 Exhibit 10.1 
 July 29, 2008 
 Mr. Chris Ayers 
 16311 Kyle Crest Trail 
 Cypress, Texas 77433 
  

	 	Re:	Final Separation Agreement 

 Dear Chris: 
 As we have discussed, you have informed us that you wish to resign your employment with Wyman-Gordon. In order to facilitate an amicable separation and to
assist you in this period of transition, Wyman-Gordon is offering you the severance arrangement set forth in this Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”). 
  

	 	1.	Employment Continuation. 

 Effective July 25,
2008, you resigned as an officer of Precision Castparts Corp. (“PCC”) and as a director and officer of the subsidiaries for which you serve as a director or officer. Upon execution of this Agreement, PCC will cause Wyman-Gordon Forgings,
Inc. (“Wyman-Gordon”) to continue your employment from July 25, 2008 through December 31, 2008 (the “Termination Date”), subject to earlier termination pursuant to paragraph 7, below (the “Continuation
Period”). You will have no formal duties or authorities during the Continuation Period to PCC and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Company”) except to make yourself available upon
request of your successor or Mark Donegan to provide information or assistance as they reasonably determine, and to fulfill such reasonable requests in a professional and workmanlike manner and in compliance with Company policies. 
  

	 	2.	Resignation of Officer and Director Positions. 

 You have agreed to resign your positions as an officer of PCC and as an officer and director of the Company, such resignations to be effective July 25, 2008. 
  

	 	3.	Wages and Benefits. 

 (A) You will
receive your current salary and benefits (defined as health, life and disability insurance coverage, 401(k) participation, your current company-leased vehicle and Employee Stock Purchase Plan participation; hereafter the “Benefits”) during
the Continuation Period, except that you agree (i) you will not be eligible to receive a bonus in respect of fiscal 2009, (ii) you will not be eligible for additional option grants in fiscal 2009, (iii) during the

 Continuation Period you will use any accrued vacation time you have as of the date of this Agreement;
(iv) you will not accrue any vacation or sick leave during the Continuation Period; and (v) you agree that the change of control agreement between you and the Company dated May 2, 2005 is terminated in full as of July 25, 2008.

 (B) Your existing group health insurance coverage continues through the end of the last month of your employment. After
that time, you may be eligible for continuation coverage under a federal law that is referred to as “COBRA.” Further information concerning COBRA coverage options and rates will be provided to you in separate correspondence. COBRA coverage
may be available to you at your own expense regardless of whether you enter into this Agreement. 
 (C) As a terminating
employee, you should be aware that your Company-provided basic life insurance coverage will end on the last day of the month in which your employment terminates. You may have certain rights to convert to an individual life policy. Further
information regarding conversion of your life insurance benefits to an individual policy is provided by the Company’s life insurance carrier. In addition, your long-term disability insurance coverage ends when your employment terminates. You
will retain any vested rights you may have under the Company 401(k) Plan. Your rights and benefits are governed by the terms of that Plan. You can contact Fidelity direct at 1-800-835-5095 to request a distribution, if you wish. Alternately, you may
leave your account balance in place with our plan under Fidelity. 
 (D) The amounts in your account under the PCC Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan will be paid to you pursuant to the provisions of such plan. Please refer to the plan at http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/79958/000119312508124576/dex1015.htm for more details. You have vested accrued
retirement benefits under the Wyman-Gordon Company Retirement Income Plan (the “Wyman-Gordon Retirement Plan”) and under the Precision Castparts Corp. Retirement Plan (the “PCC Retirement Plan”). Your rights and benefits are
governed by the terms of each plan. Under those plans, written statements describing vested accrued benefits are routinely sent after employment termination, participants’ benefit payments ordinarily start at normal or early retirement age and
pre-retirement death benefits may be payable. Your age and service combined are not sufficient to qualify for any vested accrued benefit under the Precision Castparts Corp. Supplemental Executive Retirement Program – Level One Plan Ongoing
(“SERP”). Upon employment termination, your SERP participation will end with no benefit payable. If you have any questions about these plans, you can contact Tammy Aber (Wyman-Gordon Retirement Plan) at 281-856-3207, Beth Wachtman (PCC
Retirement Plan) at 503-772-6628 or Steve Blackmore (SERP) at 503-417-4808. 
 (E) We agree that during the Continuation
Period you will not be subject to PCC’s Stock Ownership Guidelines or its Pre-Clearance and Blackout Period Procedures. Please be aware that these are internal guidelines and have no impact on laws governing insider trading which you will be
subject to so long as you have material nonpublic information about the

 Company. Also note that you are currently subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 which has provisions on “short swing” profits. Depending on your trading activity, Section 16(b) may or may not be an issue for you. You should consult your advisors on the matter. 
  

	 	4.	Confidential Information. 

 You acknowledge and
re-affirm as a term of this Agreement, your continuing obligations to the Company pursuant to the Employee Agreement which you entered into on January 30, 2003 and the Non-Disclosure and Inventions Agreement which you entered into on
July 13, 1999. A copy of those Agreements is enclosed and they are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. You further acknowledge that you have a duty as a former officer and employee of the Company to keep confidential all proprietary
or confidential information obtained by you during the course of your employment with the Company. During the course of your employment, you have had access to and have used substantial amounts of Company confidential and proprietary
information, including, but not limited to, manufacturing processes and procedures, customer information, strategic planning information, acquisition planning and strategy information, human resources information, company policies, procedures
and objectives, Company financial information and other Company operating information. This information is considered also to be trade secrets of the Company. Accordingly, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of all such information
when you leave the Company’s employment. You understand that your disclosure of this information to anyone may subject you and any other user of that information to legal and equitable claims by the Company. You agree to maintain all such
information on a confidential basis and not to disclose it to any person except when required by law, e.g., upon subpoena by a government agency. You agree to promptly notify the Company or its attorneys whenever you receive a summons,
subpoena, or other request for such information and to allow the Company reasonable time to contest the disclosure of such information before any required disclosure is made.
  

	 	5.	Cooperation; Non-solicitation, Non-disparagement and Non-competition. 

 You have requested and the Company has agreed to formulate the separation arrangement set forth in this Agreement on terms that will permit you to remain as an employee of Wyman-Gordon through the November 2008
vesting dates under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan to which you are a party. All outstanding options will continue to be governed by the terms of your stock option award agreements and the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. Please refer to the plan at
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/79958/000104746904020259/a2138155zex-10_14.htm for additional information. We estimate that the value of the option and salary and benefit continuation provisions of this Agreement (the
“Consideration”) will amount to approximately $2 million, assuming the price of PCC’s common stock is the same when you exercise your November 2008 vesting options as it is on the date of this Agreement. The Company’s agreement
to continue your employment during the Continuation Period is made in exchange for your agreements as follows: 

 Mr. Chris Ayers

truthful information and assistance to the Company in connection with matters about which you have knowledge or in defense of threatened, ongoing or future litigation, claims, administrative or arbitration proceedings against the Company.

 (B) You agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of yourself or any business, person or entity
whatsoever and in any capacity whatsoever solicit or encourage any employees of the Company to leave employment or take away the employment of any employees of the Company during the period from the date of this Agreement until the date that is
two years from the date you cease to be an employee of Wyman-Gordon (the “Non-solicitation Period”). You understand that doing so will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
 (C) You agree that during the Non-solicitation Period you will not in any way disparage or harm the name or reputation of the Company or
its past or present officers, directors, employees, or agents in either their personal or official capacities. You understand that doing so will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. The Company agrees that during the Non-solicitation
Period its officers, directors and executive management will not in any way disparage or harm your reputation in any way. 
 (D) You agree that for a one-year period after the Termination Date (hereafter the “Restricted Period”), you will not, directly or indirectly engage in, carry on, or provide services to (paid or unpaid) or otherwise assist or be
interested economically in a Competitive Business (including any business in formation or planning) within the Restricted Territory, including by serving as officer, director, manager, employee, consultant, recruiter, owner, partner, stockholder,
joint venturer, member or principal, or in any other similar capacity whatsoever, for any such person or entity. The foregoing sentence shall not prohibit you from holding in the aggregate up to five percent (5%) of any securities of a company
that is quoted on a recognized stock exchange or automated quotation system. You acknowledge and agree that your performance of services in relation to any Competitive Business during the Restricted Period would inevitably require you to use and/or
disclose Company confidential and/or proprietary information.

 With respect to General Electric, Honeywell and United Technologies, this non-competition provision shall not prohibit you from becoming employed by or associated with any subsidiary, division or business unit of these three entities which
is not involved in the aerospace casting or forging, energy, power generation or gas turbine business, so long as in your employment or association you have no involvement whatsoever in any such business during the Restricted Period. With respect to
The Carlyle Group, this non-competition provision shall not prohibit you from becoming employed by or associated with this entity or any of its portfolio companies (excluding Chromalloy which is specifically included in the list above) during the
Restricted Period so long as you have no involvement whatsoever in any business (including the formation, planning, acquisition or investment in any business) that competes, or could compete, with the Company’s Business as defined in

 (ii) For purposes hereof, “Restricted Territory” means any geographic area in which the
Company conducted Business in fiscal 2008; “Business” means aerospace casting or forging, energy, power generation or gas turbine business (including but not limited to manufacturing, sales and raw material supply activities) of the

 disparagement and non-competition under this Agreement would be inadequate and that the Company will,
in addition to whatever remedies it may have at law or in equity under this Agreement, be entitled to immediate injunctive relief from actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. 
 (B) You acknowledge that you will receive consideration from the Company, including but not limited to the Consideration, in exchange for
your agreements set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5. You further acknowledge that the Company will incur harm as a result of any breach by you of these agreements and the Company shall be entitled to recover its damages suffered as a result of any

Company the economic consideration (including the Consideration) you received during the Continuation Period. 
 (C)
If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of Paragraphs 4, 5 or 6 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall
have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and
that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. 
  

	 	7.	Exclusive Employment and Early Termination. 

 You
may resign your employment with the Company at any time during the Continuation Period, at which time your salary and Benefit continuation will end. The Company acknowledges that during the Continuation Period you may seek alternative employment.
You agree that you will notify PCC at such time as you agree to future employment, and that you will not commence employment during the Continuation Period without first notifying PCC. If you accept alternate employment during the Continuation
Period, your salary and Benefit continuation will end upon the commencement of your new employment. The Company may terminate your employment with Wyman-Gordon at any time during the Continuation Period in the event that you violate this Agreement.
Any termination of employment during the Continuation Period shall result in a corresponding termination of salary and Benefits applicable to the remaining portion of the Continuation Period. If your employment terminates before the November 2008
vesting dates, the options that would otherwise vest will expire. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of employment. 
  

	 	8.	Mutual Release of Claims. 

 In exchange for the
promises and consideration described in this Agreement, the parties hereby fully release and forever discharge each other and the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliated and related entities, and all such entities’ officers, directors,

the ratio that each Member’s Salary bears to the total of all eligible Members’ Salary, but not in excess of 3% of each Members’ Salary. 

  

	 	  	Step Two:    If the plan is Top-Heavy, any contributions remaining after the allocation in Step One will be allocated to each eligible Member’s account in
the ratio that each eligible Members’ Salary for the Plan Year in excess of the Integration Level bears to the total excess Salary of all eligible Members, but not in excess of 3% of each Members’ Salary in excess of the Integration Level.

  

	 	  	Step Three:    Any contributions remaining after the allocation in Step Two will be allocated to each eligible Members’ account in the ratio that the sum of
each eligible Members’ Salary and Salary in excess of the Integration Level bears to the sum of all eligible Members’ Salary and Salary in excess of the Integration Level, but not in excess of the Profit Sharing Maximum Disparity Rate
times the sum of the Member’s Salary and Salary in excess of the Integration Level.

another qualified plan or simplified employee pension (as defined in Section 408(k) of the Code) maintained by the Employer that provides for permitted disparity (or imputes disparity), Employer contributions will be allocated to the count of
each Member who is entitled to an allocation in the ratio that such Member’s total Salary bears to the total Salary of all Members. The Profit Sharing Maximum Disparity Rate is 5.7%. If the Integration Level selected is equal to the Taxable
Wage Base, the applicable percentage is 2.7% if the Plan is Top-Heavy and 5.7% if the Plan is not Top-Heavy. The Taxable Wage Base is the contribution and benefits base in effect under Section 230 of the Social Security Act in effect as of the
beginning of the Plan Year.

 ARTICLE I 
 PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS 
 Section 1.1 Introduction 
 This Plan and Trust, as evidenced hereby, and the applicable Adoption Agreement and Trust Agreement(s), are designed and intended to qualify in form as a qualified profit
sharing plan and trust under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any other applicable provisions of law including, without limitation, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended. 
 Any plan restated hereunder shall be effective as of the later of January 1, 2002 or the original effective date of the plan.

 Except as otherwise provided herein and consistent with Internal Revenue Service Notice 2004-84 and related guidance concerning the remedial amendment and
approval cycle for master and prototype defined contribution plans, effective January 1, 2002 (including any amendments through January 31, 2006), and subject to IRS approval, the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to
provide as follows: 
 Section 1.2 Plan Definitions 
 The following words and phrases as used in this Plan shall have the following meanings: 
  

	(A)	“Account” means the Plan account established and maintained in respect of each Member pursuant to Article V, to which Account shall be allocated, as applicable, the
Member’s after-tax amounts, 401(k) amounts, Employer matching amounts, basic amounts, supplemental amounts, profit sharing amounts, qualified non-elective contribution amounts, rollover amounts, and funds directly transferred to the Plan.

  

	(B)	‘‘Acquired Employees” means Employees who become Employees as a result of a transaction under Code Section 410(b)(6)(C). Such Employees will be excluded
during the period beginning on the date of the transaction and ending on the last day of the first Plan Year beginning after the date of the transaction. A transaction under Code Section 410(b)(6)(C) is an asset or stock acquisition, merger or
similar transaction involving a change in the employer of the Employees of a trade or business. 

  

	(C)	“Actual Deferral Percentage Test Safe Harbor” means the method described in Section 3.15 (A) of Article III for satisfying the actual deferral percentage
test of 401(k)(3) of the Code. 

  

	(D)	“Actual Deferral Percentage Test Safe Harbor Contributions” means Employer matching contributions and non-elective contributions described in Section 3.15
(A) (1) of Article III. 

  

	(E)	“Adoption Agreement” means the separate document by which the Employer has adopted the Plan and specified certain of the terms and provisions hereof. If any term,
provision or definition contained in the Adoption Agreement is inconsistent with any term, provision or definition contained herein, the one set forth in the Adoption Agreement shall govern. The Adoption Agreement shall be incorporated into and form
an integral part of the Plan. 

  

	(F)	 “Beneficiary” means the person or persons designated to receive any amount payable under the Plan upon the death of a Member. Such designation may
be made or changed only by the Member on a form provided by, and filed with, the Third Party Administrator prior to his death. If the Member is not survived by a Spouse and if no Beneficiary is designated, or if the designated Beneficiary 

  

 1 

	 	 
predeceases the Member, then any such amount payable shall be paid to such Member’s estate upon his death. 

  

	(G)	“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Employer adopting the Plan. 

  

	(H)	“Break in Service” means: 

  

	 	(1)	Where an Employer has elected, in its Adoption Agreement, to use the hours of service method for eligibility and/or vesting, a Plan Year during which an individual has not completed
more than 500 Hours of Employment, as determined by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the IRS Regulations. 

  

	 	(2)	Solely for purposes of determining whether a Break in Service has occurred, an individual shall be credited with the Hours of Employment which such individual would have completed
but for a maternity or paternity absence, as determined by the Plan Administrator in accordance with this Paragraph, the Code and the applicable regulations issued by the DOL and the IRS; provided, however, that the total Hours of Employment so
credited shall not exceed 501 and the individual timely provides the Plan Administrator with such information as it may require. 

  

	 	(3)	Hours of Employment credited for a maternity or paternity absence shall be credited entirely (i) in the Plan Year in which the absence began if such Hours of Employment are
necessary to prevent a Break in Service in such year, or (ii) in the following Plan Year. For purposes of this Paragraph, maternity or paternity absence shall mean an absence from work by reason of the individual’s pregnancy, the birth of
the individual’s child or the placement of a child with the individual in connection with the adoption of the child by such individual, or for purposes of caring for a child for the period immediately following such birth or placement. In any
case in which the Plan is unable to determine the Hours of Employment that an Employee would have earned, eight (8) Hours of Employment per day of such absence shall be credited, except that the total number of hours treated as Hours of
Employment under this paragraph by reason of any such pregnancy or placement shall not exceed 501 hours. 

  

	 	(4)	Where an Employer has elected to use the elapsed time method for eligibility and/or vesting service, a Period of Severance of at least 12 consecutive months.

  

	(I)	“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as now in effect or as hereafter amended. All citations to sections of the Code are to such sections as they may
from time to time be amended or renumbered. 

  

	(J)	“Commencement Date” means the date on which an Employer begins to participate in the Plan. 

  

	(K)	“Contribution Determination Period” means the Plan Year, fiscal year, or calendar or fiscal quarter, as elected by an Employer, upon which eligibility for and the
maximum permissible amount of any Profit Sharing contribution, as defined in Article III, is determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Article VI, Contribution Determination Period means the Plan Year. 

  

	(L)	“Disability” means a Member’s Disability as defined in Article VII, Section 7.5. 

  

	(M)	“DOL” means the United States Department of Labor. 

  

	(N)	“Earned Income” means the net earnings from self-employment in the trade or business with respect to which the plan is established, for which the personal services
of the individual are a material income-producing factor. Net earnings will be determined without regard to items not included in gross income and the deductions allocable to such items. Net earnings are reduced by contributions made by the Employer
to a qualified plan to the extent deductible under Code Section 404. In addition, net earnings shall be determined with regard to the deduction allowed to the taxpayer by Code Section 164(f), for taxable years beginning after
December 31, 1989. 

  

 2 

	(O)	“Employee” means any person in Employment, and who receives Compensation from, the Employer, and any Leased Employee within the meaning of Code
Section 414(n)(2). The term “Leased Employee” means any person (other than an Employee of the recipient) who pursuant to an agreement between the recipient and any other person (“leasing organization”) has performed services
for the recipient (or for the recipient and related persons determined in accordance with Code Section 414(n)(6)) on a substantially full time basis for a period of at least one year, and such services are performed under primary direction or
control by the recipient. Contributions or benefits provided a Leased Employee by the leasing organization which are attributable to services performed for the recipient employer shall be treated as provided by the recipient employer.

 A Leased Employee shall not be considered an Employee of the recipient if: (i) such Employee is covered by a
money purchase pension plan providing: (1) a nonintegrated employer contribution rate of at least 10 percent of Compensation, as defined in Code Section 415(c) (3), but including amounts contributed pursuant to a salary reduction agreement
which are excludable from the Employee’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B) or 403(b), (2) immediate participation, and (3) full and immediate vesting; and (ii) Leased Employees do not constitute more
than 20 percent of the recipient’s non-highly compensated work force. 
 An Owner-Employee means an individual who is a sole
proprietor, or who is a partner owning more than 10 percent of either the capital or profits interest of the partnership. 
  

	(P)	“Employer” means the entity named in the Adoption Agreement and any other entity which, together therewith, constitutes an affiliated service group (as defined in
Code Section 414(m)(2)), any corporation which, together therewith, constitutes a controlled group of corporations as defined in Code Section 1563, and any other trade or business (whether incorporated or not) which, together therewith,
are required to be aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), 414(c), or 414(o). For purposes of the definition of “Salary” in Section 1.2(II) and Article III of the Plan, “Employer” shall refer only to the applicable entity
that is participating in the Plan. 

  

	(Q)	“Employment” means service with an Employer. 

  

	(R)	“Enrollment Date” means the date on which an Employee becomes a Member as provided under Article II. 

  

	(S)	“ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as now in effect or as hereafter amended. 

  

	(T)	“Fiduciary” means any person who (i) exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the management of the Plan or control with respect to the
management or disposition of the assets thereof, (ii) renders any investment advice for a fee or other Compensation, direct or indirect, with respect to any moneys or other property of the Plan, or has any discretionary authority or
responsibility to do so, or (iii) has any discretionary authority or responsibility in the administration of the Plan, including any other persons (other than trustees) designated by any Named Fiduciary to carry out fiduciary responsibilities,
except to the extent otherwise provided by ERISA. 

  

	(U)	“Highly Compensated Employee” means for Plan Years beginning after November 1, 2002, an Employee (i) who is a 5-percent Owner at any time during the
look-back year or determination year, or (ii)(a) who is employed during the determination year and who during the look-back year received Compensation from the Employer in excess of $85,000 (as adjusted pursuant to the Code and Regulations for
changes in the cost of living), and (b) if elected by the Employer was in the top-paid group of Employees for such look-back year. 

 For purposes of this Section 1.2(U), Compensation means Compensation as defined in Section 11.1(B)(12)(b). The determination year shall be the Plan Year. The look-back year shall be the 12-month period
immediately preceding the determination year. The Employer may, however, as indicated in the Adoption Agreement, make a calendar year data election. If a calendar year data election is made, the look- back year shall be the calendar year ending
within the Plan Year for purposes of determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee (other than for 5% owners). 
  

 3 

 The top-paid group shall consist of the top 20 percent of the Employees when ranked on the basis of
Compensation paid by the Employer. 
 The determination of who is a Highly Compensated Employee will be made in accordance with Code
Section 414(q) and the IRS Regulations thereunder. The determination of who is a highly compensated former Employee is based on the rules applicable to determining Highly Compensated Employee status as in effect for that determination year, in
accordance with Section 1.414(q)-1T, A-4 of the temporary Income Tax Regulations and IRS Notice 97-45. In determining whether an Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee for years beginning in 1997, the amendments to Section 414(q) stated
above are treated as having been in effect for years beginning in 1996. 
  

	(V)	“Hour of Employment” means: 

  

	 	(1)	Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for an Employer. These hours will be credited to the Employee for the computation
period in which the duties are performed; and 

  

	 	(2)	Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, by an Employer on account of a period of time during which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the
employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including Disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence. No more than 501 Hours of Employment will be credited under this Subsection
(2) for any single continuous period (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation period). Hours under this Subsection (2) will be calculated and credited pursuant to Section 2530.200b-2 of the DOL Regulations which is
incorporated herein by this reference; and 

  

	 	(3)	Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by an Employer. The same Hours of Employment will not be credited both under
Subsection (1) or (2), as the case may be, and under this Subsection (3). These hours will be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which
the award, agreement or payment is made. 

 Hours of Employment will be credited for employment with other members of an
affiliated service group (under Code Section 414(m)), a controlled group of corporations (under Code Section 414(b)), or a group of trades or businesses under common control (under Code Section 414(c)), of which the Employer is a
member, and any other entity required to be aggregated with such Employer pursuant to Code Section 414(o). Hours of Employment will also be credited for any individual considered an Employee for purposes of the Plan under Code
Section 414(n) or Code Section 414(o). 
 Solely for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, “Hour of
Employment” shall include service performed by an individual for an Employer or members of an affiliated service group (under Code Section 414(m)), a controlled group of corporations (under Code Section 414(b)), or a group of trades
or businesses under common control (under Code Section 414(c)), of which the Employer is a member, during the period such individual is not a member of a class of Employees otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan. 
  

	(W)	“Investment Manager” means any Fiduciary other than a Trustee or Named Fiduciary who (i) has the power to manage, acquire or dispose of any asset of the Plan;
(ii) is (a) registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940; (b) is a bank, as defined in such Act, or (c) is an insurance company qualified to perform the services described in clause
(i) hereof under the laws of more than one state of the United States; and (iii) has acknowledged in writing that he is a Fiduciary with respect to the Plan. 

  

	(X)	“IRS” means the United States Internal Revenue Service. 

  

 4 

	(Y)	“Leave of Absence” means an absence authorized by an Employee’s Employer and approved by the Plan Administrator, on a uniform basis, in accordance with Article
XI. 

