entry Date. For any Self-Employed
Individual, Compensation shall mean Earned Income. For Limitation Years beginning after December
31, 1991, for purposes of applying the limitations of this Article, Compensation for a Limitation
Year is the Compensation actually paid or made available during such Limitation Year.



Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, Compensation for a
Participant who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code section 22(e)(3)) is the
Compensation such Participant would have received for the Limitation Year if the Participant had
been paid at the rate of Compensation paid immediately before becoming permanently and totally
disabled. (Not available in Short Form Adoption Agreements)



For purposes of applying the limitations of this Section, Compensation paid or made available
during such Limitation Year shall include any elective deferral (as defined in Code section
402(g)(3)), and any amount that is contributed or deferred by the Employer at the election of the
Employee and that is not includible in the gross income of the Employee by reason of Code sections
125, 132(f)(4), or 457.



The Employer may elect to include Deemed Section 125 Compensation in Compensation.





	(b)	 	Employer. Employer shall mean the employer that adopts this Plan and all members of a group
of employers that constitutes a controlled group of corporations or trades or businesses under
common control (as defined in Code sections 414(b) and (c), as modified by Code section
415(h)), or an affiliated service group (as defined in Code section 414(m)) of which the
adopting employer is part and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer
under Code section 414(o) and the regulations issued thereunder.




3.2.6 Controlled Businesses. If this Plan provides contributions or benefits for one
or more Owner-Employees who control both the business for which this Plan is established and one or
more other trades or businesses, this Plan must, when looked at as a single plan, satisfy Code
section 401(a), and contributions on behalf of any Owner-Employee may be made only with respect to
the Earned Income of such Owner-Employee that is derived from the trade or business with respect to
which this Plan is established.

liabilities, costs, and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act or omission to act
in connection with the performance of the duties, responsibilities, and obligations under the Plan
and under the Act; provided that any such insurance policy purchased with Plan assets permits
subrogation by the insurer against the Fiduciary in the case of breach by such Fiduciary.



Unless otherwise determined and communicated to affected parties by the Employer, the Employer
shall indemnify and hold harmless each such person, other than a corporate trustee, for and from
any such liabilities, costs, and expenses that are not covered by any such insurance, except to the
extent that any such liabilities, costs, or expenses are judicially determined to be due to the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such person. No Plan assets may be used for any such
indemnification.



3.3.7 Expenses. Expenses incurred by the Plan Administrator or the Trustee in the
administration of the Plan and the Trust, including appropriate fees for legal services regarding
the Plan, such compensation to the Trustee as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time
between the Employer and the Trustee, and all other proper charges and expenses of the Plan
Administrator or the Trustee and of their agents and counsel shall be paid by the Employer, or at
its election at any time or from time to time, may be charged against the assets of the Trust, but
until so paid shall constitute a charge upon the assets of the Trust.



The Trustee shall have the authority to charge the Trust Fund for its compensation and reasonable
expenses unless paid or contested by written notice by the Employer within sixty (60) days after
mailing of the written billing by the Trustee. All taxes of any and all kinds whatsoever that may

has been indemnified to the Trustee’s satisfaction for any fees, costs, and expenses to be incurred
in connection therewith.



3.3.9 Investment Manager. The Employer may employ as an investment manager or managers
to manage all or any part of the Trust Fund any (a) investment advisor registered under the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940; (b) bank as defined in said Investment Advisors Act; or (c)
insurance company qualified to perform investment management services in more than one state. Any
investment manager shall have all powers of the Trustee in the management of such part of the Trust
Fund, including the power to acquire or dispose of assets.



In the event an investment manager is so appointed, the Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or
omissions of such investment manager or be under any obligation to invest or otherwise manage that
part of the Trust Fund that is subject to the management of the investment manager. The Employer
shall notify the Trustee in writing of any appointment of an investment manager, and shall provide
the Trustee with the investment manager’s written acknowledgment that it is a Fiduciary with
respect to the Plan.



3.3.10 Finality of Decisions or Acts. Except for the right of a Participant or
Beneficiary to appeal the denial of a claim, any decision or action of the Plan Administrator or
the Trustee made or done in good faith upon any matter within the scope of authority and discretion
of the Plan Administrator or the Trustee shall be final and binding upon all persons. In the event
of judicial review of actions taken by any Fiduciary within the scope of his duties in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and the Trust, such actions shall be upheld unless determined to have
been arbitrary and capricious.

to time. The primary responsibility of the Plan Administrator is to administer the Plan for the
exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, subject to the specific terms of the
Plan. The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan and shall construe and determine all
questions of interpretation or policy in his sole discretion. The Plan Administrator may correct
any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in such manner and to such extent
as he shall deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the Plan; provided, however,
that any interpretation or construction shall be done in a nondiscriminatory manner and shall be
consistent with the intent that the Plan shall continue to be a qualified Plan pursuant to the
Code, and shall comply with the terms of the Act. The Plan Administrator shall have all powers
necessary or appropriate to accomplish his duties under the Plan.





	(a)	 	The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for the general administration of the Plan,
including but not limited to the following duties:






	 	(1)	 	To determine all questions relating to the eligibility of an Employee to

any eligible Participant.
	 
	 	(8)	 	To advise the Fiduciary responsible for Plan investments regarding the short and
long-term liquidity needs of the Plan in order that the Fiduciary might direct its
investment accordingly.
	 
	 	(9)	 	To advise, counsel, and assist any Participant regarding any rights, benefits, or
elections available under the Plan.
	 
	 	(10)	 	To instruct the Trustee regarding the management, investment, and reinvestment of
the Trust Fund unless the investment authority has been delegated to the Trustee or an
investment manager.






	(b)	 	The Plan Administrator shall also be responsible for preparing and filing such annual
disclosure reports and tax forms as may be required from time to time by the Secretary of
Labor, the Secretary of the Treasury, or other governmental authorities.






	(c)	 	Whenever the Plan Administrator determines it is in the best interest of the Plan and its
Participants or Beneficiaries, the Plan Administrator may request such variances, deferrals,
extensions, or exemptions or make such elections for the Plan as may be available under the
law.




 









 












	(d)	 	The Plan Administrator shall procure bonding for all persons dealing with the Plan or its
assets as may be required by law.




3.4.2 Disclosure Requirements. Every Participant covered under the Plan and every
Beneficiary receiving benefits under the Plan shall receive from the Plan Administrator a summary
plan description and such other information as may be required by law or by the terms of the Plan.



3.4.3 Information Generally Available. The Plan Administrator shall make copies of
this Plan and the Trust, the Adoption Agreement, the summary plan description, latest annual
report, Life Insurance Policies, or other instruments under which the Plan was established or is
operated available for examination by any Participant or Beneficiary in the principal office of the
Plan Administrator and such other locations as may be necessary to make such information reasonably
accessible to all interested parties. Subject to a reasonable charge to defray the cost of
furnishing such copies, the Plan Administrator shall, upon written request of any Participant or
Beneficiary, furnish a copy of any of the above documents to the respective party.



3.4.4 Statement of Account. Upon written request to the Plan Administrator once during
any twelve (12) month period, a Participant or Beneficiary shall be furnished with a written
statement, based on the latest available information, of his then vested Account balance and the
earliest date upon which the same will become fully vested and nonforfeitable. The statement shall
also include a notice to the Participant of any benefits that are forfeitable if the Participant
dies before a certain date.



3.4.5 Explanation of Rollover Treatment. The Plan Administrator shall, when making a
distribution eligible for rollover treatment, provide a written explanation to the recipient of the
provisions under which such distribution will not be subject to tax if transferred to an Eligible
Retirement Plan within sixty (60) days after the date on which the recipient received the
distribution and, if applicable, the provisions of law pertaining to the tax treatment of lump sum
distributions.



3.4.6 Electromechanical Communications. Electromechanical communications are
permitted, but not required, among all parties to a communication regarding the Plan, including the
Employer, Trustee, Plan Administrator, and Participant. Each Plan Fiduciary may adopt policies to
govern its use of electromechanical communications, including policies developed by third parties
working with the Fiduciary on Plan matters.



The Trustee (or other agent appointed for this purpose) may, but is not required to, act upon
receipt of directions (including, without limitation, directions pursuant to voice response
systems, facsimile, or other electromechanical means) with regard to all Plan transactions. The
Trustee may comply with such direction and will incur no liability for doing so. If the Trustee
permits the use of electromechanical directions, the giving of such directions shall have the same
meaning as if the directions were in writing and delivered as a document.



In the sole judgment of the Plan Administrator, if any Participant or Beneficiary entitled to
benefits is not capable of managing his benefits under the Plan, any election that may be made by a
Participant or Beneficiary may be made by the legal representative of such individual.



If the Plan Administrator, in his sole discretion is not satisfied with the power of a legal
representative to act on behalf of a Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator may require
an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.



3.4.7 Elections on Behalf of an Incapacitated Person. In the sole judgment of the Plan
Administrator, if any person entitled to benefits under the Plan is incapacitated, any election
that such person is permitted to make under the Plan may be made by the legal representative of
such person.



If the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, is not satisfied with the power of a legal
representative to act on behalf of a person, the Plan Administrator may require an order from a
court of competent jurisdiction.

Short Form. Plans based on the Short Form Standardized Adoption Agreement permit loans to
Participants.



3.5.2 Spousal Consent. Subject to Subsection 2.5.7(k), a Participant must obtain the
written consent of his spouse, if any, to the use of the Participant’s interest in the Plan as
security for a Participant loan within ninety (90) days before the date on which the loan is to be
so secured, unless the Participant establishes the consent of the spouse cannot be obtained or the
total value of the Participant’s Accounts is less than $5,000. A new consent must be obtained
whenever the amount of the loan is increased or if the loan is renegotiated, extended, renewed, or
otherwise revised. The consent must acknowledge the effect of such consent and be witnessed by a
Plan representative or a notary public. Such consent shall thereafter be binding with respect to
the consenting spouse or any subsequent spouse with respect to that loan.



If a valid spousal consent has been obtained, then notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
the portion of the Participant’s vested Account balance used as a security interest held by the
Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to the Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of
determining the amount of the Account balance payable at the time of death or distribution, but
only if the reduction is used as repayment of the loan. If less than the entire amount of the
Participant’s vested Account balance (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) is
payable to the surviving spouse, the Account balance shall first be reduced by the amount of the
security used as repayment of the loan before determining the benefit payable to each Beneficiary,
including the surviving spouse.



3.5.3 Limitations. Except as provided in the Participant loan program, in no event
shall the amount loaned to any Participant or Beneficiary, when added to the outstanding balance of
all other loans to the Participant or Beneficiary, exceed the lesser of (a) fifty thousand dollars
($50,000.00) (reduced by the excess, if any, of the highest outstanding balance of loans from the
Plan during the one-year period ending on the day before the date on which the loan was made over
the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which such loan was made) or (b)
one-half (1/2) of the vested and nonforfeitable interest in his Accounts, determined as of the
Valuation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding such loan or ten thousand dollars
($10,000), if greater.





 









 







For purposes hereof, all loans from all plans of the Employer and other members of a group of
employers described in Code sections 414(b), (c), (m), and (o) shall be aggregated. All loans must
be adequately secured and bear a reasonable interest rate. No Participant loan shall exceed the
present value of the Participant’s vested Account balance. In the event of a default, foreclosure
on the note evidencing the loan and attachment of the security shall not occur until a
distributable event occurs.



3.5.4 Availability. If loans are authorized in the Adoption Agreement, they must be
available to all Participants and Beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent basis without regard to
any individual’s race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin. Loans shall not be made
available to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to
other Employees.



3.5.5 Default. In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of
security will not occur until a distributable event occurs for the Participant.



3.5.6 Qualified Military Service. If elected in the Participant loan program, the
obligation to repay any loan made to a Participant who is performing service in the uniformed
services shall be suspended, as permitted under Code section 414(u)(4). Such a suspension of loan
repayments shall not trigger a distribution under Code section 72(p) or constitute a loan default.





 









 








ARTICLE VI




BENEFICIARIES


3.6.1 Designation of Beneficiaries. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5.7, each
Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries and contingent or
successive Beneficiaries to receive any benefits provided by this Plan that become payable upon the
Participant’s death. The Participant may change the Beneficiaries at any time or times by the
filing of a new designation with the Plan Administrator, and the most recent designation shall
govern. In the absence of a designation, the Designated Beneficiary shall be the surviving spouse
of the Participant, unless such surviving spouse consents in writing to an alternate designation
and the terms of such consent acknowledge the effect of such alternate designation and the consent
is witnessed by a representative of the Plan or by a notary public. The designation of a
Beneficiary other than the spouse of the Participant or an optional form of benefit with the
consent of such spouse may not be changed without the consent of such spouse, and any consent must
acknowledge the specific non-spouse Beneficiary, including any class of Beneficiaries or any
contingent Beneficiaries, unless the spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant
without any further spousal consent. Regardless of any prior designation, a Participant, at any
time, may designate his spouse as Beneficiary, and with respect to Accounts providing annuities,
may also designate the form of benefit as a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.



Any consent by a spouse obtained under this provision (or establishment that the consent of a
spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such spouse. A consent that
permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by such spouse
must acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary, and a
specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish
either or both of such rights. A Participant may revoke a prior waiver without the consent of the
spouse at any time prior to the commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be
limited. No consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless the Participant has
received notice as provided in Subsection 2.5.7(d).



3.6.2 Absence or Death of Beneficiaries. Except with respect to the process of any
life insurance payable upon the death of the Participant, if a Participant dies without having a
Beneficiary designation then in force, or if all of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiaries
predecease him, his Beneficiary shall be his surviving spouse, or if none, his surviving children,
equally, or if none, such other heirs, or the executor or administrator of his estate, as the Plan
Administrator shall select.



Unless otherwise designated by the Participant, if a Participant dies and is survived by some, but
not all, of his Designated Beneficiaries, such surviving Beneficiaries shall be deemed his sole
Beneficiaries. In the event that a surviving Beneficiary dies before the complete distribution of
the deceased Participant’s interest, the estate of such Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the
Beneficiary of the undistributed portion of such interest.



