required beginning date. 

  

	6.2.2	Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to
be distributed, no later than as follows: 

  
 (a)
If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then, except as provided in Article VI, 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’/z, if later.

amendment, distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died. 
  
 (c) If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death,
the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary 
  
 of the Participant’s death. 
  
 (d) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant

 For purposes of this Section 6.2.2 and Section 2.3, unless Section 6.2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin
on the Participant’s required beginning date. If Section 6.2.2(d) applies, distributions art considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.2.2(a). If distributions under an annuity

 (b) 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 Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations,

spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the remaining lift expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated 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. 
  
 (3) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the designated beneficiary’s remaining life
expectancy is calculated using this age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 
  
 (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no
designated 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 calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 
  

	6.4.2	Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

in section 9.11 of Rev. Proc. 2000-20, 2000-6 I.R.B. 553. 
  
 This letter
considers the changes in qualifications requirements made by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (GATT), Pub. L. 103-465, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-288, the Uniformed services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of
1994, Pub. L. 103-353, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, Pub. L. 105-34, the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, Pub. L. 105-206 and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000, Pub. L. 106-554. These laws are
referred to collectively as OUST. 
  
 Our opinion on the acceptability of the form
of the plan is not a ruling or determination as to whether an employer’s plan qualifies under code section 401 (a). However. an employer that adopts this plan may rely on this letter with respect to the qualification of its, plan under Code
section 401(a), as provided for in Announcement 2001-77, 2001-30 I.R.B. and outlined below. The terms of the plan must be followed in operation. 
  
 Except as provided below, our opinion does not apply with respect to the requirements of: (a) Code sections 401(a)(4), 401 (a) (26), 401(1), 410(b) and 414(6). Our
opinion does not apply for purposes of Code section 401 (a)(10)(B) and section 401 (a)(16) if an employer ever maintained another qualified plan for one or more employees who are covered by this plan. For this purpose, the employer will not
be considered to have maintained another plan merely because the employer has maintained another defined contribution plan(a), provided such other plans) hike been terminated prior to the effective date of this plan and no annual additions

 BENTHOS, INC. 401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN 
  
 QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER PROCEDURE 
  
 In the case of any Domestic Relations Order (“DRO”) received by Benthos, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan (the
“Plan”), its status as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (“QDRO”) under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code will be determined under the following procedures. The Plan
Administrator is responsible for administering the QDRO Procedure. The purpose of the QDRO Procedure is to establish a reasonable and consistent procedure for determining the qualified status of a DRO and for making distributions pursuant to a DRO
that qualifies under Internal Revenue Code Section 414(p). 
  
 Procedure prior to receipt of order The Plan will apply the following procedure prior to the Plan’s receipt of a DRO. 
  
 1. Suspension of Participant distributions or loans. If the Plan Administrator is on notice (verbal or written) regarding a pending domestic relations
action (e.g., a divorce) and has a reasonable belief the Participant’s account may become subject to a QDRO, the Plan Administrator may suspend processing the Participant’s distribution or loan requests pending resolution. 
  
 2. Removing hold on the account. After placing a hold on the account, the
Plan Administrator should notify the Participant of the hold on the account. In order to remove the hold, the Plan Administrator should request the Participant to provide written confirmation that a court will not issue a QDRO with respect to the
account, such as a property settlement agreement awarding the entire account to the Participant. 
  
 Procedure after receipt of order. The Plan will apply the following procedure whenever it receives a DRO which purports to be a QDRO. 
  
 1. Notice to Participant and to alternate payee. Within a reasonable time
period after receipt of a DRO, the Plan Administrator will notify the Participant and any alternate payee of the receipt of the order, and will deliver to the Participant and to each alternate payee a copy of this QDRO Procedure. 
  
 2. Notice to Trustee. The Plan Administrator, within a reasonable time
period after receipt of a DRO, will notify the Trustee of the receipt of the order. The Plan Administrator also will account separately for the amount of the Participant’s benefit that is subject to the order. The Plan Administrator will direct
the Trustee to segregate the “QDRO amount” if possible. 
  
