WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower desire to consolidate, modify and extend the terms of the Notes as hereafter provided; and

​
1.Defined Terms. All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the following meanings: 
“Alternative Benchmark Rate” means a rate of interest per annum equal to the Prime Rate minus two and 5/10 percent (2.5%) which shall adjust daily with changes in the Prime Rate, provided that if the Prime Rate would be less than zero percent (0%), then the Prime Rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0%).

“Applicable Margin” means (i) one and eighty hundredths percent (1.80%) when Borrower’s EBITDA is equal to or greater than $35,000,000, (ii) one and ninety five hundredths percent (1.95%) when Borrower’s EBITDA is equal to or greater than $32,000,000 but less than $35,000,000, (iii) Two and ten hundredths percent (2.10%) when Borrower’s EBITDA is equal to or greater than $30,000,000 and less than $32,000,000 and (iv) two and twenty five hundredths percent (2.25%) when Borrower’s EBITDA is less than $30,000,000. Borrower’s EBITDA shall be determined based on its most recent yearend financial statement furnished to Lender.  From the date hereof until the first determination of Borrower's EBITDA, the Applicable Margin described in clause (ii) of this definition shall apply.
​
Benchmark” means the Index and thereafter the then-current Successor Rate.
“Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Successor Rate, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definitions such as “Business Day,” “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and  implementation  of such Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by Lender in a manner Lender decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the Note.
​
“EBITDA” means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as each such item is calculated in accordance with GAAP on a trailing twelve-month basis.
​
“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles.
 ​
“Index” means Term SOFR, however, that if the Index for adjustment is less than zero percent (0%), then the Index shall be deemed to be zero percent (0%).

​
2

​
“Interest Period” means a three-month period commencing on the first numeric calendar day of each three-month period, provided that (i) the initial Interest Period shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall continue until April 1, 2022 at which time the full three-month Interest Period shall commence and (ii) no Interest Period shall operate to extend the date on which any amount owed under the Note is due and payable. 
​
“Prime Rate” means the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, which is the Prime Rate published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal from time to time, and shall change effective on the day after the date any change in such rate is reported; further provided if the rate referenced in this paragraph is at any time less than zero percent (0%), then such rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0%).
“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.
“Relevant Governmental Body Recommended Rate” means, in respect of any relevant day the rate (inclusive of any spreads or adjustments which may be positive or negative) recommended as the replacement for the Benchmark by the Relevant Governmental Body (which rate may be produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or another administrator). 
 “Term SOFR” means for any Interest Period a rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR Screen Rate for a three (3) month duration that is published two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to each Interest Rate Change Date. 
​
“Term SOFR Screen Rate” means the forward looking secured overnight financing rate for the corresponding Interest Period administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Ltd (or a successor administrator of Term SOFR) and published at https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/cme-group-benchmark-administration/term-sofr.html?redirect=/termsofr (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by Lender from time to time).

​
3.Modification of Note – Interest Rate.  It is agreed that the Note is hereby modified and amended to change the interest rate to be charged thereunder, effective with the date hereof, to an adjustable rate per annum equal to the Index plus the Applicable Margin that is reset at the end of each Interest Period and continuing until Maturity.
​
4.Inability to Determine Index. 
 (a)In the event Lender determines in its sole discretion that (i) there is a public announcement by the administrator of a Benchmark or a Relevant Governmental Body that such Benchmark will cease or has ceased to be published; (ii) a public announcement is made by the administrator of a Benchmark or any Relevant Governmental Body that the Benchmark is no longer representative; or (iii) a Relevant Governmental Body has determined that Lender may no longer utilize the Benchmark for purposes of setting interest rates; (each a “Benchmark Transition Event”), Lender will have no obligation to make, fund or maintain a loan based on the Benchmark, and on a date and time determined by Lender, without any further action or consent of by Borrower or amendment to this Agreement, the first available alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by Lender shall replace the Benchmark (“Successor Rate”):
(X)Relevant Governmental Body Recommended Rate; or
(Y) Alternative Benchmark Rate. 
(b)In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, Lender will have the right, with the consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld), to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Successor Rate or Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding anything 

​
4
​

else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero percent (0%), the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero percent (0%) for the purposes of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, following the implementation of a Successor Rate, the interest rate under the Note will be the Successor Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)Lender will notify (in one or more notices) Borrower of the implementation of any Successor Rate. Any determination or decision that may be made by Lender pursuant to this Section 4, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in Lender’s sole discretion and without consent from Borrower.
 (d)In the event Lender determines in its sole discretion that Lender cannot make, fund, or maintain a loan based upon the Benchmark due to illegality or the inability to ascertain or determine said rate on the basis provided for herein (“Unavailability Period”) and a Benchmark Transition Event has not occurred, then at the election of Lender the Benchmark shall convert to the Alternative Benchmark Rate for purposes of calculating the interest rate on the then outstanding principal balance and for interest accruing on any fundings or advances requested by Borrower and, thereafter, the interest rate on the Note shall adjust simultaneously with any fluctuation in the Alternative Benchmark Rate.  In the event Lender determines that the circumstances giving rise the Unavailability Period have ended, at such time as determined by Lender the Benchmark will revert to the prior Benchmark (provided a Benchmark Transition Event has not occurred).  Lender shall provide notice, which may be after the implementation of the Alternative Benchmark Rate as contemplated hereunder, to Borrower of any Benchmark change that is made pursuant to this Section 4. For avoidance of doubt, following conversion to the Alternative Benchmark Rate, the interest rate under the Note will be the Alternative Benchmark Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
​
5.Consolidation of the Notes. The Notes are hereby consolidated so that the payment schedule of the principal and accrued interest thereon shall be paid aggregately in the following matter, to-wit:
​
Quarterly installments of accrued interest only on the principal balance remaining outstanding from time to time shall be due and payable beginning on the first day of April, 2022 and continuing thereafter on the first day of each consecutive quarter thereafter until March 1, 2027 (“Maturity”) at which time the final installment of the outstanding principal balance of the Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full.
​
6.Step Down of Availability. The principal amount available under this Note shall decrease by two and one-half percent (2.5%) on each anniversary of the date of this Note.
​
7. Reaffirmation of Obligations. All terms and provisions of the Notes not herein specifically modified or amended shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed 

​
5
​

by the parties hereto. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not constitute payment, cancellation, satisfaction, discharge, release, extinguishment or novation of the principal indebtedness evidenced by the Notes.

