the Plan. The Employer may rely on the Favorable IRS Letter issued by the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service to the Prototype Sponsor as evidence that the Plan is qualified under §401 of the Code, except to the extent provided in Rev. Proc. 2000-20 and Announcement 2001-77.

If the Employer who adopts or maintains multiple plans wishes to obtain reliance with respect to the requirements of §§415 and 416 of the Code, application for a determination letter should be made to the office of Employee Plans Determinations of the Internal Revenue Service. The Employer may not be entitled to rely on the opinion letter in certain other circumstances, which are specified in the opinion letter issued with respect to the Plan of in §6 of Revenue Procedure 2000-20 and Announcement 2001-77. This Plan may only use a trust document that has been approved by the IRS for use with the Plan as a qualified trust.

Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the plan and any plan aggregated with the plan under
Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had
it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from
service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting "5-year period" for "1-year period."

individual who has not performed services for the employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account.

- Contributions under other plans. The employer may provide, in an addendum to this amendment, that the minimum benefit requirement shall be met in another plan (including another plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of

political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from
this plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified
domestic relation order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.
- 11.3
- Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to exclude hardship distributions. For purpose of the direct
rollover provisions of the plan, any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an eligible rollover distribution and the distribution may not elect to have any portion of such a
distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan.
- 11.4
- Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to include after-tax employee contributions. For purpose of the direct rollover provisions in the plan, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.