3.6.3 Surviving Spouse Election. If the Plan is designated in the Adoption Agreement
as a Cash or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan or a Profit Sharing Plan and the Employer does not elect
a life annuity form of distribution in the Adoption Agreement, a surviving spouse, who has not
consented to an alternate designation under Section 3.6.1, above, may elect to have distribution of
the Participant’s vested Account balance commence within the 90-day period following the date of
the Participant’s death. The Account balance shall be adjusted for gains or losses occurring after
the Participant’s death in accordance with the provisions of the Plan governing the adjustment of
Account balances for other types of distributions, as well as for the outstanding balance of any
Plan loan to the Participant.





 









 








ARTICLE VII




CLAIMS


3.7.1 Claim Procedure (Non-Disability). Any Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to a
payment of a benefit for which provision is made in this Plan shall file a written claim with the
Plan Administrator on such forms as shall be furnished to him by the Plan Administrator and shall
furnish such evidence of entitlement to benefits as the Plan Administrator may require. The Plan
Administrator shall notify the Participant or Beneficiary in writing of the amount of benefit to
which he is entitled, the duration of such benefit, the time the benefit is to commence, and other
pertinent information concerning his benefit.



If the Plan Administrator denies a claim for benefit, in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator
shall provide adequate notice in writing to the Participant or Beneficiary whose claim for benefit
has been denied within ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim unless special circumstances
require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time for processing
is required, the Plan Administrator shall furnish written notice to the Participant or Beneficiary
indicating the special circumstances and the date by which a final decision is expected to be
rendered. In no event shall the period of extension exceed one hundred eighty (180) days after
receipt of the claim. The notice of denial of the claim shall set forth (a) the specific reason or
reasons for the denial; (b) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is
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; and (d) a
statement that any appeal of the denial must be made by giving to the Plan Administrator, within
sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice of the denial, written notice of such appeal, such
notice to include a full description of the pertinent issues and basis of the claim. The
Participant or Beneficiary (or his duly authorized representative) may review pertinent documents
and submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator. If the Participant or
Beneficiary fails to appeal such action to the Plan Administrator in writing within the prescribed
period of time, the Plan Administrator’s adverse determination shall be final, binding, and
conclusive. Benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator decides in his
discretion that the applicant is entitled to them.



3.7.2 Appeal (Non-Disability). If the Plan Administrator receives from a Participant
or a Beneficiary, within the prescribed period of time, a notice of an appeal of the denial of a
claim for benefit, such notice and all relevant materials shall immediately be submitted to the
Employer. The Employer may hold a hearing or otherwise ascertain such facts as it deems necessary
and shall render a decision that shall be binding upon both parties.



The Employer’s decision shall be made within sixty (60) days after the Plan Administrator receives
the notice of appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in
which case the Employer shall render a decision as soon as possible but not later than one hundred
twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. If such an extension of time is
required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the
commencement of the extension. The Employer’s decision shall be in writing, shall include specific
reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, as well
as specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, and shall
be promptly furnished to the claimant. Benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the Employer
decides in its discretion that the applicant is entitled to them.



3.7.3 Claims Involving Disability. Any Participant who is entitled to a payment of a
Disability benefit for which provision is made in this Plan shall file a written claim with the
Plan Administrator on such forms as shall be furnished to him by the Plan Administrator and shall
furnish such evidence of entitlement to benefits as the Plan Administrator may require. The Plan
Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing of the approval or denial of the claim within
forty-five (45) days of the date the claim was filed. If the claim is approved, the Plan
Administrator shall furnish a written explanation of the amount of Disability benefit to which the
Participant is entitled, the duration of such benefit, the time the benefit is to commence, and
other pertinent information concerning his benefit.



If the Plan Administrator denies a claim for a Disability benefit, in whole or in part, the Plan
Administrator shall





 









 







provide adequate notice in writing to the Participant whose claim for benefit has been denied
within a reasonable time after the claim is filed but no later than forty-five (45) days after
receipt of the claim unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the
claim. Such an extension shall be for a period no greater than thirty (30) days. If such an
extension of time for processing is required, the Plan Administrator shall furnish written notice
to the Participant within the initial 45-day period indicating the special circumstances and the
date by which a final decision is expected to be rendered. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day
extension period, the Plan Administrator determines that due to matters beyond the control of the
Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the
determination may be extended for up to an additional thirty (30) days, provided that the Plan
Administrator notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period,
of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan Administrator
expects to render a decision. In the case of such an extension the notice of extension shall
specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved
issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those
issues, and the claimant shall be afforded at least forty-five (45) days with which to provide the
specified information. The Participant (or his duly authorized representative) may review pertinent
documents and submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator. If the Participant
fails to appeal such action to the Plan Administrator in writing within the prescribed period of
time, the Plan Administrator’s adverse determination shall be final, binding, and conclusive.
Benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator determines in his sole
discretion that the Participant is entitled to them.



3.7.4 Claims Appeal Involving Disability. If the Plan Administrator receives from a
Participant, within 180 days of the denial of the claim, a notice of an appeal of the denial, such
notice and all relevant materials shall immediately be submitted to the Employer. The Employer may
hold a hearing or otherwise ascertain such facts as it deems necessary and shall render a decision
that shall be binding upon both parties.



The Employer’s decision shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator
receives the notice of appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing, in which case the Employer shall render a decision as soon as possible but not later
than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request for review by the Plan Administrator. If such an
extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant
prior to the commencement of the extension. The Employer’s decision shall be in writing, shall
include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant, as well as specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is
based, and shall be promptly furnished to the claimant. Benefits under this Plan will be paid only
if the Employer determines in his sole discretion that the Participant is entitled to them.





 









 








ARTICLE VIII




AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


3.8.1 Right to Amend.





	(a)	 	The Employer may at any time or times amend the Plan, Trust, and the provisions of
the Adoption Agreement, in whole or in part. The Employer specifically reserves the right to
amend the Plan retroactively. Subject to Subsection (b), an Employer that amends the Plan
shall no longer participate in this Prototype Plan and shall be considered to have an
individually designed plan.
	 
	(b)	 	The Employer may change the choice of options in the Adoption Agreement, add overriding
language in the Adoption Agreement when such language is necessary to satisfy Code sections
415 or 416 because of the required aggregation of multiple plans, and add certain sample or
model amendments published by the Internal Revenue Service or other required good faith
amendments that specifically provide that their adoption shall not cause the Plan to be
treated as individually designed. An Employer that amends the Plan for any other reason,
including a waiver of the minimum funding requirements under Code section 412(d), shall no
longer participate in this Prototype Plan and shall be considered to have an individually
designed plan.




An Employer that has adopted a standardized Prototype Plan may amend the Trust or custodial account
document provided such amendment merely involves the specifications of the names of the Plan,
Employer, Trustee or custodian, Plan Administrator or other Fiduciaries, the Trust Year, or the
name of any pooled trust in which the Plan’s Trust will participate.



An Employer that has adopted a non-standardized Prototype Plan will not be considered to have an
individually designed plan merely because the Employer amends administrative provisions of the
Trust or custodial account document (such as provisions relating to investments and duties of
Trustees) so long as the amended provisions are not in conflict with any other provision of the
Plan and do not cause the Plan to fail to qualify under Code section 401(a).



An Employer may also add or change provisions permitted under the Plan and/or specify or change the
effective date of a provision as permitted under the Plan and correct obvious and unambiguous
typographical errors and/or cross-references that merely correct a reference but that do not in any
way change the original intended meaning of the provisions.



3.8.2 Manner of Amending. The Employer shall make each Plan amendment by delivery to
the Trustee of a copy of the Employer resolution that sets forth such amendment.



3.8.3 Limitations On Amendments.





	(a)	 	No Plan amendment shall:






	 	(1)	 	Directly or indirectly operate to give the Employer any interest whatsoever in
the assets of the Trust or custodial account or to deprive any Participant or Beneficiary
of his vested and nonforfeitable interest in the assets of the Trust as then constituted,
or cause any part of the income or corpus of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to,
purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Employees or their Beneficiaries;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Increase the duties or liabilities of the Trustee without the Trustee’s prior
written consent;




 









 












	 	(3)	 	Change the vesting schedule under the Plan if the nonforfeitable percentage of
the Account balance derived from Employer Contributions (determined as of the later of the
date such amendment is adopted or the date such amendment becomes effective) of any
Participant is less than such nonforfeitable percentage computed without regard to such
amendment; or
	 
	 	(4)	 	Reduce or eliminate the accrued benefit of a Participant within the meaning of
Code section 411(d)(6), except to the extent permitted under Code section 412(c)(8). An
amendment that has the effect of decreasing a Participant’s Account balance with respect
to benefits attributable to service before the amendment shall be treated as reducing an
accrued benefit.






	(b)	 	If a Plan amendment changes the vesting schedule or the Plan is amended in any way that
directly or indirectly affects the computation of the Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage
or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a Top-Heavy vesting
schedule, each Participant who has completed three (3) Years of Vesting Service (or in the
case of Participants who do not have at least one (1) Hour of Service in any Plan Year
beginning after 1988, five (5) or more Years of Vesting Service) may elect within a reasonable
period after the adoption of such amendment to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed
without regard to such amendment or change. The period during which such Participant may make
the election shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made and
shall end on the latest of sixty (60) days after the latest of the date:






	 	(1)	 	The amendment is adopted;
	 
	 	(2)	 	The amendment becomes effective; or
	 
	 	(3)	 	The Employer or Plan Administrator issues the Participant written notice of the
amendment.






	(c)	 	No Plan amendment shall eliminate or restrict an optional form of benefit. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to a Plan amendment that eliminates or restricts the ability of a
Participant to receive payment of his or her Account balance under a particular optional form
of benefit if the amendment provides a single-sum distribution form that is otherwise
identical to the optional form of benefit eliminated or restricted. For purposes of this
condition, a single-sum distribution form is otherwise identical only if it is identical in
all respects to the eliminated or restricted optional form of benefit (or would be identical
except that it provided greater rights to the Participant) except with respect to the timing
of payments after commencement.




3.8.4 Voluntary Termination. The Employer may terminate the Plan at any time by
delivering to the Trustee an instrument in writing that designates such termination. Following
termination of the Plan, the Trust will continue until the entire Distributable Benefit of each
Participant has been distributed.



3.8.5 Involuntary Termination. The Plan shall terminate if: (a) the Employer is
dissolved or adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent in appropriate proceedings, or if a general
assignment is made by the Employer for the benefit of creditors, or (b) the Employer loses its
identity by consolidation or merger into one or more corporations or organizations, unless within
ninety (90) days after such consolidation or merger, such corporations or organizations elect to
continue the Plan.



3.8.6 Withdrawal By Employer. The Employer may withdraw from participation under the
Plan without terminating the Trust upon making a transfer of the Trust assets to another Plan,
which shall be deemed to constitute an amendment in its entirety of the Trust.



3.8.7 Powers Pending Final Distribution. Until final distribution of the assets of the
Trust, the Plan Administrator and Trustee shall continue to have all the powers provided under this
Plan as are necessary for the orderly administration, liquidation, and distribution of the assets
of the Trust.






 









 







3.8.8 Delegation to Sponsor. The Employer expressly delegates authority to the Plan
Sponsor the right to amend any part of the Plan on its behalf to the extent necessary to preserve
the qualified status of the Plan. For purposes of amendments by the Plan Sponsor, the Mass
Submitter shall be recognized as the agent of the Plan Sponsor. If the Plan Sponsor does not adopt
the amendments made by the Mass Submitter, the Plan shall no longer be identical to or a minor
modifier of the Mass Submitter plan. The Plan Sponsor shall submit a copy of the amendment to each
Employer who has adopted the Plan after first having received a ruling or favorable determination
from the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan as amended satisfies the applicable requirements of
the Code. The Employer may revoke the authority of the Plan Sponsor to amend the Plan on its behalf
by written notice to the Plan Sponsor of such revocation.





 









 








ARTICLE IX




PORTABILITY


3.9.1 Continuance by Successor. In the event of the dissolution, consolidation, or merger
of the Employer, or the sale by the Employer of its assets, the resulting successor person or
persons, firm, or corporations may continue this Plan by (a) adopting the Plan by appropriate
resolution; (b) appointing a new Trustee as though the Trustee (including all members of a group of
individuals acting as Trustee) had resigned; and (c) executing a proper agreement with the new
Trustee. In such event, each Participant in this Plan shall have an interest in the Plan after the
dissolution, consolidation, merger, or sale of assets at least equal to the interest that he had in
the Plan immediately before the dissolution, consolidation, merger, or sale of assets. Any
Participants who do not accept a position with such successor within a reasonable time shall be
deemed to be terminated. If, within ninety (90) days from the effective date of such dissolution,
consolidation, merger, or sale of assets, such successor does not adopt this Plan, as provided
herein, the Plan shall automatically be terminated and deemed an involuntary termination.



3.9.2 Merger With Other Plan. In the event of the merger or consolidation with, or
transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other deferred compensation plan and trust, each
Participant shall have an interest in such other plan that is equal to or greater than the interest
that he had in this Plan immediately before such merger, consolidation, or transfer, and if such
other plan thereafter terminates, each Participant shall be entitled to a Distributable Benefit
that is equal to or greater than the Distributable Benefit to which he would have been entitled
immediately before such merger, consolidation, or transfer if this Plan had then been terminated,
as adjusted for any investment gains or losses since such merger, consolidation, or transfer.



3.9.3 Transfers and Rollovers From Other Plans.





	(a)	 	The Employer may cause all or any of the assets held in connection with any other
plan or trust that is maintained by the Employer for the benefit of its Employees and
satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code relating to qualified plans and trusts to be
transferred to the Trustee, whether such transfer is made pursuant to a merger or
consolidation of this Plan with such other plan or trust within the meaning of Code section
414(l) or for any other allowable purpose. Any such assets so transferred to the Trustee shall
be accompanied by written instructions from the Employer, or the trustee, custodian, or
individual holding such assets, setting forth the name of each Employee for whose benefit such
assets have been transferred and showing separately the respective contributions by the
Employer and by the Employee and the current value of the assets attributable thereto.




Upon receipt by the Trustee of such assets, the Trustee shall place such assets in appropriate
Accounts for each Employee. If the transferor plan maintained a vesting schedule that differs from
the schedule maintained under this Plan, the vesting schedule of this Plan shall apply, but
eligible Participants shall have the option to apply the vesting schedule of the transferor plan to
the transferred assets in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 3.8.3(b).





