NOTE: a. and b. must be completed so that, at any rate of Elective Deferrals, the matching contribution is at least equal to the matching contribution receivable if the Employer were making Basic Matching Contributions, but the rate of match cannot increase as deferrals increase. For example, if a. is completed to provide a match equal to 100% of deferrals up to 4% of Compensation, then b. need not be completed.

EGTRRA
AMENDMENT TO THE

LEXINGTON STATE BANK
EMPLOYEES’ 401(K) PLAN

ARTICLE I
PREAMBLE

1.1 Adoption and effective date of amendment. This amendment of the plan is adopted to reflect certain provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”). This amendment is intended as good faith compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA and is to be construed in accordance with EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder. Except as otherwise provided, this amendment shall be effective as of the first day of the first plan year beginning after December 31, 2001.

1.2 Supersession of inconsistent provisions. This amendment shall supersede the provisions of the plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this amendment.

ARTICLE II
ADOPTION AGREEMENT ELECTIONS

The questions in this Article II only need to be completed in order to override the default provisions set forth below. If all of the default provisions will apply, then these questions should be skipped.

Unless the employer elects otherwise in this Article II, the following defaults apply:

	1)		The vesting schedule for matching contributions will be a 6 year graded schedule (if the plan currently has a graded schedule that does not satisfy EGTRRA) or a 3 year cliff schedule (if the plan currently has a cliff schedule that does not satisfy EGTRRA), and such schedule will apply to all matching contributions (even those made prior to 2002).
	2)		Rollovers are automatically excluded in determining whether the $5,000 threshold has been exceeded for automatic cash-outs (if the plan is not subject to the qualified joint and survivor annuity rules and provides for automatic cash-outs). This is applied to all participants regardless of when the distributable event occurred.
	3)		The suspension period after a hardship distribution is made will be 6 months and this will only apply to hardship distributions made after 2001.
	4)		Catch-up contributions will be allowed.
	5)		For target benefit plans, the increased compensation limit of $200,000 will be applied retroactively (i.e., to years prior to 2002).

2.1 Vesting Schedule for Matching Contributions

If there are matching contributions subject to a vesting schedule that does not satisfy EGTRRA, then unless otherwise elected below, for participants who complete an hour of service in a plan year beginning after December 31, 2001, the following vesting schedule will apply to all matching contributions subject to a vesting schedule:

If the plan has a graded vesting schedule (i.e., the vesting schedule includes a vested percentage that is more than 0% and less than 100%) the following will apply:

Years of vesting service			Nonforfeitable percentage
2				20	%
3				40	%
4				60	%
5				80	%
6				100	%

If the plan does not have a graded vesting schedule, then matching contributions will be nonforfeitable upon the completion of 3 years of vesting service.

In lieu of the above vesting schedule, the employer elects the following schedule:

a.	o		3 year cliff (a participant’s accrued benefit derived from employer matching contributions shall be nonforfeitable upon the participant’s completion of three years of vesting service).
b.	o		6 year graded schedule (20% after 2 years of vesting service and an additional 20% for each year thereafter).
c.	o		Other (must be at least as liberal as a. or the b. above):

Years of vesting service			Nonforfeitable percentage
					%
					%
					%
					%
					%

The vesting schedule set forth herein shall only apply to participants who complete an hour of service in a plan year beginning after December 31, 2001, and, unless the option below is elected, shall apply to all matching contributions subject to a vesting schedule.

d. o The vesting schedule will only apply to matching contributions made in plan years beginning after December 31, 2001 (the prior schedule will apply to matching contributions made in prior plan years).

2.2 Exclusion of Rollovers in Application of Involuntary Cash-out Provisions (for profit sharing and 401(k) plans only). If the plan is not subject to the qualified joint and survivor annuity rules and includes involuntary cash-out provisions, then unless one of the options below is elected, effective for distributions made after December 31, 2001, rollover contributions will be excluded in determining the value of the participant’s nonforfeitable account balance for purposes of the plan’s involuntary cash-out rules.

	a. þ		Rollover contributions will not be excluded.
	b. o		Rollover contributions will be excluded only with respect to distributions made after                     . (Enter a date no earlier than December 31, 2001.)
	c. o		Rollover contributions will only be excluded with respect to participants who separated from service after                     . (Enter a date. The date may be earlier than December 31, 2001.)