  

	(Z)	“Member” means an Employee enrolled in the membership of the Plan under Article II. Notwithstanding the above, Member shall also mean any Employee who, in
accordance with Article III, Section 3.3 and the terms of the Plan, makes a rollover contribution to the Plan. Such Employee shall be considered a Member for purposes of such Rollover contribution(s) only and shall not share in the rights and
privileges of those Members enrolled in the membership of the Plan in accordance with Article II. 

  

	(AA)	“Month” means any calendar month. 

  

	(BB)	“Named Fiduciary” means the Fiduciary or Fiduciaries named herein or in the Adoption Agreement who jointly or severally have the authority to control and manage the

	(DD)	“Normal Retirement Age” means the Member’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement. 

  

	(EE)	“Period of Service” means the aggregate of all periods commencing with the Employee’s first day of Employment or reemployment with the Employer and ending on
the date a Break in Service begins. The first day of Employment or reemployment is the first day the Employee performs an Hour of Employment. An Employee will also receive credit for any Period of Severance of less than 12 consecutive months,
provided that the Employee returns to Employment within 12 months of the Employee’s retirement, quit or discharge or, if earlier, within 12 months of the date the Employee was first absent from service for any other reason.

  

	(FF)	“Period of Severance” means a continuous period of time during which the Employee is not employed by the Employer. Such period begins on the date the Employee
retires, quits or is discharged, or if earlier, the 12 month anniversary of the date on which the Employee was otherwise first absent from service. 

 In the case of an individual who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons, the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the first anniversary of the first day of such absence shall not constitute a Break
in Service. For purposes of this paragraph, an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (a) by reason of the pregnancy of the individual, (b) by reason of the birth of a child of the individual, (c) by
reason of the placement of a child with the individual in connection with the adoption of such child by such individual, or (d) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.

	(KK)	 “Roth Elective Deferral” is an elective deferral that is (a) designated irrevocably by the Member at the time of the cash or deferred election
as a Roth elective deferral that is being made in lieu of all 

  

 5 

	 	 
or a portion of the pre-tax elective deferrals the Member is otherwise eligible to make under the Plan; and (b) treated by the Employer as includible in
the Member’s income at the time the Member would have received the amount in cash if the Member had not made a cash or deferred election. 

  

	(LL)	“Salary” means regular basic monthly salary or wages, exclusive of special payments such as overtime, bonuses, fees, deferred Compensation (other than pre-tax
elective deferrals pursuant to a Member’s election under Article III), severance payments, and contributions by the Employer under this or any other plan (other than before-tax contributions made on behalf of a Member under a Code
Section 125 cafeteria plan and, effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, qualified transportation fringe benefits under Code Section 132(f), unless the Employer specifically elects to exclude such contributions
or benefits). Commissions shall be included at the Employer’s option within such limits, if any, as may be set by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement and applied uniformly to all its commissioned Employees. In addition, Salary may also

Year which commences prior to the first anniversary of the Employee’s Employment commencement date, the Employee will be credited, for eligibility purposes, with two Years of Eligibility Service. Where an Employer designates an eligibility
waiting period of less than 12 months, an Employee must, for purposes of eligibility, complete a required number of hours (measured from his date of Employment and each anniversary thereafter) which is arrived at by multiplying the number of months
in the eligibility waiting period requirement by 83 1/3; provided, however, if an Employee completes at least 1,000 Hours of
Employment within the 12 month period commencing on his Employment commencement date or during any Plan Year commencing after such Employment commencement date, such Employee will be treated as satisfying the eligibility service requirements.

 ARTICLE II 
 PARTICIPATION AND MEMBERSHIP 
 Section 2.1 Eligibility Requirements 
 The Employer may elect as a requirement for eligibility to participate in the Plan (i) the completion of a service period equal to any number of months not to exceed
12 consecutive months, or (ii) the completion of a service period equal to one or two 12-consecutive-month periods, and/or (iii) if the Employer so elects, it may adopt a minimum age requirement from age 18 to age 21. Such election shall
be made and reflected on the Adoption Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Employer that adopts the 401(k) feature under Section 3.10, the eligibility requirements under such feature shall not exceed the period described
in clause (i) above, and, at the election of the Employer, attainment of age 21 as described in clause (iii) above. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to establish as an eligibility requirement (as a minimum service requirement, minimum age requirement, or both) for Employer matching contributions, Employer basic contributions, Employer
supplemental contributions, and/or Employer Profit Sharing contributions (i) the completion of any number of months not to exceed 12 consecutive months, or (ii) the completion of one or two 12-consecutive-month periods, and/or
(iii) if the Employer so elects, it may adopt a minimum age requirement from age 18 to age 21. Such election shall be made and reflected in the Adoption Agreement. 
 In implementing the eligibility service periods described above, (i) if an Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement an eligibility service crediting method based on the hours of service method, the
satisfaction of the eligibility service requirement shall be dependent on the completion of a Year of Eligibility Service and (ii) if an Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement an eligibility service crediting method based on the elapsed
time method, the satisfaction of the eligibility service requirement shall be dependent on the completion of the requisite Period of Service. 
 If a
non-vested Member terminates Employment without a vested interest in his Account derived from Employer contributions, Years of Employment (or, as applicable, Years of Service) before a period of consecutive Breaks in Service will not be taken into
account for eligibility purposes if the number of consecutive Breaks in Service in such period equals or exceeds the greater of five or the aggregate number of Years of Employment (or, as applicable, Years of Service) before such break. If a
Member’s service is disregarded pursuant to this paragraph, such Member will be treated as a new Employee for eligibility purposes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in determining whether a Member has a vested interest in his
Account derived from Employer contributions for purposes of Code Sections 410(a)(5)(D) and 411(a)(6)(D), the Member’s 401(k) deferrals shall be taken into account and treated as derived from Employer contributions. 
 An Employer may, at its option, subject to the provisions of the Plan, adopt different Plan features and provisions for different definable groups of Employees,
including Employees acquired pursuant to a merger or acquisition. The Employer must demonstrate that the Plan continues to operate in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Code and IRS Regulations following the adoption of different Plan
features for different definable groups of Employees. 
 Section 2.2 Exclusion of Certain Employees 
 To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, the following Employees may be excluded from participation in the Plan: 
  

	 	i.	Employees not meeting the age and service requirements; 

  

	 	ii.	Employees who are included in a unit of Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the Employee representatives and one or more Employers if there is evidence
that retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between such Employee representatives and such Employer(s). For this purpose, the term “Employee representative” does not include any organization where more than one-half
of the membership is comprised of owners, officers and executives of the Employer; 

  

 9 

	 	iii.	Employees who are non-resident aliens and who receive no earned income from the Employer which constitutes income from sources within the United States; and

  

	 	iv.	Acquired Employees as defined in Article 1, Section 1.2(B). 

  

	 	v.	Employees who are not regular full time or part time Employees (Flex Staff Employees). 

  

	 	vi.	Leased Employees within the meaning of Code Section 414(n)(2). 

  

	 	vii.	Short Term Employees (i.e. Employees hired under a written agreement which precludes Membership in the Plan and provides for a specific period of Employment not to exceed one year).

  

	 	viii.	Employees described in Section 2.4 or included in any other ineligible job classifications set forth in the Adoption Agreement. 

 Section 2.3 Waiver of Eligibility Requirements 
 The Employer, at
its election, may waive the eligibility requirement(s) for participation specified above for (i) all Employees, or (ii) all those employed on or up to 12 months after its Commencement Date under the Plan. Subject to the requirements of the
Code, the eligibility waiting period shall be deemed to have been satisfied for an Employee who was previously a Member of the Plan. 
 Any Employee whose
Employment commences after the expiration date of the Employer’s waiver of the eligibility requirement(s), if any, shall be enrolled in the Plan in accordance with the eligibility requirement(s) specified in the Adoption Agreement. 

Section 2.4 Exclusion of Non-Salaried Employees 
 The
Employer, at its election, may exclude non-salaried (hourly paid) Employees from participation in the Plan, regardless of the number of Hours of Employment such Employees complete in any Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this
Section 2.4 and all purposes under the Plan, a non-salaried Employee that is hired following the adoption date of the Plan by the Employer, but prior to the adoption of this exclusion by the Employer, shall continue to be deemed to be an
Employee and will continue to receive benefits on the same basis as a salaried Member, despite classification as a non-salaried Employee. 
 Section 2.5 Commencement of Participation 
 Every eligible Employee (other than non-salaried or such other Employees who, at the
election of the Employer, are excluded from participation) shall commence participation in the Plan on the later of: 
  

	(1)	The Employer’s Commencement Date, or 

  

	(2)	The first day of the month or calendar quarter (as designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) coinciding with or next following his satisfaction of the eligibility
requirements as specified in the Adoption Agreement. 

  

	(3)	The earlier of either the first day of the Plan Year or the first day of the seventh month of the Plan Year coincident with or next following the satisfaction of the eligibility
requirements specified in the Adoption Agreement. 

 The date that participation commences shall be hereinafter referred to as the Enrollment
Date. Notwithstanding the above, no Employee shall under any circumstances become a Member unless and until his enrollment application is filed with, and accepted by, the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall notify each Employee of his
eligibility for membership in the Plan and shall furnish him with an enrollment application in order that he may elect to make or receive contributions on his behalf under Article III at the earliest possible date consonant with this Article.

  

 10 

 If an Employee fails to complete the enrollment form furnished to him, the Plan Administrator shall do so on his behalf.
In the event the Plan Administrator processes the enrollment form on behalf of the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have elected not to make any contributions and/or elective deferrals under the Plan, if applicable. 
 In the event a Member is no longer a member of an eligible class of Employees and becomes ineligible to participate but has not incurred a break in service, such
Employee will participate immediately upon returning to an eligible class of Employees. If such Member incurs a break in service, eligibility will be determined under the break in service rules of the Plan. 
 In the event an Employee who is not a member of an eligible class of Employees becomes a member of an eligible class, such Employee will participate immediately if such
Employee has satisfied the minimum age and service requirements and would have otherwise previously become a Member. 
 Section 2.6 Termination of
Participation 
 Membership under all features and provisions of the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) a Member’s termination of
Employment, or (b) his death. 
  

 11 

 ARTICLE III 
 CONTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 3.1 Contributions by Members 
 If the Adoption Agreement so provides, each Member may elect to make non-deductible, after-tax contributions under the Plan, based on increments of 1% of his Salary,
provided the amount thereof, when aggregated with the amount of any pre-tax elective deferrals, does not exceed the limit established by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. All such after-tax contributions shall be separately accounted for,
nonforfeitable and distributed with and in addition to any other benefit to which the Member is entitled hereunder. A Member may change his contribution rate as designated in the Adoption Agreement, but reduced or suspended contributions may not
subsequently be made up. 
 Section 3.2 Elective Deferrals by Members 
 If the Adoption Agreement so provides, each Member may elect to make pre-tax elective deferrals (401(k) deferrals) under the Plan, based on increments of 1% of his Salary provided the amount thereof, when
aggregated with the amount of any after-tax contributions, does not exceed the limit established by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement and in no event exceeds the limits of Code Sections 401(k), 402(g), 404 and 415, except to the extent Catch-up
contributions are permitted under the Plan in accordance with Code Section 414(v) and Section 3.15 of the Plan. Alternatively, a Member may elect to contribute for a Plan Year a dollar amount which does not exceed the maximum amount
permitted under this Section 3.2 or the limit established by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement for such Plan Year and a pro-rata portion shall be withheld from each payment of Salary to such Member for the balance of the Plan Year
remaining after the election takes effect. All such 401(k) deferrals shall be separately accounted for, nonforfeitable and distributed under the terms and conditions described under Article VII with and in addition to any other benefit to which the
Member is entitled hereunder. A Member may change his 401(k) deferral rate or suspend his 401(k) deferrals as designated in the Adoption Agreement, but reduced or suspended deferrals may not subsequently be made up. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Member may make 401(k) deferrals during any Plan Year in excess of $11,000 as adjusted for cost-of living under Code
Section 402(g). In the event that the aggregate amount of such 401(k) deferrals for a Member exceeds the limitation in the previous sentence, the amount of such excess, increased by any income and decreased by any losses attributable thereto,
shall be refunded to such Member no later than the April 15 of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the 401(k) deferrals were made. If a Member also participates, in any Plan Year, in any other plans subject to the limitations set
forth in Code Section 402(g) and has made excess 401(k) deferrals under this Plan when combined with the other plans subject to such limits, to the extent the Member, in writing designates to the TPA any 401(k) deferrals under this Plan as
excess deferrals by no later than the March 1 of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the 401(k) deferrals were made, the amount of such designated excess, increased by any income and decreased by any losses attributable thereto,
shall be refunded to the Member no later than the April 15 of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the 401(k) deferrals were made. 
 If so
elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a Member may make a special election to defer a percentage of any bonuses received during the Plan Year subject to limits of Code Sections 401(k), 402(g), 404 and 415. 
 If so elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, a Member may designate all or a portion of
his or her elective deferrals to the Plan as Roth 401(k) contributions, in accordance with Code Sections 402A and 401(k) and the applicable regulations and guidance issued thereunder. 
 Contributions and withdrawals of Roth elective deferrals will be credited and debited to the Roth elective deferral account maintained for each Member. The Plan will maintain a record of the amount of Roth elective
deferrals in each Member’s Account. Gains, losses, and other credits or charges must be separately allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to each Member’s Roth elective deferral account and the Member’s other accounts under
the Plan. No contributions other than Roth elective deferrals and properly attributable earnings will be credited to each Member’s Roth elective deferral account. 
  

 12 

 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary, and in accordance with IRS Regulation
Section 1.401(k)-1(a)(3)(iii),
 401(k) deferrals may not be made prior to the Member’s performance of services with respect to which the contributions are made or, if earlier, when the Compensation that is subject to the 401(k) deferral
election would be currently available. 
 Section 3.3 Transfer of Funds and Rollover Contributions by Members 
 Each Member may elect to make, directly or indirectly, a rollover contribution to the Plan of amounts held on his behalf in (i) an Employee benefit plan qualified
under Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a), (ii) an individual retirement account or annuity as described in Code Section 408(d)(3), (iii) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), excluding after-tax contributions,
(iv) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by state, political subdivision of a state, or an agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state. All such amounts shall be certified in form and
substance satisfactory to the Plan Administrator by the Member as being all or part of an Eligible Rollover Distribution or a “rollover contribution” within the meaning of Code Sections 402(c)(4) or 408(d)(3). Such rollover amounts, along
with the earnings related thereto, will be accounted for separately from any other amounts in the Member’s Account. A Member shall have a nonforfeitable vested interest in all such rollover amounts. 
 Unless otherwise provided by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan will accept a rollover contribution to a Roth elective deferral account only if it is a
Direct Rollover from another Roth elective deferral account. 
 The Employer may, at its option, permit Employees who have not satisfied the eligibility
requirements designated in the Adoption Agreement to make a rollover contribution to the Plan. 
 The Trustee of the Plan may also accept a direct transfer
of funds, which meets the requirements of Section 1.411(d)-4 of the IRS Regulations, from a plan which the Trustee reasonably believes to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) in which an Employee was, is, or will become, as the case may
be, a Member. If the funds so directly transferred are transferred from a retirement plan subject to Code Section 401(a)(11), then such funds shall be accounted for separately and any subsequent distribution of those funds, and earnings
thereon, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 which are applicable when an Employer elects to provide an annuity option under the Plan. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement not to permit Rollover contributions to the Plan of either an Eligible Rollover Distribution or a “rollover contribution”
within the meaning of Code Sections 402(c) (4) or 408(d) (3). 
 Section 3.4 Employer Contributions—General 
 The Employer may elect to make regular or discretionary contributions under the Plan. Such Employer contributions may be in the form of (i) matching contributions,
(ii) basic contributions, (iii) safe harbor CODA contributions and/or (iv) profit sharing contributions as designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement and/or (i) supplemental contributions and/or (ii) qualified
nonelective contributions as permitted under the Plan. Each such contribution type shall be separately accounted for by the TPA. 
 Section 3.5
Employer Matching Contributions 
 The Employer may elect to make regular matching contributions under the Plan. Such matching contributions on behalf of
any Member shall be conditioned upon the Member making after-tax contributions under Section 3.1 and/or 401(k) deferrals under Sections 3.2 and 3.10. 
 If so adopted, the Employer shall contribute under the Plan on behalf of each of its Members an amount equal to a percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of the Member’s after-tax contributions and/or 401(k)
deferrals not in excess of a maximum percentage as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement (in increments of 1%) of his Salary. The percentage elected by the Employer shall be based on a formula not to exceed 2005 or in accordance with
one of the schedules of matching contribution formulas listed below, and must be uniformly applicable to all Members.

 Section 3.6 Employer Discretionary Matching Contributions 
 The Employer may elect to make discretionary matching contributions under the Plan. Such discretionary matching contributions shall be conditioned upon the Member making
after-tax contributions under Section 3.1 and/or 401(k) deferrals under Section 3.2 and 3.10. 
 If so adopted, the Employer shall in its sole
discretion, make a contribution on behalf of each of its Members an amount equal to the percentage, if any, specified in the Adoption Agreement, of the Member’s after-tax and 401(k) deferrals. The Employer may, in the Adoption Agreement, elect
to impose a maximum percentage of Member after-tax contributions and/or 401(k) deferrals which will be eligible for purposes of such Employer discretionary matching contributions. 
 Section 3.7 Employer Basic Contributions 
 The Employer may elect to make regular basic contributions under the
Plan. Such basic contributions on behalf of any Member shall not be conditioned upon the Member making after-tax contributions and/or 401(k) deferrals under this Article III. If so adopted, the Employer shall contribute to the Plan on behalf of each
Member (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) an amount equal to a percentage not to exceed 15% (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) in increments of 1% of the Member’s Salary. The percentage elected by the
Employer shall be uniformly applicable to all Members. The Employer may elect, if basic contributions are made on behalf of its Members on a monthly basis, to restrict the allocation of such basic contribution to those Members who were employed with
the Employer on the last day of the month for which the basic contribution is made. 
 Section 3.8 Supplemental Contributions by Employer

 An Employer may, at its option, make a supplemental contribution under Formula (1) or (2) below: 
  

	Formula (1)	A uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer) of each Member’s contributions not in excess of a maximum percentage (if the Employer elects to impose such a
maximum) of the Member’s Salary which were received by the Plan during the Plan Year with respect to which the supplemental contribution relates. If the Employer elects to make such a supplemental contribution, it shall be made on or before the
last day of the second month in the Plan Year following the Plan Year described in the preceding sentence on behalf of all those Members who were employed with the Employer on the last working day of the Plan Year with respect to which the
supplemental contribution relates. 

  

	Formula (2)	 A uniform dollar amount per Member or a uniform percentage (limited to a specific dollar amount, if elected by the Employer) of each Member’s Salary for
the Plan Year (or, at the election of the Employer, the Employer’s fiscal year) to which the supplemental contribution relates. If the Employer elects to make such a supplemental contribution, it shall be made within the time prescribed by law,
including extensions of time, for filing of the Employer’s federal income tax return on behalf of all those Members who have completed 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year (or fiscal year), were employed with the Employer on the last
working day of the Plan Year (or the fiscal year), or retired, died or terminates Employment due to a Disability during the Plan Year (or fiscal year) to which the supplemental contribution relates. The Employer may, at its option, elect to make a
contribution under this paragraph to only those Members whose Salary is less than an amount to be specified by the Employer to 

  

 14 

	 	 
the extent that such Salary limit is less than the dollar amount under Code Section 414(q) for such year. The percentage contributed under this Formula
(2) shall be limited in accordance with the Employer’s matching formula and basic contribution rate, if any, under this Article such that the sum of the Employer’s Formula (2) supplemental contribution plus all other Employer
contributions under this Article shall not exceed 15% of Salary for such year. 

 Section 3.9 The Profit Sharing Feature

 An Employer may, at its option, adopt the Profit Sharing Feature as described herein, subject to any other provisions of the Plan, where applicable.
This Feature may be adopted either in lieu of, or in addition to, any other Plan Feature contained in this Article III. The Profit Sharing Feature is designed to provide the Employer a means by which to provide discretionary contributions on behalf
of Employees eligible under the Plan. 
 If this Profit Sharing Feature is adopted, the Employer may contribute on behalf of each of its eligible Members, on
an annual (or at the election of the Employer, quarterly) basis for any Plan Year or fiscal year of the Employer (as the Employer shall elect), a discretionary amount not to exceed the maximum amount allowable as a deduction to the Employer under
the provisions of Code Section 404, and further subject to the provisions of Article X. 
 Any such profit sharing contribution must be received by the
Trustee within the time prescribed by law, including extensions of time, for filing of the Employer’s federal income tax return following the close of the Contribution Determination Period on behalf of all those Members who are entitled to an
allocation of such profit sharing contribution as set forth in the Adoption Agreement. For purposes of making the allocations described in this paragraph, a Member who is on a Type 1 nonmilitary Leave of Absence (as defined in Sections 1.2(W) and
10.8(B)(1)) or a Type 4 military Leave of Absence (as defined in Sections 1.2(W) and 10.8(B)(4)) shall be treated as if he were a Member who was an Employee in Employment on the last day of such Contribution Determination Period. 
 Profit sharing contributions shall be allocated to each Member’s Account for the Contribution Determination Period at the election of the Employer, in accordance
with one of the following options: 
  

			
	 Profit Sharing Formula 1 –
	  	In the same ratio as each Member’s Salary during such Contribution Determination Period bears to the total of such Salary of all Members.
		
	 Profit Sharing Formula 2 –
	  	In the same ratio as each Member’s Salary for the portion of the Contribution Determination Period during which the Member satisfied the Employer’s eligibility requirement(s) bears to
the total of such Salary of all Members.

  
 The Employer may integrate the Profit Sharing
Feature with Social Security in accordance with the following provision. The annual (or quarterly, if applicable) profit sharing contributions for any Contribution Determination Period (which period shall include, for the purposes of the following
maximum integration levels provided hereunder where the Employer has elected quarterly allocations of contributions, the four quarters of a Plan Year or fiscal year) shall be allocated to each Member’s Account at the election of the Employer,
in accordance with one of the following options: 
  

			
		
	 Profit Sharing Formula 3 –
	  	In a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary during the Contribution Determination Period (the “Base Contribution
Percentage”), plus a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary for the Contribution Determination Period in excess of the Social Security Taxable Wage Base for such Contribution
Determination Period (the “Excess Contribution Percentage”).
		
	 Profit Sharing Formula 4 –
	  	In a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary for the portion of the Contribution Determination Period during which the Member
satisfied

		  	the Employer’ eligibility requirement(s), if any, up to the Base Contribution Percentage for such Contribution Determination Period, plus a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer
in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary in excess of the Social Security Taxable Wage Base for the portion of the Contribution Determination Period during which the Member satisfied the Employer’s eligibility requirement(s),
equal to the Excess Contribution Percentage.
		
	 Profit Sharing Formula 5 –
	  	In a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary during the Contribution Determination Period (the “Base Contribution
Percentage”), plus a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary for the Contribution Determination Period in excess of the Integration Level (as specified by the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement).
		
	 Profit Sharing Formula 6 –
	  	In a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary for the portion of the Contribution Determination Period during which the Member
satisfied the Employer’s eligibility requirement(s), if any (the “Base Contribution Percentage”), plus a uniform percentage (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement) of each Member’s Salary for the portion of the
Contribution Determination Period during which the Member satisfied the Employer’s eligibility requirement(s), if any, in excess of the Integration Level (as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement).
		
	 Profit Sharing Formula 7 –
	  	Subject to the overall permitted disparity limit, Profit Sharing contributions shall be allocated as follows:
		
		  	 Step One:    If the Plan is Top-Heavy (See Article XI, Section 10.2), contributions will be allocated to
each Member’s Account in the ratio that each Member’s Salary bears to the total of all Members’ Salary, but not in excess of 3% of each Member’s Salary.

		
		  	 Step Two:    If the Plan is Top-Heavy, any contributions remaining after the allocation in Step One will be
allocated to each Member’s Account in the ratio that each Member’s Salary for the Plan Year in excess of the Integration Level bears to the total excess Salary of all Members, but not in excess of 3% of each Member’s Salary in excess
of the Integration Level.