 3. Review of order. The Plan Administrator will review the order within a reasonable time to determine its qualified status. The Plan Administrator will complete a QDRO DETERMINATION CHECKLIST with respect to each order the Plan receives.
In most circumstances, the Plan Administrator will complete review of the order within 30 days of receipt. After review, the Administrator will determine whether the order Is a QDRO. 
  
 4. Suspension of distributions and loans. If the Participant is eligible to receive benefits or loans from the Plan at the
time of receipt of the order, the Plan Administrator will suspend distributions and loans to the Participant to the extent the Plan Administrator deems necessary to comply with the order should the Plan Administrator determine the order is a QDRO.

  

 5. Determination order is a QDRO. If the Plan Administrator determines the order is a QDRO: 

 
 a. The Plan Administrator will notify the Participant and each alternate
payee that the order Is a QDRO and the Plan will distribute amounts pursuant to the QDRO. The Plan Administrator will notify the Participant and each alternate payee of the decision within ten days of the determination by mailing to each party a
copy of the QDRO DETERMINATION CHECKLIST, which will include the Plan Administrator’s certification. 
  
 b. If the QDRO requires immediate payment, the Plan will pay the designated amounts as soon as administratively feasible. Payment of any amount the order
required the Plan to pay during the determination period will include interest from the date the QDRO required the first payment, at the rate of interest determined to be reasonable. The rate of interest payable on regular savings accounts is a
reasonable rate of Interest for this purpose. 
  
 c. If the Plan
cannot make the distribution within 30 days of the determination of qualified status of the QDRO, the Plan Administrator will advise the parties of the delay, of the reason for the delay, and of the date by which the Plan expects to make payment.

  
 d. The Plan Administrator will advise the Participant when
the Plan has completed payment to the alternate payee. 
  
 e. The
Plan will maintain a separate accounting (which may include a segregated account) for each alternate payee until the Plan has completed benefits under the QDRO. 
  
 f. Each alternate payee is entitled to file with the Plan a beneficiary designation in the same manner as a Participant in
the Plan, except that if the Plan is subject to the joint and survivor annuity requirements, the joint and survivor annuity provisions do not apply to the alternate payee’s spouse. 
  
 6. Determination order is not a QDRO. If the Plan Administrator determines the order is not a QDRO: 
  
 a. The Plan Administrator will advise the Participant and each alternate
payee of the adverse decision and of the reasons for the adverse decision. The Plan will advise the Participant and each alternate payee of the decision within ten days of the determination by mailing to each party a copy of the QDRO DETERMINATION
CHECKLIST, which will Include the Plan Administrator’s certification of the decision. 
  
 b. The Plan Administrator will discontinue separate accounting for the amounts payable under the order. The Plan will pay the benefits to the party entitled to receive the benefits. If the Participant is not entitled
to a present distribution of any of the segregated benefits, the Plan will continue to account for the Participant’s benefits as if the Plan had not received the order. 
  
 c. If the Plan Administrator determines the status of the order within the 18-month period beginning on the date the order
would require the first payment, the Plan Administrator may delay distribution of any benefits subject to the order if the Plan Administrator has reason to believe a party will seek to cure the defects in the order. The Plan Administrator will
continue to delay distribution during the period the Plan Administrator determines to be necessary to fulfill the Plan Administrator’s fiduciary duties under the Plan. 
  

 7. Consultation with legal counsel. The Plan Administrator will consult with the Plan’s legal
counsel in case of questions that arise with respect to the interpretation of any provision of the order or with respect to the qualified status of the order.

 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 
  
 2. Notification. The Plan Administrator has mailed notification of receipt of a Domestic Relations Order, by regular first class mail, as follows:

  
 Date of notification to Participant:
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                     
  
 Date of notification to alternate payee(s):
                                        
                                        
                                        
                          
  
 Date of notification to Trustee:
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                         

  
 Note: The Plan Administrator must notify the Participant and
each alternative payee of receipt of the order, within 10 days of the Plan Administrator’s receipt of the order. The Plan Administrator will account separately for the amounts subject to the order within 2 business days after receipt of the
order. The Plan Administrator must advise the Trustee of the existence of the order within 2 business days after receipt, so the Trustee does not distribute funds subject to the order. 
  