	(b)	 	If assets are transferred to the Plan from a defined benefit pension plan, money purchase
pension plan, target benefit pension plan, stock bonus or profit sharing plan that are subject
to the survivor annuity requirements of Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417, such transferred
assets shall remain subject to such requirements, and this Plan shall provide life annuity
distribution options as provided under the transferor plan. Unless this Plan is also subject
to such survivor annuity requirements, the annuity distribution option shall only apply to
those assets that were transferred and any earnings thereon.




Any such transferred assets and associated earnings shall be distributed to the Participant only
if: (1) he





 









 







terminates employment with the Employer, attains Normal Retirement Age, becomes Disabled, or dies,
(2) the Plan should subsequently terminate, or (3) the Employer spins off the business unit to
which the Participant is a member. To implement the restrictions on distributions this Subsection
imposes, the Plan must maintain separate accounting between the benefits attributable to the
transferred account balances and all other Account balances of each Participant who has Account
balances attributable to such transfers.





	(c)	 	At the direction of the sponsoring Employer, the Trustee shall accept the transfer of
account balances from another plan of Employees that have become Employees of the sponsoring
Employer due to the spin-off of the business unit to which they belong.
	 
	(d)	 	If elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan will accept rollovers of Eligible Rollover
Distributions made after December 31, 2001, from the types of plans specified in the Adoption
Agreement, beginning on the effective date specified in the Adoption Agreement. Such rollover
amounts shall be placed in a Rollover Account for the benefit of the Employee in question.




Unless otherwise provided by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan will accept a
rollover contribution to a Roth Elective Deferral Account only if it is a Direct Rollover from
another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code
section 402A(e)(1) and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section
402(c).



The Plan will not provide for a Direct Rollover (including an automatic rollover) for distributions
from a Participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account if the amount of the distributions that are
Eligible Rollover Distributions are reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. In
addition, any distribution from a Participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account is not taken into
account in determining whether distributions from a Participant’s other accounts are reasonably
expected to total less than $200 during a year. However, Eligible Rollover Distributions from a
participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account are taken into account in determining whether the
total amount of the Participant’s Account balances under the plan exceeds $1,000 for purposes of
mandatory distributions from the Plan.



The provisions of the Plan that allow a Participant to elect a Direct Rollover of only a portion of
an Eligible Rollover Distribution but only if the amount rolled over is at least $500 is applied by
treating any amount distributed from the Participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account as a separate
distribution from any amount distributed from the Participant’s other accounts in the Plan, even if
the amounts are distributed at the same time.



Short Form. The Plan will accept rollovers of Eligible Rollover Distributions made after December
31, 2001 from, a qualified plan described in Code sections 401(a) or 403(a), including after-tax
employee contributions, an annuity contract described in Code sections 403(b), excluding after-tax
employee contributions and an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a
state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political
subdivision of a state



Short Form. The Plan will accept Participant Rollovers of an Eligible Rollover Distribution from a
qualified plan described in Code sections 401(a) or 403(a), excluding after-tax employee
contributions, an annuity contract described in Code sections 403(b), excluding after-tax employee
contributions, an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political
subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a
state and an Individual Retirement Account or Annuity described in Code sections 408(a) or (b) that
is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income. Rollovers are
accepted only after Participant enters Plan.



3.9.4 Transfer to Other Plans. The Trustee, upon written direction by the Employer,
shall transfer some or all of the assets held under the Trust to another plan or trust of the
Employer or any other employer meeting the requirements of the Code relating to qualified plans and
trusts, whether such transfer is made pursuant to a merger or consolidation of this Plan with such
other plan or trust or for any other allowable purpose.



At the direction of the Employer, the Trustee shall spin-off a portion of the Plan assets to a plan
of the buyer of a portion of the assets of the Employer. The amount of the spin-off shall be the
portion of the assets





 









 







representing the Account balances of Participants who are terminated due to the sale. In order to
be a part of the spin-off, a Participant must become employed by the buyer within one year of the
date of sale.



In addition, upon the termination of employment of any Participant and receipt by the Plan
Administrator of a request in writing, the Participant may request that any distribution from the
Trust to which he is entitled shall be transferred to an individual retirement account, an
individual retirement annuity, or any other plan or trust that is maintained by some other employer
for the benefit of its employees and satisfies the applicable Code requirements relating to
qualified plans and trusts. Upon receipt of any such written request, the Plan Administrator shall
cause the Trustee to transfer the assets so directed and, as appropriate, shall direct the Insurer
to transfer to the new trustee any applicable insurance policies issued for the benefit of the
Participant.





 









 








ARTICLE X




INSURANCE


3.10.1 Participants Insurable at Standard Rates. The Trustee, when directed by the Plan
Administrator, and in accordance with the provisions specified in the Adoption Agreement, shall
provide incidental insurance benefits by purchasing for each Participant insurable at standard
rates, either term insurance, universal life insurance, or ordinary life insurance policies.



Short Form. Life insurance may be purchased at the option of the Plan Administrator.



Said Life Insurance Policies shall provide a death benefit, prior to the Normal Retirement Date,
equal to the proceeds of such policies, subject to the following provisions:





	(a)	 	The Trustee may invest any portion or all of the assets of the Trust Fund that are
attributable to a Participant in the purchase of group or individual Life Insurance Policies
issued on the life of the Participant or in the case of a profit sharing plan (including a
401(k) plan), someone in whom the Participant has an insurable interest and for the benefit of
the Participant with the consent of the Participant, subject to the following conditions, as
they are represented by the Plan Administrator:






	 	(1)	 	If “Ordinary Life Insurance Policies” are purchased, the aggregate life insurance
premiums must be less than one-half (1/2) of the aggregate Employer contributions and
Forfeitures allocated to the Participant’s Account at any particular time, without regard
to Trust earnings, capital gains, or losses. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Ordinary
Life Insurance Policies” shall mean policies with both nondecreasing death benefits and
nonincreasing premiums.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The aggregate Premiums paid for Life Insurance Policies that are either term,
universal or any other policies that are not ordinary whole life Policies shall not at any
time exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of Employer Contributions
and Forfeitures that have been allocated to the Accounts of such Participant.
	 
	 	(3)	 	The sum of one-half (1/2) of the aggregate premiums for Ordinary Life Insurance
Policies and all premiums for other Life Insurance Policies shall not at any time exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of Employer Contributions and
Forfeitures that have been allocated to the Accounts of such Participant.
	 
	 	(4)	 	For purposes of this Section, a Participant’s Elective Deferrals are considered
Employer contributions.
	 
	 	(5)	 	The Employer may elect in the Plan’s policy on insurance to set minimum amounts
for the initial amount of insurance purchased as well as for the purchase of additional
amounts. The minimum amount shall be expressed in terms of the face amount of the
insurance and may not be greater than one thousand dollars ($1,000). The Plan’s policy on
insurance may require that insurance must be purchased in multiples not to exceed one
thousand dollars ($1,000).






	(b)	 	If the case of a profit sharing plan (including a 401(k) plan) that permits In Service
distributions to a Participant prior to his Normal Retirement Date in accordance with
Subsection 2.5.12(a) or (b), the amount that may be distributed to the Participant may be used
to purchase Life Insurance Policies without limitation unless otherwise specified in the
Plan’s policy on insurance. Voluntary Employee Contributions and rollovers from other plans
may also be used to purchase Life Insurance Policies without limitation.




 









 










3.10.2 Uninsurable Participants. For each Participant found by an Insurer to be
uninsurable, the Trustee, when requested by the Plan Administrator, shall purchase a retirement
annuity contract on the life of such Participant with a death benefit before Normal Retirement Date
in an amount equal to the cash surrender value of such contract. The Participant must consent to
the purchase of such a retirement annuity contract.



3.10.3 Participants Insurable at Above Standard Rates. If an Insurer finds a
Participant to be uninsurable, except at above standard rates, the Trustee, when requested by the
Plan Administrator, shall pay premiums that do not exceed the percentage of standard rates
specified in the Plan’s policy on insurance. The face value of any insurance policy shall be
limited by the percentage of the aggregate Employer Contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the
Participant’s Account that the Employer dedicated to purchase insurance. The Participant must
consent to the purchase of any insurance policy above standard rates.



3.10.4 Purchase of Policies. No Life Insurance Policy will be purchased under the Plan
unless at the time of purchase it benefits an active Participant and such policy or separate
definite written agreement between the Employer and the Insurer provides that no value or credits
determined by the Insurer (on account of dividends, earnings, or other experience rating credits,
or surrender or cancellation credits) with respect to such policy may be paid or returned to the
Employer or diverted to or used for other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their
Beneficiaries. Any Life Insurance Policy must provide that any proceeds are payable to the Trustee,
subject to the Trustee’s obligation to transfer such proceeds to the Beneficiary. Under no
circumstances shall the Trust retain any part of the proceeds.



If, at any time, a policy described herein shall not be available from or shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable by an Insurer, the Trustee, when directed by the Plan Administrator, shall
purchase a policy or make such other alternative arrangements that, in the opinion of the Plan
Administrator, conform most closely to the descriptions herein. In the event of a conflict between
the terms of the Plan and the terms of any Life Insurance Policy, the Plan provisions shall
control.



3.10.5 Applications for Policies. The Trustee shall be the applicant, owner, and
beneficiary for all Life Insurance Policies required under the terms of the Plan. Any Life
Insurance Policy distributed from the Plan must be nontransferable. The terms of any Life Insurance
Policy purchased and distributed by the Plan to a Participant or spouse shall comply with the
requirements of the Plan. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity or execution of any
Life Insurance Policy, failure of an Insurer to pay proceeds when due, or failure of any policy to
meet requirements or conform to the provisions of the Plan.



3.10.6 Incidents of Ownership. The Trustee shall have the right to receive all sums
payable under the terms of all Life Insurance Policies issued hereunder. The Trustee shall be the
complete and absolute owner of the Life Insurance Policies held in the Trust and of each and every
incident of ownership therein and shall have the power to exercise the rights, options, and
privileges of an absolute owner with respect to the Life Insurance Policies, subject to the
provisions of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have the power to deal with and settle all
claims.



3.10.7 Payment of Premiums. In a Plan Year in which the Employer Contributions are less
than the amount required to sustain insurance premiums, the Plan Administrator shall direct the
Trustee to take one of the following steps with respect to payment of insurance premiums on Life
Insurance Policies:





	(a)	 	Pay premiums due on policies from the Participant’s Account, within the limits of 3.10.1
and 3.10.3 above,
	 
	(b)	 	Pay premiums due on policies from the Participant’s Account using the balance described
in 3.10.1(b) above,
	 
	(c)	 	Surrender any policies for their cash surrender values and add such amount to the
Participant’s Account,
	 
	(d)	 	Convert the cash surrender value of any policies to paid up insurance for which there
will be no further premiums, or
	 
	(e)	 	Offer to sell any policies to the Participant for their cash surrender value for
transfers or distributions made




 









 












	 	 	on or before February 13, 2004. Distributions or transfers of policies after February 13, 2004
sale be valued at Fair Market Value.




3.10.8 Discontinuance of Policies. The Trustee or other Fiduciary responsible for
making investment decisions may discontinue the investment in Life Insurance Policies at any time.
If the Plan provides for Participant-directed investments, life insurance, as an investment option,
may be eliminated at any time by the Plan Administrator. If life insurance investment options are
discontinued, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may offer to sell the policies to the
Participant, or to another person, provided the prohibited transaction exemption requirements of
the Department of Labor are satisfied.



3.10.9 Protection of the Insurer. An Insurer shall not be responsible for the validity
of the Plan or the Trust and shall have no responsibility for action taken or not taken by the
Trustee, for determining the propriety of accepting premium payments or other contributions, for
making payments in accordance with the direction of the Trustee, or for the application of such
payments. The Insurer shall be fully protected in dealing with any representative of the Employer
or any one of a group of individuals acting as Trustee. Until an Insurer receives written notice of
a change of Trustee at its home office, the Insurer shall be fully protected in dealing with any
party acting as Trustee according to the latest information received by the Insurer at its home
office.



3.10.10 No Responsibility for Act of Insurer. Neither the Employer, the Plan
Administrator, nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any of the following, nor shall they be
liable for instituting action in connection with:





	(a)	 	The validity of Life Insurance Policies or policy provisions;
	 
	(b)	 	Failure or refusal by the Insurer to provide benefits under a policy;
	 
	(c)	 	An act by a person that may render a policy invalid or unenforceable; or
	 
	(d)	 	Inability to perform or delay in performing an act, which inability or delay is
occasioned by a provision of a policy or a restriction imposed by the Insurer.




 









 











ARTICLE XI




MISCELLANEOUS


3.11.1 No Reversion to Employer. Except as specifically provided in the Plan, no part of
the corpus or income of the Trust shall revert to the Employer or be used for, or diverted to,
purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries.



3.11.2 Employer Actions. Any action by the Employer pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall be evidenced by appropriate resolution or by written instrument executed by any person
authorized by the Employer to take such action.



3.11.3 Execution of Receipts and Releases. Any payment to any person eligible to
receive benefits under this Plan, in accordance with the provision of the Plan or the Trust, shall,
to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder. The Plan Administrator may
require such person, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release
therefore in such form as it shall determine.



3.11.4 Rights of Participants Limited. Neither the creation of this Plan and the Trust
nor anything contained in this Plan or the Adoption Agreement shall be construed as giving any
Participant, Beneficiary, or Employee any equity or other interest in the assets, business, or
affairs of the Employer, or the right to complain about any action taken by or about any policy
adopted or pursued by the Employer, or as giving any Employee the right to be retained in the
service of the Employer; and all Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as
if the Plan had never been executed. Prior to the time that distributions are made in conformity
with the provisions of the Plan, neither the Participants nor their spouses, Beneficiaries,
heirs-at-law, or legal representatives shall receive or be entitled to receive cash or any other
thing of current exchangeable value from either the Employer or the Trustee as a result of the Plan
or the Trust.



3.11.5 Inalienability. The right of any Participant or his Beneficiary in any
distribution hereunder or to any Account shall not be subject to alienation, assignment, or
transfer, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, except as may be
expressly permitted herein. No Participant shall assign, transfer, or dispose of such right, nor
shall any such right be subjected to attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration, or other
legal, equitable, or other process. The preceding shall also apply to the creation, assignment, or
recognition of a right to any benefit payable with respect to a Participant pursuant to a domestic
relations order, unless such order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or any
domestic relations order entered before January 1, 1985.