For any Top-Heavy Plan Year, 
the special minimum allocation requirements of Code section 
416(c) set forth in Section 4.7(d) of the Plan shall apply. 
2.2
Determination of Top-Heavy Status 
(a)
Top-Heavy Plan. 
This Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year 
in which, as of 
the Determination Date, the present value of accrued benefits of Key Employees and the sum of the Aggregate 
Accounts of Key Employees under this Plan and all plans of an Aggregation Group exceeds 60% of the present 
value of accrued benefits and the sum of the Aggregate Accounts of all Key Employees and non-Key 
Employees under this Plan and all plans of an Aggregation Group. 
 
If any Participant is a non-Key Employee for any Plan Year, 
but such Participant was a Key 
Employee for any prior Plan Year, 
the present value of such Participant’s accrued benefit and such 
Participant’s 
Aggregate Account balance shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether this Plan is a 
Top-Heavy Plan (or whether any Aggregation Group which includes this Plan is a Top 
-Heavy Group). 
In 
addition, the accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for an Employer 
during the one-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account. 
(b)
Aggregate Account. 
A Participant’s Aggregate Account for purposes of this Article II 
only shall be defined as the sum of the following as of the Determination Date: 

 

 

 

12 
(i)
The balance of his or her Aggregate Account as of the most recent valuation 
occurring within a 12-month period ending on the Determination Date. 
(ii)
An adjustment for any contributions due as of the Determination Date, which 
adjustment shall be the amount of any contributions actually made after the most recent Valuation 
Date but due 
on or before the Determination Date, except for the first Plan Year 
of the Plan when such adjustment shall also 
reflect the amount of any contributions made after the Determination Date that are allocated as of a date in that 
first Plan Year. 
(iii)
Any Plan distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any 
Plan aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2) during the one-year period ending on the 
Determination Date. 
The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, 
had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). 
In 
the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this 
provision shall be applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period.” 
(iv)
Any Employee contributions, whether voluntary or mandatory. 
However, 
amounts attributable to tax-deductible, qualified voluntary Employee contributions shall not be considered to be 
a part of the Participant’s Aggregate Account balance. 
(v)
With respect to unrelated rollovers (ones which are both initiated by the 
Employee and made from a plan maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another employer), if this 
Plan permits the rollovers, it shall always consider such rollovers as a distribution for the purposes of this 
Section. 
(vi)
With respect to related rollovers and ones either not initiated by the Employee or 
made to a plan maintained by the same employer, if this Plan permits the rollovers, they shall not be counted as 
distributions for purposes of this Section. 
If this Plan is the plan accepting such rollovers, it shall consider such 
rollovers as part of the Participant’s Aggregate Account balance, irrespective of the date on which such 
rollovers are accepted. 
(vii)
For the purposes of determining whether two employers are to be treated as the 
same employer in paragraphs (v) and (vi) above, all employers aggregated under Code section 414(b), (c), (m), 
and (o) shall be treated as the same employer. 
(c)
“Aggregation Group” means either a Required Aggregation Group or a Permissive 
Aggregation Group as hereinafter determined. 
(i)
Required Aggregation Group: 
In determining a Required Aggregation Group 
hereunder, each plan of the Employer in which a Key Employee is a Participant in the Plan Year 
containing the 
Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years 
, 
and each other plan of the Employer which enables 
any plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) or 410, 
shall be required to be aggregated. 
Such group shall be known as a “Required Aggregation Group.” 
 
In the case of a Required Aggregation Group, each plan in the group shall be considered 
a Top-Heavy Plan if the Required Aggregation Group is a Top 
-Heavy Group. 
No plan in the Required 
Aggregation Group shall be considered a Top-Heavy Plan if the Required Aggregation Group is not a Top-
Heavy Group. 
(ii)
Permissive Aggregation Group: 
The Employer may also include any other plan 
not required to be included in the Required Aggregation Group, provided the resulting group, taken as a whole, 

 

 

 

 

 

13 
would continue to satisfy the provisions of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410. 
Such group shall be known as a 
“Permissive Aggregation Group.” 
 
In the case of a Permissive Aggregation Group, only a plan that is part of the Required 
Aggregation Group shall be considered a Top-Heavy Plan if the Permissive Aggregation Group is a Top 
-Heavy 
Group. 
No plan in the Permissive Aggregation Group shall be considered a Top-Heavy Plan if the Permissive 
Aggregation Group is not a Top-Heavy Group. 
(iii)
Only those plans of the Employer in which the Determination Dates fall within 
the same calendar year shall be aggregated in order to determine whether such plans are Top-Heavy Plans. 
(iv)
An Aggregation Group shall include any terminated plan of the Employer if it 
was maintained within the last five years ending on the Determination Date. 
(d)
“Determination Date” means (i) the last day of the preceding Plan Year 
, 
or (ii) in the case 
of the first Plan Year, 
the last day of such Plan Year. 
(e)
“Present Value 
of Accrued Benefit” 
means, in the case of a defined benefit plan, the 
present value of the accrued benefit for a Participant other than a Key Employee, determined using the single 
accrual method used for all plans of the Employer and Affiliated Employers, 
or, if no such single method exists, 
using a method which results in benefits accruing not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under 
Code section 411(b)(1)(C). 
The present value of the accrued benefit shall 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. 
(f)
“Top-Heavy Group” means an Aggregation Group in which, as of the Determination 
Date, the sum of: 
(i)
the present value of accrued benefits of Key Employees under all defined benefit 
plans included in the group; and 
(ii)
the Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans 
included in the group, 

exceeds 60% of a similar sum determined for all Key Employees and non-Key Employees under this Plan and 
all plans of the Aggregation Group.

