1.07. Authorized Absence means an unpaid, temporary cessation from active employment with the Employer pursuant to an established nondiscriminatory policy, whether occasioned by illness, military service, or any other reason.

1.08. Beneficiary means an individual, or trustee of a trust for the benefit of an individual, or an estate, as may be determined in connection with the provisions of the Plan.

1.09. Break-in-Service shall have one of the following meanings, as set forth in the Adoption Agreement:

(a) 1,000 Hours of Service Method means the applicable computation period during which an Employee has not completed more than 500 Hours of Service. Further, solely for the purposes of determining whether a Participant has incurred a one-year Break-in-Service, Hours of Service shall be recognized for “authorized leaves of absence” and “maternity and paternity leaves of absence” as described in Section 1.34(e). Years of Service and one-year Breaks-in-Service shall be measured on the same computation period.

(b) Elapsed Time Method means the applicable computation period of 12 consecutive months during which an Employee is not employed by the Employer due to a Severance from Employment. Further, solely for the purposes of determining whether a Participant has incurred a one-year Break-in-Service, Hours of Service shall be recognized for “authorized leaves of absence” and “maternity and paternity leaves of absence.” Years of Service and one-year Breaks-in-Service shall be measured on the same computation period. A Break-in-Service is a period of severance of at least 12 consecutive months. A period of severance is a continuous period of time during which the Employee is not credited with at least one Hour of Service. 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 date of such absence shall not constitute a Break-in-Service. For purposes of this paragraph (b), an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence by reason of the: (1) pregnancy of the individual; (2) birth of a child of the individual; (3) placement of a child with the individual in connection with the adoption of such child by such individual; or (4) care of such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and Service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code section 414(u).

1.10. Catch-up Contributions means contributions made by a Participant, who has attained age 50 before the close of the taxable year, in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code section 414(v).

1.11. Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time.

1.12. Compensation.

(a) In general. Compensation has several different definitions in order to comply with the Code, and such definitions are set forth below. All definitions are subject to the following provisions:

In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the annual Compensation, of each Employee, taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”) annual compensation limit. The EGTRRA annual compensation limit shall be $200,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17)(B). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which Compensation is determined (determination period) beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the EGTRRA annual compensation limit shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of which is 12.

For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, any reference in the Plan to the limitation under Code section 401(a)(17) shall mean the EGTRRA annual compensation limit set forth in this provision.

If Compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining an Employee’s benefits accruing in the current Plan Year, the Compensation for that prior determination period shall be subject to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (“OBRA ’93”) annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination period.

(1) Annual Limitation. For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2002, a Participant’s annual Compensation that may be taken into account for all purposes under this Plan shall not exceed the OBRA ‘93 annual compensation limit. The OBRA ‘93 annual compensation limit shall be $150,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17)(B). Compensation in excess of the OBRA ’93 limit shall be disregarded.

For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1994, a Participant’s annual Compensation that may be taken into account for all purposes under this Plan is subject to the Annual Limitation. Annual Limitation means $200,000, as adjusted annually by the Commissioner. Compensation in excess of the Annual Limitation shall be disregarded.

Contributions allocated or benefits accrued under this Plan for Plan Years prior to January 1, 1989, are not subject to the Annual Limitation, except for Top-Heavy Plan Years. For Top-Heavy Plan Years prior to January 1, 1989, the Annual Limitation is $200,000.

(2) De minimis accrued Compensation. An Employer may include in all definitions of Compensation amounts earned but not paid in a year because of the timing of pay periods and pay days if these amounts are paid during the first few weeks of the next year, the amounts are included on a uniform and consistent basis with respect to all similarly situated employees, and no Compensation is included in more than one limitation period. No formal election is required to include the accrued Compensation permitted under this de minimis rule.

(b) 415(c) Compensation means:

(1) The Employee’s wages, salaries, fees for professional services and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Employer to the extent that the amounts are includible in gross income (or to the extent amounts would have been received and includible in gross income but for an election under Code sections 125(a), 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k) or 457(b)). These amounts include, but are not limited to, commissions paid to salespersons, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits, and reimbursements or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan (as described in section 1.62-2(c) of the Regulations).

(2) In the case of an Employee who is self-employed, i.e., is an employee within the meaning of Code section 401(c)(1) and the Regulations thereunder, the Employee’s Earned Income (as described in Code section 401(c)(2) and the Regulations thereunder), plus amounts deferred at the election of the Employee that would be includible in gross income but for the rules of Code sections 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), or 457(b).

(3) Amounts described in Code sections 104(a)(3), 105(a), or 105(h), but only to the extent that these amounts are includible in the gross income of the Employee.

(4) Amounts paid or reimbursed by the Employer for moving expenses incurred by an Employee, but only to the extent that at the time of the payment it is reasonable to believe that these amounts are not deductible by the Employee under Code section 217.

(5) The value of a nonstatutory option (which is an option other than a statutory option as defined in section 1.421-1(b) of the Regulations) granted to an Employee by the Employer, but only to the extent that the value of the option is includible in the gross income of the Employee for the taxable year in which granted.

(6) The amount includible in the gross income of an Employee upon making the election described in Code section 83(b).

(7) Amounts that are includible in the gross income of an Employee under the rules of Code section 409A or 457(f)(1)(A) or because the amounts are constructively received by the Employee.

(c) 415(c) Compensation does not include the following items and any other items of remuneration similar to the following items:

(1) Contributions (other than elective contributions described in Code sections 402(e)(3), 408(k)(6), 408(p)(2)(A)(i) or 457(b)) made by the Employer to a Plan of deferred compensation (including a simplified employee pension described in Code section 408(k) or a simple retirement account described in Code section 408(p), and whether or not qualified) to the extent that the contributions are not includible in the gross income of the Employee for the taxable year in which contributed. In addition, any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation (whether or not qualified) are not considered as compensation for Code section 415 purposes, regardless of whether such amounts are includible in the gross income of the Employee when distributed. However, any amounts received by an Employee pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan will be considered as compensation for

Code section 415 purposes in the year such amounts are actually received, but only to the extent such amounts are includible in the gross income of the Employee.

(2) Amounts realized from the exercise of a nonstatutory option (which is an option other than a statutory option as defined in section 1.421-1(b) of the Regulations), or when restricted stock (or other property) held by an Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (as described in Code section 83 and the Regulations thereunder).

(3) Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a statutory stock option (as defined in section 1.421-1(b) of the Regulations).

(4) Other amounts which receive special tax benefits, such as premiums for group term life insurance (but only to the extent that the premiums are not includible in the gross income of the Employee and are not salary reduction amounts that are described in Code section 125).

(d) Alternative definitions of 415(c) Compensation. In lieu of defining 415(c) Compensation as above, and if so specified in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan may define 415(c) Compensation using one of the safe harbor definitions set forth below:

(1) Simplified Compensation. 415(c)(3) Compensation is defined as including only those items specified in Plan sections 1.12 (b)(1) or (2) and excludes all those items listed in Plan section 1.12(c).

(2) Section 3401(a) Wages. 415(c)(3) Compensation is defined as including wages within the meaning of Code section 3401(a) (for purposes of income tax withholding at the source), plus amounts that would be included in wages but for an election under Code sections 125(a), 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k) or 457(b), but determined without regard to any rules 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)).

(3) Information Required to be Reported under Code sections 6041, 6051 and 6052. 415(c)(3) Compensation is defined as including amounts that are compensation under the immediately preceding paragraph (2) above, plus 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, except the following amounts shall be excluded unless otherwise stated in the Adoption Agreement: amounts paid or reimbursed by the Employer for moving expenses incurred by an Employee, but only to the extent that, at the time of the payment, it is reasonable to believe that these amounts are deductible by the Employee under Code section 217.

(e) Timing rules.

(1) In General.

(A) Payment during the Limitation Year. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 1.12(e), in order to be taken into account for a Limitation Year, 415(c)(3) Compensation must be actually paid or made available to an Employee (or, if earlier, includible in the Employee’s gross income) within the Limitation Year. For this purpose, Compensation is treated as paid on a date if it is actually paid on that date or it

would have been paid on that date but for an election under Code sections 125, 132(f)(4), 401(k), 403(b), 408(k), 408(p)(2)(A)(i), or 457(b).

(B) Payment prior to Severance from Employment. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 1.12(e), in order to be taken into account for a Limitation Year, 415(c)(3) Compensation must be paid or treated as paid to the Employee (in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph (A) above) prior to the Employee’s Severance from Employment.

(2) Certain minor timing differences. Notwithstanding subsection 1.12(e)(1)(A) above, Compensation for a Limitation Year includes amounts earned during that Limitation Year but not paid during that Limitation Year solely because of the timing of pay periods and pay dates if: (i) these amounts are paid during the first few weeks of the next Limitation Year; (ii) the amounts are included on a uniform and consistent basis with respect to all similarly situated Employees; and (iii) no compensation is included in more than one Limitation Year.

(3) Compensation Paid After Severance from Employment.

(A) Regular Pay After Severance from Employment. For Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, the 415(c)(3) Compensation definition shall include any payment if such payment is regular compensation for services during the Employee’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Employee’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments and if the payment would have been paid to the Employee prior to the Employee’s Severance from Employment if the Employee had continued in employment with the Employer, and provided further, that such compensation is paid after the Employee’s Severance from Employment, provided the compensation is paid by the later of 2 ¹/2 months after an Employee’s Severance from Employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of Severance from Employment.

(B) Leave Cashouts and Deferred Compensation. For Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and if elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the 415(c)(3) Compensation definition shall include an amount that is either (a) payment for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave, but only if the Employee would have been able to use the leave if employment had continued (“leave cashouts”), or (b) received by the Employee pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payment would have been paid to the Employee at the same time if the Employee had continued in employment with the Employer and only to the extent that the payment is includible in the Employee’s gross income (“deferred compensation”) and, provided further, that those amounts are paid by the later of 2 ¹/2 months after the Employee’s Severance from Employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of Severance from Employment and those amounts would have been included in the definition of Compensation if they were paid prior to the Employee’s Severance from Employment.

(C) Other Post-Severance Payments. For Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, any payment that is not described in paragraph (A) or (B) above is not considered compensation if paid after Severance from Employment, even it is paid by the later of 2¹/2 months after an Employee’s Severance from Employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of Severance from Employment. Thus, Compensation does not include severance pay or parachute payments within the meaning of Code section 280G(b)(2), if they are paid after Severance from

Employment and does not include post-severance payments under a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan unless the payments would have been paid at that time without regard to the Severance from Employment.

(4) Salary Continuation Payments for Military Service.

(A) If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, Plan section 1.12(e)(1)(B) shall not apply to payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of qualified military service (as that term is used in Code section 414(u)(1)) to the extent those payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service.

(5) Salary Continuation Payments for Disabled Participants.

(A) If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, Plan section 1.12(e)(1)(B) shall not apply to compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code section 22(e)(3)) if either the Participant is not a highly compensated employee (as defined in Code section 414(q)) immediately before becoming disabled or, if elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the plan provides for the continuation of compensation on behalf of all Participants who are permanently and totally disabled for a fixed or determinable period.

(f) 414(q) Compensation means for Limitation Years beginning before January 1, 1998, 415(c) Compensation without regard to Code sections 125, 402(e)(3), and 402(h)(1)(B) and, in the case of employer contributions made pursuant to a salary deferral agreement, without regard to Code section 403(b). 414(q) Compensation includes elective or salary reduction contributions to a cafeteria plan, a cash or deferred arrangement or a tax-sheltered annuity, including Salary Deferral Contributions to this Plan. For Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 1997, 414(q) Compensation means 415(c) Compensation.

(g) 414(s) Compensation for purposes of nondiscrimination testing hereunder, means compensation as defined in Code section 414(s) and the Regulations thereunder, as elected by the Employer from time to time from the various options available under such Regulations, and pursuant to any rules and requirements as may be set forth in such Regulations. To the extent permissible under such Regulations, the Employer may use different definitions of 414(s) Compensation (i) for different nondiscrimination tests in the same Plan Year, and (ii) for the same nondiscrimination test from year to year. At the discretion of the Employer, 414(s) Compensation may be limited to that compensation earned while an Employee is a Participant, as permitted by law.

1.13. Disability means the inability, supported by medical evidence, to engage in substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

Unless specified otherwise in the Adoption Agreement, for a Participant to establish Disability, such Participant must furnish to the Plan Administrator evidence that the federal Social Security Administration has determined that the Participant is eligible to receive total disability benefits under the federal Social Security Act.

1.14. Discretionary Contributions means contributions which the Employer makes to the Plan for the benefit of Participants, which is not a Salary Deferral Contribution, a Xxxx 401(k) Contribution or a Matching Contribution. All Discretionary Contributions for a Plan Year shall be contributed to the Trustee by the date prescribed by law (including extension thereof) for filing the Employer’s federal income tax return for its taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year.

1.15. Early Retirement Age shall be age 55, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, and means the earliest date on which a Participant who has a Severance from Employment with the Employer can elect to receive Normal Retirement Benefits (as outlined in Section 7.02).

1.16. Earned Income means the net earnings from self-employment in the trade or business with respect to which the Plan is established, for which personal services of the individual are a material income-producing factor. Net earnings shall be determined without regard to items not included in gross income and the deductions allocable to such items. Net earnings are reduced by contributions by the Employer to a qualified plan to the extent deductible under Code section 404. 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.

1.17. Effective Date means the date as of which the Plan is first made effective with respect to an Employer (not earlier than the first day of the first Plan Year), and which is set forth in the Adoption Agreement. For Employers who adopt this Plan as an amendment and restatement of a prior plan, such amendment and restatement shall be effective as provided for in the Adoption Agreement.

1.18. Elective Deferrals, see Section 3.01(a).

1.19. Eligible Employee means an Employee who at any time has met the requirements of the Plan for participation in the Plan.

1.20.

The term Employee shall include any Leased Employee deemed to be an Employee of the Employer or affiliated Employer as provided in Code section 414(n) or (o) except to the extent such Leased Employees may be excluded under the provisions of Section 1.37, in any event, however, such Leased Employees shall only be included for the purposes of Code section 410(b).

1.21. Employer means any corporation, professional corporation, professional association, partnership, S corporation, sole proprietorship or unincorporated business which shall adopt this Plan and any successor organization which may succeed to its business and which may elect to continue the Plan. In the case of a group of employers which are Affiliates, all such employers shall be considered a single Employer for purposes of establishing the Maximum Permissible Amount. “Employer” shall include Participating Employers (as defined in Section 13.01) unless the context requires otherwise.

1.23. Entry Date means the date or dates specified in the Adoption Agreement; or, in the case of a business which becomes an Employer because of an acquisition by the Plan Sponsor, the Plan Administrator, in his

sole discretion, may set an additional Entry Date so that the eligible Employees of said business may become Participants in the Plan in accordance with Section 2.05.

1.24. ERISA means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as it may be amended from time to time.

1.25.

1.26. Five Percent Owner means any person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code section 318) more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of the Employer or stock possessing more than five percent (5%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Employer, or in the case of an unincorporated business, any person who owns more than five percent (5%) of the capital or profits interest in the Employer. In determining the percentage of ownership hereunder, employers that would otherwise be aggregated under Code section 414(b), (c), or (m) shall be treated as separate employers.

1.27. Forfeiture means that portion of a Participant’s Employer Account, Predecessor Employer Account, or Plan-to-Plan Transfer Account that is not vested, and occurs on the earlier of:

(a) the distribution of a Former Participant’s Vested Balance; or

(b) the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive one-year Breaks-in-Service.

Furthermore, for purposes of paragraph (a) above, in the case of a Participant who has a Severance from Employment and whose Vested Balance is zero, said Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his Vested Balance upon his Severance from Employment. Restoration of such amounts shall occur pursuant to Section 7.03(b)(4). In addition, the term Forfeiture shall also include amounts deemed to be Forfeitures pursuant to any other provision of this Plan.

(a) Employees who at any time during the determination year or the look-back year were Five Percent Owners.

(b) Employees who received 414(q) Compensation during the look-back year in excess of $80,000 (as adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as under Code section 415(d), except that the base period is the calendar quarter ending September 30, 1996).

(c) If so specified in the Adoption Agreement, at the Employer’s election, Employees considered in paragraph (b) above may be limited to Employees in the Top-Paid Group during the look-back year.

(d) For purposes of this Section 1.31 the “determination year” shall be the Plan Year for which testing is being performed, and the “look-back year” shall be the immediately preceding twelve-month period. The Employer may make a calendar year data election, under which election the look-back year shall be the calendar year beginning with or within the look-back year. Pursuant to Notice 97-45, the calendar year data election may not be used to determine whether an Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee under paragraph (a) above.

(e) A Top-Paid Group election under paragraph (c) above and a calendar year data election under paragraph (d) must be applied consistently to the determination year of all plans of the Employer, except that the consistency requirement will not apply to determination years beginning with or within the 1997 calendar year, and for determination years beginning on or after January 1, 1998, and before January 1, 2000, satisfaction of the consistency requirement is determined without regard to any nonretirement plans of the Employer.

(f) The dollar threshold amounts specified in paragraph (b) above shall be adjusted at such time and in such manner as is provided in Code section 415(d) and the applicable Regulations.

(g) In determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee, Employees who are non-resident aliens and who received no earned income (within the meaning of Code section 911(d)(2)) from the Employer constituting United States source income within the meaning of Code section 861(a)(3) shall not be treated as Employees. Additionally, all Affiliated Employers shall be taken into account as a single Employer and Leased Employees within the meaning of Code sections 414(n)(2) and 414(o)(2) shall be considered Employees unless such Leased Employees are covered by a plan described in Code section 414(n)(5) and are not covered in any qualified plan maintained by the Employer. The exclusion of Leased Employees for this purpose shall be applied on a uniform and consistent basis for all of the Employer’s retirement plans. Highly Compensated Former Employees shall be treated as Highly Compensated Employees without regard to whether they performed services during the “determination year.”

1.32. Highly Compensated Former Employee means a former Employee who has a Severance from Employment (or was deemed to have separated) prior to the “determination year,” performed no Service for the Employer during the determination year, and was a Highly Compensated Employee in the year of Severance from Employment or in any “determination year” after attaining age 55. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employee who has a Severance from Employment prior to 1987 will be treated as a Highly Compensated Former Employee only if during the separation year (or year preceding the separation year) or any year after the Employee attains age 55 (or the last year ending before the Employee’s 55th birthday), the Employee either received 414(q) Compensation in excess of $50,000 or was a Five Percent Owner. For purposes of this Section, “determination year” shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.31. Highly Compensated Former Employees shall be treated as Highly Compensated Employees.

1.34. Hour of Service means:

(a) In general. Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for the Employer. These hours shall be credited to the Employee for the Plan Year in which the duties are performed.

(b) If no duties are performed. Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, by the Employer on account of a period of time 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 Authorized Absence. No more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited under this subsection (b) for a single continuous period, which may extend over more than one computation period or Plan Year. An Employee is not credited with any hours under this paragraph (b) for any payment made under a plan maintained solely for complying with applicable law for worker’s unemployment compensation, or disability insurance; or for the purpose of reimbursing the Employee for medical or medically related expenses. Hours under this subsection (b) shall be calculated and credited pursuant to section 2530.200b-2 of the Regulations which are incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Back pay. Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer. The same hours shall not be credited both under subsection (a) or (b), as the case may be, and under this subsection (c). These hours shall be credited to the Employee for the Plan Year to which the award or agreement pertains, rather than the Plan Year in which the award, agreement or payment is made.

(d) Employment with Affiliates. Hours of Service shall be credited for employment with Affiliates of the Employer, and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to Code section 414(o), and for any individual considered an Employee under Code section 414(n) and (o).

(e) Special rules for determining a Break-in-Service. For Plan Years beginning after 1984, solely for purposes of determining whether a Break-in-Service has occurred in a computation period, an Employee who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons shall receive credit for the Hours of Service which would otherwise have been credited to such Employee but for such absence, or in any case in which such hours cannot be determined, eight (8) Hours of Service per day of such absence. For purposes of this paragraph, an absence for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (1) by reason of the pregnancy of the Employee (2) by reason of a birth of a child of the Employee, (3) by reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by such Employee, or (4) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. The Hours of Service credited under this paragraph shall be credited (1) in the computation period in which the absence begins if such credit is necessary to prevent a Break-in-Service in that period, or (2) in all other cases, in the following computation period.

(B) In the case of an Employee whose compensation is determined on a basis other than an hourly rate, and who is paid a fixed rate for a specified period of time, an hourly rate shall be computed by dividing his lowest rate of compensation during the computation period for such period of time by the number of hours regularly scheduled for the performance of duties during such period of time, or in the case of an Employee without a regular work schedule, it shall be calculated on a reasonable basis which reflects the average hours worked by the Employee over a representative period of time; and the Employee shall be credited with the number of hours equal to his Compensation during the computation period divided by his lowest hourly rate so determined; and 750 hours credited under this method shall be treated as equivalent to 1,000 Hours of Service, and 375 hours credited under this method shall be treated as equivalent to 500 Hours of Service.

Years of Service with any corporation, trade or business which is a member of a controlled group of corporations or under common control (as defined by Code sections 414(b) and 414(c)) or is a member of an affiliated service group (as defined by Code section 414(m)) shall be recognized, or any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to Code section 414(o). Service shall also be credited for an Employee to the extent required under Code sections 414(n) or (o), where such Employee is considered an Employee of an Affiliate, and as may be provided in the Adoption Agreement.

2.04. Commencement and Termination of Participation.

(a) Application for Participation. In order to become a Participant hereunder, each Eligible Employee shall make application to the Employer for participation in the Plan and agree to the terms hereof. Upon the acceptance of any benefits under this Plan, such Employee shall automatically be deemed to have made application and shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and all amendments hereto.

(b) Effective Date of Participation. Each Employee shall become a Participant as of the next Entry Date subsequent to the Employee fulfilling the eligibility requirements specified in the Adoption Agreement of this Plan.

(c) Determination of Eligibility. The Plan Administrator shall determine the eligibility of each Employee for participation in the Plan based upon information furnished by the Employer. Such

determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons, as long as the same is made pursuant to the Plan and the ERISA. Such determination shall be subject to review in accordance with Section 7.15.

(d) Forms for Participation. The Plan Administrator shall notify each Employee who becomes a Participant and provide him access to the forms which are necessary for the payment of benefits and designation of a Beneficiary. Before any contributions shall be made to the Plan on behalf of a Participant, the Participant must execute a Salary Deferral Agreement (or similar form) to evidence an Elective Deferral election. If the Adoption Agreement allows Rollover Contributions, Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions and/or Plan-to-Plan Transfers, and if the Adoption Agreement allows an Employee who is not a Participant to make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan or a Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contribution to the Plan, or a Plan-to-Plan Transfer is proposed to be made to the Plan on his behalf, such Employee must execute such forms as the Plan Administrator shall require prior to any such Rollover Contribution, Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contribution or Plan-to-Plan Transfer being accepted by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan.

(e) Reemployment. A Participant or former Participant who has a Severance from Employment with the Employer, and who subsequently is reemployed by the Employer, shall become a Participant and be eligible to participate in the Plan as follows:

(1) In the event such Employee returns to Service prior to incurring a one-year Break-in-Service, such Employee shall participate immediately upon reemployment.

(2) In the event such Employee returns to Service after incurring a one-year Break-in-Service, such Employee shall be eligible to participate upon the earlier of the next Entry Date or the date a new Salary Deferral Agreement may be executed.

(f) Termination of Eligibility.

(1) In the event a Participant shall go from a classification of an Eligible Employee to an ineligible Employee, such Participant shall continue to vest in his interest in the Plan for each Year of Service completed while a noneligible Employee, until such time as his Participant’s Account shall be forfeited or distributed pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Additionally, his interest in the Plan shall continue to share in the earnings of the Trust Fund.

(2) In the event a Participant is no longer a member of an eligible class of Employees and becomes ineligible to participate but has not incurred a one-year-Break-in-Service, such Employee will participate immediately upon returning to an eligible class of Employees.

(3) In the event an Employee who is not a member of an eligible class of Employees becomes ineligible to participate and has incurred a one-year Break-in-Service, such Employee shall be eligible to participate upon the next date a Salary Deferral Agreement may be executed upon returning to an eligible class of Employees.

(g) Inclusion of an Ineligible Employee. If, in any Plan Year, any person who should not have been included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously included and discovery of such incorrect inclusion is not made until after a contribution for the year has been made, the Employer shall not be entitled to recover the contribution made with respect to the ineligible person regardless of whether or not a deduction is allowable with respect to such contribution. In such event, the amount contributed with respect to the ineligible person shall constitute a Forfeiture (except for Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions which shall constitute an excess elective deferral amount described in Code sections 401(a)(30) and 402(g)(1) and (2), and which shall be distributed

to the ineligible person, adjusted for any gain or loss) for the Plan Year in which the discovery is made.

(h) Omission of an Eligible Employee. If, in any Plan Year, any person who should be included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously omitted and such omission is not discovered until after a contribution is made by the Employer for the Plan Year, the Employer shall make a subsequent contribution if necessary after the application of Article III. Such contribution shall be made regardless of whether or not it is deductible in whole or in part in any taxable year under the applicable provisions of the Code. Such contribution shall not be adjusted for any unrealized gain or loss. Such contribution may be made from Forfeitures if the Adoption Agreement permits the use of Forfeitures to either reinstate previously forfeited amounts or to reduce the Employer’s contributions under the Plan. However, this paragraph shall not apply to Salary Deferral Contributions or Xxxx 401(k) Contributions.