 REVIEW OF ORDER 
  
 3. Technical Requirements. The Plan Administrator should complete review of the order within a reasonable time. The order is a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order (“QDRO”) only if the Plan Administrator answers “Yes” to each question in this paragraph 3. If the Plan Administrator answers “No” to any question, check paragraph 7 and state the reason(s) for the
answer in paragraph 7. 
  
 a. Order. Is the order an order
entered pursuant to a state domestic relations law (including a community property law)? 
  
 Yes:              No:              
  

 b. Domestic relations matter. Does the order relate to providing child support, alimony (maintenance)
payments or marital property rights? 
  
 Yes
             No             
  
 c. Plan identification. Does the order specify this Plan as the plan subject to the order? 
  
 Yes 
  
 d. Alternate payee. Does the order direct payment to the Participant’s spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent
(the “alternate payee”)? 
  
 Yes
             No             
  
 e.
                     Identification of Participant Does the order identify the Participant? 
  
 Yes
             No             
  
 f. Identification of alternate payee. Does the order state each alternate payee’s name and mailing address? 

 
 Yes
             No             
  
 g. Description of benefit. Does the order state the amount or the percentage of the Participant’s benefit the Plan must
pay to each alternate payee? Note: Answer “Yes” if the order describes the manner in which the Plan may determine the amount or percentage. 
  
 Yes             
No             
  
 h. Period of payment. Does the order state the number of payments or the period to which the order applies? Note: A lump sum payment satisfies this requirement 
  
 Yes
             No             
  
 4. Plan Consistency Requirements. The order is a QDRO only If the Plan Administrator answers “No” to each question
in this paragraph 4. If the Plan Administrator answers “Yes” to any question, check paragraph 8 and state the reason(s) for the answer in paragraph 8. 
  
 a. Required benefit. Does the order require the Plan to provide a type or a form of benefit or a benefit option the Plan
otherwise does not provide? Note: Consult the Plan’s QDRO provisions. Payment consistent with the Plan’s QDRO provisions or consistent with the Plan’s normal distribution provisions is acceptable. 
  
 Yes
             No              
  
 b. Amount of benefit. Does the order require the Plan to provide benefits greater than the benefits available to the
Participant without the QDRO? 
  
 Yes
         No              
  

 c. Prior QDRO. Does the order require payment of benefits that a previous QDRO requires the Plan to pay
to another alternate payee? Note: if no prior QDRO is in effect with respect to the Participant, answer “NO.” 
  
 Yes         
No                         
  
 5. Timing of Payment Requirement. The order is a QDRO only if the timing of payments under the order is consistent with the terms of the Plan. Note: If
the Plan authorizes payment at any time under a QDRO, the order automatically satisfies the timing of payment requirement. If the Plan does NOT contain special provisions for immediate payment under a QDRO, the Plan only may make payment under a
QDRO (if the Participant has not terminated employment) by the date the Participant attains his “earliest retirement age.” If the Plan Administrator does not answer “Yes” to part a. of this paragraph 5, the Plan Administrator
must determine whether the Participant has reached his “earliest retirement age” under part b. of this paragraph 5. 
  
 a. Immediate authorization payment. Does the Plan authorize payment at any time under a QDRO? 
  
 Yes         
No                         
  
 if “Yes,” the order satisfies the timing of payment requirement. Skip part b. of this paragraph 5. 
  
 b. Earliest retirement age payment. If the answer to part 5.a. is
“No,” complete this part b. to determine if payment will occur under the order after the Participant’s “earliest retirement age,” 
  
 i. Does the Plan authorize payment of benefits to the Participant (separate and apart from the order) on the date of the required payment to the alternate
payee under the order (e.g., an in-service distribution from a profit sharing plan)? 
  
 Yes                      No              

  
 ii. As of the date of commencement of payment to the
alternate payee under the order, will the Participant have reached the hater of (a) age 50, or (b) the earliest date on which the Participant could begin receiving benefits If the Participant terminated employment? 
  
 Yes
                     No               
  
 If the Plan Administrator answers “Yes” to either b.i. or b.ii, the
order satisfies the timing of payment requirement. If the Plan Administrator answers “No” to both b.i. and bii., check paragraph 9. 
  