payroll period. 
The Participant shall make such an election by filing a salary deferral election in accordance 
with procedures established by the Administrator. 
(ii)
A Participant may increase or decrease 
the percentage of his or her Compensation 
to be deferred and make a new election by providing the Administrator with notice of such modification in the 
manner prescribed by the Administrator. 
Such new election shall initially be effective beginning with the pay 
period following the acceptance of the notice by the Administrator or as soon as practicable thereafter. 
Any 
modification shall not have retroactive effect and shall remain in force until revoked. 
(iii)
A Participant may elect to revoke his or her salary reduction agreement 
prospectively in its entirety at any time during the Plan Year 
by providing the Administrator with notice of such

beginning of the first pay period coincident with or next following the date of notice or as soon as practicable 
thereafter. 
Furthermore, the Participant’s Severance from Employment, change in status to other than Eligible 
Employee, or the cessation of participation for any reason, shall be deemed to revoke any salary reduction

or limit 
the amount of Elective Contributions made to the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees to the 
extent necessary to satisfy either the Actual Deferral Percentage Test set forth in Section 4.8(a) or the Actual

(i)
The Employer shall permit a reemployed Participant to make additional Deferred 
Compensation contributions during the period which begins on the date of the reemployment of such Participant 
and has the same length as the lesser of the product of three and the period of Qualified Military Service which

(ii)
The amount of additional Deferred Compensation contributions permitted under 
this subsection is the maximum amount of the Deferred Compensation contributions that the Participant would 
have been permitted to make under the Plan during the period of Qualified Military Service if the Participant 
had continued to be employed by the Employer during such period and received Compensation. 
Proper 
adjustment shall be made to the amount determined under the preceding sentence for any Deferred 
Compensation contributions actually made during the period of such Qualified Military Service.

Contribution Test shall not apply to the Bargaining 
Component Plan. 
The term “actual contribution percentage”

Pursuant to Regulation sections 1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(iii)(B) and 1.401(m)-
1(b)(4)(iii)(B), the Plan cannot be tested on an aggregate basis with any other cash or deferred arrangement that

This process shall be repeated until all the excess Deferred Compensation 
attributable to the applicable test has been distributed.

If a Highly Compensated 
Employee participates in two or more such plans or arrangements that have different plan years, all matching 
contributions or employee contributions (or contributions treated as matching or employee contributions) made

expiration date of the election period may elect to have his or her nonforfeitable percentage computed under the 
Plan without regard to such amendment. 
If a Participant fails to make such election, then such Participant shall 
be subject to the new vesting schedule. 
The Participant’s election period shall commence on the adoption date 
of the amendment and shall end 60 days after the latest of: 
(i)
the adoption date of the amendment; 
(ii)
the effective date of the amendment; or 
(iii)
the date the Participant receives written notice of the amendment from the 
Employer or Administrator. 
(c)
Effect of Break in Service. 
If a Participant is reemployed after a 1-Year 
Break in Service 
has occurred, Years 
of Service shall include Years 
of Service prior to his or her 1-Year 
Break in Service subject 
to the following rules: 
(i)
If a Participant has a 1-Year 
Break in Service, his or her pre-break and post-break 
service shall be used for computing Years 
of Service for vesting purposes only after he or she has been 
employed for one Year 
of Service following the date of his or her reemployment with the Employer; 
(ii)
A Participant who under the Plan does not have a nonforfeitable right to any 
interest in the Plan resulting from Employer contributions shall lose credits otherwise allowable under (i) above 
if his or her consecutive 1-Year 
Breaks in Service equal or exceed the greater of (A) five or (B) the aggregate 
number of his or her pre-break Years 
of Service; and 
(iii)
After five consecutive 1-Year 
Breaks in Service, a Participant’s Vested 
Account 
balance attributable to pre-break service shall not be increased as a result of post-break service. 
(d)
Years 
of Service Excluded. 
In determining Years 
of Service for purposes of vesting 
under the Plan, Years 
of Service prior to the vesting computation period in which an Employee attained his or 
her 18th birthday shall be excluded. 
(e)
Distribution Before Fully Vested. 
If a distribution is made at a time when a Participant is 
not fully Vested 
in his or her Participant’s Account and the Participant may increase the Vested 
percentage in 
such account: 
(i)
A separate account shall be established for the Participant’s interest in the Plan as 
of the time of the distribution; 
(ii)
At any relevant time, the Participant’s Vested 
portion of the separate account shall 
be equal to an amount (“X”) determined by the formula: 
 
X equals P(AB plus (RxD)) – (RxD) 
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 distribution, and R is the ratio of the account balance at the relevant time 
to the account balance after distribution. 
6.2
Determination of Benefits Upon Termination 

 

 

 

 

35 
Upon a Participant’s Severance from Employment, the Participant’s 
Aggregate Account shall be 
subject to the Participant’s investment directions in accordance with Section 4.13 and shall share in allocations 
of earnings and losses pursuant to Section 4.7(c) until such time as a distribution is made to the Participant. 

