(Must be selected if Matching Contributions are to be tested in the ADP Test for a non-401(k) Safe Harbor Plan or non-QACA Safe Harbor Plan.) Matching Contributions are Qualified Matching Contributions. 15) DOLLAR LIMIT. (Cannot use if satisfying ACP Test Safe Harbor.) The maximum Matching Contribution is (Select (a) or (b).) a) $ for a person for the Plan Year. b) $ for a person for each payroll period. (Only available if 10(a) above is selected.) NOTE: This dollar limit applies to all Matching Contributions in this Item P. 16) Additional selections for this Item have been made in Item F of the attached Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum. Q. OTHER EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND FORFEITURES. NOTE: Unless Item Q(3)(h) or (i) are selected, all of the contribution and allocation formulas in this Item Q except (3)(c) and 3(d) are design-based safe harbors under Code Section 401(a)(4), unless selections are made in Item M or R that are specifically identified as requiring nondiscrimination testing. Additionally, if more than one Employer Contribution is selected in this Item Q, the requirements to receive each Contribution selected should be the same. Providing different requirements will require testing to determine if the nondiscrimination requirement of Code Section 401(a)(4) is met. For example, a Qualified Nonelective Contribution made to each person who is an Active Participant on the last day of the payroll period and a Discretionary Contribution allocated to each person who was an Active Participant at any time during the Plan Year will require nondiscrimination testing. If the ADP Test Safe Harbor is satisfied using Qualified Nonelective Contributions or QACA Nonelective Contributions, Item O(1)(b)(ii) or (c) or Item O(2)(g)(ii) or (h), the Additional Contributions and Discretionary Contributions selected under this item should be made for or allocated to each person who is an Active Participant at any time during the Plan Year to avoid nondiscrimination testing. 1) QUALIFIED NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS. (Cannot select if ADP Test Safe Harbor is satisfied using Qualified Nonelective Contributions or QACA Nonelective Contributions for all Plan Years, Item O(1)(b)(ii) or O(2)(g)(ii).)

PROVIDE TOP-HEAVY MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated to provide the top-heavy minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04, unless otherwise specified in (f) below. In years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in Plan Section 11.02, and the minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04 is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the Employer, the allocation shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R and each person entitled to a minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04. In all other years, the allocation shall be made for each person meeting the requirements in Item R. The amount allocated shall be equal to the Discretionary Contributions multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation for all such persons. The allocation for any person who does not meet the requirements in Item R shall be limited to the amount necessary to fund the minimum contribution. In years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, the minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04 is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the Employer, and the allocation described above (or any subsequent allocation described below) would provide an allocation for any person less than the minimum contribution required for such person under Plan Section 11.04, such minimum contribution shall first be allocated to all such persons. Then any amount remaining
Restatement Effective July 1, 2022 50 Plan ID No. 1063569 ( 4-66998) shall be allocated to the remaining persons sharing in the allocation based on Annual Compensation as described above, as if they were the only persons sharing in the allocation for the Plan Year. b) INTEGRATED FORMULA. (Only available if Adopting Employers Separate Plans are not selected in Item AB.) PROVIDE TOP-HEAVY MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated to provide the top-heavy minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04, unless otherwise specified in (f) below. Subject to the overall permitted disparity limits, Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated using Annual Compensation for the Plan Year as follows: STEP ONE: This step one shall only apply in years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in Plan Section 11.02, and the minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04 is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the Employer. The allocation in this step one shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R and each person who is entitled to a minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04. Each such person’s allocation shall be an amount equal to the Discretionary Contributions multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation of all such persons. Such amount shall not exceed 3% of such person’s Annual Compensation. The allocation for any person who does not meet the requirements in Item R shall be limited to the amount necessary to fund the minimum contribution. STEP TWO: This step two shall only apply in years in which step one applies. The allocation in this step two shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be equal to any amount remaining after the allocation in step one multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation over the Integration Level to the total Annual Compensation over the Integration Level of all such persons. Such amount shall not exceed 3% of such person’s Annual Compensation over the Integration Level. For purposes of this step two, in the case of any person who has exceeded the cumulative permitted disparity limit described below, such person’s total Annual Compensation shall be taken into account and the applicable allocation limit for such person shall be 3% of such person’s total Annual Compensation. STEP THREE: The allocation in this step three shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be equal to any amount remaining after the allocation in step two multiplied by the ratio of the sum of such person’s total Annual Compensation and his Annual Compensation over the Integration Level to the total of such sums for all such persons. Such amount shall not exceed an amount equal to a percentage (equal to the Maximum Integration Rate) of the sum of such person’s total Annual Compensation and his Annual Compensation over the Integration Level.