2.3 Suspension period of hardship distributions. If the plan provides for hardship distributions upon satisfaction of the safe harbor (deemed) standards as set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv), then, unless the option below is elected, the suspension period following a hardship distribution shall only apply to hardship distributions made after December 31, 2001.

o With regard to hardship distributions made during 2001, a participant shall be prohibited from making elective deferrals and employee contributions under this and all other plans until the later of January 1, 2002, or 6 months after receipt of the distribution.

3.2 Vesting schedule. A participant’s accrued benefit derived from employer matching contributions shall vest as provided in Section 2.1 of this amendment.

ARTICLE IV
INVOLUNTARY CASH-OUTS

4.1 Applicability and effective date. If the plan provides for involuntary cash-outs of amounts less than $5,000, then unless otherwise elected in Section 2.2 of this amendment, this Article shall apply for distributions made after December 31, 2001, and shall apply to all participants. However, regardless of the preceding, this Article shall not apply if the plan is subject to the qualified joint and survivor annuity requirements of Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code.

4.2 Rollovers disregarded in determining value of account balance for involuntary distributions. For purposes of the Sections of the plan that provide for the involuntary distribution of vested accrued benefits of $5,000 or less, the value of a participant’s nonforfeitable account balance shall be determined without regard to that portion of the account balance that is attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16) of the Code. If the value of the participant’s nonforfeitable account balance as so determined is $5,000 or less, then the plan shall immediately distribute the participant’s entire nonforfeitable account balance.

Furthermore, if elected by the employer in Section 2.3 of this amendment, a participant who receives a distribution

of elective deferrals in calendar year 2001 on account of hardship shall be prohibited from making elective deferrals and employee contributions under this and all other plans until the later of January 1, 2002, or 6 months after receipt of the distribution.

ARTICLE VI
CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS

Catch-up Contributions. Unless otherwise elected in Section 2.4 of this amendment, all employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the plan implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions.

ARTICLE VII
INCREASE IN COMPENSATION LIMIT

Increase in Compensation Limit. The annual compensation of each participant taken into account in determining allocations for any plan year beginning after December 31, 2001, shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code.

Key employee means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the plan year that includes the determination date was an officer of the employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for plan years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the employer, or a 1-percent owner of the employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

3

10.2.2 Determination of present values and amounts. This Section 10.2.2 shall apply for purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of employees as of the determination date.

		a.		Distributions during year ending on the determination date. The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of 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.”
		b.		Employees not performing services during year ending on the determination date. The accrued benefits and accounts of any 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.

10.3 Minimum benefits.

10.3.1 Matching contributions. Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code 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. Employer 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 Section 401(m) of the Code.

10.3.2 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 Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) of the Code are met). The addendum should include the name of the other plan, the minimum benefit that will be provided under such other plan, and the employees who will receive the minimum benefit under such other plan.

ARTICLE XI
DIRECT ROLLOVERS

11.1 Effective date. This Article shall apply to distributions made after December 31, 2001.

11.2 Modification of definition of eligible retirement plan. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions of the plan, an eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this plan. 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 purposes 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 distributee 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 purposes 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.

DISTRIBUTION UPON SEVERANCE OF EMPLOYMENT

Unless the employer elects otherwise in this Article II, the following defaults apply:

	1.		If catch-up contributions are permitted, then the catch-up contributions are treated like any other elective deferrals for purposes of determining matching contributions under the plan.
	2.		For plans subject to the qualified joint and survivor annuity rules, rollovers are automatically excluded in determining whether the $5,000 threshold has been exceeded for automatic cash-outs (if the plan provides for automatic cash-outs). This is applied to all participants regardless of when the distributable event occurred.
	3.		The minimum distribution requirements are effective for distribution calendar years beginning with the 2002 calendar year. In addition, participants or beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year rule or the life expectancy rule in the plan applies to distributions after the death of a participant who has a designated beneficiary.
	4.		Amounts that are “deemed 125 compensation” are not included in the definition of compensation.

2.1 Exclusion of Rollovers in Application of Involuntary Cash-out Provisions. If the plan is subject to the joint and survivor annuity rules and includes involuntary cash-out provisions, then unless one of the options below is elected, effective for distributions made after December 31, 2001, rollover contributions will be excluded in determining the value of a participant’s nonforfeitable account balance for purposes of the plan’s involuntary cash-out rules.

	a. þ		Rollover contributions will not be excluded.
	b. o		Rollover contributions will be excluded only with respect to distributions made after                       (Enter a date no earlier than December 31, 2001).
	c. o		Rollover contributions will only be excluded with respect to participants who separated from service after                     . (Enter a date. The date may be earlier than December 31, 2001.)