The preceding provisions shall not apply to judgments, orders, and decrees issued, and settlement
agreements entered into, on or after August 5, 1997, that offset a Participant’s benefits provided
under this Plan if:





	(a)	 	The order or requirement to pay arises:






	 	(1)	 	Under a judgment of conviction for a crime involving this Plan,
	 
	 	(2)	 	Under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) entered by a court
in an action brought in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of Part 4 of
Subtitle B of Title I of the Act, or
	 
	 	(3)	 	Pursuant to a settlement agreement between the Secretary of Labor and the
Participant, or a settlement agreement between the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
and the Participant, in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of Part 4 of
such subtitle by a Fiduciary or any other person,




 









 












	(b)	 	The judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement expressly provides for the offset of
all or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s
benefits provided under the Plan, and
	 
	(c)	 	In a case in which the survivor annuity requirements of Code section 401(a)(11) apply
with respect to distributions from the Plan to the Participant, if the Participant has a
spouse at the time at which the offset is to be made:






	 	(1)	 	Either such spouse has consented in writing to such offset and such consent is
witnessed by a notary public or representative of the Plan (or it is established to the
satisfaction of a Plan representative that such consent may not be obtained by reason of
circumstances described in Code section 417(a)(2)(B)), or an election to waive the right
of the spouse to either a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or a Qualified
Preretirement Survivor Annuity is in effect in accordance with the requirements of Code
section 417(a),
	 
	 	(2)	 	Such spouse is ordered or required in such judgment, order, decree, or settlement
to pay an amount to the Plan in connection with a violation of Part 4 of such subtitle, or
	 
	 	(3)	 	In such judgment, order, decree, or settlement, such spouse retains the right to
receive the survivor annuity under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or under a
Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, ) where such survivor annuity equals the
survivor annuity determined under the Plan assuming that:






	 	(i)	 	The Participant terminated employment on the date of the offset,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	There was no offset,
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Benefits commence at the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date (or
current age if later),
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity survivor percentage is fifty
percent (50%) (even if another percentage is selected in the definition of Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity), and
	 
	 	(v)	 	The Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity is fifty percent (50%) of
such Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.




In the event a Participant’s benefits are attached by order of any court, the Plan Administrator
may bring an action for a declaratory judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction to determine
the proper recipient of the benefits to be paid by the Plan. During the pendency of the action, the
Plan Administrator shall cause any benefits payable to be paid to the court for distribution by the
court as it considers appropriate.



3.11.6 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. The Plan Administrator shall adhere to the
terms of any judgment, decree, or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement)
that relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights to a
spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant and is made pursuant to a state
domestic relations law (including a community property law) and that creates or recognizes the
existence of an Alternate Payee’s right to, or assigns to an Alternate Payee the right to, receive
all or a portion of the benefits payable with respect to a Participant.



Any such domestic relations order must clearly specify the name and last known mailing address of
the Participant and the name and mailing address of each Alternate Payee covered by the order, the
amount or percentage of the Participant’s benefit to be paid by the Plan to each such Alternate
Payee, or the manner in which such amount or percentage is to be determined, the number of payments
or period to which such order applies, and each plan to which such order applies.



Any such domestic relations order shall not require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit
or any option not otherwise provided under the Plan, to provide increased benefits, or the payment
of benefits to an Alternate Payee that are required to be paid to another Alternate Payee under
another order previously determined to be





 









 







a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Employer may
elect to permit distributions to an Alternate Payee before the Participant has separated from
service, on or after the date on which the Participant attains or would have attained the earliest
retirement age under the Plan, as if the Participant had retired on the date on which such payment
is to begin under such order. For this purpose, the “earliest retirement age” under the Plan means
the earlier of: (a) the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution under the Plan,
or (b) the later of the date the Participant attains age fifty (50), or the earliest date on which
the Participant could begin receiving benefits under the Plan if the Participant separated from
service.



The payment of benefits to an Alternate Payee before the Participant has severed from employment
shall be determined as if the Participant had retired, or otherwise terminated employment, on the
date on which such payment is to begin under the Qualified Domestic Relations Order, (but taking
into account only the benefits actually accrued), and may be paid in any form in which such
benefits may be paid under the Plan to the Participant (other than the form of a Joint and Survivor
Annuity with respect to the Alternate Payee and his subsequent spouse).



If the Employer so elects in the Adoption Agreement, distributions to an Alternate Payee are
permitted while the Participant continues to be employed on or after the date a Domestic Relations
Order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order by the Plan Administrator.



To the extent provided in the Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the former spouse of a
Participant shall be treated as a surviving spouse of such Participant for purposes of Code
sections 401(a)(11) and 417 (and any spouse of the Participant shall not be treated as a spouse of
the Participant for such purposes) and if married for at least one (1) year to the Participant, the
surviving former spouse shall be treated as meeting the requirements of Code section 417(d).



The Plan Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of the
receipt of a domestic relations order by the Plan and the Plan’s procedures for determining the
qualified status of domestic relations orders. Within a reasonable period after receipt of a
domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall determine whether such order is a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order and shall notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such
determination. If the Participant or any affected Alternate Payee disagrees with the determinations
of the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall treat the disagreeing party as a claimant
and follow the claims procedure of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may bring an action for a
declaratory judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction to determine the proper recipient of the
benefits to be paid by the Plan.



During any period in which the issue of whether a domestic relations order is a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order is being determined (by the Plan Administrator, by a court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise), the Plan Administrator shall separately account for the amounts that
would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the order had been determined
to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. If, within the eighteen (18) month period beginning on
the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under the domestic relations
order, the order (or modification thereof) is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order, the Plan Administrator shall pay the segregated amounts, including any interest thereon, to
the person or persons entitled thereto. If within such eighteen (18) month period it is determined
that the order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or the issue whether such order is a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order is not resolved, then the Plan Administrator shall pay the
segregated amounts, including any interest thereon, to the person or persons who would have been
entitled to such amounts if there had been no order. Any determination that an order is a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order that is made after the close of the eighteen (18) month period shall be
applied prospectively only.



Short Form. Distributions to an Alternate Payee are permitted while the Participant continues to be
employed, upon determination by the Plan Administrator that a domestic relations order is a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order, pursuant to Code section 414(p).



3.11.7 Missing Persons. If the Trustee mails by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, to the last known address of a Participant or Beneficiary, a notification that the
Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to a distribution and if (a) the notification is returned by
the post office because the addressee cannot be located at such address and if neither the
Employer, the Plan Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any knowledge of the whereabouts of
such Participant or Beneficiary within three (3) years from the date such notification was mailed,
or (b) within three (3) years after such notification was mailed to such Participant or
Beneficiary, he





 











 





does not respond thereto by informing the Trustee of his whereabouts, the ultimate
disposition of the then undistributed vested Account balance of such Participant or Beneficiary
shall be determined in accordance with the then applicable Federal laws, rules, and regulations.




3.11.8 Notices. Any notice or direction to be given in accordance with the Plan shall
be deemed to have been effectively given if hand delivered to the recipient or sent by certified
mail, return receipt requested, to the recipient at the recipient’s last known address. At any time
that a group of individuals is acting in a Fiduciary capacity, notice to such Fiduciary may be
given by giving notice to any one or more of such individuals.




3.11.9 Governing Law. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed, administered,
and enforced in accordance with the provisions of the Act and, to the extent applicable, the laws
of the state specified in the Adoption Agreement. All contributions to the Trust shall be deemed to
take place in such state.




3.11.10 Severability of Provisions. In the event that any provision of this Plan shall
be held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, said illegality, invalidity, or
unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions, but shall be fully severable, and the
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provisions had
never been inserted herein.




3.11.11 Gender and Number. Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular shall
include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender and vice versa.




3.11.12 Binding Effect. The Plan and Adoption Agreement, and all actions and decisions
hereunder, shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of
any and all parties hereto and Participants, present and future, and their Beneficiaries.

Appendix B

INSURANCE ADDENDUM



Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Employer elects in the Adoption
Agreement to fund the Plan exclusively with Insurance Contracts, the Plan shall be deemed a
“Non-Trusteed Plan”. As such, the following provisions shall apply, and all references to the
Trustee and the Trust Fund shall be construed to apply to the annuity contracts as described in
this Addendum. Any duties of the Trustees, including but not limited to the establishment of a
Participant loan program, that do not expressly apply to the annuity contracts shall apply to the
Plan Administrator.



1. Purchase of Contracts. The benefits provided under this Plan shall be funded
exclusively through the purchase of annuity Contracts issued by an Insurance Company. The
provisions of this Addendum shall apply to any such Contracts which, as determined by the Employer,
will not be held by the Trustee. The Employer shall pay within a reasonable period of time all
contributions that are made to this Plan to the Insurer for the purchase of such Contracts.



2. Employer Designated as Owner Each Contract shall designate the Employer as sole
owner, with rights reserved to said Employer to exercise those rights or options contained therein
that apply to the owner of the Contract. All such Contracts shall be held by the Employer who shall
have the power and right to take such actions with respect to such Contracts as shall be in
accordance with this Plan for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants. The
Employer shall be treated as Trustee to the extent that the Contracts are treated as trusts
pursuant to Code Section 401(f).



3. Type of Contracts(s) The Employer shall have the right to determine whether to have
fixed of a combination of fixed and variable Contracts and whether to have group or individual
Contracts. The Employer shall base its decision on which Contract(s) would be more beneficial for
the Participants and on the administrative tasks imposed by each Contract. Such decision shall be
in the sole discretion of the Employer.



4. Voting Rights The Employer shall solicit and act in accordance with the instructions
of the Participant in regard to any voting rights that pertain to a Contract for a variable
accumulation of benefits. During the accumulation period, Participants will have the right to
instruct the Employer with respect to the votes attributable to any Vested interest they have in
the Contract. All other votes entitled to be cast during the accumulation period may be cast by the
Employer in its sole discretion. During the annuity period, every Participant will have the right
to instruct the Employer with respect to all votes attributable to the amount of assets established
in the appropriate separate account to meet the annuity obligations related to such Participant.
The Insurer will provide all notices and proxy materials to the Employer for distribution to the
Participants. The Employer may cast all votes for which instruction were not received in accordance
with the Employer’s sole discretion.



5. Certificate of Participant The Insurer shall issue a certificate of participant
and/or a Contract, as applicable, to each Participant. Each such certificate of participation shall
set forth in substance the benefits or other rights to which such Participant is entitled under the
Contract.



6. Insurer Indemnification The Employer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Insurer against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities the Insurer may incur
in the exercise and performance of the Insurer’s duties hereunder, unless the same are determined
to be due to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Insurer.

DATAIR

2009 Waiver of Required Minimum Distribution Amendment

for Defined Contribution Plans




Section 1. General Rules



1.1. Adoption and Effective Date. The purpose of this Amendment is to provide for the waiver
of the 2009 required minimum distribution; for a Participant’s election to request the payment of
the required minimum distribution from the Plan; and to provide that when paid under this election,
the required minimum distribution will be treated as an Eligible Rollover Distribution. This
Amendment is effective for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2009. All provisions in this
Amendment are limited to the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year.



1.2. Precedence. The requirements of this Amendment will take precedence over any inconsistent
provisions of the Plan, including any previous amendments adopted by the Employer. Where
appropriate, the term “Plan” shall mean the Plan and Trust.



1.3. Requirement of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. This Amendment incorporates changes to
sections 401(a)(9), Required Minimum Distributions and 402(c)(4), Eligible Rollover Distributions,
of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”); as outlined in the Worker, Retiree, and Employer
Recovery Act of 2008 (WRERA) into the Plan.




Section 2. Required Minimum Distributions



2.1. Provisions. Sections 2.2.5, 2.2.6, and 2.5.4 of the Plan are amended pursuant to
section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code to provide for the waiver of the required minimum distributions
for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year.





	 	(a)	 	The Plan will suspend all required minimum distributions attributable to the 2009
Distribution Calendar Year. These required minimum distributions will not be distributed
from the Plan unless a Participant submits a written request electing to receive a
distribution for 2009.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Required Beginning Date for any Participant who attains age 70 1/2 in 2009 will
be postponed from April 1, 2010 until December 31, 2010. The Plan will not be required to
make a distribution under this provision until December 31, 2010 unless a Participant
submits a written request electing to receive a distribution for 2009.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The required minimum distribution payable during the lifetime of a Participant or
after the death of a Participant to their Designated Beneficiary that is attributable to
the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year shall not be distributed unless a Participant or the
Designated Beneficiary submits a written request electing to receive a distribution for
2009.




2.2. Individual Election. A Participant or a Designated Beneficiary may request that the Plan make
a required minimum distribution for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year by completing an individual
election form. When made this distribution will be treated as an Eligible Rollover Distribution
from the Plan.





	 	(a)	 	Where a required minimum distribution is payable and the five year rule applies
with respect to a deceased Participant’s account, then the required minimum distribution
for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year will be disregarded in the calculation of the five
year period; resulting in a one year extension of this rule.




 









 











Section 3. Asset Rollovers and Transfers — Required Minimum Distributions



3.1. Provision. Section 2.5.4(h) and the definition of Eligible Rollover Distribution are
amended pursuant to section 402(c)(4) of the Code to provide that the required minimum distribution
for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year be treated as an Eligible Rollover Distribution.





	 	(a)	 	If the Participant requests a rollover of all or a portion of his benefit to
another qualified plan during 2009, any amounts that would otherwise be treated as a
required minimum distribution for the 2009 Distribution Calendar Year shall be treated as
an Eligible Rollover Distribution. The Plan will permit such amounts to be directly
rolled into another qualified plan.

Under the provisions of Treasury Regulations section 1.401(a)-1(b)(2), a plan’s NRA cannot be
earlier than what is reasonably representative of the typical retirement age for the industry in
which the Participants work. An NRA of 62 or older is deemed to satisfy this requirement. An NRA
under 55 is presumed not to satisfy this requirement unless the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
determines that the facts and circumstances show otherwise. Whether an NRA between 55 and 62
satisfies this requirement depends on facts and circumstances.