 6. Determination of Qualified Status. If the Plan Administrator has answered “Yes” to each question in paragraph 3, has answered “No”
to each question in paragraph 4, and has answered “Yes” to at least one question in paragraph 5, the order qualifies as a QDRO. If the order qualifies as a QDRO, the Plan Administrator should write “NIA” next to each of
paragraphs 7, 8 and 9, and should sign the Plan Administrators Certification of QDRO in paragraph 10. If the order does NOT qualify as a QDRO, the Plan Administrator should check one or more of paragraphs 7, 8 and 9, should complete the explanation
as required, and should sign the Plan Administrator’s Certification of Nonqualified Status in paragraph 10. The Plan Administrator should notify the Participant and each alternate payee of the determination by mailing a copy of this QDRO
Determination Checklist to each party, complete with the Plan 

  

 
Administrator’s Certification. After notification of the Participant and each alternate payee, the Plan Administrator should complete the QDRO
procedure. 
  
 NOTE: CHECK AND COMPLETE ONLY THOSE OF PARAGRAPHS
7, 8 AND 9 WHICH APPLY IN RESPONSE TO PARAGRAPHS 3,4 AND 5. IF ANY OF PARAGRAPHS 7, 8 AND 9 DO NOT APPLY, WRITE “N/A” NEXT TO THE NUMBER AND DO NOT COMPLETE THE PARAGRAPH. 
  
         7. Disqualification-Technical Requirements. The order is not a QDRO
because the order does not satisfy one or more of the technical requirements referred to in paragraph 3. The explanation of each “No” answer is the following: 
  
         8. Disqualification-Consistency Requirements. The order is not a QDRO
because the order does not satisfy one or more of the consistency requirements referred to in paragraph 4. The explanation of each “Yes” answer is the following: 
  
         9. Disqualification-Timing of Payment Requirement. The order Is not a
QDRO because the order requires the payment of benefits earlier than the Plan permits (as determined under paragraph 5). The Plan does not permit the immediate distribution of benefits to an alternate payee under a QDRO, AND the order requires the
payment of benefits prior to the Participant’s “earliest retirement age.” 
  
 DETERMINATION OF STATUS 
  
 10.
Plan Administrator’s Certification. Sign the certification paragraph which states the Plan Administrator’s determination with respect to the qualified status of the order. COMPLETE ONLY ONE CERTIFICATION.

 BENTHOS, INC. 401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN 
  
 PARTICIPANT LOAN PROGRAM 
  
 Benthos, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan permits loans to be made to Participants and their beneficiaries. However, before any loan is made, the Plan requires
that a written loan program be established which sets forth the rules and guidelines for making Participant loans. This document shall serve as the required written loan program. In addition, the Administrator may use this document to serve as, or
supplement, any required notice of the loan program to Participants and their beneficiaries. All references to Participants in this loan program shall include Participants and their Beneficiaries who are “parties in interest” as defined by
Act Section 3(14). 
  
 1. The Administrator of the Plan is
authorized to administer the Participant loan program. All applications for loans shall be made by a Participant to the Administrator on forms which the Administrator will make available for such purpose. 
  
 2. All loan applications shall be considered by the Administrator within a
reasonable time after the Participant makes formal application. The Participant shall also be required to provide such supporting information deemed necessary by the Administrator. This may include a financial statement, tax returns and such other
financial information which the Administrator may consider necessary and appropriate to determine whether a loan should be granted. Furthermore, the Participant shall authorize the Administrator to obtain a credit report on the Participant.

  
 3. The Administrator shall determine whether a Participant
qualifies for a loan, applying such criteria as a commercial lender of funds would apply in like circumstances with respect to the Participant. Such criteria shall include, but need not be limited to, the creditworthiness of the Participant and his
general ability to repay the loan, the period of time such Participant has been employed by the Employer, whether adequate security has been provided for the loan, and whether the Participant agrees, as a condition for receiving the loan, to make
repayments through direct, after-tax payroll deduction. 
  
