Introduction

In completing this Adoption Agreement, as in connection with other matters related to this Plan, it is strongly recommended that you consult with your attorney or other tax advisor. This is especially true because if the Plan is not operated in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the options elected in this Adoption Agreement, additional taxes, penalties, and interest under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) may result.

Transamerica Retirement Solutions Corporation does not and cannot provide legal or tax advice. The Adoption Agreement and the related Plan document (the “Plan”) are not prototypes and have not been reviewed or approved by the IRS. They are intended purely as sample documents for use by your attorney in preparing your nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

The Plan is a broad document which allows a participating Employer a number of choices and options. Any capitalized terms used in this document have the meaning as set forth in the Plan Document, unless otherwise indicated. These choices and options are illustrated in this Adoption Agreement; provisions of the Plan which allow no options are not included in the Adoption Agreement. This does not necessarily mean that other alternatives are not legally permissible, but TRSC may not be able to administer such other alternatives. This Adoption Agreement states the provisions specific to your particular Plan.