2.2 Discontinuing or Reduction of Accruals.





	(a)	 	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the discontinuance or
reduction of the accrual of benefits upon the Participant’s attainment of any specified age
(including NRA) is not permitted effective May 22, 2007.
	 
	(b)	 	Protection of Accrued Benefits






	 	(1)	 	General rule. Under section 411(d)(6)(A) of the Code, the Plan will not be a
qualified plan (and a trust forming a part of such plan is not a qualified trust) if a
Plan amendment decreases the Accrued Benefit of any plan Participant, except as provided
in section 412(c)(8) of the Code, section 4281 of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 as amended (ERISA), or other applicable law (see, for example, sections 418D
and 418E of the Internal Revenue Code, and section 1541(a)(2) of the Taxpayer Relief Act
of 1997, Public Law 105-34 (111 Stat. 788, 1085)). For purposes of this Section, a Plan
amendment includes any changes to the terms of the Plan, including changes resulting from
a merger, consolidation, or transfer (as defined in section 414(l) of the Code) or a plan




 









 






	 	 	 	termination. The protection of section 411(d)(6) of the Code applies to a Participant’s
entire Accrued Benefit under the Plan as of the applicable amendment date, without regard
to whether the entire Accrued Benefit was accrued before a Participant’s Severance from
Employment or whether any portion was the result of an increase in the Accrued Benefit of
the Participant pursuant to a Plan amendment adopted after the Participant’s Severance
from Employment.






	 	(2)	 	Plan provisions taken into account.






	 	(i)	 	Direct or indirect reduction in Accrued Benefit. For purposes of
determining whether a Participant’s Accrued Benefit is decreased, all of the
amendments to the provisions of the Plan affecting, directly or indirectly, the
computation of Accrued Benefits are taken into account. Plan provisions indirectly
affecting the computation of Accrued Benefits include, for example, provisions
relating to Years of Service and compensation.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Amendments effective with the same applicable amendment date. In
determining whether a reduction in a Participant’s Accrued Benefit has occurred, all
Plan amendments with the same applicable amendment date are treated as one amendment.
Thus, if two amendments have the same applicable amendment date and one amendment,
standing alone, increases Participants’ Accrued Benefits and the other amendment,
standing alone, decreases Participants’ Accrued Benefits, the amendments are treated
as one amendment and will only violate section 411(d)(6) of the Code if, for any
Participant, the net effect is to decrease Participants’ Accrued Benefit as of that
applicable amendment date.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Multiple amendments.






	 	(A)	 	General rule. A Plan amendment violates the requirements of
section 411(d)(6) of the Code if it is one of a series of Plan amendments that,
when taken together, have the effect of reducing or eliminating a section
411(d)(6) of the Code protected benefit in a manner that would be prohibited by
section 411(d)(6) of the Code if accomplished through a single amendment.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Determination of the time period for combining Plan amendments.
For purposes of applying the rule in Paragraph (2)(ii)(A) of this Section,
generally only Plan amendments adopted within a 3-year period are taken into
account.






	 	(3)	 	Application of section 411(a) nonforfeitability provisions with respect to
section 411(d)(6) of the Code protected benefits.






	 	(i)	 	In General. The rules of this Section 2.2(b) apply to a Plan amendment
that decreases a Participant’s Accrued Benefit, or otherwise places greater
restrictions or conditions on a Participant’s rights to section 411(d)(6) of the Code
protected benefits, even if the amendment merely adds a restriction or condition that
is permitted under the vesting rules in section 411(a)(3) through (11) of the Code.
However, such an amendment does not violate section 411(d)(6) of the Code to the
extent it applies with respect to benefits that accrue after the applicable amendment
date. See section 411(a)(10) and Section 1.411(a)-8 of the Code for additional rules
relating to changes in the Plan’s vesting schedule.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Exception for changes in the Plan’s vesting computation period, a Plan
amendment that satisfies the applicable requirements under 29 CFR 2530.203-2(c)
(rules relating to vesting computation periods) does not fail to satisfy the
requirements of section 411(d)(6) of the Code merely because the Plan amendment
changes the Plan’s vesting computation period.




2.3 Break in Service. In the case of a Participant who has had a Severance from
Employment with the Employer and who is subsequently rehired, the period of the Participant’s high
3 Years of Service is calculated





 









 







by excluding all years for which the Participant performs no services for and receives no
compensation from the Employer (referred to as the break period), and by treating the Year of
Service immediately prior to and the Year of Service immediately after the break period as if such
Years of Service were consecutive.



3. Vesting.



3.1 Amendment of Vesting Schedule. If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended or the Plan is
amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of a Participant’s
nonforfeitable percentage, or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a
Top-Heavy vesting schedule, in the case of an Employee who is a Participant as of the later of the
date such amendment or change is adopted or the date it becomes effective, the nonforfeitable
percentage (determined as of such date) of such Employee’s Employer-provided Accrued Benefit will
not be less than the percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment or change.



3.2 Participant Elections. Furthermore, each Participant with at least 3 Years of
Service with the Employer may elect within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment
or change, to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such
amendment or change. For Participants who do not have at least one Hour of Service in any Plan Year
beginning after December 31, 1988, the preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting “5 years
of service” for “3 Years of Service” where such language appears. The period during which the
election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made and
shall end on the latest of:





	(a)	 	60 days after the amendment is adopted;
	 
	(b)	 	60 days after the amendment becomes effective; or
	 
	(c)	 	60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Employer
or Plan Administrator.




With respect to benefits accrued as of the later of the adoption or effective date of the
amendment, the vested percentage of each Participant will be the greater of the vested percentage
under the old vesting schedule or the vested percentage under the new vesting schedule.




Section 4. Compensation



4.1 Limitation on Compensation. The definition of Compensation used in applying the
limitations of section 415 of the Code shall not reflect compensation for a year that is in excess
of the limitation of section 401(a)(17) of the Code that applies to that year.



4.2 Limitation on Compensation in Prior Years. The Plan will not be treated as failing
to satisfy Section 4.1 merely because, under provisions of the Plan adopted and in effect before
April 5, 2007, the Plan’s definition of Compensation used for purposes of the limitations of
section 415(c) of the Code reflects compensation for a year in excess of the limitation of section
401(a)(17) of the Code that applies to that year.



4.3 Section 415 Compensation.





	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3 and the Adoption Section, in order
to be taken into account for a Limitation Year, compensation within the meaning of section
415(c)(3) of the Code must be actually paid or made available to an Employee (or, if earlier,
includible in the gross income of the Employee) within the Limitation Year. For this purpose,
compensation is treated as paid on a date if it is actually paid on that date or it would have
been paid on that date but for an election under Section 401(k), 403(b), 408(k),
408(p)(2)(A)(i), 457(b), 132(f), or 125 of the Code. This Section shall be effective for
Limitation Years commencing on or after July 1, 2007 unless elected otherwise in the Adoption
Section.




 









 












	(b)	 	Payment prior to Severance from Employment. In order to be taken into account for a
Limitation Year, compensation within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code must be paid
or treated as paid to the Employee (in accordance with the rules of Section 4.3(a) of this
Amendment) prior to Severance from Employment (within the meaning of section
401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Code) with the Employer maintaining the Plan.
	 
	(c)	 	Certain de minimis timing differences. Notwithstanding the provisions of 4.3(a) of this
Amendment, unless elected otherwise in the Adoption Section compensation for a Limitation Year
includes amounts earned during that Limitation Year but not paid during that Limitation Year
solely because of the timing of pay periods and pay dates if:






	 	(1)	 	These amounts are paid during the first few weeks of the next Limitation Year;
	 
	 	(2)	 	The amounts are included on a uniform and consistent basis with respect to all
similarly situated Employees; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	No compensation is included in more than one Limitation Year.






	(d)	 	Compensation paid after severance from employment.






	 	(1)	 	In general, any compensation described in Paragraph (d)(2) of this Section does
not fail to be compensation (within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code) pursuant
to the rule of Paragraph 4.3(a) of this Section merely because it is paid after the
Employee’s severance from employment with the Employer, provided the compensation is paid
by the later of 2-1/2 months after severance from employment with the Employer or the end
of the Limitation Year that includes the date of severance from employment with the
Employer. In addition, the Plan may provide that amounts described in Paragraph (d)(3) of
this Section are included in compensation (within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the
Code) if:






	 	(A)	 	Those amounts are paid by the later of 2-1/2 months after severance
from employment with the Employer or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the
date of severance from employment with the Employer; and
	 
	 	(B)	 	Those amounts would have been included in the definition of
Compensation if they were paid prior to the Employee’s severance from employment with
the Employer.






	 	(2)	 	Regular pay after severance from employment. An amount is described in this
paragraph (d)(2) if:






	 	(A)	 	The payment is regular compensation for services during the Employee’s
regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Employee’s regular
working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or
other similar payments; and
	 
	 	(B)	 	The payment would have been paid to the Employee prior to a severance
from employment if the Employee had continued in employment with the Employer.






	 	(3)	 	Leave cashouts and deferred compensation. An amount is described in this
Paragraph (d)(3) if the amount is either:






	 	(A)	 	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; or




 









 












	 	(B)	 	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 with the Employer and only
to the extent that the payment is includible in the Employee’s gross income.






	 	(4)	 	Other post-severance payments. Any payment that is not described in Paragraph
(d)(2) or (3) of this Section is not considered compensation under Paragraph (d)(1) of
this Section if paid after severance from employment with the Employer, even if it is paid
within the time period described in Paragraph (d)(1) of this Section. Thus, compensation
does not include severance pay, or parachute payments within the meaning of section
280G(b)(2) of the Code, if they are paid after severance from employment with the
Employer, and does not include post-severance payments under a nonqualified unfunded
deferred compensation plan unless the payments would have been paid at that time without
regard to the severance from employment.






	(e)	 	The Employer may elect in the Adoption Section to include salary continuation payments
for military service and Disabled Participants. The rule of Paragraph 4.3(b) does not apply to
payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason
of Qualified Military Service (as that term is used in the Plan) to the extent those 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, but only
if the Plan so provides. In addition, the rule of Paragraph 4.3(b) does not apply to
compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally Disabled (as defined in
section 22(e)(3) of the Code) if either the Participant is not a Highly Compensated Employee
(as defined in the Plan) immediately before becoming Disabled, or the Plan provides for the
continuation of Compensation on behalf of all Participants who are permanently and totally
Disabled for a fixed or determinable period, but only if the plan so provides.






	 	(i)	 	Compensation shall include amounts that are includible in the gross income of an
Employee under the rules of section 409A or section 457(f)(1)(A) of the Code or because
the amounts are constructively received by the Employee.




Section 5. Excess Annual Additions. The final income tax regulations relating to
section 415 of the Code that were made effective July 1, 2007 do not contain the correction methods
for Excess Annual Additions that were in section 1.415-6(b)(6) of the 1981 Income Tax Regulations.
If the Plan is eligible for self-correction under Rev. Proc. 2006-27, 2006-22 I.R.B. 945, it may be
able to implement corrections using these methods.



Section 6. Restorative Payments. Restorative payments allocated to a Participant’s
Account, which include payments made to restore losses to the Plan resulting from actions (or a
failure to act) by a Fiduciary for which there is a reasonable risk of liability under Title I of
ERISA or under other applicable federal or state law, where similarly situated Participants are
similarly treated, do not give rise to an Annual Addition for any Limitation Year.



Section 7. Reversion Upon Termination. Notwithstanding any Plan provision or section
1.401(a)-2 of the Income Tax Regulations, upon termination of the Plan, amounts contributed to the
Plan that exceed the limitations imposed under section 415(c) of the Code, to the extent set forth
in rules prescribed by the Commissioner shall revert to the Employer.





 









 








DATAIR Mass Submitter Prototype

Plan Amendment For Defined Contribution Plans




2010 Core Amendment for Final IRC Section 401(a)(35) Regulations



Section 1. General Rules



1.1. Purpose and Adoption. This good faith Amendment adopts the final regulations under
Section 401(a)(35) of the Internal Revenue Code that gives certain individuals the right to divest
Employer Securities allocated to their account. For this purpose, DATAIR Employee Benefit Systems,
Inc. as the “Mass Submitter” hereby adopts this Amendment on behalf of all adopting Employers of
the DATAIR Mass Submitter Prototype Defined Contribution Plan as adopted by all Word for Word
Sponsors.



1.2. Precedence. The requirements of this Amendment will take precedence over any inconsistent
provisions of the Plan including any previous amendments adopted by the Employer. Where
appropriate, the term “Plan” shall mean the Plan and Trust.



1.3. Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All matters addressed under this
Amendment will be determined and made in accordance with section 401(a)(35) of the Internal Revenue
Code (“Code”) and section 1.401(a)(35)-1 of the Treasury Regulations. Code section 401(a)(35) was
generally effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2006.



1.4. Effective Date. This Amendment is effective for the Plan Year beginning on or after January
1, 2011, unless otherwise stated by the Regulations.




Section 2 Diversification Requirements For Plans That Hold Employer Securities.



2.1. General. If the Plan includes Employer Securities as an investment option, the Plan
Administrator shall provide Applicable Individuals with the right to divest the Employer Securities
in their accounts and reinvest those amounts in other investment options offered by the Plan.





	(a)	 	Elective Deferrals and Employee Contributions. For the portion of an Applicable
Individual’s accounts attributable to employee contributions, rollover contributions, and
Elective Deferrals invested in Employer Securities, the Plan shall provide the Applicable
Individual with the right to direct the Plan to divest any such securities and to reinvest an
equivalent amount in other investment options meeting the requirements of Paragraph (c).




An Applicable Individual who may exercise the divestiture rights with respect to Elective
Deferrals, employee contributions and rollover accounts under the Plan is:





	 	(i)	 	a Participant in the Plan;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an Alternate Payee who has an account under the Plan; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant.






	(b)	 	Employer Contributions. For the portion of an Applicable Individual’s accounts
attributable to Employer Contributions other than Elective Deferrals invested in Employer
Securities, an Applicable Individual may elect to direct the plan to divest any such
securities and to reinvest an equivalent amount in other investment options meeting the
requirements of Paragraph (c).




 









 










An Applicable Individual who may exercise the divestiture rights with respect to Employer
Contributions other than Elective Deferrals under the Plan is:





	 	(i)	 	a Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an Alternate Payee who has an account under the Plan with respect to a
Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant.




A Participant shall complete three (3) Years of Service upon completion of three (3) Years of
Vesting Service. However, if the Plan uses the Elapsed Time Method of crediting service for
vesting purposes, or the Plan provides for immediate vesting, a Participant shall complete three
(3)Years of Service on the day immediately preceding the third anniversary of the Participant’s
date of hire.



In accordance with the notice requirements in Section 4 of this Amendment, the Plan must explain
the diversification rights as they apply to each Applicable Individual.





	(c)	 	Investment options. The Plan shall offer not less than three (3) investment options,
other than Employer Securities, to which an Applicable Individual may direct the proceeds from
the divestment of Employer Securities. Each investment option must have materially different
risk and return characteristics. The Plan shall permit an Applicable Individual to divest
their Employer Securities and reinvest the proceeds at least quarterly.






	 	(1)	 	The Plan shall not meet the requirements of this Section if the Plan imposes any
direct or indirect restrictions or conditions on the investment of Employer Securities
that do not apply to other investment options under the Plan. However, the Plan is
permitted:






	 	(i)	 	to impose restrictions or conditions on the divestiture of Employer
Securities as may be required under applicable securities laws.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to freeze or discontinue the Employer Securities as an investment
option under the Plan. The Plan may prohibit further investment in the Employer
Securities or limit the reinvestment into the Employer Securities after a divestiture
election.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	to limit the timing or number of investment election made for Employer
Securities.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	to prohibit an Applicable Individual from investing more than ten
percent (10%) of their account in Employer Securities.
	 
	 	(v)	 	to provide that an individual may not reinvest divested amounts in the
same Employer Securities account. It may permit an individual to invest such divested
amounts in another Employer Securities account, where the only relevant difference
between the separate accounts is the Code section 402(e)(4) cost (or other basis) of
the Trust in the shares held in each account.






	 	(2)	 	Notwithstanding, if a Plan’s investment options includes a stable value fund or a
Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA), then the Plan may permit transfers into
and out of the stable value fund or similar fund more frequently than permitted for funds
invested in Employer Securities.




2.2 Applicability. The provisions of this Amendment shall apply if the Plan meets the requirement
for an “Applicable Defined Contribution Plan”.





	(a)	 	Applicable Defined Contribution Plan. An “Applicable Defined Contribution Plan” is a
defined contribution plan holding any class of “Publicly Traded” Employer Securities.




 









 












	 	(1)	 	Securities are publicly traded if they are readily tradable on an established
securities market that is either:






	 	(i)	 	a national securities exchange registered under section 6 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	a foreign national exchange that is officially recognized, sanctioned
or supervised by a governmental authority and deemed by the Security Exchange
Commission as having a “ready market.”






	 	 	 	A defined contribution plan can delay their “Applicable Defined Contribution Plan” status for
up to 90 days after any class of publically traded Employer Securities are initially held under
the Plan or upon the Employer Security held in the Plan becoming a publically traded security.






	 	(2)	 	The Applicable Defined Contribution status does not include a “one-participant
retirement plan.” The term “one-participant retirement plan” means a retirement plan that
on the first day of the Plan Year:






	 	(i)	 	covers only one individual (or the individual and the individual’s
spouse) and the individual (or the individual and the individual’s spouse) owned 100
percent of the plan sponsor (whether or not incorporated), or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	covers only one or more partners (or partners and their spouses) in the
plan sponsor. The term “partner” includes a two percent (2%) shareholder (as defined
in Code section 1372(b)) of an S Corporation.






	 	(3)	 	In the case of a Plan holding Employer Securities that are not Publicly Traded
Employer Securities, the Plan shall be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer
Securities if any Employer corporation, or any member of a Controlled Group of
Corporations which includes such Employer corporation, has issued a class of stock that is
a Publicly Traded Employer Security.






	(c)	 	Exemption. Certain plans shall not be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer
Securities.






	 	(1)	 	The Plan shall not be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer Securities if:






	 	(i)	 	no Employer Corporation or Parent Corporation of an Employer
Corporation has issued any publicly traded Employer Security, and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	no Employer Corporation or Parent Corporation of an Employer
Corporation has issued any special class of stock that grants particular rights to,
or bears particular risks for the holder or issuer with respect to any corporation
described in Subparagraph (i) that has issued any Publicly Traded Employer Security.






	 	(2)	 	The Plan shall not be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer Securities if
the securities are held indirectly as a part of a broader fund:






	 	(i)	 	that is maintained by a regulated investment company, insurance
company, bank or trust company, or is supervised by a State or Federal agency, as a
common or collective trust fund or a pooled investment fund;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	that has a stated investment objective;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	that is held indirectly through and independently of the Employer; and




 









 












	 	(iv)	 	where the value of the employer securities invested in the fund does
not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total value of all of the fund’s investment for
the prior plan year.




2.3. Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment:





	(1)	 	“Controlled Group of Corporations” has the meaning given such term by Code section
1563(a), except that fifty percent (50%) shall be substituted for eighty percent (80%) each
place it appears.
	 
	(2)	 	“Employer Corporation” means a corporate entity formed by the Employer maintaining the
Plan.
	 
	(3)	 	“Parent Corporation” has the meaning given such term by Code section 424(e).
	 
	(4)	 	“Employer Security” has the meaning given by Code section 407(d)(1) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.





Section 3. Transition Rule for Employer Securities.



For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2011, an Applicable Defined Contribution Plan may
rely on the proposed regulations for section 401(a)(35) as added by the Pension Protection Act of
2006 or the transitional guidance and relief outlined in Notice 2006-107.





	(a)	 	Rules phased in over 3 years.






	 	(i)	 	For Employer Contribution accounts, other than an Elective Deferral account,
consisting of Employer Securities acquired in a Plan Year beginning before January 1,
2007, Section 2.1(b) shall only apply to the Applicable Percentage of such securities.
This subparagraph applies separately with respect to each class of securities.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Applicable Percentage. For purposes of Subparagraph (i), the Applicable
Percentage shall be determined as follows:





	 	 	 	 	 
	Plan year to which	 	 
	Section 2.1(b) applies	 	The Applicable Percentage is
	First Year
	 	 	33	%
	Second Year
	 	 	66	%
	Third and following Years
	 	 	100	%







	(b)	 	Exception for certain Participants aged 55 or over. The Transition Rules of Subparagraph
(i) shall not apply to a Participant who has attained age 55 and completed at least three (3)
Years of Service before the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2005.





Section 4. Notice Requirements.



Pursuant to the requirements in section 101(m) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA), the Plan Administrator must distribute a notice to each Applicable Individual no later
than 30 days before the first date on which an individual is eligible to exercise their rights
under the diversification requirements outlined in this Amendment. The notices must describe the
importance of diversifying investment held in their retirement accounts and explain the
diversification rights that apply to each Applicable Individual and for each class of Employer
Security held in the Plan.

Section 2 Diversification Requirements For Plans That Hold Employer Securities.



2.1. General. If the Plan includes Employer Securities as an investment option, the Plan
Administrator shall provide Applicable Individuals with the right to divest the Employer Securities
in their accounts and reinvest those amounts in other investment options offered by the Plan.





	(a)	 	Elective Deferrals and Employee Contributions. For the portion of an Applicable
Individual’s accounts attributable to employee contributions, rollover contributions, and
Elective Deferrals invested in Employer Securities, the Plan shall provide the Applicable
Individual with the right to direct the Plan to divest any such securities and to reinvest an
equivalent amount in other investment options meeting the requirements of Paragraph (c).




An Applicable Individual who may exercise the divestiture rights with respect to Elective
Deferrals, employee contributions and rollover accounts under the Plan is:





	 	(i)	 	a Participant in the Plan;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an Alternate Payee who has an account under the Plan; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant.






	(b)	 	Employer Contributions. For the portion of an Applicable Individual’s accounts
attributable to Employer




 









 






	 	 	Contributions other than Elective Deferrals invested in Employer
Securities, an Applicable Individual may elect to direct the plan to divest any such
securities and to reinvest an equivalent amount in other investment options meeting the requirements of Paragraph (c).




An Applicable Individual who may exercise the divestiture rights with respect to Employer
Contributions other than Elective Deferrals under the Plan is:





	 	(i)	 	a Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an Alternate Payee who has an account under the Plan with respect to a
Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant.




A Participant shall complete three (3) Years of Service upon completion of three (3) Years of
Vesting Service. However, if the Plan uses the Elapsed Time Method of crediting service for
vesting purposes, or the Plan provides for immediate vesting, a Participant shall complete three
(3)Years of Service on the day immediately preceding the third anniversary of the Participant’s
date of hire.



In accordance with the notice requirements in Section 4 of this Amendment, the Plan must explain
the diversification rights as they apply to each Applicable Individual.





	(c)	 	Investment options. The Plan shall offer not less than three (3) investment options,
other than Employer Securities, to which an Applicable Individual may direct the proceeds from
the divestment of Employer Securities. Each investment option must have materially different
risk and return characteristics. The Plan shall permit an Applicable Individual to divest
their Employer Securities and reinvest the proceeds at least quarterly.






	 	(1)	 	The Plan shall not meet the requirements of this Section if the Plan imposes any
direct or indirect restrictions or conditions on the investment of Employer Securities
that do not apply to other investment options under the Plan. However, the Plan is
permitted:






	 	(i)	 	to impose restrictions or conditions on the divestiture of Employer
Securities as may be required under applicable securities laws.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to freeze or discontinue the Employer Securities as an investment
option under the Plan. The Plan may prohibit further investment in the Employer
Securities or limit the reinvestment into the Employer Securities after a divestiture
election.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	to limit the timing or number of investment election made for Employer
Securities.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	to prohibit an Applicable Individual from investing more than ten
percent (10%) of their account in Employer Securities.
	 
	 	(v)	 	to provide that an individual may not reinvest divested amounts in the
same Employer Securities account. It may permit an individual to invest such divested
amounts in another Employer Securities account, where the only relevant difference
between the separate accounts is the Code section 402(e)(4) cost (or other basis) of
the Trust in the shares held in each account.






	 	(2)	 	Notwithstanding, if a Plan’s investment options includes a stable value fund or a
Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA), then the Plan may permit transfers into
and out of the stable value fund or similar fund more frequently than permitted for funds
invested in Employer Securities.




2.2 Applicability. The provisions of this Amendment shall apply if the Plan meets the requirement
for an “Applicable Defined Contribution Plan”.




 









 









	(a)	 	Applicable Defined Contribution Plan. An “Applicable Defined Contribution Plan” is a
defined contribution plan holding any class of “Publicly Traded” Employer Securities.






	 	(1)	 	Securities are publicly traded if they are readily tradable on an established
securities market that is either:






	 	(i)	 	a national securities exchange registered under section 6 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	a foreign national exchange that is officially recognized, sanctioned
or supervised by a governmental authority and deemed by the Security Exchange
Commission as having a “ready market.”






	 	 	 	A defined contribution plan can delay their “Applicable Defined Contribution Plan” status for
up to 90 days after any class of publically traded Employer Securities are initially held under
the Plan or upon the Employer Security held in the Plan becoming a publically traded security.






	 	(2)	 	The Applicable Defined Contribution status does not include a “one-participant
retirement plan.” The term “one-participant retirement plan” means a retirement plan that
on the first day of the Plan Year:






	 	(i)	 	covers only one individual (or the individual and the individual’s
spouse) and the individual (or the individual and the individual’s spouse) owned 100
percent of the plan sponsor (whether or not incorporated), or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	covers only one or more partners (or partners and their spouses) in the
plan sponsor. The term “partner” includes a two percent (2%) shareholder (as defined
in Code section 1372(b)) of an S Corporation.






	 	(3)	 	In the case of a Plan holding Employer Securities that are not Publicly Traded
Employer Securities, the Plan shall be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer
Securities if any Employer corporation, or any member of a Controlled Group of
Corporations which includes such Employer corporation, has issued a class of stock that is
a Publicly Traded Employer Security.






	(c)	 	Exemption. Certain plans shall not be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer
Securities.






	 	(1)	 	The Plan shall not be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer Securities if:






	 	(i)	 	no Employer Corporation or Parent Corporation of an Employer
Corporation has issued any publicly traded Employer Security, and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	no Employer Corporation or Parent Corporation of an Employer
Corporation has issued any special class of stock that grants particular rights to,
or bears particular risks for the holder or issuer with respect to any corporation
described in Subparagraph (i) that has issued any Publicly Traded Employer Security.






	 	(2)	 	The Plan shall not be treated as holding Publicly Traded Employer Securities if
the securities are held indirectly as a part of a broader fund:






	 	(i)	 	that is maintained by a regulated investment company, insurance
company, bank or trust




 









 












	 	 	 	company, or is supervised by a State or Federal agency, as a common or collective trust fund or a pooled investment fund;






	 	(ii)	 	that has a stated investment objective;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	that is held indirectly through and independently of the Employer; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	where the value of the employer securities invested in the fund does
not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total value of all of the fund’s investment for
the prior plan year.




2.3. Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment:





	(1)	 	“Controlled Group of Corporations” has the meaning given such term by Code section
1563(a), except that fifty percent (50%) shall be substituted for eighty percent (80%) each
place it appears.
	 
	(2)	 	“Employer Corporation” means a corporate entity formed by the Employer maintaining the
Plan.
	 
	(3)	 	“Parent Corporation” has the meaning given such term by Code section 424(e).
	 
	(4)	 	“Employer Security” has the meaning given by Code section 407(d)(1) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.





Section 3. Transition Rule for Employer Securities.



For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2011, an Applicable Defined Contribution Plan may
rely on the proposed regulations for section 401(a)(35) as added by the Pension Protection Act of
2006 or the transitional guidance and relief outlined in Notice 2006-107.





	(a)	 	Rules phased in over 3 years.






	 	(i)	 	For Employer Contribution accounts, other than an Elective Deferral account,
consisting of Employer Securities acquired in a Plan Year beginning before January 1,
2007, Section 2.1(b) shall only apply to the Applicable Percentage of such securities.
This subparagraph applies separately with respect to each class of securities.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Applicable Percentage. For purposes of Subparagraph (i), the Applicable
Percentage shall be determined as follows:





	 	 	 	 	 
	Plan year to which	 	 
	Section 2.1(b) applies	 	The Applicable Percentage is
	First Year
	 	 	33	%
	Second Year
	 	 	66	%
	Third and following Years
	 	 	100	%







	(b)	 	Exception for certain Participants aged 55 or over. The Transition Rules of Subparagraph
(i) shall not apply to a Participant who has attained age 55 and completed at least three (3)
Years of Service before the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2005.





Section 4. Notice Requirements.



Pursuant to the requirements in section 101(m) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA), the Plan Administrator must distribute a notice to each Applicable Individual no later
than 30 days before the first date on which an individual is eligible to exercise their rights
under the diversification requirements outlined in this Amendment. The notices must describe the
importance of diversifying investment held in their retirement accounts and explain the
diversification rights that apply to each Applicable Individual and for each class of Employer
Security held in the Plan.

ARTICLE I




INTRODUCTION


1.1 Creation and Title. The Employer and the undersigned Trustee(s) hereby create a Trust
to be known by the name set forth in the Adoption Agreement. All terms used herein have the same
meaning as described in the DATAIR Mass-Submitter Prototype Defined Contribution Plan 01.



1.2 Subject to the Requirements of the Plan. Numerous Plan provisions describe the
role and duties of the Trustee regarding the Plan. Such provisions are hereby incorporated by
reference and apply to the Trustee in the same manner as if they were stated in this Trust
Agreement. This Trust is subject to the terms of the Plan, and the Plan shall control in the event
of any conflict between the Plan document and this Agreement.



1.3 Effective Date. The provisions of this Trust shall be effective as of the
Effective Date specified in the most recent Adoption Agreement unless modified herein.



1.4 Purpose. The Plan and this Trust are established to provide retirement benefits to
Eligible Employees in accordance with the Plan and the Adoption Agreement.



1.5 Plan Administration. The Plan is administered by the Plan Administrator. The
Trustee shall act according to the Plan Administrator’s directions unless such directions are
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan or applicable law.





 









 








ARTICLE II




TRUSTEE


2.1 Acceptance of Trust. The Trustee, by the execution of this Trust Agreement, agrees to
act in accordance with the express terms and conditions hereof and the Plan.



2.2 Trustee Capacity — Co-Trustees.





	(a)	 	The Trustee may be a bank, trust company, or other corporation possessing trust powers
under applicable state or federal law or one or more individuals or any combination thereof.
	 
	(b)	 	The term “Trustee” as used herein also includes any person holding the assets of a custodial
account, an annuity contract, or other contract that is treated as a qualified trust pursuant
to Code section 401(f), and references to the Trust Fund shall be construed to apply to such
custodial account, annuity contract, or other contract.
	 
	(c)	 	At any time that a group of individuals is acting as Trustee, the number of such persons who
shall act in such capacity from time to time shall be determined by the Employer. The Employer
shall appoint such persons, who may or may not be Participants or Employees of the Employer.
When there are two (2) or more Trustees, they may allocate specific responsibilities,
obligations, or duties among themselves by their written agreement. An executed copy of such
written agreement shall be delivered to and retained by the Plan Administrator. Unless
otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, any action taken by the Trustees
shall be taken at the direction of a majority of such Trustees, or, if the number of such
Trustees is two (2), by unanimous consent.




2.3 Resignation, Removal, and Successors. Any Trustee may resign at any time by
delivering to the Employer a written notice of resignation to take effect at a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the delivery thereof; the Employer may
waive such notice. The Trustee may be removed by the Employer with or without cause, by tendering
to the Trustee a written notice of removal to take effect at a date specified therein.



Upon such removal or resignation of a Trustee, the Employer shall either appoint a successor
Trustee who shall have the same powers and duties as those conferred upon the resigning or
discharged Trustee, or, if a group of individuals is acting as Trustee, determine that a successor
shall not be appointed and the number of Trustees shall be reduced by one (1).



2.4 Consultations. The Trustee shall be entitled to advice of counsel, which may be
counsel for the Plan or the Employer, in any case in which the Trustee shall deem such advice
necessary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith reliance
upon the advice of such counsel.



With the exception of those powers and duties specifically allocated to the Trustee by the express
terms of the Plan, it shall not be the responsibility of the Trustee to interpret the terms of the
Plan, and the Trustee may request, and is entitled to receive, guidance and written direction from
the Plan Administrator on any point requiring construction or interpretation of the Plan documents.



2.5 Rights, Powers, and Duties. The rights, powers, and duties of the Trustee are:





	(a)	 	The Trustee shall have exclusive authority, discretion, and responsibility for the management
and control of the assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and
any amendments thereto, but the Employer may limit the exclusive authority, discretion, and
responsibility of the Trustee by




 









 






	 	 	written direction delivered to the Trustee. The duties of the Trustee under the Plan shall be
determined solely by the express provisions hereof, and no other further duties or
responsibilities shall be implied. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Trustee shall be fully
protected and shall incur no liability in acting in reliance upon the written instructions or
directions of the Employer, the Plan Administrator, a duly designated investment manager, or
any other named Fiduciary.






	(b)	 	The Trustee shall have all powers necessary or convenient for the orderly and efficient
performance of its duties hereunder, including but not limited to those specified in this
Section. The Trustee shall have the power generally to do all acts, whether or not expressly
authorized, that the Trustee in the exercise of its fiduciary responsibility may deem
necessary or desirable for the protection of the Trust Fund and the assets thereof.
	 
	(c)	 	The Trustee shall have the power to collect and receive any and all moneys and other property
due the Plan and to give full discharge and release therefor; to settle, compromise, or submit
to arbitration any claims, debts, or damages due to or owing to or from the Trust Fund; to
commence or defend suits or legal proceedings whenever, in the Trustee’s judgment, any
interest of the Trust Fund requires it; and to represent the Trust Fund in all suits or legal
proceedings in any court of law or equity or before any other body or tribunal. Claims that
are not subject to arbitration are ERISA claims, claims involving participants and claims that
affect the qualification of the Plan.
	 
	(d)	 	The Trustee shall cause any Life Insurance Policies or assets of the Trust Fund to be
registered in its name as Trustee and shall be authorized to exercise any and all ownership
rights regarding these assets, subject to the terms of the Plan.






	 	(i)	 	The requirements of paragraph (d) of this Section will not fail to be satisfied
merely because securities of a plan are held in the name of a nominee or in street name,
provided such securities are held on behalf of the Plan by:






	 	(A)	 	A bank or trust company that is subject to supervision by the United States
or a State, or a nominee of such bank or trust company;
	 
	 	(B)	 	A broker or dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
a nominee of such broker or dealer; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	A “clearing agency,” as defined in section 3(a)(23) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or its nominee.






	 	(ii)	 	Where a corporation described in section 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code holds
property on behalf of the Plan, the requirements of paragraph (d) of this Section are
satisfied with respect to such property if all the stock of such corporation is held in
trust on behalf of the Plan by one or more trustees.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If the assets of an entity in which the Plan invests include Plan assets by reason
of the Plan’s investment in the entity, the requirements of paragraph (d) of this Section
are satisfied with respect to such investment if the indicia of ownership of the Plan’s
interest in the entity are held in trust on behalf of the Plan by one or more trustees.






	(e)	 	The Trustee may temporarily hold cash balances and shall be entitled to deposit any funds
received in a bank account in the name of the Trust Fund in any bank selected by the Trustee,
including the banking department of a corporate Trustee, if any, pending disposition of such
funds in accordance with the Plan. Any such deposit may be made with or without interest.
	 
	(f)	 	The Trustee shall pay the premiums and other charges due and payable at any time on any Life
Insurance Policies as the Plan Administrator may direct, provided funds for such payments are
then available in the Trust. The Trustee shall be responsible only for such funds and Life
Insurance Policies that it actually




 









 






	 	 	receives as Trustee and shall have no obligation to make payments other than from such funds
and cash values of Life Insurance Policies.






	(g)	 	If the whole or any part of the Trust Fund shall become liable for the payment of any estate,
inheritance, income, or other tax that the Trustee shall be required to pay, the Trustee shall
have full power and authority to pay such tax out of any moneys or other property in its
possession for the Account of the person whose Plan interest is so liable. Prior to making any
payment, the Trustee may require such releases or other documents from any lawful taxing
authority as it shall deem necessary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any nonpayment of
tax when it distributes an interest hereunder on instructions from the Plan Administrator.
	 
	(h)	 	The Trustee shall keep a full, accurate, and detailed record of all transactions of the
Trust, which the Employer and the Plan Administrator shall have the right to examine at any
time during the Trustee’s regular business hours. As of the close of each Plan Year, the
Trustee shall furnish the Plan Administrator with a statement of account setting forth all
receipts, disbursements, and other transactions effected by the Trustee during the year. The
Plan Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of his approval or disapproval
of the statement of account.
	 
	 	 	The Plan Administrator’s failure to provide written disapproval of the statement within sixty
(60) days after receipt shall be considered an approval. Except as otherwise required by law,
the Plan Administrator’s approval shall be binding on all matters embraced in any statement to
the same extent as if the statement of the Trustee had been settled by judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction under which the Trustee, Employer, and all persons having or
claiming any interest in the Trust Fund were parties; provided, however, that the Trustee may
have its account judicially settled if it so desires.
	 
	(i)	 	The Trustee is hereby authorized to execute all necessary receipts and releases to any
parties concerned; and shall be under a duty, upon being advised by the Plan Administrator
that the proceeds of any Life Insurance Policies are payable, to give reasonable assistance to
the Beneficiary designated therein to collect such sums as may appear to be due and upon
payment, transfer such sums to the Beneficiary.
	 
	(j)	 	If, at any time, as the result of the death of the Participant, there is a dispute regarding
the person to whom payment or delivery of moneys or property should be made by the Trustee, or
regarding any action to be taken by the Trustee, the Trustee may postpone such payment,
delivery, or action, retaining the funds or property involved, until such dispute shall have
been resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Trustee shall have been indemnified to
its satisfaction, or it has received written direction from the Plan Administrator.
	 
	(k)	 	Anything in this instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have no duty
or responsibility with respect to the determination of matters pertaining to the eligibility
of any Employee to become or remain a Participant under the Plan, the amount of benefit to
which any Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled under the Plan, or the size and type of
any Life Insurance Policy to be purchased from any Insurer for any Participant under the Plan;
all such responsibilities being vested in the Plan Administrator.




2.6 Right of Trustee to Contributions. The Trustee shall have no duty to require any
contribution to be made or to determine whether contributions delivered to the Trustee by the
Employer comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be accountable only for
funds actually received by the Trustee.



2.7 Trustee Indemnification. The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Trustee for and from the assertion or occurrence of any liability to a Participant or Beneficiary
for any action taken or omitted by the Trustee pursuant to any written direction to the Trustee
from the Employer or the Plan Administrator. Such indemnification obligation of the Employer shall
not be applicable to the extent that any such liability is covered by insurance.



2.8 Changes in Trustee Authority. If a successor Trustee is appointed, neither an
Insurer nor any other person who has previously had dealings with the former Trustee shall be
chargeable with knowledge of


 









 






such appointment or change until furnished with written notice. Until such notice, the Insurer and
any other such party shall be fully protected in relying on any action taken or signature presented
that would have been proper in accordance with information previously received.





 









 








ARTICLE III




FIDUCIARY DUTIES


3.1 Standard of Conduct. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee with respect to the
Plan shall be carried out (a) in a non-discriminatory manner; (b) for the exclusive benefit of
Participants and their Beneficiaries; (c) by defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the
Plan; (d) with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the
conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims; (e) by diversifying the
investments of the Plan to minimize the risk of large losses, unless under the circumstances it is
clearly prudent not to do so; and (f) in accordance with the documents and instruments governing
the Plan insofar as such documents and instruments are consistent with the provisions of the Act.



3.2 Individual Fiduciaries. At any time that a group of individuals is acting in the
same Fiduciary capacity, the number of such persons who shall act in such capacity from time to
time shall be determined by the Employer. Such persons shall be appointed by the Employer and may
or may not be Participants or Employees of the Employer. Unless otherwise elected by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement, any action taken by a group of individuals acting in such capacity shall
be taken at the direction of a majority of such persons, or, if the number of such persons is two
(2), by unanimous consent.



3.3 Incorporation of Plan Provisions Regarding Fiduciaries. The provisions of Sections
3.3.3 through 3.3.11 of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference, and such provisions shall
apply to the Trustee in the same manner as they apply to any other Fiduciary.





 









 








ARTICLE IV




TRUST ASSETS


4.1 Trustee Is Exclusive Owner. All assets held by the Trustee, whether in the Trust Fund
or Segregated Funds, shall be owned exclusively by the Trustee, and no Participant or Beneficiary
shall have any individual ownership thereof. Participants and their Beneficiaries shall share in
the assets of the Trust, its net earnings, profits and losses, only as provided in the Plan.



4.2 Investments. The Trustee shall invest and reinvest the Trust Fund without
distinction between income and principal in one or more of the following ways, as the Trustee shall
from time to time determine:





	(a)	 	The Trustee may invest the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the United States of America or of any instrumentality thereof, or in other
bonds, notes, debentures, mortgages, preferred or common stocks, options to buy or sell stocks
or other securities, mutual fund shares, limited partnership interests, commodities, real
estate or any interest therein, or in such other property, real or personal, as the Trustee
shall determine.
	 
	(b)	 	The Trustee may cause the Trust Fund or any portion thereof to be invested in a common trust
fund established and maintained by a national or other bank regulated by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, for the collective investment of fiduciary funds, even though the bank
is acting as the Trustee or investment manager, provided such common trust fund is a qualified
trust under the applicable Code section, or corresponding provisions of future federal
internal revenue laws, and is exempt from income tax under the applicable Code section. In the
event any assets of the Trust Fund are invested in such a common trust fund, the Declaration
of Trust creating such common trust fund, as it may be amended from time to time, shall be
incorporated into the Plan by reference and made a part thereof.
	 
	 	 	Further, all or any portion of the assets subject to this Trust Agreement may be invested in
any collective investment fund maintained exclusively for the investment of assets of (i)
exempt, qualified employee benefit trusts and (ii) collective investment funds consisting
exclusively of assets of such qualified trust. The assets so invested shall be subject to all
the provisions of the instrument establishing such collective investment fund, as such
instrument may be amended from time to time. Such instrument, as amended from time to time, is
hereby incorporated and made a part of this Trust Agreement and shall control notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Trust Agreement or the Plan.
	 
	(c)	 	The Trustee may deposit any portion of the Trust Fund in savings accounts in federally
insured banks or savings and loan associations or invest in certificates of deposit issued by
any such bank or savings and loan association. The Trustee may retain, without liability for
interest, any portion of the Trust Fund in cash balances pending investment thereof or payment
of expenses.
	 
	(d)	 	The Trustee may buy and sell put and call options, covered or uncovered, engage in spreads,
straddles, ratio writing and other forms of options trading, including sales of options
against convertible bonds, and sales of Standard & Poor futures contracts, and trade in and
maintain a brokerage account on a cash or margin basis.
	 
	(e)	 	The Trustee may invest any portion or all of the assets of the Trust Fund that are
attributable to the vested and nonforfeitable interest in the Accounts of a Participant in the
purchase of group or individual Life Insurance Policies issued on the life of the Participant
or someone in whom the Participant has an insurable interest and for the benefit of the
Participant with the consent of the Participant, subject to the following conditions, as they
are represented by the Plan Administrator:




 









 












	 	(i)	 	If ordinary Life Insurance Policies are used, the aggregate life insurance premiums
must be less than one-half (1/2) of the aggregate Employer Contributions and Forfeitures
allocated to the Participant’s Account at any particular time, without regard to Trust
earnings, capital gains and losses; for purposes of this Plan, the term “Ordinary Life
Insurance Policies” shall mean Policies with both nondecreasing death benefits and
nonincreasing premiums.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The aggregate premiums paid for Life Insurance Policies on the life of any
Participant or someone in whom the Participant has an insurable interest that are either
term, universal or any other contracts which are not ordinary whole life Policies shall
not at any time exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of Employer
Contributions and Forfeitures that have been allocated to the Accounts of such
Participant.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The sum of one-half of the aggregate premiums for ordinary whole Life Insurance
Policies and all premiums for other Life Insurance Policies shall not at any time exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of Employer Contributions and
Forfeitures that have been allocated to the Accounts of such Participant.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	If the Plan permits in-service distributions to a Participant prior to his Normal
Retirement Date, the amount that may be distributed to the Participant may be applied to
the purchase of Life Insurance Policies.






	(f)	 	The Trustee may invest the Trust Fund or any portion thereof to acquire or hold Qualifying
Employer Securities or Real Property, provided that the portion so invested shall not exceed
the amount allowed as an investment under the Act. There shall be no limit on the acquisition
of Qualifying Employer Securities in an individual account balance plan in which Participants
may direct the Trustee to buy Qualifying Employer Securities on their behalf.
	 
	(g)	 	If permitted, the Participant may direct the purchase of life insurance on his life, on the
joint lives of the Participant and someone in whom the Participant has an insurable interest,
or on the life of someone in whom the Participant has an insurable interest. The amount that
can be used to pay life insurance premiums shall be determined according to this Section.




4.3 Administration of Trust Assets.

Subject to the limitations expressly set forth here and in the Plan, the Trustee shall have
the following powers and authority in connection with the administration of the assets of the
Trust:





	(a)	 	To hold and administer all contributions made by the Employer to the Trust Fund and all
income or other property derived therefrom as a single Trust Fund, except as otherwise
provided in the Plan. Receive contributions of property to the Plan as long as the Plan is not
a pension plan, the contribution is discretionary and the property is not encumbered;
	 
	(b)	 	To manage, control, sell, convey, exchange, petition, divide, subdivide, improve, repair,
grant options, sell upon deferred payments, lease without limit as determined for any purpose,
compromise, arbitrate, or otherwise settle claims in favor of or against the Trust Fund,
institute, compromise, and defend actions and proceedings, and to take any other action
necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Trust Fund;
	 
	(c)	 	To vote any stock, bonds, or other securities of any corporation or other issuer; otherwise
consent to or request any action on the part of any such corporation or other issuer; to give
general or special proxies or powers of attorney, with or without power of substitution; to
participate in any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, or similar
transaction with respect to such securities; to deposit such stocks or other securities in any
voting trusts, or with any protective or like committee, or with the trustee, or with the
depositories designated thereby; to exercise any subscription rights and conversion privileges
or other options and to make any payments incidental thereto; and generally to do all such
acts, execute all such instruments, take all such proceedings and exercise all such rights,
powers, and privileges with respect to the stock or other securities or property constituting
the Trust Fund as if the




 









 






	 	 	Trustee were the absolute owner thereof;






	(d)	 	To apply for and procure, at the election of any Participant, Life Insurance Policies on the
life of the Participant or someone in whom the Participant has an insurable interest; to
exercise whatever rights and privileges may be granted to the Trustee under such Policies, and
to cash in, receive, and collect such Policies or the proceeds therefrom as and when entitled
to do so under the provisions thereof;
	 
	(e)	 	To make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all documents of transfer and conveyance
and any and all other instruments that may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the powers
herein granted;
	 
	(f)	 	To register any investment held in the Trust in the Trustee’s own name or in the name of a
nominee for the benefit of the Plan, or to hold any investment in bearer form, provided that
the books and records of the Trustee shall at all times show that all such investments are
part of the Trust;
	 
	(g)	 	To borrow money for the purposes of the Plan in such amounts and upon such terms and
conditions as the Trustee deems appropriate;
	 
	(h)	 	To commingle the assets of the Trust Fund with the assets of other similar trusts that are
exempt from income tax, whether sponsored by the Employer, an affiliate of the Employer, or an
unrelated employer, provided that the books and records of the Trustee shall at all times show
the portion of the commingled assets that are part of the Trust; and
	 
	(i)	 	To do all acts whether or not expressly authorized that the Trustee may deem necessary or
proper for the protection of the property held hereunder.




4.4 Segregated Funds.

Unless otherwise determined by the Trustee to be imprudent, the Trustee shall invest and
reinvest each Segregated Fund without distinction between income and principal. Such accounts shall
be held for the benefit of the Participant for whom such Segregated Fund is established in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, and the Participant’s Segregated Account shall be credited
with any interest earned in connection with such accounts. If the Trustee determines that an
alternative investment is appropriate, the Trustee may invest the Segregated Fund in any manner
permitted with respect to the Trust Fund and such Segregated Fund shall be credited with the net
income or loss or net appreciation or depreciation in value of such investments. No Segregated Fund
shall share in any Employer Contributions or Forfeitures, any net income or loss from, or net
appreciation or depreciation in value of, any investments of the Trust Fund, or any allocation for
which provision is made in the Plan that is not specifically attributable to the Segregated Fund.



4.5 Investment Control Option.

If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to permit Participants to direct the
investment of their Accounts, each Participant may elect to transfer funds that do not exceed the
balances in his Trustee-directed Accounts to a Controlled Account and exercise investment control
of those funds by appropriate direction to the Trustee.



To the extent that the funds to be transferred from a Participant’s Account include his share of an
Employer Contribution or other funds that have not yet been received by the Trustee, such transfer
shall not occur until the Trustee receives such funds. Funds transferred to a Controlled Account on
behalf of the Participant shall be thereafter be invested by the Trustee in such property, real or
personal (other than collectibles), as the Participant shall direct from time to time in writing,
unless policies adopted pursuant to Section 3.4.6 of the Plan permit electromechanical
communications in this context. The Participant may not direct the Trustee to make distributions or
loans to himself, nor to make loans to the Employer, and the Trustee may limit the investment
alternatives available to the Participant in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.



A Participant shall make such election by giving notice thereof to the Trustee as the Trustee deems
necessary, and such notice shall specify the source and amount of such funds to be transferred. Any
such election shall be at the absolute discretion of the individual Participant and shall be
binding upon the Trustee unless the Trustee has actual knowledge that such transaction is a
prohibited transaction under the Code or the Act. Upon any such election being made, the amount of
such funds to be transferred shall be deducted from his Trustee-





 









 







directed Accounts as appropriate and added to a Controlled Account of the Participant. All earnings
thereafter received with respect to such transferred funds, as well as any appreciation or
depreciation in his investments, shall be added to or deducted from his Controlled Account.



If the Employer elects to follow ERISA section 404(c), the Plan Administrator or appropriate
Fiduciary shall ensure that the Plan provides Participants with the minimum options and information
required by ERISA section 404(c) and the regulations thereunder.



If a Participant elects to transfer funds from his Trustee-directed Accounts to a Controlled
Account as of a date other than a Valuation Date, the Trustee may defer such transfer until the
next succeeding Valuation Date or may make such transfer, provided that the Trustee determines that
the assets in the Trust Fund are such that it is feasible and practical to make such transfer. As
of the date of such transfer, adjustments to the Participant’s Accounts shall be made as if such
date is a Valuation Date.



As of any Valuation Date, the Participant may elect to have all or any portion of any cash
contained in his Controlled Account transferred back to the general assets of the Trust Fund, in
which case the Trustee shall again invest such cash as part of the general assets of the Trust
Fund. A Participant shall make such election by giving notice to the Trustee, in the manner that
the Trustee deems necessary, and the notice shall specify the amount of cash to be transferred. The
amount of such funds so transferred shall be deducted from the Participant’s Controlled Account and
added to the appropriate Account of the Participant. Any such election shall be at the absolute
discretion of the individual Participant and shall be binding upon the Trustee.



The Trustee shall not have any investment responsibility with respect to a Participant’s Controlled
Account. In the event that a Participant elects to have any such funds transferred to a Controlled
Account and invested in particular securities or assets pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall
not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the investment decision of the Participant.





 









 








ARTICLE V




AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


5.1 Amendments.

The Employer may at any time or times amend this Trust, in whole or in part.



5.2 Manner of Amending.

Each amendment of this Trust shall be made by delivery to the Trustee of a copy of the
Employer resolution that sets forth such amendment.



5.3 Limitations On Amendments.





	(a)	 	No amendment to this Trust shall:






	 	(1)	 	Directly or indirectly operate to give the Employer any interest whatsoever in the
assets of the Trust or a custodial account or to deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of
his vested and nonforfeitable interest in the assets of the Trust as then constituted, or
cause any part of the income or corpus of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to
purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Employees or their Beneficiaries; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	Increase the duties or liabilities of the Trustee without the Trustee’s prior written
consent.






	(b)	 	If the Employer has adopted a standardized Prototype Plan, it may amend the Trust or
custodial account document provided such amendment merely involves the specifications of the
names of the Plan, Employer, Trustee or custodian, Plan Administrator or other Fiduciaries,
the Trust Year, or the name of any pooled trust in which the Plan’s Trust will participate.
	 
	(c)	 	If the Employer has adopted a non-standardized Prototype Plan, it will not be considered to
have an individually designed plan merely because the Employer amends administrative
provisions of the Trust or custodial account document (such as provisions relating to
investments and duties of Trustees) so long as the amended provisions are not in conflict with
any other provision of the Plan and do not cause the Plan to fail to qualify under Code
section 401(a).




5.4 Trustee Powers Pending Final Distribution.

Sections 3.8.4 through 3.8.6 of the Plan provide for the termination or partial termination
of the Plan and the withdrawal of an Employer from participation in the Plan. Until final
distribution of the assets of the Trust, the Trustee shall continue to have all the powers provided
under the Plan and this Trust as are necessary for the orderly administration, liquidation, and
distribution of the assets of the Trust.



5.5 Delegation to Sponsor.

The Employer expressly delegates authority to the Plan Sponsor the right to amend any part of
this Trust on its behalf to the extent necessary to preserve the qualified status of the Plan. For
purposes of amendments by the Plan Sponsor, the Mass Submitter shall be recognized as the agent of
the Plan Sponsor. If the Plan Sponsor does not adopt the amendments made by the Mass Submitter, the
Plan shall no longer be identical to or a minor modifier of the Mass Submitter plan. The Plan
Sponsor shall submit a copy of the amendment to each Employer who has adopted the Plan after first
having received a ruling or favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan
as amended satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code.

6.2 Persons Dealing With Trustee Protected.

No person dealing with the Trustee shall be required or entitled to see to the application of
any money paid or property delivered to the Trustee, or determine whether the Trustee is acting
pursuant to the authorities granted to the Trustee hereunder or to authorizations or directions
herein required. The certificate of the Trustee that the Trustee is acting in accordance with the

unenforceable for any reason, said illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
remaining provisions, but shall be fully severable and the Trust shall be construed and enforced as
if said illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions had never been inserted herein.



6.6 Gender and Number.

Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine
gender shall include the feminine gender and vice versa.



6.7 Qualification Under Internal Revenue Laws.

The Employer intends that the Trust qualify under the applicable Code provisions. Until
advised to the contrary, the Trustee may assume that the Trust is so qualified and is entitled to

individually designed plan.

DATAIR Trust Amendment for

Defined Contribution Plans



The DATAIR Trust shall be amended by replacing in its entirety Section 2.6 of the Trust with
the following language effective May 22, 2009:



2.6 Right of Trustee to Contributions. Unless provided with written direction to the contrary, by
the Employer or the Plan Administrator, the Trustee shall have no duty to require any contribution
to be made or to determine whether contributions delivered to the Trustee by the Employer comply
with the provisions of this Agreement. The Trustee shall be notified in writing of the Named
Fiduciary to whom such responsibility has been assigned. In this case, the Trustee shall be
accountable only for funds actually received by the Trustee.



If the Plan has two or more Named Fiduciaries or Trustees assigned this duty, it may be allocated
to a single Named Fiduciary or Trustee. The Employer or Plan Administrator may also provide that a
Named Fiduciary may direct the Trustee as to this responsibility or may appoint an Investment
Manager to take on this duty. To the extent the nature and scope of the Trustee’s responsibilities
are specifically limited in the Plan documents, Trust Agreement or by written direction, it will be
the responsibility of the Named Fiduciary with the authority to hire and monitor Trustees to assure
that all Trustee responsibilities with respect to the management and control of the Plan’s assets
(including collecting delinquent contributions) have been properly assigned to a Trustee,
Investment Manager or Named Fiduciary.



The Plan must make systematic, reasonable and diligent efforts to collect delinquent Employer
Contributions. The steps necessary to discharge this duty to collect contributions will depend on
the available facts. In determining what collection actions to take, a Named Fiduciary must weigh
the value of the Plan assets involved, the likelihood of a successful recovery, and the expenses
expected to be incurred. Among other factors, the Named Fiduciary may take into account the
Employer’s solvency in deciding whether to expend Plan assets to pursue a claim.