 4.
With regard to any loan made pursuant to this program, the following rule(s) and limitation(s) shall apply (check those that apply), in addition to such other requirements set forth in the plan: 
  
 x No loan in an amount less than $1,000
shall be granted to any Participant 
  
  ̈ Loans shall only be granted in the event of a Participant’s hardship or for the purpose of enabling a Participant to meet certain specified financial
situations. For this purpose, a loan shall be authorized in the event of significant health expenses or loss of income resulting from a prolonged illness or disability of the Participant, loss of income or significant health expenses resulting from
a prolonged illness, disability or death in the Participant’s immediate family, establishing the principal residence of the Participant, or for paying for a college education (including graduate studies) for the Participant or his dependents.
The Administrator shall determine whether a Participant qualifies for a loan under this paragraph. 
  
 x All loans made pursuant to this program shall be considered a directed investment from the account(s) of the
Participant maintained under the Plan. As such, all payments of principal and interest made by the Participant shall be credited only to the account(s) of such Participant. 
  
  ̈ A Participant
shall be entitled to a loan up to $10,000 even if such amounts would exceed one-half (1/2) of the present value of the non-forfeitable accrued benefit of the Participant under the Plan. 
  

	 	x	Term for repayment of a home may not exceed 15 years. 

  

	 	x	A loan is treated in default if unpaid for more than 90 days. 

  

	 	x	Only one loan(s) may be outstanding for a Participant at any given time. 

  

	 	x	Interest rate will be adjusted according to prime rate as listed in the Wall Street Journal plus one percent 

  

 5. Any loan granted or renewed under this program shall bear a reasonable rate of interest. In
determining such rate of interest, the Plan shall require a rate of return commensurate with the prevailing interest rate charged on similar commercial loans under like circumstances by persons in the business of lending money. Such prevailing
interest rate standard shall permit the Administrator to consider factors pertaining to the opportunity for gain and risk of loss that a professional lender would consider on a similar arms-length transaction, such as the creditworthiness of the
Participant and the security given for the loan. Therefore, in establishing the rate of interest, the Administrator shall conduct a reasonable and prudent inquiry with professional lenders in the same geographic locale where the Participant and
Employer reside to determine such prevailing interest rate for loans under like circumstances. 
  
 6. The Plan shall require that adequate security be provided by the Participant before a loan is granted. For this purpose, the Plan shall consider a
Participant’s interest under the Plan to be adequate security. However, in no event shall more than 50% of a Participant’s vested interest in the Plan (determined immediately after origination of the loan) be used as security for the loan.
Generally, it shall be the policy of the Plan not to make loans which require security other than the Participant’s vested interest in the Plan. However, if additional security is necessary to adequately secure the loan, then the Administrator
shall require that such security be provided before the loan will be granted. For this purpose, the Participant’s principal residence may serve as additional security, if permitted by State law. 
  
 7. Generally, a default shall occur upon the failure of a Participant to
timely remit payments under the terms of the loan when due. In such event, the Trustee shall take such reasonable actions which a prudent fiduciary in like circumstances would take to protect and preserve Plan assets, including foreclosing on
any collateral and commencing such other legal action for collection which the Trustee deems necessary and advisable. Failure to make any installment payment when due in accordance with the terms of the loan results in a deemed distribution at the
time of such failure. The Trustee shall not be required to commence such actions immediately upon a default. Instead, the Trustee may grant the Participant a grace period to cure any default, provided such actions would constitute a prudent and
reasonable course of conduct for a professional lender in like circumstances. Any such grace period shall not continue beyond the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the required installment payment was due.

  
 8. Upon satisfaction of the criteria established for granting
a loan, the Administrator shall inform the Trustee that the Participant has qualified to receive a loan under the Plan’s program. The Trustee shall review the determination made by the Administrator (including the prevailing interest rate which
has been set for the loan) and, if it determines that such loan would be a prudent investment for the Plan, applying such fiduciary standards required by ERISA, the Trustee may grant the loan request. In making such determination, the Trustee may
consider the liquidity of the Plan assets available for loans. The Trustee shall then require that the Participant execute all documents necessary to establish the loan, including a promissory note and such other documents which will provide the
Plan with adequate security. 
  
 Adopted this 30th day of April,
2004. This loan program may be amended from time to time.