		
		  	 Step Three: Any contributions remaining after the allocation in Step Two will be allocated to each Member’s Account in
the ratio that the sum of each Member’s Salary and Salary in excess of the Integration Level bears to the sum of all Members’ Salary and Salary in excess of the Integration Level, but not in excess of the Profit Sharing Maximum Disparity
Rate times the sum of the Member’s Salary and Salary in excess of the Integration Level.

		
		  	 Step Four:   Any remaining Employer contributions will be allocated to each Member’s Account in the ratio that
each Member’s Salary bears to the total of all Members’ Salary.

  

 16 

			
		
		  	For purposes of this Profit Sharing Formula 7, Annual Overall Permitted Disparity Limit shall mean, notwithstanding the preceding Step One through Step Four, for any Plan Year that the Plan
benefits any Member who benefits under another qualified plan or simplified Employee pension (as defined in Code Section 408(k)) maintained by the Employer that provides for permitted disparity (or imputes disparity), Employer contributions
will be allocated to the Account of each Member who is entitled to an allocation in the ratio that such Member’s total Salary bears to the total Salary of all Members. The Profit Sharing maximum disparity rate is 5.7%. If the Integration Level
selected is equal to the Taxable Wage Base, the applicable percentage is 2.7% if the Plan is Top-Heavy and 5.7% if the Plan is not Top-Heavy. The Taxable Wage Base is the contribution and benefits base in effect under Section 230 of the Social
Security Act in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year.

 The Excess Contribution Percentage described in Profit Sharing Formulas 3, 4, 5 and 6 above may not exceed the
lesser of (i) the Base Contribution Percentage, or (ii) the greater of (1) 5.7% or (2) the percentage equal to the portion of the Code Section 3111(a) tax imposed on employers under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act
(as in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year) which is attributable to old-age insurance. For purposes of this subparagraph, “Compensation” as defined in Code Section 414(s) shall be substituted for “Salary” in
determining the Excess Contribution Percentage and the Base Contribution Percentage. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, for
purposes of Profit Sharing Formulas 5 and 6, the Integration Level is the amount of Salary specified in the Adoption Agreement at or below which the rate of contributions or benefits (expressed in each case as a percentage of such Salary) provided
under the Plan is less than the rate of contributions or benefits (expressed in each case as a percentage of such Salary) provided under the Plan with respect to Salary above such level. For purposes of Formula 5, the Adoption Agreement must specify
an Integration Level in effect for the Plan Year for each Member. No Integration Level in effect for a particular year may exceed the contribution and benefit base (Taxable Wage Base) under Section 230 of Social Security Act (Code
Section 3121(a)(1)) in effect for the first day of the Plan Year. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may not adopt the Social Security
integration options provided above if any other integrated defined contribution or defined benefit plan is maintained by the Employer during any Contribution Determination Period. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to receive an allocation of Employer Profit Sharing Contributions, the Employer may require, as provided in the Employer’s Adoption Agreement,
that the Member complete 1,000 Hours of Employment during the Contribution Determination Period or retire, die or become totally and permanently disabled prior to the last day of the Contribution Determination Period. 
 Section 3.10 The 401(k) Feature 
 The Employer may, at its
option, adopt the 401(k) Feature described hereunder and in Section 3.2 above for the exclusive purpose of permitting its Members to make 401(k) deferrals to the Plan. 
 The Employer may make, apart from any matching contributions it may elect to make, Employer qualified nonelective contributions as defined in Section 1.401(k)(6) of the IRS Regulations. The amount of such
contributions shall not exceed 50% of the Salary of all Members eligible to share in the allocation when combined with all Employer contributions (including 401(k) elective deferrals) to the Plan for such Plan Year. Allocation of such contributions
shall be made, at the election of the Employer, to the Accounts of (i) all Members, or (ii) only Members who are not Highly Compensated Employees. Allocation of such contributions shall be made, at the election of the Employer, in the
ratio (i) which each eligible Member’s Salary for the Plan Year bears to the total Salary of all eligible Members for such Plan Year, or (ii) which each eligible Member’s Salary not in excess of a fixed dollar amount specified by
the Employer for the Plan Year bears to the total Salary of all eligible Members taking into account Salary for each such Member not in excess of the specified dollar amount. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, such
contributions shall be subject to the same vesting requirements and distribution restrictions as Members’ 401(k) deferrals and shall not be conditioned on any election or contribution of the Member under the 401(k) feature. Any such
contributions 

  

 17 

 
must be made on or before the last day of the second month after the Plan Year to which the contribution relates. Further, for purposes of the actual
deferral percentage or actual contribution percentage tests described below, the Employer may apply (in accordance with applicable Regulations) all or any portion of the Employer qualified nonelective contributions for the Plan Year toward the
satisfaction of the actual deferral percentage test. Any remaining Employer qualified nonelective contributions not utilized to satisfy the actual deferral percentage test may be applied (in accordance with applicable Regulations) to satisfy the
actual contribution percentage test. 
 Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996, the actual deferral percentages for Highly
Compensated Employees shall, in accordance with the Code and IRS Regulations, satisfy either (i) or (ii) as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	Prior Year Testing 

 Notwithstanding any other
provision of this 401(k) Feature, the actual deferral percentage for a Plan Year for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year and the prior year’s actual deferral percentage for Members who were Non-Highly Compensated
Employees for the prior Plan Year must satisfy one of the following tests: 
  

	 	(a)	the actual deferral percentage for a Plan Year for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the prior year’s actual deferral percentage
of those Members who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or 

  

	 	(b)	the actual deferral percentage for a Plan Year for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the prior year’s actual deferral percentage
for Members who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the actual deferral percentage for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the prior year’s actual deferral
percentage for Members who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees in the prior Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage points. This determination shall be made in accordance with the procedure described in Section 3.11 below.

 For the first Plan Year that the Plan permits any Member to make elective deferrals and this is not a successor plan, for
purposes of the foregoing tests, the prior year’s Non-Highly Compensated Employees’ actual deferral percentage shall be three percent (3%) unless the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to use the current Plan Year’s
actual deferral percentage for these Members. The Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to change from the Prior Year Testing method to the Current Year Testing method in accordance with the Code and IRS Regulations. 
  

	 	(i)	Current Year Testing 

 If elected by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement, the actual deferral percentage tests in (a) and (b) above, will be applied by comparing the current Plan Year’s actual deferral percentage for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year
with the current Plan Year’s actual deferral percentage for Members who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such year. Any change to use the prior year testing method shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg.
Section 1.401(k)-2(c). 
 A Member is a Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he meets the definition of a Highly
Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. Similarly, a Member is a Non-highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he does not meet the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. 
 Section 3.11 Determining the Actual Deferral Percentages 
 For
purposes of this 401(k) Feature, the actual deferral percentage for a Plan Year means, for a specified 

  

 18 

 
group of Members for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Member in such group) of (a) the amount of 401(k) deferrals
(including, as provided in Section 3.10, any Employer qualified nonelective contributions) made to the Member’s Account for the Plan Year, to (b) the amount of the Member’s Compensation. For this purpose, Compensation shall mean
total taxable Compensation as reported on Form W-2, including elective deferrals, in accordance with Section 11.1(B)(i)(b). Alternatively, where specifically elected by the Employer, Compensation shall be recognized for only that part of the
Plan Year during which the Member was eligible to participate in the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.11 to the contrary, and in accordance with IRS Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv) and 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v), no qualified
nonelective contributions shall be taken into account in determining the actual deferral percentage for a Plan Year for a Non-highly Compensated Employee under the Plan to the extent such contributions exceed for such Non-highly Compensated Employee
the greater of (i) 5% of the Non-highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation (as defined in Code Section 414(s) and (ii) the product of (A) two (2) times the “Plan’s representative contribution rate”
(within the meaning, as applicable, of IRS Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv) and Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v)) and (B) the Non-highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation (as defined in Code Section 414(s)). 

An Employee’s actual deferral percentage shall be zero if no 401(k) deferral (or, as provided in Section 3.10, Employer qualified nonelective contribution)
is made by him or on his behalf for such applicable Plan Year. If the Plan and one or more other plans which include cash or deferred arrangements are considered as one plan for purposes of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b), the cash or deferred
arrangements included n such plans shall be treated as one arrangement for purposes of this 401(k) Feature. 
 The TPA shall determine as of the end of the
Plan Year whether one of the actual deferral percentage tests specified in Section 3.10 above is satisfied for such Plan Year. This determination shall be made after first determining the treatment of excess deferrals within the meaning of Code
Section 402(g) under Section 3.2 above. 
 The amount of excess contributions for a Highly Compensated Employee will be determined, in accordance
with Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(ii), in the following manner: The actual deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest actual deferral percentage is reduced to equal the actual deferral percentage of the
Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest actual deferral percentage. This process is repeated until the actual deferral percentage test would be satisfied. In determining the necessary reduction in a Highly Compensated Employee’s
actual deferral percentage as provided above, if a lesser reduction would enable the Plan to satisfy the actually deferral percentage test, then only such lesser reduction is used to determine the highest permitted actual deferral percentage for a
Highly Compensated Employee. 
 For purposes of the actual deferral test, 401(k) deferrals of a Highly Compensated Employee that exceed the limits of Code
Section 402(g) shall be taken into account. 
 In the event that neither of such actual deferral percentage tests is satisfied, the TPA shall, to the
extent permissible under the Code and the IRS Regulations, refund the excess contributions for the Plan Year in the following order of priority: by (i) refunding such amounts deferred by the Member or a pre-tax basis which were not matched by
his Employer (and any earnings and losses allocable thereto), (ii) refunding such amounts deferred by the Member which the Member designates as Roth Elective Deferrals, and (iii) refunding amounts deferred for such Plan Year by the Member
(and any earnings and losses allocable thereto), and, to the extent permitted under the Code and applicable IRS Regulations, forfeiting amounts contributed for such Plan Year by the Employer with respect to the Member’s 401(k) deferrals that
are returned pursuant to this Paragraph (and any earnings and losses allocable thereto). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.11 to the contrary, and in accordance with IRS Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv), the income
allocable to the excess contributions to be refunded shall be equal to the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year in question and, as applicable, for the “gap period” following the close of the Plan Year and ending on the date that is
seven (7) days preceding the distribution date. The Plan shall determine the allocable income in accordance with IRS Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv)(C) or (D) or, in accordance with IRS Regulation
Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv)(B), any reasonable method for computing the income allocable to the excess contributions. The distribution of such excess contributions shall be made to Highly Compensated Employees to the extent practicable before
the 15th day of the third month immediately following the Plan Year for which such excess contributions were made, but in no event later than the end of the Plan Year following such Plan Year or, in the case of the termination of the Plan in
accordance with Article XI, no later than the end of the twelve-month period immediately following the date of such termination. 
  

 19 

 The distribution of excess contributions will include the income allocable thereto. The income allocable to the excess
contributions includes, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv), income for the Plan Year for which the excess contributions were made and for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date that is seven
(7) days prior to the date of distribution. 
 For purposes of this 401(k) Feature, “excess contributions” means, with respect to any Plan
Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of 401(k) deferrals (and any other amounts contributed by the Employer that are taken into account in determining the actual deferral percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year)
(collectively, “401(k) amounts”) made to the Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over the maximum amount of such deferrals that could be made by such Members without violating the requirements described above. The
excess contributions to be distributed shall be determined by reducing 401(k) amounts made by or on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest 401(k) amounts for the Plan Year until such
amount is reduced to be equal to the Highly Compensated Employee with the next largest 401(k) amount. The procedure described in the preceding sentence shall be repeated until all excess contributions have been eliminated and, as applicable,
refunded. 
 Where an Employer has elected, in the Adoption Agreement, to allow Member contributions, a Member may treat excess contributions allocated to
him as an amount distributed to the Member and then contributed by the Member to the Plan. Recharacterized amounts will remain nonforfeitable. Amounts may not be recharacterized by a Highly Compensated Employee to the extent that such amount in
combination with other Employee contributions made by that Employee would exceed any stated limit under the Plan on Employee contributions. 
 Recharacterization must occur no later than 2 1/2 months after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess contributions arose and is deemed to occur no earlier than the date the last Highly Compensated Employee is informed in writing
of the amount recharacterized and the consequences thereof. Recharacterized amounts will be taxable to the Member for the Member’s taxable year in which the Member would have received them in cash. 
 Section 3.12 Determining the Actual Contribution Percentages 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.12, effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996, the actual contribution percentage for the Plan Year for Highly Compensated Employees shall, in accordance with
the Code and IRS Regulations, satisfy either (i) or (ii) as follows: 
  

	(i)	Prior Year Testing 

 The actual contribution
percentage for a Plan Year for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the prior Plan Year’s actual contribution percentage for Members who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year
multiplied by 1.25, or 
 The actual contribution percentage for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not
exceed the prior year’s actual contribution percentage for Members who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year multiplied by two (2), provided that the actual contribution percentage for Members who are Highly Compensated
Employees does not exceed the actual contribution percentage for Members who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees in the prior Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage points. 
 For the first Plan Year this Plan permits any Member to make after-tax contributions pursuant to Section 3.1, provides for Employer matching
contributions (pursuant to Section 3.5), or both, and this is not a successor plan, for purposes of the foregoing tests, the prior Plan Year’s Non-Highly Compensated Employees’ actual contribution percentage shall be three percent
(3%) unless the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to use the current Plan Year’s actual contribution percentage for these Members. 
  

 20 

	(ii)	Current Year Testing 

 If elected by the Employer in
the Adoption Agreement, the actual contribution percentage tests in (a) and (b), above, will be applied by comparing the current Plan Year’s actual contribution percentage for Members who are Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year
with the current Plan Year’s actual contribution percentage for Members who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for such year. Any change to use the prior year testing method shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg.
Section 1.401(m)-2(c). 
 For purposes of this Article III, the actual contribution percentage for a Plan Year means for a specified group of Employees,
the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in such group) of (A) the sum of (i) Member after-tax contributions credited to his Account for the Plan Year, (ii) Employer matching contributions and/or supplemental
contributions under Formula 1 credited to his Account as described in this Article for the Plan Year, and (iii) in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the IRS Regulations, 401(k) deferrals (and, as provided in Section 3.10, any
Employer qualified nonelective contributions) credited to his Account, to (B) the amount of the Member’s Compensation. For this purpose, Compensation shall mean total taxable Compensation as reported on Form W-2, including elective
deferrals, in accordance with Section 11.1(B)(i)(6). Alternatively, where specifically elected by the Employer, Compensation shall be recognized for only that part of the Plan Year during which the Member was eligible to participate in the
Plan. An Employee’s actual contribution percentage shall be zero if no such contributions are made by him or on his behalf for such Plan Year. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.12 to the contrary, and in accordance with IRS
Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5), no Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account in determining the actual contribution percentage for a Plan Year for a Non-highly Compensated Employee under the Plan to the extent such
contributions exceed for such Non-highly Compensated Employee the greatest of (i) 5% of the Non-highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation (as defined in Code Section 414(s), (ii) the Non-highly Compensated Employee’s 401(k)
deferrals for the Plan Year, and (iii) the product of (A) two (2) times the “Plan’s representative matching rate” (within the meaning of IRS Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii) and (B) the Non-highly
Compensated Employee’s 401(k) deferrals. The foregoing limitation on Employer matching contributions shall also apply to matching contributions with respect to a Non-highly Compensated Employee’s after-tax contributions or the total of a
Non-highly Compensated Employee’s 401(k) deferrals and after-tax contributions. 
 The amount of excess aggregate contributions for a Highly Compensated
Employee will be determined, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(ii), in the following manner: The actual contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest actual contribution percentage is reduced
to equal the actual contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest actual contribution percentage. This process is repeated until the actual contribution percentage test would be satisfied. In determining the
necessary reduction in a Highly Compensated Employee’s actual contribution percentage as provided above, if a lesser reduction would enable the Plan to satisfy the actually contribution percentage test, then only such lesser reduction is used
to determine the highest permitted actual contribution percentage for a Highly Compensated Employee. 
 The TPA shall determine as of the end of the Plan
Year whether one of the actual contribution percentage tests specified above is satisfied for such Plan Year. This determination shall be made after first determining the treatment of excess deferrals within the meaning of Code Section 402(g)
under Section 3.2 above and then determining the treatment of excess contributions under Section 3.11 above. In the event that neither of the actual contribution percentage tests is satisfied, the TPA shall (i) refund the excess
aggregate contributions to the extent attributable to Member after-tax contributions and vested matching contributions for which the underlying Member after-tax contributions or 401(k) deferrals are not subject to correction under the actual
deferral percentage or actual contribution percentage tests for such year (and any income related thereto) and (ii) forfeit the excess aggregate contributions to the extent attributable to non-vested Employer matching contributions and vested
Employer matching contributions for which the underlying Member after-tax contributions or 401(k) deferrals are subject to correction under the actual deferral percentage or actual contribution percentage tests for such year (and any income related
thereto), in the manner described below. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.12 to the contrary, and in accordance with IRS Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv), the income allocable to the excess aggregate contributions shall be
equal to the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year in question and, as applicable, for the “gap period” following the close of the Plan Year and ending on the date that is seven (7) days preceding the distribution date. The Plan
shall determine the allocable income in accordance with IRS Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv)(C) or (D) or, in 

  

 21 

 
accordance with IRS Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv)(B), any reasonable method for computing the income allocable to the excess aggregate
contributions. 
 For purposes of this Article III, “excess aggregate contributions” means, with respect to any Plan Year and with respect to any
Member, the excess of the aggregate amount of contributions (and any earnings and losses allocable thereto) made as (i) Member after-tax contributions credited to his Account for the Plan Year, (ii) Employer matching contributions and/or
supplemental contributions under Formula 1 credited to his Account as described in this Article for the Plan Year, and (iii) in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the IRS Regulations, 401(k) deferrals (and, as provided in
Section 3.10, any Employer qualified nonelective contributions) credited to his Account (if the Plan Administrator elects to take into account such deferrals and contributions when calculating the actual contribution percentage) of Highly
Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over the maximum amount of such contributions that could be made as Employer contributions, Member contributions and 401(k) deferrals of such Members without violating the requirements of any Subparagraph of
this Section 3.12. 
 To the extent excess aggregate contributions must be refunded or forfeited for a Plan Year, such excess amounts will be refunded
(or, as applicable, forfeited) first to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest Contribution Percentage Amounts (as defined below) taken into account in calculating the actual contribution percentage test for the year the excess arose and
continuing in descending order until all the excess aggregate contributions are refunded (or, as applicable, forfeited). For purposes for the preceding sentence, the “largest amount” is determined after distribution of any excess aggregate
contributions. For purposes of this paragraph, “Contribution Percentage Amounts” means the sum of Member after-tax contributions, Employer matching contributions, Employer supplemental contributions under Formula (1), and qualified
matching contributions ( to the extent not taken into account for purposes of the actual deferral percentage test) made under the Plan on behalf of the Member for the Plan Year. However, such Contribution Percentage Amounts shall not include
Employer matching contributions that are forfeited either to correct excess aggregate contributions or because the contributions to which they relate are excess deferrals, excess contributions or excess aggregate contributions. 
 The refund or forfeiture of such excess aggregate contributions shall be made with respect to such Highly Compensated Employees to the extent practicable before the 15th
day of the third month immediately following the Plan Year for which such excess aggregate contributions were made, but in no event later than the end of the Plan Year following such Plan Year or, in the case of the termination of the Plan in
accordance with Article XI, no later than the end of the twelve-month period immediately following the date of such termination. 
 The distribution of
excess aggregate contributions will include the income allocable thereto. The income allocable to the excess aggregate contributions includes, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv), income for the Plan Year for which the
excess aggregate contributions were made and for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date that is seven (7) days prior to the date of distribution. 
 For purposes of this Section 3.12, the contribution percentage (which shall mean the ratio of the Member’s Contribution Percentage Amounts to the Member’s Compensation for the Plan Year) for any Member
who is a Highly Compensated Employee and who is eligible to have Contribution Percentage Amounts allocated to his account under two or more plans described in Code Section 401(a), or arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) that are
maintained by the Employer, shall be determined as if the total of such Contribution Percentage Amounts was made under each plan. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more cash or deferred arrangements that have different plan
years, all cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations
under Code Section 401(m). 
 In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Sections 401(m), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with
one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such Sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 3.12 shall be applied by determining the actual contribution percentage of
Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(m) only if they have the same Plan Year and use the same actual contribution percentage testing method. 
  

 22 

 For purposes of the actual contribution percentage test, Employee contributions are considered to have been made in the
Plan Year in which contributed to the trust. Matching contributions and qualified nonelective contributions will be considered made for a Plan Year if made no later than the end of the 12-month period beginning on the day after the close of the Plan
Year. 
 The Employer shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the actual contribution percentage test and the amount of qualified
nonelective contributions used in such test. 
 A Member is a Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he meets the definition of a Highly
Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. Similarly, a Member is a Non-highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he does not meet the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. 
 Section 3.13 Remittance of Contributions 
 The contributions of both the Employer and the Plan Members shall be recorded by the Employer and remitted to the TPA for transmittal to the Trustee or custodian or directly to the Trustee or custodian so that
(i) in the case of Employer contributions the Trustee or custodian shall be in receipt thereof by the 15th day of the month next following the 1 month in respect of which such contributions are payable and (ii) in the case of Member
after-tax contributions and 401(k) deferrals, the Trustee or custodian shall be in receipt thereof by the 15th business day of the month following
the month in which the Member contributions are received by the Employer or the 15th business day of the month following the month in which such
amount would otherwise have been payable to the Member in cash. Such amounts shall be used to provide additional Units pursuant to Article V. 
 Section 3.14 Safe Harbor CODA 
 If the Employer has elected the safe harbor CODA option in the Adoption Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 3.14 shall apply for the Plan Year and any provisions relating to the actual deferral percentage test described in 401(k)(3) of the Code or the actual contribution percentage test described in 401(m)(2) of the Code do not apply. To
the extent that any other provision of the Plan is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3.14 and in accordance with Code Section 401(k)(12) and Treasury Regulations thereunder, the provisions of this Section 3.14 govern.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Employer has elected the safe harbor CODA option, then such option shall comply and be administered in accordance with the applicable provisions of the safe harbor requirements under IRS
Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-3 and 1.401(m)-3. 
  

	(A)	Actual Deferral Percentage Test Safe Harbor 

  

	 	(1)	Unless the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to make Enhanced Matching Contributions (as provided in the Adoption Agreement) or safe harbor nonelective contributions, the
Employer will contribute monthly or on another periodic basis for the Plan Year a safe harbor matching contribution to the Plan on behalf of each eligible Employee equal to (i) 100 percent of the amount of the Employee’s 401(k) deferrals
that do not exceed three percent (3%) of the Employee’s Salary for the Plan Year, plus (ii) 50 percent of the amount of the Employee’s 401(k) deferrals that exceed three percent (3%) of the Employee’s Salary but that do
not exceed 5 percent of the Employee’s Salary (“Basic Matching Contributions”). 

  

	 	 (2)
	 The Member’s benefit derived from ADP Test Safe Harbor Contributions is nonforfeitable and may not be distributed
earlier than severance from Employment, death, Disability, an event described in 401(k)(10) of the Code, or the attainment of age 59 1/2. In addition, such contributions must satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor without regard to permitted disparity under 401(l) of the Code. 

  

	 	 (3)
	 At least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the beginning of the Plan Year, the Employer will provide each
Eligible Employee a comprehensive notice of the Employee’s rights and obligations under the Plan, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average Eligible Employee. If an Employee becomes eligible after the 90th day before the beginning of 

  

 23 

	 	 
the Plan Year and does not receive the notice for that reason, the notice must be provided no more than 90 days before the Employee becomes eligible but not
later than the date the Employee becomes eligible. 

  

	 	(4)	In addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each Eligible Employee may make or modify a deferral election during the 30-day period immediately following
receipt of the notice described above. 