2.05. Acquisitions.

(a) In general. If an employer becomes a member of a company or group described in subsection (b), (c), (m), or (o) of Code section 414 by reason of acquisition of or by the Employer, and if the Employer so approves, such acquired employer shall adopt the Plan as a Participating Employer within the time period described in subparagraph (b) below, unless such employer can be excluded from adopting the Plan for a reason permitted under Code section 410(b), and provided further that said employer elects not to adopt the Plan as a Participating Employer.

(c) Eligibility Requirements. On the first Entry Date set by the Employer for any acquired company or group referred to in paragraph (a) above, the eligibility requirements that were applicable for the initial enrollment shall be applicable for all persons who are members of such company or group, and for all succeeding Entry Dates, the eligibility requirements applicable after the initial enrollment shall be applicable for all persons who are members of such company or group.

(e) are employed within any specified job classifications identified in the Adoption Agreement.

ARTICLE III. CONTRIBUTIONS.

3.01. Elective Deferrals

(a) In general. Elective Deferrals shall mean any employer contributions made to the Plan at the election of the Participant, in lieu of cash Compensation, and which was not currently available to the Participant at the time of the election to defer, and shall include Salary Deferral Contributions and/or Xxxx 401(k) Contributions, made pursuant to a Salary Deferral Agreement or other deferral mechanism. Catch-up Contributions are subject to the contribution limits of Code section 414(v). See paragraph (d) below for provisions under which Catch-up Contributions are excluded from the term “Elective Deferrals” under this Plan. Each Participant may complete a Salary Deferral Agreement to elect to defer receipt of his Compensation up to a limit specified in the Adoption Agreement and the other provisions of this Plan, and to have that amount withheld from amounts due to him from the Employer, paid to the Plan and credited to (1) the Participant’s Salary Deferral Account, and/or (2) the Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Account in such proportion as the Participant may choose. The ability of a Participant to defer receipt of his Compensation under the Plan shall not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees.

(b) Salary Deferral Contributions. Elective Deferrals that have the meaning provided in Section 1.69. If Xxxx 401(k) Contributions are permitted, then Salary Deferral Contributions must be permitted.

(c) Xxxx 401(k) Contributions. In order for the Plan to offer Xxxx 401(k) Contributions as an Elective Deferral, the Plan must also offer Salary Deferral Contributions as an Elective Deferral and the Employer must provide for Xxxx 401(k) Contributions in the Adoption Agreement. However, a Participant may make a Xxxx 401(k) Contribution without also making a Salary Deferral Contribution.

(d) Catch-up Contributions. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, any Participant who is eligible to make Elective Deferrals to the Plan and who will attain age 50 before the close of the then applicable taxable year shall be eligible to make Catch-up Contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code section 414(v). The Participant may make such Catch-up Contributions as Salary Deferral Contributions or, if provided for in the Adoption Agreement, as Xxxx 401(k) Contributions. Such Catch-up Contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of the Plan provisions that implement the required limitations of Code sections 401(a)(30), 402(g), 402A, and 415(c). Catch-up Contributions are excluded from the term “Elective Deferrals” for the purposes of the Plan satisfying the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4), 401(a)(30), 401(k)(3), 401(k)(12), 410(b), 415(c) or 416, by reason of the making of such contributions.

(e) Automatic Contribution Arrangement. If provided for in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer shall automatically withhold Elective Deferral Contributions from Compensation in the percentages and for each Participants identified in the Adoption Agreement who (1) have not made an election to defer a portion of Compensation, and (2) has not affirmatively opted out of the Plan. Participants subject to this automatic contribution arrangement process will be given prior written notice and a reasonable opportunity to take affirmative action to either elect to defer a portion of Compensation or elect not to make Elective Deferrals under the Plan. For any Participant to whom this paragraph applies, and whether or not the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to allow Participants to make Xxxx 401(k) Contributions, such deferral of Compensation shall be made

as Salary Deferral Contributions; provided, however, that the Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement that such deferral of Compensation will be made as Xxxx 401(k) Contributions or a combination of Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions. In the event that such deferral of Compensation is designated as Xxxx 401(k) Contributions, then the Participant is deemed to have irrevocably designated the contributions as Xxxx 401(k) Contributions, in accordance with Code section 402A(c)(1)(B).

(f) Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Automatic Contribution Arrangement will be an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement that meets all the requirements of Code section 414(w)(3).

(g) Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Automatic Contribution Arrangement will be a Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement that meets all the requirements of Code section 401(k)(13). The automatic contribution amounts elected in the Adoption Agreement for each Participant must meet the following percentages, during the following time periods: (i) 3% of such Participant’s Compensation, which period shall begin on the date that the first automatic Elective Deferral Contribution is made on the Participant’s behalf (the “initial automatic enrollment date”) and ending on the last day of the first Plan Year that begins after the initial automatic enrollment date; (ii) 4% during the first Plan Year following the period described in (i); (iii) 5% during the second Plan Year following the period described in (i); and (iv) 6% during any subsequent Plan Year, never to exceed 10% of compensation.

3.02.

Salary Deferral Agreement.

(a) In general. Each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to enter into a written Salary Deferral Agreement with the Employer which shall be applicable to a specified number of payroll periods within the Plan Year following the date of such Salary Deferral Agreement. The terms of any such Salary Deferral Agreement shall provide that the Participant agrees to accept a reduction in salary from the Employer equal to a stated percentage of his Compensation per payroll period, or a fixed dollar amount, or some combination thereof, not to exceed either: (1) the amount specified in the Adoption Agreement for a Salary Deferral Agreement for the Plan Year, or (2) the dollar limit contained in Code section 402(g) in effect at the beginning of the calendar year. A Participant’s Elective Deferrals for a calendar year under the Plan, plus the Participant’s elective contributions under all other plans, contracts and arrangements of the Employer, shall not exceed the limit imposed by Code section 402(g) for such calendar year, except to the extent permitted under Section 3.01(d) and Code section 414(v), if applicable. In consideration of such Salary Deferral Agreement, the Employer shall make a Salary Deferral Contribution to the Participant’s Salary Deferral Account (and, if applicable, the Participant’s Salary Deferral Catch-up Contribution Account) and a Xxxx 401(k) Contribution to the Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Account (and, if applicable, the Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account) on behalf of the Participant for such Plan Year in an amount equal to the total amount by which the Participant’s Compensation from the Employer was reduced during the Plan Year pursuant to the Participant’s Salary Deferral Agreement.

(b) Governing rules. Salary Deferral Agreement shall be governed by the following:

(1) A Salary Deferral Agreement shall apply to each payroll period during which an effective Salary Deferral Agreement is on file with the Employer and shall apply to the Plan Year.

(2) Unless otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement, a Salary Deferral Agreement shall be subject to change twice each Plan Year. First, for the six-month period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year and second, for the six-month period beginning on the first day of the

Plan Year’s semi-annual anniversary. However, a Salary Deferral Agreement may be canceled prospectively at any time.

(3) Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, if a Participant becomes ineligible for the Plan because of a change in job classification, the Salary Deferral Agreement shall be revoked effective the date of such change.

(4) An Employee who has become a Participant as a result of the application of Section 2.04(f) to his circumstances, shall be eligible to establish a Salary Deferral Agreement on or about the first Entry Date following his change of status.

(5) If provided for in the Adoption Agreement, a separate Salary Deferral Agreement shall apply to such portion of a Participant’s Compensation as shall be paid as bonus amounts, as designated or identified in the Adoption Agreement. In the event that the Adoption Agreement provides for a separate Salary Deferral Agreement be applicable for any such bonus amounts, such separate Salary Deferral Agreement may be provided for in a separate form or in the same form as the Salary Deferral Agreement which is applicable for Compensation not paid as a bonus amount.

(6) If provided for in the Adoption Agreement, a Catch-up Contribution eligible Participant may enter into a Salary Deferral Agreement to defer a portion of his Compensation as a Catch-up Contribution. The Salary Deferral Agreement may be a separate form or the same form used for all other applicable Compensation.

(c) Time of Payment of Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions. Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions accumulated through payroll deductions shall be paid to the Trustee as of the earliest date on which such contributions can reasonably be segregated from the Employer’s general assets, but in any event within fifteen (15) business days of the month after the month in which the contributions are received by the Employer. This provision does not apply to transfers from nonqualified plans. The provisions of Regulation section 2510.3-102 are incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, any additional Employer contributions which are allocable to the Participant’s Salary Deferral Account or Xxxx 401(k) Account for a Plan Year shall be paid to the Plan no later than the 12-month period immediately following the close of such Plan Year.

(d) Limitations.

(1) Employer’s right to amend the Salary Deferral Agreement. The Employer may limit, revoke, or amend its agreement to make Elective Deferrals on behalf of any Participant at any time, but only if it determines that such limitation, revocation or amendment is necessary under one of the following circumstances:

(A) to insure that any nondiscrimination test under Article III is met for such Plan Year; or

(B) to insure that a Participant’s Annual Addition for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount; or

(2) Determining taxable income. If a Participant is prevented from making a portion of his tax-deferred savings contributions due to a permissible limitation, revocation or amendment by the Employer, such portion shall be considered taxable income to the Participant in the tax year for which the contribution was made and after appropriate taxes have been withheld shall be returned to the Participant.

3.03.

Actual Deferral Percentage Test.

(a) In general. For each Plan Year, the total Elective Deferrals contributed to a Participant’s Salary Deferral Account and Xxxx 401(k) Account shall satisfy one of the following tests pursuant to Code section 401(k)(3) and section 1.401(k)-1(b)(2) of the Regulations, which are herein incorporated by reference:

(1) The Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Participant Group shall not be more than the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group multiplied by 1.25; or

(2) The excess of the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Participant Group over the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group shall not be more than two percentage points. Additionally, the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Participant Group shall not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group multiplied by 2.

(b) Definition of Actual Deferral Percentage. For the purposes of this Section 3.03, Actual Deferral Percentage means, with respect to the Highly Compensated Participant Group and Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for a Plan Year, the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each Participant in such group (each Participant’s “Actual Deferral Ratio”) and expressed as a percentage, of the amount of Elective Deferrals allocated to each Participant’s Salary Deferral Account and Xxxx 401(k) Account (unreduced by any relevant distributions) for such Plan Year, to such Participant’s 414(s) Compensation for such Plan Year, and shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%) of a Participant’s 414(s) Compensation. The Actual Deferral Percentage shall not include Catch-Up Contributions, contributions made with respect to Qualified Military Service as described in Section 3.14, and Matching Contributions.

(c) Prior Year Testing or Current Year Testing Data. Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996, the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group shall be the preceding Plan Year data (“Prior Year Testing”), unless the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to use the current Plan Year (“Current Year Testing”). If the Current Year Testing election is made, it may not be changed unless the Employer satisfies the requirements for changing to Prior Year Testing as set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 98-1 (or superseding guidance). For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, if the Current Year Testing election is made, it may change to Prior Year Testing only in situations described in Regulation section 1.401(k)-2(c)(1)(ii).

In the case of a Plan’s first Plan Year (other than a successor plan), the amount taken into account as the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for the Prior Year Testing shall be 3%, unless the Employer elects to use Current Year Testing and, therefore, uses the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group during the first Plan Year.

(d) Actual Deferral Percentage Test Safe Harbor Contributions. If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to satisfy the safe harbor provisions under Code section 401(k)(12) and section

1.401(k)-3 of the Regulations, which are herein incorporated by reference, then an Employer shall be treated as satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under Code section 401(k)(3)(A)(ii) if:

(1) Safe Harbor Matching Contribution.

(A) Basic Formula. The Employer makes Matching Contributions on behalf of each Nonhighly Compensated Participant and, at the Employer’s discretion, to the Highly Compensated Employees in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) 100% of the Elective Deferrals of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant not to exceed 3% of the Participant’s Compensation, and (ii) 50% of the Elective Deferrals of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant to the extent that such Elective Deferrals exceed 3% of the Participant’s Compensation but do not exceed 5% of the Participant’s Compensation.

(B) Rate for Highly Compensated Employee. Notwithstanding subparagraph (1)(A) above, an Employer shall not satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under this nondiscrimination safe harbor if the rate of Matching Contributions made with respect to any Elective Deferrals of a Highly Compensated Employee is greater than that with respect to a Nonhighly Compensated Participant.

(C) Enhanced Matching Formula. The Plan shall not fail to satisfy the nondiscrimination safe harbor under Section 3.03(d)(1) if (i) the rate of the Employer’s Matching Contribution does not increase as a Participant’s rate of Elective Deferrals increase, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Matching Contributions at such rate of Elective Deferrals is at least equal to the aggregate amount of Matching Contributions which would be made if Matching Contributions were made on the basis of the percentages in Section 3.03(d)(1) above.

(2) Safe Harbor Nonelective Contributions. As an alternative to the nondiscrimination safe harbor in Section 3.03(d)(1) above, the Employer may satisfy the nondiscrimination safe harbor if the Employer is required, without regard to whether the Participant makes an Elective Deferral, to make a contribution to a defined contribution plan, on behalf of each Nonhighly Compensated Participant and, at the Employer’s discretion, to the Highly Compensated Employees, in an amount equal to at least 3% of the Participant’s Compensation.

(3) Each Employee eligible to participate in the Plan is, within a reasonable period before any year, given written notice of the Employee’s rights and obligations under the nondiscrimination safe harbor which (A) is sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to apprise the Employee of such rights and obligations, (B) is written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average Employee eligible to participate; and (C) each Eligible Employee has at least 30 days following receipt of the notice to make or modify their Salary Deferral Agreement.

(4) The Employer contributions made under Section 3.03(d)(1) or 3.03(d)(2) are not distributable to Participants or their Beneficiaries until Severance from Employment, death or Disability or termination of the Plan, and the Participant’s right to his accrued benefit derived from Employer contributions is nonforfeitable at all times.

(e) Two or more cash or deferred plans. If two (2) or more plans which include cash or deferred arrangements are considered one plan for the purposes of Code section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than the average benefits test under Code section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii), as in effect for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988), the cash or deferred arrangement included in such plans may be treated as one arrangement for purposes of determining whether or not such arrangements satisfy

Code sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k). In such a case, the cash or deferred arrangements shall be treated as one arrangement and as one plan for purposes of this Section and Code sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k). In the event that two or more plans of the Employer which include cash or deferred arrangements are permissively aggregated for purposes of Code section 401(k), such aggregated plans must satisfy this Section, and Code sections 401(k), 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as though such plans were a single plan. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1989, plans shall be aggregated under this paragraph (e) only if they have the same plan year and use the same Actual Deferral Percentage Testing method. If a Highly Compensated Participant is eligible to have Elective Deferrals in two or more cash or deferred arrangements of the Employer or an Affiliate that have different plan years, all Elective Deferrals made during the Plan Year under all such cash or deferred arrangements shall be treated as one cash or deferred arrangement for the purpose of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage with respect to such Highly Compensated Participant. For plan years beginning before 2006, all such cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement. Notwithstanding the above, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, an employee stock ownership plan described in Code section 4975(e)(7) may not be combined with this Plan for purposes of determining whether the employee stock ownership plan or this Plan satisfy this Section and Code sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) and 401(k). For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, an employee stock ownership plan and a non-employee stock ownership plan which are different plans are permitted to be aggregated.

(f) Nondiscrimination Safe Harbor for Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement. If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to satisfy the provisions under Code section 401(k)(13), and section 1.401(k)-3 of the Regulations which are herein incorporated by reference, then an Employer shall be treated as satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under Code section 401(k)(3)(A)(ii) if the Employer makes a contribution meeting the following requirements:

(1) Safe Harbor Matching Contribution.

(A) Basic Formula. An Employer Matching Contribution on behalf of each Nonhighly Compensated Participant and, unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, to the Highly Compensated Participants in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) 100% of the Elective Deferrals of the Participant not to exceed 1% of the Participant’s Compensation, plus (ii) 50% of the Elective Deferrals of the Participant to the extent that such Elective Deferrals exceed 1% of the Participant’s Compensation but do not exceed 6% of the Participant’s Compensation.

(B) Rate for Highly Compensated Employee. Notwithstanding subsection (1)(A) above, a Plan shall not satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under this nondiscrimination safe harbor if the rate of Matching Contributions made with respect to any Elective Deferrals of a Highly Compensated Participant is greater than that with respect to a Nonhighly Compensated Participant.

(C) Enhanced Matching Formula. The Plan shall not fail to satisfy the nondiscrimination safe harbor under this subsection (f)(1) if (i) the rate of the Employer’s Matching Contribution does not increase as a Participant’s rate of Elective Deferrals increase, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Matching Contributions at such rate of Elective Deferrals is at least equal to the aggregate amount of Matching Contributions which would be made if Matching Contributions were made on the basis of the percentages in subsection 3.03(f)(1)(A) above.

(2) Safe Harbor Nonelective Contributions. As an alternative to the nondiscrimination safe harbor in Section 3.03(f)(1) above, the Employer may satisfy the nondiscrimination safe harbor

if the Employer is required, without regard to whether the Participant makes an Elective Deferral, to make a contribution to a defined contribution plan, on behalf of each Nonhighly Compensated Participant and, unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, to the Highly Compensated Participants, in an amount equal to at least 3% of the Participant’s Compensation.

(3) The Employer contributions made under Section 3.03(f)(1) or 3.03(f)(2) are distributable to Participants or their Beneficiaries in accordance with Code section 401(k)(2)(B), and the Participant’s right to his accrued benefit derived from Employer contributions is nonforfeitable after two Years of Service.

3.04.

Correction of Excess Contributions

(a) Determining Excess Contributions. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996, Excess Contributions for Highly Compensated Participants for a Plan Year must be returned on the basis of each Highly Compensated Employee’s contributions to the extent required to enable the Plan to satisfy one of the two Actual Deferral Percentage Tests.

Notwithstanding the preceding, however, for any Plan Year, the Employer may provide for satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage Tests (as set forth in Section 3.03) in whole or in part by making Qualified Nonelective Contributions for such Plan Year, pursuant to Section 3.09. The Employer may satisfy such tests by making such Qualified Nonelective Contributions, by applying the method provided for in the preceding paragraph or by a combination of such contributions and such method.

(b) Applying Excess Contributions to Highly Compensated Participants. For each Highly Compensated Participant, the amount of Excess Contributions is equal to the total of Elective Deferrals made on behalf of the Participant (determined prior to the application of paragraph (a)) minus the amount determined by multiplying the Participant’s Actual Deferral Ratio (determined after the application of paragraph (a)) by his Compensation used in determining such ratio.

The amount of Excess Contributions for a Highly Compensated Participant for a Plan Year is to be determined by the following leveling method, under which the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Participant with the highest Elective Deferrals is reduced to the extent required to enable the Plan to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test: For each Highly Compensated Participant, the amount of Excess Contributions is the excess of the amount of the Elective Deferrals (determined prior to the application of this paragraph) actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under the Actual Deferral Percentage Test (determined by reducing the contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Actual Deferral Percentage amounts beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount and continuing in descending order until all the Excess Contributions have been allocated.) To the extent a Highly Compensated Participant is eligible to make Catch-up Contributions and he has not reached his Catch-up Contribution limit under the Plan, Excess Contributions allocated to such Highly Compensated Participant shall be treated as Catch-up Contributions and will not be (i) treated as Excess Contributions or (ii) recharacterized as Nondeductible Employee Contributions pursuant to Section 3.07(b), except to the extent there is excess available to recharacterize as such and it is permitted by the terms of the Plan.

With respect to the distribution of Excess Contributions pursuant to this Section, such distribution shall be made as follows: first, from unmatched Elective Deferrals and second, from matched Elective Deferrals. If any such matched Elective Deferrals are distributed, the corresponding Matching Contributions shall be forfeited and treated as a Forfeiture under the Plan. Any

distributions under this paragraph shall be designated by the Employer as a distribution of Excess Contributions (and income). Any distribution of less than the entire amount of Excess Contributions shall be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Contributions and income.

The distribution of Excess Contributions to a Highly Compensated Participant that has Elective Deferrals of both Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions shall be pro rata, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator.

(c) Date when Excess Contributions are to be distributed. In order to satisfy the requirements of Code section 401(k)(3) for the Plan Year for which such Excess Contributions were made and for all subsequent years such Excess Contributions remain in the Plan, Excess Contributions (and income allocable thereto) shall be designated as such by the Plan Administrator and distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Participant(s) after the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions arose and within 12 months after the close of such Plan Year, except to the extent such Excess Contributions are classified as Catch-up Contributions. Furthermore, unless such Excess Contributions are corrected within 2¹/2 months after the close of the Plan Year for which they were made (or 6 months after the close of the Plan Year for which they were made if an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement is elected in the Adoption Agreement), the Employer shall be liable for a ten percent (10%) excise tax on such Excess Contributions.

. In the event of the complete termination of the Plan during the Plan Year in which an Excess Contribution arose, such distributions shall be made after the date of termination of the Plan and as soon as administratively feasible, but in no event later than the close of the 12-month period immediately following such termination.

(d) Income allocable to Excess Contributions. Income shall be allocated to Excess Contributions by multiplying the net income allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year attributable to Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the Excess Contributions for the Employee for the Plan Year. The denominator of the fraction is equal to the sum of:

(1) The total Account Balance of the Employee attributable to Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) as of the beginning of the Plan Year; plus

(2) The Employee’s Elective Deferrals (and amounts treated as Elective Deferrals) for the Plan Year.

(3) Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, gap period income (the income on such Excess Contributions for the period after the close of the Plan Year to which such Excess Contributions relate and prior to the date of distribution) shall be required to be calculated. The gap period income is the amount determined by any reasonable method of allocating income or loss to the Participant’s Excess Contributions for the Plan Year and the gap period, provided the method used is the same method used by the Plan for allocating income or losses to Participants’ Accounts. This Plan will not fail to use a reasonable method for computing the income allocable to Excess Contributions merely because the income allocable to such Excess Contributions is determined on a date that is no more than 7 days before the distribution. For Plan Years which began on or after January 1, 1994 and prior to January 1, 2006, or for Plan Years which begin on or after January 1, 2008, gap period income (the income attributable to such Excess Contributions for the period between the end of the Plan Year to which such Excess Contributions relate and the date of distributions) is not required to be calculated.

(e) Spousal consent not required. A corrective distribution of Excess Contributions (and income

allocable thereto) may be made without regard to any notice or consent of the Employee or the Employee’s Spouse otherwise required under the Plan, if applicable, or as may otherwise be required by the Adoption Agreement.

(f) Coordination with Excess Deferrals. The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed to a Participant shall be reduced by the Excess Deferrals previously distributed to the Participant for his taxable year ending in the Plan Year for which the Excess Contributions are made

3.05.

Individual Limitation on Elective Deferrals.

(a) Elective Deferrals. A Participant’s Elective Deferrals for any taxable year are the sum of the following:

(1) any elective contribution under a qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in Code section 401(k)) to the extent not includible in the individual’s gross income for the taxable year on account of Code section 402(a)(8) (before applying the limits of Code section 402(g) or this section);

(2) any employer contribution to a simplified employee pension (as defined in Code section 408(k)) to the extent not includible in the individual’s gross income for the taxable year on account of Code section 402(h)(1)(B) (before applying the limits of Code section 402(g) or this section);

(3) any employer contribution to an annuity contract under Code section 403(b) under a salary reduction agreement (within the meaning of Code section 3121(a)(5)(D)) to the extent not includible in the individual’s gross income for the taxable year on account of Code section 403(b) (before applying the limits of Code section 402(g) or this section;

(4) any employee contribution designated as deductible under a trust described in Code section 501(c)(18) to the extent deductible from the individual’s income for the taxable year on account of Code section 501(c)(18) (before applying the limits of Code section 402(g) or this section);

(5) any designated Xxxx contributions described in Code section 402A (before applying the limits of Code section 402(g) or this section); and

(6) any elective employer contributions to a SIMPLE retirement account, on behalf of an employee pursuant to a qualified salary reduction arrangement as described in Code section 408(p)(2)(before applying the limits of Code section 402(g) or this section).

Except as provided in the next sentence, the applicable limit for an individual’s tax year is the applicable dollar amount set forth in Code section 402(g)(1)(B), which limit shall be increased for the taxable year beginning in 2007 and later years in the same manner as the dollar amount under Code section 415(b)(1)(A) is adjusted pursuant to Code section 415(d). The applicable limit for an individual who is a qualified employee (as defined in Code section 402(g)(7)(C)) and has elective deferrals described in the immediately preceding clauses (3) or (5) for a taxable year is adjusted by increasing the applicable limit otherwise determined under Code section 402(g) in accordance with Code section 402(g)(7).

For purposes of determining the dollar limitation under Code section 402(g), any deferrals properly distributed as excess Annual Additions or returned as Excess Contributions shall not be included.

(b) Excess Deferrals shall mean the excess of an individual’s Elective Deferrals (as described in the preceding paragraph (a)) for any taxable year over the dollar limitation under Code section 402(g)(1)(B) (including, if applicable, the dollar limitation on Catch-up Contributions defined in Code section 414(v)). A designated Xxxx contribution is treated as an Excess Deferral only to the extent that the total amount of designated Xxxx contributions for an individual exceeds the applicable limit for the taxable year or the designated Xxxx contributions are identified as Excess Deferrals and the individual receives a distribution of the Excess Deferrals and allocable income under the Regulations regarding the correction of excess deferrals. The distribution of Excess Deferrals to a Participant that has Elective Deferrals of both Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions shall be pro rata.

(c) Date when Excess Deferrals are to be distributed. For any individual who has Excess Deferrals under this Plan, not later than the first April 15 following the close of the individual’s taxable year, the Plan Administrator shall distribute to such individual the amount of his Excess Deferral (and any income allocable to such amount). In addition, an individual who has Excess Deferrals for a taxable year may receive a corrective distribution of Excess Deferrals during the same year.