Distribution of the Participant’s Vested 
Aggregate Account shall be made as soon as practicable following the 
Participant’s Severance from Employment; provided, however, 
that in the case of a Participant whose Vested 
Aggregate Account balance exceeds $5,000, no distribution shall be made without the written consent of the 
Participant, subject to Section 6.6 (regarding Required Minimum Distributions). 
 
Any distribution under this subsection shall be made in a manner which is consistent with and 
satisfies the provisions of Section 6.5, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code 
section 411(a)(11) and the Regulations thereunder. 
 
If the value of a Participant’s Vested 
Aggregate Account does not exceed $5,000, the 
Administrator shall direct the Trustee to cause the entire benefit to be paid to such Participant in a single lump 
sum. 
If the value of a Participant’s Vested 
Aggregate Account exceeds $1,000 but does not exceed $5,000, the 
entire benefit shall be automatically rolled over to an IRA unless the Participant elects otherwise. 

6.3
Determination of Benefits Upon Death 
(a)
Distribution. 
Upon the death of a Participant all Vested 
amounts credited to such 
Participant’s Aggregate Account shall be distributed, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5(e), to the 
deceased Participant’s Beneficiary. 
(b)
Loans. 
Any security interest held by the Plan by reason of an outstanding loan to a 
deceased Participant shall be taken into account in determining the amount of the death benefit. 
(c)
Proof of Death. 
The Administrator may require such proper proof of death and such 
evidence of the right of any person to receive payment of the value of the account of a deceased Participant as 
the Administrator may deem desirable. 
The Administrator’s determination of death and of the right of any 
person to receive payment shall be conclusive. 
(d)
Beneficiary. 
The Beneficiary of the death benefit payable pursuant to this Section shall 
be the Participant’s Spouse, 
except, however, the Participant may designate a Beneficiary other than his or her 
Spouse if: 
(i)
the Spouse has waived the right to be the Participant’s Beneficiary; 
(ii)
the Participant is legally separated or has been abandoned (within the meaning of 
local law) and the Participant has a court order to such effect (and there is no qualified domestic relations order, 
as defined in Code section 414(p), which provides otherwise); 
(iii)
the Participant has no Spouse; or 
(iv)
the Spouse cannot be located. 
 
In such event, the designation of a Beneficiary shall be made on a form satisfactory to the 
Administrator. 
A Participant may at any time revoke his or her designation of a Beneficiary or change his or 
her Beneficiary by filing written notice of such revocation or change with the Administrator. 
However, the 
Participant’s Spouse must again consent in writing to any change in Beneficiary unless the original consent 
acknowledged that the Spouse had the right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary and that the Spouse 

 

 

 

 

 

 

36 
voluntarily elected to relinquish such right. 
In the event no valid designation of a Beneficiary exists at the time 
of the Participant’s death, the death benefit shall be payable to his or her estate. 
(e)
Spousal Consent. 
Any consent by the Participant’s Spouse to waive any rights to the 
death benefit must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of such waiver, and must be witnessed by a Plan 
representative or a notary public. 
Further, the Spouse’s 
consent must be irrevocable and must acknowledge the 
specific nonspouse Beneficiary. 
(f)
Death While Performing Qualified Military Service. 
Notwithstanding any provision of 
the Plan to the contrary, and in accordance with Code section 401(a)(37), in the case of a Participant who dies 
while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code section 414(u)), the Participant’s survivors shall 
be entitled to any additional benefits (other than contributions relating to the period of qualified military 
service) provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed and then terminated employment on account of 
death. 
6.4
Determination of Benefits In Event of Disability 
 
In the event of a Participant’s Total 
and Permanent Disability prior to his or her Severance from 
Employment, all amounts credited to such Participant’s Aggregate Account shall become fully Vested, 
and
the 
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.7, shall, at the election of the Participant, 
distribute to such Participant all amounts credited to such Participant’s Aggregate Account as though he or she 
had retired. 
6.5

Except as provided in Section 6.6, any distribution to a 
Participant who has a Vested 
Aggregate Account balance which exceeds $5,000 shall require such Participant’s 
consent. 

(c)
Required Distributions. 
Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the 
distribution of a Participant’s benefits 
shall comply with Section 6.6. 

(d)
Direct Rollovers. 
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would 
otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Article VI, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the 
manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have all or a portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly 
to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. 
(i)
For purposes of this subsection, “eligible rollover distribution” 
shall mean any 
distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover 
distribution shall not include: (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments 
made (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or 
joint life expectancy) 
of the distributee and the distributee’s designated Beneficiary, 
or for a specified period of 
ten years or more; (ii) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code section 401(a)(9); 
and (iii) any amount that is distributed on account of hardship. 
A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an 
eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which 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 

 

 

 

37 
described in Code section 401(a) or Code section 403(a) or an annuity contract described in Code section 
403(b), that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the 
portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not 
so includible. 
(ii)
For purposes of this subsection, “eligible retirement plan” means any of the 
following that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution: an individual retirement account described 
in Code section 408(a), a Roth IRA described in Code section 408A provided the applicable conversion 
requirements are met, an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b), an annuity plan 
described in Code section 403(a), a qualified trust described in Code section 401(a), an annuity contract 
described in Code section 403(b), or an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, 
political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state 
which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. 
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, his 
or her Surviving Spouse or his or her Beneficiary. 
(iii)
For purposes of this subsection, “distributee” shall include an Employee or former 
Employee. 
In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s 
Surviving Spouse and the Employee’s or former 
Employee’s Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (as 
defined in Code section 414(p)) are distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or former spouse. 
The 
Beneficiary of a deceased Participant who is not the Surviving Spouse of the Participant is a distributee with 
respect to (A) a direct rollover to an individual retirement account or annuity under Code section 408(a) or Code 
section 408(b) established for the purpose of receiving such distribution and which will be treated as an 
inherited IRA pursuant to Code section 402(c)(11) and (B) a direct rollover to a Roth IRA described in Code 
section 408A, subject to the rules and provisions set forth in Code section 408A(e) and any related guidance 
issued by the Treasury Department thereunder, if 
such distribution otherwise meets the requirements set forth in 
(i) above. 
(iv)
For purposes of this subsection, “direct rollover” shall mean a payment by the 
Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 
(e)
Death Benefit. 
Except as provided in subsection (f), the death benefit payable pursuant to 
Section 6.3 shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in one lump-sum payment in cash as soon as 
practicable after the Participant’s death, subject to the rules of Section 6.6. 