2.3 Amendment for Section 401(a)(9) Final and Temporary Treasury Regulations.

a. Effective date. Unless a later effective date is specified below, the provisions of Article VI of this amendment will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2002 calendar year.

1

o This amendment applies for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for distribution calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year, as well as required minimum distributions for the 2002 distribution calendar year that are made on or after (leave blank if this amendment does not apply to any minimum distributions for the 2002 distribution calendar year).

b. Election to not permit Participants or Beneficiaries to Elect 5-Year Rule.

Unless elected below, Participants or beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year rule or the life expectancy rule in Sections 6.2.2 and 6.4.2 of this amendment applies to distributions after the death of a Participant who has a designated beneficiary. The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin under Section 6.2.2 of this amendment, or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or, if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death. If neither the Participant nor beneficiary makes an election under this paragraph, distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 6.2.2 and 6.4.2 of this amendment and, if applicable, the elections in Section 2.3.c of this amendment below.

 o The provision set forth above in this Section 2.3.b shall not apply. Rather, Sections 6.2.2 and 6.4.2 of this amendment shall apply except as elected in Section 2.3.c of this amendment below.

c. Election to Apply 5-Year Rule to Distributions to Designated Beneficiaries.

o If the Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, distribution to the designated beneficiary is not required to begin by the date specified in the Plan, but the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the designated beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to either the Participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

  If the above is elected, then this election will apply to:

	1. o		All distributions.
	2. o		The following distributions:                    .

d. Election to Allow Designated Beneficiary Receiving Distributions Under 5-Year Rule to Elect Life Expectancy Distributions.

 o A designated beneficiary who is receiving payments under the 5-year rule may make a new election to receive payments under the life expectancy rule until December 31, 2003, provided that all amounts that would have been required to be distributed under the life expectancy rule for all distribution calendar years before 2004 are distributed by the earlier of December 31, 2003, or the end of the 5-year period.

ARTICLE III

3.2 Rollovers disregarded in determining value of account balance for involuntary distributions. For purposes of the Sections of the plan that provide for the involuntary distribution of vested accrued benefits of $5,000 or less, the value of a participant’s nonforfeitable account balance shall be determined without regard to that portion of the account balance that is attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16) of the Code.

ARTICLE IV
HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS

Reduction of Section 402(g) of the Code following hardship distribution. If the plan provides for hardship distributions upon satisfaction of the safe harbor (deemed) standards as set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv), then effective as of the date the elective deferral suspension period is reduced from 12 months to 6 months pursuant to EGTRRA, there shall be no reduction in the maximum amount of elective deferrals that a Participant may make pursuant to Section 402(g) of the Code solely because of a hardship distribution made by this plan or any other plan of the Employer.

ARTICLE V
CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS

Catch-up Contributions. Unless otherwise elected in Section 2.2 of this amendment, effective for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2001, all employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the calendar year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the plan implementing the requirements of Sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions.

If elected in Section 2.2, catch-up contributions shall not be treated as elective deferrals for purposes of applying any Employer matching contributions under the plan.

ARTICLE VI
REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1     GENERAL RULES

6.1.1 Effective Date. Unless a later effective date is specified in Section 2.3.a of this amendment, the provisions of this amendment will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2002 calendar year.

6.1.2 Coordination with Minimum Distribution Requirements Previously in Effect. If the effective date of this amendment is earlier than calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year, required minimum distributions for 2002 under this amendment will be determined as follows. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under the Plan made to the distributee prior to the effective date of this amendment equals or exceeds the required minimum distributions determined under this amendment, then no additional distributions will be required to be made for 2002 on or after such date to the distributee. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under the Plan made to the distributee prior to the effective date of this amendment is less than the amount determined under this amendment, then required minimum distributions for 2002 on and after such date will be determined so that the total amount of required minimum distributions for 2002 made to the distributee will be the amount determined under this amendment.

6.1.3 Precedence. The requirements of this amendment will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

6.1.4 Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this amendment will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.

6.1.5 TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this amendment, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

6.2     TIME AND MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION

6.2.1 Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s required beginning date.

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

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

(b) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then, except as provided in Section 2.3 of this amendment, distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

3

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

(d) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 6.2.2, other than Section 6.2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this Section 6.2.2 and Section 2.3, unless Section 6.2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s required beginning date. If Section 6.2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.2.2(a). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s required beginning date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.2.2(a)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

6.2.3 Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of this amendment. If the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.