 Section 3.15 Catch-Up Contributions 
 The Employer may elect, in its Adoption Agreement, to provide catch-up contributions whereby all Members who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this Plan and
who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year will be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code Section 414(v). Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account
for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code Sections
401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions. 
 The Employer may elect in the
Adoption Agreement not to make an allocation of employer matching contributions on such catch-up contributions. However, in the absence of such an election, employer matching contributions shall be made with respect to catch-up contributions.

 For purposes of this Section 3.15, matching contributions shall be those employer contributions which are allocated to a Member’s Account
pursuant to Section 3.5 and/or Section 3.7 (Formula 1).

 ARTICLE IV 
 INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 4.1 Investment by Trustee or Custodian 
 All contributions to the Plan shall, upon receipt by the TPA, be delivered to the Trustee or custodian to be held in the Trust Fund and invested and distributed by the
Trustee or custodian in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Trust Agreement. 
 The Trust Fund shall consist of one or more of the Investment
Funds or other applicable investment vehicles designated by the Employer under the terms of the Plan. 
 With the exception of an investment fund whose
assets consist of all or substantially all of Employer Stock (“Employer Stock Fund”) or, if applicable, the Certificate of Deposit Fund, the Trustee may in its discretion invest any amounts held by it in any Investment Fund in any
commingled or group trust fund described in Code Section 401(a) and exempt under Code Section 501(a) or in any common trust fund exempt under Code Section 584, provided that such trust fund satisfies any requirements of the Plan
applicable to such Investment Funds. To the extent that the Investment Funds are at any time invested in any commingled, group or common trust fund, the declaration of trust or other instrument pertaining to such fund and any amendments thereto are
hereby adopted as part of the Plan. 
 The Employer will designate which of the Investment Funds or other applicable investment vehicles will be made
available to Members and the terms and conditions under which such Funds will operate with respect to Employee direction of allocations to and among such designated Funds and the types of contributions and/or deferrals eligible for investment
therein. 
 To the extent made available under the Plan, the Employer may elect to allow Members to direct the investment of their Accounts, pursuant to, and
in accordance with, such rules and procedures as may be prescribed by the Employer or the Plan Sponsor, to a self-directed brokerage account. Where an Employer elects to provide a self-directed brokerage account under the Plan, the Trustee may
invest amounts held by it in a self-directed brokerage account maintained by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (or any other entity which provides a self-directed brokerage account) on behalf of Plan Members who elect to utilize such investment
vehicle. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Employer may elect to provide a non-employer sponsored Certificate of Deposit Fund
as an investment vehicle. 
 Section 4.2 Member Directed Investments 
 To the extent permitted by the Employer as set forth in the Adoption Agreement, each Member shall direct in writing that his contributions and deferrals, if any, and the contributions made by the Employer on his
behalf shall be invested (a) entirely in any one of the investment vehicles made available by the Employer, or (b) among the available investment vehicles in any combination of multiples of 1% or a specified dollar amount. If a Member has
made any Rollover contributions in accordance with Article III, Section 3.3, such Member may elect to apply separate investment directions to such rollover amounts. Any such investment direction shall be followed by the TPA until changed.
Subject to the provisions of the following paragraphs of this Section 4.2, as designated in the Adoption Agreement, a Member may change his investment direction as to future contributions and also as to the value of his accumulated Units in
each of the available investments by filing written notice with the TPA. Such directed change(s) will become effective upon the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date which his notice was received by the TPA or as soon as
administratively practicable thereafter. If the Adoption Agreement provides for Member directed investments, and if a Member does not make a written designation of an Investment Fund or Funds, or other investment vehicle, the Employer or its
designee shall direct the Trustee to invest all amounts held or received on account of the Member in the Investment Fund which in the opinion of the Employer best protects principal. 
 Except as otherwise provided below, a Member may not direct a transfer from the Stable Value Fund to the Government Money Market Fund or the Certificate of Deposit Fund. A Member may direct a transfer from any other
investment vehicle to the Government Money Market Fund or the Certificate of Deposit Fund provided 

  

 25 

 
that amounts previously transferred from the Stable Value Fund to such investment vehicle remain in such vehicle for a period of three months prior to being
transferred to the Government Money Market Fund or the Certificate of Deposit Fund. 
 Section 4.3 Employer Securities 
 If the Employer so elects, the Employer and/or Members may direct that contributions will be invested in Employer Stock (within the meaning of Section 407(d)(5) of
ERISA) through the Employer Stock Fund. However, investment of elective deferrals by the Employer or Trustee in Employer Stock must be limited to no more than 10% of the fair market value of Plan assets, except to the extent that such investments
have been made at the direction of Members. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Employer may elect to value the Employer Stock
Fund utilizing a share accounting methodology. 
 Section 4.4 Life Insurance 
  

	(A)	If the Employer so elects and in accordance with applicable law (including Code Section 401(a) and the regulations and rulings thereunder), the Employer and/or Members may
direct that contributions be used to pay premiums on life insurance contracts for the Member, the life of any person in whom the Member has an insurable interest or on the joint lives of a Member and any person in whom the Member has an insurable
interest. The Employer shall establish a policy for obtaining Life Insurance under the Plan. 

  

	(B)	Incidental Insurance Provisions 

  

	 	 (1)
	 For purposes of these incidental insurance provisions, ordinary life insurance contracts are contracts with both
nondecreasing death benefits and nonincreasing premiums. If such contracts are purchased, less than one-half ( 1/2) of the
aggregate employer contributions allocated to any Member will be used to pay the premiums attributable to them. 

  

	 	(2)	No more than one-fourth (1/4) of the aggregate employer contributions allocated to any Member will be used to pay the premiums on term life insurance contracts, universal life
insurance contracts, and all other life insurance contracts which are not ordinary life. 

  

	 	(3)	The sum of one-half (1/2) of the ordinary life insurance premiums and all other life insurance premiums will not exceed one-fourth (1/4) of the aggregate employer
contributions allocated to any Member. 

  

 26 

 ARTICLE V 
 MEMBERS’ ACCOUNTS, UNITS AND VALUATION 
 The TPA shall establish and maintain an Account for each Member showing
his interests in the available Investment Funds or other applicable investments, as designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. The interest in each Investment Fund shall be represented by Units. 
 As of each Valuation Date, the value of a Unit in each Investment Fund shall be determined by dividing (a) the sum of the net assets at market value determined by
the Trustee by (b) the total number of outstanding Units. 
 The number of additional Units to be credited to a Member’s interest in each available
Investment Fund, as of any Valuation Date, shall be determined by dividing (a) that portion of the aggregate contributions and/or deferrals by and on behalf of the Member which was directed to be invested in such Investment Fund and received by
the Trustee by (b) the Unit value of such Investment Fund. 
 The value of a Member’s Account may be determined as of any Valuation Date by
multiplying the number of Units to his credit in each available Investment Fund by that Investment Fund’s Unit value on such date and aggregating the results. If, and to the extent, a Member’s Account is invested pursuant to a
self-directed brokerage account, the investments held in that account shall be valued by the brokerage firm maintaining such account in accordance with such procedures as may be determined by such brokerage firm. 
 A Member is treated as benefiting under the Plan for any Plan Year during which the Member received or is deemed to receive an allocation in accordance with Code
Section 1.410 (b)-3(a).

 ARTICLE VI 
 VESTING OF ACCOUNTS 
 Section 6.1 Vesting of Member Contributions, 401(k) Deferrals, Qualified Nonelective
Contributions, and Rollover Contributions 
 All Units credited to a Member’s Account based on after-tax contributions and/or 401(k) deferrals made
by the Member and any earnings related thereto (including any rollover contributions allocated to a Member’s Account under the Plan and any earnings thereon) and, as provided in Section 3.10, Employer qualified nonelective contributions
made on behalf of such Member (and any earnings thereon) shall be immediately and fully vested at all times. 
 Section 6.2 Vesting of Employer
Contributions 
 Except as provided in Section 6.1, the Employer may, at its option, elect one of the available vesting schedules described herein
for each of the employer contribution types applicable under the Plan as designated in the Adoption Agreement. 
  

	Schedule 1:	All applicable Employer contributions (and related earnings) shall be immediately and fully vested. If the eligibility requirement(s) selected by the Employer under the Plan
require(s) that an Employee complete a service period which is longer than 12 consecutive months, this vesting Schedule 1 shall be automatically applicable. 

  

	Schedule 2:	All applicable Employer contributions (and related earnings) shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth below:

 28 

	Schedule 6:	All applicable Employer contributions (and related earnings) shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth below:

	  	100	%

  

	Schedule 7:	All applicable Employer contributions (and related earnings) shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Adoption Agreement prescribed by the Employer in
accordance with applicable law. 

 Notwithstanding the vesting schedules above, a Member’s interest in his Account shall become 100%
vested in the event that (i) the Member dies while in service with the Employer and the TPA has received notification of death, (ii) the Member has been approved for Disability, pursuant to the provisions of Article VII, and the TPA has
received notification of Disability, or (iii) the Member has attained Normal Retirement Age while in service with the Employer. 
 Except as otherwise
provided hereunder, in the event that the Employer adopts the Plan as a successor plan to another defined contribution plan qualified under Code Sections 401(a) and 501(a), or in the event that the Employer changes or amends a vesting schedule
adopted under this Article (or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a top-heavy vesting schedule), any Member who was covered under such predecessor plan or, the pre-amendment vesting schedule under the Plan, and has
completed at least three (3) Years of Employment (or, as applicable, three (3) years of service) may elect to have the nonforfeitable percentage of the portion of his Account which is subject to such vesting schedule computed under such
predecessor plan’s vesting provisions, or computed without regard to such change or amendment under the Plan (a “Vesting Election”). Any Vesting Election shall be made by notifying the TPA in writing within the election period
hereinafter described. The election period shall begin on the date such amendment is adopted or the date such change is effective, or the date the Plan, which serves as a successor plan, is adopted or effective, as the case may be, and shall end no
earlier than the latest of the following dates: (i) the date which is 60 days after the day such amendment is adopted; (ii) the date which is 60 days after the day such amendment or change becomes effective; (iii) the date which is 60
days after the day the Member is given written notice of such amendment or change by the TPA; (iv) the date which is 60 days after the day the Plan is adopted by the Employer or becomes effective; or (v) the date which is 60 days after the
day the Member is given written notice that the Plan has been designated as a successor plan. Any such election, once made, shall be irrevocable. 
 To the
extent permitted under the Code and Regulations, the Employer may, at its option, elect to treat all Members who are eligible to make a Vesting Election as having made such Vesting Election if the vesting schedule resulting from such an election is
more favorable than the Vesting Schedule that would apply pursuant to the Plan amendment. Furthermore, subject to the requirements of the applicable Regulations, the Employer may elect to treat all Members, who were employed by the Employer on or
before the effective date of the change or amendment, as subject to the prior vesting schedule, provided such prior schedule is more favorable. 
 In the
event that an Employer elects, in its Adoption Agreement, to use the hour of service method for determining vesting service, Years of Service shall be substituted for Years of Employment for all purposes under this Article VI. 
 No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing a Member’s accrued benefit. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a
Member’s Account balance may be reduced to the extent permitted under Code Section 412(c)(8). For purposes of this paragraph, a plan amendment which has the effect of decreasing a Member’s Account balance, with respect to benefits
attributable to service before the amendment shall be treated as reducing an accrued benefit. Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of a plan is amended, in the case of an Employee who is a Member as of the later of the date such 

  

 29 

 
amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective, the nonforfeitable percentage (determined as of such date) of such Employee’s employer-derived
accrued benefit will not be less than the percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. 
 No amendment to the Plan shall be effective
to eliminate or restrict an optional form of benefit. The preceding sentence shall not apply to a plan amendment that eliminates or restricts the ability of a Member to receive payment of his Account balance under a particular optional form of
benefit if the Member has not already begun to receive benefits in such optional form and the Plan satisfies the following condition: 
 The Plan provides a
single-sum distribution form that is otherwise identical to the optional form of benefit eliminated or restricted. For purposes of this condition (1), a single-sum distribution form is otherwise identical only if it is identical in all respects to
the eliminated or restricted optional form of benefit (or would be identical except that it provides greater rights to the Member) except with respect to the timing of payments after commencement. 
 Section 6.3 Forfeitures 
 If a Member who was partially vested in
his Account on the date of his termination of Employment returns to Employment, his Years of Employment (or, as applicable, years of service) prior to the Break(s) in Service shall be included in determining future vesting and, if he returns before
incurring five (5) consecutive one year Breaks in Service, any amounts forfeited from his Account shall be restored to his Account provided, however, that if such a Member has received a distribution pursuant to Article VII, his nonvested
Account shall not be restored unless he repays to the Plan the full amount distributed to him before the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the first date on which the Member is subsequently reemployed by the Employer, or (ii) the close
of the first period of five (5) consecutive one-year Breaks in Service commencing after the withdrawal. The amount restored to the Member’s Account will be valued on the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the later of (i) the
date the Employee is rehired, or (ii) the date a new enrollment application is received by the TPA. If a Member terminates Employment without any vested interest in his Account, he shall (i) immediately be deemed to have received a total
distribution of his Account and (ii) thereupon forfeit his entire Account; provided that if such Member returns to Employment before the number of consecutive one-year Breaks in Service equals or exceeds the greater of (i) 5, or
(ii) the aggregate number of the Member’s Years Employment (or, as applicable, Years of Service) prior to such Break in Service, his Account shall be restored in the same manner as if such Member had been partially vested at the time of
his termination of Employment and had his nonvested Account restored upon a return to Employment, and his Years of Employment (or, as applicable, Years of Service) prior to incurring the first Break in Service shall be included in any subsequent
determination of his vesting service. 
 Forfeited amounts, as described in the preceding paragraph, shall be made available to the Employer, through a
transfer from the Member’s Account to the Employer Credit Account, upon: (1) if the Member had a vested interest in his Account at his termination of Employment, the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Member receives a
distribution of his entire vested interest in his Account or (ii) the date upon which the Member incurs five (5) consecutive one-year Breaks in Service, or (2) the date of the Member’s termination of Employment, if the Member then has
no vested interest in his Account. Once so transferred, such amounts shall be used at the option of the Employer to (i) offset any contributions to be made by the Employer for that Contribution Determination Period or (ii) be allocated to
all eligible Members deemed to be employed as of the last day of the Contribution Determination Period. The Employer Credit Account, referenced in this Subparagraph, shall be maintained to receive, in addition to the forfeitures described above,
(i) contributions in excess of the limitations contained in Code Section 415, (ii) Employer contributions made in advance of the date allocable to Members, if any, and (iii) amounts, if any, forfeited pursuant to Sections 3.11
and 3.12. 
 No forfeitures will occur solely as a result of an Employee’s withdrawal of Employee contributions under Article VII of the Plan.

 ARTICLE VII 
 WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 7.1 General Provisions 
  

	(A)	The Employer will define in the Adoption Agreement the terms and conditions under which withdrawals and distributions will be permitted under the Plan. All payments in respect of a
Member’s Account shall be made in cash from the Trust Fund and in accordance with the provisions of this Article or Article XI except that if the Adoption Agreement so provides, a Member may elect to have his Account, to the extent then
invested in the Employer Stock Fund, distributed in the form of Employer Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Article or Article XI. The amount of payment will be determined in accordance with the vested value of the Member’s Account
on the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date proper notice is filed with the TPA, unless following such Valuation Date a decrease in the value of the Member’s investment in any of the available Investment Funds or other
Account investments occurs prior to the date the Member’s Account is paid in which case that part of the payment which is based on such investments shall equal the value of such investments determined as of the date of payment which date shall
occur as soon as administratively practicable on or following the Valuation Date such proper notice is filed with the TPA. If units are redeemed to make a payment of benefits, the redemption date Unit value with respect to a Member’s investment
in any of the available Investment Funds shall equal the value of a Unit in such Investment Fund, as determined in accordance with the valuation method applicable to Unit investments in such Investment Fund on the date the Member’s investment
is redeemed. 

  

	(B)	Except where otherwise specified, payments provided under this Article will be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable after such Valuation Date or date of redemption, as may be
applicable, subject to any applicable restriction on redemption imposed on amounts invested in any of the available Investment Funds. 

  

	(C)	Any partial withdrawal shall be deemed to come (to the extent available for withdrawal): 

  

	 	(1)	First from the Member’s after-tax contributions made prior to January 1, 1987. 

  

	 	(2)	Next from the Member’s after-tax contributions made after December 31, 1986 plus earnings on all of the Member’s after-tax contributions. 

  

	 	(3)	Next from the Member’s rollover contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(4)	Next from the Employer matching contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(5)	Next from the Employer supplemental contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(6)	Next from the Employer basic contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(7)	Next from the Employer safe harbor CODA contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(8)	Next from the Member’s 401(k) deferrals plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(9)	Next from the Member’s Roth 401(k) deferrals plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(10)	Next from the Employer qualified nonelective contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	(11)	Next from the Employer profit sharing contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	(D)	Commencement of Benefits 

 Unless the Member elects otherwise, distribution of benefits will begin no later than the 60th day after the latest
of the close of the Plan Year in which: 
  

 31 

	 	(1)	the Member attains age 65 (or normal retirement age, if earlier); 

  

	 	 (2)
	 occurs the 10th
anniversary of the year in which the Member commenced participation in the Plan; or 

  

	 	(3)	the Member terminates service with the employer. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of a Member and, if applicable, such Member’s spouse to consent to a distribution while a benefit is immediately distributable, within the meaning of Section 7.3 of the Plan, shall be
deemed to be an election to defer commencement of payment of any benefit sufficient to satisfy this Section 7.1(D). 
 Section 7.2 Withdrawals
While Employed 
 The Employer may, at its option, permit Members to make withdrawals from one or more of the portions of their Accounts while employed by
the Employer, as designated in the Adoption Agreement, under the terms and provisions described herein. 
  

	(A)	Voluntary Withdrawals 

 To the extent permitted by
the Employer as specified in the Adoption Agreement, a Member may voluntarily withdraw some or all of his Account (other than his 401(k) deferrals, Roth 401(k) deferrals, and Employer qualified nonelective contributions treated as 401(k) deferrals
except as hereinafter permitted) while in Employment by filing a notice of withdrawal with the TPA; provided, however, that in the event his Employer has elected to provide annuity options under Section 7.3 and the Member elects an annuity form
of payment, no withdrawals may be made from a married Member’s Account without the written consent of such Member’s Spouse (which consent shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Section 7.3). Only one in-service withdrawal may
be made in any Plan Year from each of the rollover amount of the Member’s Account and the remainder of the Member’s Account. This restriction shall not, however, apply to a withdrawal under this Section 7.2 in conjunction with a
hardship withdrawal. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, a Member may not withdraw any
matching, basic, supplemental, profit sharing or, solely in the case of the events described in clause (iii) or (iv), qualified nonelective contributions made by the Employer under Article III unless (i) the Member has completed 60 months
of participation in the Plan; (ii) the withdrawal occurs at least 24 months after such contributions were made by the Employer; (iii) the Employer terminates the Plan without establishing a qualified successor plan; or (iv) the Member
dies, is disabled, retires, attains age 59 1/2 or has a severance from Employment. For purposes of the preceding requirements, if
the Member’s Account includes amounts which have been transferred from a defined contribution plan established prior to the adoption of the Plan by the Employer, the period of time during which amounts were held on behalf of such Member and the
periods of participation of such Member under such defined contribution plan shall be taken into account. 
 Effective as of January 1, 1997, if an Employer does not permit Members to make withdrawals from their Account while employed and a Member has attained age 70 1/2 prior to terminating Employment with his Employer, such Member may withdraw some or all of his Account under the terms and provisions of this Section 7.2. 

 If an Employer, in the Adoption Agreement, permits Members to withdraw 401(k) deferrals, Roth
401(k) deferrals and qualified non-elective contributions (and the income allocable to each) while employed by the Employer, such deferrals or contributions are not distributable earlier than upon severance from Employment, death, Disability,
attainment of age 59 1/2 or hardship. Such amounts may also be distributed, in accordance with Code
Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(II) and the IRS Regulations thereunder, upon termination of the Plan without the establishment of another defined contribution plan other than an Employee stock ownership plan (as defined in Code Sections 4975(e)(7) or
409) or a simplified Employee pension plan (defined in Code Section 408(k) or a SIMPLE IRA plan (defined in Code Section 408(p)). 
  

 32 

	(B)	Hardship Withdrawals 

 If designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a Member may make a withdrawal of his 401(k) deferrals, Roth 401(k) deferrals, Employer qualified nonelective contributions which are treated as elective
deferrals, and any earnings credited thereto prior to January 1, 1989, prior to attaining age 59 1/2, provided that the
withdrawal is solely on account of an immediate and heavy financial need and is necessary to satisfy such financial need. For the purposes of this Article, the term “immediate and heavy financial need” shall be limited, in accordance with
IRS Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(c)(3), to the need of funds for the following reasons: 
  

	 	(i)	the payment of medical expenses (described in Code Section 213(d)) incurred by the Member, the Member’s Spouse, or any of the Member’s dependents (as defined in Code
Section 152 and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); 

  

	 	(ii)	the payment of tuition and room and board for the next 12 months of post-secondary education of the Member, the Member’s Spouse, the Member’s children, or any of the
Member’s dependents (as defined in Code Section 152 and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); 

  

	 	(iii)	the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Member; 

  

	 	(iv)	the prevention of eviction of the Member from his principal residence or the prevention of foreclosure on the mortgage of the Member’s principal residence;

  

	 	(v)	Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2005, burial or funeral expenses for the Member’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code
Section 152 without regard to Code Section 152(d)(1)(B)); and 

  

	 	(vi)	Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2005, expenses for the repair of damages to the Member’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty
deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income). 

 For purposes of
this Article, a distribution generally may be treated as “necessary to satisfy a financial need” if the Plan Administrator reasonably relies upon the Member’s written representation that the need cannot be relieved (i) through
reimbursement or Compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by reasonable liquidation of the Member’s available assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need, (iii) by cessation
of Member contributions and/or deferrals pursuant to Article III of the Plan, to the extent such contributions and/or deferrals are permitted by the Employer, or (iv) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from
plans maintained by the Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms. The amount of any withdrawal pursuant to this Article shall not exceed the amount required to meet the demonstrated
financial hardship, including any amounts necessary to pay any federal income taxes and penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution as certified to the Plan Administrator by the Member. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts may be withdrawn on account of hardship pursuant to this Article prior to a Member’s withdrawal of his other available
Plan assets without regard to any other withdrawal restrictions adopted by the Employer. 
 In the event of a Hardship withdrawal, the Employer may elect in
the Adoption Agreement to suspend all contributions to the Plan on behalf of such Member for a period of time that is at least six (6) months but does not exceed 12 months. 
  

 33 

 Section 7.3 Distributions Upon Termination of Employment 
  

	(A)	General Rules 

 In accordance with the provisions for distributions designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a Member who terminates Employment with the Employer may request a distribution of his Account at any time
thereafter up to attainment of age 70 1/2. Except as otherwise provided by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, a Member may
withdraw all or a portion of his Account at any time after termination of Employment and any amounts paid under this Article may not be returned to the Plan. 
 Any distribution made under this Section 7.3 requires that a Request for Distribution be filed
with the TPA. If a Member does not file such a Request, the value of his Account will be paid to him as soon as practicable after his attainment of age 70 1/2, but in no event shall payment commence later than April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/
2 or terminates Employment unless otherwise provided by law. 
  

	(B)	Lump Sum Payments 

 A Member may request a
distribution of all or a part of his Account no more frequently than once per calendar year by filing the proper Request for Distribution with the TPA. In the event the Employer has elected to provide an annuity option under the Plan, no
distributions may be made from a married Member’s Account without the written consent of such married Member’s spouse (which consent shall be subject to the procedures set forth below). 
  