(d) Correction of Excess Deferrals. An individual who has Excess Deferrals for a taxable year may receive a corrective distribution of all or a portion of such deferrals during such taxable year or by April 15 of the next taxable year. Such corrective distribution may be made only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) Not later than the first April 15 following the close of the Participant’s taxable year, the Participant may notify the Plan of the amount of the Excess Deferrals received by the Plan. If any designated Xxxx contributions were made to the Plan, the notification must also identify the extent, if any, to which the Excess Deferrals are comprised of designated Xxxx contributions. The Participant is deemed to have notified the Plan of Excess Deferrals (including the portion of Excess Deferrals that are comprised of designated Xxxx contributions) to the extent the Participant has Excess Deferrals for the taxable year calculated by taking into account only the Elective Deferrals under this Plan and the other qualified plans of all employers within the same control group;

(2) The correcting distribution is made after the date on which the Plan received the Excess Deferral; and

(3) The Plan designates the distribution as a distribution of Excess Deferrals.

In order to distribute Excess Deferrals pursuant to this paragraph, such individual must make such designation in writing and the individual must certify or otherwise establish that the specified amount is an Excess Deferral.

(e) Income Allocable to Excess Deferrals. The income allocable to Excess Deferrals for a taxable year that begins on or after January 1, 2007 is equal to the sum of the allocable gain or loss for the taxable year of the individual. In addition, Excess Deferrals will be credited with gain or loss for the period after the close of the taxable year and prior to the actual date of distribution (the gap period) until such requirement is repealed by any Regulation, IRS pronouncement, or statute. The income allocable to Excess Deferrals for a taxable year that begins before 2007 is determined using Regulation 1.402(g)-1(e)(5) (as it appeared in the April 1, 2006 edition of 26 CFR Part 1).

(f) Method of Allocating Income. The Plan may use any reasonable method for computing the income allocable to Excess Deferrals (such as the method described in the following paragraph),

provided such method does not violate Code section 401(a)(4), is used consistently for all Participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating income to Participants’ Accounts. This Plan will not fail to use a reasonable method for computing the income allocable to Excess Deferrals merely because the income allocable to such Excess Deferrals is determined on a date that is no more than seven days before the distribution.

The Plan may determine the income allocable to Excess Deferrals for the taxable year by multiplying the income allocable to the Participant’s Elective Deferrals for the taxable year and the gap period by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the Participant’s Excess Deferrals for the taxable year. The denominator of the fraction is equal to the sum of the Participant’s total account balance attributable to Elective Deferrals as of the beginning of the taxable year, plus the Participant’s Elective Deferrals for the taxable year.

The Plan Administrator may elect to use a safe harbor method of allocating gap period income. Under the safe harbor method, income on Excess Deferrals for the gap period is equal to 10% of the income allocable to Excess Deferrals for the taxable year (calculated as described in the preceding paragraph) multiplied by the number of calendar months that have elapsed since the end of the taxable year. A corrective distribution made on or before the fifteenth day of the month shall be treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding month, and a distribution made after such fifteenth day shall be treated as having been made on the first day of the next month.

(g) Coordination with Excess Contributions. Excess Deferrals to be distributed to a Participant for his taxable year shall be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed for the Plan Year beginning in such taxable year.

(h) Notification by Employee. If the Plan is not notified by a Participant that such Participant’s limitation of Elective Deferrals (under Code section 402(g)) as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section has been exceeded, the Plan shall assume that such limitation has not been exceeded by such Participant’s Elective Deferrals to the Plan.

3.06. Matching Contributions. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer can make a Matching Contribution to the Plan on behalf of each Participant who makes an Elective Deferral or Nondeductible Employee Contribution for that Plan Year. The amount of such Matching Contributions shall be calculated for each Participant as specified by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. All Matching Contributions for any given Plan Year shall be contributed to the Trust by the Employer within the time prescribed by law, including extensions of time, for the filing of the Employer’s federal income tax return for the Employer’s fiscal year. The availability of Matching Contributions (if applicable) and Nondeductible Employee Contributions (if applicable) under the Plan shall not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees.

3.07.

Nondeductible Employee Contributions.

(a) In general. If the Adoption Agreement provides for Nondeductible Employee Contributions, a Participant may, at his option, make such Contributions to the Plan in cumulative amounts not to exceed ten percent (10%) of his Compensation for the Plan Year, or such percentage as specified in the Adoption Agreement. The amount of such Contributions, if any, shall be designated by the Participant on a form prescribed by the Plan Administrator. The method of payment of such Contributions shall be by payroll withholding unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement.

(b) Recharacterization of Excess Contributions. If Nondeductible Employee Contributions are provided for in the Adoption Agreement, in any Plan Year in which a Participant shall have an Excess Contribution amount that cannot be treated as a Catch-up Contribution, such Participant may elect to treat such excess amounts pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (b), or have such amounts distributed pursuant to Code section 401(k)(3) and the Regulations thereunder.

A Participant may treat his or her Excess Contribution amounts, for the Plan Year for which such Excess Contributions relate, as an amount distributed to such Participant and subsequently contributed by such Participant to the Plan. Contributions which are treated in the aforementioned manner shall be referred to as “Recharacterized” amounts. Recharacterized amounts shall be nonforfeitable and subject to the same distribution requirements as Salary Deferral amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts may not be Recharacterized by a Highly Compensated Participant to the extent that such amounts in combination with other Nondeductible Employee Contributions would exceed any stated limit under Sections 3.06 and 3.07(a) (determined prior to applying Code section 401(m)(2)(A) and Section 3.08).

Recharacterization must occur no later than two and one-half (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 Participant is informed in writing of the amount Recharacterized and the consequences thereof. Recharacterized amounts shall be taxable to a Participant for a Participant’s tax year in which such Participant would have received such amounts in cash.

3.08.

Actual Contribution Percentage Test.

(a) In general. For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1986, Nondeductible Employee Contributions and Matching Contributions shall satisfy the tests defined in Code section 401(m), and sections 1.401(m)-1(b)(1) and 1.401(m)-2 of the Regulations, which are hereby incorporated by reference. For purposes of this Section only, Matching Contribution means any Employer Contribution made to the Plan on account of an Elective Deferral made to the Plan, and any Forfeiture directly or indirectly allocated on the basis of Elective Deferrals or Matching Contributions. The Actual Contribution Percentage shall not include Catch-Up Contributions and contributions made with respect to Qualified Military Service as described in Section 3.14, along with applicable Matching Contributions made on those amounts.

The tests are as follows.

(1) The Actual Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Participant Group shall not exceed the greater of:

(A) 125% of such percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for the preceding Plan Year, or

(B) the lesser of 200% of such percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for the preceding Plan Year, or such percentage for the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the preceding Plan Year plus two (2) percentage points.

(2) The Employer may elect to use Current Year Testing rather than Prior Year Testing except that if the Current Year Testing election is made, it may not be changed unless the Employer satisfies the requirements for changing to Prior Year Testing as set forth in Internal Revenue Service Notice 98-1 (or its subsequent modification), or as provided by the Internal Revenue Service and, for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, if the Current Year Testing election is made, it may change to Prior Year Testing only in situations described in Regulation section 1.401(k)-2(c)(1)(ii).

(3) In the case of a Plan’s first Plan Year (other than a successor plan), the amount taken into account as the Actual Contribution Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group for the Prior Year Testing shall be 3%, unless the Employer elects to use Current Year Testing and, therefore, uses the Actual Contribution Percentage of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant Group during the first Plan Year.

(b) Nondiscrimination Safe Harbor. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement to satisfy the safe harbor provisions under Code section 401(m)(11) and section 1.401(m)-3 of the Regulations, which are herein incorporated by reference, then a Plan shall be treated as satisfying the Actual Contribution Percentage Test under Code section 401(m)(2) if:

(1) The Employer satisfies the nondiscrimination safe harbor for the Actual Deferral Percentage Test in Section 3.03(d), and

(A) The Matching Contributions made on behalf of any Participant are not made with respect to a Participant’s Elective Deferrals that exceed 6% of the Participant’s Compensation and any Matching Contributions that are discretionary do not exceed 4% of the Participant’s Compensation, and

(B) The rate of a Participant’s Matching Contribution to the Participant’s Elective Deferrals does not increase as the rate of a Participant’s Elective Deferrals increases, and

(C) The rate of Matching Contributions with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee’s Elective Deferrals is no greater than the rate of Matching Contributions with respect to a Nonhighly Compensated Participant’s Elective Deferrals; or

(2) The Plan satisfies the contribution requirements of Code section 401(k)(11)(B) or 401(k)(12), the vesting requirements of Code section 401(k)(12)(E)(i), and the notice requirement of Code section 401(k)(12)(D).

(c) Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Highly Compensated Participant for a Plan Year is to be determined by the following leveling method, under which the Actual Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Participant with the highest Nondeductible Employee and Matching Contributions is reduced to the extent required to enable the Plan to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test.

For each Highly Compensated Participant, the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions is the excess of the aggregate amount of the Nondeductible Employee Contributions and Matching Contributions and contributions treated as Matching Contributions (determined prior to the application of this paragraph) actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under the Actual Contribution Percentage Test (determined by reducing the contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Actual Contribution Percentage amounts beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount and continuing in descending order until all the Excess Aggregate Contributions have been allocated.)

For purposes of subsections (a) and (c) of this Section 3.08, Matching Contributions forfeited as a result of a correction or return of Excess Deferrals (determined pursuant to Section 3.05) or Excess Contributions (determined pursuant to the test described in Section 3.03) shall be credited for purposes of reducing any Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(d) Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions. In order to satisfy the requirements of Code section 401(m) for the Plan Year for which Excess Aggregate Contributions were made and for all subsequent years for which such contributions remain uncorrected, the Plan shall correct any Excess Aggregate Contributions after the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Aggregate Contributions arose and within 12 months after the close of such Plan Year. Further, failure to make such correction within 2¹/2 months after the close of the Plan Year for which such contributions were made (or 6 months after the close of the Plan Year for which they were made if an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement is elected in the Adoption Agreement) shall cause the Employer to be liable for ten percent (10%) excise tax on the amount of such Excess Aggregate Contributions which are not corrected.

. Excess Aggregate Contributions (and income allocable thereto) shall be designated by the Plan Administrator as a distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions (and income allocable thereto) and shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or if not forfeitable, distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Participant after the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Aggregate Contribution arose and within 12 months after the close of the following Plan Year. Such Excess Aggregate Contributions (and income allocable thereto) shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or if not forfeitable, distributed first from the Participant’s Nondeductible Employee Contributions, if any, then on a pro-rata basis from the Participant’s vested and nonvested Matching Contributions. In the event of the complete termination of the Plan during the Plan Year in which an Excess Aggregate Contribution arose, such distributions are to be made after termination of the Plan and before the close of the 12-month period immediately following such termination. Excess Aggregate Contributions, including forfeited Matching Contributions, shall be treated as Employer Contributions for purposes of Code sections 404 and 415 even if distributed from the Plan. The distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be made on the basis of the respective portions of such amounts attributable to each Highly Compensated Participant. Excess Aggregate Contributions may not be corrected by Forfeiture if such contributions are not forfeitable under the terms of the Plan. Matching Contributions that are vested may not be forfeited to correct Excess Aggregate Contributions. Matching Contributions that are not vested and which constitute Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be forfeited.

(e) Income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions. Income shall be allocated to Excess Aggregate Contributions by multiplying the Net Income allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year attributable to Matching Contributions, Nondeductible Employee Contributions (and amounts treated as Matching Contributions) by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Employee for the Plan Year. The denominator of the fraction is equal to the sum of:

(1) The total Account Balance of the employee attributable to Matching Contributions, Nondeductible Employee Contributions (and amounts treated as Matching Contributions) as of the beginning of the Plan Year; plus

(2) The Employee’s Matching Contributions, Nondeductible Employee Contributions (and amounts treated as Matching Contributions) for the Plan Year.

(3) Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, gap period income (the income on such Excess Aggregate Contributions for the period after the close of the Plan Year to which such Excess Aggregate Contributions relate and prior to the date of distribution) shall be required to be calculated. The gap period income is the amount determined by any reasonable method of allocating income or loss to the Participant’s Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year and for the gap period, provided the method used is the same method that is used by the Plan for allocating income or losses to Participants’ Accounts. This Plan will not fail to use a reasonable method for computing the income allocable to Excess

Aggregate Contributions merely because the income allocable to such Excess Aggregate Contributions is determined on a date that is no more than 7 days before the distribution. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994 and prior to January 1, 2006, or for Plan Years which begin on or after January 1, 2008, gap period income (the income attributable to such Excess Aggregate Contributions for the period between the end of the Plan Year to which such Excess Aggregate Contributions relate and the date of distribution) is not required to be calculated.

(f) Coordination with other corrections. The determination of the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions with respect to any Plan Year shall be made after:

(1) first determining Excess Deferrals;

(2) then determining Excess Contributions; and

(3) then determining the Excess Contributions that are treated as Nondeductible Employee Contributions due to Recharacterization (if provided for in the Adoption Agreement).

(g) Nondiscrimination Safe Harbor for Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement to satisfy the provisions under Code section 401(m)(12) and section 1.401(m)-3 of the Regulations which are herein incorporated by reference, then a Plan shall be treated as satisfying the Actual Contribution Percentage Test under Code section 401(m)(2) as follows:

(1) The Plan satisfies the requirements of Code section 401(k)(13); and

(2) The Matching Contributions made on behalf of any Participant are not made with respect to a Participant’s Elective Deferrals that exceed 6% of the Participant’s Compensation; and

(3) The rate of a Participant’s Matching Contribution to the Participant’s Elective Deferrals does not increase as the rate of a Participant’s Elective Deferrals increases; and

(4) The rate of Matching Contributions with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee’s Elective Deferrals is no greater than the rate of Matching Contributions with respect to a Nonhighly Compensated Participant’s Elective Deferrals.

3.09.

Qualified Nonelective and Matching Contributions.

(a) Allocation of Qualified Nonelective Contributions. If the Employer has elected to use Current Year Testing, then on behalf of any Nonhighly Compensated Participant, the Employer may, at its sole discretion, make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution that does not exceed the product of the Nonhighly Compensated Participant’s compensation and the greater of 5% or two times the Plan’s Representative Contribution Rate.

(1) The Representative Contribution Rate is the greater of (a) the lowest applicable contribution rate of any eligible Nonhighly Compensated Participant among a group of eligible Nonhighly Compensated Participants that consists of half of all eligible Nonhighly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year or (b) the lowest applicable contribution rate of any eligible Nonhighly Compensated Participant who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year. The applicable contribution rate is the sum of Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions for the Nonhighly Compensated Participants, divided by Nonhighly Compensated Participants’ compensation for the Plan Year.

(2) In any Plan Year, the Employer may designate which test, either as described in Section 3.03 or as described in Section 3.08 to which such Qualified Nonelective Contributions, if any, shall be applied.

(b) Actual Deferral Percentage Test. All or part of the Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions made with respect to Participants may be treated as Elective Deferrals for purposes of the Actual Deferral Percentage Test set forth in Section 3.03. Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions used to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage shall be disregarded for purposes of satisfying the Actual Contributions Percentage Tests set forth in Section 3.08. Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions used to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test shall be deemed Elective Deferrals.

(c) Actual Contribution Percentage Test. Qualified Matching Contributions used to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test are not subject to the Actual Contribution Percentage Test. All or part of the Qualified Nonelective Contributions made with respect to Participants in the Plan, and which are not used to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test, may be used to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test. Qualified Nonelective Contributions used to satisfy the Actual Contributions Percentage Test shall be deemed Matching Contributions.

(d) Restrictions. Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions used to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test shall not be taken into account in determining whether the requirements of the Actual Contribution Percentage Test are satisfied. Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions used to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test shall not be taken into account in determining whether the requirements of the Actual Deferral Percentage Test are satisfied. Only Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions made for the Plan Year may be used for purposes of satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage Test and Actual Contribution Percentage Test for that same Plan Year.

(e) Return of Excess Contributions. If Qualified Matching Contributions are used to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test, and, as a result of the test for a given Plan Year, there are Excess Contributions, then the distribution of the Excess Contributions shall be as follows. First, all Elective Deferrals that were not matched with Qualified Matching Contributions shall be distributed on a pro rata basis, and then, if required, the Qualified Matching Contributions deemed Elective Deferrals and the remaining Elective Deferrals shall be distributed pro-rata.

(f) Employer Election. The Plan Administrator may elect, in any Plan Year, to treat all or a part of the Employer’s Matching Contributions for such Plan Year as a Qualified Matching Contribution subject to the restrictions of this Section 3.09.

3.10. Rollover Contributions, Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions, and Plan-to-Plan Transfers. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan may permit Rollover Contributions, Plan-to-Plan Transfers, and Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions, subject to the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion and approval and subject to the provisions of this Section.

(a) Rollovers. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Trustee shall accept Rollover Contributions only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c) and, provided, further, that the Plan Administrator must first certify to the Trustee that such amount qualifies as a Rollover Contribution.

(b) Plan-to-Plan Transfers.

(1) If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Trustee shall accept Plan-to-Plan Transfers from another qualified plan under Code section 401(a) if the funds so transferred were held for the benefit of a person who is an Employee, whether or not a Participant, at the time of such transfer, provided, however, that the Plan Administrator must first certify to the Trustee (a) that such other employee benefit plan is qualified under Code section 401(a), and (b) what portion, if any of the funds to be received in a Plan-to-Plan Transfer were subject to restrictions on distributions similar to those set forth in Code section 401(k)(2)(B) or 401(a)(11)(B)(iii)(III) while in the other qualified plan. However, if the Plan-to-Plan Transfer is the result of a merger or partial merger of another profit sharing plan qualified under Code section 401(a), the Employer may amend the Plan to designate the accounts to which the monies will be applied, within the applicable limits of the law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a transfer directly to this Plan from another qualified plan (or a transaction having the effect of such a transfer) shall only be permitted if it will not result in the elimination or reduction of a Protected Benefit.

(2) The Plan will accept deferrals and match contributions that are legally and timely transferred from a nonqualified “Top-Hat” plan of the Employer with respect to Employees who are Participants in this Plan and Participants in the nonqualified plan.

(c) Rollover or Plan-to-Plan Transfer from Employer ESOP. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan shall accept a Rollover or Plan-to-Plan Transfer from an Employer’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), as defined in Code section 4975(e). The portion of an Employee’s ESOP Account which is eligible for “diversification” (as described in Code section 401(a)(28)(B)) may be rolled over or transferred to the Plan at the election of such Employee. Prior to approving such rollover or transfer, the Plan Administrator shall ascertain that the amount which is to be rolled over or transferred, in order to satisfy the “diversification” requirement of Code section 401(a)(28)(B), is eligible for “diversification” under the applicable provisions of the ESOP.

(d) Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions. If Xxxx 401(k) Contributions may be made to the Plan pursuant to the Employer’s election in the Adoption Agreement, the Trustee shall accept a Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contribution to a Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Account only if it is a direct rollover from another Xxxx elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code section 402A(e)(1) and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c). The Plan Administrator will provide for a separate accounting of amounts rolled over for the portion of the rollover which represents earnings (losses) and the portion which represents the net cumulative Xxxx 401(k) contribution amount.

3.11. Return of Contributions. Employer Contributions shall not be returned to the Employer except as described in Sections 12.10 and 12.11. However, any Elective Deferrals that are returned under Section 12.10 shall always be returned to the Employee on whose behalf such contributions were made, and under no circumstances shall such Elective Deferrals ever revert to the Employer. Any such returned Elective Deferrals shall be adjusted to include earnings on such returned contributions.

3.12. Owner-Employee Provisions. If the Plan provides contributions or benefits for one or more Owner-Employees who control both the business for which this Plan is established and one or more other trades or businesses, this Plan and the plan established for such other trades or businesses must, when looked at as a single plan, satisfy Code sections 401(a) and (d) for the employees of this and all other trades or businesses. If the Plan provides contributions or benefits for one or more Owner-Employees who control one or more other trades or businesses, the employees of the other trades or businesses must be included in a plan which satisfies Code sections 401(a) and (d) and which provides contributions and benefits not less favorable than provided for such Owner-Employees under this Plan. For purposes of this Section, an Owner-Employee, or two or more Owner-Employees, shall be considered to control a trade or business if the Owner-Employee or two or more Owner-Employees together, (1) own the entire interest in an unincorporated trade or business, or (2) in the case of a partnership, own more than 50% of either the capital interest or the profits interest in the partnership. An Owner-Employee shall be treated as owning any interest in a partnership which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a partnership which such Owner-Employee, or two or more such Owner-Employees, are considered to control within the meaning of the preceding sentence.

3.13. Other Nondiscrimination Requirements. Any other Employer Contributions made to the Plan, other than Rollover Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions that are not subject to the nondiscrimination tests set forth in either Sections 3.03 or 3.08, shall be allocated on the basis of a uniform formula. Such uniform formula shall allocate contributions to every Eligible Employee according to Compensation or such contributions shall be the same dollar amount for each Eligible Employee. Such formula shall be specified in the Adoption Agreement.

3.14 Qualified Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, effective December 12, 1994, contributions, benefits and Service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code section 414(u).

(a) Death Benefits. If a Participant dies on or after January 1, 2007, while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)), the survivors of the Participant are entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan, including vesting as described in Section 7.05(a), had the Participant resumed employment and then terminated employment on account of death.

(b) Benefit Accruals. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, for benefit accrual purposes, a Participant who dies or suffers a Disability on or after January 1, 2007, and while performing qualified military service, is treated as if the Participant had resumed employment in accordance with the Participant’s reemployment rights under federal law on the day preceding death or Disability, as the case may be, and terminated employment on the actual date of death or Disability. All such Participants performing qualified military service who die or become disabled as a result of performing qualified military service prior to reemployment by the Employer shall be credited with service and benefits on reasonably equivalent terms.

3.15.

Discretionary Contributions.

(a) In general. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer may make Discretionary Contributions to the Plan in such amounts and at such times as the Employer deems

appropriate. The amount of any such Contribution shall be determined annually by the Employer on a discretionary basis, unless otherwise stipulated in the Adoption Agreement.

(b) Contribution date. Any Discretionary Contribution for a Plan Year shall be contributed and paid over to the Trustee not later than the date prescribed by law for filing of the Employer’s federal income tax return (including extensions thereof) for the Employer’s taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year.

(c) Miscellaneous rules. In determining the amount of Discretionary Contributions to the Plan, the Employer shall be entitled to rely upon an estimate of the total Compensation for all Participants, and of the amounts contributed by it. The Employer’s determination of such Discretionary Contributions shall be binding on all Participants, the Plan Administrator and the Trustee.

ARTICLE IV. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND ALLOCATIONS.

4.01.

Establishment of Accounts. The following are accounts which may be maintained under the Plan:

(a) Employer Account. Shall mean the Employer Matching Account and the Employer Discretionary Account of each Participant.

(b) Employer Discretionary Account. If the Employer makes any Discretionary Contributions to the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall establish an Employer Discretionary Account for each Participant.

(c) Employer Matching Account. If the Employer makes any Matching Contributions to the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall establish an Employer Matching Account for each Participant.

(d) Forfeiture Account. If the Plan reallocates Forfeitures to Participants in accordance with Section 4.06(f), the Plan Administrator shall establish a Forfeiture Account for each Participant.

(e) Nondeductible Employee Account. If the Employer allows Nondeductible Employee Contributions in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan Administrator shall establish a Nondeductible Employee Account for each Participant who makes a Nondeductible Employee Contribution.

(f) Plan-to-Plan Transfer Account. If the Employer allows Plan-to-Plan Transfers in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan Administrator shall establish a Plan-to-Plan Transfer Account for each Employee who makes a Plan-to-Plan Transfer or for whose benefit a Plan-to-Plan Transfer is made to the Plan.

(h) Predecessor Employer Account. An Account established on behalf of each Participant pursuant to Section 1.54.

(i) Qualified Matching Contribution Account. If the Employer makes any Qualified Matching Contributions to the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall establish a Qualified Matching Contribution Account for each Participant.

(j) Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account. If the Employer makes any Qualified Nonelective Contributions to the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall establish a Qualified Nonelective Contribution Account for each Participant.

(k) Related Rollover Account. If the Adoption Agreement allows Related Rollover Contributions from plans related to the Employer, the Plan Administrator shall establish a Related Rollover Account for each Employee or Participant who makes such a Related Rollover Contribution or for whose benefit such a Related Rollover is made to the Plan.

(l) Rollover Account. Shall mean the Unrelated Rollover Account and the Related Rollover Account of each Employee or Participant.

(p) Salary Deferral Account. The Plan Administrator shall establish a Salary Deferral Account for each Participant and for those Employees who are not otherwise Participants but for whose benefit Plan-to-Plan Transfers are made which include funds subject to the restrictions on distribution set forth in Code section 401(k)(2)(B).

(q) Salary Deferral Catch-up Contribution Account. Shall mean an individual account for a Participant, which is credited with his Catch-up Contributions made as Salary Deferral Contributions pursuant to Section 3.01(d).

(r) Unrelated Rollover Account. If the Adoption Agreement allows Rollover Contributions from plans unrelated to the Employer, the Plan Administrator shall establish an Unrelated Rollover Account for each Employee or Participant who makes such an Unrelated Rollover Contribution or for whose benefit such an Unrelated Rollover is made to the Plan.

