402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), or 457(b).
Compensation shall also include deemed Code Section 125 Compensation. Deemed Code Section 125
Compensation is an amount that is excludible under Code Section 106 that is not available to a Participant in
cash in lieu of group health coverage under a Code Section 125 arrangement solely because the Participant
is unable to certify that he has other health coverage. Amounts are deemed Code Section 125

alternative nondiscriminatory definition of Compensation in accordance with the regulations under Code
Section 414(s).

for any determination period (the period over which Compensation is determined) shall not exceed $200,000,
as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B). The cost-of-living
adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any determination period beginning with or within such
calendar year.

If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the annual compensation limit is an amount equal
to the otherwise applicable annual compensation limit multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction
is the number of months in the short determination period, and the denominator of the fraction is 12.

contributions or allocations for the current Plan Year, the Compensation for such prior determination period is
subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect for that determination period. For this purpose,

compensation limit in effect for determination periods beginning before that date is $200,000.

for purposes of determining contribution limitations under the CONTRIBUTION LIMITATION SECTION of
Article III, as modified by Code Section 415(h). The term Controlled Group, as it is used in this Plan, shall
include the term Affiliated Service Group and any other employer required to be aggregated with the
Employer under Code Section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder.
Designated Beneficiary means the individual who is designated by the Participant (or the Participant’s
surviving spouse) as the Beneficiary of the Participant’s interest under the Plan and who is the designated

Deferral Contributions, In-plan Roth Rollovers, and the portion of a Rollover Contribution from a designated

Employer Contributions shall be made without regard to Net Profits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan
shall continue to be designed to qualify as a profit sharing plan for purposes of Code Sections 401(a), 402,
412, and 417. Such Contributions shall be equal to the Employer Contributions as described below:
The Plan is a 401(k) safe harbor plan for non-union Participants and the 401(k) safe harbor provisions

Compensation as specified in an Elective Deferral Agreement. Such Elective Deferral Contribution
shall not be made before the later of (i) the adoption or effective date of the cash or deferred
arrangement (CODA) or (ii) the date the Participant signs the Elective Deferral Agreement. An
Employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan for purposes of Elective Deferral Contributions
may file an Elective Deferral Agreement with the Employer. The Participant shall modify or terminate
an Elective Deferral Agreement by filing a new Elective Deferral Agreement. An Elective Deferral
Agreement shall remain in effect until modified or terminated by the Participant. An Elective Deferral
Agreement may also be terminated according to the terms of an automatic contribution arrangement.
An Elective Deferral Agreement to start or modify Elective Deferral Contributions shall be effective as
soon as administratively feasible on or after the Participant’s Entry Date (Reentry Date, if applicable)
or any following date. An Elective Deferral Agreement must be entered into on or before the date it
is effective.
An Elective Deferral Agreement to stop Elective Deferral Contributions may be entered into on any
date. Such Elective Deferral Agreement shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible
following the date on which the Elective Deferral Agreement is entered into.
Elective Deferral Contributions made pursuant to an Elective Deferral Agreement or the terms of an
automatic contribution arrangement shall not be made earlier than the date (i) the Participant
performs the services that relate to such Elective Deferral Contributions or (ii) the Compensation
used to calculate such Elective Deferral Contributions would be payable to the Participant if not
contributed to the Plan.
Elective Deferral Contributions cannot be more than 100% of Compensation. The maximum deferral
percentage shall apply to all Elective Deferral Contributions, including Catch-up Contributions.
A Participant who is age 50 or older by the end of the taxable year shall be eligible to make Catch-up
Contributions.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 28 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




A Participant may elect to designate all or any portion of his future Elective Deferral Contributions as
Roth Elective Deferral Contributions.
The Plan provides for an automatic election to have Elective Deferral Contributions made. The
automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall be Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions and shall be
3% of Compensation. The automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall be automatically increased
as soon as administratively feasible on or after each January 1 by 1% up to a maximum automatic
Elective Deferral Contribution of 100%. The Participant may affirmatively elect a different
percentage or elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and may elect to designate all or
any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions, if Roth
Elective Deferral Contributions are allowed.
The automatic election shall apply when a Participant first becomes eligible to make Elective Deferral
Contributions (or again becomes eligible after a period during which he was not an Active
Participant).
The automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall apply to all Active Participants on each January 1
who are not making Elective Deferral Contributions (have not completed an Elective Deferral
Agreement or elected to defer 0%).

to Participants as follows. The higher automatic deferral percentage shall apply to Participants at the
time they enter or reenter the Plan on or after the effective date of such amendment.
An amendment that decreases the amount of the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall only
apply to Participants at the time they enter or reenter the Plan on or after the effective date of such
amendment. The lower automatic deferral percentage shall not apply to Participants who were
already automatically enrolled as of the effective date of such amendment.
The Participant shall be provided a notice that explains the automatic election and his right to elect a
different rate of Elective Deferral Contributions or to elect not to make Elective Deferral
Contributions, and his right to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as
Roth Elective Deferral Contributions, if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are allowed. The notice
shall include the procedure for exercising those rights and the timing for implementing any such
elections. The Participant shall be given a reasonable period thereafter to elect a different rate of
Elective Deferral Contributions or to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and to
designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral
Contributions, if allowed.

rate of Elective Deferral Contributions or to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and his
right to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral
Contributions, if allowed. The notice shall include the procedure for exercising those rights and the

The dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) was $15,000 for taxable years beginning in
2006. After 2006, the $15,000 limit is adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living
increases under Code Section 402(g)(4). Any such adjustments will be in multiples of $500.
Catch-up Contributions for a Participant for a taxable year may not exceed the dollar limit on Catch-
up Contributions under Code Section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) for the taxable year. The dollar limit on Catch-
up Contributions under Code Section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) was $5,000 for taxable years beginning in 2006.
After 2006, the $5,000 limit is adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases
under Code Section 414(v)(2)(C). Any such adjustments will be in multiples of $500.
Elective Deferral Contributions are 100% vested and nonforfeitable.
(b) The Employer shall make Matching Contributions for non-union Participants in an amount equal to
100% of Elective Deferral Contributions.

for the payroll period. Matching Contributions are made for all persons who were Active Participants
at any time during that payroll period.
Elective Deferral Contributions that are Catch-up Contributions shall be matched.

based on Annual Compensation or Compensation for the Plan Year) before the end of the Plan Year. Such
Contributions that are made for or allocated to each person who was an Active Participant at any time during
the Plan Year shall be allocated when made in a manner that approximates the allocation that would
otherwise have been made as of the last day of the Plan Year. Succeeding allocations shall take into
account amounts previously allocated for the Plan Year. The percentage of the Employer Contribution
allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year shall be the same percentage that would have been allocated to
him if the entire allocation had been made as of the last day of the Plan Year. Excess allocations shall be
forfeited and reallocated as necessary to provide the percentage applicable to each Participant. Any other
annual Employer Contributions made before the end of the Plan Year shall be held unallocated until the last
day of the Plan Year. Then, as of the last day of the Plan Year, the advance Contributions (and earnings)
shall be allocated according to the provisions of the ALLOCATION SECTION of this article.
A portion of the Plan assets resulting from Employer Contributions (but not more than the original amount of
those Contributions) may be returned if the Employer Contributions are made because of a mistake of fact or
are more than the amount deductible under Code Section 404 (excluding any amount which is not deductible
because the Plan is disqualified). The amount involved must be returned to the Employer within one year
after the date the Employer Contributions are made by mistake of fact or the date the deduction is
disallowed, whichever applies. Except as provided under this paragraph and in Articles VIII and X, the assets
of the Plan shall never be used for the benefit of the Employer and are held for the exclusive purpose of
providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and for defraying reasonable expenses of
administering the Plan.

AMOUNTS SECTION of this article that have not been used to pay administrative expenses, shall be used to

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 33 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




If a Participant again becomes an Eligible Employee after receiving a distribution which caused all of his
Nonvested Account to be forfeited, he shall have the right to repay to the Plan the entire amount of the
distribution he received (excluding any amount of such distribution resulting from Participant Contributions
and Rollover Contributions). The repayment must be made in a single sum (repayment in installments is not

gains or losses. If no amount is to be repaid because the Participant was deemed to have received a
distribution or only received a distribution of Participant Contributions or Rollover Contributions, and he again

image_2.jpgSECTION of Article XI is not being provided by other contributions to this Plan or another plan of the
Employer, and the allocation described above would provide an allocation for any person less than the

the employee’s regular working hours, or Compensation for services outside the employee’s regular
working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar
payments, and, absent a Severance from Employment, the payments would have been paid to the
employee while the employee continued in employment with the Employer.
Any payments not described above shall not be considered Compensation if paid after Severance
from Employment, even if they are paid by the later of 2 1/2 months after the date of Severance from
Employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of Severance from Employment.
Back pay, within the meaning of section 1.415(c)-2(g)(8) of the regulations, shall be treated as

Compensation paid or made available during such Limitation Year shall include amounts that would
otherwise be included in Compensation but for an election under Code Section 125(a), 132(f)(4),
402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), or 457(b).
Compensation shall also include deemed Code Section 125 Compensation. Deemed Code Section
125 Compensation is an amount that is excludible under Code Section 106 that is not available to a
Participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage under a Code Section 125 arrangement solely
because the Participant is unable to certify that he has other health coverage. Amounts are deemed
Code Section 125 Compensation only if the Employer does not request or otherwise collect
information regarding the Participant’s other health coverage as part of the enrollment process for
the health plan. Compensation shall not include amounts paid as Compensation to a nonresident alien, as defined in
Code Section 7701(b)(1)(B), who is not a Participant in the Plan to the extent the Compensation is
excludible from gross income and is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States.
Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation means $40,000, automatically adjusted under Code
Section 415(d) effective January 1 of each year, as published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. The
new limitation shall apply to Limitation Years ending with or within the calendar year of the date of
the adjustment, but a Participant’s Annual Additions for a Limitation Year cannot exceed the currently
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 36 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




applicable dollar limitation (as in effect before the January 1 adjustment) prior to January 1.
However, after a January 1 adjustment is made, Annual Additions for the entire Limitation Year are
permitted to reflect the dollar limitation as adjusted on January 1.
Employer means the employer that adopts this Plan, and all members of a controlled group of
corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b) as modified by Code Section 415(h)), all commonly
controlled trades or businesses (as defined in Code Section 414(c), as modified, except in the case
of a brother-sister group of trades or businesses under common control, by Code Section 415(h)), or
affiliated service groups (as defined in Code Section 414(m)) of which the adopting employer is a
part, and any other entity required to be aggregated with the employer pursuant to Code Section
414(o).
Limitation Year means the consecutive 12-month period ending on the last day of each Plan Year,
including corresponding consecutive 12-month periods before the original effective date of the Plan.
All qualified plans maintained by the Employer must use the same Limitation Year. If the Limitation
Year is other than the calendar year, execution of this Plan (or any amendment to this Plan changing
the Limitation Year) constitutes the Employer’s adoption of a written resolution electing the Limitation
Year. If the Limitation Year is amended to a different consecutive 12-month period, the new
Limitation Year must begin on a date within the Limitation Year in which the amendment is made.
Maximum Annual Addition means, except for catch-up contributions described in Code Section
414(v), the Annual Addition that may be contributed or allocated to a Participant’s Account under the
Plan for any Limitation Year. This amount shall not exceed the lesser of:
(1) The Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation, or
(2) 100 percent of the Participant’s Compensation for the Limitation Year.
A Participant’s Compensation for a Limitation Year shall not include Compensation in excess of the
limitation under Code Section 401(a)(17) that is in effect for the calendar year in which the Limitation
Year begins.
The compensation limitation referred to in (2) shall not apply to an individual medical benefit account
(as defined in Code Section 415(l)); or a post-retirement medical benefits account for a key
employee (as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(1)).
If a short Limitation Year is created because of an amendment changing the Limitation Year to a
different consecutive 12-month period, the Maximum Annual Addition will not exceed the Defined
Contribution Dollar Limitation multiplied by the following fraction:
Number of months (including any fractional parts of a month)
in the short Limitation Year
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12
If the Plan is terminated as of a date other than the last day of the Limitation Year, the Plan is treated
as if the Plan was amended to change the Limitation Year and create a short Limitation Year ending
on the date the Plan is terminated.
If a short Limitation Year is created, the limitation under Code Section 401(a)(17) shall be prorated in
the same manner as the Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 37 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg Predecessor Employer means, with respect to a Participant, a former employer if the Employer
maintains a plan that provides a benefit which the Participant accrued while performing services for
the former employer. Predecessor Employer also means, with respect to a Participant, a former
entity that antedates the Employer if, under the facts and circumstances, the Employer constitutes a
continuation of all or a portion of the trade or business of the former entity.
Severance from Employment means an employee has ceased to be an employee of the Employer
maintaining the plan. An employee does not have a Severance from Employment if, in connection
with a change of employment, the employee’s new employer maintains the plan with respect to the
employee.
(b) If the Participant does not participate in another defined contribution plan, as defined in section
1.415(c)-1(a)(2)(i) of the regulations (without regard to whether the plan(s) have been terminated)
maintained by the Employer, the amount of Annual Additions that may be credited to the
Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of the Maximum Annual
Addition or any other limitation contained in this Plan. If the Employer Contribution that would
otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account would cause the Annual Additions
for the Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Annual Addition, the amount contributed or allocated
shall be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Annual
Addition.
(c) If, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under another defined contribution plan, as
defined in section 1.415(c)-1(a)(2)(i) of the regulations, (without regard to whether the plan(s) have
been terminated) maintained by the Employer that provides an Annual Addition during any Limitation
Year, the Annual Additions that may be credited to a Participant’s Account under this Plan for any
such Limitation Year will not exceed the Maximum Annual Addition, reduced by the Annual Additions
credited to a Participant’s account under the other defined contribution plan(s) for the same
Limitation Year. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant under the other defined
contribution plan(s) maintained by the Employer are less than the Maximum Annual Addition, and the
Employer Contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account
under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year to exceed this limitation, the
amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so that the Annual Additions under all such plans
and funds for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Annual Addition. If the Annual Additions
with respect to the Participant under the other defined contribution plan(s) in the aggregate are equal
to or greater than the Maximum Annual Addition, no amount will be contributed or allocated to the
Participant’s Account under this Plan for the Limitation Year.
(d) The limitation of this section shall be determined and applied taking into account the rules in
subparagraph (e) below.
(e) Other Rules
(1) Aggregating Plans. For purposes of applying the limitations of this section for a Limitation
Year, all defined contribution plans (as defined in section 1.415(c)-1(a)(2)(i) of the
regulations and without regard to whether the plan(s) have been terminated) ever
maintained by the Employer and all defined contribution plans of a Predecessor Employer (in
the Limitation Year in which such Predecessor Employer is created) under which a
Participant receives Annual Additions are treated as one defined contribution plan.