	(C)	Installment Payments 

 To the extent designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement and in lieu of any lump sum payment of his total Account, a Member who has terminated his Employment may elect in his Request for Distribution to be
paid in installments (no less frequently than annually), provided that a Member shall not be permitted to elect an installment period in excess of his remaining Life Expectancy (or the joint Life Expectancy of the Member and his designated
Beneficiary) and if a Member attempts such an election, the TPA shall deem him to have elected the installment period with the next lowest multiple within the Member’s remaining Life Expectancy. For purposes of installment payments under this
Section 7.3, the Member’s Life Expectancy (or the joint Life Expectancy of the Member and his designated Beneficiary) shall not be recalculated. The amount of each installment will be equal to the value of the total Units in the
Member’s Account, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the number of remaining installments including the one then being paid, so that at the end of the installment period so elected, the total
Account will be liquidated. The value of the Units will be determined in accordance with the Unit values on the Valuation Date on or next following the TPA’s receipt of his Request for Distribution and on each anniversary thereafter subject to
applicable Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9). Payment will be made as soon as practicable after each such Valuation Date, but in no event shall payment commence later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the Member attains age 70 1/2 subject to the procedure for making such distributions described below. The election of
installments hereunder may not be subsequently changed by the Member, except that upon written notice to the TPA, the Member may withdraw the balance of the Units in his Account in a lump sum at any time, notwithstanding the fact that the Member
previously received a distribution in the same calendar year. 
  

	(D)	Annuity Payments 

 The Employer may, at its option,
elect to provide an annuity option under the Plan. For the purpose of amended and restated plans only, if prior to the amendment and restatement the normal form of benefit payment upon severance from Employment is an annuity, the Employer must
continue to offer such annuity as the normal form of benefit payment upon termination of Employment or severance from Employment, subject to this Section 7.3. To the extent so designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement and in lieu of
any lump sum payment of his total Account, a Member who has terminated his Employment may elect in his Request for Distribution to have the value of his total Account be paid as an annuity secured for the Member by the Plan Administrator through a
individual annuity contract purchased by the Plan. In the event the Employer elects to provide the annuity option under the Plan and a Member elects an annuity form of payment, the following provisions shall apply: 
  

 34 

	(E)	Unmarried Members 

 Any unmarried Member who has
terminated his Employment may elect, in lieu of any other available payment option, to receive a benefit payable by purchase of a single premium contract providing for (i) a single life annuity for the life of the Member or (ii) an annuity
for the life of the Member and, if the Member dies leaving a designated Beneficiary, a 50% survivor annuity for the life of such designated Beneficiary. 
  

	(F)	Married Members 

 Except as otherwise provided
below, (i) any married Member who has terminated his Employment shall receive a benefit payable by purchase of a single premium contract providing for a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, as defined below, and (ii) the Surviving Spouse
of any married Member who dies prior to the date payment of his benefit commences shall be entitled to a Preretirement Survivor Annuity, as defined below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such married Member may elect to receive his benefit in any
other available form, and may waive the Preretirement Survivor Annuity, in accordance with the spousal consent requirements described herein. 
 For purposes of this Section 7.3, the term Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity means a benefit providing an annuity for the life of the Member, ending with the payment due on the last day of the month coinciding with or preceding the
date of his death, and, if the Member dies leaving a Surviving Spouse, a survivor annuity for the life of such Surviving Spouse equal to one-half of the annuity payable for the life of the Member under his Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity,
commencing on the last day of the month following the date of the Member’s death and ending with the payment due on the first day of the month coinciding with or preceding the date of such Surviving Spouse’s death. 
 For purposes of this Section 7.3, the term “Preretirement Survivor Annuity” means a benefit providing for payment of 50% of the
Member’s Account balance as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or preceding the date of his death. Payment of a Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall commence in the month following the month in which the Member dies or as soon as practicable
thereafter; provided, however, that to the extent required by law, if the value of the amount used to purchase a Preretirement Survivor Annuity exceeds $5,000 (for Plan Years beginning on or after August 6, 1997), then payment of the
Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall not commence prior to the date the Member reached (or would have reached, had he lived) Normal Retirement Age without the written consent of the Member’s Surviving Spouse. Absence of any required consent
will result in a deferral of payment of the Preretirement Survivor Annuity to the month following the month in which occurs the earlier of (i) the date the required consent is received by the TPA or (ii) the date the Member would have
reached Normal Retirement Age had he lived. 
 The TPA shall furnish or cause to be furnished, to each married Member with an Account subject
to this Section 7.3, explanations of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and Preretirement Survivor Annuity. A Member may, with the written consent of his Spouse (unless the TPA makes a written determination in accordance with the Code and
the Regulations that no such consent is required), elect in writing (i) to receive his benefit in a single lump sum payment within the 90-day period ending on the date payment of his benefit commences; and (ii) to waive the Preretirement
Survivor Annuity within the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Member attains age 35 and ending on the date of his death. Any election made pursuant to this Subparagraph may be revoked by a Member, without spousal
consent, at any time within which such election could have been made. Such an election or revocation must be made in accordance with procedures developed by the TPA and shall be notarized. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, effective for Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 1996, the 90-day period in which a Member may, with the written consent of his Spouse, elect in writing to receive his benefit in a single lump sum shall not end before the 30th day after the date on which explanations of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and Preretirement Survivor Annuity are provided. A Member may elect (with any applicable spousal
consent) to waive any requirement that the written explanation be provided at least 30 days before the annuity starting date (or to waive the 30-day requirement under the preceding sentence) if the distribution commences more than seven days after
such explanation is provided. 
 Any Member who is to receive a QJSA, or a surviving spouse entitled to a QPSA, may elect, with spousal
consent, to waive the QJSA (QPSA) and may revoke such election at any number of times and at any time. 
  

 35 

 Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 7.3, any benefit of $500, subject to the limits of Article
X, or less, shall be paid in cash in a lump sum in full settlement of the Plan’s liability therefore; provided, however, that in the case of a married Member, no such lump sum payment shall be made after benefits have commenced without the
consent of the Member and his Spouse or, if the Member has died, the Member’s Surviving Spouse. Furthermore, if the value of the benefit payable to a Member or his Surviving Spouse is greater than $500 and the Member has or had not reached his
Normal Retirement Age, then to the extent required by law, unless the Member (and, if the Member is married and his benefit is to be paid in a form other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, his Spouse, or, if the Member was married, his
Surviving Spouse) consents in writing to an immediate distribution of such benefit, his benefit shall continue to be held in the Trust until a date following the earlier of (i) the date of the TPA’s receipt of all required consents or
(ii) the date the Member reaches his earliest possible Normal Retirement Age under the Plan (or would have reached such date had he lived), and thereafter shall be paid in accordance with this Section 7.3. 
 Solely to the extent required under applicable law and regulations, and notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a
Distributee’s election under this Subparagraph, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the TPA, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution that is equal to at least $500 paid directly to an Eligible
Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. If an Eligible Rollover Distribution is less than $500, a Distributee may not make the election described in the preceding sentence to rollover a portion of the Eligible Rollover
Distribution. 
 For purposes of this Subparagraph, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
  

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

 A portion of the 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 described in Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is
includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. 
  

	(2)	“Eligible Retirement Plan.” 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 and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual
retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), or a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a) that accepts the
Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution. The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic
relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p). 

 If any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution is attributable
to payments or distributions from a designated Roth account (as defined in Code Section 402A), an Eligible Retirement Plan with respect to such portion shall include only another designated Roth account of the individual, or a Roth IRA of such
individual. 
  

 36 

	(3)	“Distributee.” A Distributee may be (i) an Employee, (ii) a former Employee, (iii) an Employee’s Surviving Spouse, (iv) a former
Employee’s Surviving Spouse, (v) an Employee’s Spouse or former Spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), or (vi) a former Employee’s Spouse or
former Spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), with respect to the interest of the Spouse or former Spouse. 

  

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

 Section 7.4 Distribution Upon Severance From Employment 
 Effective for distributions occurring on or after January 1, 2002, a Member may receive their elective contributions on account of such Member’s severance from employment. However, such distribution shall be subject to all other
provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than such provisions that require a severance from Employment before such amounts may be distributed. 
 Section 7.5 Distributions Due to Disability 
 A Member who is separated from Employment by reason of a Disability which is expected to
last in excess of 12 consecutive months and who is either (i) eligible for, or is receiving, Disability insurance benefits under the Federal Social Security Act or (ii) approved for Disability under the provisions of any other benefit
program or policy maintained by the Employer, which policy or program is applied on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis to all Employees of the Employer, shall be deemed to be disabled for all purposes under the Plan. 
 The Plan Administrator shall determine whether a Member is disabled in accordance with the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph; provided, however, approval of
Disability is conditioned upon notice to the Plan Administrator of such Member’s Disability within 13 months of the Member’s separation from Employment. The notice of Disability shall include a certification that the Member meets one or
more of the criteria listed above. 
 Upon determination of Disability, a Member may withdraw his total Account balance under the Plan and have such amounts
paid to him in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Article VII, as designated by the Employer. If a disabled Member becomes reemployed subsequent to withdrawal of some or all of his Account balance, such Member may not repay to the
Plan any such withdrawn amounts. 
 Section 7.6 Distributions Due to Death 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 above, if a married Member dies, his Spouse, as Beneficiary, will receive a death benefit equal to the value of the Member’s Account determined on the Valuation Date
on or next following the TPA’s receipt of notice that such Member died; provided, however, that if such Member’s Spouse had consented in writing to the designation of a different Beneficiary, the Member’s Account will be paid to such
designated Beneficiary. Such nonspousal designation may be revoked by the Member without spousal consent at any time prior to the Member’s death. If a Member is not married at the time of his death, his Account will be paid to his designated
Beneficiary. 
 A Member may elect that upon his death, his Beneficiary, pursuant to this Section 7.6, may receive, in lieu of any lump sum payment,
payment in five (5) annual installments (10 if the Spouse is the Beneficiary, provided that the Spouse’s remaining Life Expectancy is at least 10 years) whereby the value of 1/5th of such Member’s Units (or 1/10th in the case of a spousal
Beneficiary, provided that the Spouse’s remaining Life Expectancy is at least 10 years) in each available Investment Fund will be determined in accordance with the Unit values on the Valuation Date on or next following the TPA’s receipt of
notice of the Member’s death and on each anniversary of such Valuation Date. Payment will be made as soon as practicable after each Valuation Date until the Member’s Account is exhausted. Such election may be filed at any time with the
Plan Administrator prior to the Member’s death and may not be changed or revoked after such Member’s death. If such an election is not in effect at the time of the Member’s death, his Beneficiary (including any spousal Beneficiary)
may elect to receive distributions in accordance with this Article, except that any balance remaining in the deceased Member’s Account must be distributed on or before the December 31 of the calendar year which contains the 5th anniversary
(the 10th anniversary in the case of a spousal Beneficiary, 
  

 37 

 
provided that the Spouse’s remaining Life Expectancy is at least 10 years) of the Member’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of a
Member’s Account shall commence not later than the December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died or, in the event such Beneficiary is the Member’s Surviving Spouse, on or before the
December 31 of the calendar year in which such Member would have attained age 70 1/2, if later (or, in either case, on any
later date prescribed by the IRS Regulations). If, upon the Spouse’s or Beneficiary’s death, there is still a balance in the Account, the value of the remaining Units will be paid in a lump sum to such Spouse’s or Beneficiary’s
estate. 
 Section 7.7 Minimum Required Distributions 
 Effective as of January 1, 1997 through December 31, 2002, payment of a Member’s Account shall not
commence later than April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2 or (ii) the calendar year in which the Member retires; provided however, if the Member is a 5-percent Owner (as described in Code Section 416(i)), at any time during the Plan Year ending with or within the
calendar year in which the Employee attains age 70 1/2, any benefit payable to such Member shall commence no later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2.

  

	(A)	Subject to Section 7.3, joint and survivor annuity requirements, the requirements of this Section 7.7 shall apply to any distribution of a Member’s interest and will
take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this Section 7.7 apply to calendar years beginning after December 31, 1984. 

 All distributions required under this Section 7.7 shall be determined and made in accordance with the proposed regulations under Code
Section 401(a)(9), including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the proposed regulations. 
 The entire interest of a Member must be distributed or begin to be distributed no later than the Member’s Required Beginning Date. 
  

	(B)	As of the first Distribution Calendar Year, distributions, if not made in a single-sum, may only be made over one of the following periods (or a combination thereof):

  

	 	(1)	the life of the Member, 

  

	 	(2)	the life of the Member and a designated Beneficiary, 

  

	 	(3)	a period certain not extending beyond the Life Expectancy of the Member, or 

  

	 	(4)	a period certain not extending beyond the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Member and a designated Beneficiary. 

  

	(C)	If the Member’s interest is to be distributed in other than a single sum, the following minimum distribution rules shall apply on or after the Required Beginning Date:

  

	 	(1)	If a Member’s benefit is to be distributed over (a) a period not extending beyond the Life Expectancy of the Member or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the
Member and the Member’s designated Beneficiary or (b) a period not extending beyond the Life Expectancy of the designated Beneficiary, the amount required to be distributed for each calendar year, beginning with distributions for the first
Distribution Calendar Year, must at least equal the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s benefit by the Applicable Life Expectancy. 

  

	 	(2)	For calendar years beginning before January 1, 1989, if the Member’s spouse is not the designated Beneficiary, the method of distribution selected must assure that at
least 50% of the present value of the amount available for distribution is paid within the Life Expectancy of the Member. 

  

 38 

	 	(3)	For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, the amount to be distributed each year, beginning with distributions for the first Distribution Calendar Year shall not be
less than the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s benefit by the lesser of (a) the Applicable Life Expectancy or (b) if the Member’s spouse is not the designated Beneficiary, the applicable divisor determined from the
table set forth in Q&A-4 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the proposed regulations. Distributions after the death of the Member shall be distributed using the Applicable Life Expectancy in paragraph (1) above as the relevant divisor without
regard to Proposed Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-2. 

  

	 	(4)	The minimum distribution required for the Member’s first Distribution Calendar Year must be made on or before the Member’s Required Beginning Date. The minimum
distribution for other calendar years, including the minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Employee’s Required Beginning Date occurs, must be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

 If the Member’s benefit is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions
thereunder shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Code and the proposed regulations thereunder. 
  

	(D)	Distributions Beginning Before Death  

 If the
Member dies after distribution of his interest has begun, the remaining portion of such interest will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Member’s death. 
  

	(E)	Distributions Beginning After Death 

  

	 	(1)	If the Member dies before distribution of his or her interest begins, distribution of the Member’s entire interest shall be completed by December 31 of the calendar year
containing the fifth anniversary of the Member’s death except to the extent that an election is made to receive distributions in accordance with (a) or (b) below: 

  

	 	(a)	if any portion of the Member’s interest is payable to a designated Beneficiary, distributions may be made over the life or over a period certain not greater than the Life
Expectancy of the designated Beneficiary commencing on or before December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died; 

  

	 	 (b)
	 if the designated Beneficiary is the Member’s surviving spouse, the date distributions are required to begin in
accordance with (a) above shall not be earlier than the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died and (ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the
Member would have attained age 70 1/2. 

  

	 	(2)	If the Member has not made an election pursuant to this Section 7.7 by the time of his death, the Member’s designated Beneficiary must elect the method of distribution no
later than the earlier of (i) December 31, of the calendar year in which distributions would be required to begin under this Section 7.7, or (ii) December 31 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the
date of death of the Member. If the Member has no designated Beneficiary, or if the designated Beneficiary does not elect a method of distribution, distribution of the Member’s entire interest must be completed by December 31 of the
calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member’s death. 

  

	(F)	For purposes of paragraph (E) above, if the surviving spouse dies after the Member, but before payments to such spouse begin, the provisions of paragraph (E), with the
exception of paragraph (E)(1)(b) therein, shall be applied as if the surviving spouse were the Member. 

  

 39 

	(G)	For the purposes of paragraphs (D) and (E), distribution of a Member’s interest is considered to begin on the Member’s Required Beginning Date (or, if paragraph
(F) above is applicable, the date distribution is required to begin to the surviving spouse pursuant to paragraph (E) above). If distribution in the form of an annuity irrevocably commences to the Member before the Required Beginning Date,
the date distribution is considered to begin is the date distribution actually commences. 

  

	(H)	“Applicable Life Expectancy.” The Life Expectancy (or joint and last survivor expectancy) calculated using the attained age of the Member (or designated Beneficiary
as of the Member’s (or designated Beneficiary’s) birthday in the applicable calendar year reduced by one for each calendar year which has elapsed since the date Life Expectancy was first calculated. If Life Expectancy is being
recalculated, the Applicable Life Expectancy shall be the Life Expectancy as so recalculated. The applicable calendar year shall be the first Distribution Calendar Year, and if Life Expectancy is being recalculated such succeeding calendar year.

  

	(I)	“Designated Beneficiary.” The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under the Plan in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the proposed
regulations thereunder. 

  

	(J)	“Distribution Calendar Year.” A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Member’s death, the first
Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Member’s Required Beginning Date. For distributions beginning after the Member’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the
calendar year in which distributions are required to begin pursuant to paragraphs (D), (E), (F) and (G) above. 

  

	(K)	“Life Expectancy.” Life Expectancy and joint and last survivor expectancy are computed by use of the expected return multiples in Tables V and VI of
Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations. Unless otherwise elected by the Member (or spouse, in the case of distributions described in paragraph (E)(1)(b) above) by the time distributions are required to begin, life expectancies shall be
recalculated annually. Such election shall be irrevocable as to the Member (or spouse) and shall apply to all subsequent years. The Life Expectancy of a nonspouse Beneficiary may not be recalculated. 

  

	(L)	Member’s Benefit 

  

	 	(1)	The Account balance 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 or forfeitures allocated to the Account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. 

 

	 	(2)	Exception for second Distribution Calendar Year. For purposes of paragraph (1) above, if any portion of the minimum distribution for the first Distribution Calendar Year is
made in the second Distribution Calendar Year on or before the Required Beginning Date, the amount of the minimum distribution made in the second Distribution Calendar Year shall be treated as if it had been made in the immediately preceding
Distribution Calendar Year. 

  

 40 

 Section 7.8 Minimum Required Distributions (Beginning on November 1, 2002) 
  

	(A)	General Rules 

  

	 	(1)	Effective Date. The provisions of this Section 7.8 will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003
calendar year. 

  

	 	(2)	Precedence. The requirements of this Section 7.8 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. 

  

	 	(3)	Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 7.8 will be determined and made in accordance with Treasury Regulations
under Code Section 401(a)(9) and the minimum distribution incidental death benefit requirement of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G). 

  

	 	(4)	Limits on Distribution Periods. As of the first Distribution Calendar Year, distributions to a Member, if not made in a single sum, may only be made over one of the following
periods: 

  

	 	(a)	the life of the Member 

  

	 	(b)	the joint lives of the Member and a designated Beneficiary 

  

	 	(c)	a period certain not extending beyond the Life Expectancy of the Member, or 

  

	 	(d)	a period certain not extending beyond the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Member and a designated Beneficiary. 

 (B) Time and Manner of Distribution 
  

	 	(1)	Required Beginning Date. The Member’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Member no later than the Member’s Required Beginning
Date. 

  

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

  

	 	 (a)
	 If the Member’s surviving spouse is the Member’s sole designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the
surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Member would have attained age 70 1/2, if later. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Member’s surviving spouse is not the Member’s sole designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the
calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died. 

  

	 	(c)	If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Member’s death, the Member’s entire interest will be distributed by
December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member’s death. 

  

	 	(d)	If the Member’s surviving spouse is the Member’s sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Member but before distributions to the surviving
spouse begin, this paragraph (B)(2), other than paragraph (B)(2)(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Member. 

 For purposes of this paragraph (B)(2) and paragraph (D) below, unless paragraph (B)(2)(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Member’s Required Beginning Date. If paragraph (B)(2)(d) applies, distributions are
considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (B)(2)(a). If distributions under an 
  

 41 

 annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Member before the Member’s
Required Beginning Date (or to the Member’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (B)(2)(a)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions
actually commence. 
  

	 	(3)	Forms of Distributions 

 Unless the Member’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 will be made in accordance with paragraphs
(C) and (D) of this Section 7.8. If the Member’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code
Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
  

	(C)	Required Minimum Distributions During Member’s Lifetime 

  

	 	(1)	Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Member’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of: 

  

	 	(a)	the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s Account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury
Regulations, using the Member’s age as of the Member’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or 

  

	 	(b)	if the Member’s sole designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Member’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’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, using the Member’s and the spouse’s attained ages as of the Member’s and spouse’s birthdays in the
Distribution Calendar Year. 

  

	 	(2)	Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Member’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this paragraph
(C) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Member’s date of death. 

 (D) Required Minimum Distributions After Member’s Death 
  

	 	(1)	Death On or After Date Distributions Begin 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	The Member’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Member in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

  

	 	(ii)	If the Member’s surviving spouse is the Member’s sole designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each Distribution
Calendar Year after the year of the Member’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. 

  

 42 

	 	(iii)	If the Member’s surviving spouse is not the Member’s sole designated Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age
of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Member’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

  

	 	(b)	No Designated Beneficiary. If the Member 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 Member’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Member’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s Account balance by the Member’s
remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Member in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. 

  

	 	(2)	Death Before Date Distributions Begin 

  

	 	(a)	Member Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Member dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Member’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s Account balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Member’s designated Beneficiary, determined
as provided in paragraph (D) (1). 

  

	 	(b)	No Designated Beneficiary. If the Member dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the
year of the Member’s death, distribution of the Member’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member’s death. 

  

	 	(c)	Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Member dies before the date distributions begin, the Member’s surviving
spouse is the Member’s sole designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (B)(2)(a), this paragraph (D)(2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
Member. 

  

	(E)	Election to Allow Members or Beneficiaries to Elect 5-Year Rule. Members or Beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year rule or the Life Expectancy rule
in paragraphs (B)(2) and (D)(2) applies to distributions after the death of a Member who has a designated Beneficiary. The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in which distribution would be
required to begin under paragraph (B)(2) or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Member’s (or, if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death. If neither the Member nor Beneficiary makes an
election under this paragraph, distributions will be made in accordance with paragraphs (B)(2) and (D)(2) and, if applicable, the elections in paragraph (B) above. 

  

	(F)	Election to Allow Designated Beneficiary Receiving Distributions Under 5-Year Rule to Elect Life Expectancy Distributions. A designated Beneficiary who is receiving payments
under the 5-year rule may make a new election to receive payments under the Life Expectancy rule until December 31, 2003, provided that all amounts that would have been required to be distributed under the Life Expectancy rule for all
Distribution Calendar Years before 2004 are distributed by the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the end of the 5-year period. 

  

 43 

	(G)	Definitions 

  

	 	(1)	“Designated Beneficiary.” The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under the terms of the Plan and is the designated Beneficiary under Code
Section 401(a)(9) and Section 1.401(a)(9)-4, of the Treasury Regulations. 

  

	 	(2)	“Distribution Calendar Year.” A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Member’s death, the first
Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Member’s Required Beginning Date. For distributions beginning after the Member’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the
calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under paragraph (B)(2). The required minimum distribution for the Member’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Member’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 Member’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31
of that Distribution Calendar Year. 

  

	 	(3)	“Life Expectancy.” Life Expectancy is the Life Expectancy as computed by the use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 Q&A-1, of the Treasury
Regulations. 

  

	 	(4)	“Member’s Account Balance.” The Account balance 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 Account balance as of the 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 Account balance 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. 

  

	 	(5)	“Required Beginning Date.” One of the following, as selected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement: 

  

	 	 (a)
	 The Required Beginning Date of a Member is April 1st
of the calendar year after the calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2.

  

	 	 (b)
	 The Required Beginning Date of a Member is April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
Member attains age 70 1/2, except that benefit distributions to a Member (other than a 5-percent Owner) with respect to benefits
accrued after the later of the adoption or effective date of an amendment to the Plan that implements the changes to the Required Beginning Date of this paragraph must commence by April 1 of the calendar year in which the Member attains age
70 1/2 or the calendar year in which the Member retires. 

  

	 	 (c)
	 The Required Beginning Date of a Member is April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in
which the Member attains age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which the Member retires, except that the benefit distributions to a
5-percent Owner must commence by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2. 