4.02. Accounting Procedure for Allocations.

(a) In general. As of each Valuation Date, the Plan Administrator shall:

(1) First, allocate, as necessary under this Plan, to such Participant’s Employer Matching Account, Forfeitures to any Participant who is entitled to have their Forfeitures restored;

(2) Next, allocate to each Participant’s Accounts any Nondeductible Employee Contributions, Related and Unrelated Rollover Contributions, Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions, Salary Deferral Contributions, Xxxx 401(k) Contributions, Matching Contributions, Discretionary Contributions and Plan-to-Plan Transfers that are to be allocated as of the Valuation Date in accordance with this Article;

(3) Next, allocate all withdrawals, payments or distributions made from such Participants’ Accounts since the next preceding Valuation Date that have not been previously allocated;

(4) Next, debit Participants’ Accounts for administrative fees paid, if any;

(5) Next, debit Participants’ Accounts for any insurance or annuity premiums paid, if any, and credit with any dividends received on insurance contracts;

(6) Next, use Forfeitures to reduce the Employer’s Contributions, or allocate Forfeitures to Participants, as specified in the Adoption Agreement;

(7) Finally, allocate the net income or net loss of the Trust Fund in accordance with the computation procedures set out in Section 4.04.

(b) Securities. The Valuation Date shall also be the inventory date for securities held by the Trust. The fair market value on the inventory date shall be used for a valuation of the securities held by the Trust. The respective Accounts of Participants are to be adjusted in accordance with the valuation.

(c) Insurance Contracts. Allocated life insurance and/or annuity contracts, i.e., contracts which are purchased to provide certain specified benefits for specific Participants, shall be presented on the Plan’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(d) Separate Accounting for Xxxx 401(k) Accounts and Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Accounts. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Contributions (including Catch-up Contributions made as Xxxx 401(k) Contributions pursuant to Section 3.01(d)) and withdrawals of Xxxx 401(k) Contributions shall be credited and debited to the Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Account and, if applicable, the Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account, and the Plan shall maintain a record of the Participant’s investment in the contract (i.e., Xxxx 401(k) Contributions that have not been distributed) with respect to the Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Account and, if applicable, the Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account. In addition, gains, losses, and other credits or charges must be separately allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to the Xxxx 401(k) Account and, if applicable, the Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account, and other accounts under the Plan. However, forfeitures may not be allocated to the Xxxx 401(k) Account or to the Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account and no contributions (including, without limitation, Matching Contributions) other than Xxxx 401(k) Contributions may be allocated to the Xxxx 401(k) Account or, if applicable, to the Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account. No rollover contributions, other than Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions, may be allocated to the Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Account. This separate accounting requirement shall apply at the time the Xxxx 401(k) Contribution is contributed to the Plan and shall continue to apply until the Xxxx 401(k) Account, Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account, and Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Account are completely distributed.

4.03.

Allocation of Participant Contributions.

(a) Nondeductible Employee Contributions. All Nondeductible Employee Contributions shall be credited to the Nondeductible Employee Account of the Participant making the contribution as of each Valuation Date.

(b) Rollover Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions All Rollover Contributions shall be credited to the applicable Rollover Account of the Employee or Participant making the contribution as of each Valuation Date. All Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Contributions shall be credited to the Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Account of the Employee or Participant making the contribution as of each Valuation Date.

(c) Plan-to-Plan Transfers. All Plan-to-Plan Transfers shall be credited to the Plan-to-Plan Transfer Account of such Employee as of each Valuation Date. Notwithstanding the preceding, any portion of a Plan-to-Plan Transfer or Rollover Contribution that the Plan Administrator has certified to the Trustee as having been subject to the restrictions on distribution set forth in Code section 401(k)(2)(B) while in the other qualified plan shall be credited to the Salary Deferral Account of the Employee, as of each Valuation Date.

4.04.

Allocation of Net Income or Net Loss.

(a) As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee or its designee shall subtract all distributions and withdrawals since the previous Valuation Date, add to each Account the amount of the contributions, and allocate the net earnings and gains or losses of the fund based on the individual account activity

of each such Participant’s Account during such period pursuant to a share accounting method under which each Participant’s investments in the investment funds shall be accounted for in actual shares purchased by the Plan contributions and allocated to the Participant’s Account. For this purpose, the Trustee or its designee, shall adopt uniform rules which conform to applicable law and generally accepted accounting practices. However, notwithstanding the above, a Participant shall cease to share in any earnings after Plan assets attributable to his Account are transferred into a disbursement account pending sale or liquidation of the Participant’s relevant investment funds and distribution of the proceeds thereof.

(b) If the Plan Administrator determines in making any valuation, allocation, or adding interest to any Account under the provisions of the Plan that the strict application of the provisions of the Plan will not produce an equitable and nondiscriminatory allocation among the Accounts of the Participants, it may modify any procedure specified in the Plan for the purpose of achieving an equitable and nondiscriminatory allocation in accordance with the general concepts of the Plan; provided, however, that any such modification shall not reduce the Participant’s vested Account and shall be consistent with the provisions of Code section 401(a). If the Plan Administrator in good faith determines that certain expenses of administration paid by the Trustee during the Plan Year under consideration are not general, ordinary, and usual and should not equitably be borne by all Participants, but should be borne only by one or more Participants, for whom or because of whom such specific expenses were incurred, the net earnings and adjustments in value of the Accounts shall be increased by the amounts of such expenses, and the Plan Administrator shall make suitable adjustments by debiting the particular Account or Accounts of such one or more Participants; provided, however, that any such adjustment must be nondiscriminatory and consistent with the provisions of Code section 401(a).

(c) As of each Valuation Date, any net income or net loss of the Trust Fund that is not attributable to (a) above shall be allocated in a nondiscriminatory manner as directed by the Plan Administrator.

4.05. Ascertainment of Net Income and Net Loss. Net income or net loss of the Trust Fund shall be ascertained as of each Valuation Date by the Trustee, whose finding shall be accepted by the Plan Administrator as conclusive, and shall mean the profit and any income received less the losses and expenses of the Trust Fund, plus or minus any net increase or decrease in the fair market value of the assets of the Trust Fund not realized. Such net income or net loss shall be determined in accordance with the accounting method selected by the Employer. Any life insurance contracts held by the Trustee shall be valued in accordance with Section 4.02(c) as of the Valuation Date, but such contracts shall be listed separately by type of contract and allocated to the appropriate Account of each Participant for whom they are held.

4.06.

Allocation of Employer Contributions and Forfeitures.

(a) Discretionary Contributions: Allocation in Proportion to Compensation. If the Employer elects to make Discretionary Contributions, all such Contributions shall be allocated to the Employer Discretionary Account of each Participant entitled to share in the allocation of such Contributions, as of each Valuation Date. Except to the extent otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, only those Participants who have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year and who are employed on the last day of the Plan Year shall share in the allocation of Discretionary Contributions for such Plan Year, and then only on the basis of their respective Compensation, unless otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a Participant who has a Severance from Employment, during the Plan Year for which a Discretionary Contribution is made, due to retirement, death or Disability, and who is otherwise eligible to receive an allocation of a Discretionary Contribution, shall receive an allocation of the Discretionary Contribution for such Plan Year.

(b) Discretionary Contributions: Integrated Allocation. If specified in the Adoption Agreement, a Discretionary Contribution, if any, shall be allocated to each Participant’s Account, except as provided in Section 8.04(a), in a dollar amount equal to 5.7% of the sum of each Participant’s total Compensation plus Excess Compensation. “Excess Compensation” means, with respect to a Plan that is integrated with Social Security, a Participant’s Compensation which is in excess of the amount set forth in the Adoption Agreement. If the Employer does not contribute such amount for all Participants, each Participant will be allocated a share of the contribution in the same proportion that his/her total Compensation plus his/her total Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation plus the total Excess Compensation of all Participants for the year. For purposes of this subsection (b), “Taxable Wage Base” shall mean, with respect to any year, the minimum amount of earnings which may be considered wages for such year under Code section 3121(a)(1).

Notwithstanding the preceding, 4.3% shall be substituted for 5.7% above if Excess Compensation is based on more than 20% and less than or equal to 80% of the Taxable Wage Base. If Excess Compensation is based on less than 100% and more than 80% of the Taxable Wage Base, then 5.4% shall be substituted for 5.7% above. The percentage of the Taxable Wage Base which shall be the basis for determining Excess Compensation shall be specified in the Adoption Agreement.

(1) The balance of the Discretionary Contribution over the amount allocated above, if any, shall be allocated to each Participant’s Account in the same proportion that his/her total Compensation for the year bears to the total Compensation of all Participants for such year.

(2) Except, however, for any Plan Year beginning prior to January 1, 1990, and if elected in the Adoption Agreement for any Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1990, a Participant who performs less than a Year of Service during any Plan Year shall not share in the Discretionary Contribution for that year, unless there is a short Plan Year (a Plan Year of less than twelve (12) consecutive months) or a contribution is required pursuant to Section 8.04(a).

(c) Discretionary Contributions: Allocation Based on Cross-Testing. If specified in the Adoption Agreement that the Plan is to utilize cross-testing as described in Section 1.401(a)(4)-8 of the Regulations, Employer contributions shall be allocated to each Participant’s Account in accordance with the following rules:

(1) All Participants in the Plan shall be classified as belonging to an Allocation Tier specified in the Adoption Agreement. Each of the Allocation Tiers shall receive a definite, designated portion of each Employer contribution.

(2) Prior to making any Employer contribution, the Employer shall designate in a written instrument the amount of such Employer contribution to be allocated to each Allocation Tier. Each of these written documents shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Employer, and shall be kept as part of the permanent records of the Plan.

(3) The amount of the Employer contribution designated as belonging to each Allocation Tier shall be allocated among the Participants in such Allocation Tier by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Compensation of each Participant in the Allocation Tier and the denominator of which is the aggregate of the Compensation of all Participants in such Allocation Tier.

(4) Alternatively, if elected in the Adoption Agreement, the amount of the Employer contribution to each Allocation Tier shall be allocated equally among the Participants in such Allocation Tier.

(5) In the event the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for the Plan Year, then notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer contribution shall be allocated so as to satisfy the minimum contribution allocation requirements as set forth in Section 8.04.

(6) Except to the extent otherwise elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, only those Participants who have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year and who are employed on the last day of the Plan Year shall share in the allocation of Discretionary Contributions for such Plan Year. Unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, the preceding sentence notwithstanding, a Participant who has a Severance from Employment, during the Plan Year for which a Discretionary Contribution is made, due to retirement, death or Disability, and who is otherwise eligible to receive an allocation of a Discretionary Contribution, shall receive an allocation of the Discretionary Contribution for such Plan Year.

(d) Elective Deferrals: Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions. Salary Deferral Contributions shall be allocated to the Salary Deferral Account of each Participant as of each Valuation Date. Xxxx 401(k) Contributions shall be allocated to the Xxxx 401(k) Account of each Participant as of each Valuation Date.

(e) Matching Contributions. If the Employer elects to make Matching Contributions, all such Contributions shall be allocated to the Employer Matching Account of such Participant as of each Valuation Date, or as of such other date or period as specified in the Adoption Agreement. A Participant who has made a Salary Deferral Contribution, a Xxxx 401(k) Contribution, or a Nondeductible Employee Contribution and who has a Severance from Employment, during a Plan Year for which the Employer has made a Matching Contribution, due to retirement, death or Disability, shall be eligible to receive an allocation of Matching Contributions notwithstanding that such Participant would otherwise not be eligible to receive such an allocation by reason of his or her failure to complete the minimum Service requirements or failure to be employed on the last day of such Plan Year.

(f) Forfeitures.

(1) As of each Valuation Date Forfeitures shall first be used, when necessary, to restore Forfeitures to the Accounts of any Participants qualified for such restoration and then shall be used for the Plan Year in which such Forfeitures occur and as provided for in the Adoption Agreement.

(2) If specified in the Adoption Agreement, as of each Anniversary Date any amounts which became Forfeitures since the last Anniversary Date, and which have not been used to reinstate previously forfeited Account Balances, if any, shall be used to satisfy Plan expenses as follows. All expenses incident to the administration, termination or protection of the Plan and Trust, including, but not limited to, actuarial, legal, accounting, administration, management, and Trustee’s fees, shall be paid out of the remaining Forfeitures. If the Forfeitures are insufficient to pay for such expenses, any remaining liabilities, may, at the Employer’s sole discretion, be paid by the Employer. For the convenience and the facilitation of the administration of the Plan, the Employer may pay any such expenses and be reimbursed for those expenses out of Forfeitures, to the extent that Forfeitures are available and to the extent

that such expenses (as non-settlor functions) are permitted, by the Department of Labor, to be reimbursed in such manner.

(3) Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, the remaining Forfeitures attributable to Matching Contributions, if any, shall only be allocated to Participants who made an Elective Deferral for the applicable Plan Year, and who were employed with the Employer on the last day of the applicable Plan Year, and shall be allocated according to the following method:

(A) The Forfeitures shall be used to reduce the Matching Contribution of the Employer hereunder for the Plan Year in which such Forfeitures occur.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, the remaining Forfeitures attributable to Discretionary Contributions, if any, shall only be allocated to those Participants who have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year and who are employed on the last day of the Plan Year, and shall be allocated according to one of the following methods (A, B, or C below), as specified in the Adoption Agreement.

(A) The Forfeitures shall be used to reduce the Discretionary Contribution of the Employer hereunder for the Plan Year in which such Forfeitures occur.

(B) Forfeitures shall be allocated among eligible Nonhighly Compensated Participants in accordance with the allocation formula for Discretionary Contributions.

(C) Forfeitures shall be allocated among eligible Participants in accordance with the allocation formula for Discretionary Contributions.

Forfeitures allocated under subparagraph (B), and (C) shall be allocated once a year as of the Anniversary Date of the Plan Year, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement.

(5) If specified in the Adoption Agreement, Forfeitures, without regard to whether attributable to Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions, shall be used to reduce any current or future Employer contributions.

(6) If specified in the Adoption Agreement, Forfeitures, without regard to whether attributable to Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions, shall be allocated among eligible Participants who are credited with one (1) Year of Service and who are employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, on the basis that each such eligible Participant’s Total Account Balance bears to the Total Account Balances of all eligible Participants.

(7) If specified in the Adoption Agreement, Forfeitures, without regard to whether attributable to Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions, shall be allocated among eligible Participants who are credited with one (1) Year of Service and who are employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, on the basis that each such eligible Participant’s Compensation bears to the total Compensation of all eligible Participants.

Forfeitures allocated pursuant to paragraphs (6) and (7) above, shall be allocated once each Plan Year as of the Anniversary Date of a Plan Year.

(g) Additional Allocations. Unless specified otherwise in the Adoption Agreement, in the event that the allocations made pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (c), (e) or (f) of this Section 4.06, would result in a failure to satisfy the requirements of Code section 410(b), or of the Regulations thereunder,

the Plan Administrator may determine that an additional number of Nonhighly Compensated Employees shall be eligible to share in the allocation made under such subsections. Such additional number of such Nonhighly Compensated Employees shall be the minimum number necessary to enable the Plan to qualify under Code section 410(b). Such additional Nonhighly Compensated Employees who shall be eligible to share in such allocation shall be selected in the following order:

(1) first, from among such Participants who were employed on the last day of the Plan Year and who failed to complete a Year of Service in the Plan Year;

(2) then, from among such Participants who were not employed on the last day of the Plan Year, ranked in order of those who have completed the largest number of Hours of Service.

(h) Coverage Requirements: Testing Methods. The Plan shall at all times comply with the provisions of Code section 410(b) and the Regulations thereunder and may use any method of testing permitted therein and, in determining the portion of the Plan benefiting otherwise excludable employees, the Plan Administrator may use (1) the maximum entry date set forth in Code section 410(a), (2) the Plan’s entry date, (3) the date the Participant attains the age of 21 and completes one Year of Service, or (4) any reasonable entry date convention which is nondiscriminatory and which does not exceed the maximum entry date set forth in Code section 410(a).

ARTICLE V. LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS.

5.01. Participants Covered by this Plan Only.

(a) In general. If a Participant does not participate in, and has never participated in another qualified plan, 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, which provides an Annual Addition, the total amount of Annual Additions which may be credited to the Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year shall 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 a Participant’s Account would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the amount contributed or allocated shall be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount.

(b) Calculation of Maximum Permissible Amount. Prior to determining a Participant’s 415(c) Compensation for the Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Participant’s 415(c) Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all Participants 415(c) Compensation for the Limitation Year. As soon as administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year shall be determined on the basis of the Participant’s 415(c) Compensation for the Limitation Year.

5.02. More than One Plan.

(a) Two or more defined contribution plans. This subsection (a) applies if, in addition to this Plan, a Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer for the current and all prior Limitation Years. For this purpose, another qualified defined contribution plan shall include the Annual Additions attributable to a Participant’s Nondeductible Employee Contributions to all defined benefit plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer, and the Annual Additions attributable to all welfare benefit funds (as defined in Code section 419(e)) maintained by the Employer, and an individual medical account (as defined in Code section 415(l)(2)) maintained by the Employer, which provides an Annual Addition during any Limitation Year.

The maximum aggregate amount in any Limitation Year is the lesser of 125 percent of the dollar limitation determined under Code sections 415(b) and (d) in effect under Code section 415(c)(1)(A) or 35 percent of the Participant’s 415(c) Compensation for such Year.

(1) If a Participant participates in more than one defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer which have different Anniversary Dates, the Maximum Permissible Amount under this Plan shall equal the maximum Annual Additions for the Limitation Year minus any Annual Additions previously credited to such Participant’s Accounts during the Limitation Year.

(2) If a Participant participates in both a defined contribution plan subject to Code section 412 and a defined contribution plan not subject to Code section 412 maintained by the Employer which have the same Anniversary Date, Annual Additions shall be credited to the Participant’s Accounts under the defined contribution plan subject to Code section 412 prior to crediting Annual Additions to the Participant’s Accounts under the defined contribution plan not subject to Code section 412.

(3) If a Participant participates in more than one defined contribution plan not subject to Code section 412 maintained by the Employer which have the same Anniversary Date, the maximum Annual Additions under this Plan shall equal the product of:

(A) the maximum Annual Additions for the Limitation Year minus any Annual Additions previously credited under (1) or (2) above, multiplied by

(B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Annual Additions which would be credited to such Participant’s Accounts under this Plan without regard to the limitations of Code section 415 and the denominator of which is such Annual Additions for all plans described in this paragraph.

(b) Rules shall comply with Code section 415. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, the limitations, adjustments and other requirements prescribed in this Section shall at all times comply with the provisions of Code section 415 and the Regulations thereunder, the terms of which are specifically incorporated herein by reference for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1999.

5.03. Adjustment for Excess Annual Additions.

(a) Definition of Excess Amount. For the purpose of this Section, Excess Amount for any Participant for a Limitation Year shall mean the excess, if any, of (1) the Annual Additions which would be credited to his Account under the terms of the Plan without regard to the limitations of Code section 415 over (2) the maximum Annual Additions determined pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, as applicable.

Note: paragraphs (b) through (d) below do not apply to Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 2006.

(b) Correction of Errors. For Limitation Years beginning prior to January 1, 2009, if, as a result of a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s 415(c) Compensation, or other facts and circumstances to which section 1.415-6(b)(6) of the Regulations shall be applicable, there is an Excess Amount, such Excess Amount shall be disposed of as follows:

(1) first, distribute to the Participant any Nondeductible Employee Contribution amount credited for the Limitation Year to the extent that the return would reduce the Excess Amount in the Participant’s Accounts;

(2) second, distribute to the Participant any Salary Deferral Contribution amount credited for the Limitation Year to the extent that the return would reduce the Excess Amount in the Participant’s Accounts, Salary Deferral Contributions that have not been matched shall be returned to a Participant before returning any Salary Deferral Contributions that have been matched;

(3) then, hold any Excess Amount remaining after the return of any Nondeductible Employee Contributions and Salary Deferral Contributions in an Annual Additions Suspense Account, Excess Amounts which are Discretionary contributions shall be placed in such Annual Additions Suspense Account prior to any Matching Contributions being placed in such account;

(4) then, use the Annual Additions Suspense Account in the next Limitation Year (and

succeeding Limitation Years if necessary) to reduce Employer Contributions for that Participant if that Participant is covered by the Plan as of the end of the Limitation Year, or if the Participant is not so covered;

(5) then, reduce Employer Contributions to the Plan for such Limitation Year (and succeeding Limitation Years if necessary) by the amount of the Annual Additions Suspense Account allocated and reallocated during such Limitation Year.

If the Employer maintains a contribution plan subject to Code section 412 and a defined contribution plan not subject to Code section 412, then corrections shall first be made to the Plan which is not subject to Code section 412.

If the Employer maintains more than one defined contribution plan subject to Code section 412, then the Employer shall specify in the Board Resolution adopting the Plans as to the order of correction.

Salary Deferral Contributions and Nondeductible Employee Contributions that are returned under this Section shall be disregarded for purposes of Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, and 3.08.

For Limitation Years beginning after January 1, 2009, if, as a result of a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s 415(c) Compensation, or other facts and circumstances to which section 1.415-6(b)(6) of the Regulations shall be applicable, there is an Excess Amount, such Excess Amount shall be corrected exclusively by the methods set forth in the Internal Revenue Service Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System.

(c) Definition of Annual Additions Suspense Account. For the purpose of this Section, Annual Additions Suspense Account shall mean an unallocated account equal to the sum of the Excess Amounts for all Participants in the Plan during the Limitation Year. The Annual Additions Suspense Account shall not share in any earnings or losses of the Trust Fund.

If an Annual Additions Suspense Account is in existence at any time during a particular Limitation Year, all amounts in such account shall be allocated and reallocated to Participants’ Accounts before any Employer contributions (or Employee contributions, if applicable) may be made to the Plan for that Limitation Year.

(d) Plan may not distribute Excess Amounts. The Plan may not distribute Excess Amounts to Participants or Former Participants, except to correct errors as provided for in (b) above.

(e) Controlled group rules. For the purpose of this Section, if the Employer is a member of a controlled group of corporations, trades or businesses under common control (as defined by Code section 1563(a) or Code sections 414(b) and (c) as modified by Code section 415(h)), is a member of an affiliated service group (as defined by Code section 414(m)), or is a member of any other entity required to be aggregated pursuant to Regulations under Code section 414(o), then all employees of such employers or entities shall be considered to be employed by a single employer.

ARTICLE VI. VESTING.

6.01. Employer Account Vesting Schedule. Prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age, a Participant’s Vested Balance in the amounts credited to his Employer Account shall be determined in accordance with the vesting schedule specified in the Adoption Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in Top-Heavy Plan Years, a Participant’s Vested Balance in his Employer Account shall be determined pursuant to the vesting schedule under Section 8.03.

6.02. Vesting Computation Method.

(a) In general. If Breaks-in-Service and Years of Service are calculated under the 1,000 Hour Method, then for vesting purposes an Employee shall be credited with a Year of Service for each Plan Year in which the Employee completes 1,000 or more Hours of Service.

If Breaks-in-Service and Years of Service are calculated under the Elapsed Time Method, then for vesting purposes an Employee shall be credited with a Year of Service for each 12-consecutive months of Service, which begins on the employment commencement date.

(b) Change In Computation Period. In the event that the Plan Year is the vesting computation period and the Plan is amended to change the Plan Year (the vesting computation period) to a different 12-consecutive month period, the first vesting computation period established under such amendment shall begin before the last day of the preceding vesting computation period. A Participant who is credited with 1,000 Hours of Service in both the vesting computation period under the Plan before such amendment, and in the first vesting computation period under the Plan after such amendment, shall be credited with two (2) Years of Service for vesting computation purposes.

6.03. Years of Service. Years of Service with an Affiliate and Years of Service with an Employer whose Plan is merged with this Plan (unless otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement), shall be counted for vesting purposes, unless excluded hereunder.

In computing periods of Service for purposes of vesting, all Years of Service shall be counted, except as follows (unless such Service is specifically credited pursuant to the Adoption Agreement):

(a) If a Former Participant has a one-year Break-in-Service, his pre-break and post-break Service shall be used for computing Years of Service for vesting purposes only after he has been employed for one (1) Year of Service following the date of his reemployment;

(b) Any Former Participant who under the Plan does not have a nonforfeitable right to any interest in the Plan resulting from Employer contributions shall lose credits otherwise allowable under (a) above if his consecutive one-year Breaks-in-Service equal or exceed the greater of five (5) Breaks-in-Service or the aggregate number of his pre-break Years of Service;

(c) After five (5) consecutive one-year Breaks-in-Service, a Former Participant’s Vested Balance attributable to pre-break Service shall not be increased as a result of post-break Service;

(d) Years of Service before Age 18;

(e) Years of Service before the Employer maintained this Plan or a predecessor plan.

6.04. Amendment of Vesting Schedule.

(a) In general. No amendment shall, directly or indirectly, decrease (but may increase) a Participant’s Vested Balance in his Employer Account, determined as of the later of the date the amendment is adopted, or the date such amendment is effective. If the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of the vested interest of Participants (or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a Top-Heavy vesting schedule), each Participant with at least three (3) Years of Service with the Employer may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment, to have his Vested Balance computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment.

(b) Election Period. The period during which the election, provided for in (a) above, may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made, and shall end on the latest of:

(1) sixty (60) days after the amendment is adopted;

(2) sixty (60) days after the amendment becomes effective; or

(3) sixty (60) days after a Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Employer or Plan Administrator.

Notwithstanding any vesting schedule specified in the Adoption Agreement, if this is an amendment and restatement of the Plan, then the vested percentage of a Participant’s Discretionary Account or Matching Account shall not be less than the vested percentage attained for the Discretionary Account or Matching Account, as applicable, as of the later of the effective date or adoption date of this amendment and restatement.

6.05. Other Accounts Fully Vested. The amounts credited to a Participant’s Salary Deferral Account, Salary Deferral Catch-up Contribution Account, Xxxx 401(k) Account, Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account, Nondeductible Employee Account, Rollover Account, and Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Account shall always be 100% vested and nonforfeitable.

