|
[ ] i. Pro rata. In the ratio that each Participant's Compensation bears to the Compensation of all eligible Participants.
[ ] ii. Integrated. Pursuant to either Paragraph (1) or (2) below:
(1) For any Plan Year the Plan is not required to provide top heavy minimum allocations pursuant to Article 11, Profit Sharing Contributions shall be allocated as follows:
(A) Profit-Sharing Contributions first be allocated to each Participant's Profit Sharing Contribution Account in the ratio that the sum of such Participant's total Compensation plus his Excess Compensation bears to the sum of all eligible Participants' total Compensation plus Excess Compensation, but not to exceed the percentage amount described in C.36c of such sum; and
(B) The balance, if any, remaining after the allocation in subparagraph (A) shall then be allocated to each Participant's Profit Sharing Contribution Account in the ratio that such Participant's total Compensation bears to all eligible Participants' total Compensation.
(2) For any Plan Year the Plan is required to provide top heavy minimum allocations pursuant to Article 11, Profit Sharing Contributions shall be allocated as follows:
(A) Profit Sharing Contributions shall first be allocated to each Participant's Profit Sharing Contribution Account in the ratio that each Participant's total Compensation bears to all eligible Participants' total Compensation, but not in excess of 3% of each Participant's Compensation.
(B) The balance, if any, remaining after the allocation in subparagraph (A) shall then be allocated to each Participant's Profit Sharing Contribution Account in the ratio that each Participant's Excess Compensation bears to the Excess Compensation of all Participants, but not in excess of 3% of each Participant's Excess Compensation.
(C) The balance, if any, remaining after the allocation in subparagraph (B) shall then be allocated to each Participant's Profit Sharing Contribution Account in the ratio that the sum of each Participant's total Compensation and Excess Compensation bears to the sum of all eligible Participants' total Compensation and Excess Compensation, but not in excess of the percentage amount described in C.36c less 3%.
(D) The balance, if any, remaining after the allocation in subparagraph (C) shall be allocated to each Participant's Profit Sharing Contribution Account in the ratio that each Participant's total Compensation bears to all Participants' total Compensation.
[ ] iii. Points. In the ratio that such Participant's points bears to the points of all eligible Participants. Each Participant shall receive to the extent provided in C.38a: (a) the points described in C.38d for each year of age he has attained (as of his birthday during such Plan Year), (b) the points described in C.38c for each Plan Year, including the current Plan Year, during which he was eligible to participate in the Plan after meeting the requirements of Article 3 (regardless of any service or last day requirement in Article 4) applicable to Profit Sharing Contributions, and (c) the points described in C.38b for each $100 of Compensation he has earned for such Plan Year. If after application of the foregoing, the average of the allocation rates for eligible Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the average of the allocation rates for eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employees, each eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employee who has earned any points during the Plan Year shall be awarded the same minimum number of points (or fraction of a point) so that the average of the allocation rates for eligible Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the average of the allocation rates for eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employees.
NOTE: While the "Points" formula is a safe harbor formula within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.401(a)(4)-2(b)(3), the Plan must be tested each year to ensure that the average of the allocation rates for eligible Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the average of the allocation rates for eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employees.
[ ] iv. Fixed Amount. In an amount equal to the total Profit Sharing Contribution divided by the number of Participants eligible to share in such contribution.
[ ] v. Age Weighted. The total Company contribution shall be allocated to each Participant such that the equivalent benefit accrual rate for each Participant is identical. The equivalent benefit accrual rate is the annual annuity commencing at the Participant's testing age, expressed as a percentage of the Participant's Compensation which is provided from the allocation of employer contributions and forfeitures (if not used for Plan expenses) for the Plan Year, using standardized actuarial assumptions that satisfy Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(4)-12. The Participant's testing age is the later of normal retirement age, or the Participant's current age.
12
[ ] vi. New Comparability - Defined Groups. Each Participant shall constitute a "separate allocation group" for purposes of allocating contributions. The allocation shall be made as follows: First, the total amount of contributions is allocated among the deemed aggregated allocation groups in portions determined by the Company. A deemed aggregated allocation group consists of all of the separate allocation groups that have the same allocation rate. Second, within each deemed aggregated allocation group, the allocated portion is allocated to each Participant in the ratio that such Participant's Compensation bears to the total Compensation of all Participants in the group. An allocation rate is the amount of contributions allocated to a Participant for a year, expressed as a percentage of Compensation. The amount allocated to one group need not bear any relationship to amounts allocated to any other group.
NOTE: In the case of self-employed individuals (i.e., sole proprietorships or partnerships), the requirements of Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(a)(6) continue to apply, and the allocation method should not be such that a cash or deferred election is created for a self-employed individual as a result of application of the allocation method. No employee can be assigned to more than one deemed aggregated allocation group for a Plan Year.