  

	 	 (6)
	 “5-percent Owner.” A Member is treated as a 5-percent Owner for purposes of this Section 7.8, if
such Member is a 5-percent Owner as defined in Code Section 416 at any time during the Plan year ending with or within the calendar year in which such owner attains age 70 1/2. 

 Once distributions have begun to a 5-percent Owner under
this Section 7.8 they must continue to be distributed, even if the Member ceases to be a 5-percent Owner in a subsequent year. 
  

 44 

	 	(7)	“TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections.” Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Section 7.8, distribution on behalf of any Employee, including a
5-percent Owner, who has made a designation under Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (a “Section 242(b)(2) election”) may be made in accordance with all of the following requirements (regardless of when
such distribution commences): 

  

	 	(a)	The distribution by the Plan is one which would not have disqualified such Plan under Code Section 401(a)(9) as in effect prior to amendment by the Deficit Reduction Act of
1984. 

  

	 	(b)	The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution designated by the Employee whose interest in the Plan is being distributed or, if the Employee is deceased, by a
Beneficiary of such Employee. 

  

	 	(c)	Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Employee or the Beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984. 

  

	 	(d)	The Employee had accrued a benefit under the Plan as of December 31, 1983. 

  

	 	(e)	The method of distribution designated by the Employee or the Beneficiary specifies the time at which distribution will commence, the period over which distributions will be made,
and in the case of any distribution upon the Employee’s death, the Beneficiaries of the Employee listed in order of priority. 

  

	(H)	A designation upon death will not be covered by this transitional rule unless the information in the designation contains the required information described above with respect to
the distributions to be made upon the death of the Employee. 

  

	(I)	For any distribution which commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after December 31, 1983, the Employee, or the Beneficiary, to whom such distribution is being
made, will be presumed to have designated the method of distribution under which the distribution is being made if the method of distribution was specified in writing and the distribution satisfies the requirements in Sections 7.8(G)(7)(a) and (c).

  

	(J)	If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder. If a designation is revoked
subsequent to the date distributions are required to begin, the Plan must distribute by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the revocation occurs the total amount not yet distributed which would have been required to
have been distributed to satisfy Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder, but for the Section 242(b)(2) election. For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, such distributions must meet the minimum
distribution incidental benefit requirements. Any changes in the designation will be considered to be a revocation of the designation. However, the mere substitution or addition of another Beneficiary (one not named in the designation) under the
designation will not be considered to be a revocation of the designation, so long as such substitution or addition does not alter the period over which distributions are to be made under the designation, directly or indirectly (for example, by
altering the relevant measuring life). 

  

	(K)	In the case in which an amount is transferred or rolled over from one Plan to another Plan, the rules in Treasury Regulations 1.401(a)(9)-8, Q&A-14 and Q&A-15, shall apply.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 LOAN PROGRAM 
 Section 8.1 General Provisions 
 An Employer may, at its option, make available the loan program described herein for any Member (and, if applicable under Section 8.8 of this Article VIII, any
Beneficiary), subject to applicable law (including but not limited to Code Section 72(p) and the Regulations thereunder). The Employer shall so designate its adoption of the loan program and the terms and provisions of its operation in the
Adoption Agreement. There shall be a reasonable origination fee and/or an annual administration fee assessed to the Member’s Account for each loan made to a Member or Beneficiary. In the event that amounts are transferred to the Plan from a
retirement plan subject to Code Section 401(a)(11), no loans may be made from a married Member’s Account without the written consent of such Member’s Spouse (in accordance with the spousal consent rules set forth under
Section 7.3). In the event the Employer elects to permit loans to be made from rollover contributions and earnings thereon, as designated in the Adoption Agreement, loans shall be available from the Accounts of any Employees of the Employer who
have not yet become Members. Only one loan may be made to a Member in the Plan Year, except that if an Employer provides in the Adoption Agreement to make loans available from Employee rollover contributions and the earnings thereon, a Member will
be permitted to request a second loan in the Plan Year to the extent of Employee rollover contributions and earnings thereon subject to any other limitations provided under this Article. 
 The Employer may elect, in the Adoption Agreement, to make the loan program available only in the event of hardship or financial necessity. Hardship or financial necessity is defined as a significant health expense or
a loss of income due to illness or Disability incurred by a Member, or the death of a Member or an immediate family member of a Member. Hardship or financial necessary also includes the purchase of a Member’s principal place of residence as
well as paying for a college education (including graduate studies) for either a Member or a Member’s dependents. 
 The Employer may also elect in the
Adoption Agreement to limit the number of outstanding loans a Member may have at any given time. 
 Section 8.2 Loan Application 
 Subject to the restrictions described in the paragraph immediately following, a Member in Employment may borrow from his Account in each of the available Investment Funds
by filing a loan application with the TPA. Such application (hereinafter referred to as a “completed application”) shall (i) specify the terms pursuant to which the loan is requested to be made and (ii) provide such information
and documentation as the TPA shall require, including a note, duly executed by the Member, granting a security interest of an amount not greater than 50% of his vested Account, to secure the loan. With respect to such Member, the completed
application shall authorize the repayment of the loan through payroll deductions. Such loan will become effective upon the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the date on which his completed application and other required documents were
submitted, subject to the same conditions with respect to the amount to be transferred under this Section which are specified in the Plan procedures for determining the amount of payments made under Article VII of the Plan. 
 If a Member’s Account is subject to the joint and survivor and preretirement survivor annuity rules under Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417, the Member must obtain
the consent of his or her spouse, if any, to the use of the Member’s Account Balance as security for the loan. Spousal consent shall be obtained no earlier than the beginning of the 90-day period that ends on the date on which the loan is to be
so secured. The consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of the loan, and must be witnessed by a plan representative or notary public. Such consent shall thereafter be binding with respect to the consenting spouse or any subsequent
spouse with respect to that loan. A new consent shall be required if the Member’s Account Balance is used for renegotiation, extension, renewal, or other revision of the loan. 
 The Employer shall establish standards in accordance with the Code and ERISA which shall be uniformly applicable to all Members eligible to borrow from their interests in the Trust Fund similarly situated and shall
govern the TPA’s approval or disapproval of completed applications. The terms for each loan shall be set solely in accordance with such standards. 
  

 46 

 The TPA shall, in accordance with the established standards, review and approve or disapprove a completed application as
soon as practicable after its receipt thereof, and shall promptly notify the applying Member of such approval or disapproval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TPA may defer its review of a completed application, or defer payment of the proceeds of
an approved loan, if the proceeds of the loan would otherwise be paid during the period commencing on December 1 and ending on the following January 31. 
 Subject to the preceding paragraph and Section 8.6, upon approval of a completed application, the TPA shall cause payment of the loan to be made from the available Investment Fund(s) in the same proportion that the designated portion
of the Member’s Account is invested at the time of the loan, and the relevant portion of the Member’s interest in such Investment Fund(s) shall be cancelled and shall be transferred in cash to the Member. The TPA shall maintain sufficient
records regarding such amounts to permit an accurate crediting of repayments of the loan. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VIII to the
contrary, if an Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to condition loans based upon a Member’s demonstrated hardship or financial necessity, the Plan Administrator, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, shall determine whether a
Member has incurred a hardship or financial necessity following the Member filing a loan application with the TPA.  
 Section 8.3 Permitted
Loan Amount 
 The amount of each loan may not be less than $1,000 nor more than the maximum amount as described below. The maximum amount available for
loan under the Plan (when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans from the Plan to the borrowing Member) shall not exceed the lesser of: (a) $50,000 reduced by the excess (if any) of (i) the highest outstanding loan balance
attributable to the Account of the Member requesting the loan from the Plan during the one-year period ending on the day preceding the date of the loan, over (ii) the outstanding balance of all other loans from the Plan to the Member on the
date of the loan, or (b) 50% of the value of the Member’s vested portion of his Account as of the Valuation Date on or next following the date on which the TPA receives the completed application for the loan and all other required
documents. In determining the maximum amount that a Member may borrow, all vested assets of his Account will be taken into consideration, provided that, where the Employer has not elected to make a Member’s entire Account available for loans or
where a Member’s Account contains investments in a self-directed brokerage account which shall not be available for loans, in no event shall the amount of the loan exceed the value of such vested portion of the Member’s Account from which
loans are permissible. 
 Section 8.4 Source of Funds for Loan 
 The amount of the loan will be deducted from the Member’s Account in the available Investment Funds in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Article VIII and the Plan procedures for determining the amount of
payments made under Article VII. To the extent the Employer permits Members to take loans from one or more of the portions of their Accounts, as designated in the Adoption Agreement, loans shall be deemed to be taken in the following order:

  

	 	1.	Vested Employer profit sharing contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	2.	Employer qualified nonelective contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	3.	Member’s 401(k) deferrals plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	4.	Member’s Roth 401(k) contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	5.	Member’s safe harbor CODA contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	6.	Vested Employer basic contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	7.	Vested Employer supplemental contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

 47 

	 	8.	Vested Employer matching contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	9.	Member’s rollover contributions plus earnings thereon. 

  

	 	10.	Member’s after-tax contributions made after December 31, 1986 plus earnings on all of the Member’s after-tax contributions. 

  

	 	11.	Member’s after-tax contributions made prior to January 1, 1987. 

 Section 8.5 Conditions of Loan 
  

	(A)	Loans shall be made available to all Members and Beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent basis. 

  

	(B)	Repayment of all loans under the Plan shall be secured by 50% of the Member’s vested interest in his Account, determined as of the origination of such loan.

  

	(C)	Loans shall not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees (as defined in Plan Section 1.2(U)) in an amount greater than the amount made available to other Employees.

  

	(D)	Each loan to a Member under the Plan shall be repaid in level monthly amounts through regular payroll deductions after the effective date of the loan, and continuing thereafter with
each payroll. Except as otherwise required by the Code and the IRS Regulations, each loan shall have a repayment period of not less than 12 months and not in excess of 60 months, unless the purpose of the loan is for the purchase of a primary
residence, in which case the loan may be for not more than 180 months. After the first three (3) monthly payments of the loan have been satisfied, the Member may pay the outstanding loan balance (including accrued interest from the due date).

  

	(E)	Loans must be adequately secured and bear a reasonable interest rate. The rate of interest for the term of the loan will be established as of the loan date, and will be the
Barron’s Prime Rate (base rate) plus 1% as published on the last Saturday of the preceding month, or such other rate as may be required by applicable law and determined by reference to the prevailing interest rate charged by commercial lenders
under similar circumstances. The applicable rate would then be in effect through the last business day of the month. 

  

	(F)	No Member loan shall exceed the present value of the Member’s vested Account Balance. 

  

	(G)	In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of security will not occur until a distributable event occurs in the Plan. 

  

	(H)	Loan repayments will be suspended under the Plan as permitted under Code Section 414(u)(4). 

 Section 8.6 Crediting of Repayment 
 Upon lending any amount to a Member, the TPA shall establish and maintain a
loan receivable account with respect to, and for the term of, the loan. The allocations described in this Section shall be made from the loan receivable account. Upon receipt of each monthly installment payment and the crediting thereof to the
Member’s loan receivable account, there shall be allocated to the Member’s Account in the available Investment Funds, in accordance with his most recent investment instructions, the principal portion of the installment payment plus that
portion of the interest equal to the rate determined in Section 8.5 of this Article VIII. The unpaid balance owed by a Member on a loan under the Plan shall not reduce the amount credited to his Account. However, from the time of payment of the
proceeds of the loan to the Member, such Account shall be deemed invested, to the extent of such unpaid balance, in such loan until the complete repayment thereof or distribution from such Account. Any loan repayment shall first be deemed allocable
to the portions of the Member’s Account on the basis of a reverse ordering of the manner in which the loan was originally distributed to the Member. 
  

 48 

 Section 8.7 Cessation of Payments on Loan 
 If a Member, while employed, fails to make a monthly installment payment when due, as specified in the completed application, subject to applicable law, he will be deemed to have received a distribution of the
outstanding balance of the loan. If such default occurs after the first three (3) monthly payments of the loan have been satisfied, the Member may pay the outstanding balance, including accrued interest from the due date, by the last day of the
calendar quarter following the calendar quarter which contains the due date of the last monthly installment payment, in which case no such distribution will be deemed to have occurred. Subject to applicable law, notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Member that borrows any of his 401(k) deferrals and any of the earnings attributable thereto may not cease to make monthly installment payments while employed and receiving a Salary from the Employer. 
 Except as provided below, upon a Member’s termination of Employment, death or Disability, or the Employer’s termination of the Plan, no further monthly
installment payments may be made. Unless the outstanding balance, including accrued interest from the due date, is paid by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter which contains the date of such occurrence, the Member
will be deemed to have received a distribution of the outstanding balance of the loan including accrued interest from the due date. 
 Section 8.8
Loans to Former Members 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VIII, a member who terminates Employment for any reason shall be permitted
to continue making scheduled repayments with respect to any loan balance outstanding at the time he becomes a terminated Member. In addition, a terminated Member or Beneficiary may elect to initiate a new loan from his Account, subject to the
conditions otherwise described in this Article VIII. If any terminated Member who continues to make repayments or any terminated Member or Beneficiary who borrows from his Account pursuant to this Section 8.8 fails to make a scheduled monthly
installment payment by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter which contains the scheduled payment date, he will be deemed to have received a distribution of the outstanding balance of the loan. 
  

 49 

 ARTICLE IX 
 TRUSTEE AND CUSTODIAN 
 The provisions of this Article, shall not apply if a separate trust agreement is being used
as specified in the Adoption Agreement. For purposes of this Article IX, the term Named Fiduciary shall mean one or more fiduciaries named in accordance with the terms of the Plan who have the power to manage and control assets of the Plan. The term
Fund shall mean assets held pursuant to the Trust created under this Article IX. 
 Section 9.1 Basic Responsibilities of the Trustee 

The Trustee shall hold the assets of, and collect the income and make payments from the Fund, all as hereinafter provided. Except to the extent that assets of the Fund
have been deposited in a collective investment fund maintained by the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be responsible, directly or indirectly, for the investment or reinvestment of the assets of the Fund, which shall be the sole responsibility of the
Named Fiduciary. The Trustee is not a party to, and has no duties or responsibilities under, the Plan other than those that may be expressly contained in this Agreement. As to the responsibilities of the Trustee, in any case in which a provision of
this Agreement conflicts with any provision in the Plan, this Agreement shall control. The Trustee shall have no duties, responsibilities or liability with respect to the acts or omissions of any prior trustee. 
 The Trustee shall have no authority or duty to determine the adequacy of or enforce the collection of contributions under the Plan, shall not be responsible for the
adequacy of the Trust to meet and discharge any liabilities under the Plan and shall have no responsibility for any property until such cash or property is received and accepted by the Trustee. The Employer and the Named Fiduciary shall have the
sole duty and responsibility for ensuring the adequacy of the Trust to discharge the liabilities under the Plan, determining the adequacy of the contributions to be made under the Plan, transmitting the contributions to the Trustee and ensuring
compliance with any statute, regulation or rule applicable to contributions. 
 Except as may be permitted by law or by the terms of the Plan or this
Agreement, at no time prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to Members and their Beneficiaries under the Plan shall any part of the Trust be used for or diverted to any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the Members
and their Beneficiaries. The assets of the Trust shall be held for the exclusive purposes of providing benefits to Members of the Plan and their Beneficiaries and defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and the Trust. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (i) if a contribution is conditioned upon a favorable determination as to the qualified status of the Plan
under Code Section 401 and the Plan receives an adverse determination with respect to its initial qualification, then any such contribution may be returned to the Employer within one year after the date of determination; (ii) a
contribution made by the Employer based upon mistake of fact may be returned to the Employer within one year after the date of such contribution; and (iii) if a contribution to the Plan is conditioned upon its deductibility under the Code and a
deduction for such a contribution is disallowed, such contribution may be returned to the Employer within one year after the date of the disallowance of such deduction. 
 The Trustee shall make distributions and payments out of the Fund as directed by the Named Fiduciary and amounts distributed or paid pursuant to such direction thereafter no longer shall constitute a part of the Fund.
The Named Fiduciary may direct such distributions and payments to be made to any person, including the Named Fiduciary or an Employer, or to any paying agent designated by the Named Fiduciary, in such amounts and in such form and for such purposes
as the Named Fiduciary shall direct. Any such order shall constitute a certification that the payment is one the Named Fiduciary is authorized to direct. The Named Fiduciary shall have the exclusive responsibility, and the Trustee shall not have any
responsibility or duty under this Agreement, for ensuring that any payment made from the Fund at the direction of the Named Fiduciary does not constitute a diversion of the assets of the Fund and for determining that any such distribution is in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable law, including, without limitation, determining the amount, timing or method of payment and the identity of each person to whom such payments shall be made. 
 The Trustee shall have no responsibility or duty to determine the tax effect of any payment or to see to the application of any payment. The Trustee shall not be
required to make any payment from the Fund in excess 
  

 50 

 of the net realizable value of the assets of the Fund or to make any payment in cash unless there is sufficient cash in
the Fund or the Named Fiduciary has provided written instructions as to the assets to be converted to cash for the purpose of making the distribution. If a dispute arises as to who is entitled to or should receive any benefit or payment, the Trustee
may withhold or cause to be withheld such payment until the dispute is resolved. 
 The Employer shall identify the Named Fiduciary to the Trustee and shall
furnish the Trustee with a written list of the names, signatures and extent of authority of all persons authorized to direct the Trustee and otherwise act on behalf of the Employer under the terms of this Agreement. The Named Fiduciary will provide
the Trustee with a written list of the names, signatures and extent of authority of all persons authorized to act on behalf of the Named Fiduciary. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon direction from
an authorized party until notified in writing by the Employer or the Named Fiduciary, as appropriate, of a change of the identity of an authorized party. 
 All directions and instructions to the Trustee from a party who has been authorized to act on behalf of the Employer or the Named Fiduciary shall be in writing, transmitted by mail or by facsimile or shall be an electronic transmission,
provided the Trustee may, in its discretion, accept oral directions and instructions and may require confirmation in writing of any such oral directions and instructions. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on and shall be fully protected in
acting in accordance with all such directions and instructions which the Trustee reasonably believes to have been given by a party who has been authorized to act on behalf of the Employer or the Named Fiduciary. 
 All fiduciaries (within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A) of ERISA) under the Plan shall discharge their fiduciary duties with the care, skill, prudence and diligence
under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. 
 Section 9.2 Investment Powers and Duties of Trustee 
 The Named
Fiduciary, from time to time and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shall direct the Trustee to establish one or more separate investment accounts under the Trust (each such separate account hereinafter referred to as an “Investment
Fund”). The Trustee shall transfer to each such Investment Fund such portion of the assets of the Fund as the Named Fiduciary directs. The assets which have been allocated to an Investment Fund shall be invested and reinvested in accordance
with the instructions of the Named Fiduciary, which shall have exclusive responsibility therefore. The Trustee shall be under no duty to question, and shall not incur any liability on account of following, the instructions of the Named Fiduciary,
with respect to any Investment Fund or the investment or reinvestment of any assets of the Fund or any Investment Fund, nor to make suggestions to the Named Fiduciary in connection therewith or to determine the compliance of such instructions with
the Plan or applicable law, including, without limitation, the requirements of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, any opportunity costs) resulting from any
investment directions given or omitted by the Named Fiduciary and the Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, cost or expenses associated with the investment decisions of the Named Fiduciary, including, without limitation, any losses, costs or
expenses associated with the selection of investments by the Named Fiduciary, actual investments directed by the Named Fiduciary and the market risks associated with such selections and directions. If the Trustee is directed to deliver property
against payment, the Trustee shall have no liability for non-receipt of such payment. 
 Unless the Trustee is otherwise directed by the Named Fiduciary, all
interest, dividends and other income received with respect to, and all proceeds received from the sale or other disposition of, assets of an Investment Fund shall be credited to and reinvested in such Investment Fund, and all expenses of the Fund
which are properly allocable to a particular Investment Fund shall be so allocated and charged. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Named Fiduciary may direct the Trustee to eliminate an Investment Fund or Funds, and the Trustee thereupon
shall dispose of the assets of such Investment Fund or Funds and reinvest the proceeds thereof in accordance with the instructions of the Named Fiduciary.

limitation, counsel fees); 

  

	 	(12)	Employ suitable agents and legal counsel, who may be counsel for an Employer, and, as a part of its reimbursable expenses under this Agreement, to pay their reasonable Compensation

	 	(16)	Generally take all action, whether or not expressly authorized, which the Trustee may deem necessary or desirable for the fulfillment of its duties hereunder.

  

	(B)	Directed Powers of Trustee 

 In addition to the

	 	(1)	Invest and reinvest in property, provided that in no case without the consent of the Trustee will the assets of the Fund be invested in assets other than units of collective
investment funds; 

  

	 	(2)	Settle purchases and sell, exchange, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of any property at any time held by the Trustee, by private contract or at public auction, for cash or on

expediency or propriety of any such sale or other disposition; 

  

	 	(3)	Engage in other transactions, including free receipts and deliveries, exchanges and other voluntary corporate actions, with respect to property received by the Trustee;

  

	 	(4)	Hold any part of the Fund in cash or cash balances and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the payment of interest on such balances; 

  

	 	(5)	Make loans from the Fund to Members of the Plan, which shall be secured by the Member’s Account balance; however, the Named Fiduciary shall have full and exclusive
responsibility for loans made to Members, including, without limitation, full and exclusive responsibility for the following: development of procedures and documentation for such loans; acceptance of loan applications; approval of loan applications;
disclosure of interest rate information required by Regulation Z of the Federal Reserve Board promulgated pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. §1601 et seq.; ensuring that such loans shall bear a reasonable rate of interest (within
the meaning of Regulation §2550.408(b)(1) promulgated by the Department of Labor); acting as agent of the Trustee for the physical custody and safekeeping of the promissory notes and other loan documents; performing necessary and appropriate
recordkeeping and accounting functions with respect to loan transactions; enforcement of promissory note terms, including, but not limited to, directing the Trustee to take specified actions to enforce its rights under the documents relating to Plan
loans, including, without limitation, the occurrence of events of default and maintenance of accounts and records regarding interest and principal payments on notes. The Trustee shall not in any way be responsible for holding or reviewing such
documents, records and procedures and shall be entitled to rely upon such information as is provided by the Named Fiduciary or its own sub-agent or record keeper without any requirement or responsibility to inquire as to the completeness or accuracy
thereof, but may from time to time examine such documents, records and procedures as it deems appropriate. Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Named Fiduciary, the Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to file a UCC-1 form or take
other action in order to perfect its security interest in the accounts of a Member to whom a loan is made. The Employer shall indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers and Employees harmless from all claims, liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any action or inaction of the Named Fiduciary with respect to its agency responsibilities described herein with respect to Member loans and this indemnification
shall survive the termination of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(6)	 Deposit cash in interest bearing accounts in the banking department of the Trustee, the 

  

 53

Employer; and 
  

	 	(7)	Invest in any collective investment fund, including any collective investment fund maintained by the Trustee or an affiliate. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the
custody or safekeeping of assets transferred to any collective investment trust not maintained by the Trustee. To the extent that any investment is made in any such collective investment fund, the terms of the collective trust indenture shall solely
govern the investment duties, responsibilities and powers of the trustee of such collective investment fund and, to the extent required by law or by such indenture, such terms, responsibilities and powers shall be incorporated herein by reference
and shall be a part of this Agreement. For purposes of valuation, the value of the interest maintained by the Fund in any such collective investment fund shall be the fair market value of the collective investment fund units held, determined in
accordance with generally recognized valuation procedures. The Employer expressly understands and agrees that any such collective investment fund may provide for the lending of its securities by the collective investment fund trustee and that such
collective investment fund trustee will receive Compensation from the borrowers for the lending of securities that is separate from any Compensation of the Trustee hereunder, or any Compensation of the collective investment fund trustee for the
management of such fund;

 The Trustee shall discharge its
duties under this Agreement with the care and skill required under ERISA with respect to its duties. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of title thereto received by it or delivered
by it pursuant to this Agreement and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice, request, direction, instruction, consent, certification or other instrument believed by it to be genuine and delivered by the proper party or parties. The duties
of the Trustee shall only be those specifically undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or by separate written agreement. 
  