6.3     REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS DURING PARTICIPANT’S LIFETIME

6.3.1 Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:

(a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

(b) if the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

6.3.2 Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 6.3 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

6.4     REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER PARTICIPANT’S DEATH

6.4.1 Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as follows:

(1) The Participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(2) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

(3) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the Participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

6.4.2 Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

4

(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section 2.3, if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 6.4.1.

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

(c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.2.2(a), this Section 6.4.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

6.5     DEFINITIONS

6.5.1 Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations.

6.5.2 Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 6.2.2. The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the Participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

6.5.3 Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

6.5.4 Participant’s account balance. The account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of the dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

6.5.5 Required beginning date. The date specified in the Plan when distributions under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code are required to begin.

ARTICLE VII
DEEMED 125 COMPENSATION

For purposes of any definition of compensation under this Plan that includes a reference to amounts under Section 125 of the Code, amounts under Section 125 of the Code include any amounts not available to a Participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the Participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage. An amount will be treated as an amount under Section 125 of the Code only if the Employer does not request or collect information regarding the Participant’s other health coverage as part of the enrollment process for the health plan.

Except with respect to any election made by the employer in Article II, this amendment is hereby adopted by the prototype sponsor on behalf of all adopting employers on:

ARTICLE III
GENERAL RULES

3.1 Deferral elections. A cash or deferred arrangement (“CODA”) is an arrangement under which eligible Employees may make elective deferral elections. Such elections cannot relate to compensation that is currently available prior to the adoption or effective date of the CODA. In addition, except for occasional, bona fide administrative considerations, contributions made pursuant to such an election cannot precede the earlier of (1) the performance of services relating to the contribution and (2) when the compensation that is subject to the election would be currently available to the Employee in the absence of an election to defer.

3.2 Vesting provisions. Elective Contributions are always fully vested and nonforfeitable. The Plan shall disregard Elective Contributions in applying the vesting provisions of the Plan to other contributions or benefits under Code Section 411(a)(2). However, the Plan shall otherwise take a Participant’s Elective Contributions into account in determining the Participant’s vested benefits under the Plan. Thus, for example, the Plan shall take Elective Contributions into account in determining whether a Participant has a nonforfeitable right to contributions under the Plan for purposes of forfeitures, and for applying provisions permitting the repayment of distributions to have forfeited amounts restored, and the provisions of Code Sections 410(a)(5)(D)(iii) and 411(a)(6)(D)(iii) permitting a plan to disregard certain service completed prior to breaks-in-service (sometimes referred to as “the rule of parity”).

1

ARTICLE IV
HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Applicability. The provisions of this Article IV apply if the Plan provides for hardship distributions upon satisfaction of the deemed immediate and heavy financial need standards set forth in Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iv)(A) as in effect prior to the issuance of the Final 401(k) Regulations.

4.2 Hardship events. A distribution under the Plan is hereby deemed to be on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of an Employee if the distribution is for one of the following or any other item permitted under Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iii)(B):

(a) Expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under Code Section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income);

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

(c) Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for up to the next twelve (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));

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

(e) 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 Code Section 152(d)(1)(B)); or

(f) 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).

4.3 Reduction of Code Section 402(g) limit following hardship distribution. If the Plan provides for hardship distributions upon satisfaction of the safe harbor standards set forth in Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iii)(B) (deemed immediate and heavy financial need) and 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iv)(E) (deemed necessary to satisfy immediate need), then there shall be no reduction in the maximum amount of elective deferrals that a Participant may make pursuant to Code Section 402(g) solely because of a hardship distribution made by this Plan or any other plan of the Employer.

ARTICLE V
ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE (ADP) TEST

5.1 Targeted contribution limit. Qualified Nonelective Contributions (as defined in Regulation Section 1.401(k)-6) cannot be taken into account in determining the Actual Deferral Ratio (ADR) for a Plan Year for a Non-Highly Compensated Employee (NHCE) to the extent such contributions exceed the product of that NHCE’s Code Section 414(s) compensation and the greater of five percent (5%) or two (2) times the Plan’s “representative contribution rate.” Any Qualified Nonelective Contribution taken into account under an Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) test under Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6) (including the determination of the representative contribution rate for purposes of Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v)(B)), is not permitted to be taken into account for purposes of this Section (including the determination of the “representative contribution rate” under this Section). For purposes of this Section:

(a) The Plan’s “representative contribution rate” is the lowest “applicable contribution rate” of any eligible NHCE among a group of eligible NHCEs that consists of half of all eligible NHCEs for the Plan Year (or, if greater, the lowest “applicable contribution rate” of any eligible NHCE who is in the group of all eligible NHCEs for the Plan Year and who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year), and

(b) The “applicable contribution rate” for an eligible NHCE is the sum of the Qualified Matching Contributions (as defined in Regulation Section 1.401(k)-6) taken into account in determining the ADR for the eligible NHCE for the Plan Year and the Qualified Nonelective Contributions made for the eligible NHCE for the Plan Year, divided by the eligible NHCE’s Code Section 414(s) compensation for the same period.