ARTICLE VII. BENEFITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

7.01. Application of Provisions. The requirements of this Article shall apply to any distribution of a Participant’s Vested Balance in his Accounts. A Participant shall not be required to obtain the consent of his or her Spouse prior to obtaining a distribution from the Plan, unless the Adoption Agreement specifically provides otherwise. If such consent is required, such consent shall be in writing and shall be witnessed by a representative of the Plan or by a notary public.

7.02. Normal Retirement Benefits. When a Participant attains his Normal Retirement Age, he shall be 100% vested in his Employer Accounts. Upon a Participant’s termination of Service on or after attaining his Normal Retirement Age, his Vested Balance shall be payable to him pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII.

7.03. Termination Benefit Prior to Normal Retirement.

(a) General Rule. Upon a Participant’s Severance from Employment (for reasons other than death or Disability) prior to his attaining Normal Retirement Age or Early Retirement Age (unless the Adoption Agreement specifically does not provide for an Early Retirement Age), his Vested Balance in his Accounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 7.07 and in the manner provided in Section 7.08 and the Adoption Agreement. Subject to the provisions of subsection (b), a Participant’s Forfeiture, if any, shall be maintained in his Employer Account and shall be held in the Trust as uninvested cash until it is reallocated in accordance with Section 4.06(f).

(b) Miscellaneous provisions.

(1) If a Participant has a Severance from Employment and elects to receive payment of his entire Vested Balance, the amount subject to Forfeiture shall be the remaining balance in such Account. If the Participant elects to have distributed less than his entire Vested Balance, the part of the non-vested portion which shall be subject to Forfeiture is the total non-vested portion multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the distribution from the Employer Account and the denominator of which is the total value of the Employer Account of such Participant.

(2) If the value of the vested benefit of a Participant who has had a Severance from Employment does not exceed $5,000, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to cause the entire vested benefit to be paid in accordance with (A) and/or (B) below:

(A) If the value of the vested benefit does not exceed $1,000 ($5,000 prior to March 28, 2005 and after December 31, 1997), and the Participant does not make an affirmative election to receive his vested benefit, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to pay the benefit to the Participant in a single lump sum.

(B) If the value of the vested benefit exceeds $1,000 but does not exceed $5,000, and the Participant does not make an affirmative election to receive his vested benefit, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to pay the benefit in a direct rollover for the benefit of the Participant to an individual retirement arrangement designated by the Plan Administrator, if elected in the Adoption Agreement to provide for such automatic rollover.

(3) If a Participant has a Severance from Employment, there shall be no distribution of any benefits where the present value of the nonforfeitable accrued benefit (taking into consideration benefits derived from both Employer and Employee contributions) is in excess of $5,000 without the consent of the Participant and, when applicable, the consent of the Participant’s Spouse. The consent of a Participant’s Spouse shall be required if such spousal consent is otherwise specifically required, as set forth in the Adoption Agreement.

(4) If any Former Participant shall be reemployed by the Employer before incurring five (5) consecutive one-year Breaks-in-Service, and such Former Participant had received, or was deemed to have received, a distribution of his entire Vested Balance prior to his reemployment, his forfeited Account shall be reinstated only if he repays the full amount distributed to him before the earlier of five (5) years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently reemployed by the Employer, or the date the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive one-year Breaks-in-Service following the date of distribution. If an Employee is deemed to receive a distribution pursuant to a cash-out where such Participant has a vested percentage of zero percent (0%), and such Participant resumes employment covered under this Plan before the date such Participant incurs five (5) consecutive one-year Breaks-in-Service, upon the reemployment of such Former Participant, the Employer-derived Account balance of such Former Participant shall be restored to the amount on the date of such deemed distribution. If a distribution occurs for any reason other than a Severance from Employment, the time for repayment may not end earlier than five (5) years after the date of separation.

(5) In the event the Former Participant does repay the full amount distributed to him, or in the event of a deemed distribution, the undistributed portion of the Participant’s Account must be restored in full, unadjusted by any gains or losses occurring subsequent to the Anniversary Date or other valuation date coinciding with or preceding his termination.

(A) The source for such reinstatement shall first be from any Forfeitures occurring during the year (or from a prior year). If such source is insufficient, then the Employer shall contribute an amount which is sufficient to restore any such forfeited amounts provided, however, that if a Discretionary Contribution is made for such year pursuant to Section 3.15, such contribution shall first be applied to restore any such Accounts and the remainder shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.06(f).

(B) With respect to the repayment amount, the Plan Administrator shall make a determination as to what portion of the repayment amount remains tax-deferred, and what portion has been subject to federal income tax. The Plan Administrator shall establish an appropriate account for the returned distribution, designated as a returned distribution, by source, and by tax status.

7.04. Disability Benefits.

(a) In general. Unless the Employer elects otherwise in the Adoption Agreement disability benefits shall be provided prior to a Participant’s Normal Retirement Age by reason of such Participant’s Disability. Accordingly, upon a determination of a Participant’s Disability by the Plan Administrator, a Participant’s vested percentage in his Employer Account shall be 100% and the Vested Balance shall be payable to such Participant pursuant to this Article VII.

(b) Determination of Disability. The Plan Administrator shall require a Participant to establish that he or she is disabled in order to obtain a distribution under the Plan by reason of such Disability. The Adoption Agreement shall specify the evidence which a Participant shall be required to provide

to the Plan Administrator in order to establish Disability. The Adoption Agreement shall specify which of the following shall apply:

(1) A Participant shall furnish to the Plan Administrator evidence that the federal Social Security Administration has determined that the Participant is eligible to receive total disability benefits under the federal Social Security Act; or

(2) A Participant shall furnish to the Plan Administrator certification of such Disability from a licensed doctor of medicine on a form to be provided by the Plan Administrator; or

(3) A Participant shall furnish to the Plan Administrator certification of such Disability, obtained separately from at least two licensed doctors of medicine, on a form provided by the Plan Administrator; or

(4) A Participant shall be required to obtain a certification of such Disability from one or more licensed doctors of medicine. The Employer shall designate the doctor or doctors from whom the Participant shall obtain such certification. In the event that the Participant is required to obtain such certification of Disability from a doctor or doctors designated by the Employer, the Employer shall bear the cost incurred by obtaining such certification by such doctor or doctors.

The preceding notwithstanding, the Adoption Agreement may specify a type or degree of certification required to establish a Disability other than those stated in (1) through (4) above. In the event the Adoption Agreement does not specify the type or degree of certification required to establish a Disability, paragraph (1) above shall apply.

7.05. Death Benefits.

(a) Full Vesting. Upon the death of any Participant while in Service, his vested percentage in his Employer Account shall be 100% and his Vested Balance along with any Death Benefit due to the Trust as a result of the Participant’s death shall be payable to the Participant’s Surviving Spouse or, if the Surviving Spouse consents, or if there is not a Surviving Spouse, to a designated Beneficiary of the Participant.

(b) Payable to Beneficiary. Upon the death of any Participant after Severance from Employment, the remaining amounts in his Accounts which were vested at the time of his termination shall be payable to his Beneficiary.

(c) Death after distribution of balance. If the Participant dies after distribution of his Vested Balance has commenced, the remaining portion of such Vested Balance shall continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant’s death.

(d) Death before distribution of balance. If the Participant dies before distribution of his Vested Balance commences, the Participant’s entire Vested Balance shall be completely distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s death except to the extent that an election is made to receive distributions in accordance with (1) or (2) below:

(1) If any portion of the Participant’s Vested Balance is payable to a designated Beneficiary, distributions may be made over the life of the designated Beneficiary or over a period certain not greater than the life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary, if permitted under the

Adoption Agreement, commencing on or before December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died; or

(2) If the designated Beneficiary is the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, the date distributions are required to begin in accordance with (1) above shall not be earlier than the later of: (i) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or (ii) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2.

(e) Calculation of payments. For purposes of (d) above, payments shall be calculated by use of the life expectancy and distribution period tables in Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9 and in accordance with Regulations sections 1.401(a)(9)-3 and 1.401(a)(9)-5.

For the purpose of this Section 7.05, distribution of a Participant’s interest is considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (as defined in Section 7.07(b)), or if subsection (d) above is applicable, the date distribution is required to begin to the Surviving Spouse pursuant to subsection (g) below.

(f) Payment to a child of the Participant. For purposes of paragraphs (c), (d) and (e), any amount paid to a child of the Participant shall be treated as if it had been paid to the Surviving Spouse if the amount becomes payable to the Surviving Spouse when the child reaches the age of majority.

(g) Miscellaneous. Upon the death of any Participant, the Surviving Spouse can direct the commencement of benefits 60 days after the end of the Plan Year in which the death occurred.

Where an amount is distributable under subsection (d) above, the Beneficiary must elect the method of distribution no later than the earlier of:

(1) December 31 of the calendar year in which distributions would be required to begin under subsection (d) above, or

(2) December 31 of the calendar year which contains the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of death of the Participant.

If the Participant has no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, or if the designated Beneficiary does not elect a method of distribution, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest must be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Participant’s death.

If the Participant dies without a designated Beneficiary surviving such Participant, the Participant’s entire interest shall be paid to such Participant’s estate.

7.06. Certification of Severance from Employment. The Plan Administrator shall certify to the Trustee the fact of Severance from Employment of a Participant, and the amounts due from his Accounts.

7.07. Commencement of Benefits.

(a) In general. Upon a Participant’s entitlement to a distribution of benefits under Section 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05 or 12.08, a Participant shall file with the Plan Administrator a written election on such form or forms, and subject to such conditions, as the Plan Administrator shall provide. A Participant may elect to receive a distribution of benefits as soon as administratively practicable. Such election shall specify whether distribution of benefits is to begin as soon as administratively

feasible, subject to the Plan’s provisions, or to be deferred to the extent provided below. The Plan Administrator shall distribute a Participant’s benefit pursuant to such Participant’s election, provided that, if payments become due for any reason including retirement at or after age 65, death or Disability, and if the amounts due from the Participant’s Accounts (including Employer and Employee Contributions, but not including accumulated deductible Employee Contributions) are in excess of $5,000, payment of such amounts shall be deferred to the extent provided below unless the Participant consents in writing to earlier payment. Furthermore, this provision shall not be subject to the consent of a Participant’s Spouse.

(b) Required minimum distributions. For each Plan Year, a Participant’s required minimum distributions shall begin no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date and shall satisfy Code section 401(a)(9) and section 1.401(a)(9) of the Regulations, which are herein incorporated by reference. A Participant’s Required Beginning Date is the date upon which a Participant must begin receiving a distribution of his or her interests in the Plan, in accordance with Code section 401(a)(9)(C).

(c) Provisions take precedence. The provisions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) override any settlement options in the Plan inconsistent with the above.

(d) Distribution commencement date. Except as limited in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Trustee shall commence benefit payments for all claims authorized for payment in a Plan Year no later than 60 days following the end of the applicable Plan Year or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in no event later than 180 days after the end of the applicable Plan Year, except where such delay is required by special circumstances. Such special circumstances include the transfer, merger and/or consolidation of assets of this Plan with another plan, liquidation of assets or surrender of insurance contracts, the partial or full termination of the Plan, or irregularities discovered in the books of the Plan as a result of an audit or investigation of the Plan, or any other unusual circumstances that would cause a prudent man to delay allocating earnings and losses in the Trust. Such benefit payments shall be delayed until the Named Fiduciaries agree that the records and books of the Plan are in sufficient order and in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices so that benefit payments can fairly and accurately be made. In such matters, the decision of the Named Fiduciaries shall be final, binding and conclusive. Furthermore, unless a Participant elects otherwise, and subject to the limitations in paragraphs (a) and (b) , payment of his benefits under this Plan shall be made or commence no later than the 60th day after the later of:

(1) the end of the year of his 65th birthday; or

(2) the end of the year in which his employment terminates. If benefits due from a Participant’s Accounts are paid as of the date of entitlement to such benefits, any further amount which may be due from a Participant’s Accounts shall be paid to the recipient no later than 60 days following the end of the Plan Year in which Severance from Employment with the Employer occurs.

Notwithstanding the preceding, if a Participant elects, he or she shall receive a distribution as soon as administratively practicable after such Participant requests a distribution pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

(e) Other rules. If a distribution is made at a time when a Participant is not fully vested in his Employer Account and the Participant may increase the vested percentage in such Account:

(1) a separate Account shall be established for the Participant’s interest in his Employer Account, as of the time of the distribution; and

(2) at any relevant time, the Participant’s vested portion of the separate Account shall be equal to an amount (“X”) determined by the formula:

X equals P(A plus (R x D)) — (R x D)

For purposes of applying the formula: P is the vested percentage at the relevant time, A is the Account balance at the relevant time, D is the amount of the distribution, and R is the ratio of the Account balance at the relevant time to the Account balance after distribution.

(f) Distributions Prior to 30 Day Period. A distribution, to which Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417 do not apply, may commence less than thirty (30) days after the notice required under section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Regulations. Provided, however, that prior to such a distribution:

(1) the Plan Administrator shall clearly inform the Participant or Beneficiary or alternate payee that he or she has the right to a period of at least thirty (30) days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and

(2) the Participant, Beneficiary, or alternate payee, after receiving the notice affirmatively (by signing a waiver provided by the Plan Administrator) waives such notice period and elects a distribution.

7.08. Settlement Options.

(a) In general. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Adoption Agreement, and subject to a Qualified Election, if the provisions of Appendix A apply, and subject to the consent of the Participant’s Spouse, if the Adoption Agreement requires spousal consent, distributions may only be made in one of the following methods:

(1) In a single lump-sum in cash or in partial payments in cash, and if the Plan and/or the Participant has invested in Employer stock, at the Participant’s election, in such Employer stock.

7.09. Transitional Rules.

(a) In general. Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Article, and subject to the requirements of the Adoption Agreement, distribution on behalf of any Participant, including a Five Percent Owner, may be made in accordance with all of the following requirements (regardless of when such distribution commences).

(1) 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.

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

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

(4) The Participant had a balance in one or more Accounts under the Plan as of December 31, 1983.

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

(b) Distribution upon death. A distribution upon death of a Participant shall not be covered by the transitional rule in this Section 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 Participant.

(c) Method of distribution. For any distribution which commenced before January 1, 1984, but continued after December 31, 1983, the Participant, or the Beneficiary to whom such distribution is being made, shall 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 subparagraphs (a)(1) and (a)(5).

(d) Method of distribution must satisfy Code section 401(a)(9). If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the requirements of Code section 401(a)(9), as amended. Any changes in the designation shall be considered to be a revocation of the designation. If the designation is revoked subsequent to the date distributions are required to begin, the Trust 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 Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) section 242(b)(2) election. For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, such distributions must meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements in sections 1.401(a)(9)-2 and 1.401(a)(9)-5 of the Regulations. In the case where an amount is transferred or rolled over from one plan to another plan, the rules in Q&A-14 and Q&A-15 of section 1.401(a)(9)-8 of the Regulations shall apply.

7.10. Presumption of Mental Competency.

Each person entitled to a payment hereunder shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent until the date on which the Plan Administrator receives a written notice in a form satisfactory to the Plan Administrator that such person is mentally incompetent and that a guardian, conservator or other person legally vested with the care of his estate has been appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Payments shall be made to such guardian or conservator of the estate of the jurisdiction. Any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Plan.

7.11. Financial Hardship Withdrawals.

(a) In general. A withdrawal can be made on account of financial hardship only if the withdrawal both is made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Employee and is necessary to satisfy such financial need. The Plan Administrator shall determine the existence of an immediate and heavy financial need and the amount necessary to meet the need, in accordance with the nondiscriminatory and objective standards set forth in this Section. The determination of whether an Employee has an immediate and heavy financial need is to be made on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. A financial need shall not fail to qualify as immediate and heavy merely because such need was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by the Employee.

A Participant shall not be required to obtain the consent of his or her Spouse prior to obtaining a financial hardship withdrawal unless the Adoption Agreement specifically requires spousal consent.

(b) Deemed Financial Hardships. A withdrawal shall be deemed to be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Employee if the withdrawal is on account of:

(1) Expenses for medical and/or dental care that would be deductible under Code section 213(a) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income) or necessary for these persons to obtain such medical or dental care; or

(2) Costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the Employee (excluding mortgage payments); or

(3) Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Employee, the Employee’s Spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Code section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); or

(4) Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Employee from his principal residence, or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Employee’s principal residence; or

(5) Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Employee’s deceased parent, spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Code section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to section 152(d)(1)(B)); or

(6) Expenses for the repair of damage to the Employee’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).

The Employee shall be required to submit evidence satisfactory to the Plan Administrator (such as official third party documents) demonstrating the amount and nature of the need. Generally, expenses which were incurred more than 12 months prior to the date of the application for a financial hardship withdrawal, shall not be deemed to be an immediate and heavy financial need. The amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal.

(c) Other Financial Hardships. Financial hardship withdrawals shall be limited to the reasons specified in (b) above, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement. However, if the Adoption Agreement specifies adoption of the general rule for determining whether or not an Employee has an immediate and heavy financial need, then the Plan Administrator shall make a determination based on all relevant facts and circumstances. A financial need may be immediate and heavy even if it was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by the Employee. Generally, the expenses described in (b) above, and the expenses incurred because of any of the events described below would be considered to constitute an immediate and heavy financial need:

(1) A natural disaster;

(2) Death of a Spouse, a child, or a dependent;

(3) Divorce;

(4) Birth or adoption of a child;

(5) Loss of full-time employment by a Spouse;

(6) Expenses or loss of income incurred by reason of the Participant or the Participant’s Spouse who is a member of the military reserves of the United States, being called into active duty;

(7) An unpaid leave of absence by the Participant;

(8) Legal expenses incurred on behalf of the Employee, the Employee’s Spouse or children; or

(9) Payments to satisfy federal tax obligations that have not been timely paid.

(d) Other available resources. A withdrawal shall not be treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of an Employee to the extent the amount of the withdrawal is in excess of the amount required to relieve the financial need or to the extent such need may be satisfied from other resources that are reasonably available to the Employee. This determination generally is to be made on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. The Employee’s resources include those assets of an Employee’s Spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Employee. However, property held for the Employee’s child under an irrevocable trust or under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act shall not be treated as a resource of the Employee. The amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal. An immediate and heavy financial need generally may be treated as not capable of being relieved from other resources that are reasonably available to the Employee if the Plan Administrator relies upon the Employee’s written representation, unless the Employer or Plan Administrator has actual knowledge to the contrary, that the need cannot reasonably be relieved:

(1) Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

(2) By reasonable liquidation of the Employee’s assets;

(3) By cessation of Elective Deferrals under the Plan; or

(4) By other currently available distributions (including distribution of ESOP dividends under Code section 404(k)) and 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 in an amount sufficient to satisfy the need.

A need cannot be reasonably relieved by one of the actions listed above if the effect would be to increase the amount of the need. Notwithstanding (3) above, a Participant may, but shall not be required to suspend or cease his Elective Deferrals in the event the Employer relies upon such Participant’s written representation regarding the amount of withdrawal necessary to satisfy a financial need.

(e) Withdrawal deemed necessary to satisfy financial need. Instead of a determination of the amount necessary to satisfy the financial need being made under (d) above, the Employer may elect in the Adoption Agreement to deem a withdrawal necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of an Employee if all of the following requirements are satisfied:

(1) The withdrawal is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need of the Employee (the amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts

necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal);

(2) The Employee has obtained all other currently available distributions (including distribution of ESOP dividends under Code section 404(k), but not hardship withdrawals), and all nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Employer;

(3) If an Employee makes a hardship withdrawal from this Plan, or any other plan maintained by the Employer, the Employee’s Salary Deferral Agreement shall be revoked for the remainder of the Plan Year; and

(4) The Employer shall prohibit the Employee from making Elective Deferrals and Nondeductible Employee Contributions to the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Employer for 6 months after the receipt of the hardship withdrawal (however, this does not include any mandatory Employee contribution to a defined benefit plan, nor does it include an Employee’s contributions to a health or welfare benefit plan).

(f) Limitation on Amount Withdrawn. Financial hardship withdrawals shall be made only from Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions, and shall not be made from any income allocable to such Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions. Financial hardship withdrawals shall not be made from Qualified Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, or safe harbor matching and nonelective contributions intended to satisfy the nondiscrimination safe harbor provisions under Sections 3.08(b) and 3.03(d).
Financial hardship withdrawals shall not be made from Matching Contributions and/or Discretionary Contributions unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement.

(a) Xxxxxxx Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the following provisions will apply with respect to the Xxxxxxx Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005:

(A) A Qualified Hurricane Distribution will not be subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty under Code section 72(t) and will not be subject to mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding.

(B) A Qualified Hurricane Distribution may be repaid to the Plan at any time during the three year period beginning on the day after the date the distribution is made to the Eligible Participant.

(2) Eligible Participants for purposes of a Qualified Hurricane Distribution are as follows as elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement:

(A) Participants whose principal place of residence on August 28, 2005 was located within the Hurricane Xxxxxxx disaster area and who sustained an economic loss by reason

of Hurricane Xxxxxxx. For these participants, a Qualified Hurricane Distribution may be made at any time between August 25, 2005 and December 31, 2006.

(B) Participants whose principal place of residence on September 23, 2005 was located within the Xxxx GoZone disaster area and who sustained an economic loss by reason of Hurricane Xxxx. For these participants, a Qualified Hurricane Distribution may be made at any time between September 23, 2005 and December 31, 2006.

(C) Participants whose principal place of residence on October 23, 2005 was located within the Xxxxx GoZone disaster area and who sustained an economic loss by reason of Hurricane Xxxxx. For these participants, a Qualified Hurricane Distribution may be made at any time between October 23, 2005 and December 31, 2006.

(3) Any Participant in the Plan who received a Financial Hardship Withdrawal after February 28, 2005 and before August 29, 2005 for the purpose of buying or constructing their principal residence in a Hurricane Xxxxxxx disaster area, and such residence was not built or purchased due to Hurricane Xxxxxxx may repay such amount into the Plan. However, the repayment must be made by February 28, 2006.

(4) Any Participant in the Plan who received a Financial Hardship Withdrawal after February 28, 2005 and before September 24, 2005 for the purpose of buying or constructing their principal residence in a Hurricane Xxxx disaster area, and such residence was not built or purchased due to Hurricane Xxxx may repay such amount into the Plan. However, the repayment must be made by February 28, 2006.

(5) Any Participant in the Plan who received a Financial Hardship Withdrawal after February 28, 2005 and before October 24, 2005 for the purpose of buying or constructing their principal residence in a Hurricane Xxxxx disaster area, and such residence was not built or purchased due to Hurricane Xxxxx may repay such amount into the Plan. However, the repayment must be made by February 28, 2006.

(b) IRS Announcement 2005-70. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the following provisions will apply with respect to Financial Hardship Withdrawals as provided by Announcement 2005-70 issued by the Internal Revenue Service:

(1) The Employer may provide a Financial Hardship Withdrawal for a need arising from Hurricane Xxxxxxx, to an Employee or former Employee whose principal residence on August 29, 2005, was located in one of the counties or parishes in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama that have been or are later designated as disaster areas eligible for Individual Assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency because of the devastation caused by Hurricane Xxxxxxx or whose place of employment was located in one of these counties or parishes on such date or whose lineal ascendant or descendant, dependent or spouse had a principal residence or place of employment in one of these counties or parishes on such date.

(2) The amount available for a Financial Hardship Withdrawal is limited to the maximum amount that would be permitted to be available for a Financial Hardship Withdrawal under the Plan, under the Code, and Regulations. However, the relief provided by this announcement applies to any hardship of the Employee, not just the types enumerated in the Regulations, and no post-distribution contribution restrictions are required.

(3) To qualify for the relief under Announcement 2005-70, a Financial Hardship Withdrawal must be made on account of a hardship resulting from Hurricane Xxxxxxx and be made on or

after August 29, 2005, and no later than March 31, 2006.

(4) The Plan will not be treated as failing to follow procedural requirements for Plan distributions imposed by the terms of the Plan, merely because such requirements are disregarded for any period beginning on or after August 29, 2005, and continuing through March 31, 2006, with respect to distributions to individuals described in subparagraph (1) above, provided the Employer makes a good-faith effort under the circumstances to comply with such requirements. However, as soon as practical, the Employer must make a reasonable attempt to assemble any foregone documentation. For example, if spousal consent is required for a distribution and the Plan requires production of a death certificate if the Employee claims his or her spouse is deceased, the Plan will not be disqualified for failure to operate in accordance with its terms if it makes a distribution to an individual described in subparagraph (1) above in the absence of a death certificate if it is reasonable to believe, under the circumstances, that the spouse is deceased, the distribution is made no later than March 31, 2006, and the Employer makes reasonable efforts to obtain the death certificate as soon as practical.

7.13. Attainment of Age 59-1/2. If authorized in the Adoption Agreement, as of the date that a Participant attains the age of 59 1/2, the Participant may withdraw all or any part of his Vested Balance.

7.14. Other Withdrawals.

(a)(1) Nondeductible Employee Account. Unless prohibited in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may, by written notice to the Plan Administrator, withdraw from his Nondeductible Employee Account a sum not greater than the amount of his prior Nondeductible Employee Contributions (less any amount previously disbursed); plus any income allocable thereto.

(a)(2) Rollover Account. Unless prohibited in the Adoption Agreement, an Employee or Participant may, by written notice to the Plan Administrator, withdraw a portion or all of his Unrelated Rollover Account (less any amount previously disbursed) at any time.