Restatement Effective July 1, 2022 51 Plan ID No. 1063569 ( 4-66998) If steps one and two apply, the Maximum Integration Rate minus 3% shall be substituted for the Maximum Integration Rate wherever it appears in this step three. For purposes of this step three, in the case of any person who has exceeded the cumulative permitted disparity limit described below, two times such person’s total Annual Compensation shall be taken into account and the applicable allocation limit for such person shall be a percentage (equal to the Maximum Integration Rate) of two times such person’s total Annual Compensation. STEP FOUR: The allocation in this step four shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be equal to any amount remaining after the allocation in step three multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation of all such persons. The INTEGRATION LEVEL is the Taxable Wage Base as in effect on the latest Yearly Date, unless otherwise specified in (i) or (ii) below. i) $ . (Must be less than such Taxable Wage Base.) ii) % of such Taxable Wage Base. (Must be more than 19% and less than 100%.) The MAXIMUM INTEGRATION RATE shall be determined according to the following schedule: MAXIMUM INTEGRATION LEVEL INTEGRATION RATE 100% of TWB 5.7% Less than 100% but more than 80% of TWB 5.4% More than 20% of TWB but not more than 80% of TWB 4.3% Not more than 20% of TWB 5.7% "TWB" means the Taxable Wage Base as in effect on the latest Yearly Date. On any date the portion of the rate of tax under Code Section 3111(a) (in effect on the latest Yearly Date) that is attributable to old age insurance exceeds 5.7%, such rate shall be substituted for 5.7%. 5.4% and 4.3% shall be increased proportionately. OVERALL PERMITTED DISPARITY LIMITS: ANNUAL OVERALL PERMITTED DISPARITY LIMIT: Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, for any Plan Year any person eligible for an allocation under this formula benefits under another qualified plan or simplified employee pension, as defined in Code Section 408(k), maintained by the Employer or any other employer required to
Restatement Effective July 1, 2022 52 Plan ID No. 1063569 ( 4-66998) be aggregated with the Employer under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m), or (o) that provides for permitted disparity (or imputes disparity), Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated using (i) only step one, if applicable, and step four above if providing top-heavy minimum contribution and (ii) only step two in Plan Section 3.06(b) if not providing top-heavy minimum contribution. CUMULATIVE PERMITTED DISPARITY LIMIT: The cumulative permitted disparity limit for a person is 35 total cumulative permitted disparity years. Total cumulative permitted disparity years means the number of years credited to the person for allocation or accrual purposes under this Plan, any other qualified plan or simplified employee pension plan (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer or any other employer required to be aggregated with the Employer under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m), or (o). For purposes of determining the person’s cumulative permitted disparity limit, all years ending in the same calendar year are treated as the same year. If the person has not benefited under a defined benefit or target benefit plan maintained for any year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the person has no cumulative permitted disparity limit. c) AGE WEIGHTED (WAVE), PROVIDE TOP-HEAVY MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated to provide the top-heavy minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04, unless otherwise specified in (f) below. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated using Benefit Factors for the Plan Year. In years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in Plan Section 11.02, and the minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04 is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the Employer, the allocation shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R and each person entitled to a minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04. In all other years the allocation shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be an amount equal to Discretionary Contributions multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Benefit Factor to the total Benefit Factors for all such persons. The allocation for any person who does not meet the requirements in Item R shall be limited to the amount necessary to fund the minimum contribution. In years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in Plan Section 11.02, the minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04 is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the Employer, and the allocation described above (or any subsequent allocation described below) would provide an allocation for any person less than the minimum contribution required for such person in Plan Section 11.04, such minimum contribution shall first be allocated to all such persons. Then any amount remaining shall be allocated to the remaining persons sharing in the allocation based on Benefit Factors as described above, as if they were the only persons sharing in the allocation for the Plan Year. 8.5% INTEREST. The actuarial factor used to determine a person’s Benefit Factor shall be the actuarial factor for the Plan Year determined in Appendix A (based on an interest rate assumption of 8.5% and the mortality assumptions in the UP-1984 Table), unless a different appendix is specified in (i) or (ii) below. i) 7.5% INTEREST. Appendix B (based on an interest rate assumption of 7.5% and the mortality assumptions in the UP-1984 Table).