(2) Break-up of Affiliated Employers. The Annual Additions under a formerly affiliated plan (as
defined in section 1.415(f)-1(b)(2)(ii) of the regulations) of the Employer are taken into
account for purposes of applying the limitations of this section for the Limitation Year in
which the cessation of affiliation took place.




image_2.jpg(3) Previously Unaggregated Plans. The limitations of this section are not exceeded for the first
Limitation Year in which two or more existing plans, which previously were not required to be
aggregated pursuant to section 1.415(f) of the regulations, are aggregated, provided that no
Annual Additions are credited to a Participant after the date on which the plans are required
to be aggregated if the Annual Additions already credited to the Participant in the existing
plans equal or exceed the Maximum Annual Addition.
(4) Aggregation with Multiemployer Plan. If the Employer maintains a multiemployer plan, as
defined in Code Section 414(f), and the multiemployer plan so provides, only the Annual
Additions under the multiemployer plan that are provided by the Employer shall be treated as
Annual Additions provided under a plan maintained by the Employer for purposes of this
section.
SECTION 3.08--EXCESS AMOUNTS.
(a) Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following terms are defined:
ACP means, for a specified group of Participants (either Highly Compensated Employees or
Nonhighly Compensated Employees) for a Plan Year, the average (expressed as a percentage) of
the Contribution Percentages of the Eligible Participants in the group.
ADP means, for a specified group of Participants (either Highly Compensated Employees or
Nonhighly Compensated Employees) for a Plan Year, the average (expressed as a percentage) of
the Deferral Percentages of the Eligible Participants in the group.
Contribution Percentage means the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the Eligible Participant’s
Contribution Percentage Amounts to the Eligible Participant’s Compensation (excluding Differential
Wage Payments paid on or after January 1, 2009) for the Plan Year (whether or not the Eligible
Participant was an Eligible Participant for the entire Plan Year). For an Eligible Participant for whom
such Contribution Percentage Amounts for the Plan Year are zero, the percentage is zero.
Contribution Percentage Amounts means the sum of the Participant Contributions and Matching
Contributions (that are not Qualified Matching Contributions taken into account for purposes of the
ADP Test) made under the plan on behalf of the Eligible Participant for the plan year. Contribution
Percentage Amounts shall not include Participant Contributions withheld from Differential Wage
Payments paid on or after January 1, 2009, and Matching Contributions based on Elective Deferral
Contributions and Participant Contributions withheld from such Differential Wage Payments. For
Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, Matching Contributions cannot be taken into
account for a plan year for a Nonhighly Compensated Employee to the extent they are
disproportionate matching contributions as defined in section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii) of the regulations.
Such Contribution Percentage Amounts shall not include Matching Contributions that are forfeited (i)
to correct Excess Aggregate Contributions; (ii) because the contributions to which they relate are
Excess Elective Deferrals, Excess Contributions, or Excess Aggregate Contributions; or (iii) because
the contributions to which they relate were returned to the Participant as a Permissible Withdrawal.
Under such rules as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe, in determining the Contribution
Percentage the Employer may elect to include Qualified Nonelective Contributions under this Plan
that were not used in computing the Deferral Percentage. For Plan Years beginning on or after
January 1, 2006, Qualified Nonelective Contributions cannot be taken into account for a plan year for
a Nonhighly Compensated Employee to the extent they are disproportionate contributions as defined
in section 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(v) of the regulations. The Employer may also elect to use Elective
Deferral Contributions in computing the Contribution Percentage so long as the ADP Test is met
before the Elective Deferral Contributions are used in the ACP Test and continues to be met
following the exclusion of those Elective Deferral Contributions that are used to meet the ACP Test.




Deferral Percentage means the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of Elective Deferral Contributions
(other than Catch-up Contributions, Elective Deferral Contributions returned to the Participant as a
Permissible Withdrawal and Elective Deferral Contributions withheld from Differential Wage
Payments) under this Plan on behalf of the Eligible Participant for the Plan Year to the Eligible
Participant’s Compensation (excluding Differential Wage Payments) for the Plan Year (whether or
not the Eligible Participant was an Eligible Participant for the entire Plan Year). The Elective Deferral
Contributions used to determine the Deferral Percentage shall include Excess Elective Deferrals
(other than Excess Elective Deferrals of Nonhighly Compensated Employees that arise solely from
Elective Deferral Contributions made under this Plan or any other plans of the Employer or a
Controlled Group member), but shall exclude Elective Deferral Contributions that are used in
computing the Contribution Percentage (provided the ADP Test is satisfied both with and without
exclusion of these Elective Deferral Contributions). Under such rules as the Secretary of the
Treasury shall prescribe, the Employer may elect to include Qualified Nonelective Contributions and
Qualified Matching Contributions under this Plan in computing the Deferral Percentage. For Plan
Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, Qualified Matching Contributions cannot be taken into
account for a Plan Year for a Nonhighly Compensated Employee to the extent they are
disproportionate matching contributions as defined in section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii) of the regulations.
For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, Qualified Nonelective Contributions cannot be
taken into account for a Plan Year for a Nonhighly Compensated Employee to the extent they are
disproportionate contributions as defined in section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(iv) of the regulations. For an
Eligible Participant for whom such contributions on his behalf for the Plan Year are zero, the
percentage is zero.
Elective Deferral Contributions means any employer contributions made to a plan at the election
of a participant in lieu of cash compensation. With respect to any taxable year, a participant’s
Elective Deferral Contributions are the sum of all employer contributions made on behalf of such
participant pursuant to an election to defer under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement
(CODA) described in Code Section 401(k), any salary reduction simplified employee pension plan
described in Code Section 408(k)(6), any SIMPLE IRA plan described in Code Section 408(p), any
plan described under Code Section 501(c)(18), and any employer contributions made on behalf of a
participant for the purchase of an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b) pursuant to a salary
reduction agreement. Elective Deferral Contributions include Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions
and Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. Elective Deferral Contributions shall not include any
deferrals properly distributed as excess annual additions.
Eligible Participant means, for purposes of determining the Deferral Percentage, any Employee
who is otherwise entitled to make Elective Deferral Contributions under the terms of the plan for the
plan year. Eligible Participant means, for purposes of determining the Contribution Percentage, any
Employee who is eligible (i) to make a Participant Contribution or an Elective Deferral Contribution (if
the Employer takes such contributions into account in the calculation of the Contribution
Percentage), or (ii) to receive a Matching Contribution (including forfeitures) or a Qualified Matching
Contribution. If a Participant Contribution is required as a condition of participation in the plan, any
Employee who would be a participant in the plan if such Employee made such a contribution shall be
treated as an Eligible Participant on behalf of whom no Participant Contributions are made.
Excess Aggregate Contributions means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of:
(1) The aggregate Contribution Percentage Amounts taken into account in computing the
numerator of the Contribution Percentage actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated
Employees for such Plan Year, over

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 40 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




(2) The maximum Contribution Percentage Amounts permitted by the ACP Test (determined by
hypothetically reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in
order of their Contribution Percentages beginning with the highest of such percentages).
Such determination shall be made after first determining Excess Elective Deferrals and then
determining Excess Contributions.
Excess Contributions means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of:
(1) The aggregate amount of employer contributions actually taken into account in computing
the Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over
(2) The maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the ADP Test (determined by
hypothetically reducing contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in
the order of the Deferral Percentages, beginning with the highest of such percentages).
Excess Elective Deferrals means those Elective Deferral Contributions of a Participant that either
(i) are made during the Participant’s taxable year and exceed the dollar limitation under Code
Section 402(g) or (ii) are made during a calendar year and exceed the dollar limitation under Code
Section 402(g) for the Participant’s taxable year beginning in such calendar year, counting only
Elective Deferral Contributions made under this Plan and any other plan, contract, or arrangement
maintained by the Employer. If the Plan provides for Catch-up Contributions in such taxable year,
the dollar limitation shall be increased by the dollar limit on Catch-up Contributions under Code
Section 414(v).
Excess Elective Deferrals shall be treated as Annual Additions, as defined in the CONTRIBUTION
LIMITATION SECTION of this article, under the Plan, unless such amounts are distributed no later
than the first April 15 following the close of the Participant’s taxable year.
Matching Contributions means employer contributions made to this or any other defined
contribution plan, or to a contract described in Code Section 403(b), on behalf of a participant on
account of a Participant Contribution made by such participant, or on account of a participant’s
Elective Deferral Contributions, under a plan maintained by the Employer or a Controlled Group
member.
Participant Contributions means contributions (other than Roth Elective Deferral Contributions)
made to the plan by or on behalf of a participant that are included in the participant’s gross income in
the year in which made and that are maintained under a separate account to which the earnings and
losses are allocated.
Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions means a participant’s Elective Deferral Contributions that are not includible in the participant’s gross income at the time deferred.
Qualified Matching Contributions means Matching Contributions that are nonforfeitable when
made to the plan and that are distributable only in accordance with the distribution provisions
applicable to Elective Deferral Contributions, to the extent Qualified Matching Contributions can be
distributed under such distribution provision.
Qualified Nonelective Contributions means any employer contributions (other than Matching
Contributions) that an Employee may not elect to have paid to him in cash instead of being
contributed to the plan and that are nonforfeitable when made to the plan and that are distributable

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 41 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpgonly in accordance with the distribution provisions applicable to Elective Deferral Contributions, to
the extent Qualified Nonelective Contributions can be distributed under such distribution provision.
Roth Elective Deferral Contributions means a participant’s Elective Deferral Contributions that are
not excludible from the participant’s gross income at the time deferred and have been irrevocably
designated as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions by the participant in his elective deferral
agreement. Whether an Elective Deferral Contribution is not excludible from a participant’s gross
income will be determined in accordance with section 1.401(k)-1(f)(2) of the regulations. In the case
of a self-employed individual, an Elective Deferral Contribution is not excludible from gross income
only if the individual does not claim a deduction for such amount.
(b) Excess Elective Deferrals. A Participant may assign to this Plan any Excess Elective Deferrals
made during a taxable year of the Participant by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing on or
before the first following March 1 of the amount of the Excess Elective Deferrals to be assigned to
the Plan. A Participant is deemed to notify the Plan Administrator of any Excess Elective Deferrals
that arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferral Contributions made to this Plan and any
other plan, contract, or arrangement of the Employer or a Controlled Group member. The
Participant’s claim for Excess Elective Deferrals shall be accompanied by the Participant’s written
statement that if such amounts are not distributed, such Excess Elective Deferrals will exceed the
limit imposed on the Participant by Code Section 402(g) (including, if applicable, the dollar limitation
on Catch-up Contributions under Code Section 414(v)) for the year in which the deferral occurred.
The Excess Elective Deferrals assigned to this Plan cannot exceed the Elective Deferral
Contributions allocated under this Plan for such taxable year.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Elective Deferral Contributions in an amount equal
to the Excess Elective Deferrals assigned to this Plan, plus any income and minus any loss allocable
thereto, shall be distributed no later than April 15 to any Participant to whose Account Excess
Elective Deferrals were assigned for the preceding year and who claims Excess Elective Deferrals
for such taxable year or calendar year.
Distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s
Account resulting from Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions and Roth Elective Deferral
Contributions in the same proportion that such Contributions were made for the applicable year,
unless the Participant elects a different order of distribution.
The Excess Elective Deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or loss. The income or loss allocable
to such Excess Elective Deferrals shall be equal to the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s
Elective Deferral Contributions for the taxable year in which the excess occurred multiplied by a
fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the Excess Elective Deferrals. The denominator of the
fraction is the closing balance without regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable
year (as of the end of such taxable year) of the Participant’s Account resulting from Elective Deferral
Contributions.
For purposes of determining income or loss on Excess Elective Deferrals for taxable years beginning
on or after January 1, 2006, any Excess Elective Deferrals, in addition to any adjustment for income
or loss for the taxable year in which the excess occurred, shall be adjusted for income or loss for the
gap period between the end of such taxable year and the date of distribution. Such income or loss
allocable to the gap period shall be equal to 10% of the income or loss allocable to the Excess
Elective Deferrals for the taxable year multiplied by the number of complete months (counting a
partial month of 16 days or more as a complete month) in the gap period.
For purposes of determining income or loss on Excess Elective Deferrals for taxable years beginning
on or after January 1, 2008, no adjustment shall be made for income or loss for the gap period.




image_2.jpgAny Matching Contributions that were based on the Elective Deferral Contributions distributed as
Excess Elective Deferrals, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be forfeited.
(c) ADP Test. As of the end of each Plan Year after Excess Elective Deferrals have been determined,
the Plan must satisfy the ADP Test. The ADP Test shall be satisfied using the prior year testing
method or the current year testing method, as elected by the Employer in subparagraph (e) of this
section.
(1) Prior Year Testing Method. The ADP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the prior year’s ADP for Eligible
Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year must
satisfy one of the following tests:
(i) The ADP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the prior year’s ADP for Eligible
Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year
multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The ADP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year:
A. shall not exceed the prior year’s ADP for Eligible Participants who were
Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year multiplied by 2,
and
B. the difference between such ADPs is not more than 2.
If this is not a successor plan, for the first Plan Year the Plan permits any Participant to make
Elective Deferral Contributions, for purposes of the foregoing tests, the prior year’s
Nonhighly Compensated Employees’ ADP shall be 3 percent or the Plan Year’s ADP for
these Eligible Participants, as elected by the Employer in subparagraph (e) of this section.
(2) Current Year Testing Method. The ADP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are
Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the ADP for Eligible Participants
who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year must satisfy one of the
following tests:
(i) The ADP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ADP for Eligible Participants who
are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The ADP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year:
A. shall not exceed the ADP for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly
Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 2, and
B. the difference between such ADPs is not more than 2.
If the Employer has elected to use the current year testing method, that election cannot be
changed unless (i) the Plan has been using the current year testing method for the
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 43 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




preceding five Plan Years, or if less, the number of Plan Years the Plan has been in
existence; or (ii) if as a result of a merger or acquisition described in Code Section
410(b)(6)(C)(i), the Employer maintains both a plan using the prior year testing method and
a plan using the current year testing method and the change is made within the transition
period described in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)(ii).
A Participant is a Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he meets the definition
of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. Similarly, a Participant is a
Nonhighly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he does not meet the definition of a
Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year.
The Deferral Percentage for any Eligible Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the
Plan Year and who is eligible to have Elective Deferral Contributions (and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions, or both, if treated as Elective Deferral
Contributions for purposes of the ADP Test) allocated to his account under two or more
arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) that are maintained by the Employer or a Controlled
Group member shall be determined as if such Elective Deferral Contributions (and, if applicable,
such Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions, or both) were made
under a single arrangement. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more cash or
deferred arrangements of the Employer or of a Controlled Group member that have different plan
years, all Elective Deferral Contributions made during the Plan Year shall be aggregated. For Plan
Years beginning before 2006, all such cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same
calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement. The foregoing notwithstanding, certain plans
shall be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under the regulations of Code Section
401(k).
In the event this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if
aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of
such Code sections only if aggregated with this Plan, then this section shall be applied by
determining the Deferral Percentage of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. If more
than 10 percent of the Employer’s Nonhighly Compensated Employees are involved in a plan
coverage change as defined in section 1.401(k)-2(c)(4) of the regulations, then any adjustments to
the Nonhighly Compensated Employee ADP for the prior year shall be made in accordance with
such regulations if the Employer has elected to use the prior year testing method. Plans may be
aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(k) only if they have the same plan year and use the
same testing method for the ADP Test.
For purposes of the ADP Test, Elective Deferral Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions,
and Qualified Matching Contributions must be made before the end of the 12-month period
immediately following the Plan Year to which the contributions relate.
If the Plan Administrator should determine during the Plan Year that the ADP Test is not being met,
the Plan Administrator may limit the amount of future Elective Deferral Contributions of the Highly
Compensated Employees.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus
any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed no later than 12 months after the last day of a Plan
Year to Participants to whose Accounts such Excess Contributions were allocated for such Plan
Year, except to the extent such Excess Contributions are classified as Catch-up Contributions.
Excess Contributions are allocated to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amounts
of employer contributions taken into account in calculating the ADP Test for the year in which the
excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of such
employer contributions and continuing in descending order until all of the Excess Contributions have