(a)(3) Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Account. Unless prohibited in the Adoption Agreement, an Employee or Participant may, by written notice to the Plan Administrator, withdraw a portion or all of his Xxxx 401(k) Rollover Account (less any amount previously disbursed) at any time.

(b) Restrictions on Certain Contributions. A Participant may not make withdrawals from his Salary Deferral Account, Salary Deferral Catch-up Contribution Account, Xxxx 401(k) Contribution Account, Xxxx 401(k) Catch-up Contribution Account, Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account or Qualified Matching Contributions Account prior to the earlier of:

(1) his Severance from Employment, total and permanent Disability, or death;

(2) his attainment of age 59 1/2;

(3) proven financial hardship, subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator (however, in no event shall Qualified Matching Contributions and/or Qualified Nonelective Contributions be withdrawn on account of financial hardship); or

(4) termination of the Plan without establishment or maintenance of an alternative defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code section 4975(e)(7) or 409(a), a simplified employee pension as defined in Code section 408(k), a

SIMPLE XXX plan as defined in Code section 408(p), a plan or contract that satisfies the requirements of Code section 403(b), or a plan that is described in Code section 457 (b) or (f)).

With respect to clause (4) above, the Participants shall receive a lump sum distribution (as defined by Code section 402(e)(4)(D) without regard to Code sections 402(e)(4)(D)(i)(I), (II), (III), and (IV)) by reason of such event.

(c) Matching and Discretionary Accounts. A Participant may not make withdrawals from his Employer Matching Account or Employer Discretionary Account as set forth in paragraph (b) above, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement.

(d) Qualified Reservist Distributions. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may, by written notice to the Plan Administrator, withdraw amounts from his Elective Deferral Account as a “Qualified Reservist Distribution” pursuant to Code section 72(t)(2)(G).

(e) Permissible Withdrawals From An Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement.

(1) In General. If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement that this Section 7.14(e) regarding permissible withdrawals applies to the Plan, a Participant may make an election to withdraw the applicable automatic elective contributions (and any earnings or losses attributable thereto) made pursuant to the Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement (“EACA”) from his Salary Deferral Account (or from his Xxxx 401(k) Contributions Account, if applicable) in accordance with Code section 414(w) and any Regulations issued thereunder.

(2) Timing. The election to withdraw automatic elective contributions must be made no later than 90 days after the date of the first automatic elective contribution made to the Participant’s Account under the EACA. The date of the first automatic elective contribution is the date that the Compensation that is subject to the cash or deferred election would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.

(3) Amount of Distributions. A distribution satisfies the requirements of this Plan Section 7.14(e) if the distribution is equal to the amount of automatic elective contributions made under the EACA through the effective date of the election (adjusted for allocable gains and losses to the date of distribution).

(4) Consequences of the Withdrawal. Any Matching Contributions made on these withdrawn elective contribution amounts shall be forfeited. Any amounts withdrawn or forfeited under this Section 7.14(e) shall not be considered in calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage (ADP) or Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) nondiscrimination tests under Plan Sections 3.03 and 3.08 herein. Any withdrawals made pursuant to this Section 7.14(e) shall not be eligible for rollover.

(6) If notice of the denial of a claim is not furnished to the claimant in accordance with the above within 90 days (unless circumstances beyond the Plan Administrator’s control cause a lengthier period before a determination of the validity of a claim can be made), the claim shall be deemed denied. The claimant shall then be permitted to proceed to the review stage described in paragraph (b) below.

(7) With respect to a Disability claim which is determined by the Plan Administrator, if notice of the denial of a claim is not furnished to the claimant in accordance with (1) through (5) above, within 45 days, (unless circumstances beyond the Plan Administrator’s control cause a lengthier period before a determination of the validity of a claim can be made), the claim shall be deemed denied. The claimant shall then be permitted to proceed to the review stage described in paragraph (c) below. The 45-day time limit shall not be extended, except where there are special circumstances that require such an extension, and a written description of those circumstances is sent to the claimant within the 45-day period. If the Plan Administrator requires an extension, the extension shall not exceed 30 days, unless during the course of the 30-day extension, the Plan Administrator determines, due to special circumstances beyond its control, that an additional 30-day extension is necessary. If, in the notice of extension, the Plan Administrator requests additional information from the claimant, the claimant shall have 45 days from the date of receipt of the notice to provide such additional information. If there is an extension, or two extensions, a decision shall be made as soon as practicable, but not later than 105 days after the receipt by the Plan Administrator of the written request for the claim to be reviewed.

(6) The review shall not defer to the initial denial and shall not be conducted by the individual who made the initial determination, nor by the subordinate of such individual.

(7) The Plan Administrator shall advise the claimant in writing of its decision within 45 days after the Plan Administrator received the written request for a review of the claim. The 45-day time limit shall not be extended, except where there are special circumstances that require such an extension, and a written description of those circumstances is sent to the claimant within the 45-day period.

If there is an extension, a decision shall be made as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the receipt by the Plan Administrator of the written request for the claim to be reviewed.

(d) Content of a denial upon review. All reviews of denials of Disability claims for Plan benefits shall be subject to a full and fair review. Upon review, if the Plan Administrator fully or partially denies any claim for benefits under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall set forth in writing in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant or any other person claiming benefits, the following information:

(1) the specific reason for the adverse determination;

(2) the specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the determination is based;

(3) a statement that the claimant may review all pertinent documents relevant to the denial of the claim at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other locations, if any, so specified by the Plan Administrator and that upon written request, the claimant may obtain copies of all pertinent documents relating to the denial of the claim, free of charge;

7.16. Disputed Benefits. If any dispute shall arise between a Participant or other person claiming benefits under the Plan, and the Plan Administrator, after the review of the claim for benefits, or in the event of any dispute as to the person to whom the payment of any benefit under the Plan shall be made, the Trustee may withhold payment of all or any part of the benefits payable hereunder to the Participant or other person claiming under the Participant until such dispute has been resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by the parties involved.

7.17. Disputed Claims. The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to review and settle all claims against the Plan, including claims where the settlement amount cannot be calculated under the Plan’s benefit formula. This authority permits the Plan Administrator to settle, in a compromised fashion, disputed claims for benefits and any other disputed claims made against the Plan.

7.18. Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

(a) In general. All rights and benefits, including elections, provided to a Participant in this Plan shall be subject to the rights afforded to any alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The Plan Administrator is authorized to and shall establish written procedures to effectuate the requirements for administering Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

(b) Withdrawal provisions. No withdrawal may be made under this Plan by a Participant during the period in which the Plan Administrator is making a determination of whether a domestic relations order affecting the Participant’s Account is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Further, if the Plan Administrator is aware that a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being sought with respect to a Participant’s benefit, the Plan Administrator may restrict the Participant’s ability to obtain any withdrawal otherwise available under the Plan until the Plan Administrator has determined that such withdrawal would not be inconsistent with any such order or that no such order shall be submitted. If the Plan Administrator is in receipt of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order with respect to any Participant’s benefit, it may prohibit that Participant from obtaining a withdrawal until the alternate payee’s rights under such order are satisfied.

(c) Distribution provisions. No distribution may be made to a Participant during the period in which the Plan Administrator is making a determination of whether a domestic relations order affecting the Participant’s benefit is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Further, if the Plan Administrator is aware that a Qualified Domestic Relations Order affecting a Participant’s benefit is being sought, it may prohibit such Participant from commencing to receive a distribution until the Plan Administrator has determined that such distribution would not be inconsistent with any such order or that no such order shall be submitted. If the Plan Administrator is in receipt of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order with respect to any Participant’s benefit, it may prohibit such Participant from receiving a distribution until the alternate payee’s rights under such order are satisfied.

(d) Beneficiary Designation. Unless specifically stated otherwise in a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, in the event of a final divorce decree, any prior beneficiary designation of the ex-spouse by a Participant shall be null and void.

(e) Other restrictions. If the Plan Administrator is in receipt of a domestic relations order, or the Plan Administrator is otherwise aware that a Qualified Domestic Relations Order affecting a Participant’s Account is being sought, the Plan Administrator may take such actions as necessary (including, without limitation, restricting the Participant’s ability to withdraw, borrow, or direct the

investment of funds in his or her Account) in order to administer the Plan consistently with the terms of any such Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

(f) Payment commencement date. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event that a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is received by the Plan Administrator, benefits shall be payable in accordance with such order and with Code section 414(p) and ERISA section 206(d). Payments may be made prior to the Participant’s “earliest retirement age” (as defined in Code section 414(p) and ERISA section 206(d)), and are not subject to any other distribution or withdrawal restrictions provided in this Plan. The amount payable to the Participant and to any other person other than the alternate payee named in the order shall be adjusted accordingly.

Pursuant to section 1.411(a)-11(c)(6) of the Regulations, and notwithstanding the provisions of Article VII, to the contrary, distributions to an alternate payee under the Plan shall not require the consent of the alternate payee, except as shall be provided for in the Qualified Domestic Relations Order applicable to such alternate payee. Any amounts held for the benefit of an alternate payee under the Plan shall be immediately distributable, without the consent of the alternate payee, after the Plan Administrator has determined that an order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, pursuant to the Plan’s written administrative procedures for administering Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

(g) Alternate payee’s death. In the absence of a Beneficiary designation for the alternate payee in the Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the alternate payee shall be treated as a single Participant under the Plan and the alternate payee’s interest shall pass to his or her estate or other individuals, in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(h) Miscellaneous. If this Plan is a Participant-Directed Plan as provided under Article X, upon the Plan’s receipt of a domestic relations order affecting a Participant’s Accounts, the Participant shall continue to direct the investments in his or her Accounts. Upon approval of the domestic relations order as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the alternate payee of such accounts shall be entitled to direct the investment of his or her own separate interest, unless the Qualified Domestic Relations Order provides otherwise. If the alternate payee declines or otherwise fails to direct the investments of his or her own separate interest in the Participant’s Accounts, such separate interest shall be invested in the same manner as any other portion of the Participant’s Account as of the split date. Tax basis in Nondeductible Employee Contributions shall be allocated on a pro rata basis, based on the ratio of the alternate payee’s benefit to the Participant’s total benefit (including the portion of his or her benefit assigned to the alternate payee). Alternate payees shall not be entitled to borrow money under the Plan’s loan provisions.

7.19. Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) Spouse is Beneficiary. The Beneficiary of any Death Benefit payable under the Plan shall be the Participant’s Spouse. Except, however, the Participant may designate a Beneficiary other than his Spouse if:

(1) the Spouse has waived his or her right to be the Participant’s Beneficiary;

(2) the Participant has no Spouse; or

(3) the Spouse cannot be located.

Notwithstanding the preceding, and pursuant to section 1.401(a)-20, Q&A-27 of the Regulations, if it is established to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that a Spouse is legally incompetent (as determined by applicable state law) to give consent, the Spouse’s legal guardian (as appointed or

recognized under applicable state law), even if the guardian is the Participant, may give the applicable consent.

(b) Beneficiary designation. The designation of a Beneficiary shall be made on a form satisfactory to the Plan Administrator. A Participant may at any time revoke his designation of a Beneficiary or change his Beneficiary by filing written notice of such revocation or change with the Plan Administrator. However, the Participant’s Spouse must again consent in writing to any such change or revocation unless the Spouse’s consent expressly permits designation by the Participant without further consent by the Spouse. In the event no valid designation of Beneficiary exists at the time of the Participant’s death, the death benefit shall be payable to his Spouse if living, and, if not, to his estate. Any written consent by a Spouse of a change of Beneficiary shall be consented to in writing, and such written consent shall designate a Beneficiary which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the consent of the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the Spouse), and the Spouse’s consent shall acknowledge the effect of such election and shall be witnessed by a notary public. A party’s attorney-in-fact shall be permitted to change the Beneficiary if and only if the power of attorney includes the specific authority to make changes in the grantor’s beneficial designations under employee benefit plans, and provided also that all other requirements, including, if applicable, Spousal consent, have been satisfied.

The preceding notwithstanding, Spousal consent to a Participant’s election to waive death benefits is not required if, pursuant to section 1.401(a)-20, Q&A-12(b) of the Regulations, it is established to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that the Spouse is legally incompetent to give consent. Where such Spouse is not legally competent to give consent, the Spouse’s legal guardian, even if the legal guardian is the Participant, may give the appropriate consent. For purposes of this Section, legal guardianship and legal competency shall be determined by the laws of the state having jurisdiction.

(c) Alternate payee. An individual who is designated as an alternate payee in a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (as defined in Code section 414(p) and ERISA section 206(d)) relating to a Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be treated as a Beneficiary hereunder, to the extent provided by such order.

7.20. Location of Beneficiary or Participant Unknown. In the event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a Participant or his Beneficiary hereunder shall, at the Participant’s attainment of his Normal Retirement Age, remain unpaid solely by reason of the inability of the Plan Administrator to locate such Participant or his Beneficiary, after sending a certified or registered letter, return receipt requested to the last known address, then the Plan Administrator may attempt to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or Beneficiary, through programs established by the Social Security Administration or the Internal Revenue Service. However, if such efforts should fail to locate such Participant or Beneficiary, then the remaining amount distributable with respect to such Participant or his Beneficiary may be reallocated in the same manner as a Forfeiture, if so directed by the Plan Administrator. In the event a Participant or Beneficiary is located subsequent to his benefit being reallocated, and such person claims such reallocated benefit, such benefit shall be restored out of current year Forfeitures, unadjusted for gains or losses. The preceding notwithstanding, if an Employee has terminated Service with the Employer and the value of such Employee’s vested Account is not greater than $5,000, the Employee’s Vested Balance shall be distributable to such Employee immediately upon his date of termination, and the nonvested portion shall become immediately forfeitable. If the Plan Administrator is not able to locate an Employee described in the preceding sentence, after such Participant has incurred a one-year Break-in-Service, the vested portion may be treated as a Forfeiture, subject to reinstatement in the manner described in this Section 7.20.

In the event that the Plan is terminated, the benefits maintained in an account under the Plan, on the date of such termination, for the benefit of a Participant, Beneficiary, or Alternate Payee who cannot be located, shall

be maintained outside the Plan. Any such benefits may be maintained by the purchase of an annuity, the establishment of an individual retirement arrangement (as described in Code sections 408(a) or (b)), or by some other method or methods which meet applicable Department of Labor requirements. The Plan Administrator shall have the sole discretion in determining which method or manner, or combination thereof, from among the preceding, shall be utilized for the purpose of maintaining such benefits. The duty of the Named Fiduciaries (as defined in Section 14.01) hereunder, to maintain any such benefits under the Plan, shall be extinguished upon the placement of such benefits outside the Plan in the manner described in this paragraph.

7.21. Distribution for Minor Beneficiary. In the event a distribution is to be made to a minor, then the Administrator may direct that such distribution be paid to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of such Beneficiary or a responsible adult with whom the Beneficiary maintains his residence, or to the custodian for such Beneficiary under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act or Gift to Minors Act if such is permitted by the laws of the state in which the Beneficiary resides. Such a payment to the legal guardian, custodian or parent of a minor Beneficiary shall fully discharge the Trustee, Employer, and Plan from further liability on account thereof.

7.22. Rollover Distributions.

(a) Direct Rollovers. The provisions of this Section shall apply to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee’s election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by a Distributee in a Direct Rollover.

(b) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this Section 7.22.

(1) Direct Rollover means a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by a Distributee.

(2) Distributee means any of the following: an Employee; a former Employee; an Employee’s or former Employee’s Spouse; an Employee’s or former Employee’s Surviving Spouse; an Employee’s or 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 regard to the interest of such Spouse or former Spouse.

(3) Eligible Retirement Plan means, with respect to a Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution, (i) an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a), (ii) an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract), (iii) an annuity plan described in Code section 403(a), (iv) an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b), (v) 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, (vi) a qualified plan described in Code section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under Code section 501(a), or (vii) effective January 1, 2008, a Xxxx individual retirement account as described in Code section 408A, made in accordance with Code section 408A(e) and subject to the restrictions of Code section 408A(c)(3)(B) for tax years prior to January 1, 2010.

(4) Eligible Rollover Distribution means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of a Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include:

(i) 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 a Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of a Distributee and the Distributee’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more;

(ii) any distribution to the extent required under Code section 401(a)(9);

(iii) any distribution which is made upon hardship of the Participant;

(iv) to the extent applicable, corrective distributions of (i) Excess Deferrals, including any income allocable to such corrective distributions, (ii) Excess Contributions, including any income allocable to such corrective distributions, and (iii) Excess Aggregate Contributions, including any income allocable to such corrective distributions;

(v) to the extent applicable, loans that are treated as deemed distributions; and

(vi) to the extent applicable, and effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, a distribution that is a permissible withdrawal from an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement within the meaning of Code section 414(w).

A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of Nondeductible Employee Contributions or other nontaxable amounts that are not includible in gross income. However, such portion must be transferred (1) in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to a qualified trust or to an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b), and such trust or contract provides for separate accounting for amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), 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, or (2) to an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b) (other than an endowment contract).

(c) Xxxx 401(k) Account. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 7.22 to the contrary, a direct rollover from a Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Account shall only be made to another designated Xxxx elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code section 402A(e)(1) or to a Xxxx XXX described in Code section 408A. In accordance with Code section 402(c)(2), to the extent that a portion of a distribution from a Participant’s Xxxx 401(k) Account is not includible in income (determined without regard to the rollover), if that portion of the distribution is to be rolled over into a designated Xxxx account, the rollover must be accomplished through a direct rollover as described in Regulation section 1.402A-1 Q&A-5.

ARTICLE VIII. TOP HEAVY PLAN.

8.01. Definitions. If the Plan is or becomes Top-Heavy in any Plan Year, the provisions of this Article shall supersede any conflicting provisions in the Plan or Adoption Agreement.

(a) Determination Date means, with respect to any Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year, or, in the case of the first Plan Year, the last day of such Plan Year.

(b) Permissive Aggregation Group means that group of plans in a Required Aggregation Group, together with any plan or plans of the Employer not required to be included in the Required Aggregation Group, provided the resulting group, taken as a whole, would continue to satisfy the provisions of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410.

(c) Present Value of Accrued Benefits means the present discounted value of all Participants’ accrued benefits under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer, discounted using the interest and mortality rates specified in the Adoption Agreement, if applicable.

(d) Required Aggregation Group means that group of plans composed of each:

(1) plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates or participated at any time during the Determination Period or any of the four preceding Plan Years (regardless of whether the plan is terminated), and

(2) any other qualified plan of the Employer which enables any plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of Code section 401(a)(4) or 410.

(e) Top-Heavy Plan Year means a Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan.

(f) Top-Heavy Ratio means the following:

(1) If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan which during the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date has or has had accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan alone or for the Required Aggregation Group or the Permissive Aggregation Group (whichever is applicable) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Total Balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date (including any part of any Account balance distributed in the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date, but excluding any Account balance due to unrelated Rollovers, and/or Plan-to-Plan Transfers), and the denominator of which is the sum of all Total Balances (including any part of any Account balance distributed in the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date, provided that with respect to death benefits, the amount used for Top-Heavy testing is the amount determined as above immediately prior to a Participant’s death, including the cash value of life insurance policies, if any), both computed in accordance with Code section 416 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than Severance from Employment, death, or Disability, these provisions shall be applied by substituting “five-year (5) period” for “one-year (1) period.” Both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted to reflect any contribution which is due but unpaid as of the Determination Date, but which is required to

be taken into account on that date under Code section 416 or the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(2) If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which during the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date has or has had any accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group (whichever is applicable) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of Total Account Balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees determined in accordance with subsection (1) above (including any part of any Account balance distributed in the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date, but excluding any Account balance due to unrelated Rollovers and/or Plan-to-Plan Transfers), and the Present Value of Accrued Benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date, and the denominator of which is the sum of the Total Balances under the aggregated defined contribution plans for all Participants (including any part of any Account Balance distributed in the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date, but excluding any Account Balance due to unrelated Rollovers and/or Plan-to-Plan Transfers), and the Present Value of Accrued Benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all Participants as of the Determination Date, all determined in accordance with Code section 416 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio shall include any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than Severance from Employment, death, or Disability, these provisions shall be applied by substituting “five-year (5) period” for “one-year (1) period.”

(3) For purposes of subsections (1) and (2) above, the values used for determining the Top-Heavy Ratio shall be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date except as provided in Code section 416 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder for the first and second years of a defined benefit plan. The Account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant (A) who is not a Key Employee, but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (B) who has not been credited with at least one (1) Hour of Service with any Employer maintaining this Plan at any time during the one-year (1) period ending on the Determination Date shall be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account shall be made in accordance with Code section 416 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Any amount attributable to accumulated deductible Employee contributions (as defined in Code section 72(o)(5)(A)) shall be disregarded for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans, the value of Account balances and accrued benefits shall be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.

The accrued benefit of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (A) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (B) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code section 411(b)(1)(C).

8.02. Determination of Top-Heavy Status. Top-Heavy Status. This Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year if any of the following conditions exists:

	(a)		this Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group of plans and the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds 60%;

	(b)		this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of Plans but not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group, and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Required Aggregation Group of plans exceeds 60%; or

	(c)		this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group and part of a Permissive Aggregation Group of plans, and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60%.

8.03. Special Vesting Requirements. For any Top-Heavy Plan Year, the vesting schedule shall provide for 100% vesting after three (3) Years of Service unless the vesting schedule in the Adoption Agreement provides for vesting on a schedule which is at least as rapid as required for Top-Heavy plans under Code section 416(b). The minimum vesting schedule applies to all benefits within the meaning of Code section 411(a)(7) except those attributable to Participant contributions (which shall be 100% vested at all times), including benefits accrued before the effective date of Code section 416 and benefits accrued before the Plan became a Top-Heavy Plan. Further, no reduction in vested benefits may occur in the event the Plan’s status as a Top-Heavy Plan changes for any Plan Year. However, this Section does not apply to the Employer Account balance of any Employee who does not have one Hour of Service after the Plan has initially become a Top-Heavy Plan; such Employee’s vested percentage in his Employer Account shall be determined without regard to this Section.

8.04. Special Minimum Allocation Requirements.

(a) In general. For any Top-Heavy Plan Year, except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) below, for purposes of the minimum Top-Heavy allocation, the Employer Contributions and Forfeitures allocated on behalf of any Participant who is not a Key Employee shall not be less than the lesser of three percent (3%) of such Participant’s 414(q) Compensation or (in the case where the Employer has no defined benefit plan which designates this Plan to satisfy Code section 401) the largest percentage of Employer Contributions and Forfeitures, as a percentage of the lesser of a Key Employee’s 414(q) Compensation, or Annual Limitation (adjusted pursuant to Code section 401(a)(17)), allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for such year.

The minimum allocation shall be determined without regard to any Social Security contributions. The minimum allocation required (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under Section 8.03 and Code section 416(b)) shall not be forfeited under Code section 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D). This minimum allocation shall be made even though, under other Plan provisions, a Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation for the year because of:

(1) a Participant’s failure to complete a specified number of Hours of Service (if any, as set forth in the Adoption Agreement); or

(2) a Participant’s failure to make or authorize any Elective Deferrals; or

(3) Compensation less than a stated amount.

A minimum Top-Heavy allocation, made on behalf of a Non-Key Employee shall be allocated to a Non-Key Participant’s Salary Deferral Account and Xxxx 401(k) Account for each Plan Year in which

the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan. Salary Deferral Contributions, Xxxx 401(k) Contributions, Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions (and any other Employer Contributions) to the Plan shall be combined to determine the largest contribution made or required to be made for Key Employees.

The preceding provisions of this Section 8.04 shall not apply to this Plan if, pursuant to the Adoption Agreement, this Plan enables a qualified defined benefit plan in the Required Aggregation Group of the Employer to meet the requirements of Code section 401(a)(4) or Code section 410.

(b) Special Rules.

	(1)		In determining a Non-Key Employee’s required minimum allocation, such a Non-Key Employee’s Salary Deferral Contributions and Xxxx 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year shall not be taken into account.

	(2)		The provisions in subsection (a) above shall not apply to any Participant who was not employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year (unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement).

	(3)		The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to any Participant to the extent such Participant is covered under any other qualified plan or plans (including another plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Code section 401(k)(12) and Matching Contributions with respect to which the requirements of Code section 401(m)(11) are met) of the Employer and the Employer has provided in the Adoption Agreement that the minimum allocation or benefit requirement applicable to Top-Heavy Plans shall be met in such other plan or plans.

	(4)		Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code section 416(c)(2) and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as Matching Contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Code section 401(m).

8.05. Change from Top-Heavy Plan to Non Top-Heavy Plan. In the event that the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, such change shall be treated as a Plan amendment which affects the vesting schedule. In the event that the Plan, thereafter, ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, the effect of again following the regular vesting schedule(s) (as specified in the Adoption Agreement) shall be treated as a Plan amendment which affects the vesting schedule, and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 6.04.

8.06 Safe Harbor Contribution Plan. The Top-Heavy requirements of Code section 416 and Sections 8.01 through 8.06 shall not apply in any year in which the Plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Code section 401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) and Matching Contributions with respect to which the requirements of Code section 401(m)(12) are met.

ARTICLE IX. PLAN ADMINISTRATOR.

9.01. Plan Administrator. The Plan Sponsor, as identified in the Adoption Agreement, shall be the Plan Administrator, unless the Plan Sponsor, by action of its governing body, appoints one or more individuals, or another company, as Plan Administrator. Any person, including, but not limited to, the Employees of the Plan Sponsor, shall be eligible to serve as the Plan Administrator. Any person or company so appointed shall signify his acceptance by filing written acceptance with the Plan Sponsor. A Plan Administrator may resign by delivering his written resignation to the Plan Sponsor or be removed by the Plan Sponsor by delivery, to the Plan Administrator, of written notice of removal. Such removal shall take effect on the date specified in the written notice, or, if no date is so specified, upon delivery to the Plan Administrator. Upon the resignation or removal of a Plan Administrator, the Plan Sponsor shall promptly designate in writing a successor to this position. If the Plan Sponsor does not appoint a successor Plan Administrator, the Plan Sponsor shall function as the Plan Administrator.