Notwithstanding the above, Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are made in connection with an Employer’s obligation to pay prevailing wages under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act (46 Stat. 1494), Public Law 71-798, Service Contract Act of 1965 (79 Stat. 1965), Public Law 89-286, or similar legislation can be taken into account for a Plan Year for an NHCE to the extent such contributions do not exceed 10 percent (10%) of that NHCE’s Code Section 414(s) compensation.

2

Qualified Matching Contributions may only be used to calculate an ADR to the extent that such Qualified Matching Contributions are matching contributions that are not precluded from being taken into account under the ACP test for the Plan Year under the rules of Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii) and as set forth in Section 7.1.

5.2 Limitation on QNECs and QMACs. Qualified Nonelective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions cannot be taken into account to determine an ADR to the extent such contributions are taken into account for purposes of satisfying any other ADP test, any ACP test, or the requirements of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-3, 1.401(m)-3, or 1.401(k)-4. Thus, for example, matching contributions that are made pursuant to Regulation Section 1.401(k)-3(c) cannot be taken into account under the ADP test. Similarly, if a plan switches from the current year testing method to the prior year testing method pursuant to Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(c), Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are taken into account under the current year testing method for a year may not be taken into account under the prior year testing method for the next year.

5.3 ADR of HCE if multiple plans. The Actual Deferral Ratio (ADR) of any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee (HCE) for the Plan Year and who is eligible to have Elective Contributions (as defined in Regulation Section 1.401(k)-6) (and Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions, if treated as Elective Contributions for purposes of the ADP test) allocated to such Participant’s accounts under two (2) or more cash or deferred arrangements described in Code Section 401(k), that are maintained by the same Employer, shall be determined as if such Elective Contributions (and, if applicable, such Qualified Nonelective Contributions and/or Qualified Matching Contributions) were made under a single arrangement. If an HCE participates in two or more cash or deferred arrangements of the Employer that have different Plan Years, then all Elective Contributions made during the Plan Year being tested under all such cash or deferred arrangements shall be aggregated, without regard to the plan years of the other plans. However, for Plan Years beginning before the effective date of this Amendment, if the plans have different Plan Years, then all such cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single cash or deferred arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under the Regulations of Code Section 401(k).

5.4 Plans using different testing methods for the ADP and ACP test. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Plan may use the current year testing method or prior year testing method for the ADP test for a Plan Year without regard to whether the current year testing method or prior year testing method is used for the ACP test for that Plan Year. However, if different testing methods are used, then the Plan cannot use:

(a) The recharacterization method of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(3) to correct excess contributions for a Plan Year;

(b) The rules of Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(ii) to take Elective Contributions into account under the ACP test (rather than the ADP test); or

(c) The rules of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(v) to take Qualified Matching Contributions into account under the ADP test (rather than the ACP test).

ARTICLE VI
ADJUSTMENT TO ADP TEST

6.1 Distribution of Income attributable to Excess Contributions. Distributions of Excess Contributions must be adjusted for income (gain or loss), including an adjustment for income for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution (the “gap period”). The Administrator has the discretion to determine and allocate income using any of the methods set forth below:

(a) Reasonable method of allocating income. The Administrator may use any reasonable method for computing the income allocable to Excess Contributions, provided that the 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 Participant’s accounts. A Plan will not fail to use a reasonable method for computing the income allocable to Excess Contributions merely because the income allocable to Excess Contributions is determined on a date that is no more than seven (7) days before the distribution.

(b) Alternative method of allocating income. The Administrator may allocate income to Excess Contributions for the Plan Year by multiplying the income for the Plan Year allocable to the Elective Contributions and other amounts taken into account under the ADP test (including contributions made for the Plan Year), by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions for the Employee for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the sum of the:

	(1)		Account balance attributable to Elective Contributions and other amounts taken into account under the ADP test as of the beginning of the Plan Year, and
	(2)		Any additional amount of such contributions made for the Plan Year.