NOTE: If X.00x.xx is selected, see Section 4.03(b)(1) for 'failsafe' rules regarding the gateway test.

POST EGTRRA ADDENDUM
This Addendum to the Plan is adopted to reflect the provisions of applicable law and the applicable regulations that are generally effective after December 31, 2006 ("Applicable Law"). This Addendum is intended as good faith compliance with the requirements of Applicable Law and is to be construed in accordance with same. This Addendum and the provisions of Applicable Law shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Addendum and Applicable Law.
Except as expressly provided herein, this Addendum shall be effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2007. Any effective dates specified herein shall be modified to the extent necessary to comply with any superseding guidance.
STANDARD PROVISIONS:
A.
|
Annual Addition Limitations. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this Paragraph shall be effective for limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007.
|
|
1.
|
Any correction methods for excess annual additions set forth in the Plan that were allowed pursuant to the prior version of Treas. Reg. 1.415-6(b)(6) shall not apply. However, the Plan may be eligible for self-correction under Rev. Proc. 2006-27, 2006-22 I.R.B. 945 and any superseding guidance.
|
|
2.
|
Restorative payments allocated to a participant’s account, which include payments made to restore losses to the Plan resulting from actions (or a failure to act) by a fiduciary for which there is a reasonable risk of liability under Title I of ERISA or under other applicable federal or state law, where similarly situated participants are similarly treated, shall not give rise to an annual addition for any limitation year.
|
|
3.
|
The Plan's definition of compensation for a year that is used for purposes of Code section 415 may not reflect compensation for a year greater than the limit under Code section 401(a)(17) that applies to that year.
|
|
4.
|
If the Plan uses a definition of compensation for purposes of Code section 415 under prior regulations that included only those items specified in Treas. Reg. section 1.415-2(d)(2)(i) and excluding all of those items listed in Treas. Reg. section 1.415-2(d)(3), the definition shall be revised to indicate that compensation for such purposes means all items of remuneration described in Treas. Reg. 1.415(c)-2(b), and excluding the items of remuneration described in Treas. Reg. 1.415(c)-2(c).
|
|
5.
|
"Post Year End Compensation" means amounts earned during a year but not paid during that 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 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 year.
|
|
6.
|
"Post Severance Compensation" means amounts paid by the later of: (1) 2-1/2 months after an employee's severance from employment with the employer maintaining the plan or (2) the end of the limitation year that includes the date of severance from employment with the employer maintaining the plan; and those amounts would have been included in the definition of compensation if they were paid prior to the employee's severance from employment with the employer maintaining the plan. However the payment must be for (a) unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave, but only if the employee would have been able to use the leave if the employee had continued in employment; or (b) received by an 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.
|
|
7.
|
Compensation shall include other compensation paid by the later of: (1) 2-1/2 months after an employee's severance from employment with the employer maintaining the plan or (2) the end of the limitation year that includes the date of the employee's severance from employment with the employer maintaining the plan if: (a) the payment is regular compensation for services during the employee's regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the employee's regular working hours (e.g., overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments; and the payment would have been paid to the employee prior to a severance from employment if the employee had continued in employment with the employer.
|
|
The exclusions from compensation for payments after severance from employment do 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. To the extent provided in the Plan, compensation shall include compensation paid to a participant who is permanently and totally disabled.
|
B.
|
Protected Benefits. This Paragraph is effective for plan amendments adopted after August 9, 2006 (periods beginning on or after June 7, 2004 relating to suspension of benefit payments).
|
24
|
1.
|
Except as provided in Paragraph B.2, a plan amendment may not decrease a participant's accrued benefits, or otherwise place greater restrictions or conditions on a participant's rights to Code section 411(d)(6) protected benefits, even if the amendment merely adds a restriction or condition that is permitted under the vesting rules in Code section 411(a)(3) through (11).
|
|
2.
|
An amendment described in Paragraph B.1 does not violate Code section 411(d)(6) to the extent: (i) it applies with respect to benefits that accrue after the applicable amendment date; or (ii) the plan amendment changes the Plan's vesting computation period and it satisfies the applicable requirements under 29 CFR 2530.203-2(c).
|
C.
|
Mid-Year Xxxx. The Plan shall not fail to satisfy the requirements to be a Code section 401(k) safe harbor plan merely because of mid-year changes to implement a qualified Xxxx contribution program (as defined in Code section 402A) or the hardship withdrawals described in part III of Notice 2007-7.
|
D.
|
Mandatory Rollovers - Xxxx. Eligible rollover distributions from a Participant's Xxxx Elective Deferral Account are separately taken into account in determining whether the total amount of the Participant's Account balances under the Plan exceeds $1,000 for purposes of mandatory distributions from the Plan.
|
The undersigned agree to be bound by the terms of the forgoing addendum to the Plan and acknowledge receipt of same. This addendum is executed this 24th day of June, 2009.