If the Plan Sponsor serves as Plan Administrator, the Plan Sponsor may, by action of its governing body, appoint a committee consisting of more than one (1) person (hereinafter referred to as the “Committee”) who shall assist the Plan Administrator in the administration of the Plan. All actions taken by the Committee shall be deemed actions taken by the Plan Administrator, and the Plan Administrator shall have Fiduciary responsibility in connection with such actions, except with respect to willful misconduct or gross negligence. All usual and reasonable expenses of the Committee may be paid in whole or in part by the Plan Administrator, and expenses not paid by the Plan Administrator shall be paid by the Trustee out of the principal or income of the Trust. The members of the Committee shall not receive compensation with respect to their services for the Committee. The Committee shall have such powers as may be necessary to discharge its duties, including all powers set forth in Section 9.03(b). A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. No action shall be taken except upon a majority vote of the Committee members. An individual shall not vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself or vote in any case in which his individual rights or claim to any benefit under the Plan is particularly involved. If, in any case in which a Committee member is so disqualified to act, and the remaining members cannot agree, the governing body of the Plan Sponsor shall appoint a temporary substitute member to exercise all the powers of the disqualified member concerning the matter relating to such disqualification.

9.02. Signatures. The Plan Administrator shall designate the person or persons who shall be authorized to sign for the Plan Administrator.

9.03. General Powers and Authority of Plan Administrator.

(a) Plan Administrator is a Fiduciary. The Plan Administrator shall be a Named Fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 4.02(a)(2) of ERISA) of the Plan.

(b) Powers of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan according to its terms and provisions, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish these purposes, including, but not limited to, the sole and absolute discretion:

(J) impose any other limit and/or restriction, that the Plan Administrator deems appropriate; provided notice of such rules, policies and procedures are delivered to the Trustee and to the recordkeeper in order to be effective;

(3) to construe, within its sole discretion, all terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of the Plan (provided that, in all cases the construction which shall be required and which shall control shall permit the Plan to comply with ERISA or qualify under Code section 401);

(4) to correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency that may appear in this Plan, in such manner and to such extent as it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect for the greatest benefit of all interested parties;

(11) to determine the proper voting of proxy materials, except with respect to Employer Securities (as defined in Section 10.04(a)), related to the Investment Options (as defined in Section 10.02) or to appoint a committee to handle the same. Generally, a proxy will be voted to support the management proposals, however, proposals which could be detrimental to the interests of the Plan and the Participants will be voted against;

(12) to delegate to one or more officers of the Employer, or, if there is a Committee, to one or more members of the Committee, the right to act on behalf of the Plan Administrator in all matters connected with the administration of the Plan and Trust;

(13) to delegate to one or more individuals such of the above powers and duties as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate;

(14) to establish reasonable contingency plans in the event there is a failure of the written rules, regulations and by-laws for the administration of the Plan due to any technical issues; and

(15) to interpret “written,” including any derivative of that term, in accordance with statutory and regulatory provisions which impact electronic transmissions and retention of information and documentation.

9.04. Uniform Administration. Whenever, in the administration of the Plan, any action is taken by the Plan Administrator, such action shall be uniform in nature as applied to all persons similarly situated and no such action shall be taken which shall discriminate in favor of Participants who are officers, shareholders, or are Highly Compensated Participants.

9.05. Finality of Decision. The decision of the Plan Administrator in matters within its jurisdiction involving the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Employer and upon each Employee, Participant, Beneficiary, alternate payee and every other person or party. The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary authority to construe the terms of the Plan, and the exclusive discretionary authority to determine eligibility for all benefits hereunder. Any such determination and/or interpretation, of the Plan, adopted by the Plan Administrator shall be final and conclusive and shall bind all parties.

9.06. Self Interest of Participant. No agent or representative of the Plan Administrator shall have any right to vote or decide upon any matter relating solely to himself, or to any of his rights, or benefits under the Plan.

9.07. Plan Records. The Plan Administrator shall keep appropriate records of its acts and determinations in the administration of the Plan, and shall make such records as they pertain to any Participant or Beneficiary available for examination by such Participant, Beneficiary, or alternate payee during normal business hours.

9.08. Bonding and Liability of Plan Administrator. A bond or other security shall be required of any individual empowered to act on behalf of the Plan Administrator to the extent required by ERISA. The Employer shall indemnify and save such individuals, and hold each of them harmless from the effects and consequences of their acts, their omissions and conduct in their official capacity, except to the extent that such effects and consequences shall result from their own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

9.09. Reporting and Disclosure. The Plan Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the appropriate offices of the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor all reports, returns, notices and other information required under ERISA, the Code, or applicable Regulations and shall provide the Participants and

their Beneficiaries, and any alternate payees with such information as may be required by ERISA, the Code, or any applicable Regulations.

9.10. Power and Responsibilities of the Employer and Plan Sponsor.

(a) Duties. The Employer shall supply all such information to the Plan Administrator and the Trustee as is necessary for each to fulfill its duties hereunder.

(b) Power to appoint Trustee and Plan Administrator. The Plan Sponsor shall be empowered to appoint and remove the Trustee, Additional Trustees, Successor Trustees, Joint Trustees, Co-Trustees and/or the Plan Administrator from time to time as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

(c) Funding policy method. The Plan Sponsor shall establish a “funding policy and method,” i.e., it shall determine whether the Plan has a short term need for liquidity (e.g., to pay benefits) or whether liquidity is a long term goal and investment growth (and stability of the same) is a more current need, or may appoint a qualified party to do so. The Plan Sponsor or its delegate shall communicate such needs and goals to the Trustee, who shall coordinate such Plan needs with its investment policy. The communication of such a “funding policy and method” shall not, however, constitute a directive to the Trustee as to investment of the Trust Funds. Such funding policy and method shall be consistent with the objectives of this Plan and with the requirements of Title I of ERISA.

(d) Service of legal process. The Plan Sponsor shall serve as agent for the service of legal process at its principal office.

(e) Performance reviews. The Plan Sponsor shall periodically review the performance of any Fiduciary or other person to whom duties have been delegated or allocated by it under the provisions of this Plan or pursuant to procedures established hereunder. This requirement may be satisfied by formal periodic review by the Plan Sponsor or by a qualified party specifically designated by the Employer, through day-to-day contact and evaluation, or through other appropriate means.

9.11. Payment of Expenses. All expenses of administration not paid by the Employer or charged to the Participant shall be paid out of the Trust Fund to the extent that such expenses (as non-settlor functions) are permitted, by the Department of Labor, to be paid in such manner. Such expenses shall include any reasonable expenses incident to the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, reasonable fees of retirement plan and investment professionals, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisers and other specialists and their agents, and other costs of administering the Plan, including, but not limited to, fees associated with any investment option or with activities related to Participants and their Accounts (e.g., processing loans, hardship withdrawals, or investment direction). Until paid, the expenses shall constitute a liability of the Trust Fund. However, the Employer may reimburse the Trust Fund for any administration expenses incurred. Any administration expenses paid to the Trust Fund as a reimbursement shall not be considered an Employer contribution.

ARTICLE X. PARTICIPANT DIRECTION OF INVESTMENTS.

10.01. Investment Options. Except as otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement and this Article X, each Participant shall be empowered to direct the investment of his monies in all his Accounts among the Investment Options made available under the Plan. The Plan Sponsor, with the consent of the Trustee, shall select these options from time to time in its sole discretion. Such options shall be referred to herein as Investment Options. At any time, the Trustee or Employer may, at their sole discretion, close any option to future purchases. Investment Options may have different investment objectives and varying degrees of risk and potential for appreciation. Such Investment Options may include, without limitation, shares of registered investment companies, pooled separate accounts of life insurance companies, single or commingled trust offered by a bank, group annuity contracts with life insurance companies, employer securities, limited partnerships, and certificates of deposit, or any combination thereof. The Employer shall provide such investment information as shall be necessary to comply with the Regulations issued pursuant to ERISA section 404(c).

10.02. Participant-Directed Investment Account. Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, each Participant shall be empowered to direct the investment of his monies in all his Accounts among the Investment Options made available under the Plan. In this regard, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan shall be intended to be an ERISA section 404(c) plan and, thereby, the Plan Fiduciaries may be relieved of liability for losses which may occur as a result of Participants’ investment direction. Notwithstanding the general and specific powers granted the Trustee under the Trust, the Trustee shall invest all or a portion of the Participants’ Accounts in the amounts and manner set forth in this Article, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement. The transfers of monies between Investment Options shall be invested at the direction of the Plan Administrator. The Employer intends to provide such investment information as shall be necessary to comply with the Regulations issued pursuant to ERISA section 404(c).

10.03. Investment Direction.

(a) Investment election. A Participant who has established any Account within the Plan shall, by filing a written direction with the Plan Administrator, specify the percentage of his Accounts which are to be invested in each of the Investment Options described in Section 10.02. The Plan Administrator may limit the percentage alternatives available in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner. In addition, the Plan Administrator reserves the right to: (1) establish any rules, policies and/or procedures as it deems appropriate; (2) limit or restrict the ability of Participants to make or change investment instructions; (3) decline to implement any investment instructions; and (4) exercise any additional powers identified in Section 9.03. Any investment direction given by a Participant shall be deemed to be a continuing direction until changed.

(b) Absence of affirmative direction. If a Participant fails to provide the Plan with an investment direction, the Plan Administrator will direct the investment of the Participant’s account, until such time as the Participant provides his or her first affirmative direction. Accounts for Participants who do not affirmatively select their investment options will be invested in the default investment fund designated by the Plan Administrator from time to time consistent with the requirements of ERISA. Such monies will continue to be invested in such default until and unless the Plan Administrator decides to change this decision for all Participants who have not provided investment directions or until the Plan Administrator determines that a different investment selection is appropriate for a Participant. In making these decisions, the Plan Administrator is not responsible for inquiring into the specific goals or needs of a Participant.

(c) Change of investment election. As of the beginning of the Plan Year, and at least quarterly

thereafter (unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement), and at any other time so designated by the Plan Administrator, a Participant may, by a writing filed with the Plan Administrator, establish new investment directions. The Plan Administrator may establish such rules, policies and/or procedures as it deems necessary to manage the transfer among the Investment Options.

(d) Transfers between options. Participants shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to give investment instructions in writing to the Plan Administrator, who shall comply with such instructions, unless such instructions: (1) conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Trust, ERISA or other governing laws, the applicable investment product prospectuses and/or other governing instruments and/or any rules, policies or procedures established by the Plan Administrator; (2) would jeopardize the tax qualification status of the Plan; (3) could result in a loss in excess of the Participant’s Account balance; (4) would result in a prohibited transaction; or (5) would generate income that would be taxable to the Plan.

(e) Oral instructions. The Plan Administrator may, at its sole discretion, establish procedures to receive investment instructions orally. If such procedures are established, any oral instruction shall be followed by a written confirmation of such instructions and shall be sent to the Participant by first class mail or other reasonable means.

(f) Other restrictions. If a Plan is subject to the provisions of this Article, and a Participant or Beneficiary requests a distribution of his benefits, the timing, manner and form of any such distribution shall be subject to the conditions and obligations of the investment option or options selected by the Participant, as well as those of the Plan. Furthermore, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority, for administrative reasons, to instruct the Trustee to transfer monies to a segregated option that is a federally insured savings account, certificate of deposit in a bank or savings and loan association, money market option, or other short-term debt security acceptable to the Trustee until such time as an allocation pursuant to this Plan can be made. Such administrative reasons shall include, but are not limited to, the transfer of monies from another plan to this Plan, the liquidation of an investment option, the delivery of monies to the Trust upon the maturity of bonds or Guaranteed Investment Contracts or other such instruments, and upon the termination or partial termination of the Plan. Also, the Employer and/or the Trustee shall have the power to liquidate options and transfer them to one or more segregated accounts, as described in the preceding sentence, if the Employer and/or the Trustee believes it is prudent to do so in light of the Employer’s and/or Trustee’s fiduciary duties to the Plan’s Participants. The Employer and/or Trustee shall have the authority to take such actions, without any prior notice to Participants, but shall notify the Plan Administrator of the Trustee’s action as soon as practicable thereafter. The Plan Administrator shall notify the affected Participants and Beneficiaries within 90 days of any such transfer.

10.04 Investment Direction – Employer Securities

	(a)		Definitions. For purposes of this Article the following definition applies:

			(1) Employer Securities – means shares of common stock issued by the Plan Sponsor, as identified in the Adoption Agreement.

			(2) Responsible Fiduciary – means the individual or party identified in the Adoption Agreement.

	(b)		Investment Election – Employer Securities

			(1) Participant Election — If provided for in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may file a

			written direction with the Plan Administrator specifying which percentage of his Accounts are to be invested in Employer Securities. The Plan Administrator may limit the Accounts and the percentage alternatives available to be invested in Employer Securities in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner. Any restrictions on transferring from or into Employer Securities will be specified in the Adoption Agreement and Articles IX and X of the Plan document, and will comply with federal securities law.
			(2) Employer Contributions and Forfeitures. In the event that Employer Contributions are invested in Employer Securities, as specified in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may elect, in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, to transfer (and the Adoption Agreement shall specify if such transfer is irrevocable) a percentage of the amounts in his Employer Contributions that are invested in Employer Securities pursuant to the restrictions identified in the Adoption Agreement.

	(c)		Proxy Voting – Employer Securities. When the Plan Sponsor files preliminary or final proxy solicitation materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Plan Sponsor shall cause a copy of all materials to be simultaneously sent to the Responsible Fiduciary. Based on these materials, the Responsible Fiduciary will ensure that a voting instruction form is prepared. At the time of mailing of notice of each annual or special stockholders’ meeting of the Plan Sponsor, the Plan Sponsor shall cause a copy of the notice and all proxy solicitation materials to be sent to each Participant and Beneficiary with an interest in Employer Securities held in the Trust, together with the foregoing voting instruction form to be returned to the Responsible Fiduciary or its designee. The Responsible Fiduciary shall provide the Trustee with a copy of any materials provided to the Participants and Beneficiaries and shall certify to the Trustee that the materials have been mailed or otherwise sent to the Participants and Beneficiaries.

			Each Participant and Beneficiary with an interest in Employer Securities held in the Trust shall have the right to direct the manner in which to vote the number of shares of the Employer Securities reflecting such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s proportional interest in the Employer Securities held in the Trust (both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant or Beneficiary to the Responsible Fiduciary concerning the voting of the Employer Securities shall be communicated in a then acceptable written format. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Responsible Fiduciary and shall not be divulged to the Plan Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other person. Upon its receipt of the directions, the Responsible Fiduciary shall direct the Trustee on how to vote the shares of the Employer Securities reflecting the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s proportional interest in the Employer Securities held in the Trust as directed by the Participant.

			Shares of the Employer Securities reflecting Participant’s or Beneficiary’s proportional interest in the Employer Securities held in the Trust (both vested and unvested) for which it has received no directions from Participants or Beneficiaries shall be voted in the same proportion on each issue as it votes those shares for which it received voting directions from Participants and Beneficiaries. Shares of the Employer Securities not credited to Participants’ or Beneficiaries’ Accounts shall be voted in the same proportion on each issue as it votes those shares credited to Participants’ or Beneficiaries’ Accounts for which it received voting directions from Participants or Beneficiaries. If the Responsible Fiduciary determines that it would be imprudent to vote shares of Employer Securities in the manner described herein, he or she will change the manner in which shares are voted so as to comply with his or her fiduciary responsibilities under the applicable law.

	(d)		Tender Offers – Employer Securities. Upon commencement of a tender offer for any securities held in the Trust that are Employer Securities, the Responsible Fiduciary shall notify each Participant or Beneficiary of the tender offer and utilize its best efforts to timely distribute or cause to be distributed to each Participant or Beneficiary the same information that is distributed to other stockholders of the Plan Sponsor in connection with the tender offer. The Plan Sponsor shall provide the Responsible Fiduciary with a copy of any material provided to the Participants and Beneficiaries. The Responsible Fiduciary shall certify to the Trustee that the materials have been mailed or otherwise sent to Participants and Beneficiaries.

			Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the right to direct the Responsible Fiduciary to tender or not to tender some or all of the shares of the Employer Securities reflecting his proportional interest in the Employer Securities held in the Trust (both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant or Beneficiary to the Responsible Fiduciary concerning the tender of the Employer Securities shall be communicated in a then acceptable written format. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Responsible Fiduciary and shall not be divulged to the Plan Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such persons in the ordinary course of the performance of the Responsible Fiduciary’s services hereunder. The Responsible Fiduciary shall tender shares of Employer Securities as directed by the Participant or Beneficiary. To the extent that Participants and Beneficiaries fail to affirmatively direct the Responsible Fiduciary or fail to issue valid directions to the Responsible Fiduciary to tender shares of the Employer Securities credited to their Accounts, they will be deemed to have instructed the Responsible Fiduciary not to tender those shares. Accordingly, the Responsible Fiduciary shall not tender shares of Employer Securities credited to a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Accounts for which it has received no directions or invalid directions from him.

			The Responsible Fiduciary shall tender that number of shares of the Employer Securities not credited to the Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ Accounts which is determined by multiplying the total number of shares of the Employer Securities not credited to Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ Accounts by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of shares of the Employer Securities credited to Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ Accounts for which the Responsible Fiduciary has received valid directions from Participants and Beneficiaries to tender (which directions have not been withdrawn as of the date of this determination) and of which the denominator is the total number of shares of the Employer Securities credited to the Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ Accounts.

			A Participant or Beneficiary who has directed the Responsible Fiduciary to tender some or all of the shares of the Employer Securities credited to his Accounts may, at any time prior to the tender offer withdrawal date, direct the Responsible Fiduciary to withdraw some or all of the tendered shares, and the Responsible Fiduciary shall withdraw the directed number of shares from the tender offer prior to the tender offer withdrawal deadline. Prior to the withdrawal deadline, if any shares of the Employer Securities not credited to Participants’ or Beneficiaries’ Accounts have been tendered, the Responsible Fiduciary shall redetermine the number of shares of the Employer Securities that would be tendered under this Section if the date of the foregoing withdrawal were the date of determination, and withdraw from the tender offer the number of shares of the Employer Securities not credited to Participants’ or Beneficiaries’ Accounts necessary to reduce the amount of tendered Employer Securities not credited to Participants’ or Beneficiaries’ Accounts to the amount so redetermined. A Participant or Beneficiary shall not be limited as to the number of directions to tender or withdraw that he may give to the Responsible Fiduciary.

			A direction by a Participant or Beneficiary to the Responsible Fiduciary to tender shares of the Employer Securities reflecting his proportional interest in the Employer Securities held in the Trust shall not be considered a written election by him to withdraw, or have distributed, any or all of his withdrawable shares. The Responsible Fiduciary shall credit to each proportional interest of the Participant or Beneficiary from which the tendered shares were taken the proceeds received by the Responsible Fiduciary in exchange for the shares of Employer Securities tendered from that interest.

			The Responsible Fiduciary will comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) unless he or she determines that it is imprudent to do so, in which case he or she will carry out the provisions of this Section in a manner which complies with his or her fiduciary responsibilities under applicable law.

ARTICLE XI. PARTICIPANT LOANS.

11.01. Availability of Loans. If elected by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan may permit a Participant to obtain a loan from the Plan. The Plan’s written loan policy shall set forth all loan rules and restrictions.

11.02. Loan Policy. The loan policy (“Loan Policy”) shall be a written document setting forth the specific provisions for Participant loans, and is herein incorporated as part of the Plan by reference. A signed copy of the Loan Policy shall be kept on file by the Plan Administrator, and a summary thereof shall be set forth in the Summary Plan Description for the Plan. The Loan Policy shall include (1) the identity of the person or position authorized to administer the Participant loan program; (2) a procedure for applying for loans; (3) the basis on which loans shall be approved or denied; (4) limitations (if any) on the types and amounts of loans offered; (5) the procedure under the program for determining a reasonable rate of interest; (6) the types of collateral which may secure a Participant loan; (7) the events constituting default and the steps that shall be taken to preserve Plan assets in the event of such default; and (8) all other information sufficient to apprise all possible borrowers of the scope and procedures of the loan program. Loans shall be available to Plan Participants on a nondiscriminatory basis without regard to any individual’s race, color, religion, sex, age or national origin.

11.03. Loan Documents. The originals of all promissory notes and other forms requested by the Trustee in respect of any loan shall be retained by the Trustee (or an authorized representative of the Trustee), or the Plan Administrator (or an authorized representative of the Plan Administrator) as long as the loan is outstanding.

ARTICLE XII. ADOPTION, TERMINATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

12.01. Adoption Agreement. The Plan Sponsor shall adopt this Plan by its Adoption Agreement complete in every respect and agreeing to be bound as an Employer by all the terms of the Plan with respect to its Eligible Employees. The Adoption Agreement shall specify the Effective Date of such adoption of the Plan and shall become, to the Employer and its Employees, a part of this Plan. The Employer shall be solely responsible for establishing and maintaining the tax-qualified status of this Plan.

12.02. Right to Amend Reserved.

(a) Right to Amend. The Employer, by action of its corporate officers, general manager (if applicable), managing partner (if applicable), or any individual appointed pursuant to Section 9.01 (regarding the Plan Administrator), shall have the right at any time and from time to time to amend the Plan, subject to the limitations of this paragraph (a). However, any amendment which affects the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Trustee or Plan Administrator, may only be made with the Trustee’s and Plan Administrator’s written consent.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, an amendment shall require the approval or ratification of the Plan Sponsor’s Board of Directors if the effect of such amendment is to:

	(1)		terminate the Plan;

	(2)		cease benefit accruals or contributions;

	(3)		significantly change the cost of funding or operating the Plan;

	(4)		effect a permissible change which materially affects Participants’ rights;

	(5)		otherwise significantly alter the Plan Sponsor’s rights, liabilities and burdens with respect to the Plan.

(b) No Protected Benefit may be eliminated. No amendment to the Plan shall eliminate a Protected Benefit, except to the extent permitted under Regulation section 1.411(d)(6).

12.03. Limitations on Employer’s Right to Amend. No such amendment shall, without a Participant’s consent (except as otherwise specifically permitted under this Plan), deprive, limit, lessen or restrict any vested right or interest to which any Participant is already entitled under the Plan. Furthermore, no such amendment may decrease the Vested Balance of a Participant, nor may it eliminate or reduce an Early Retirement benefit, nor may it eliminate a Protected Benefit.

12.04. Right to Terminate. The Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part with respect to its Employees at any time by giving written notice to the Trustee. Any such notice shall designate the Effective Date of such termination. Upon the termination or partial termination of the Plan by an Employer with respect to its Employees by an Employer, the affected Participants with respect to whom the Plan has wholly or partially terminated, shall be 100% vested in their Accounts. After payment of all expenses, and the proportionate adjustment of Participants’ Accounts to reflect such expenses, net income or loss of the Trust Fund and allocation to date of termination, and requirements of Code section 401(k)(2)(B), benefits shall be distributed to each Participant, as soon as administratively practicable, as provided herein. The Employer may notify the Internal Revenue Service in writing of such termination with respect to its Employees. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time by giving written notice to the Trustee.

Upon such termination, the Employer may distribute all amounts held under the Plan except, however, that amounts attributable to salary deferrals shall not be distributed if the affected Participants shall be employed by a successor employer maintaining a qualified plan with a salary deferral arrangement.

12.05. Suspension of Contributions. In the event of a complete discontinuance of contributions to this Plan, the vested percentage of each Participant in his Employer Account shall be 100%.

12.06. Merger, Partial Merger, Consolidation, and Transfer of Assets. This Plan and Trust may be merged, partially merged, or consolidated with, or assets and/or liabilities may be transferred to, or from, any other plan and trust only if the benefits which would be received by a Participant of this Plan, in the event of a termination of the Plan immediately after such transfer, merger or consolidation, are at least equal to the benefits the Participant would have received if the Plan had terminated immediately before such transfer, merger or consolidation, and such transfer, merger or consolidation does not otherwise result in the elimination or reduction of any Protected Benefit, nor cause any Participant to vest less rapidly in any Employer Account than would have otherwise been the case prior to said transfer, merger, or consolidation.

Unless specifically prohibited in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan shall accept assets transferred from a Plan qualified under Code section 401(a). Upon the transfer of any assets or liabilities in connection with the merger, partial merger, or consolidation of another plan qualified under Code section 401(a) with this Plan, the Plan Administrator may direct that the total of Employee transfers made in cash after a Valuation Date be segregated into a separate account for each Participant in a federally insured savings account, certificate of deposit in a bank or savings and loan association, money market fund, or other short-term debt security acceptable to the Trustee until such time as the allocations pursuant to this Plan have been made, at which time they may remain segregated or be invested as part of the general Trust Fund, to be determined by the Plan Administrator.

Any amounts transferred to this Plan from another plan, as described in the preceding paragraph, that are attributable to contributions from the Employer that maintained such plan, shall be fully vested upon such merger, unless otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement or in an amendment to the Plan addressing such transfer, merger, or consolidation.

12.07. Partial Termination. Upon a determination by the Plan Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion, that a partial termination of the Plan has occurred with respect to a group of Participants, the Trustee shall, in accordance with the directions of the Plan Administrator, allocate and segregate for the benefit of the affected Employees then or theretofore employed by the Employer with respect to which the Plan is being terminated the proportionate interest of such Participants in the Trust Fund. The funds so allocated and segregated shall be used by the Trustee to pay benefits to or on behalf of Participants in accordance with Section 12.08.