3

(c) Safe harbor method of allocating gap period income. The Administrator may use the safe harbor method in this paragraph to determine income on Excess Contributions for the gap period. Under this safe harbor method, income on Excess Contributions for the gap period is equal to ten percent (10%) of the income allocable to Excess Contributions for the Plan Year that would be determined under paragraph (b) above, multiplied by the number of calendar months that have elapsed since the end of the Plan Year. For purposes of calculating the number of calendar months that have elapsed under the safe harbor method, a corrective distribution that is made on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of a month is treated as made on the last day of the preceding month and a distribution made after the fifteenth day of a month is treated as made on the last day of the month.

(d) Alternative method for allocating Plan Year and gap period income. The Administrator may determine the income for the aggregate of the Plan Year and the gap period, by applying the alternative method provided by paragraph (b) above to this aggregate period. This is accomplished by (1) substituting the income for the Plan Year and the gap period, for the income for the Plan Year, and (2) substituting the amounts taken into account under the ADP test for the Plan Year and the gap period, for the amounts taken into account under the ADP test for the Plan Year in determining the fraction that is multiplied by that income.

6.2 Corrective contributions. If a failed ADP test is to be corrected by making an Employer contribution, then the provisions of the Plan for the corrective contributions shall be applied by limiting the contribution made on behalf of any NHCE pursuant to such provisions to an amount that does not exceed the targeted contribution limits of Section 5.1 of this Amendment, or in the case of a corrective contribution that is a Qualified Matching Contribution, the targeted contribution limit of Section 7.1 of this Amendment.

ARTICLE VII
ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE (ACP) TEST

7.1 Targeted matching contribution limit. A matching contribution with respect to an Elective Contribution for a Plan Year is not taken into account under the Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) test for an NHCE to the extent it exceeds the greatest of:

(a) five percent (5%) of the NHCE’s Code Section 414(s) compensation for the Plan Year;

(b) the NHCE’s Elective Contributions for the Plan Year; and

(c) the product of two (2) times the Plan’s “representative matching rate” and the NHCE’s Elective Contributions for the Plan Year.

For purposes of this Section, the Plan’s “representative matching rate” is the lowest “matching rate” for any eligible NHCE among a group of NHCEs that consists of half of all eligible NHCEs in the Plan for the Plan Year who make Elective Contributions for the Plan Year (or, if greater, the lowest “matching rate” for all eligible NHCEs in the Plan who are employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year and who make Elective Contributions for the Plan Year).

For purposes of this Section, the “matching rate” for an Employee generally is the matching contributions made for such Employee divided by the Employee’s Elective Contributions for the Plan Year. If the matching rate is not the same for all levels of Elective Contributions for an Employee, then the Employee’s “matching rate” is determined assuming that an Employee’s Elective Contributions are equal to six percent (6%) of Code Section 414(s) compensation.

If the Plan provides a match with respect to the sum of the Employee’s after-tax Employee contributions and Elective Contributions, then for purposes of this Section, that sum is substituted for the amount of the Employee’s Elective Contributions in subsections (b) & (c) above and in determining the “matching rate,” and Employees who make either after-tax Employee contributions or Elective Contributions are taken into account in determining the Plan’s “representative matching rate.” Similarly, if the Plan provides a match with respect to the Employee’s after-tax Employee contributions, but not Elective Contributions, then for purposes of this subsection, the Employee’s after-tax Employee contributions are substituted for the amount of the Employee’s Elective Contributions in subsections (b) & (c) above and in determining the “matching rate,” and Employees who make after-tax Employee contributions are taken into account in determining the Plan’s “representative matching rate.”

7.2 Targeted QNEC limit. Qualified Nonelective Contributions (as defined in Regulation Section 1.401(k)-6) cannot be taken into account under the Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) test for a Plan Year for an NHCE to the extent such contributions exceed the product of that NHCE’s Code Section 414(s) compensation and the greater of five percent (5%) or two (2) times the Plan’s “representative contribution rate.” Any Qualified Nonelective Contribution taken into account under an Actual Deferral Percentage (ADP) test under Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6) (including the determination of the “representative contribution rate” for purposes of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv)(B)) is not permitted to be taken into account for purposes of this Section (including the determination of the “representative contribution rate” for purposes of subsection (a) below). For purposes of this Section:

4

(a) The Plan’s “representative contribution rate” is the lowest “applicable contribution rate” of any eligible NHCE among a group of eligible NHCEs that consists of half of all eligible NHCEs for the Plan Year (or, if greater, the lowest “applicable contribution rate” of any eligible NHCE who is in the group of all eligible NHCEs for the Plan Year and who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year), and

(b) The “applicable contribution rate” for an eligible NHCE is the sum of the matching contributions (as defined in Regulation Section 1.401(m)-1(a)(2)) taken into account in determining the ACR for the eligible NHCE for the Plan Year and the Qualified Nonelective Contributions made for that NHCE for the Plan Year, divided by that NHCE’s Code Section 414(s) compensation for the Plan Year.