(f)
Distribution of Company Securities. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the 
portion of a Participant’s Stock Bonus Plan Account invested in the Quaker Stock Fund shall be distributed in 
full shares of Company Securities; provided, however, that the Participant or Beneficiary may elect to take such 
distribution in cash in an amount realized from converting such full shares of Company Securities in the 
Participant’s Stock Bonus Plan Account to cash. 
Any fractional shares of common stock of the Company shall 
be distributed in cash. 
(g)
Qualified Reservist Distributions. 
Effective January 1, 2020, a Participant who is, by 
reason of being a member of a reserve component (as defined in section 101 of title 37 of the United States 
Code), ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period after 
September 11, 2001 may request a withdrawal of all or any part of his or her Elective Contributions and Catch-

6.6
Required Minimum Distributions 

(a)
Precedence. 
The requirements of this Section shall take precedence over any inconsistent 
provisions of the Plan to the extent required to satisfy Code section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations thereunder. 

The requirements set forth in this Section repeat the requirements set forth in Code section 401(a)(9), including 
requirements which may not apply to the Plan because, for example, the Plan does not permit a particular form 
of distribution or does not permit deferral beyond a particular date. 
Any such requirement shall not be read as 
giving a Participant or Beneficiary a form of benefit or deferral not otherwise provided under the Plan. 
(b)
Requirements of Regulations Incorporated. 
All distributions 
required under this Section 
shall be determined and made in accordance with the Regulations under Code section 401(a)(9). 
(c)
Time and Manner of Distribution. 

(i)
Required Beginning Date. 
The Participant’s entire interest shall be distributed, or 
begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. 
(ii)
Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. 
If the Participant dies before 
distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest shall 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 distributions to the Surviving Spouse shall 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 701⁄2, if later. 
(B)
If the Participant’s Surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s 
sole 
Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the Designated Beneficiary shall 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 shall 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 but before distributions to the Surviving Spouse 
begin, this paragraph (ii), other than paragraph (ii)(A), shall apply as if the Surviving Spouse were the 
Participant. 
For purposes of this paragraph (ii) and Section 6.6(e), unless paragraph (ii)(D) applies, distributions are 
considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. 
If paragraph (ii)(D) applies, distributions are 
considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the Surviving Spouse under paragraph 
(ii)(A). 
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 paragraph (ii)(A)), the date 
distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

39 
(iii)
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, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year 
distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 6.6(d) 
and Section 6.6(e). 
If the Participant’s interest 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. 
(d)
Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. 

(i)
Amount of Required Minimum Distributions For Each Distribution Calendar 
Year 
. 
During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that shall be distributed for each Distribution 
Calendar Year 
is the lesser of: 
(A)
The quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by 
the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Regulation 
section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the 
Participant’s age as of the Participant’s 
birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; 
or 
(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 Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the 
Participant’s and Spouse’s 
attained ages as of the Participant’s and Spouse’s 
birthday in the Distribution 
Calendar Year. 
(ii)
Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year 
of 
Participant’s Death. 
Required minimum distributions shall be determined under this subsection beginning with 
the first Distribution Calendar Year 
and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year 
that includes the 
Participant’s date of death. 
(e)
Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death. 
(i)
Death On or After Date Distributions Begin. 
(A)
Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. 
If the Participant dies on 
or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that shall 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 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 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 using the age of 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

40 
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 shall 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. 
(ii)
Death Before Date Distributions Begin. 
(A)
Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. 
If the Participant dies 
before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that shall 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 Section 6.6(e)(i). 
(B)
No Designated Beneficiary. 
If the Participant dies before the date 
distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of 
the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s 
entire interest shall be completed by December 31 of the 
calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. 
(C)
Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse are 
Required to Begin. 
If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s Surviving Spouse 
is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, 
and the Surviving Spouse dies before distributions are required 
to begin to the Surviving Spouse under Section 6.6(c)(ii)(A), this paragraph (ii) shall apply as if the Surviving 
Spouse were the Participant. 
(f)
Distribution Forms. 
This Section shall not entitle the Participant or beneficiary to any 
form of distribution not otherwise available under the Plan, or delay the date as of which any benefit is to be 
paid under any other provision of the Plan. 
(g)
Definitions. 
(i)
Designated Beneficiary. 
The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary 
under Section 1.8 and is the designated beneficiary under Code section 401(a)(9) and Regulation section 
1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4. 
(ii)
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 which 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 Section 6.6(c)(ii). 
The required minimum 
distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year 
shall 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, shall be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year. 
(iii)
Life Expectancy. 
Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in 
Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-9. 