12.08. Liquidation of the Trust Fund. Upon termination or partial termination of the Plan, the Accounts of all Participants affected thereby shall become fully vested, and the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to implement either subsection (a) or (b) below.

(a) Continuing the Trust. Under this option, the Trustee shall continue to administer the Trust Fund and pay Account balances in accordance with Section 7.07, to Participants affected by the termination upon their termination of employment or to their Beneficiaries upon such a Participant’s death, until the Trust Fund has been liquidated.

(b) Liquidating the Trust. Under this option, the Trustee shall, as soon as administratively practicable, distribute the assets remaining in the Trust Fund, after payment of any expenses properly chargeable thereto, to Participants, Former Participants and Beneficiaries in proportion to their respective Account balances. In case the Plan Administrator directs liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the expenses of administering the Plan and Trust, if not paid by the Employer, shall be paid from the Trust Fund. A liquidation of the Trust Fund may be delayed in the event the Employer has made an application with the Internal Revenue Service for a

determination of the Plan’s qualified status upon termination and such liquidation is pending a favorable determination.

12.09. Manner of Distribution. To the extent that no discrimination in value results, any distribution after termination of the Plan may be made, in whole or in part, in cash, in securities or other assets in kind, or in non-transferable annuity contracts, as the Plan Administrator shall determine. All non-cash distributions shall be valued at fair market value as of the date of distribution. Distributions due to the termination or partial termination of the Plan shall be made in accordance with the modes of distribution provided for in the Plan. Except, however, that in the event of the termination of the Plan and liquidation of the Trust, distributions shall only be made in a lump sum unless the Adoption Agreement provides for the purchase of annuities.

12.10. No Reversion to Employers. Except as provided herein, no portion of the principal or the income of the Trust Fund shall revert to or be recoverable by the Employer (or any Participating Employer) or ever be used for or diverted to any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants, Beneficiaries or alternate payees, provided, however, that:

(a) Deductibility. All Employer contributions are conditioned upon the deductibility of the contributions under Code section 404, then, to the extent the deduction is disallowed, the Plan shall, upon written request of the Employer (or Participating Employer), return such amounts as may be permitted by law to such Employer (or Participating Employer) as appropriate, within one year after the date the deduction is disallowed; and

(b) Mistake of Fact. If a contribution or any portion thereof is made by the Employer (or Participating Employer) by a mistake of fact, the Plan shall, upon written request of the Employer, return such amounts as may be permitted by law to the Employer (or Participating Employer), within one year after the date of payment to the Trust; and

(c) Initial Qualification. All Employer contributions are conditioned upon the initial qualification of the Plan and Trust under Code sections 401 and 501. The contributions of the Employer (or of a Participating Employer) to the Trust for all Plans Years, with the gains and losses thereon, shall be returned by the Plan to the Employer (or such Participating Employer), within one year in the event that the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service either issues an adverse determination on the initial qualification of the Plan and Trust or fails to rule that the Plan and Trust were as of such date qualified and tax-exempt (within the meaning of Code sections 401 and 501); and

(d) Other Allowable Provisions. Assets may be returned to the Employer (or Participating Employer) to the extent such return is permitted by ERISA, the Code, the Department of Treasury Regulations, Department of Labor Regulations, or any other authorities or guidance issued by the United States Department of Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service, or the Department of Labor.

12.11. Determination of Returned Amount. Provided, however, that the return of any contributions to the Employer (or Participating Employer) pursuant to Section 12.10 (a), (b) or (d), shall satisfy the following requirements:

(a) the amount returned shall not exceed the amount which would have been contributed had there been no error in determining the deduction or mistake of fact, as the case may be;

(b) the amount returned shall not include the earnings attributable to such contributions;

(c) the amount returned shall be reduced by any losses attributable to such contributions;

(d) the individual Account of any Participant (or Beneficiary or alternate payee) shall not be reduced, by the return of such contributions, to less than such Account would have been had the returned contributions never been made.

ARTICLE XIII. PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS.

13.01. Adoption By Other Employers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor and Trustee, any other corporation or entity, whether an Affiliate or subsidiary or not, may adopt this Plan and all of the provisions hereof, and participate herein and be known as a Participating Employer, by delivering to the Plan Sponsor and Trustee a properly executed document evidencing said intent and will of such Participating Employer.

13.02. Requirements of Participating Employers.

(a) Trustee. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Adoption Agreement, each Participating Employer shall be required to use the same Trustee as provided in this Plan, or as provided in such separate Trust Agreement as shall be specified in the Adoption Agreement.

(b) Trust Funds. The Trustee may, but shall not be required to, commingle, hold and invest as one Trust Fund all contributions made by Participating Employers, as well as all increments thereof. However, the assets of the Plan shall, on an ongoing basis, be available to pay benefits to all Participants and Beneficiaries under the Plan without regard to the Employer or Participating Employer who contributed such assets.

(c) Transfers. The transfer of any Participant from or to the Employer or a Participating Employer, whether an Employee of the Employer or a Participating Employer, shall not affect such Participant’s rights under the Plan, and all amounts credited to such Participant’s Account as well as his accumulated service time with the transferor or predecessor, and his length of participation in the Plan, shall continue to his credit.

(d) Participant rules. All rights and values forfeited by termination of employment shall inure, in accordance with Section 4.06(f), only to the benefit of the Participants of the Employer or Participating Employer by which the forfeiting Participant was employed, except if the Forfeiture is for an Employee whose Employer is an Affiliate, then said Forfeiture shall inure to the benefit of the Participants of those employers who are Affiliates, unless otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement. Should an Employee of one (“First”) Employer be transferred to an associated (“Second”) Employer which is an Affiliate, such transfer shall not cause his Account balance (generated while an Employee of the “First” Employer) in any manner, or by any amount to be forfeited. Such Employee’s Participant Account balance for all purposes of the Plan, including length of Service, shall be considered as though he had always been employed by the “Second” Employer, and as such had received contributions, Forfeitures, earnings or losses, and appreciation or depreciation in value of assets totaling the amount so transferred.

(e) Expenses. Any expenses of the Trust which are to be paid by the Employer or borne by the Trust Fund shall be paid by each Participating Employer in the same proportion that the total amount standing to the credit of all Participants employed by such Employer bears to the total standing to the credit of all Participants.

13.03. Designation of Agent. Each Participating Employer shall be deemed to be a part of this Plan; provided, however, that with respect to all of its relations with the Trustee and the Plan Administrator for the purpose of this Plan, each Participating Employer shall be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Plan Sponsor as its agent.

13.04. Employee Transfers. It is anticipated that an Employee may be transferred between Participating Employers, and in the event of any such transfer, the Employee involved shall carry with him his accumulated Service and eligibility. No such transfer shall effect a termination of employment hereunder.

13.05. Participating Employer’s Contribution.

(a) In general. A Participating Employer’s Contributions shall be applied according to one of the following methods as specified in the Adoption Agreement:

(1) All contributions made by a Participating Employer and the allocation of related Forfeitures, as provided for in this Plan, shall be determined separately by each Participating Employer, and shall be paid to and held by the Trustee for the exclusive benefit of the Employees of such Participating Employer and the Beneficiaries of such Employees, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Plan. On the basis of the information furnished by the Plan Administrator, the Trustee shall keep separate books and records concerning the affairs of each Participating Employer hereunder and as to the Accounts and credits of the Employees of each Participating Employer.

(2) Any contribution or Forfeiture subject to allocation during each Plan Year shall be allocated among all Participants of all Participating Employers in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. On the basis of the information furnished by the Plan Administrator, the Trustee shall keep separate books and records concerning the affairs of each Participating Employer hereunder and as to the Accounts and credits of the Employees of each Participating Employer.

(b) Contracts. The Trustee may, but need not, register contracts so as to evidence that a particular Participating Employer is the interested Employer hereunder, but in the event of an Employee transfer from one Participating Employer to another, the employing Employer shall immediately notify the Trustee thereof.

13.06. Amendment. Amendment of this Plan shall only be done by the Plan Sponsor, and with the consent of the Trustee, where such consent is necessary in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Written action by each and every Participating Employer, and with the consent of the Trustee where such consent is necessary in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Adoption Agreement, shall only be required if so provided in the Adoption Agreement.

13.07. Discontinuance of Participation. Any Participating Employer shall be permitted to discontinue or revoke its participation in the Plan. At the time of any such discontinuance or revocation, satisfactory evidence thereof and of any applicable conditions imposed shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall thereafter transfer, deliver and assign Contracts and other Trust Fund assets allocable to the Participants of such Participating Employer to such new Trustee as shall have been designated by such Participating Employer, in the event that it has established a separate plan qualified under Code section 401(a) for its Employees; provided, however, that no such transfer shall be made if the result is the elimination or reduction of any Protected Benefit. If no successor is designated, the Trustee shall retain such assets for the Employees of said Participating Employer pursuant to the provisions of such separate Trust Agreement as shall be in effect. In no such event shall any part of the corpus or income of the Trust as it relates to such Participating Employer be used for or delivered for purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Employees (and their Beneficiaries) of such Participating Employer.

13.08. Plan Administrator’s Authority. The Plan Administrator shall have authority to make any and all necessary rules or regulations, binding upon all Participating Employers and all Participants, to effectuate the purpose of this Article.

13.09. Participating Employer’s Contribution for Affiliate. If any Participating Employer is prevented in whole or in part from making a contribution to the Trust Fund which it would otherwise have made under the Plan by reason of having no current or accumulated earnings or profits, or because such earnings or profits are less than the contribution which it would otherwise have made, then, pursuant to Code section 404(a)(3)(B), so much of the contribution which such Participating Employer was so prevented from making may be made, for the benefit of the participating Employees of such Participating Employer, by the other Participating Employers who are members of the same affiliated group within the meaning of Code section 1504, to the extent of their current or accumulated earnings or profits. However, any such contribution by each such other Participating Employer shall be limited to the proportion of its total current and accumulated earnings or profits remaining after adjustment for its contribution to the Plan made without regard to this paragraph which the total prevented contribution bears to the total current and accumulated earnings or profits of all the Participating Employers remaining after adjustment for all contributions made to the Plan without regard to this paragraph. A Participating Employer, on behalf of whose Employees a contribution is made under this paragraph, shall not reimburse the contributing Participating Employers.

ARTICLE XIV. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

14.01. Named Fiduciaries and Allocation of Responsibility. The Named Fiduciaries of this Plan are (1) the Employer and (2) the Plan Administrator. The Named Fiduciaries shall have only those powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations as are specifically given them under the Plan. In general, the Employer shall have sole and absolute discretion for making the contributions provided for under Article III, and shall have sole and absolute discretion to appoint and remove the Trustee and the Plan Administrator; to formulate the Plan’s “funding policy and method;” and to amend or terminate, in whole or in part, the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have sole and absolute discretion for the administration of the Plan, which responsibility includes the sole and absolute discretion to interpret the Plan and to determine eligibility for benefits, including the amount of benefits. The Trustee shall have sole and absolute discretion of management of the assets held under the Trust, except those assets, the management of which have been assigned to an Investment Manager, who shall have sole and absolute discretion for the management of the assets assigned to it, all as specifically provided herein. Each Named Fiduciary warrants that any directions given, information furnished, or action taken by it shall be in accordance with the provisions herein, authorizing or providing for such direction, information or action. Furthermore, each Named Fiduciary may rely upon any such direction, information or action of another Named Fiduciary as being proper under the provisions of the Plan, and is not required to inquire into the propriety of any such direction, information or action. It is intended under the provisions of the Plan that each Named Fiduciary shall be responsible for the proper exercise of its own powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Plan. No Named Fiduciary shall guarantee the Trust Fund in any manner against investment loss or depreciation in asset value. Any person or group may serve in more than one Fiduciary capacity. In the furtherance of their responsibilities hereunder, the Named Fiduciaries shall be empowered with the sole discretion to resolve ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions, which findings shall be binding, final and conclusive.

14.02. Nonalienability of Benefits. The rights of Participants and Beneficiaries to receive any benefit payment under this Plan may not be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated or subject to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process, except to the extent otherwise provided for herein with respect to:

(a) Qualified Domestic Relations Orders;

(b) Loans to Participants;

(c) An offset of a Participant’s benefits under this Plan that is the result of a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan, or under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) for a violation of fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, or under a settlement agreement between the Participant and the Secretary of Labor for a violation (or alleged violation) of fiduciary responsibilities (including fiduciary duties) that orders or requires the Participant to pay the Plan issued or entered into on or after August 5, 1997. However, the judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement must specifically provide for the offset of all or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s benefits under this Plan.

This provision shall not preclude the enforcement of a federal tax levy made pursuant to Code section 6331, or the collection by the United States on a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment.

14.03. Rights to Trust Assets. No Employee or Beneficiary shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Trust Fund except as provided under this Plan, and then only to the extent of the benefits payable to such Employee or Beneficiary out of the Trust Fund.

14.04. No Diversion of Trust Fund. No part of the Trust Fund shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries.

14.05. Name and Address Change. Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall at all times be responsible for notifying the Plan Administrator of any change in his name or address. If any check payment of a benefit hereunder (which was mailed to the last address of the payee as shown on the records of the Plan Administrator) is returned unclaimed, further payments shall be discontinued until the Plan Administrator directs otherwise.

14.06. Plan Not an Employment Contract. The adoption and continuance of this Plan by the Employer (or Participating Employer) shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Employer (or Participating Employer) and any Participant, Employee or other person; nor shall it be deemed to be consideration for, inducement to, or a condition of employment of any person.

14.07. Controlling Law. All legal questions pertaining to the Plan, all constructions and all regulations shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of the Employer unless otherwise preempted by ERISA or other federal law.

14.08. Severability. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or illegal for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions, but each provision shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted.

14.09. Legal Action. In the event any claim, suit, or proceeding (the “claim”) is brought regarding the Trust and/or Plan established hereunder to which the Trustee or the Plan Administrator may be a party, and such claim, suit, or proceeding is resolved in favor of the Trustee or Plan Administrator, they shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Trust fund for any and all costs, attorney’s fees, and other expense (the “expenses”) pertaining thereto incurred by them for which they shall have become liable. Alternatively, the Plan Sponsor may, in its discretion, reimburse the Trustee or Plan Administrator for any expenses resulting from such a claim. If a claim is not resolved in favor of the Plan Administrator, the Plan Sponsor shall nonetheless reimburse the Plan Administrator from any such expenses (including any damages or settlement amounts) unless the liability of the Plan Administrator was due to intentional violation of the law or to a wanton and willful disregard for the law. If a claim is not resolved in favor of the Trustee, the Plan Sponsor shall nonetheless reimburse the Trustee from any such expenses (including any damages or settlement amounts) unless the liability of the Trustee was due to its gross negligence, willful misconduct, lack of good faith, or breach of fiduciary duties under ERISA.

14.10. Employer’s and Trustee’s Protective Clause. Neither the Employer (nor any Participating Employer) nor the Trustee, nor their successors, shall be responsible for the validity of any Contract issued hereunder or for the failure on the part of the insurer to make payments provided for by any such Contract, or for the action or omission by any person which may delay payment or render a Contract null and void or unenforceable in whole or in part.

14.11. Insurer’s Protective Clause. Any insurer who shall issue a Contract hereunder shall not have any responsibility for the validity of this Plan or for the tax or legal aspects of this Plan. The insurer shall be protected and held harmless in acting in accordance with any written direction of the Trustee, and shall have no duty to see to the application of any funds paid to the Trustee, nor be required to question any actions directed by the Trustee. Regardless of any provision of this Plan, the insurer shall not be required to take or permit any action or allow any benefit or privilege contrary to the terms of any Contract which it issues hereunder, or the rules of the insurer.

14.12. Receipt and Release for Payments. Any payment to any Participant, his legal representative, Beneficiary, any alternate payee, or to the estate of a Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee, or to any

guardian or committee appointed for such Participant, Beneficiary, alternate payee, or estate in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Trustee and the Employer (or Participating Employer), either of whom may require such Participant, legal representative, Beneficiary, alternate payee, guardian, or committee, or administrator or executor or such estate, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release thereof in such form as shall be determined by the Trustee or Employer.

14.13. Action by the Employer. Whenever the Employer under the terms of the Plan is permitted or required to do or perform any act or matter or thing, it shall be done and performed by a person duly authorized by its legally constituted authority.

14.14. Headings for Convenience. Headings of Articles and Sections are included solely for convenience or reference, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control.

14.15. Words Used. Wherever appropriate, the masculine gender shall be construed to include the feminine gender and neuter, and the feminine gender shall be construed to include the masculine gender and neuter. Words used in the singular shall be construed to include plurals, and the plural to include the singular.

14.16. Reference to Code or ERISA Sections. Reference to the provision of any particular section of the Code or ERISA shall be deemed reference to any section of the Code or ERISA which may hereafter contain the same or similar provision.

14.17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all counterparts shall, together, constitute only one Plan document.

(d) the Plan does not permit the payment of benefits in the form of a life annuity; and

(e) with respect to such Participant, the Plan is not a direct or indirect transferee (in a transfer after December 31, 1984) of a defined benefit plan, a defined contribution plan subject to the funding standards of Code section 412, or a defined contribution plan that is subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417.

Section 2. Definitions. For purposes of this Appendix A, the following terms shall have the meaning provided herein.

(a) Annuity Starting Date means the first day of the first period for which an amount is payable as an annuity or any other form.

(b) Earliest Retirement Age means the earliest date on which, under the Plan and Adoption Agreement, a Participant could elect to receive retirement benefits.

(d) Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity (“QJSA”) means an annuity for the life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant’s Surviving Spouse which is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Participant’s Spouse (unless a different survivor annuity percentage is provided for in the Adoption Agreement), and which is the actuarial equivalent of a single annuity for the life of the Participant.

(e) Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity (“QOSA”) means an annuity for the life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant’s Surviving Spouse which is equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Surviving Spouse (unless a different survivor annuity percentage is provided for in the Adoption Agreement), and which is the actuarial equivalent of a single annuity for the life of the Participant.

A-1

Section 3. Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

(a) Automatic Form of Benefit. In the case of a vested Participant who does not die before the Annuity Starting Date, the accrued benefit payable to such Participant is provided in the form of a QJSA. Unless an optional form of benefit is selected by a Participant, a married Participant’s Vested Balance shall be paid in the form of a QJSA and an unmarried Participant’s Vested Balance shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity. A Participant may elect to have such an annuity distributed upon the attainment of the Earliest Retirement Age under the Plan and Adoption Agreement.

(b) Waiver of QJSA. A Participant may elect to waive the QJSA pursuant to a Qualified Election within the 180-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. The Participant may revoke such election at any time during such 180-day period.

(c) Election of QOSA. Effective for Annuity Starting Dates in the Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2007, if a Participant elects to waive the QJSA, the Participant may elect a QOSA without satisfying the spousal consent requirements of Section 5. The Participant may revoke such an election at any time during the 180-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date.

Section 4. Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity.

(a) General. In the case of a vested Participant who dies before the Annuity Starting Date and who has a Surviving Spouse, then the Participant’s Vested Account Balance shall be applied, at the discretion of the Surviving Spouse, toward the purchase of a QPSA for the life of the Surviving Spouse, subject to the restrictions of Sections 7 and 8. The Surviving Spouse may direct the commencement of payments under the QPSA within a reasonable time after the Participant’s death.

(b) Waiver of QPSA. During the period beginning on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 and ending on the date of the Participant’s death, a Participant may elect to waive the QPSA pursuant to a Qualified Election. In the case of a Participant who has a separation from service, the election period under the preceding sentence with respect to benefits accrued before the date of separation from service shall not begin later than such date of separation.

(c) Pre-Age 35 Waiver of QPSA. A Participant may elect to waive the QPSA pursuant to a “Pre-Age 35 Waiver.” A Pre-Age 35 Waiver means the special Qualified Election waiver of the QPSA by a Participant who shall not have attained age 35 as of the end of any current Plan Year. Such waiver shall be for the period beginning on the date of such election and ending on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant shall attain age 35. If there is no new waiver on or after the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 as described in subsection (b) above, the Participant’s Surviving Spouse shall receive the QPSA benefit upon the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the preceding, a spouse of a deceased Participant may elect to have benefits paid in a form other than a survivor annuity.

Section 5. Qualified Election.

(a) General. An election to waive a QJSA or a QPSA shall be deemed a Qualified Election if it meets the requirements specified in this Section 5.

(b) Requirements for Spousal Consent. Any waiver of a QJSA or a QPSA shall not be effective unless: (1) the Participant’s Spouse consents in writing to the election; (2) the election designates a specific Beneficiary which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the consent of the Spouse expressly

permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further spousal consent); (3) the Spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of the election; and (4) the Spouse’s consent is witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Any consent by a Spouse obtained under this section (or the establishment that the consent of a Spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such consenting Spouse.

(c) Additional Requirement for Waiver of QJSA. A Participant’s waiver of a QJSA shall not be effective unless the Qualified Election designates the form of benefit payment (method of distribution) which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent).

(d) Exceptions to Spousal Consent Requirement. A waiver of a QJSA or a QPSA without spousal consent shall be deemed a Qualified Election if it is established to the Plan Administrator’s satisfaction that such consent may not be obtained because: (1) there is no Spouse; (2) the Spouse cannot be located; or (3) pursuant to section 1.401(a)-20, Q&A-27 of the Regulations, the Spouse is legally incompetent to give consent.

(e) Legal Competency. In the event that the Spouse is not legally competent to give consent, then the Spouse’s legal guardian, even if the guardian is the Participant, may give such consent. For purposes of the preceding, legal competency and legal guardianship shall be determined by state law. Where there is a question as to which state has jurisdiction to determine such matters, the Plan Administrator may determine which jurisdiction shall control.

(f) Legal Separation. If the Participant is legally separated or the Participant has been abandoned (within the meaning of local law) and the Participant has a court order to such effect, spousal consent is not required unless a QDRO provides otherwise.

(g) General Consent. A general consent permits the Participant to change the designated Beneficiary or the optional form of benefit without any requirement of further consent by such Spouse; provided, however, such general consent must acknowledge that the Spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary and a specific optional form of benefit, where applicable, and that the Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both of such rights.

(h) Revocation. A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a Participant without the consent of the Spouse at any time before commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be limited. No consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless a Participant has received notice as provided in this Appendix A.

Section 6. Notice Requirements.

(a) Written Explanation of QJSA and QOSA. The Plan Administrator shall, no less than 30 days and no more than 180 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date, provide each Participant a written explanation of: (1) the terms and conditions of the QJSA and the QOSA; (2) the Participant’s right to make, and the effect of an election to waive, the joint and survivor annuity form of benefit; (3) the rights of the Participant’s Spouse to consent to the election; and (4) the right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a previous election.

(b) Written Explanation of QPSA. The Plan Administrator shall provide each Participant within the “applicable period” for such Participant, a written explanation of the QPSA in such terms and in such manner as would be comparable to the explanation provided for meeting the requirements in subsection (a) above

A-3

applicable to a QJSA.

The applicable period for a Participant is whichever of the following periods ends last: (1) the period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35; (2) a reasonable period after an Employee becomes a Participant; and (3) a reasonable period ending after Code section 409(a)(11) applies to the Participant. For purposes of this paragraph, a reasonable period ending after the events described in (2) and (3) is the end of the one-year period beginning with the date the applicable event occurs. The applicable period for such an event begins one year prior to the occurrence of such event.

In the case of a Participant who has a separation from service before attaining age 35, notice shall be provided within the two-year period beginning one year prior to separation and ending one year after separation. If such a Participant thereafter returns to employment with the Employer, the applicable period for such Participant shall be redetermined in accordance with this Appendix A.

(c) Waiver of 30-Day Period. A Participant 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 if the distribution commences more than seven days after such explanation is provided.

Section 7. Account Balance Not Greater than $5,000. A distribution may occur without satisfying the spousal consent requirements set forth in this Appendix A if the present value of the nonforfeitable benefit does not exceed $5,000. In such event, a Participant’s Vested Account Balance shall be distributed in a lump sum, if the balance is $1,000 or less or, if the balance is greater than $1,000 but not exceeding $5,000, in a direct rollover for the benefit of the Participant to an individual retirement arrangement designated by the Plan Administrator, if elected in the Adoption Agreement to provide for such automatic rollover.

Section 8. Consent Required for Certain Distributions Exceeding $5,000. A partial or total distribution may not be made when the present value of the nonforfeitable accrued benefit (including Employer and Employee contributions, but not including accumulated deductible Employee contributions) exceeds $5,000, unless the distribution is consented to in writing by the Participant and Participant’s Spouse, if any (or where either the Participant or the Spouse has died, the survivor). Notwithstanding the preceding, a distribution may be made without consent if, and only if, the distribution is in the form of a QPSA or a QJSA.

The consent of a Participant and such Participant’s Spouse shall be obtained in writing within the 180-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. The Plan Administrator shall notify a Participant and such Participant’s Spouse of the right to defer any distribution until such Participant’s Account Balance is no longer immediately distributable. Notwithstanding the preceding, only a Participant need consent to the commencement of a distribution in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity while the Account balance is immediately distributable. An Account is immediately distributable if any part of the Account balance could be distributed to a Participant (or Surviving Spouse) before a Participant attains (or would have attained if not deceased) the later of Normal Retirement Age, or age 62.

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the applicable notice shall include a general description of the material features, and an explanation of the relative values of, the optional forms of benefit (methods of distribution) available under the Plan. Such explanation shall be in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Section 6, and Code section 417(a)(3), and shall be provided no less than 30 days and no more than 180 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date.