Notwithstanding the above, Qualified Nonelective Contributions that are made in connection with an Employer’s obligation to pay prevailing wages under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act (46 Stat. 1494), Public Law 71-798, Service Contract Act of 1965 (79 Stat. 1965), Public Law 89-286, or similar legislation can be taken into account for a Plan Year for an NHCE to the extent such contributions do not exceed 10 percent (10%) of that NHCE’s Code Section 414(s) compensation.

7.3 ACR of HCE if multiple plans. The Actual Contribution Ratio (ACR) for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee (HCE) and who is eligible to have matching contributions or after-tax Employee contributions allocated to his or her account under two (2) or more plans described in Code Section 401(a), or arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) that are maintained by the same Employer, shall be determined as if the total of such contributions was made under each plan and arrangement. If an HCE participates in two (2) or more such plans or arrangements that have different plan years, then all matching contributions and after-tax Employee contributions made during the Plan Year being tested under all such plans and arrangements shall be aggregated, without regard to the plan years of the other plans. For plan years beginning before the effective date of this Amendment, all such plans and arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single plan or arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under the Regulations of Code Section 401(m).

7.4 Plans using different testing methods for the ACP and ADP test. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Plan may use the current year testing method or prior year testing method for the ACP test for a Plan Year without regard to whether the current year testing method or prior year testing method is used for the ADP test for that Plan Year. However, if different testing methods are used, then the Plan cannot use:

(a) The recharacterization method of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(b)(3) to correct excess contributions for a Plan Year;

(b) The rules of Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(ii) to take Elective Contributions into account under the ACP test (rather than the ADP test); or

(c) The rules of Regulation Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6) to take Qualified Matching Contributions into account under the ADP test (rather than the ACP test).

ARTICLE VIII
ADJUSTMENT TO ACP TEST

8.1 Distribution of Income attributable to Excess Aggregate Contributions. Distributions of Excess Aggregate Contributions must be adjusted for income (gain or loss), including an adjustment for income for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution (the “gap period”). For the purpose of this Section, “income” shall be determined and allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1 of this Amendment, except that such Section shall be applied by substituting “Excess Contributions” with “Excess Aggregate Contributions” and by substituting amounts taken into account under the ACP test for amounts taken into account under the ADP test.

8.2 Corrective contributions. If a failed ACP test is to be corrected by making an Employer contribution, then the provisions of the Plan for the corrective contributions shall be applied by limiting the contribution made on behalf of any NHCE pursuant to such provisions to an amount that does not exceed the targeted contribution limits of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Amendment.

ARTICLE IX
SAFE HARBOR PLAN PROVISIONS

9.1 Applicability. The provisions of this Article IX apply if the Plan uses the alternative method of satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage (ADP) test set forth in Code Section 401(k)(12) (ADP Test Safe Harbor) and/or the Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) test set forth in Code Section 401(m)(11) (ACP Test Safe Harbor).

9.2 Elimination of conditions on matching contributions. Unless otherwise provided in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, the provisions of subsection (a) below shall apply. However, if the Employer so elects in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, then the provisions of subsection (b) or (c) below shall apply.

5

	(a)		Default provision. If, prior to the date this Amendment has been executed, an ADP Test Safe Harbor notice has been given for a Plan Year for which this Amendment is effective (see Amendment Section 1.1) and such notice provides that there are no allocation conditions imposed on any matching contributions under the Plan, then (1) the Plan will be an ACP Test Safe Harbor plan, provided the ACP Test Safe Harbor requirements are met and (2) the Plan will not impose any allocation conditions on matching contributions. However, if, prior to the date this Amendment has been executed, an ADP Test Safe Harbor notice has been given for a Plan Year for which this Amendment is effective and such notice provides that there are allocation conditions imposed on any matching contributions under the Plan, then the provisions of this Amendment do not modify any such allocation conditions or provisions for that Plan Year and the Plan must satisfy the ACP Test for such Plan Year using the current year testing method. With respect to any Plan Year beginning after the date this Amendment has been executed, if the Plan uses the ADP Test Safe Harbor and provides for matching contributions, then (1) the Plan will be an ACP Test Safe Harbor plan, provided the ACP Test Safe Harbor requirements are met and (2) the Plan will not impose any allocation conditions on matching contributions.
	(b)		Retention of allocation conditions. If the Employer so elects in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, then the Plan will retain any allocation conditions contained in the Plan with regard to matching contributions for any Plan Year for which this Amendment is effective. In that case, the Plan must satisfy the ACP Test for each such Plan Year.
	(c)		Elimination of allocation conditions. If the Employer so elects in Section 2.2 of this Amendment, then (1) the Plan will be an ACP Test Safe Harbor plan, provided the ACP Test Safe Harbor requirements are met, and (2) the Plan will not impose any allocation conditions on matching contributions.