been allocated. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more cash or deferred
arrangements of the Employer or of a Controlled Group member, the amount distributed shall not
exceed the amount of the employer contributions taken into account in calculating the ADP Test and
made to this Plan for the year in which the excess arose. If Catch-up Contributions are allowed for
the Plan Year being tested, to the extent a Highly Compensated Employee has not reached his
Catch-up Contribution limit under the Plan for such year, Excess Contributions allocated to such
Highly Compensated Employee are Catch-up Contributions and will not be treated as Excess
Contributions. If such excess amounts (other than Catch-up Contributions) are distributed more than
2 1/2 months after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess amounts arose, a 10 percent
excise tax shall be imposed on the employer maintaining the plan with respect to such amounts.
Excess Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions, as defined in the CONTRIBUTION
LIMITATION SECTION of this article, even if distributed.
The Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss. The income or loss allocable to
such Excess Contributions allocated to each Participant shall be equal to the income or loss
allocable to the Participant’s Elective Deferral Contributions (and, if applicable, Qualified Nonelective
Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions, or both) for the Plan Year in which the excess
occurred multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the Excess Contributions. The
denominator of the fraction is the closing balance without regard to any income or loss occurring
during such Plan Year (as of the end of such Plan Year) of the Participant’s Account resulting from
Elective Deferral Contributions (and Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching
Contributions, or both, if such contributions are included in the ADP Test).
For purposes of determining income or loss on Excess Contributions beginning with the 2006 Plan
Year, any Excess Contributions, in addition to any adjustment for income or loss for the Plan Year in
which the excess occurred, shall be adjusted for income or loss for the gap period between the end
of such Plan Year and the date of distribution. Such income or loss allocable to the gap period shall
be equal to 10% of the income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year
multiplied by the number of complete months (counting a partial month of 16 days or more as a
complete month) in the gap period.
For purposes of determining income or loss on Excess Contributions for Plan Years beginning on or
after January 1, 2008, no adjustment shall be made for income or loss for the gap period.
Excess Contributions allocated to a Participant shall be distributed from the Participant’s Account
resulting from Elective Deferral Contributions. If such Excess Contributions exceed the amount of
Excess Contributions in the Participant’s Account resulting from Elective Deferral Contributions, the
balance shall be distributed from the Participant’s Account resulting from Qualified Matching
Contributions (if applicable) and Qualified Nonelective Contributions, respectively.
Distribution of Excess Contributions shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Account
resulting from Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions and Roth Elective Deferral Contributions in the
same proportion that such Contributions were made for the applicable year, unless the Participant
elects a different order of distribution.
Any Matching Contributions that were based on the Elective Deferral Contributions distributed as
Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be forfeited.
(d) ACP Test. As of the end of each Plan Year, the Plan must satisfy the ACP Test. The ACP Test shall
be satisfied using the prior year testing method or the current year testing method, as elected by the
Employer in subparagraph (e) of this section.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 45 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(1) Prior Year Testing Method. The ACP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly
Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the prior year’s ACP for Eligible
Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year must
satisfy one of the following tests:
(i) The ACP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the prior year’s ACP for Eligible
Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year
multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The ACP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year:
A. shall not exceed the prior year’s ACP for Eligible Participants who were
Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year multiplied by 2,
and
B. the difference between such ACPs is not more than 2.
If this is not a successor plan, for the first Plan Year the Plan permits any Participant to make
Participant Contributions, provides for Matching Contributions, or both, for purposes of the
foregoing tests, the prior year’s Nonhighly Compensated Employees’ ACP shall be 3 percent
or the Plan Year’s ACP for these Eligible Participants, as elected by the Employer in
subparagraph (e) of this section.
(2) Current Year Testing Method. The ACP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are
Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the ACP for Eligible Participants
who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year must satisfy one of the
following tests:
(i) The ACP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ACP for Eligible Participants who
are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The ACP for a Plan Year for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees for the Plan Year:
A. shall not exceed the ACP for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly
Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 2, and
B. the difference between such ACPs is not more than 2.
If the Employer has elected to use the current year testing method, that election cannot be
changed unless (i) the Plan has been using the current year testing method for the
preceding five Plan Years, or if less, the number of Plan Years the Plan has been in
existence; or (ii) if as a result of a merger or acquisition described in Code Section
410(b)(6)(C)(i), the Employer maintains both a plan using the prior year testing method and
a plan using the current year testing method and the change is made within the transition
period described in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)(ii).
A Participant is a Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he meets the definition
of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. Similarly, a Participant is a




Nonhighly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he does not meet the definition of a
Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year.
The Contribution Percentage for any Eligible Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for
the Plan Year and who is eligible to have Contribution Percentage Amounts allocated to his account
under two or more plans described in Code Section 401(a) or arrangements described in Code
Section 401(k) that are maintained by the Employer or a Controlled Group member shall be
determined as if the total of such Contribution Percentage Amounts was made under each plan and
arrangement. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more such plans or
arrangements that have different plan years, all Contribution Percentage Amounts made during the
Plan Year shall be aggregated. For Plan Years beginning before 2006, all such plans and
arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single plan or
arrangement. The foregoing notwithstanding, certain plans shall be treated as separate if
mandatorily disaggregated under the regulations of Code Section 401(m).
In the event this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(m), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if
aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of
such Code sections only if aggregated with this Plan, then this section shall be applied by
determining the Contribution Percentage of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. If
more than 10 percent of the Employer’s Nonhighly Compensated Employees are involved in a plan
coverage change as defined in section 1.401(m)-2(c)(4) of the regulations, then any adjustments to
the Nonhighly Compensated Employee ACP for the prior year shall be made in accordance with
such regulations if the Employer has elected to use the prior year testing method. Plans may be
aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(m) only if they have the same plan year and use the
same testing method for the ACP Test.
For purposes of the ACP Test, Participant Contributions are considered to have been made in the
Plan Year in which contributed to the Plan. Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective
Contributions will be considered to have been made for a Plan Year if made no later than the end of
the 12-month period beginning on the day after the close of the Plan Year.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus any income
and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, if not vested, or distributed, if vested, no later
than 12 months after the last day of a Plan Year to Participants to whose Accounts such Excess
Aggregate Contributions were allocated for such Plan Year. Excess Aggregate Contributions are
allocated to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest Contribution Percentage Amounts
taken into account in calculating the ACP Test for the year in which the excess arose, beginning with
the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of such Contribution Percentage
Amounts and continuing in descending order until all of the Excess Aggregate Contributions have
been allocated. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more plans or
arrangements of the Employer or of a Controlled Group member that include Contribution
Percentage Amounts, the amount distributed shall not exceed the Contribution Percentage Amounts
taken into account in calculating the ACP Test and made to this Plan for the year in which the excess
arose. If such Excess Aggregate Contributions are distributed more than 2 1/2 months after the last
day of the Plan Year in which such excess amounts arose, a 10 percent excise tax shall be imposed
on the employer maintaining the plan with respect to such amounts.
Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions, as defined in the
CONTRIBUTION LIMITATION SECTION of this article, even if distributed.
The Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss. The income or loss
allocable to such Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to each Participant shall be equal to the
income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Contribution Percentage Amounts for the Plan Year in




image_2.jpgwhich the excess occurred multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the Excess
Aggregate Contributions. The denominator of the fraction is the closing balance without regard to
any income or loss occurring during such Plan Year (as of the end of such Plan Year) of the
Participant’s Account resulting from Contribution Percentage Amounts.
For purposes of determining income or loss on Excess Aggregate Contributions beginning with the
2006 Plan Year, any Excess Aggregate Contributions, in addition to any adjustment for income or
loss for the Plan Year in which the excess occurred, shall be adjusted for income or loss for the gap
period between the end of such Plan Year and the date of distribution. Such income or loss allocable
to the gap period shall be equal to 10% of the income or loss allocable to the Excess Aggregate
Contributions for the Plan Year multiplied by the number of complete months (counting a partial
month of 16 days or more as a complete month) in the gap period.
For purposes of determining income or loss on Excess Aggregate Contributions for Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 2008, no adjustment shall be made for income or loss for the gap
period.
Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to a Participant shall be distributed from the Participant’s
Account resulting from Participant Contributions that are not required as a condition of employment
or participation or for obtaining additional benefits from Employer Contributions. If such Excess
Aggregate Contributions exceed the balance in the Participant’s Account resulting from such
Participant Contributions, the balance shall be forfeited, if not vested, or distributed, if vested, on a
pro rata basis from the Participant’s Account resulting from Contribution Percentage Amounts.
(e) Employer Elections. The Employer has made an election to use the current year testing method.
SECTION 3.09--401(k) SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS.
The provisions of this section shall only apply to non-union Participants.
The Plan is a 401(k) safe harbor plan. In accordance with sections 1.401(k)-1(e)(7) and 1.401(m)-1(c)(2) of
the regulations, the Employer cannot use ADP (and ACP testing, if applicable) for a Plan Year in which it is
intended for the Plan through its written terms to be an ADP Test Safe Harbor (and ACP Test Safe Harbor, if
applicable) and the Employer fails to satisfy the requirements of such safe harbors for the Plan Year, unless
the 401(k) safe harbor election is revoked as provided in (e) below.
(a) Rules of Application.
(1) To satisfy the requirements to be a 401(k) safe harbor plan, a Plan must: (i) satisfy the notice
requirements and contribution requirements of this section; and (ii) apply the 401(k) safe
harbor provisions for the entire 12-month Plan Year, unless a short Plan Year exception in
(2) below applies.
Any provisions relating to the ADP Test in the EXCESS AMOUNTS SECTION of this article
do not apply for any Plan Year in which the provisions of this section apply unless the plan is
amended to revoke the 401(k) safe harbor provisions during the Plan Year in accordance
with (e) below. Any provisions relating to the ACP Test in the EXCESS AMOUNTS
SECTION of this article do not apply with respect to Matching Contributions for any Plan
Year in which the provisions of this section apply unless the Plan is amended to revoke the
401(k) safe harbor provisions during the Plan Year in accordance with (e) below.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 48 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(2) Short Plan Year Exceptions. The provisions of this section shall not apply unless the Plan
Year is 12 months long except as provided below:
(i) In the case of the first Plan Year of a newly established plan (other than a successor
plan), the Plan Year is at least 3 months long (or any shorter period if the Employer
is a newly established employer that establishes the Plan as soon as
administratively feasible after the Employer came into existence).
(ii) In the case of a cash or deferred arrangement that is added to an existing profit
sharing, stock bonus, or pre-ERISA money purchase pension plan for the first time
during a plan year, provided the Plan is not a successor plan and the cash or
deferred arrangement is made effective no later than 3 months prior to the end of
the Plan Year. The Plan may not be an ACP Test Safe Harbor for such Plan Year
unless the existing Plan did not provide for Matching Contributions and the
amendment providing for Matching Contribution is made effective at the same time
as the adoption of the cash or deferred arrangement.
(iii) If the Plan has a short Plan Year as a result of changing its Plan Year, provided that
the Plan satisfied the ADP Test Safe Harbor requirements and ACP Test Safe
Harbor requirements, if applicable, for the immediately preceding Plan Year and the
Plan satisfies the ADP Test Safe Harbor requirements and ACP Test Safe Harbor
requirements, if applicable, (determined without regard to the revocation of 401(k)
safe harbor election described in (e) below) for the immediately following Plan Year
(or for the immediately following 12 months if the immediately following Plan Year is
less than 12 months).
(iv) If the Plan has a short Plan Year due to Plan termination, provided that the Plan
satisfies the ADP Test Safe Harbor requirements and ACP Test Safe Harbor
requirements, if applicable, through the date of termination and either:
A. the Plan would satisfy the requirements of the revocation of 401(k) safe
harbor election described in (e) below, treating the termination of the Plan
as a reduction or suspension of Qualified Matching Contributions, other than
the requirement that Active Participants have a reasonable opportunity to
change the amount of their Elective Deferral Contributions; or
B. the Plan termination is in connection with a transaction described in Code
Section 410(b)(6)(C) or the Employer incurs a substantial business hardship
comparable to a substantial business hardship described in Code Section
412(c).
(3) To the extent that any other provision of the Plan is inconsistent with the provisions of this
section, the provisions of this section shall govern.
(b) ADP Test Safe Harbor.
(1) Contributions. The Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Nonelective
Contributions as provided in the EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION of this article.
The Employer shall pay to the Insurer or Trustee, as applicable, such Contributions for each
Plan Year not later than the end of the 12-month period immediately following the Plan Year
for which they are deemed to be paid.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 49 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(2) Notice Requirement. At least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the beginning of
the Plan Year, the Employer shall provide each Active Participant a comprehensive notice of
his rights and obligations under the Plan, including a description of the Qualified Matching
Contributions or Qualified Nonelective Contributions that will be made to the Plan to satisfy
the ADP Test Safe Harbor.
The notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average Active
Participant.
If an Employee becomes an Active Participant after the 90th day before the beginning of the
Plan Year and does not receive the notice described above for that reason, the applicable
notice must be provided no more than 90 days before he becomes an Active Participant but
not later than the date he becomes an Active Participant.
(3) Election Periods. In addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each
Active Participant may make or modify a deferral election during the 30-day period
immediately following receipt of the notice described in (2) above.
(c) ACP Test Safe Harbor.
Matching Contributions. If the Plan is satisfying the ACP Test Safe Harbor, Matching Contributions
shall be limited as provided in the EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION of this article.
(d) ACP Test.
(1) Continued Application. If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor and the ACP Test
Safe Harbor, the Plan must still satisfy the ACP Test in the manner specified in (2) below
with respect to Participant Contributions. If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor
but not the ACP Test Safe Harbor, the Plan must satisfy the ACP Test in the manner
specified in (2) below with respect to Participant Contributions and Matching Contributions.
(2) Special Rules. If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor and the ACP Test Safe
Harbor, all Matching Contributions, with respect to all Eligible Participants, as defined in the
EXCESS AMOUNTS SECTION of this article, shall be disregarded. If the Plan is satisfying
the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Nonelective Contributions, but is not satisfying the
ACP Test Safe Harbor, such Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be disregarded.
Qualified Matching Contributions shall not be treated as being taken into account for
purposes of the ADP Test. Elective Deferral Contributions may not be taken into account for
purposes of the ACP Test.
(e) Revocation of 401(k) Safe Harbor Election.
The Employer may amend the Plan to revoke the 401(k) safe harbor election and the corresponding
Qualified Matching Contributions or Qualified Nonelective Contributions during any Plan Year, if the
following conditions are met:
(1) All Active Participants shall be provided a supplemental notice that explains the
consequences of the amendment, informs them of the effective date of the elimination of the
Qualified Matching Contributions or Qualified Nonelective Contributions, and explains the
procedures to change their Elective Deferral Agreement.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 50 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(2) The effective date of the revocation cannot be earlier than the later of (i) 30 days after the
Active Participants are given such notice, and (ii) the date the amendment revoking such
provisions is adopted.
(3) Active Participants are given a reasonable opportunity (including a reasonable period after
receipt of the supplemental notice) to change their Elective Deferral Agreement prior to the
revocation of the 401(k) safe harbor election.
(4) The elimination of the Qualified Nonelective Contributions during a Plan Year is permitted for
amendments adopted after May 18, 2009, if the Employer incurs a substantial business
hardship comparable to a substantial hardship described in Code Section 412(c).
If the 401(k) safe harbor election is revoked for the Plan Year, the Employer shall perform the ADP
Test and ACP Test, if applicable, for the entire Plan Year using the current year testing method
described in the EXCESS AMOUNTS SECTION of this article, and satisfy the Top-heavy Plan
requirements of Article XI.
The Employer shall make the Qualified Matching Contributions, if applicable, with respect to Elective
Deferral Contributions and Compensation for the portion of the Plan Year prior to the effective date
of the revocation. The Employer shall make the Qualified Nonelective Contributions, if applicable,
with respect to Compensation paid for the portion of the Plan Year through the effective date of the
revocation. The annual compensation limit applied to Compensation for purposes of the Qualified
Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be adjusted for the short
determination period as described in the definition of Compensation in the DEFINITIONS SECTION
of Article I.
(f) Top-heavy Rules. The Plan is deemed to not be a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in the DEFINITIONS
SECTION of Article XI, for a Plan Year if the exception under Code Section 416(g)(4)(H) applies for
such year.
SECTION 3.10--ELIGIBLE AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENT (EACA)
PROVISIONS.
Section 3.10 does not apply to the Plan.
SECTION 3.11--QUALIFIED AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENT (QACA)
SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS.
Section 3.11 does not apply to the Plan.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 51 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




ARTICLE IV
INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 4.01--INVESTMENT AND TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS.
The handling of Contributions and Plan assets is governed by the provisions of the Trust Agreement and any
other relevant document, such as an Annuity Contract (for the purposes of this paragraph alone, the Trust
Agreement and such other documents will each be referred to as a “document” or collectively as the
“documents”), duly entered into by or with regard to the Plan that govern such matters. To the extent
permitted by the documents, the parties named below shall direct the Contributions for investment in any of
the investment options available to the Plan under or through the documents, and may request the transfer
of amounts resulting from those Contributions between such investment options.
A Participant may not direct the investment of all or any portion of his Account in collectibles. Collectibles
mean any work of art, rug or antique, metal or gem, stamp or coin, alcoholic beverage, or other tangible
personal property specified by the Secretary of the Treasury. However, for tax years beginning after
December 31, 1997, certain coins and bullion as provided in Code Section 408(m)(3) shall not be considered
collectibles.
If a Participant has provided investment direction for all or certain specific Contributions made to his Account,
such Contributions shall be invested in accordance with such direction to the extent possible. If an
investment option selected by the Participant in that investment direction is no longer available and a new
investment option is not selected by the Participant (in lieu of the one that is no longer available) by the
deadline set by a fiduciary of the Plan (or by the date the investment option is no longer available), all
amounts currently held in the investment option that is no longer available and future Contributions directed
to such investment option by the Participant (and made after such deadline or date) shall be invested in the
appropriate default investment option, unless otherwise directed by a fiduciary of the Plan.
If an investment option selected by the Participant is no longer available for future Contributions only and a
new investment option is not selected by the Participant (in lieu of the one that is no longer available) by the
deadline set by a fiduciary of the Plan (or by the date the investment option is no longer available), all future
Contributions directed to such investment option that is not available for future Contributions (and made after
such deadline or date) shall be invested in the appropriate default investment option, unless otherwise
directed by a fiduciary of the Plan.
To the extent that a Participant who has the ability to provide investment direction (either on an ongoing
basis or in response to a notice from a fiduciary of the Plan) fails to give timely investment direction, the
amount in the Participant’s Account for which no investment direction is received shall be invested in the
appropriate default investment option, unless otherwise directed by a fiduciary of the Plan.
If the Primary Employer has investment direction, the Contributions shall be invested in accordance with
such direction. The Employer shall have investment direction for amounts that have not been allocated to
Participants. To the extent an investment option is no longer available, a fiduciary of the Plan may require
that amounts currently held in such investment option be reinvested in other investment options. To the
extent that the Employer has not given investment direction, and no Plan fiduciary gives direction regarding
the reinvestment of such amounts, the amounts held in an investment option that is no longer available or
which had been directed to be invested in an investment option that is not available for future Contributions
shall be invested in the appropriate default investment option.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 52 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




Default investment options are defined in documents duly entered into by or with regard to the Plan that
govern such matters.
At least annually, the Named Fiduciary shall review all pertinent Employee information and Plan data in order
to establish the funding policy of the Plan and to determine appropriate methods of carrying out the Plan's
objectives. The Named Fiduciary shall inform the Trustee and any Investment Manager of the Plan's short-
term and long-term financial needs so the investment policy can be coordinated with the Plan's financial
requirements.
The Participant shall direct the investment of all Contributions, other than Matching Contributions, Qualified
Nonelective Contributions, and any Discretionary Contributions for union Participants that are made in the
form of Qualifying Employer Securities, and the transfer of amounts resulting from those Contributions. The
Primary Employer shall direct the investment of such Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective
Contributions and Discretionary Contributions, and the Participant shall direct the transfer of amounts
resulting from those Contributions. A Participant may elect to transfer no more than 10% of his total Vested
Account to be reinvested in Qualifying Employer Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subsequent
reinvestment is further limited to Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and to
Discretionary Contributions for union Participants that are made in the form of Qualifying Employer
Securities.
However, the Named Fiduciary may delegate to the Investment Manager investment direction for
Contributions and amounts that are not subject to Participant direction.
All Contributions are forwarded by the Employer to (i) the Trustee to be deposited in the Trust Fund or
otherwise invested by the Trustee in accordance with the relevant documents; or (ii) the Insurer to be
deposited under the Annuity Contract, as applicable.
SECTION 4.02--INVESTMENT IN QUALIFYING EMPLOYER SECURITIES.
All or some portion of the Participant’s Account (other than Rollover Contributions) may be invested in
Qualifying Employer Securities.
If the Participant has investment control, once an investment in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund is
made available to Participants, it shall continue to be available unless the Plan is amended to disallow such
available investment. In the absence of an election to invest in Qualifying Employer Securities, Participants
shall be deemed to have elected to have their Accounts invested wholly in other investment options of the
Investment Fund. Once an election is made, it shall be considered to continue until a new election is made.
For purposes of determining the annual valuation of the Plan, and for reporting to Participants and regulatory
authorities, the assets of the Plan shall be valued at least annually on the Valuation Date which corresponds
to the last day of the Plan Year. The fair market value of Qualifying Employer Securities shall be determined
on such Valuation Date. The prices of Qualifying Employer Securities as of the date of the transaction shall
apply for purposes of valuing distributions and other transactions of the Plan to the extent such value is
representative of the fair market value of such securities in the opinion of the Plan Administrator. The value
of a Participant's Account held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may be expressed in units.
If the Qualifying Employer Securities are not publicly traded, or if an extremely thin market exists for such
securities so that reasonable valuation may not be obtained from the market place, then such securities must
be valued at least annually by an independent appraiser who is not associated with the Employer, the Plan
Administrator, the Trustee, or any person related to any fiduciary under the Plan. The independent appraiser
may be associated with a person who is merely a contract administrator with respect to the Plan, but who
exercises no discretionary authority and is not a plan fiduciary.




image_2.jpgIf there is a public market for Qualifying Employer Securities of the type held by the Plan, then the Plan
Administrator may use as the value of the securities the price at which such securities trade in such market.
If the Qualifying Employer Securities do not trade on the relevant date, or if the market is very thin on such
date, then the Plan Administrator may use for the valuation the next preceding trading day on which the
trading prices are representative of the fair market value of such securities in the opinion of the Plan
Administrator.
Cash dividends payable on the Qualifying Employer Securities shall be reinvested in additional shares of
such securities. In the event of any cash or stock dividend or any stock split, such dividend or split shall be
credited to the Accounts based on the number of shares of Qualifying Employer Securities credited to each
Account as of the payable date of such dividend or split.
All purchases of Qualifying Employer Securities shall be made at a price, or prices, which, in the judgment of
the Plan Administrator, do not exceed the fair market value of such securities.
In the event that the Trustee acquires Qualifying Employer Securities by purchase from a “disqualified
person” as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(2) or from a “party-in-interest” as defined in ERISA Section
3(14), the terms of such purchase shall contain the provision that in the event there is a final determination
by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor, or court of competent jurisdiction that the fair
market value of such securities as of the date of purchase was less than the purchase price paid by the
Trustee, then the seller shall pay or transfer, as the case may be, to the Trustee an amount of cash or shares
of Qualifying Employer Securities equal in value to the difference between the purchase price and such fair
market value for all such shares. In the event that cash or shares of Qualifying Employer Securities are paid
or transferred to the Trustee under this provision, such securities shall be valued at their fair market value as
of the date of such purchase, and interest at a reasonable rate from the date of purchase to the date of
payment or transfer shall be paid by the seller on the amount of cash paid.
The Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to sell, resell, or otherwise dispose of Qualifying Employer
Securities to any person, including the Employer, provided that any such sales to any disqualified person or
party-in-interest, including the Employer, will be made at not less than the fair market value and no
commission will be charged. Any such sale shall be made in conformance with ERISA Section 408(e).
The Employer is responsible for compliance with any applicable Federal or state securities law with respect
to all aspects of the Plan. If the Qualifying Employer Securities or interest in this Plan are required to be
registered in order to permit investment in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund as provided in this
section, then such investment will not be effective until the later of the effective date of the Plan or the date
such registration or qualification is effective. The Employer, at its own expense, will take or cause to be
taken any and all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such registration or qualification.
Further, if the Trustee is directed to dispose of any Qualifying Employer Securities held under the Plan under
circumstances which require registration or qualification of the securities under applicable Federal or state
securities laws, then the Employer will, at its own expense, take or cause to be taken any and all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such registration or qualification. The Employer is responsible
for all compliance requirements under Section 16 of the Securities Act.
Diversification Requirements.
The diversification requirements below apply for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2007.
An applicable individual (as defined in section 1.401(a)(35)-1(b) of the regulations) is permitted to elect to
direct any publicly traded qualifying employer securities (as defined in Code Section 401(a)(35)(G)(v)) held in
his Account under the Plan to be reinvested in other investment options offered under the Plan with respect
to the portion of his Account that is subject to Code Section 401(a)(35)(B) or (C). The Employer may permit




image_2.jpgdiversification of amounts invested in qualifying employer securities earlier than required as long as the
earlier time period is applied consistently to all applicable individuals.
The Plan shall offer at least three investment options, other than Qualifying Employer Securities, to which the
applicable individual may direct all or any portion of his Account invested in Qualifying Employer Securities,
and each investment option must be diversified and have materially different risk and return characteristics
that satisfy the requirements of section 2550.404c-1(b)(3) of the Department of Labor regulations. The Plan
may limit the time for divestment and reinvestment to periodic, reasonable opportunities occurring no less
frequently than quarterly. The Plan may not impose any restrictions or conditions with respect to the
investment of Qualifying Employer Securities that are not imposed on the investment options offered under
the Plan, except as provided in section 1.401(a)(35)-1(e) of the regulations.
For Qualifying Employer Securities held under the Plan in a Plan Year beginning before January 1, 2007, the
diversification rights described above shall only apply to the applicable percentage of the number of shares
of those securities as stated below:
(a) The applicable percentage is 33% for the first Plan Year to which Code Section 401(a)(35) applies.
(b) The applicable percentage is 66% for the second Plan Year to which Code Section 401(a)(35)
applies.
(c) The applicable percentage is 100% for all subsequent Plan Years.
If there is more than one class of securities held under the Plan, the transition rule above shall apply
separately with respect to each class. The transition rule above does not apply to Participants who are age
55 or older and have completed at least three years of service (as defined in section 1.401(a)(35)-1(c)(3) of
the regulations) prior to the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2005.
A notice must be provided to each applicable individual that describes the divestiture rights and the
importance of diversifying the investment of retirement plan assets. The Employer shall provide the notice to
all applicable individuals no later than 30 days before the date on which the applicable individuals are eligible
to exercise their right to diversify.
Voting and Tender Rights.
Voting rights with respect to Qualifying Employer Securities will be passed through to Participants.
Participants will be allowed to direct the voting rights of Qualifying Employer Securities for any matter put to
the vote of shareholders. Before each meeting of shareholders, the Employer shall cause to be sent to each
person with power to control such voting rights a copy of any notice and any other information provided to
shareholders and, if applicable, a form for instructing the Trustee how to vote at such meeting (or any
adjournment thereof) the number of full and fractional shares subject to such person’s voting control. The
Trustee may establish a deadline in advance of the meeting by which such forms must be received in order
to be effective.
Each Participant shall be entitled to one vote for each share credited to his Account.
If some or all of the Participants have not directed or have not timely directed the Trustee on how to vote,
then the Trustee shall vote such Qualifying Employer Securities in the same proportion as those shares of
Qualifying Employer Securities for which the Trustee has received proper direction for such matter.
The Trustee shall hold the Participant’s individual directions with respect to voting rights in confidence and,
except as required by law, shall not divulge or release such individual directions to anyone associated with




the Employer. The Employer may require verification of the Trustee’s compliance with the directions
received from Participants by any independent auditor selected by the Employer, provided that such auditor
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such individual directions.
The Employer may develop procedures to facilitate the exercise of votes, such as the use of facsimile
transmissions for the Participants located in physically remote areas.
Tender rights or exchange offers for Qualifying Employer Securities will be passed through to Participants.
As soon as practicable after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer for Qualifying Employer
Securities, the Employer shall cause each person with power to control the response to such tender or
exchange offer to be advised in writing the terms of the offer and, if applicable, to be provided with a form for
instructing the Trustee, or for revoking such instruction, to tender or exchange shares of Qualifying Employer
Securities, to the extent permitted under the terms of such offer. In advising such persons of the terms of the
offer, the Employer may include statements from the board of directors setting forth its position with respect
to the offer.
If some or all of the Participants have not directed or have not timely directed the Trustee on how to tender,
then the Trustee shall tender such Qualifying Employer Securities in the same proportion as those shares of
Qualifying Employer Securities for which the Trustee has received proper direction for such matter.
If the tender or exchange offer is limited so that all of the shares that the Trustee has been directed to tender
or exchange cannot be sold or exchanged, the shares that each Participant directed to be tendered or
exchanged shall be deemed to have been sold or exchanged in the same ratio that the number of shares
actually sold or exchanged bears to the total number of shares that the Trustee was directed to tender or
exchange.
The Trustee shall hold the Participant’s individual directions with respect to tender decisions in confidence
and, except as required by law, shall not divulge or release such individual directions to anyone associated
with the Employer. The Employer may require verification of the Trustee’s compliance with the directions
received from Participants by any independent auditor selected by the Employer, provided that such auditor
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such individual directions.
The Employer may develop procedures to facilitate the exercise of tender rights, such as the use of facsimile
transmissions for the Participants located in physically remote areas.