The allocation above meets the requirements in section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(1)(i)(B)(2) of the regulations, therefore a minimum gateway contribution is not required. d) PARTICIPANT GROUP ALLOCATION (COMPARABILITY), PROVIDE TOP-HEAVY MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated to provide the top-heavy minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04, unless otherwise specified in (f) below. The Employer shall notify the Plan Administrator in writing, by the due date of the Employer's tax return for the year to which the Discretionary Contribution relates, the portion of such Contribution to be allocated to each Allocation Group. Discretionary Contributions determined for an Allocation Group shall be allocated using Annual Compensation for the Plan Year to each person in the Allocation Group meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be equal to the Discretionary Contribution determined for the Allocation Group multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation of all such person’s in the Allocation Group. NOTE: In the case of a Self-employed Individual, the requirements of section 1.401(k)-1(a)(6) of the regulations continue to apply, and the allocation above shall not be such that a cash or deferred election is created for a Self-employed Individual. ALLOCATION GROUPS. The Allocation Groups shall be: (Select (i), (ii), or (iii).) i) Each Highly Compensated Employee shall be in a separate Allocation Group and all Nonhighly Compensated Employees shall be in one Allocation Group. ii) Each Employee shall be in a separate Allocation Group. iii) Specified Allocation Groups: (Complete A and B. Complete C and D, if applicable. Additional groups may be added as necessary.

PROVIDE TOP-HEAVY MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated to provide the top-heavy minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04, unless otherwise specified in (f) below. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated using a same dollar amount for the Plan Year. In years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in Plan Section 11.02, and the minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04 is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the Employer, the allocation shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R and each person entitled to a minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04. In all other years, the allocation shall be made for each person meeting the requirements in Item R. The allocation for any person who does not meet the requirements in Item R shall be limited to the amount necessary to fund the minimum contribution. In years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, the minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04 is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the Employer, and the allocation described above (or any subsequent allocation described below) would provide an allocation for any person less than the minimum contribution required for such person under Plan Section 11.04, such minimum contribution shall first be allocated to all such persons. Then any amount remaining shall be allocated in the same dollar amount to the remaining persons sharing in the allocation, as if they were the only persons sharing in the allocation for the Plan Year. f) DO NOT PROVIDE TOP-HEAVY MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. Subject to the provisions of Plan Section 3.06, Discretionary Contributions shall not be allocated to provide the top-heavy minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04. In years in which the Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, a minimum contribution shall be made in accordance with Plan Section 11.04. g) SEPARATE DISCRETIONARY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR EACH ADOPTING EMPLOYER. (Only available if a formula is selected in (a) – (e) above or (i) below is selected and a formula is specified in Item G of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum.) The Employer named in Item B and each Adopting Employer may determine different amounts of Discretionary Contributions to be allocated separately to their respective Employees.