9.3 Matching Catch-up contributions. If the Plan provides for ADP Test Safe Harbor matching contributions or ACP Test Safe Harbor matching contributions, then catch-up contributions (as defined in Code Section 414(v)) will be taken into account in applying such matching contributions under the Plan.

9.4 Plan Year requirement. Except as provided in Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-3(e) and 1.401(k)-3(f), and below, the Plan will fail to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) and this Section for a Plan Year unless such provisions remain in effect for an entire twelve (12) month Plan Year.

9.5 Change of Plan Year. If a Plan has a short Plan Year as a result of changing its Plan Year, then the Plan will not fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 9.4 of this Amendment merely because the Plan Year has less than twelve (12) months, provided that:

	(a)		The Plan satisfied the ADP Test Safe Harbor and/or ACP Test Safe Harbor requirements for the immediately preceding Plan Year; and
	(b)		The Plan satisfies the ADP Test Safe Harbor and/or ACP Test Safe Harbor requirements (determined without regard to Regulation Section 1.401(k)-3(g)) for the immediately following Plan Year (or for the immediately following twelve (12) months if the immediately following Plan Year is less than twelve (12) months).

9.6 Timing of matching contributions. If the ADP Test Safe Harbor contribution being made to the Plan is a matching contribution (or any ACP Test Safe Harbor matching contribution) that is made separately with respect to each payroll period (or with respect to all payroll periods ending with or within each month or quarter of a Plan Year) taken into account under the Plan for the Plan Year, then safe harbor matching contributions with respect to any elective deferrals and/or after-tax employee contributions made during a Plan Year quarter must be contributed to the Plan by the last day of the immediately following Plan Year quarter.

9.7 Exiting safe harbor matching. The Employer may amend the Plan during a Plan Year to reduce or eliminate prospectively any or all matching contributions under the Plan (including any ADP Test Safe Harbor matching contributions) provided: (a) the Plan Administrator provides a supplemental notice to the Participants which explains the consequences of the amendment, specifies the amendment’s effective date, and informs Participants that they will have a reasonable opportunity to modify their cash or deferred elections and, if applicable, after-tax Employee contribution elections; (b) Participants have a reasonable opportunity (including a reasonable period after receipt of the supplemental notice) prior to the effective date of the amendment to modify their cash or deferred elections and, if applicable, after-tax Employee contribution elections; and (c) the amendment is not effective earlier than the later of: (i) thirty (30) days after the Plan Administrator gives supplemental notice; or (ii) the date the Employer adopts the amendment. An Employer which amends its Plan to eliminate or reduce any matching contribution under this Section, effective during the Plan Year, must continue to apply all of the ADP Test Safe Harbor and/or ACP Test Safe Harbor requirements of the Plan until the amendment becomes effective and also must apply for the entire Plan Year, using current year testing, the ADP test and the ACP test.

6

9.8 Plan termination. An Employer may terminate the Plan during a Plan Year in accordance with Plan termination provisions of the Plan and this Section.

(a) Acquisition/disposition or substantial business hardship. If the Employer terminates the Plan resulting in a short Plan Year, and the termination is on account of an acquisition or disposition transaction described in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C), or if the termination is on account of the Employer’s substantial business hardship within the meaning of Code Section 412(d), then the Plan remains an ADP Test Safe Harbor and/or ACP Test Safe Harbor Plan provided that the Employer satisfies the ADP Test Safe Harbor and/or ACP Test Safe Harbor provisions through the effective date of the Plan termination.

(b) Other termination. If the Employer terminates the Plan for any reason other than as described in Section 9.7(a) above, and the termination results in a short Plan Year, the Employer must conduct the termination under the provisions of Section 9.7 above, except that the Employer need not provide Participants with the right to change their cash or deferred elections.

Except with respect to any election made by the employer in Article II, this amendment is hereby adopted by the prototype sponsor on behalf of all adopting employers on:
