ADOPTION AGREEMENT #005
NONSTANDARDIZED 401(k) PLAN


The undersigned Employer, by executing this Adoption Agreement, establishes a retirement plan and trust (collectively "Plan") under The Prudential Insurance Company of America Defined Contribution Prototype Plan and Trust (basic plan document #11). The Employer, subject to the Employer's Adoption Agreement elections, adopts fully the Prototype Plan and Trust provisions. This Adoption Agreement, the basic plan document and any attached Appendices or agreements permitted or referenced therein, constitute the Employer's entire plan and trust document. All "Election" references within this Adoption Agreement are Adoption Agreement Elections. All "Article" or "Section" references are basic plan document references. Numbers in parentheses which follow election numbers are basic plan document references. Where an Adoption Agreement election calls for the Employer to supply text, the Employer (without altering the content of any existing printed text) may lengthen any space or line, or create additional tiers. When Employer‐supplied text uses terms substantially similar to existing printed options, all clarifications and caveats applicable to the printed options apply to the Employer‐supplied text unless the context requires otherwise. The Employer makes the following elections granted under the corresponding provisions of the basic plan document.

[Note: If the Employer under Election 8(j) elects to treat Part‐Time, Temporary and Seasonal Employees as Excluded Employees and any such an Employee actually completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the relevant Eligibility Computation Period, the Employee becomes an Eligible Employee.

If the Employer has not elected W‐2 Wages, the Plan Administrator for such other Plan definitions will use 415 Compensation. If the Plan is a Multiple Employer Plan, see Section 12.07.

The matching rate/amount is the specified rate/amount of match for the corresponding Elective Deferral amount/percentage. Any Matching Contributions apply to Pre‐Tax Deferrals and to Roth Deferrals unless described otherwise in Election 24(h). Matching Contributions for nondiscrimination testing purposes are subject to the targeting limitations. See Section 4.10(D).

Alternatively, the Employer in Election 24(a) may specify the Discretionary Matching Contribution formula.]

Additionally, for HCE participants, catch-up deferrals will not be matched    .


		
	(b)
	[   ]    No Match. Will not match any Catch‐Up Deferrals.


[Note: Election 26 does not apply to a safe harbor 401(k) plan unless the Employer will apply the ACP test. See Elections 38(a)(2)b. In this case, Election 26 applies only to Additional Matching, if any. A safe harbor 401(k) Plan will apply the Basic Match, QACA Basic Match or Enhanced Match to Catch‐Up Deferrals.

[Note: Unless the Plan is a Multiple Employer Plan, the Employer should not elect 27(d) unless there are Related Employers which are also Participating Employers. See Section 1.24(D). The Employer electing 27(d) also must complete Election 28(g) as to the allocation methods which apply to the Participating Employers.]
		
	(e)

	a.
	[   ]    Percentage amount.           % (not exceeding 100%) of the Taxable Wage Base in effect on the first day of the Plan Year, rounded to the next highest $           (not exceeding the Taxable Wage Base).

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

	a.
	[   ]    Each in own classification. Each Participant constitutes a separate classification.


		
	b.
	[   ]    NHCEs/HCEs. Nonhighly Compensated Employee/Participants and Highly Compensated Employee/Participants.


		
	c.
	[X]    Describe the classifications:  Each Participant constitutes a separate classification.    


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

(e)    [   ]    Age‐based. [This is a nondesigned based safe harbor allocation method.] In accordance with the age‐based allocation provisions of Section 3.04(B)(5). The Plan Administrator will use the Actuarial Factors based on the following assumptions (Complete both (1) and (2).):
		
	(1)
	Interest rate. (Choose one of a., b., or c.):


a.    [   ]    7.5%    b.    [   ]    8.0%    c.    [   ]    8.5%
		
	(2)

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


"Year of Service" under this Election 28(f) means (Choose one of a. or b.):
		
	a.
	[   ]    Eligibility. Years of Service for eligibility in Election 16.


		
	b.
	[   ]    Vesting. Years of Service for vesting in Elections 43 and 44.


[Note: A Year of Service must satisfy Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(4)‐11(d)(3) for the uniform points allocation to qualify as a safe harbor allocation under Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(4)‐2(b)(3).]
		
	(2)
	[   ]    Age.                                point(s) for each year of age attained during the Plan Year.

	b.
	[   ]    Across Employer lines. To all Participants regardless of which Employer directly employs them and regardless of whether their direct Employer made Nonelective Contributions for the Plan Year.


[Note: Unless the Plan is a Multiple Employer Plan, the Employer should not elect 28(g) unless there are Related Employers which are also Participating Employers. See Section 1.24(D) and Election 27(d). If the Employer elects 28(g)(2)a., the Employer should also elect 11(k)(2), to disregard the Compensation paid by "Y" Participating Employer in determining the allocation of the "X" Participating Employer contribution

This Election 30(b) and safe harbor status applies for the Plan Year ending:                                          (specify Plan Year end), which is the Plan Year to which the Employer's maybe and supplemental notices apply.


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

Note: A Participant's Actuarial Factor under Table I is the factor corresponding to the number of years until the Participant reaches his/her Normal Retirement Age under the Plan. A Participant's age as of the end of the current Plan Year is his/her age on his/her last birthday. For any Plan Year beginning on or after the Participant's attainment of Normal Retirement Age, the factor for "zero" years applies.