	(D)	Force Majeure 

 The Trustee shall not be responsible
or liable for any losses to the Fund resulting from nationalization, expropriation, devaluation, seizure, or similar action by any governmental authority, de facto or de jure; or enactment, promulgation, imposition or enforcement by any such
governmental authority of currency restrictions, exchange controls, levies or other charges affecting the Fund’s property; or acts of war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or acts of God; or any other similar event beyond the control of
the Trustee or its agents. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 9.3 Powers and Duties of Custodian

 If there is a discretionary Trustee, the Employer may appoint a custodian. A custodian has the same powers, rights and duties as a nondiscretionary
Trustee. Any reference in the Plan to a Trustee also is a reference to a custodian unless the context of the Plan indicates otherwise. A limitation of the Trustee’s liability by Plan provision also acts as a limitation of the custodian’s
liability. Any action taken by the custodian at the discretionary Trustee’s direction satisfied any provision in the Plan referring to the Trustee taking that action. The resignation or removal of the custodian shall be made in accordance with
Section 9.6 as though the custodian were a Trustee. 
 Section 9.4 Trustee’s Compensation, Expenses, Taxes and Indemnification

 The Trustee shall be entitled to Compensation for services under this Plan as mutually agreed by the Employer and the Trustee, unless already receiving
full time Compensation from the Employer. The Trustee shall also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by it in the discharge of its duties under this Plan. Consistent with applicable law, the Trustee is authorized to charge
and collect from the Fund any and all such fees and expenses to the extent such fees and expenses are not paid directly by the Employer, another Employer or by Pentegra (acting on behalf of the Employer or such other Employer). 
  

 54 

 All amounts (including taxes) paid from the Trust Fund which are allocable to an Investment Fund shall be charged to such
Investment Fund in accordance with this Plan. All such expenses which are not so allocable shall be charged against each of the Investment Funds in the same proportion as the value of the total assets held in such Investment Fund bears to the value
of the total assets in the Fund. 
 To the extent the Trustee advances funds to the Fund for disbursements or to effect the settlement of purchase
transactions, the Trustee shall be entitled to collect from the Fund an amount equal to what would have been earned on the sums advanced (an amount approximating the “federal funds” interest rate). 
 To the extent that the Employer or Named Fiduciary has provided necessary information to the Trustee, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Employer or
the Named Fiduciary with respect to any tax obligations. The Employer or Named Fiduciary shall notify the Trustee of any tax obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any tax obligations
now or hereafter imposed on any Employer or the Fund by any taxing authorities, domestic or foreign, except as provided by applicable law. 
 To the extent
the Trustee is responsible under any applicable law for any tax obligation, the Employer or the Named Fiduciary shall inform the Trustee of all tax obligations, shall direct the Trustee with respect to the performance of such tax obligations, and
shall provide the Trustee with all information required by the Trustee to meet such tax obligations. All such tax obligations shall be paid from the Trust Fund unless paid by the Employer or another Employer. 
 The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its directors, officers and Employees from all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Plan, except those resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. This indemnification (as well as any
other indemnification in this Plan) shall survive the termination of this Plan. If the Trustee is acting as a successor trustee or succeeds to responsibilities hereunder for trusteeship of Plan assets with respect to the Trust Fund (or any portion
thereof), the Employer hereby agrees to hold the Trustee harmless from and against any tax, claim, liability, loss, damage or expense incurred by or assessed against it as such successor as a direct or indirect result of any act or omission of a
predecessor trustee or any other person under the Plan, except for such taxes, claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses attributable to the Trustee’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 Section 9.5 Reporting and Recordkeeping 
 The Trustee shall keep
full and accurate records of all receipts, investments, disbursements, and other transactions hereunder, including such specific records as may be agreed upon in writing between the Employer and the Trustee. Within ninety (90) days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Trust or within ninety (90) days after its removal or resignation or the termination of this Plan, the Trustee shall file with the Employer a written account of the administration of the Fund showing all
transactions effected by the Trustee and all property held by the Fund at its fair market value for the accounting period. If, within ninety (90) days after the Trustee mails such account to the Employer, the Employer has not given the Trustee
written notice of any exception or objection thereto, the statement shall be deemed to have been approved, and in such case, the Trustee shall not be liable for any matters in such statements. Upon prior written notice, the Employer or its agent
shall have the right at its own expense to inspect the Trustee’s books and records directly relating to the Fund during normal business hours. If for any reason the Trustee fails to file an account required of the Trustee within the applicable
times specified hereunder, such account shall be filed by the Trustee after the expiration of such time as soon as is reasonably practicable. To the extent that the Trustee shall be required to value the assets of the Fund, the Trustee may rely for
all purposes of this Plan upon any certified appraisal or other form of valuation submitted by the Named Fiduciary, Pentegra, any investment manager or other third party appointed by the Named Fiduciary. Nothing in this Section shall impair
Trustee’s right to judicial settlement of any account rendered by it. In any such proceeding the only necessary parties shall be the Trustee, the Employer and any other party whose participation is required by law, and any judgment, decree or
final order entered shall be conclusive on all persons having an interest in the trust. The fiscal year of the Trust shall be the Plan Year as established under the terms of the Plan. 
  

 55 

 The duties of the Trustee shall be limited to the assets held in the Fund, and the Trustee shall have no duties with
respect to assets held by any other person including, without limitation, any other trustee for the Plan unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Employer hereby agrees that the Trustee shall not serve as, and shall not be deemed to be, a co-trustee
under any circumstances. The Named Fiduciary may request the Trustee to perform a recordkeeping service with respect to property held by others and not otherwise subject to the terms of this Plan. To the extent the Trustee shall agree to perform
this service, its sole responsibility shall be to accurately reflect information on its books which it has received from the Named Fiduciary. 
 Section 9.6 Amendment, Termination, Resignation and Removal 
 The provisions of this Section 9 may be amended by written agreement
signed by the Employer and the Trustee. This Plan may be terminated at any time by the Employer by written instrument delivered to the Trustee. Thereafter, the Trustee shall distribute all assets of the Fund, less any fees and expenses payable from
the Fund with respect to the Plan, pursuant to instructions of the Named Fiduciary. The Trustee may condition its delivery, transfer or distribution of any assets upon the Trustee’s receiving assurances reasonably satisfactory to it that the
approval of appropriate governmental or other authorities has been secured and that all notices and other procedures required by applicable law have been complied with. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume that such distributions are in full
compliance with and not in violation of the terms of the Plan or any applicable law. 
 The Trustee may be removed with respect to all or part of the Fund
upon receipt of sixty (60) days’ written notice (unless a shorter or longer period is agreed upon) from the Employer. The Trustee may resign as Trustee hereunder upon sixty (60) days’ written notice (unless a shorter or longer
period is agreed upon) delivered to the Employer. In the event of such removal or resignation, a successor trustee will be appointed and the retiring Trustee shall transfer the Fund, less such amounts as may be reasonable and necessary to cover its
Compensation and expenses. In the event the Employer fails to appoint a successor trustee within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of resignation, the Trustee reserves the right to seek the appointment of a successor trustee from a
court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee shall have no duties, responsibilities or liability with respect to the acts or omissions of any successor trustee. 
 The Trustee reserves the right to retain such property as is not suitable for distribution or transfer at the time of the termination of a Plan or this Agreement and shall hold such property for the benefit of those persons or other
entities entitled to such property until such time as the Trustee is able to make distribution. Upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor trustee, the Trustee’s sole duties shall be those of a custodian with respect to any property not
transferred to the successor trustee.

 58 

	(D)	The Investment Manager 

 Any Investment Manager
appointed pursuant to Section 9.4 shall have sole responsibility for the investment of the portion of the assets of the Trust Fund to be managed and controlled by such Investment Manager. An Investment Manager may place orders for the purchase
and sale of securities directly with brokers and dealers. 
 Section 10.3 No Joint Fiduciary Responsibilities 
 This Article IX is intended to allocate to each Fiduciary the individual responsibility for the prudent execution of the functions assigned to him, and none of such
responsibilities or any other responsibilities shall be shared by two or more of such Fiduciaries unless such sharing is provided by a specific provision of the Plan or any related Trust Agreement. Whenever one Fiduciary is required to follow the
directions of another Fiduciary, the two Fiduciaries shall not be deemed to have been assigned a shared responsibility, but the responsibility of the Fiduciary giving the directions shall be deemed his sole responsibility, and the responsibility of
the Fiduciary receiving those directions shall be to follow them insofar as such instructions are on their face proper under applicable law. To the extent that fiduciary responsibilities are allocated to an Investment Manager, such responsibilities
are so allocated solely to such Investment Manager alone, to be exercised by such Investment Manager alone and not in conjunction with any other Fiduciary, and the Trustee shall be under no obligation to manage any asset of the Trust Fund which is
subject to the management of such Investment Manager. 
 Section 10.4 Investment Manager 
 The Employer may appoint a qualified Investment Manager or Managers to manage any portion or all of the assets of the Trust Fund. For the purpose of this Plan and the
related Trust, a “qualified Investment Manager” means an individual, firm or corporation who has been so appointed by the Employer to serve as Investment Manager hereunder, and who is and has acknowledged in writing that he is (a) a
Fiduciary with respect to the Plan, (b) bonded as required by ERISA, and (c) either (i) registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, (ii) a bank as defined in said Act, or (iii) an insurance
company qualified to perform investment management services under the laws of more than one state of the United States. 
 Any such appointment shall be by a
vote of the Board of Directors of the Employer naming the Investment Manager so appointed and designating the portion of the assets of the Trust Fund to be managed and controlled by such Investment Manager. Said vote shall be evidenced by a
certificate in writing signed by the duly authorized officer of the Board and shall become effective on the date specified in such certificate but not before delivery to the Trustee of a copy of such certificate, together with a written
acknowledgment by such Investment Manager of the facts specified in the second sentence of this Section. 
 Section 10.5 Advisor to Fiduciary 

 A Fiduciary may employ one or more persons to render advice concerning any responsibility such Fiduciary has under the Plan and related Trust Agreement.

 Section 10.6 Service in Multiple Capacities 
 Any
person or group of persons may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan, specifically including service both as Plan Administrator and as a Trustee of the Trust; provided, however, that no person may serve in a fiduciary
capacity who is precluded from so serving pursuant to Section 411 of ERISA. 
 Section 10.7 Appointment of Plan Administrator 
 The Employer shall designate the Plan Administrator in the Adoption Agreement. The Plan Administrator may be an individual, a committee of two or more individuals,
whether or not, in either such case, the individual or any of such individuals are Employees of the Employer, a consulting firm or other independent agent, the Trustee (with its consent), the Board of the Employer, or the Employer itself. Except as
the Employer shall otherwise expressly determine, the Plan Administrator shall be charged with the full power and responsibility for administering the Plan in all its details. If no Plan Administrator has been appointed by the Employer, or if

  

 59 

 the person designated as Plan Administrator is not serving as such for any reason, the Employer shall be deemed to be the
Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may be removed by the Employer or may resign by giving written notice to the Employer, and, in the event of the removal, resignation, death or other termination of service of the Plan Administrator, the
Employer shall, as soon as is practicable, appoint a successor Plan Administrator, such successor thereafter to have all of the rights, privileges, duties and obligations of the predecessor Plan Administrator. 
 Section 10.8 Powers of the Plan Administrator 
 The Plan
Administrator is hereby vested with all powers and authority necessary in order to carry out its duties and responsibilities in connection with the administration of the Plan as herein provided, and is authorized to make such rules and regulations
as it may deem necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The Plan Administrator may from time to time appoint agents to perform such functions involved in the administration of the Plan as it may deem advisable. The
Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to determine any questions arising in the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, including any questions submitted by the Trustee on a matter necessary for it to properly
discharge its duties; and the decision of the Plan Administrator shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. 
 Section 10.9 Duties of the Plan
Administrator 
 The Plan Administrator shall keep on file a copy of the Plan and the Trust Agreement(s), including any subsequent amendments, and all
annual reports of the Trustee(s), and such annual reports or registration statements as may be required by the laws of the United States, or other jurisdiction, for examination by Members in the Plan during reasonable business hours. Upon request by
any Member, the Plan Administrator shall furnish him with a statement of his interest in the Plan as determined by the Plan Administrator as of the close of the preceding Plan Year. 
 Section 10.10 Action by the Plan Administrator 
 In the event that there shall at any time be two or more persons
who constitute the Plan Administrator, such persons shall act by concurrence of a majority thereof. 
 Section 10.11 Discretionary Action

 Wherever, under the provisions of this Plan, the Plan Administrator is given any discretionary power or powers, such power or powers shall not be
exercised in such manner as to cause any discrimination prohibited by the Code in favor of or against any Member, Employee or class of Employees. Any discretionary action taken by the Plan Administrator hereunder shall be consistent with any prior
discretionary action taken by it under similar circumstances and to this end the Plan Administrator shall keep a record of all discretionary action taken by it under any provision hereof. 
 Section 10.12 Compensation and Expenses of Plan Administrator 
 Employees of the Employer shall serve without Compensation for services as Plan Administrator, but all expenses of the Plan Administrator shall be paid by the Employer or in accordance with Section 10.2. Such expenses shall include any
expenses incidental to the functioning of the Plan, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, accounting and clerical charges, and other costs of administering the Plan. Non-Employee Plan Administrators shall receive such Compensation as
the Employer shall determine. 
 Section 10.13 Reliance on Others 
 The Plan Administrator and the Employer shall be entitled to rely upon all valuations, certificates and reports furnished by the Trustee(s), upon all certificates and reports made by an accountant or actuary selected
by the Plan Administrator and approved by the Employer and upon all opinions given by any legal counsel selected by the Plan Administrator and approved by the Employer, and the Plan Administrator and the Employer shall be fully protected in respect
of any action taken or suffered by them in good faith in reliance upon such Trustee(s), accountant, actuary or counsel and all action so taken or suffered shall be conclusive upon each of them and upon all Members, retired Members, and Former
Members and their Beneficiaries, and all other persons. 
  

 60 

 Section 10.14 Self Interest 
 No person who is the Plan Administrator shall have any right to decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or to any of his rights or benefits under the Plan. Any such decision shall be made by another Plan
Administrator or the Employer. 
 Section 10.15 Personal Liability - Indemnification 
 The Plan Administrator shall not be personally liable by virtue of any instrument executed by him or on his behalf. Neither the Plan Administrator, the Employer, nor any
of its officers or directors shall be personally liable for any action or inaction with respect to any duty or responsibility imposed upon such person by the terms of the Plan unless such action or inaction is judicially determined to be a breach of
that person’s fiduciary responsibility with respect to the Plan under any applicable law. The limitation contained in the preceding sentence shall not, however, prevent or preclude a compromise settlement of any controversy involving the Plan,
the Plan Administrator, the Employer, or any of its officers and directors. The Employer may advance money in connection with questions of liability prior to any final determination of a question of liability. Any settlement made under this Article
IX shall not be determinative of any breach of fiduciary duty hereunder. 
 The Employer will indemnify every person who is or was a Plan Administrator,
officer or member of the Board or a person who provides services without Compensation to the Plan for any liability (including reasonable costs of defense and settlement) arising by reason of any act or omission affecting the Plan or affecting the
Member or Beneficiaries thereof, including, without limitation, any damages, civil penalty or excise tax imposed pursuant to ERISA; provided (1) that the act or omission shall have occurred in the course of the person’s service as Plan
Administrator, officer of the Employer or member of the Board or was within the scope of the Employment of any Employee of the Employer or in connection with a service provided without Compensation to the Plan, (2) that the act or omission be
in good faith as determined by the Employer, whose determination, made in good faith and not arbitrarily or capriciously, shall be conclusive, and (3) that the Employer’s obligation hereunder shall be offset to the extent of any otherwise
applicable insurance coverage, under a policy maintained by the Employer, or any other person, or other source of indemnification. 
 Section 10.16
Insurance 
 The Plan Administrator shall have the right to purchase such insurance as it deems necessary to protect the Plan and the Trustee from loss
due to any breach of fiduciary responsibility by any person. Any premiums due on such insurance may be paid from Plan assets provided that, if such premiums are so paid, such policy of insurance must permit recourse by the insurer against the person
who breaches his fiduciary responsibility. Nothing in this Article IX shall prevent the Plan Administrator or the Employer, at its, or his, own expense, from providing insurance to any person to cover potential liability of that person as a result
of a breach of fiduciary responsibility, nor shall any provisions of the Plan preclude the Employer from purchasing from any insurance company the right of recourse under any policy by such insurance company. 
 Section 10.17 Claims Procedures 
 Claims for benefits under the
Plan shall be filed with the Plan Administrator on forms supplied by the Employer. Written notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the application thereof is filed unless special circumstances
require an extension of time for processing the claim of up to an additional 90 days. If such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of said initial 90-day
period, and such notice shall indicate the special circumstances which make the postponement appropriate. 
 Section 10.18 Claims Review Procedures

 In the event a claim is denied, the reasons for the denial shall be specifically set forth in the notice described in this Section 10.18 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 request further consideration and review of the claim will be provided. In
addition, the claimant shall be furnished with an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedures. Any Employee, former Employee, or Beneficiary of either, who has been 

  

 61 

 
denied a benefit by a decision of the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 10.17 shall be entitled to request the Plan Administrator to give further
consideration to his claim by filing with the Plan Administrator (on a form which may be obtained from the Plan Administrator) a request for a review of the initial denial of the claim. Such request, together with a written statement of the reasons
why the claimant believes his claim should be allowed, shall be filed with the Plan Administrator no later than 60 days after receipt of the written notification of claim denial provided for in Section 10.17. The Plan Administrator may, in its
sole discretion, then conduct a hearing within the next 60 days, at which the claimant may be represented by an attorney or any other representative of his choosing and at which the claimant shall have an opportunity to submit written and oral
evidence and arguments in support of his claim. At the hearing (or prior thereto upon five (5) business days’ written notice to the Plan Administrator), the claimant or his representative shall have an opportunity to review all documents in the
possession of the Plan Administrator which are pertinent to the claim at issue and its disallowance. A final disposition of the claim shall be made by the Plan Administrator within 60 days of receipt of the appeal unless there has been an extension
of 60 days and shall be communicated in writing to the claimant. Such communication shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include specific reasons for the disposition and specific references to the
pertinent Plan provisions on which the disposition is based. For all purposes under the Plan, such decision on claims (where no review is requested) and decision on review (where review is requested) shall be final, binding and conclusive on all
interested persons as to participation and benefits eligibility, the amount of benefits and as to any other matter of fact or interpretation relating to the Plan.

 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 Section 11.1 General Limitations 
  

	(A)	In order that the Plan be maintained as a qualified plan and trust under the Code, contributions in respect of a Member shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this
Section, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan. The contributions in respect of a Member to which this Section is applicable are his own contributions and/or deferrals and the Employer’s contributions. 

 For purposes of this Section 11.1, a Member’s contributions shall be determined without regard to any rollover contributions as provided in Code
Section 402(a)(5). 
  

	(B)	Limitations on Allocations 

  

	 	(1)	If the Member does not participate in, another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer or a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e)
maintained by the Employer, or an individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), maintained by the employer, or a simplified Employee pension, as defined in Code Section 408(k), maintained by the Employer, which provides
an annual addition as defined in paragraph 12, the amount of Annual Additions which may be credited to the Member’s Account for any limitation year will not exceed the lesser of the maximum permissible amount or any other limitation contained
in this Plan. If the Employer contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Member’s Account would cause the Annual Additions for the limitation year to exceed the maximum permissible amount, the amount contributed or
allocated will be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the limitation year will equal the maximum permissible amount. 

  

	 	(2)	Prior to determining the Member’s actual Compensation for the limitation year, the Employer may determine the maximum permissible amount for a Member on the basis of a
reasonable estimation of the Member’s Compensation for the limitation year, uniformly determined for all Members similarly situated. 

  

	 	(3)	As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the limitation year, the maximum permissible amount for the limitation year will be determined on the basis of the
Member’s actual Compensation for the limitation year. 

  

	 	(4)	If pursuant to paragraph 3 above or as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, there is an excess amount the excess will be disposed of as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	Any nondeductible voluntary Employee contributions (plus attributable earnings), to the extent they would reduce the excess amount, will be returned to the Member;

  

	 	(b)	If after the application of paragraph (a) an excess amount still exists, any elective deferrals (plus attributable earnings), to the extent they would reduce the excess amount,
will be distributed to the Member; 

  

	 	(c)	If after the application of paragraph (b) an excess amount still exists, and the Member is covered by the Plan at the end of the limitation year, the excess amount in the
Member’s Account will be used to reduce employer contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures) for such Member in the next limitation year, and each succeeding limitation year if necessary. 

  

	 	(d)	If after the application of paragraph (b) an excess amount still exists, and the Member is not covered by the Plan at the end of a limitation year, the excess amount will be
held unallocated in a suspense account. The suspense account will be applied to reduce future employer contributions for all remaining Members in the next limitation year, and each succeeding limitation year if necessary. 

 

 63 

	 	(e)	If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a limitation year pursuant to this paragraph 4, it will not participate in the allocation of investment gains and losses. If
a suspense account is in existence at any time during a particular limitation year, all amounts in the suspense account must be allocated and reallocated to Members’ accounts before any employer or any Employee contributions may be made to the
Plan for that limitation year. Except as provided in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph (4), excess amounts may not be distributed to Members or former Members. 

  

	 	(5)	This paragraph applies if, in addition to this Plan, the Member is covered under another qualified master or prototype defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, a
welfare benefit fund maintained by the Employer, an individual medical account maintained by the Employer, or a simplified Employee pension maintained by the Employer, that provides an annual addition as defined in paragraph 12, during any
limitation year. The Annual Additions which may be credited to a Member’s Account under this Plan for any such limitation year will not exceed the maximum permissible amount reduced by the Annual Additions credited to a Member’s account
under the other qualified master and prototype defined contribution plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical accounts, and simplified Employee pensions for the same limitation year. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Member under
other qualified master and prototype defined contribution plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical accounts, and simplified Employee pensions maintained by the Employer are less than the maximum permissible amount and the employer
contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Member’s Account under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the limitation year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so
that the Annual Additions under all such plans and funds for the limitation year will equal the maximum permissible amount. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Member under such other qualified master and prototype defined contribution
plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical accounts, and simplified Employee pensions in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the maximum permissible amount, no amount will be contributed or allocated to the Member’s Account under
this Plan for the limitation year. 

  

	 	(6)	Prior to determining the Member’s actual Compensation for the limitation year, the Employer may determine the maximum permissible amount for a Member in the manner described in
paragraph 2. 

  

	 	(7)	As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the limitation year, the maximum permissible amount for the limitation year will be determined on the basis of the
Member’s actual Compensation for the limitation year. 

  

	 	(8)	If, pursuant to paragraph 7 or as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a Member’s Annual Additions under this Plan and such other plans would result in an excess amount
for a limitation year, the excess amount will be deemed to consist of the Annual Additions last allocated, except that Annual Additions attributable to a simplified Employee pension will be deemed to have been allocated first, followed by Annual
Additions to a welfare benefit fund or individual medical account, regardless of the actual allocation date. 

  

	 	(9)	If an excess amount was allocated to a Member on an allocation date of this Plan which coincides with an allocation date of another plan, the excess amount attributed to this Plan
will be the product of: 

  

	 	(a)	the total excess amount allocated as of such date, times 

  

	 	(b)	the ratio of (i) the Annual Additions allocated to the Member for the limitation year as of such date under this Plan to (ii) the total Annual Additions allocated to the
Member for the limitation year as of such date under this and all the other qualified master or prototype defined contribution plans. 

  

	 	(10)	Any excess amount attributed to this Plan will be disposed in the manner described in paragraph 4. 