ARTICLE V
BENEFITS
SECTION 5.01--RETIREMENT BENEFITS.
On a Participant’s Retirement Date, his Vested Account shall be distributed to him according to the
distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI and the provisions of the SMALL AMOUNTS SECTION of
Article X.
SECTION 5.02--DEATH BENEFITS.
If a Participant dies before his Annuity Starting Date, his Vested Account shall be distributed according to the
distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI and the provisions of the SMALL AMOUNTS SECTION of
Article X.
SECTION 5.03--VESTED BENEFITS.
If an Inactive Participant’s Vested Account is not payable under the SMALL AMOUNTS SECTION of Article
X, he may elect, but is not required, to receive a distribution of any part of his Vested Account after he has a
Severance from Employment. A distribution under this paragraph shall be a retirement benefit and shall be
distributed to the Participant according to the distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI.
A Participant may not elect to receive a distribution under the provisions of this section after he again
becomes an Employee until he subsequently has a Severance from Employment and meets the
requirements of this section.
A Participant who has been performing Qualified Military Service for a period of more than 30 days is
deemed to have had a severance from employment (as described in Code Section 414(u)(12)(B)(i)) for
purposes of requesting a distribution of his Vested Account resulting from Elective Deferral Contributions.
The Plan will suspend Elective Deferral Contributions and Participant Contributions for six months after
receipt of the distribution. If the Participant is also eligible to receive a Qualified Reservist Distribution and
the distribution could be either type of distribution, the distribution will be treated as a Qualified Reservist
Distribution.
If an Inactive Participant does not receive an earlier distribution, upon his Retirement Date or death, his
Vested Account shall be distributed according to the provisions of the RETIREMENT BENEFITS SECTION
or the DEATH BENEFITS SECTION of this article.
The Nonvested Account of an Inactive Participant who has had a Severance from Employment shall remain
a part of his Account until it becomes a Forfeiture. However, if he again becomes an Employee so that his
Vesting Percentage can increase, the Nonvested Account may become a part of his Vested Account.
SECTION 5.04--WHEN BENEFITS START.
(a) Unless otherwise elected, benefits shall begin no later than the 60th day following the close of the
Plan Year in which the latest date below occurs:
(1) The date the Particiant attains age 65 (or Normal Retirement Age, if earlier).

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 57 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




(2) The 10th anniversary of the Participant's earliest Entry Date.
(3) The date the Participant terminates service with the Employer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of a Participant to consent to a distribution while a benefit
is immediately distributable, within the meaning of the ELECTION PROCEDURES SECTION of
Article VI, shall be deemed to be an election to defer the start of benefits sufficient to satisfy this
section.
The Participant may elect to have benefits begin after the latest date for beginning benefits described
above, subject to the following provisions of this section. The Participant shall make the election in
writing. Such election must be made before his Normal Retirement Date or the date he has a
Severance from Employment, if later. The Participant shall not elect a date for beginning benefits or
a form of distribution that would result in a benefit payable when he dies which would be more than
incidental within the meaning of governmental regulations.
Benefits shall begin on an earlier date if otherwise provided in the Plan. For example, the
Participant’s Retirement Date or Required Beginning Date, as defined in the DEFINITIONS
SECTION of Article VII.
(b) The Participant's Vested Account resulting from Elective Deferral Contributions, Qualified
Nonelective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, QACA Matching Contributions, and
QACA Nonelective Contributions may not be distributed earlier than Severance from Employment,
death, or disability. However, such amount may be distributed upon:
(1) Termination of the Plan as permitted in Article VIII.
(2) The attainment of age 59 1/2 if such distribution is permitted in the WITHDRAWAL
BENEFITS SECTION of this article.
(3) The attainment of Normal Retirement Age, provided such age is at least age 59 1/2 and
such distribution is permitted in the definition of Normal Retirement Date in the
DEFINITIONS SECTION of Article I.
(4) A federally declared disaster, where resulting legislation authorizes such a distribution.
The Participant's Vested Account resulting from Elective Deferral Contributions may also be
distributed:
(5) As a hardship withdrawal, if such distribution is permitted in the WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS
SECTION of this article.
(6) As a Qualified Reservist Distribution, if such distribution is permitted in the WITHDRAWAL
BENEFITS SECTION of this article.
(7) If the Participant is deemed to have had a severance from employment as described in Code
Section 414(u)(12)(B)(i), if such distribution is permitted in the VESTED BENEFITS
SECTION of this article.
All distributions that may be made pursuant to one or more of the foregoing distributable events will
be a retirement benefit and shall be distributed to the Participant according to the distribution of
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 58 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpgbenefits provisions of Article VI. In addition, distributions that are triggered by the termination of the
Plan must be made in a lump sum. A lump sum shall include a distribution of an annuity contract.
SECTION 5.05--WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS.
A request for withdrawal shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Employer
shall prescribe for this purpose (including by means of voice response or other electronic means under
circumstances the Employer permits). Withdrawals shall be a retirement benefit and shall be distributed to
the Participant according to the distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI. A forfeiture shall not occur
solely as a result of a withdrawal.
Withdrawal of Rollover Contributions. A Participant may withdraw any part of his Vested Account resulting
from Rollover Contributions. A Participant may make such a withdrawal at any time.
Withdrawal after Age 59 1/2. A Participant who has attained age 59 1/2 may withdraw any part of his Vested
Account resulting from the following Contributions:
Elective Deferral Contributions
Matching Contributions Additional Contributions Discretionary Contributions
A Participant may make such a withdrawal at any time.
Financial Hardship Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw any part of his Vested Account resulting from
Elective Deferral Contributions in the event of hardship due to an immediate and heavy financial need.
Withdrawals from the Participant's Account resulting from Elective Deferral Contributions shall be limited to
the amount of the Participant's Elective Deferral Contributions plus income allocable thereto credited to his
Account as of December 31, 1988.
Immediate and heavy financial need shall be limited to: (i) expenses incurred or necessary for medical care
that would be deductible under Code Section 213(a) (determined without regard to whether the expenses
exceed the stated limit on adjusted gross income); (ii) the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
principal residence for the Participant; (iii) payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board
expenses, for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, his spouse, children,
or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and
(d)(1)(B)); (iv) payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from, or foreclosure on the
mortgage of, the Participant’s principal residence; (v) payments for funeral or burial expenses for the
Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, child, or dependent (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard
to Code Section 152(d)(1)(B)); (vi) expenses to repair damage to the Participant’s principal residence that
would qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether
the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income); or (vii) any other distribution which is deemed by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue to be made on account of immediate and heavy financial need as
provided in Treasury regulations.
No withdrawal shall be allowed which is not necessary to satisfy such immediate and heavy financial need.
Such withdrawal shall be deemed necessary only if all of the following requirements are met: (i) the
distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need (including amounts
necessary to pay any Federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from
the distribution); (ii) the Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all
nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Employer; and (iii) the Plan, and all
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 59 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpgother plans maintained by the Employer, provide that the Participant's elective contributions and participant
contributions will be suspended for at least six months after receipt of the hardship distribution. The Plan will
suspend elective contributions and participant contributions for six months as provided in the preceding
sentence.
A Participant shall not cease to be an Eligible Participant, as defined in the EXCESS AMOUNTS SECTION
of Article III, merely because his elective contributions or participant contributions are suspended.
Qualified Reservist Distribution. A Participant may withdraw any part of his Vested Account resulting from
Elective Deferral Contributions if such distribution meets the requirements to be a Qualified Reservist
Distribution.
SECTION 5.06--LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS.
Loans shall be made available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis.
For purposes of this section, and unless otherwise specified, Participant means any Participant or
Beneficiary who is a party-in-interest as defined in ERISA. Loans shall not be made to Highly Compensated
Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other Participants.
A loan to a Participant shall be a Participant-directed investment of his Account. The loan is a Trust Fund
investment but no Account other than the borrowing Participant's Account shall share in the interest paid on
the loan or bear any expense or loss incurred because of the loan.
The portion of the Participant's Account held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may not be
redeemed for purposes of a loan.
The number of outstanding loans shall be limited to one.
No more than two loans shall be approved for any Participant in any 12-month period.
The minimum amount of any loan shall be $1,000.
Loans must be adequately secured and bear a reasonable rate of interest.
The amount of the loan shall not exceed the maximum amount that may be treated as a loan under Code
Section 72(p) (rather than a distribution) to the Participant and shall be equal to the lesser of (a) or (b) below:
(a) $50,000, reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance of loans during the one-year period
ending on the day before the new loan is made.
(b) The greater of (1) or (2), reduced by (3) below:
(1) One-half of the Participant's Vested Account (without regard to any accumulated deductible
employee contributions, as defined in Code Section 72(o)(5)(B)).
(2) $10,000.
(3) Any outstanding loan balance on the date the new loan is made.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 60 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




For purposes of this maximum, all qualified employer plans, as defined in Code Section 72(p)(4), of the
Employer and any Controlled Group member shall be treated as one plan.
The foregoing notwithstanding, the amount of such loan shall not exceed 50 percent of the amount of the
Participant’s Vested Account reduced by any outstanding loan balance on the date the new loan is made.
For purposes of this maximum, a Participant’s Vested Account does not include any accumulated deductible
employee contributions, as defined in Code Section 72(o)(5)(B). No collateral other than a portion of the
Participant’s Vested Account (as limited above) shall be accepted.
The Participant’s outstanding loan balance shall include any deemed distribution, along with accrued
interest, that has not been repaid or offset.
A Participant must obtain the consent of his spouse, if any, to the use of the Vested Account as security for
the loan. Spousal consent shall be obtained no earlier than the beginning of the 180-day period that ends on
the date on which the loan to be so secured is made. The consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the
effect of the loan, and must be witnessed by a plan representative or a notary public. Such consent shall
thereafter be binding with respect to the consenting spouse or any subsequent spouse with respect to that
loan. A new consent shall be required if the Vested Account is used for collateral upon renegotiation,
extension, renewal, or other revision of the loan. No consent shall be required if the plan is not subject to the
survivor annuity requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417.
If a valid spousal consent has been obtained in accordance with the above, or spousal consent is not
required, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the portion of the Participant’s Vested
Account used as a security interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to the Participant shall
be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the Vested Account payable at the time of
death or distribution, but only if the reduction is used as repayment of the loan. If spousal consent is
required and less than 100 percent of the Participant’s Vested Account (determined without regard to the
preceding sentence) is payable to the surviving spouse, then the Vested Account shall be adjusted by first
reducing the Vested Account by the amount of the security used as repayment of the loan, and then
determining the benefit payable to the surviving spouse.
Each loan shall bear a reasonable fixed rate of interest to be determined by the Loan Administrator. In
determining the interest rate, the Loan Administrator shall take into consideration fixed interest rates
currently being charged by commercial lenders for loans of comparable risk on similar terms and for similar
durations, so that the interest will provide for a return commensurate with rates currently charged by
commercial lenders for loans made under similar circumstances. The Loan Administrator shall not
discriminate among Participants in the matter of interest rates; but loans granted at different times may bear
different interest rates in accordance with the current appropriate standards.
The loan shall by its terms require that repayment (principal and interest) be amortized in level payments, not
less frequently than quarterly, over a period not extending beyond five years from the date of the loan.
If the loan is used to acquire a dwelling unit, which within a reasonable time (determined at the time the loan
is made) will be used as the principal residence of the Participant, the repayment period may extend beyond
five years from the date of the loan, but the extended period shall be the lesser of 20 years or a repayment
period consistent with commercial home loan practices.
The Participant shall make an application for a loan in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the
Employer shall prescribe for this purpose (including by means of voice response or other electronic means
under circumstances the Employer permits). The application must specify the amount and duration
requested.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 61 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




Information contained in the application for the loan concerning the income, liabilities, and assets of the
Participant will be evaluated to determine whether there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will
be able to satisfy payments on the loan as due.
Each loan shall be fully documented in the form of a promissory note signed by the Participant for the face
amount of the loan, together with interest determined as specified above.
There will be an assignment of collateral to the Plan executed at the time the loan is made.
In those cases where repayment through payroll deduction is available, installments are so payable, and a
payroll deduction agreement shall be executed by the Participant at the time the loan is made. If the
Participant has previously been treated as having received a deemed distribution and the subsequent loan is
being made before the deemed distribution, along with accrued interest, has been repaid or offset, a payroll
deduction agreement shall be required. If a payroll deduction agreement is required because of a previous
deemed distribution and the Participant later revokes such agreement, the outstanding loan balance at the
time of the revocation shall be treated as a deemed distribution.
Where payroll deduction is not available, payments in cash are to be timely made. Any payment that is not
by payroll deduction shall be made payable to the Employer or the Trustee, as specified in the promissory
note, and delivered to the Loan Administrator, including prepayments, service fees and penalties, if any, and
other amounts due under the note.
The promissory note may provide for reasonable late payment penalties and service fees. Any penalties or
service fees shall be applied to all Participants in a nondiscriminatory manner. If the promissory note so
provides, such amounts may be assessed and collected from the Account of the Participant as part of the
loan balance.
Each loan may be paid prior to maturity, in part or in full, without penalty or service fee, except as may be set
out in the promissory note.
The Plan may suspend loan payments for a period not exceeding one year during which an approved unpaid
leave of absence occurs other than a military leave of absence. The Loan Administrator shall provide the
Participant a written explanation of the effect of the suspension of payments upon his loan.
If a Participant separates from service (or takes a leave of absence) from the Employer because of service in
the military and does not receive a distribution of his Vested Account, the Plan may suspend loan payments
until the Participant’s completion of military service or until the Participant’s fifth anniversary of
commencement of military service, if earlier, as permitted under Code Section 414(u). The Loan
Administrator shall provide the Participant a written explanation of the effect of his military service upon his
loan.
If any payment of principal and interest, or any portion thereof, remains unpaid for more than 90 days after
due, the loan shall be in default. For purposes of Code Section 72(p), the Participant shall then be treated as
having received a deemed distribution regardless of whether or not a distributable event has occurred.
Upon default, the Plan has the right to pursue any remedy available by law to satisfy the amount due, along
with accrued interest, including the right to enforce its claim against the security pledged and execute upon
the collateral as allowed by law. The entire principal balance whether or not otherwise then due, along with
accrued interest, shall become immediately due and payable without demand or notice, and subject to
collection or satisfaction by any lawful means, including specifically, but not limited to, the right to enforce the
claim against the security pledged and to execute upon the collateral as allowed by law.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 62 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of security or use of amounts pledged to
satisfy the amount then due shall not occur until a distributable event occurs in accordance with the Plan,
and shall not occur to an extent greater than the amount then available upon any distributable event which
has occurred under the Plan.
All reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney's fees, incurred by the Plan in
connection with any default or in any proceeding to enforce any provision of a promissory note or instrument
by which a promissory note for a Participant loan is secured, shall be assessed and collected from the
Account of the Participant as part of the loan balance.
If payroll deduction is being utilized, in the event that a Participant's available payroll deduction amounts in
any given month are insufficient to satisfy the total amount due, there will be an increase in the amount taken
subsequently, sufficient to make up the amount that is then due. If any amount remains past due more than
90 days, the entire principal amount, whether or not otherwise then due, along with interest then accrued,
shall become due and payable, as above.
If no distributable event has occurred under the Plan at the time that the Participant’s Vested Account would
otherwise be used under this provision to pay any amount due under the outstanding loan, this will not occur
until the time, or in excess of the extent to which, a distributable event occurs under the Plan. An
outstanding loan will become due and payable in full 60 days after a Participant has a Severance from
Employment and ceases to be a party-in-interest as defined in ERISA or after complete termination of the
Plan.
SECTION 5.07--DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS
ORDERS.
The Plan specifically permits distributions to an Alternate Payee under a qualified domestic relations order as
defined in Code Section 414(p), at any time, irrespective of whether the Participant has attained his earliest
retirement age, as defined in Code Section 414(p), under the Plan. A distribution to an Alternate Payee
before the Participant has attained his earliest retirement age is available only if the order specifies that
distribution shall be made prior to the earliest retirement age or allows the Alternate Payee to elect a
distribution prior to the earliest retirement age.
Nothing in this section shall permit a Participant to receive a distribution at a time otherwise not permitted
under the Plan nor shall it permit the Alternate Payee to receive a form of payment not permitted under the
Plan.
The benefit payable to an Alternate Payee shall be subject to the provisions of the SMALL AMOUNTS
SECTION of Article X if the value of the benefit does not exceed the amount stated in that section.
The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified status of a domestic
relations order. Upon receiving a domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall promptly notify the
Participant and each Alternate Payee named in the order, in writing, of the receipt of the order and the Plan’s
procedures for determining the qualified status of the order. Within a reasonable period of time after
receiving the domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall determine the qualified status of the order
and shall notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee, in writing, of its determination. The Plan
Administrator shall provide notice under this paragraph by mailing to the individual’s address specified in the
domestic relations order, or in a manner consistent with Department of Labor regulations. The Plan
Administrator may treat as qualified any domestic relations order entered before January 1, 1985,
irrespective of whether it satisfies all the requirements described in Code Section 414(p).
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 63 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




