For use With
Fidelity Basic Plan Document No. 07
The CORPORATEplan for RetirementSM, Basic Plan Document No. 07, and related Adoption Agreements has not yet received approval from the Internal Revenue Service for use as a prototype plan. The CORPORATEplan for RetirementSM was submitted in April of 1998 to the Internal Revenue Service as a minor modifier to Fidelity Basic Plan Document No. 14. The document is considered an individually-designed plan until it is approved by the Internal Revenue Service. Revisions to the Basic Plan Document and/or Adoption Agreement may be required by the Internal Revenue Service as part of the approval process. If revisions are required, the approved document will be distributed to adopting employers and must be re-executed by them, within a specified time period.