  

 64 

	 	(11)	If the Member is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the employer which is not a master or prototype plan, Annual Additions which may be credited
to the Member’s Account under this Plan for any limitation year will be limited in accordance with paragraphs 5 through 10 as though the other plan were a master or prototype plan. 

  

	 	(12)	Definitions 

  

	 	(a)	“Annual Additions.” The sum of the following amounts credited to a Member’s Account for the limitation year: 

  

	 	(i)	Employer contributions; 

  

	 	(ii)	Employee contributions; 

  

	 	(iii)	Forfeitures; 

  

	 	(iv)	Amounts allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), which is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by
the employer are treated as Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan. Also amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after such date, which are attributable to post-retirement
medical benefits, allocated to the separate account of a key Employee, as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3), under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e), maintained by the employer are treated as Annual Additions to a
defined contribution plan; and 

  

	 	(v)	Allocations under a simplified Employee pension. For this purpose, any excess amount applied under paragraphs 4 or 10 in the limitation year to reduce employer contributions will be
considered Annual Additions for such limitation year. 

  

	 	(b)	“Compensation.” 

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	For any self-employed individual, Compensation will mean earned income. 

  

	 	(iii)	For limitation years beginning after December 31, 1991, for purposes of applying the limitations of this article, Compensation for a limitation year is the Compensation
actually paid or made available in gross income during such limitation year. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Compensation for a Member in a defined contribution plan who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code
Section 22(e)(3)) is the Compensation such Member would have received for the limitation year if the Member had been paid at the rate of Compensation paid immediately before becoming permanently and totally disabled. 

 

	 	(iv)	For limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, for purposes of applying the limitations of this article, Compensation paid or made available during such limitation
year shall include any elective deferral (as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3)), and any amount which is contributed or deferred by the employer at the election of the Employee and which is not includible in the gross income of the Employee by
reason of Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4) or 457. 

  

 65 

	 	(c)	“Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation.” $30,000 as adjusted under Code Section 415(d).

and any other entity required to be aggregated with the employer pursuant to regulations under Plan 414(o) of the Code. 

  

	 	(e)	“Excess Amount.” The excess of the Member’s Annual Additions for the limitation year over the maximum permissible amount. 

  

	 	(f)	“Limitation Year.” The limitation year as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. All qualified plans maintained by the employer must use the same limitation
year. If the limitation year is amended to a different 12-consecutive month period, the new limitation year must begin on a date within the limitation year in which the amendment is made. 

  

	 	(g)	“Master or Prototype Plan.” A plan the form of which is the subject of a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service. 

  

	 	(h)	“Maximum Permissible Amount.” 

  

	 	(i)	For limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, except for catch-up contributions described in Code Section 414(v), the annual addition that may be contributed
or allocated to a Member’s Account under the Plan for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of: 

  

	 	(A)	$40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost of living under Code Section 415(d), or 

  

	 	(B)	100 percent of the Member’s Compensation for the limitation year. 

  

	 	(i)	The Compensation limitation referred to in (a) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code Sections 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)) which is
otherwise treated as an annual addition under Code Sections 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2). 

  

	 	(ii)	If a short limitation year is created because of an amendment changing the limitation year to a different 12-consecutive month period, the maximum permissible amount will not exceed
the defined contribution dollar limitation multiplied by the following fraction: 

 Number of months in the short limitation
year 
 12. 
  

	 	(13)	Membership in the Plan shall not give any Employee the right to be retained in the Employment of the Employer and shall not affect the right of the Employer to discharge any
Employee. 

  

	 	(14)	Each Member, Spouse and Beneficiary assumes all risk in connection with any decrease in the market value of the assets of the Trust Fund. Neither the Employer nor the Trustee
guarantees that upon withdrawal, the value of a Member’s Account will be equal to or greater than the amount of the Member’s own deferrals or contributions, or those credited on his behalf in which the Member has a vested interest, under
the Plan. 

  

 66 

	 	(15)	The establishment, maintenance or crediting of a Member’s Account pursuant to the Plan shall not vest in such Member any right, title or interest in the Trust Fund except at
the times and upon the terms and conditions and to the extent expressly set forth in the Plan and the Trust Agreement. 

  

	 	(16)	The Trust Fund shall be the sole source of payments under the Plan and the Employer, Plan Administrator and TPA assume no liability or responsibility for such payments, and each
Member, Spouse or Beneficiary who shall claim the right to any payment under the Plan shall be entitled to look only to the Trust Fund for such payment. 

 Section 11.2 Top Heavy Provisions 
 The Plan will be considered a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan Year if it is
determined to be a Top Heavy Plan as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year. The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall apply and supersede all other provisions in the Plan during each Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is determined
to be a Top Heavy Plan. 
  

	(A)	For purposes of this Section 11.2, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: 

  

	 	(1)	“Affiliate” shall mean any entity affiliated with the Employer within the meaning of Code Sections 414(b), 414(c) or 414(m), or pursuant to the IRS Regulations under
Code Section 414(o), except that for purposes of applying the provisions hereof with respect to the limitation on contributions, Code Section 415(h) shall apply. 

  

	 	(2)	“Aggregation Group” shall mean (i) the group composed of each qualified retirement plan of the Employer or an Affiliate in which at least one (1) Key Employee
participates during the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years and (ii) any other qualified retirement plan of the Employer or an Affiliate which, during such period, enables a plan of
the Employer or an Affiliate in which a Key Employee participates to satisfy Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410. In addition, the TPA, at the direction of the Plan Administrator, may choose to treat any other qualified retirement plan as a member
of the Aggregation Group if such Aggregation Group will continue to satisfy Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 with such plan being taken into account. 

  

	 	(3)	“Key Employee” for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, “Key Employee” shall mean any 

  

	 	(4)	“Determination Date” shall mean, for any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year. For the first Plan Year of the Plan, the
Determination Date shall be the last day of that year. 

  

	 	(5)	“Key Employee” for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, “Key Employee” shall mean any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee)
who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date is an officer of the Employer having an annual Compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after
December 31, 2002), a 5-percent Owner of the Employer, or a 1 percent owner of the Employer having an annual Compensation of more than $150,000. For purposes of determining who is a Key Employee pursuant to this Subparagraph (3), Compensation
shall have the meaning prescribed in Code Section 415(c)(3). The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability
issued thereunder. 

  

	 	(6)	“Non-Key Employee” shall mean a “Non-Key Employee” as defined in Code Section 416(i)(2) and the IRS Regulations thereunder. 

  

	 	(7)	“Top Heavy Plan” shall mean a “Top Heavy Plan” as defined in Code Section 416(g) and the IRS Regulations thereunder. 

  

 67 

	(B)	Subject to the provisions of Paragraph (C) below, for each Plan Year that the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the Employer’s contribution (including contributions attributable
to salary reduction or similar arrangements) allocable to each Employee (or to all eligible Employees other than Key Employees at the election of the Employer) who has satisfied the eligibility requirement(s) of Article II, Section 2, and who
is in service at the end of the Plan Year, shall not be less than the lesser of (i) 3% of such eligible Employee’s Compensation (as defined in Section 11.1(B)(12)(b)), or (ii) the percentage at which Employer contributions for
such Plan Year are made and allocated on behalf of the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest. For the purpose of determining the appropriate percentage under clause (ii), all defined contribution plans required to be included in an
Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan. Clause (ii) shall not apply if the Plan is required to be included in an Aggregation Group which enables a defined benefit plan also required to be included in said Aggregation Group to satisfy
Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410. 

 If the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan Year and (i) the Employer has elected a
vesting schedule under Article VI for an employer contribution type which does not satisfy the minimum Top Heavy vesting requirements or (ii) if the Employer has not elected a vesting schedule for an employer contribution type, the vested
interest of each Member, who is credited with at least one Hour of Employment on or after the Plan becomes a Top Heavy Plan, for each employer contribution type in his Account described in clause (i) or (ii) above, shall not be less than
the percentage determined in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

				
	 Completed Years of Employment
	  	Vested
Percentage	 
	 Less than 2
	  	0	%
	 2 but less than 3
	  	20	%
	 3 but less than 4
	  	40	%
	 4 but less than 5
	  	60	%
	 5 but less than 6
	  	80	%
	 6 or more
	  	100	%

 Notwithstanding the schedule provided above, if the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan Year and
if an Employer has elected a cliff vesting schedule for an employer contribution type described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the vested interest of each Member, who is credited with at least one Hour of Employment on or after the Plan
becomes a Top Heavy Plan, for such employer contribution type in his Account, shall not be less than the percentage determined in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

				
	 Completed Years of Employment
	  	Vested
Percentage	 
	 Less than 3
	  	0	%
	 3 or more
	  	100	%

 In the event that an Employer elects, in its Adoption Agreement, to use the hour of service method
for determining vesting service, Year of Service shall be substituted for Year of Employment for determining vesting under this Article X. 
 Any qualified nonelective contributions described in Code Section 401(m)(4)(C) shall be treated as employer contributions for purposes of the minimum contribution or benefit requirement of Code Section 416, even if such
contributions are taken into account under the actual deferral percentage test of Code Section 401(k)(3) or under the actual contribution percentage test of Code Section 401(m)(2). 
 Matching contributions allocated to Key Employees shall be treated as employer contributions for purposes of determining the minimum contribution or
benefit under Code Section 416. However, if the Plan uses contributions allocated to Employees other than Key Employees on the basis of Employee contributions or elective contributions to satisfy the minimum contribution requirement, these
contributions are not treated as matching contributions for purposes of applying the requirements of Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988. 
  

	(C)	The TPA shall, to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and in accordance with the IRS Regulations, apply the provisions of this Section 11.2 by taking into account the
benefits payable and the contributions made under any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer, to prevent inappropriate omissions or required duplication of minimum contributions. 

  

 68 

 Section 11.3 Information and Communications 
 Each Employer, Member, Spouse and Beneficiary shall be required to furnish the TPA with such information and data as may be considered necessary by the TPA. All notices, instructions and other communications with
respect to the Plan shall be in such form as is prescribed from time to time by the TPA, shall be mailed by first class mail or delivered personally, and shall be deemed to have been duly given and delivered only upon actual receipt thereof by the
TPA. All information and data submitted by an Employer or a Member, including a Member’s birth date, marital status, salary and circumstances of his Employment and termination thereof, may be accepted and relied upon by the TPA. All
communications from the Employer or the Trustee to a Member, Spouse or Beneficiary shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed by first class mail to the address of such person as last shown on the records of the Plan. 
 Section 11.4 Small Account Balances 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of the Plan, and except as provided in Section 7.3, if the value of all portions of a Member’s Account under the Plan, when aggregated exceeds $500, then the Account will not be distributed without the consent of the
Member prior to age 65 (at the earliest), but if the aggregate value of all portions of his Account is $500 or less, then his Account will be distributed in cash in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the termination of Employment by the
Member. 
 Section 11.5 Amounts Payable to Incompetents, Minors or Estates 
 If the Plan Administrator shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due him
or his estate (unless a prior claim therefore has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid to his Spouse, relative or any other person deemed by the Plan Administrator to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person
otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Trust Fund therefor. 
 Section 11.5 Amounts
Payable to Incompetents, Minors or Estates 
 If the Plan Administrator shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable
to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due him or his estate (unless a prior claim therefore has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid to his Spouse, relative or
any other person deemed by the Plan Administrator to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Trust Fund therefor. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amount payable under the Plan to any individual who has been declared incompetent may only be paid to a court
appointed guardian, a valid power of attorney for said payee, or any other person authorized under state law. 
 Section 11.6 Non-Alienation of
Amounts 
 Except insofar as may otherwise be required by applicable law, or Article VIII, or pursuant to the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order, no amount payable under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge or encumbrance of any kind, and any attempt to so alienate shall be void; nor
shall the Trust Fund in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of any person entitled to any such amount payable; and further, if for any reason any amount payable under the Plan would not devolve upon such person entitled
thereto, then the Employer, in its discretion, may terminate his interest and hold or apply such amount for the benefit of such person or his dependents as it may deem proper. For the purposes of the Plan, a “Qualified Domestic Relations
Order” means any judgment, decree or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) which has been determined by the Plan Administrator, in accordance with procedures established under the Plan, to constitute a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order within the meaning of Code Section 414(p)(1) (or any domestic relations order entered before January 1, 1985). No amounts may be withdrawn under Article VII, and no loans granted under Article VIII, if the TPA has received
a document which may be 
  

 69 

 
determined following its receipt to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order prior to completion of review of such order by the Plan Administrator within the
time period prescribed for such review by the IRS Regulations. 
 Section 11.7 Unclaimed Amounts Payable 
 If the TPA cannot ascertain the whereabouts of any person to whom an amount is payable under the Plan, and if, after five (5) years from the date such payment is due, a
notice of such payment due is mailed to the address of such person, as last shown on the records of the Plan, and within three (3) months after such mailing such person has not filed with the TPA or Plan Administrator written claim therefore, the
Plan Administrator may direct in accordance with ERISA that the payment (including the amount allocable to the Member’s contributions) be cancelled, and used in abatement of the Plan’s administrative expenses, provided that appropriate
provision is made for re-crediting the payment if such person subsequently makes a claim therefore. 
 Section 11.8 Leaves of Absence 

 

	(A)	If the Employer’s personnel policies allow leaves of absence for all similarly situated Employees on a uniformly available basis under the circumstances described in Paragraphs
(B)(1)-(4) below, then contribution allocations and vesting service will continue to the extent provided in Paragraphs (B)(1)-(4). 

  

	(B)	For purposes of the Plan, there are four types of approved Leaves of Absence: 

  

	 	(1)	Nonmilitary leave granted to a Member for a period not in excess of one year during which service is recognized for vesting purposes and the Member is entitled to share in any
supplemental contributions under Article III or forfeitures under Article VI, if any, on a pro-rata basis, determined by the Salary earned during the Plan Year or Contribution Determination Period; or 

  

	 	(2)	Nonmilitary leave or layoff granted to a Member for a period not in excess of one year during which service is recognized for vesting purposes, but the Member is not entitled to
share in any contributions or forfeitures as defined under (1) above, if any, during the period of the leave; or 

  

	 	(3)	To the extent not otherwise required by applicable law, military or other governmental service leave granted to a Member from which he returns directly to the service of the
Employer. Under this leave, a Member may not share in any contributions or forfeitures as defined under (1) above, if any, during the period of the leave, but vesting service will continue to accrue; or 

  

	 	(4)	To the extent not otherwise required by applicable law, a military leave granted at the option of the Employer to a Member who is subject to military service pursuant to an
involuntary call-up in the Reserves of the U.S. Armed Services from which he returns to the service of the Employer within 90 days of his discharge from such military service. Under this leave, a Member is entitled to share in any contributions or
forfeitures as defined under (1) above, if any, and vesting service will continue to accrue. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Member has one or more loans outstanding at the time of this leave, repayments on such
loan(s) may be suspended, if the Member so elects, until such time as the Member returns to the service of the Employer or the end of the leave, if earlier. 

  

	(C)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, effective December 12, 1994, contribution allocations and vesting service with respect to qualified military service
will be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u). Loan repayments will be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code Section 414(u)(4) during such period of qualified military service. 

 Section 11.9 Return of Contributions to Employer 
  

	(A)	In the case of a contribution that is made by an Employer by reason of a mistake of fact, the Employer may request the return to it of such contribution within one year after the
payment of the contribution, provided such refund is made within one year after the payment of the contribution. 

  

 70 

	(B)	In the case of a contribution made by an Employer or a contribution otherwise deemed to be an Employer contribution under the Code, such contribution shall be conditioned upon the
deductibility of the contribution by the Employer under Code Section 404. To the extent the deduction for such contribution is disallowed, in accordance with IRS Regulations, the Employer may request the return to it of such contribution within
one year after the disallowance of the deduction. 

  

	(C)	In the event that the IRS determines that the Plan is not initially qualified under the Code, any contribution made incident to that initial qualification by the Employer must be
returned to the Employer within one year after the date the initial qualification is denied, but only if the application for the qualification is made by the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer’s return for the taxable year in which
the Plan is adopted, or such later date as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe. 

 The contributions returned under (A), (B) or
(C) above may not include any gains on such excess contributions, but must be reduced by any losses. 
 Section 11.10 Controlling Law

 The Plan and all rights thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with ERISA and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.

 ARTICLE XII 
 AMENDMENT & TERMINATION 
 Section 12.1 General 
 While the Plan is intended to be permanent, the Plan may be amended or terminated completely by the Employer at any time by appropriate action of its Board of Directors.
Except where necessary to qualify the Plan or to maintain qualification of the Plan, no amendment shall reduce any interest of a Member existing prior to such amendment. Subject to the terms of the Adoption Agreement, written notice of such
amendment or termination as resolved by the Employer’s Board of Directors shall be given to the Trustee, the Plan Administrator and the TPA. Such notice shall set forth the effective date of the amendment or termination or cessation of
contributions. 
 If the Employer’s plan fails to attain or retain qualification, such plan will no longer participate in this master/prototype plan and
will be considered an individually designed plan. 
 Section 12.2 Termination of Plan and Trust 
 This Plan and any related Trust Agreement shall in any event terminate whenever all property held by the Trustee shall have been distributed in accordance with the terms
hereof. 
 Section 12.3 Liquidation of Trust Assets in the Event of Termination 
 In the event that the Employer’s Board of Directors shall decide to terminate the Plan, or, in the event of complete cessation of Employer contributions, the rights of Members to the amounts standing to their
credit in their Accounts shall be deemed fully vested and the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to either continue the Trust in full force and effect and continue so much of the Plan in full force and effect as is necessary to carry out
the orderly distribution of benefits to Members and their Beneficiaries upon retirement, Disability, death or termination of Employment; or (a) reduce to cash such part or all of the Plan assets as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate;
(b) pay the liabilities, if any, of the Plan; (c) value the remaining assets of the Plan as of the date of notification of termination and proportionately adjust Members’ Account balances; (d) distribute such assets in cash to
the credit of their respective Accounts as of the notification of the termination date; and (e) distribute all balances which have been segregated into a separate fund to the persons entitled thereto; provided that no person in the event of
termination shall be required to accept distribution in any form other than cash. 
 Section 12.4 Partial Termination 
 The Employer may terminate the Plan in part without causing a complete termination of the Plan. In the event a partial termination occurs, the Plan Administrator shall
determine the portion of the Plan assets attributable to the Members affected by such partial termination and the provisions of Section 12.3 shall apply with respect to such portion as if it were a separate fund. 
 Section 12.5 Power to Amend 
  

	(A)	Subject to Section 12.6, the Employer, through its Board of Directors, shall have the power to amend the Plan in any manner which it deems desirable, including, but not by way
of limitation, the right to change or modify the method of allocation of contributions, to change any provision relating to the distribution of payment, or both, of any of the assets of the Trust Fund. Further, the Employer may (i) change the
choice of options in the Adoption Agreement; (ii) add overriding language in the Adoption Agreement when such language is necessary to satisfy Code Sections 415 or 416 because of the required aggregation of multiple plans; and (iii) add
certain model amendments published by the IRS which specifically provide that their adoption will not cause the Plan to be treated as individually designed. An Employer that amends the Plan for any other reason, will be considered to have an
individually designed plan. 

  

 72 

 Any amendment shall become effective upon the vote of the Board of Directors of the Employer, unless such
vote of the Board of Directors of the Employer specifies the effective date of the amendment. 
 Such effective date of the amendment may be
made retroactive to the vote of the Board of Directors, to the extent permitted by law. 
  

	(B)	The Employer expressly recognizes the authority of the Sponsor, Pentegra Services, Inc., to amend the Plan from time to time, except with respect to elections of the Employer in the
Adoption Agreement, and the Employer shall be deemed to have consented to any such amendment. The Employer shall receive a written instrument indicating the amendment of the Plan and such amendment shall become effective as of the date of such
instrument. No such amendment shall in any way impair, reduce or affect any Member’s vested and nonforfeitable rights in the Plan and Trust. 

 Section 12.6 Solely for Benefit of Members, Terminated Members and their Beneficiaries 
 No changes may be made in the Plan which shall
vest in the Employer, directly or indirectly, any interest, ownership or control in any of the present or future assets of the Trust Fund. 
 No part of the
funds of the Trust other than such part as may be required to pay taxes, administration expenses and fees, shall be reduced by any amendment or be otherwise used for or diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Members, retired
Members, Former Members, and their Beneficiaries, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.9 and under applicable law. 
 No amendment shall become
effective which reduces the nonforfeitable percentage of benefit that would be payable to any Member if his Employment were to terminate and no amendment which modifies the method of determining that percentage shall be made effective with respect
to any Member with at least three Years of Service unless such member is permitted to elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of such amendment, to have that percentage determined without regard to such amendment. 
 Section 12.7 Successor to Business of the Employer 
 Unless this
Plan and the related Trust Agreement be sooner terminated, a successor to the business of the Employer by whatever form or manner resulting may continue the Plan and the related Trust Agreement by executing appropriate supplementary agreements and
such successor shall thereupon succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the Employer hereunder. The Employment of any Employee who has continued in the employ of such successor shall not be deemed to have terminated or severed for any purpose
hereunder if such supplemental agreement so provides. 
 Section 12.8 Merger, Consolidation and Transfer 
 The Plan shall not be merged or consolidated, in whole or in part, with any other plan, nor shall any assets or liabilities of the Plan be transferred to any other plan
unless the benefit that would be payable to any affected Member under such plan if it terminated immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer, is equal to or greater than the benefit that would be payable to the affected Member under this
Plan if it terminated immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer. 
 Section 12.9 Revocability 
 This Plan is based upon the condition precedent that it shall be approved by the Internal Revenue Service as qualified under Code Section 401(a) and exempt from
taxation under Code Section 501(a). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a final ruling shall be received in writing from the IRS that the Plan does not initially qualify under the terms of Code Sections 401(a) and
501(a), there shall be no vesting in any Member of assets contributed by the Employer and held by the Trustee under the Plan. Upon receipt of notification from the IRS that the Plan fails to qualify as aforesaid, the Employer reserves the right, at
its option, to either amend the Plan in such manner as may be necessary or advisable so that the Plan may so qualify, or to withdraw and terminate the Plan. 
 Upon the event of withdrawal and termination, the Employer shall notify the Trustee and provide the Trustee with a copy of such ruling and the Trustee shall transfer, and in accordance with applicable law, pay over to 
  

 73 

 the Employer (or, as applicable and to the extent attributable to Member after-tax contributions, 401(k) deferrals or
rollover amounts, to the Members) all of the net assets under the Plan which remain after deducting the proper expense of termination and the Trust Agreement shall thereupon terminate. For purposes of this Article XI, “final ruling” shall
mean either (1) the initial letter ruling from the District Director in response to the Employer’s original application for such a ruling, or (2) if such letter ruling is unfavorable and a written appeal is taken or protest filed
within 60 days of the date of such letter ruling, it shall mean the ruling received in response to such appeal or protest. 
 If the Plan is terminated or
otherwise merged with, or its assets or liabilities are transferred to, another tax-qualified plan, the Plan Administrator shall promptly notify the IRS and such other appropriate governmental authority as applicable law may require and shall notify
the TPA. Neither the Employer nor its Employees shall make any further contributions under the Plan after the termination merger or transfer date, except that the Employer shall remit to the TPA a reasonable administrative fee to be determined by
the TPA for each Member with a balance in his Account to defray the cost of implementing the Plan’s termination, merger or transfer. Where the Employer has terminated the Plan pursuant to this Article, the Employer may elect to transfer assets
from the Plan to a successor plan qualified under Code Section 401(a) in which event the Employer shall remit to the TPA an additional administrative fee to be determined by the TPA to defray the cost of such transfer transaction. 

 

 74 

 TRUSTS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE PLAN 
 Assets of the Plan are held in trust under separate Trust Agreements with the Trustee or Trustees. Any eligible Employee or Member may obtain a copy of these Trust Agreements from the Plan Administrator. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and as conclusive evidence of the adoption of the Plan by the Employer, the Employer has caused these presents to be executed on its behalf and
its corporate seal to be hereunder affixed as of the              day of
                        , 2        .