 

 

41 
(iv)
Participant’s Account Balance. 
The balance in the Participant’s Aggregate 
Account as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year 
(“Valuation 
Calendar Year 
”) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures 
allocated to the Participant’s Aggregate Account 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. 
The balance 
in the Participant’s Aggregate Account for the Valuation 
Calendar Year 
includes any amounts rolled over or 
transferred to the Plan either in the Valuation 
Calendar Year 
or in the Distribution Calendar Year 
if distributed 
or transferred in the Valuation 
Calendar Year. 
(v)
Required Beginning Date. 
Effective for Participants who attain age 701⁄2 on or 
after January 1, 1997, a Participant’s Required Beginning Date shall mean the April 1 following the later of (i) 
the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 701⁄2 or (ii) the calendar year in which the Participant 
retires; provided, however, that the Required Beginning Date for a Participant who is a 5% owner (as defined in 
Code section 416(i)) at any time during the five Plan Year 
period ending in the calendar year in which he or she 
attains age 701⁄2, or in the case of a Participant who becomes a 5% owner during any subsequent Plan Year, 
shall be the April 1 following the calendar year in which he or she attains age 701⁄2. 
Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, a Participant (who is not a 5% owner) who attained age 701⁄2 on or after January 1, 1997, but prior to 
January 1, 2002, may elect to commence distribution on the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar 
year in which he or she attains age 701⁄2. 
6.7

Unless the Participant elects otherwise, the payments of benefits shall occur not later than (a) the 
60th day after the close of the Plan Year 
in which the Participant attains his or her Normal Retirement Age, (b) 
the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan, or (c) the date 
the Participant terminates his or her service with the Employer. 
A Participant’s failure to apply for benefits 
shall be deemed an election to defer commencement of benefits for purposes of this Section. 
6.8
Distribution for Minor Beneficiary 
 
In the event a distribution is to be made to a minor, the Administrator may direct that such 
distribution be paid to the legal guardian or, if none, to a parent of such Beneficiary or a responsible adult with 
whom the Beneficiary maintains his or her residence, 
or to the custodian for such Beneficiary under the 
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, if such is permitted by the laws of the state in which such Beneficiary resides. 

Such a payment to the legal guardian, custodian or parent of a minor Beneficiary shall fully discharge the 
Trustee, Employer, and Plan from further liability on account thereof. 
6.9
Location of Participant or Beneficiary Unknown 
 
In the event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a Participant or his or her 
Beneficiary hereunder shall, at his or her Normal Retirement Age, remain unpaid solely by reason of the 
inability of the Administrator, after sending a registered letter, return receipt requested, to the last known 
address, 
and after further diligent effort, to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or his or her 
Beneficiary, the amount so distributable shall be forfeited and used as provided in Section 4.7(f). 
In the event a 
Participant or Beneficiary is located subsequent to his or her benefit being reallocated, such benefit shall be 
restored. 
6.10
Limitations on Benefits and Distributions 
 
All rights and benefits, including elections, provided to a Participant in this Plan shall be subject 
to the rights afforded to any alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order. 
Furthermore, a 

 

 

 

 

42 
distribution to an alternate payee shall be permitted if such distribution is authorized by a qualified domestic 
relations order, even if the affected Participant has not reached the earliest retirement age under the Plan. 
For 
the purposes of this Section, “alternate payee,” “qualified domestic relations order,” and “earliest retirement 
age” shall have the meanings set forth under Code section 414(p). 
6.11

to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant only if: 
(i)
the Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, 
under all plans maintained by the Employer; 
(ii)
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); 
and 
(iii)
the Participant has provided to the Administrator a written representation that he 
or she has insufficient cash or liquid assets reasonably available to satisfy the need, and the Administrator does

1992 Discretionary Contributions shall have the right to elect, in writing on forms provided by the 
Administrator, to withdraw (i) 100%, (ii) 50%, or (iii) 0% of the Pre-1992 Discretionary Contributions allocated

Such permitted withdrawals shall be in cash and made as promptly as practicable after the 
end of the Plan Year 
in which the election is made. 
Such amount shall be adjusted (as of the last day of the 
calendar year preceding the date of the withdrawal) to the fair market value of the assets of the Fund attributable 
to such deferred, allocated amount. 
All elections under this Section shall be made on or before the November 
30 preceding the date of the withdrawal. 
Failure to timely file a written election with respect to the withdrawal 
privilege for the respective Plan Year 
shall constitute a binding election to waive the right of withdrawal. 
6.13
Loans 
(a)
In General. 
Loans to Participants shall be allowed if such loans comply with this Section. 

Subject to such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as may from time to time be adopted by the Administrator, 
the Trustee, 
upon instructions from the Administrator, may make a loan or loans to a Participant; provided, 
however, that a Participant may only have up to two loans outstanding at any time. 
All loans to Participants 
shall be considered investments of the Fund. 

(b)
Limits on Loans. 
A Participant’s loan (when added to the outstanding balance of all 
other loans from the Plan) shall be limited to the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of the 
highest outstanding balance of loans during the one-year period ending on the day before the loan is made over 
the outstanding balance of loans on the date the loan is made or (ii) 50% of the vested interest in the 
Participant’s Aggregate Account as of the date on which the loan is made. 
For purposes of this limit, all loans 
from all other plans maintained by the Employer or by any Affiliated Employer other entity shall be considered 
as a loan from the Plan. 
(c)
Quaker Stock Fund Not Available for Loans. 
Amounts invested in the Quaker Stock 
Fund shall be taken into account in calculating the amount of the loan, but such amounts may not be borrowed 
from the Plan.

