(a) Transition Rule.

(i) Auto-Escalation. Any Employee who is automatically enrolled in the NNO Union Sub-Plan in accordance with Section J4.01 (b) shall be deemed to have agreed to a wage reduction agreement directing the Employer to make Tax-Deferred Contributions for him or her to the Trust for 2% of his or her Compensation in accordance with Section 5.08 of the Base Plan. An Employee who is automatically enrolled in the NNO Union Sub-Plan and who (i) has not opted out of participation following the automatic enrollment process, or (ii) has not otherwise changed his Tax-Deferred Contribution percentage, shall be subject to Plan rules and procedures enacted under Section 5.10 of the Base Plan.

Section J4.02 Transfer, LOA and Reemployment Provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section J4.02(c):

(a) Participation after Exclusion or Leave of Absence. An Employee who becomes ineligible to actively participate in the NNO Union Sub-Plan solely on account of (i) Section J3.02 (ceasing to be in service pursuant to a Basic Labor Agreement) or (ii) an authorized leave of absence shall again be eligible to participate in the NNO Union Sub-Plan on the first day he or she is credited with one Hour of Service after he or she is again covered by a Basic Labor Agreement or he or she returns from the leave of absence, provided that he or she otherwise meets the requirements of Section J3.01. Such an Employee may commence or resume participation in the NNO Union Sub-Plan as of the first day of any payroll period following the date he or she becomes eligible to participate by enrolling pursuant to Plan procedures. Such an Employee shall be eligible to receive allocations of Retirement Account Contributions and, if applicable, Special Contributions, as of the first day of the payroll period after he or she satisfies the requirements of Section J3.01.

(b) Participation after Termination. Any Employee not described in subsection (a) who was previously eligible to participate in the Plan and (i) who is reemployed by an Employer within 12 months of the date he or she last performed an Hour of Service, (ii) who previously made any Employee contributions, received any Employer contributions, or otherwise had a vested interest in the Plan, or (iii) who is entitled by law to be re-credited with prior service and who had previously satisfied the requirements to participate in the Plan may commence or resume participation in the NNO Union Sub-Plan as of the first day of any payroll period following his or


her reemployment, provided that he or she is employed pursuant to the Basic Labor Agreement on that date and enrolls or is auto-enrolled as provided in Section J4.01. Such Employee shall be eligible to receive allocations of Retirement Account Contributions and, if applicable, Special Contributions, as of the first day of any payroll period following his or her reemployment, provided that he or she is employed pursuant to a Basic Labor Agreement on that date. Any reemployed Employee not otherwise described in this subsection (b) must satisfy the requirements of Section J3.01 (to participate under the NNO Union Sub-Plan) or ARTICLE 3 (to participate under the Base Plan). To the extent such Participant has contributions in his or her Account that are related to active participation in the Base Plan when he or she is re-employed under the NNO Union Sub-Plan, rules similar to those described in Section J4.02(c)(ii) apply except that such Participant will have to make a new contribution election.

(i) Transfer From NNO Union Sub-Plan to the Base Plan. If a Participant ceases to be an Active Participant in the NNO Union Sub-Plan pursuant to Section J3.02 (ceasing to be in service pursuant to a Basic Labor Agreement), the eligibility rules of ARTICLE 3 apply and such Participant will be immediately eligible to actively participate under the Base Plan as of his or her transfer date. As a result:

 

   

Eligibility to make Tax-Deferred Contributions, Catch-up Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, and Roth Contributions will be governed by ARTICLE 5 and ARTICLE 6 with respect to Compensation (as defined in Section 2.15) earned after the transfer date. Contribution elections in effect as of the Participant’s transfer date will remain in effect.

 

   

Eligibility to make rollover contributions will be governed by Section 5.12.

 

   

Eligibility for and vesting in Employer contributions, including Company Matching Contributions and Retirement Account Contributions (RAC), will be subject to ARICLE 5 and ARTICLE 7 with respect to Compensation (as defined in Section 2.15) earned after the transfer date.

Beneficiary and investment elections in effect as of a Participant’s transfer date will remain in effect with respect to the Participant’s Account, including contributions made to such Account while he or she was an Active Participant under the NNO Union Sub-Plan.

 

   

A Participant’s Account, including contributions made to such Account while he or she was an Active Participant under the NNO Union Sub-Plan, will be subject to the distribution, withdrawal and loan provisions


 

described in ARTICLE 10, ARTICLE 11 and ARTICLE 12, subject to the following exceptions (i) Company Matching Contributions credited to a Participant’s Account while he or she is an Active Participant in the NNO Union Sub-Plan are never an available source for in-service partial withdrawals, (ii) a loan outstanding under the NNO Union Sub-Plan as of a Participant’s transfer date will be treated as a loan outstanding under ARTICLE 12, and (iii) a hardship withdrawal taken while an Active Participant in the NNO Union Sub-Plan will be treated as a hardship withdrawal taken for purposes of Section 11.02.

(ii) Transfer From Base Plan to the NNO Union Sub-Plan. If a Participant ceases to be an Active Participant under the Base Plan but satisfies the eligibility requirements of Article J3, such Participant will be immediately eligible to actively participate in the NNO Union Sub-Plan as of the transfer date. As a result:

 

   

Eligibility to make Tax-Deferred Contributions and Catch-up Contributions will be governed by Article J5 with respect to Compensation (as defined in Section J2.03) earned after the transfer date. After-Tax Contributions, Roth Contributions and Rollover Contributions are not permitted. Contribution elections in effect as of the Participant’s transfer date will remain in effect, but any election to make After-Tax Contributions and or Roth Contributions shall be null and void.

 

   

Eligibility for and vesting in Company Matching Contributions and RAC will be subject to ARTICLE J5 and ARTICLE J7 with respect to Compensation (as defined in Section J2.03) earned after the transfer date.

 

   

Beneficiary and investment elections in effect as of the Participant’s transfer date will remain in effect with respect to the Participant’s Account, including contributions made to such Account while he or she was an Active Participant under the Base Plan.

 

   

A Participant’s Account, including contributions made to such Account while he or she was an Active Participant under the Base Plan, will be subject to the loan provisions of ARTICLE J12 as of the transfer date. A loan outstanding under the Base Plan is treated as a loan outstanding under the NNO Union Sub-Plan.