If any portion of the Participant’s Vested Account is payable during the period the Plan Administrator is
making its determination of the qualified status of the domestic relations order, a separate accounting shall
be made of the amount payable. If the Plan Administrator determines the order is a qualified domestic
relations order within 18 months of the date amounts are first payable following receipt of the order, the
payable amounts shall be distributed in accordance with the order. If the Plan Administrator does not make
its determination of the qualified status of the order within the 18-month determination period, the payable
amounts shall be distributed in the manner the Plan would distribute if the order did not exist and the order
shall apply prospectively if the Plan Administrator later determines the order is a qualified domestic relations
order.
The Plan shall make payments or distributions required under this section by separate benefit checks or
other separate distribution to the Alternate Payee(s).

image_2.jpgARTICLE VI
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS
SECTION 6.01--AUTOMATIC FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION.
Unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a qualified election within the election period (see
the ELECTION PROCEDURES SECTION of this article), the automatic form of benefit payable to or on
behalf of a Participant is determined as follows:
(a) Retirement Benefits. The automatic form of retirement benefit for a Participant who does not die
before his Annuity Starting Date shall be a single sum payment.
(b) Death Benefits. The automatic form of death benefit for a Participant who dies before his Annuity
Starting Date shall be a single sum payment to the Participant's Beneficiary.
SECTION 6.02--OPTIONAL FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION.
(a) Retirement Benefits. The optional forms of retirement benefit shall be the following:
• A single sum payment
• An in-kind distribution for the portion of a Participant's Account that is held in the Qualifying
Employer Securities Fund
Election of an optional form is subject to the qualified election provisions of the ELECTION
PROCEDURES SECTION of this article and the distribution requirements of Article VII.
(b) Death Benefits. The optional form of death benefit is a single sum payment.
Election of an optional form is subject to the qualified election provisions of the ELECTION
PROCEDURES SECTION of this article and the distribution requirements of Article VII.
SECTION 6.03--ELECTION PROCEDURES.
The Participant or Beneficiary shall make any election under this section in writing. The Plan Administrator
may require such individual to complete and sign any necessary documents as to the provisions to be made.
Any election permitted under (a) and (b) below shall be subject to the qualified election provisions of (c)
below.
(a) Retirement Benefits. A Participant may elect his Beneficiary and may elect to have retirement
benefits distributed under any of the optional forms of retirement benefit available in the OPTIONAL
FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION SECTION of this article.
(b) Death Benefits. A Participant may elect his Beneficiary and may elect to have death benefits
distributed under any of the optional forms of death benefit available in the OPTIONAL FORMS OF

a Participant.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 65 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(c) Qualified Election. The Participant or Beneficiary may make an election at any time during the
election period. The Participant or Beneficiary may revoke the election made (or make a new
election) at any time and any number of times during the election period. An election is effective only
if it meets the consent requirements below.
(1) Election Period for Retirement Benefits. The Participant may make an election as to
retirement benefits at any time before the Annuity Starting Date.
(2) Election Period for Death Benefits. A Participant may make an election as to death benefits
at any time before he dies. The Beneficiary's election period begins on the date the
Participant dies and ends on the date benefits begin.
(3) Consent to Election. If the Participant’s Vested Account exceeds the amount stated in the
SMALL AMOUNTS SECTION of Article X, any benefit that is immediately distributable
requires the consent of the Participant.
The consent of the Participant to a benefit that is immediately distributable must not be made
before the date the Participant is provided with the notice of the ability to defer the
distribution. Such consent shall be in writing.
The consent shall not be made more than 180 days (90 days for Plan Years beginning
before January 1, 2007) before the Annuity Starting Date. The consent of the Participant
shall not be required to the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Code Section
401(a)(9) or 415.
In addition, upon termination of this Plan, if the Plan does not offer an annuity option
(purchased from a commercial provider), and if the Employer (or any entity within the same
Controlled Group) does not maintain another defined contribution plan (other than an
employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(7)), the Participant’s
Account balance will, without the Participant’s consent, be distributed to the Participant.
However, if any entity within the same Controlled Group maintains another defined
contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code Section
4975(e)(7)) the Participant’s Account will be transferred, without the Participant’s consent, to
the other plan if the Participant does not consent to an immediate distribution.
A benefit is immediately distributable if any part of the benefit could be distributed to the
Participant before the Participant attains the older of Normal Retirement Age or age 62.
Spousal consent is needed to name a Beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse. If the
Participant names a Beneficiary other than his spouse, the spouse has the right to limit
consent only to a specific Beneficiary. The spouse can relinquish such right. Such consent
shall be in writing. The spouse's consent shall be witnessed by a plan representative or
notary public. The spouse's consent must acknowledge the effect of the election, including
that the spouse had the right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary and that the
relinquishment of such right was voluntary. Unless the consent of the spouse expressly
permits designations by the Participant without a requirement of further consent by the
spouse, the spouse's consent must be limited to the Beneficiary, class of Beneficiaries, or
contingent Beneficiary named in the election.
Spousal consent is not required, however, if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of
the plan representative that the consent of the spouse cannot be obtained because there is
no spouse or the spouse cannot be located. A spouse's consent under this paragraph shall




image_2.jpgnot be valid with respect to any other spouse. A Participant may revoke a prior election
without the consent of the spouse. Any new election will require a new spousal consent,
unless the consent of the spouse expressly permits such election by the Participant without
further consent by the spouse. A spouse's consent may be revoked at any time within the
Participant's election period.
SECTION 6.04--NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.
Optional Forms of Retirement Benefit and Right to Defer. The Plan Administrator shall furnish to the
Participant a written explanation of the right of the Participant to defer distribution until such time it is no
longer immediately distributable. Such notice shall include a written explanation of the optional forms of
retirement benefit in the OPTIONAL FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION SECTION of this article, including a
general description of the material features and, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2006, a
description of the consequences of not deferring the distribution.
The Plan Administrator shall furnish the written explanation by a method reasonably calculated to reach the
attention of the Participant no less than 30 days, and no more than 180 days (90 days for Plan Years
beginning before January 1, 2007), before the Annuity Starting Date.
However, distribution may begin less than 30 days after the notice described in this subparagraph is given,
provided the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that he has a right to a period of at least 30
days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and if
applicable, a particular distribution option), and the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects
a distribution.

ARTICLE VII
REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 7.01--APPLICATION.
The optional forms of distribution are only those provided in Article VI. An optional form of distribution shall
not be permitted unless it meets the requirements of this article. The timing of any distribution must meet the
requirements of this article.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this article, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to
receive required minimum distributions (described in the REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS SECTION
of this article) for 2009 but for the enactment of Code Section 401(a)(9)(H), and who would have satisfied
that requirement by receiving distributions that are (i) equal to the 2009 required minimum distributions or (ii)
one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 required
minimum distributions) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the
Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant’s Designated
Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years, will not receive those required minimum distributions for 2009
unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses to receive such distributions. Solely for purposes of applying
the provisions of the DIRECT ROLLOVERS SECTION of Article X, required minimum distributions made for
2009 will be treated as Eligible Rollover Distributions.
SECTION 7.02--DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this article, the following terms are defined:
Distribution Calendar Year means 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 that 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 (b)(2) of the REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION of this article. 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.
5-percent Owner means a Participant who is treated as a 5-percent Owner for purposes of this article. A
Participant is treated as a 5-percent Owner for purposes of this article if such Participant is a 5-percent
owner as defined in Code Section 416 at any time during the Plan Year ending with or within the calendar
year in which such owner attains age 70 1/2.
Once distributions have begun to a 5-percent Owner under this article, they must continue to be distributed,
even if the Participant ceases to be a 5-percent Owner in a subsequent year.
Life Expectancy means life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Q&A-1 in section
1.401(a)(9)-9 of the regulations.
Participant's Account Balance means 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 as of dates in the




image_2.jpg 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.
Required Beginning Date means, for a Participant who is a 5-percent Owner, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2.
Required Beginning Date means, for any Participant who is not a 5-percent Owner, April 1 of the calendar
year following the later of the calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which he
retires.
If the Plan previously provided for a Required Beginning Date based on age 70 1/2 for all Participants, the
preretirement age 70 1/2 distribution option is only eliminated with respect to Participants who reach age 70
1/2 in or after a calendar year that begins after the later of December 31, 1998, or the adoption date of the
amendment which eliminated such option. The preretirement age 70 1/2 distribution option is an optional
form of benefit under which benefits payable in a particular distribution form (including any modifications that
may be elected after benefits begin) begin at a time during the period that begins on or after January 1 of the
calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 and ends April 1 of the immediately following
calendar year.
If the Plan previously provided for a Required Beginning Date based on age 70 1/2 for all Participants, the
options available for Participants who are not 5-percent Owners and attained age 70 1/2 in calendar years
before the calendar year that begins after the later of December 31, 1998, or the adoption date of the
amendment which eliminated the preretirement age 70 1/2 distribution option shall be the following. Any
such Participant attaining age 70 1/2 in years after 1995 may elect by April 1 of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which he attained age 70 1/2 (or by December 31, 1997, in the case of a Participant
attaining age 70 1/2 in 1996) to defer distributions until April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar
year in which he retires. If no such election is made, the Participant shall begin receiving distributions by
April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which he attained age 70 1/2 (or by December 31, 1997, in
the case of a Participant attaining age 70 1/2 in 1996). Any such Participant attaining age 70 1/2 in years
prior to 1997 may elect to stop distributions that are not purchased annuities and recommence by April 1 of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which he retires. There shall be a new Annuity Starting Date
upon recommencement.
SECTION 7.03--REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a) General Rules.
(1) The requirements of this article shall apply to any distribution of a Participant’s interest and
will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. Unless otherwise
specified, the provisions of this article apply to calendar years beginning after December 31,
2002.
(2) All distributions required under this article shall be determined and made in accordance with
the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9), including the incidental death benefit
requirement in Code Section 401(a)(9)(G), and the regulations thereunder.
(b) Time and Manner of Distribution.
(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.




image_2.jpg(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:
(i) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary,
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, except to the extent that an election is made to receive distributions
in accordance with the 5-year rule under (e) below. Under the 5-year rule, 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.
(ii) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated
Beneficiary, distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of
the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant
died, except to the extent that an election is made to receive distributions in
accordance with the 5-year rule under (e) below. Under the 5-year rule, 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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 are required to begin, this (b)(2), other than (b)(2)(i), will apply as if
the surviving spouse were the Participant.
For purposes of this (b)(2) and (d) below, unless (b)(2)(iv) above applies, distributions are
considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If (b)(2)(iv) above
applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin
to the surviving spouse under (b)(2)(i) above. 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 (b)(2)(i) above), the date
distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.
(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 (c) and (d) below. 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 Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder.
(c) Required Minimum Distributions During Participant's Lifetime.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 70 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(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:
(i) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the
distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Q&A-2 in section
1.401(a)(9)-9 of the regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s
birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or
(ii) 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 Q&A-3 in
section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s
attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution
Calendar Year.
(2) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death.
Required minimum distributions will be determined under this (c) beginning with the first
Distribution Calendar Year and continuing up to, and including, the Distribution Calendar
Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.
(d) Required Minimum Distributions After Participant's Death.
(1) Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.
(i) 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:
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. 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.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 71 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(ii) 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.
(2) Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
(i) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. 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 (d)(1) above, except to the extent that an
election is made to receive distributions in accordance with the 5-year rule under (e)
below. Under the 5-year rule, 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.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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
(b)(2)(i) above, this (d)(2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
(e) Election of 5-year Rule. Participants or Beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-
year rule in (b)(2) and (d)(2) above 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 the distribution would be required to begin under (b)(2) above if no such
election is made, or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the
Participant’s (or, if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death.
SECTION 7.04--TEFRA SECTION 242(b)(2) ELECTIONS.
(a) Notwithstanding the other requirements of this article, distribution on behalf of any Participant,
including a 5-percent Owner, who has made a designation under section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity
and Fiscal Responsibility Act (a section 242(b)(2) election) may be made in accordance with all of
the following requirements (regardless of when such distribution commences):
(1) The distribution by the Plan is one that would not have disqualified such Plan under Code
Section 401(a)(9) as in effect prior to amendment by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 72 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712




