18
o b. On a pro rata basis as a percentage of Compensation of eligible Participants for the Plan Year.

o a. Equally in a uniform dollar amount to each eligible Participant.
o b. In the same dollar amount to each eligible Participant per Hour of Service or days worked that the Participant is entitled to Compensation.
o 3. Excess Integrated Allocation Formula: As an amount taking into consideration amounts contributed to Social Security using the four-step Excess Integrated Allocation Formula as described in paragraph 3.1(a) of the Plan Document; the Integration Level is defined at Section III(D) of this Adoption Agreement.
o 4. Base Integrated Allocation Formula: As an amount taking into consideration amounts contributed to Social Security using the two-step Base Integrated Allocation Formula as described in paragraph 3.1(b) of the Plan Document; to the extent that such contributions are sufficient, they shall be allocated as follows: % of each eligible Participant’s Compensation, plus % of Compensation in excess of the Integration Level defined at Section III(D) hereof. The percentage of excess Compensation may not exceed the lesser of (1) the amount first specified in this paragraph or (2) the greater of 5.7% or the percentage rate of tax under Code Section 3111(a) as in effect on the first day of the Plan Year attributable to the Old Age (OA) portion of the OASDI provisions of the Social Security Act. If the Employer specifies an Integration Level in Section III(D) which is lower than the Taxable Wage Base for Social Security purposes (SSTWB) in effect as of the first day of the Plan Year, the percentage contributed with respect to excess Compensation must be adjusted. If the Plan’s Integration Level is greater than the larger of $10,000 or 20% of the SSTWB but not more than 80% of the SSTWB, the excess percentage is 4.3%. If the Plan’s Integration Level is greater than 80% of the SSTWB but less than 100% of the SSTWB, the excess percentage is 5.4%.
Only one Plan maintained by the Employer may be integrated with Social Security. Any Plan utilizing a Safe Harbor formula as provided in Section VII of this Adoption Agreement may not apply the Safe Harbor Contributions to the integrated allocation formula.

o a. year(s) of age.
o b. Year(s) of Service determined:
o i. In the same manner as determined for eligibility.
o ii. In the same manner as determined for vesting.
o iii. Points will not be awarded with respect to Year(s) of Service in excess of .
o c. $ (not to exceed $200) of Compensation.
x 7. Additional Adopting Employers:

XI. MULTIPLE PLANS MAINTAINED BY THE EMPLOYER, LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS, AND TOP-HEAVY CONTRIBUTIONS
A. Plans Maintained By The Employer:
x 1. This is the only Plan the Employer maintains. In the event that the allocation formula results in an Excess Amount, such excess, after distribution of Employee contributions pursuant to paragraph 10.2 of the Plan Document, shall be:
x a. Placed in a suspense account for the benefit of the Participant without the crediting of gains or losses for the benefit of the Participant.
o b. Reallocated as additional Employer contributions to all other Participants to the extent that they do not have any Excess Amount.
If no method is specified, the suspense account method will be used [Plan defaults to this election].
o 2. The Employer does maintain another Plan [including a Welfare Benefit Fund or an individual medical account as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2)], under which amounts are treated as Annual Additions and has completed the proper sections below.
a. If the Participant is covered under another qualified Defined Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer:
o i. The provisions of Article X of the Plan Document will apply.
o ii. The Employer has specified below the method under which the plans will limit total Annual Additions to the Maximum Permissible Amount, and will properly reduce any Excess Amounts in a manner that precludes Employer discretion.
b. Allocation of Excess Annual Additions: In the event that the allocation formula results in an Excess Amount, such excess, after distribution of Employee contributions, shall be:
o i. Placed in a suspense account for the benefit of the Participant without the crediting of gains or losses for the benefit of the Participant.
o ii. Reallocated as additional Employer contributions to all other Participants to the extent that they do not have any Excess Amount.
If no method is specified, the suspense account method will be used [Plan defaults to this election].
B. Top-Heavy Provisions:
In the event the Plan is or becomes Top-Heavy, the minimum contribution or benefit required under Code Section 416 and paragraph 14.2 of the Plan Document relating to Top-Heavy Plans shall be satisfied in the elected manner:
x 1. The minimum contribution will be satisfied by this Plan.
25
o 2. The minimum contribution will be satisfied by (name of other Qualified Plan):
a. Minimum contribution or benefit to be provided (specify interest rates and mortality table, if applicable):
b. Employees who will receive the minimum contribution or benefit under such other Plan:
3. For any Plan Year during which the Plan is Top-Heavy, the sum of the contributions (excluding Elective Deferrals) allocated to non-Key Employees shall not be less than the amount required under the Plan Document. The eligibility of a Participant to receive Top-Heavy Contributions mirrors the eligibility for any contribution with the earliest Entry Date. Top-Heavy minimums will be allocated to:
o a. all eligible Participants [Plan defaults to this election].
o b. only eligible non-Key Employees who are Participants.
o 4. Matching Contributions shall be included when satisfying Top-Heavy minimum contributions.
XII. NONDISCRIMINATION TESTING
A Plan may use different testing methods for the ADP and ACP Tests provided the Plan does not permit recharacterization of Excess Contributions, Elective Deferrals to be used in the ACP Test, or Qualified Matching Contributions to be used in the ADP Test.
If no election is made, the Plan will use the Current Year testing method for both the ADP and ACP Tests.
A. Testing Elections:
o 1. The Plan is not subject to ADP or ACP testing. The Plan does not offer Voluntary After-tax or Required After-tax Contributions and it either meets the Safe Harbor provisions of Section VII of this Adoption Agreement, or it does not benefit any Highly Compensated Employees.
x 2. This Plan is using the Current Year testing method for purposes of the ADP Test.
x 3. This Plan is using the Current Year testing method for purposes of the ACP Test.
o 4. This Plan is using the Prior Year testing method for purposes of the ADP Test.
o 5. This Plan is using the Prior Year testing method for purposes of the ACP Test.
B. Testing Elections for the First Plan Year:
Complete only when Prior Year testing method election is made and the Employer is not using the “deemed 3%” rule.
o 1. If this is not a successor Plan, then for the first Plan Year this Plan permits any Participant to make Elective Deferrals or Xxxx 401(k) Deferrals, the ADP used in the ADP Test for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be such first Plan Year’s ADP.
o 2. If this is not a successor Plan, then for the first Plan Year this Plan (a) permits any Participant to make Employee contributions, (b) provides for Matching Contributions or (c) both, the ACP used in the ACP Test for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be such first Plan Year’s ACP.
o C. Recharacterization:
Elective Deferrals may be recharacterized as Voluntary After-tax Contributions to the extent so provided by this Plan, to satisfy the ADP Test. The Employer must have elected to permit Voluntary After-tax Contributions in the Plan for this election to be operable.
26
XIII. VESTING
Participants shall always have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in their Employee contributions (including Elective Deferrals, Catch-Up Contributions, Xxxx 401(k) Deferrals, Deemed IRA Contributions, Required After-tax Contributions, and Voluntary After-tax Contributions), Qualified Matching Contributions (“QMACs”), Qualified Non-Elective Contributions (“QNECs”) or Safe Harbor Contributions, and their investment earnings.
Each Participant shall acquire a vested and nonforfeitable percentage in his or her account balance attributable to Employer contributions and their earnings under the schedule(s) selected below except in any Plan Year during which the Plan is determined to be Top-Heavy. In any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy, the two-twenty vesting schedule [option (B)(4)] or the three-year cliff schedule [option (B)(3)] shall automatically apply unless the Employer has already elected a faster vesting schedule. If the Plan is amended to option (B)(3) or (B)(4) due to its Top-Heavy status, that vesting schedule will remain in effect even if the Plan later becomes non-Top-Heavy until the Employer executes an amendment to this Adoption Agreement.
A. Vesting Computation Period:
A Year of Service for vesting will be determined on the basis of the (choose one):
o 1. Not applicable. All contributions are fully vested.
x 2. Elapsed Time method.
o 3. Hours of Service method. A Year of Service will be credited upon completion of Hours of Service. A Year of Service for vesting purposes will not be less than one (1) Hour of Service or greater than 1,000 hours by operation of law. If left blank, the Plan will use 1,000 hours.
The computation period for purposes of determining Years of Service and Breaks in Service for purposes of computing a Participant’s nonforfeitable right to his or her account balance derived from Employer contributions:
o a. shall commence on the date on which an Employee first performs an Hour of Service for the Employer and each subsequent twelve (12) consecutive month period shall commence on the anniversary thereof.