Interest shall be charged at a reasonable rate equal to the prevailing rate of 
interest charged for similar loans by lending institutions in the community plus 1% on the date of the loan; 
provided, however, that in no event shall the interest rate charged be in violation of any applicable state usury 
law or 29 CFR §2550.408b-1(E). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a loan taken by a Participant

service. 
(g)
General Term of Loan. 
The Administrator shall determine the term of the loan (which, 
except as provided in subsection (h), may not be more than five years). 
To the extent that a Participant 
becomes 
entitled to payments of benefits or withdraws all or a portion of the Participant’s Aggregate Account, the 
payments or withdrawals, as the case may be, shall be immediately applied against the balance outstanding, 
including interest on the loan, and such amount shall then be deemed immediately due and payable. 
Loans shall 
be nonrenewable and nonextendable. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

44 
(h)
Term of Principal Residence Loan. 
To the extent 
that a loan to a Participant is made for 
the express purpose of acquiring or constructing a principal residence of the Participant, the loan shall generally 
be for a term the Administrator determines to be appropriate, but in no event shall the term exceed the 
maximum period of time prescribed by the Code and the rulings, announcements, and Regulations issued 
thereunder. 
(i)
Amortization. 
Loans shall be amortized in level payments not less frequently than 
quarterly. 
The level amortization requirement shall not apply (A) for a period, not longer than one year, that a 
Participant is on a bona fide leave of absence either without pay or at a rate of pay (after applicable employment 
tax withholdings) that is less than the amount of the installment payments required under the terms of the loan, 
and (B) during a period the Participant is performing service in the uniformed services (as defined in Chapter 43 
of Title 38 of the United States Code), both as described in Regulation section 1.72(p)-1. 

(j)
Offset on Default. 
Except as described in subsection (d), if a loan is not paid as and when 
due, such outstanding loan or loans may be deducted from any benefit which is or becomes payable to the 
borrower-Participant, and any other security pledged shall be sold by the Trustee at public or private sale as 
soon as is practicable after such default. 
The proceeds of any sale shall first be applied to pay the expenses of 
conducting the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 
and then to pay any sums due from the borrower-
Participant to the Fund, with such payment to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. 
The 
Participant shall remain liable for any deficiency, and any surplus remaining shall be paid to the Participant. 
(k)
Repayments. 
All loan repayments shall be allocated to the designated investment 
categories in accordance with the Participant’s investment designation applicable at the time of the repayment.

Participants and their Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Code, and ERISA. 
(b)
Funding Policy and Method. 
The Company shall establish a “funding policy and 
method,” i.e., it shall determine whether the Plan has a short-run need for liquidity (e.g., to pay benefits) or

shall appoint a qualified person to do so. 
The Company or its delegate shall communicate such needs and goals 
to the Trustee, who shall coordinate such Plan needs with its investment policy. 
The communication of such a 
funding policy and method shall not, however, constitute a directive to the Trustee as to investment of the Trust 
Fund. 
Such funding policy and method shall be consistent with the objectives of this Plan and with the 
requirements of Title I of ERISA. 
(c)
Periodic Review of Fiduciaries. 
The Company shall periodically review the performance 
of any Fiduciary or other person to whom duties have been delegated or allocated by it under the provisions of 
this Plan or pursuant to procedures established hereunder.

review by the Company or by a qualified person specifically designated by the Company, through day-to-day 
conduct and evaluation, or through other appropriate ways.

shall function as the Administrator. 
7.3
Allocation and Delegation of Responsibilities 
 
If more than one person is appointed as Administrator, the responsibilities of each Administrator 
may be specified by the Company and accepted in writing by each Administrator. In the event that no such 
delegation is made by the Company, the Administrators may allocate the responsibilities among themselves, in 
which event the Administrators shall notify the Company and the Trustee in writing of such action and specify 
the responsibilities of each Administrator. 
The Trustee thereafter shall accept and rely upon any documents 
executed by the appropriate Administrator until such time as the Company or the Administrators file with the 
Trustee a written revocation of such designation.

to assist any Participant regarding his or her rights, benefits, or elections available under

Initial Claim. 
A Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary (“claimant”) who believes he or she 
is entitled to benefits hereunder, may claim those benefits by submitting to the Administrator a written 
notification of any claim of right to such benefits. 
The Administrator shall make all determinations as to the 
right of any person to receive benefits under the Plan. 
If such benefits are wholly or partially denied, the 
Administrator shall notify the claimant of the denial of the claim. 
(b)
Notice of Denial of Claim. 
Any notice of denial of a claim shall: 
(i)
be in writing and sent to the claimant by registered or certified mail (or by means 
of an electronic medium that satisfies the requirements of 29 CFR §2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i), (iii), and (iv)); 
(ii)
be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant; 
(iii)
contain (A) the specific reason or reasons for the denial of the claim, (B) specific 
reference to the pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which the denial is based, (C) a description of the required 
documentation and procedures necessary to perfect the claim, along with an explanation of why such material 
or information is necessary, (D) an explanation of the claims review procedure, including time limits applicable 
to the procedure, and (E) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of the 
Act following an adverse determination on review; and 
(iv)
be given to a claimant within 90 days after receipt of his or her claim by the 
Administrator unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing of the claim. 
If such 
extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant 
prior to the termination of such 90-day period, and such notice shall indicate the special circumstances which 
make the postponement appropriate and the date the determination is expected. 
In no event may the extension 
exceed a total of 180 days from the date of the original receipt of the claim. 
(c)
Procedure for Appeal. 
In case of a denial as outlined in Section 7.10(b), the claimant or 
his or her representative shall have the opportunity to appeal to the Administrator for review thereof by 
requesting such review in writing to the Administrator; provided, however, that such written request must be 
received by the Administrator (or his or her delegate to receive such requests) within 60 days after receipt by 
the claimant of written notification of the denial or limitation of the claim. 
The claimant or his or her 
representative shall have a right to review all pertinent documents and submit comments in writing. 
The 
claimant or his or her duly authorized representative shall also be provided, upon request and without charge, 
reasonable access to and copies of, all documents, records, 
or other information relevant to the claim. 
The 
claimant or his or her duly authorized representative shall also be permitted to submit to the Administrator 
documents, records, and other information relating to the claim. 
(d)
Decision on Appeal. 
No later than 60 days after its receipt of the request for review, the 
Administrator shall render a decision in writing (or by means of an electronic medium that satisfies the 
requirements of 29 CFR §2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i), (iii), and (iv)) stating specific reasons therefor and citing 
specific Plan references. If special circumstances require extension, and upon prior written notice to the 
claimant, the Administrator’s decision may be given within 120 days after receipt of the request for review. The 

49 
extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date that the 
determination on review is expected. 

 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrator is a committee that holds regularly 
scheduled meetings at least quarterly, an individual’s 
request for review shall be acted upon at the meeting 
immediately following the receipt of the individual’s request, unless such request is filed within 30 days 
preceding such meeting. 
In such instance, the decision shall be made no later than the date of the second 
meeting following receipt of such request. 
If special circumstances (such as a need to hold a hearing) require a 
further extension of time for processing a request, a decision shall be rendered not later than the third meeting of 
the Administrator following the receipt of such request for review and written notice of the extension shall be 
furnished to the individual prior to the commencement of the extension. The extension notice shall indicate the 
special circumstances requiring an extension and the date that the determination on review will be made. 
The 
Administrator shall notify the claimant or his or her representative of the determination as soon as possible, but

502(a) of the Act. 
Claims for benefits under the Plan may be filed in writing with the Administrator. Written 
notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the application is 
filed. In the event the claim is denied, the reasons for the denial shall be specifically set forth in the notice in 
language calculated to be understood by the claimant, pertinent provisions of the Plan shall be cited, and, where 
appropriate, an explanation as to how the claimant can perfect the claim shall be provided. In addition, the 
claimant shall be furnished with an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure. 

 
(e) 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a claim that involves a determination regarding disability 
shall be subject to the special rules for disability claims set forth in the regulations under Section 503 of ERISA. 
7.11
Limitations on Actions 
(a)
A claimant (as defined in Section 7.10) shall have no right to bring any action at law or in 
equity regarding a claim for benefits, unless and until he or she exhausts his or her rights to review under 
Section 7.10 in accordance with the time frames set forth in those procedures. 
(b)
No action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover benefits under the Plan later than 
two years from the date of the final adverse benefit determination of the claimant’s appeal of the denial of his or

No such amendment shall cause any part of the Trust assets to be used for or 
diverted to any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries, except as 
provided in Section 9.6(b). 
(ii)
No such amendment shall cause any reduction in the amount of any Participant’s 
accrued benefit. 
For purposes of this paragraph, an amendment which has the effect of (A) eliminating or 
reducing an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy, or (B) eliminating an optional form of benefit, 
with respect to benefits attributable to service before the amendment, shall be treated as reducing accrued 
benefits except as provided in Code section 411(d)(6) and the Regulations thereunder. 
(iii)
No such amendment shall change any vesting schedule unless, in the case of an 
Employee who is a Participant on: 
(A)
The date the amendment is adopted; or 
(B)
The date the amendment is effective, if later, 

the vested percentage of such Participant’s right to his or her Aggregate Account is not less than such 
percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. 
Furthermore, no such amendment 
shall otherwise change any vesting schedule unless each Participant having three or more Years 
of Service is 
permitted to elect, in accordance with the Code and applicable Regulations, to have the vested percentage of his 
or her Aggregate Account determined under the Plan without regard to such amendment; provided, however, 
that no election shall be given to any Participant whose vested percentage under the Plan as amended cannot at 
any time be less than such percentage determined without regard to such amendment. 
(b)
By the Administrator. 
The Administrator shall have the right to amend the Plan at any 
time, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1(a), except to the extent the Board of Directors of the 
Company has retained amendment authority. 
The Board has retained amendment authority with respect to (i) 
any increase in the rate of Matching Contributions under the Plan (except as provided in Section 4.4(a)), (ii) any 
increase in the rate of Nonelective Contributions above 3% of Compensation, (iii) any new type of employer 
contribution under the Plan, (iv) any increase in the amount of any benefit payable to a terminated Participant or 
Beneficiary, 
and (v) any amendment authorizing one or more new groups of employees to become Participants 
in the Plan if the aggregate number of Participants added is 5% or more of the number of Participants at the 
beginning of the Plan Year, 
except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such amendment is required 
under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement between employee representatives (within the meaning of 
Code section 7701(a)(46)) and the Employer under which retirement benefits were the subject of good faith 
bargaining between the parties. 
The Administrator shall supply the Secretary of the Board of Directors of the

adopting such amendment.

Upon the full termination of the Plan, the Company 
shall direct the distribution of the assets of the Fund to Participants in a manner which is consistent with and 
satisfies the provisions of Section 6.5, except that Participant consent shall not be required if not required under 
applicable Regulations. 
Distributions to a Participant shall be made in cash or through the purchase of 
irrevocable nontransferable deferred commitments from an insurer. 
Except as permitted by Regulations, the 
termination of the Plan shall not result in the reduction of section 411(d)(6) protected benefits. 
Notwithstanding 
the foregoing, amounts held by a Participant’s Aggregate Account that are attributable to Nonelective 
Contributions for a Plan Year 
beginning on or after January 1, 2008 or Elective Contributions shall not be 
distributed on termination of the Plan unless (i) distribution is permitted under another Section of the Plan (e.g., 
on account of Severance from Employment), or (ii) distribution may be made pursuant to Regulation section 
1.401(k)-1(d)(4) (or any successor thereto). 
8.3
Merger or Consolidation 
 
This Plan and Trust may be merged or consolidated with, or its assets and/or liabilities may be

benefit, such proportion of the amount distributed as shall equal such loan 
indebtedness shall be paid by the Trustee to the Trustee or the Administrator, 
at the direction of the

401(a)(13) or section 206 of ERISA as described in such rulings and regulations.