(2) The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution designated by the Participant
whose interest in the Plan is being distributed or, if the Participant is deceased, by a
Beneficiary of such Participant.
(3) Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Participant or the Beneficiary, and was
made before January 1, 1984.
(4) The Participant had accrued a benefit under the Plan as of December 31, 1983.
(5) The method of distribution designated by the Participant or the Beneficiary specifies the time
at which distribution will commence, the period over which distributions will be made, and in
the case of any distribution upon the Participant’s death, the Beneficiaries of the Participant
listed in order of priority.
(b) A distribution upon death will not be covered by this transitional rule unless the information in the
designation contains the required information described above with respect to the distributions to be
made upon the death of the Participant.
(c) For any distribution which commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after December 31,
1983, the Participant, or the Beneficiary, to whom such distribution is being made, will be presumed
to have designated the method of distribution under which the distribution is being made if the
method of distribution was specified in writing and the distribution satisfies the requirements in (a)(1)
and (5) above.
(d) If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the requirements of Code
Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder. If a designation is revoked subsequent to the date
distributions are required to begin, the Plan must distribute by the end of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the revocation occurs the total amount not yet distributed which would
have been required to have been distributed to satisfy Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations
thereunder, but for the section 242(b)(2) election. For calendar years beginning after December 31,
1988, such distributions must meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements. Any
changes in the designation will be considered to be a revocation of the designation. However, the
mere substitution or addition of another Beneficiary (one not named in the designation) under the
designation will not be considered to be a revocation of the designation, so long as such substitution
or addition does not alter the period over which distributions are to be made under the designation,
directly or indirectly (for example, by altering the relevant measuring life).
(e) In the case in which an amount is transferred or rolled over from one plan to another plan, the rules
in Q&A-14 and Q&A-15 in section 1.401(a)(9)-8 of the regulations shall apply.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
The Employer expects to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the right to terminate the Plan in whole
or in part at any time upon giving written notice to all parties concerned.
The Account of each Participant shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective date of the
complete termination of the Plan. The Account of each Participant shall also be 100% vested and
nonforfeitable upon complete discontinuance of Contributions as of the effective date of the amendment to
cease Contributions or the date determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Further, the Account of each
Participant who is included in the group of Participants deemed to be affected by a partial termination of the
Plan (as determined by the Plan Administrator or a governmental entity authorized to make such
determination) shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective date of such event. The
Participant’s Vested Account shall continue to participate in the earnings credited, expenses charged, and
any appreciation or depreciation of the Investment Fund until his Vested Account is distributed.
A Participant’s Vested Account that does not result from Elective Deferral Contributions, Qualified
Nonelective Contributions, Qualified Matching Contributions, QACA Matching Contributions, and QACA
Nonelective Contributions may be distributed to the Participant after the effective date of the complete
termination of the Plan. A Participant’s Vested Account resulting from such Contributions may be distributed
upon complete termination of the Plan, but only if neither the Employer nor any Controlled Group member
maintain another defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code
Section 4975(e)(7) or 409(a), a simplified employee pension plan as defined in Code Section 408(k), a
SIMPLE IRA plan as defined in Code Section 408(p), a plan or contract that satisfies the requirements of
Code Section 403(b), or a plan described in Code Section 457(b) or (f)) at any time during the period
beginning on the date of complete termination of the Plan and ending 12 months after all assets have been
distributed from the Plan. Such distribution is made in a lump sum. A distribution under this article shall be a
retirement benefit and shall be distributed to the Participant according to the provisions of Article VI.
The Participant’s entire Vested Account shall be paid in a single sum to the Participant as of the effective
date of complete termination of the Plan if (i) the requirements for distribution of Elective Deferral
Contributions in the above paragraph are met and (ii) consent of the Participant is not required in the
ELECTION PROCEDURES SECTION of Article VI to distribute a benefit that is immediately distributable.
This is a small amounts payment. The small amounts payment is in full settlement of all benefits otherwise
payable.
Upon complete termination of the Plan, no more Employees shall become Participants and no more
Contributions shall be made.
The assets of this Plan shall not be paid to the Employer at any time, except that, after the satisfaction of all
liabilities under the Plan, any assets remaining may be paid to the Employer. The payment may not be
made if it would contravene any provision of law.

SECTION 9.01--ADMINISTRATION.
Subject to the provisions of this article, the Plan Administrator has complete control of the administration of
the Plan. The Plan Administrator has all the powers necessary for it to properly carry out its administrative
duties. Not in limitation, but in amplification of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator has complete discretion
to construe or interpret the provisions of the Plan, including ambiguous provisions, if any, and to determine
all questions that may arise under the Plan, including all questions relating to the eligibility of Employees to

Named Fiduciary for Contributions shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for (i) collecting all
Contributions, including the determination of the amount of Contributions required to be made under the
Plan, (ii) monitoring and ensuring that Contributions are timely made to the Plan, and (iii) enforcing the Plan’s

to the Plan’s legal claims for delinquent Contributions.
Unless otherwise set out in the Plan or Annuity Contract, the Plan Administrator may delegate recordkeeping
and other duties that are necessary to assist it with the administration of the Plan to any person or firm which
agrees to accept such duties. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon all tables, valuations,
certificates and reports furnished by the consultant or actuary appointed by the Plan Administrator and upon
all opinions given by any counsel selected or approved by the Plan Administrator.
The Plan Administrator shall receive all claims for benefits by Participants, former Participants, and
Beneficiaries. The Plan Administrator shall determine all facts necessary to establish the right of any
Claimant to benefits and the amount of those benefits under the provisions of the Plan. The Plan
Administrator may establish rules and procedures to be followed by Claimants in filing claims for benefits, in
furnishing and verifying proofs necessary to determine age, and in any other matters required to administer
the Plan.
SECTION 9.02--EXPENSES.
Expenses of the Plan, to the extent that the Employer does not pay such expenses, may be paid out of the
assets of the Plan provided that such payment is consistent with ERISA. Expenses of the Plan will be paid in
accordance with the most recent service and expense agreement or such other documents duly entered into
by or with regard to the Plan that govern such matters. Such expenses include, but are not limited to,
expenses for bonding required by ERISA; expenses for recordkeeping and other administrative services;
fees and expenses of the Annuity Contract or Trustee; expenses for investment education service; and direct
costs that the Employer incurs with respect to the Plan. Expenses that relate solely to a specific Participant
or Alternate Payee may be assessed against such Participant or Alternate Payee as provided in the service
and expense agreement or such other documents duly entered into by or with regard to the Plan that govern
such matters.

other documents necessary for the administration of the Plan, shall be preserved in the Plan Administrator's
custody.
Writing (handwriting, typing, printing), photostating, photographing, microfilming, magnetic impulse,
mechanical or electrical recording, or other forms of data compilation shall be acceptable means of keeping
records.
SECTION 9.04--INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
Any Participant in the Plan or any Beneficiary may examine copies of the summary plan description, latest
annual report, any bargaining agreement, this Plan, the Annuity Contract, or any other instrument under
which the Plan was established or is operated. The Plan Administrator shall maintain all of the items listed in
this section in its office, or in such other place or places as it may designate in order to comply with
governmental regulations. These items may be examined during reasonable business hours. Upon the
written request of a Participant or Beneficiary receiving benefits under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall
furnish him with a copy of any of these items. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge to the
requesting person for the copy.
SECTION 9.05--CLAIM PROCEDURES.
A Claimant must submit any necessary forms and needed information when making a claim for benefits
under the Plan.
If a claim for benefits under the Plan is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator shall provide
adequate written notice to the Claimant whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied. The
notice must be furnished within 90 days of the date that the claim is received by the Plan without regard to
whether all of the information necessary to make a benefit determination is received. The Claimant shall be
notified in writing within this initial 90-day period if special circumstances require an extension of the time
needed to process the claim. The notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of
time and the date by which the Plan Administrator's decision is expected to be rendered. In no event shall
such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period.
The Plan Administrator's notice to the Claimant shall: (i) specify the reason or reasons for the denial; (ii)
reference the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (iii) describe any additional material and
information needed for the Claimant to perfect his claim for benefits; (iv) explain why the material and
information is needed; and (v) inform the Claimant of the Plan’s appeal procedures and the time limits
applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under
ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on appeal.
Any appeal made by a Claimant must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after
receipt of the Plan Administrator’s notice of denial of benefits. If the Claimant appeals to the Plan
Administrator, the Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information
relating to the claim for benefits. The Claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s
claim for benefits. The Plan Administrator shall review the claim taking into account all comments,
documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to
whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 76 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




The Plan Administrator shall provide adequate written notice to the Claimant of the Plan’s benefit
determination on review. The notice must be furnished within 60 days of the date that the request for review
is received by the Plan without regard to whether all of the information necessary to make a benefit
determination on review is received. The Claimant shall be notified in writing within this initial 60-day period
if special circumstances require an extension of the time needed to process the claim. The notice shall
indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan
Administrator expects to render the determination on review. In no event shall such extension exceed a
period of 60 days from the end of the initial 60-day period.
In the event the benefit determination is being made by a committee or board of trustees that hold regularly
scheduled meetings at least quarterly, the above paragraph shall not apply. The benefit determination must
be made by the date of the meeting of the committee or board that immediately follows the Plan’s receipt of a
request for review, unless the request for review is filed within 30 days preceding the date of such meeting.
In such case, the benefit determination must be made by the date of the second meeting following the Plan’s
receipt of the request for review. The date of the receipt of the request for review shall be determined
without regard to whether all of the information necessary to make a benefit determination on review is
received. The Claimant shall be notified in writing within this initial period if special circumstances require an
extension of the time needed to process the claim. The notice shall indicate the special circumstances
requiring an extension of time and the date by which the committee or board expects to render the
determination on review. In no event shall such benefit determination be made later than the third meeting of
the committee or board following the Plan’s receipt of the request for review. The Plan Administrator shall
provide adequate written notice to the Claimant of the Plan’s benefit determination on review as soon as
possible, but not later than five days after the benefit determination is made.
If the claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied on review, the Plan Administrator’s notice to the Claimant
shall: (i) specify the reason or reasons for the denial; (ii) reference the specific Plan provisions on which the
denial is based; (iii) include a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of
charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the
Claimant’s claim for benefits; and (iv) include a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under
ERISA Section 502(a). Any civil action under (iv) must be filed no later than one year after the date on the
Plan Administrator’s notice.
A Claimant may authorize a representative to act on the Claimant’s behalf with respect to a benefit claim or
appeal of an adverse benefit determination. Such authorization shall be made by completion of a form
furnished for that purpose. In the absence of any contrary direction from the Claimant, all information and
notifications to which the Claimant is entitled shall be directed to the authorized representative.
The Plan Administrator shall perform periodic examinations, reviews, or audits of benefit claims to determine
whether claims determinations are made in accordance with the governing Plan documents and, where
appropriate, Plan provisions have been consistently applied with respect to similarly situated Claimants.
SECTION 9.06--DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY.
All or any part of the administrative duties and responsibilities under this article may be delegated by the
Plan Administrator to a retirement committee. The duties and responsibilities of the retirement committee
shall be set out in a separate written agreement.
SECTION 9.07--EXERCISE OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY.
The Employer, Plan Administrator, and any other person or entity who has authority with respect to the
management, administration, or investment of the Plan may exercise that authority in its/his full discretion,
subject only to the duties imposed under ERISA. This discretionary authority includes, but is not limited to,




the authority to make any and all factual determinations and interpret all terms and provisions of the Plan
documents relevant to the issue under consideration. The exercise of authority will be binding upon all
persons.
SECTION 9.08--TRANSACTION PROCESSING.
Transactions (including, but not limited to, investment directions, trades, loans, and distributions) shall be
processed as soon as administratively practicable after proper directions are received from the Participant or
other parties. No guarantee is made by the Plan, Plan Administrator, Insurer, Employer, or Trustee that such
transactions will be processed on a daily or other basis, and no guarantee is made in any respect regarding
the processing time of such transactions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Employer, the
Plan Administrator, or the Trustee reserves the right to not value an investment option on any given
Valuation Date for any reason deemed appropriate by the Employer, the Plan Administrator, or the Trustee,
except that such investment option shall be valued as of the last day of the Plan Year as stated in the
definition of Valuation Date in Article I.
Administrative practicality will be determined by legitimate business factors (including, but not limited to,
failure of systems or computer programs, failure of the means of the transmission of data, force majeure, the
failure of a service provider to timely receive values or prices, and correction for errors or omissions or the
errors or omissions of any service provider) and in no event will be deemed to be less than 14 days. The
processing date of a transaction shall be binding for all purposes of the Plan and considered the applicable
Valuation Date for any transaction.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01--AMENDMENTS.
(a) Amendment by the Employer. The Employer may amend this Plan at any time, including any
remedial retroactive changes (within the time specified by Internal Revenue Service regulations), to
comply with any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Plan is subject.
An amendment may not allow reversion or diversion of Plan assets to the Employer at any time,
except as may be required to comply with any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency
to which the Plan is subject.
The Employer may amend the Plan by adding sample or model Plan amendments published by the
Internal Revenue Service that provide that their adoption will not cause the Plan to be treated as
individually designed. The Employer may amend the Plan in order to correct failures under the
Internal Revenue Service correction programs or to correct a coverage or nondiscrimination failure,
as permitted under applicable Treasury regulations. An amendment to this Plan will be forwarded to
Principal Life Insurance Company, the volume submitter practitioner.
The Employer may attach an addendum which lists the Code Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits
that must be preserved due to a restatement or amendment of the Plan. Such a list would not be
considered an amendment to the Plan and will not cause the Plan to be treated as individually
designed.
The Employer may make minor modifications to the Plan as permitted under sections 14 and 15 of
Revenue Procedure 2011-49.
If the Employer amends the Plan for any reason other than those set out above, the Plan shall no
longer participate in this volume submitter plan and shall be considered an individually designed
plan. The Employer reserves the right to continue its retirement program under a document
separate and distinct from this Plan. In such event, all rights and obligations of the Employer, or of
any Participant or Beneficiary under this document, shall cease. Assets held in support of this Plan
will be transferred to the designated funding medium under the new or restated plan and, if
applicable, trust agreement, in the manner permitted under, and subject to the provisions of, the
Annuity Contract.
An amendment may not eliminate or reduce a section 411(d)(6) protected benefit, as defined in
Q&A-1 in section 1.411(d)-4 of the regulations, that has already accrued, except as provided in
section 1.411(d)-3 or 1.411(d)-4 of the regulations. This is generally the case even if such
elimination or reduction is contingent upon the Employee’s consent and includes an amendment that
otherwise places greater restrictions or conditions on a Participant’s right to Code Section 411(d)(6)
protected benefits, even if the amendment merely adds a restriction or condition that is permitted
under the vesting rules in Code Section 411(a)(3) through (11). However, the Plan may be
amended to eliminate or reduce section 411(d)(6) protected benefits with respect to benefits not yet
accrued as of the later of the amendment’s adoption date or effective date without violating Code
Section 411(d)(6). For purposes of this paragraph, an amendment that has the effect of decreasing
a Participant’s Account balance, with respect to benefits attributable to service before the
amendment, shall be treated as reducing an accrued benefit.
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 79 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to eliminate or restrict an optional form of benefit. The
preceding sentence shall not apply to a Plan amendment that eliminates or restricts the ability of a
Participant to receive payment of his Account balance under a particular optional form of benefit if
the amendment provides a single sum distribution form that is otherwise identical to the optional form
of benefit being eliminated or restricted. For this purpose, a single sum distribution form is otherwise
identical only if the single sum distribution form is identical in all respects to the eliminated or
restricted optional form of benefit (or would be identical except that it provides greater rights to the
Participant) except with respect to the timing of payments after commencement.
If, as a result of an amendment, an Employer Contribution is removed that is not 100% immediately
vested when made, the applicable vesting schedule in effect as of the last day such Contributions
were permitted shall remain in effect with respect to that part of the Participant’s Account resulting
from such Contributions. The Participant shall not become immediately 100% vested in such
Contributions as a result of the elimination of such Contribution except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan.
An amendment shall not decrease a Participant's vested interest in the Plan. If an amendment to the
Plan changes the computation of the percentage used to determine that portion of a Participant's
Account attributable to Employer Contributions which is nonforfeitable (whether directly or indirectly),
in the case of an Employee who is a Participant as of the later of the date such amendment or
change is adopted or the date it becomes effective, the nonforfeitable percentage (determined as of
such date) of such Employee’s right to his Account attributable to Employer Contributions shall not
be less than the percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment or change.
Furthermore, each Participant or former Participant
(1) who has completed at least three Years of Service on the date the election period described
below ends (five Years of Service if the Participant does not have at least one Hour of
Service in a Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1988) and
(2) whose nonforfeitable percentage will be determined on any date after the date of the change
may elect, during the election period, to have the nonforfeitable percentage of his Account resulting
from Employer Contributions determined without regard to the amendment. This election may not be
revoked. If after the Plan is changed, the Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage will at all times be
as great as it would have been if the change had not been made, no election needs to be provided.
The election period shall begin no later than the date the Plan amendment is adopted and end no
earlier than the 60th day after the latest of the date the amendment is adopted or becomes effective,
or the date the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Employer or the Plan
Administrator.
For an amendment adopted after August 9, 2006, with respect to a Participant’s Account attributable
to Employer Contributions accrued as of the later of the adoption or effective date of the amendment
and earnings, the vested percentage of each Participant will be the greater of the vested percentage
under the old vesting schedule or the vested percentage under the new vesting schedule.
(b) Amendment by the Volume Submitter Practitioner.
The Employer delegates the authority to amend this Plan to Principal Life Insurance Company as the
volume submitter practitioner. The Employer hereby consents to any such amendment. However,
no such amendment shall increase the duties of the Named Fiduciary without his consent. Such an
amendment shall not deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any accrued benefit except to the
extent necessary to comply with any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which
this Plan is subject. Such an amendment shall not provide that the Plan Fund be used for any




purpose other than the exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries or that such Plan Fund
ever revert to or be used by the Employer.
However, for purposes of reliance on an advisory or determination letter, Principal Life Insurance
Company as the volume submitter practitioner will no longer have the authority to amend the Plan on
behalf of the Employer as of the date (i) the Employer amends the Plan to incorporate a type of plan
described in section 16.03 of Revenue Procedure 2011-49 that is not permitted under the VS
program, or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service notifies the Employer, in accordance with section 24.03
of Revenue Procedure 2011-49, that the Plan is an individually designed plan due to the nature and
extent of employer amendments to the Plan.
Any amendment to this Plan by Principal Life Insurance Company, as the volume submitter
practitioner, shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Plan by the Employer. The effective date
of any amendment shall be specified in the written instrument of amendment.
SECTION 10.02--DIRECT ROLLOVERS.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's election
under this section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan
Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement
Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.
In the event of a Mandatory Distribution of an Eligible Rollover Distribution greater than $1,000 in accordance
with the SMALL AMOUNTS SECTION of this article (or which is a small amounts payment under Article VIII
at complete termination of the Plan), if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to
an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Participant in a Direct Rollover or to receive the distribution
directly, the Plan Administrator will pay the distribution in a Direct Rollover to an individual retirement plan
designated by the Plan Administrator. For purposes of determining whether a Mandatory Distribution is
greater than $1,000, a Designated Roth Account and all other accounts under the Plan shall be treated as
accounts held under two separate plans and shall not be combined.
In the event of any other Eligible Rollover Distribution to a Distributee in accordance with the SMALL
AMOUNTS SECTION of this article (or which is a small amounts payment under Article VIII at complete
termination of the Plan), if the Distributee does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an Eligible
Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover or to receive the distribution directly, the
Plan Administrator will pay the distribution to the Distributee.
SECTION 10.03--MERGERS AND DIRECT TRANSFERS.
The Plan may not be merged or consolidated with, nor have its assets or liabilities transferred to, any other
retirement plan, unless each Participant in this Plan would (if that plan then terminated) receive a benefit
immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer that is equal to or greater than the benefit the
Participant would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if
this Plan had then terminated). The Employer may enter into merger agreements or direct transfer of assets
agreements with the employers under other retirement plans which are qualifiable under Code Section
401(a), including an elective transfer, and may accept the direct transfer of plan assets, or may transfer plan
assets, as a party to any such agreement. The Employer shall not consent to, or be a party to a merger,
consolidation, or transfer of assets with a defined benefit plan if such action would result in a defined benefit
feature being maintained under this Plan. The Employer will not transfer any amounts attributable to elective
deferral contributions, qualified matching contributions, qualified nonelective contributions, and contributions
used to satisfy Code Section 401(k)(13) safe harbors unless the transferee plan provides that the limitations
of section 1.401(k)-1(d) of the regulations shall apply to such amounts (including post-transfer earnings




thereon), unless the amounts could have been distributed at the time of the transfer (other than for hardships
as described in the WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS SECTION of Article V or deemed severance from
employment as described in the VESTED BENEFITS SECTION of Article V), and the transfer is an elective
transfer described in Q&A-3(b)(1) in section 1.411(d)-4 of the regulations.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent any optional form of benefit under the
Plan permits a distribution prior to the Employee’s retirement, death, disability, or Severance from
Employment, and prior to plan termination, the optional form of benefit is not available with respect to
benefits attributable to assets (including the post-transfer earnings thereon) and liabilities that are
transferred, within the meaning of Code Section 414(l), to this Plan from a money purchase pension plan
qualified under Code Section 401(a) (other than any portion of those assets and liabilities attributable to
voluntary employee contributions). The limitations of section 1.401(k)-1(d) of the regulations applicable to
elective deferral contributions, qualified matching contributions, qualified nonelective contributions, and
contributions used to satisfy Code Section 401(k)(13) safe harbors shall continue to apply to any amounts
attributable to such contributions (including post-transfer earnings thereon) transferred to this Plan, unless
the amounts could have been distributed at the time of the transfer (other than for hardships as described in
the WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS SECTION of Article V or deemed severance from employment as described
in the VESTED BENEFITS SECTION of Article V), and the transfer is an elective transfer described in Q&A-
3(b)(1) in section 1.411(d)-4 of the regulations.
The Plan may accept a direct transfer of plan assets on behalf of an Eligible Employee. If the Eligible
Employee is not an Active Participant when the transfer is made, the Eligible Employee shall be deemed to
be an Active Participant only for the purpose of investment and distribution of the transferred assets.
Employer Contributions shall not be made for or allocated to the Eligible Employee, until the time he meets
all of the requirements to become an Active Participant.
The Plan shall hold, administer, and distribute the transferred assets as a part of the Plan. The Plan shall
maintain a separate account for the benefit of the Employee on whose behalf the Plan accepted the transfer
in order to reflect the value of the transferred assets.
A Participant’s section 411(d)(6) protected benefits, as defined in Q&A-1 in section 1.411(d)-4 of the
regulations, may not be eliminated by reason of transfer or any transaction amending or having the effect of
amending a plan or plans to transfer benefits except as provided below.
A Participant’s section 411(d)(6) protected benefits may be eliminated or reduced upon transfer between
qualified defined contribution plans if the conditions in Q&A-3(b)(1) in section 1.411(d)-4 of the regulations
are met. The transfer must meet all of the other applicable qualification requirements.
A Participant’s section 411(d)(6) protected benefits may be eliminated or reduced if a transfer is an elective
transfer of certain distributable benefits between qualified plans (both defined benefit and defined
contribution) and the conditions in Q&A-3(c)(1) in section 1.411(d)-4 of the regulations are met. The rules
applicable to distributions under the plan would apply to the transfer, but the transfer would not be treated as
a distribution for purposes of the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9). If the
Participant is eligible to receive an immediate distribution of his entire Vested Account in a single sum
distribution that would consist entirely of an eligible rollover distribution under Code Section 401(a)(31), such
transfer will be accomplished as a direct rollover under Code Section 401(a)(31).
SECTION 10.04--PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE INSURER AND OTHER PARTIES.
The obligations of an Insurer shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Annuity Contract. The Insurer
shall not be required to perform any act not provided in or contrary to the provisions of the Annuity Contract.
Each Annuity Contract when purchased shall comply with the Plan. See the CONSTRUCTION SECTION of
this article.




Any issuer or distributor of investment contracts or securities is governed solely by the terms of its policies,
written investment contract, prospectuses, security instruments, and any other written agreements entered
into with the Trustee with regard to such investment contracts or securities.
Such Insurer, issuer or distributor is not a party to the Plan, nor bound in any way by the Plan provisions.
Such parties shall not be required to look to the terms of this Plan, nor to determine whether the Employer,
the Plan Administrator, the Trustee, or the Named Fiduciary have the authority to act in any particular
manner or to make any contract or agreement.
Until notice of any amendment or termination of this Plan or a change in Trustee has been received by the
Insurer at its home office or an issuer or distributor at their principal address, they are and shall be fully
protected in assuming that the Plan has not been amended or terminated and in dealing with any party
acting as Trustee according to the latest information which they have received at their home office or
principal address.
SECTION 10.05--EMPLOYMENT STATUS.
Nothing contained in this Plan gives an Employee the right to be retained in the Employer's employ or to
interfere with the Employer's right to discharge any Employee.
SECTION 10.06--RIGHTS TO PLAN ASSETS.
An Employee shall not have any right to or interest in any assets of the Plan upon termination of employment
or otherwise except as specifically provided under this Plan, and then only to the extent of the benefits
payable to such Employee according to the Plan provisions.
Any final payment or distribution to a Participant or his legal representative or to any Beneficiaries of such
Participant under the Plan provisions shall be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Plan, the Named
Fiduciary, the Plan Administrator, the Insurer, the Trustee, and the Employer arising under or by virtue of the
Plan.
SECTION 10.07--BENEFICIARY.
Each Participant may name a Beneficiary to receive any death benefit that may arise out of his participation
in the Plan. The Participant may change his Beneficiary from time to time. Unless a qualified election has
been made, for purposes of distributing any death benefits before the Participant’s Retirement Date, the
Beneficiary of a Participant who has a spouse shall be the Participant's spouse. The Participant's
Beneficiary designation and any change of Beneficiary shall be subject to the provisions of the ELECTION
PROCEDURES SECTION of Article VI.
It is the responsibility of the Participant to give written notice to the Plan Administrator of the name of the
Beneficiary on a form furnished for that purpose. The Plan Administrator shall maintain records of
Beneficiary designations for Participants before their Retirement Dates. However, the Plan Administrator
may delegate to another party the responsibility of maintaining records of Beneficiary designations. In that
event, the written designations made by Participants shall be filed with such other party. If a party other than
the Insurer maintains the records of Beneficiary designations and a Participant dies before his Retirement
Date, such other party shall certify to the Insurer the Beneficiary designation on its records for the
Participant.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 83 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)






If there is no Beneficiary named or surviving when a Participant dies, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be
the Participant’s surviving spouse, or where there is no surviving spouse, the executor or administrator of the
Participant's estate for the benefit of the estate.
SECTION 10.08--NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS.
Benefits payable under the Plan are not subject to the claims of any creditor of any Participant, Beneficiary,
spouse, or Contingent Annuitant. A Participant, Beneficiary, spouse, or Contingent Annuitant does not have
any rights to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign such benefits. Such restrictions do
not apply in the case of a loan as provided in the LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS SECTION of Article V. The
preceding sentences shall also apply to the creation, assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit
payable with respect to a Participant according to a domestic relations order, unless such order is
determined by the Plan Administrator to be a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section
414(p), or any domestic relations order entered before January 1, 1985. The preceding sentences shall not
apply to any offset of a Participant’s benefits provided under the Plan against an amount the Participant is
required to pay the Plan with respect to a judgment, order, or decree issued, or a settlement entered into, on
or after August 5, 1997, which meets the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(13)(C) or (D).
SECTION 10.09--CONSTRUCTION.
The validity of the Plan or any of its provisions is determined under and construed according to Federal law
and, to the extent permissible, according to the laws of the state in which the Employer has its principal
office. In case any provision of this Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, such determination shall not
affect the remaining provisions of this Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or
invalid provision had never been included.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the terms of any Annuity Contract issued
hereunder, the provisions of the Plan control.
SECTION 10.10--LEGAL ACTIONS.
No person employed by the Employer; no Participant, former Participant, or their Beneficiaries; nor any other
person having or claiming to have an interest in the Plan is entitled to any notice of process. A final
judgment entered in any such action or proceeding shall be binding and conclusive on all persons having or
claiming to have an interest in the Plan. Should any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person claiming an
interest in the Plan pursue a legal action against the Plan, such legal action may not be brought more than
two years following the date such cause of action or proceeding arose.
SECTION 10.11--SMALL AMOUNTS.
If the value of the Participant’s Vested Account does not exceed $5,000, the Participant’s entire Vested
Account shall be distributed as of the earliest of his Retirement Date, the date he dies, or the date he has a
Severance from Employment for any other reason (the date the Employer provides notice to the record
keeper of the Plan of such event, if later). For purposes of this section, if the Participant’s Vested Account is
zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such Vested Account. This is a small
amounts payment.
In the event a Participant does not elect to have a small amounts payment paid directly to an Eligible
Retirement Plan specified by the Participant in a Direct Rollover or to receive the distribution directly and his
Vested Account is greater than $1,000, a Mandatory Distribution will be made in accordance with the

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 84 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpgDIRECT ROLLOVERS SECTION of this article. If his Vested Account is $1,000 or less, the Participant’s
entire Vested Account shall be paid directly to him.
If a small amounts payment is made on or after the date the Participant dies, the small amounts payment
shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary. If a small amounts payment is made while the Participant is
living, the small amounts payment shall be made to the Participant.
The small amounts payment is in full settlement of all benefits otherwise payable. No other small amounts
payment shall be made.
SECTION 10.12--WORD USAGE.
The masculine gender, where used in this Plan, shall include the feminine gender and the singular words,
where used in this Plan, shall include the plural, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The words “in writing” and “written,” where used in this Plan, shall include any other forms (such as voice
response or other electronic system) as permitted by any governmental agency to which the Plan is subject.
SECTION 10.13--CHANGE IN SERVICE METHOD.
(a) Change of Service Method Under This Plan. If this Plan is amended to change the method of
crediting service from the elapsed time method to the hours method for any purpose under this Plan,
the Employee’s service shall be equal to the sum of (1), (2), and (3) below:
(1) The number of whole years of service credited to the Employee under the Plan as of the
date the change is effective.
(2) One year of service for the computation period in which the change is effective if he is
credited with the required number of Hours of Service. For that portion of the computation
period ending on the date of the change (for the first day of the computation period if the
change is made on the first day of the computation period), the Employee will be credited
with the greater of (i) his actual Hours of Service or (ii) the number of Hours of Service that is
equivalent to the fractional part of a year of elapsed time service credited as of the date of
the change, if any. In determining the equivalent Hours of Service, the Employee shall be
credited with 190 Hours of Service for each month and any fractional part of a month in such
fractional part of a year. The number of months and any fractional part of a month shall be
determined by multiplying the fractional part of a year, expressed as a decimal, by 12. For
the remaining portion of the computation period (the period beginning on the second day of
the computation period and ending on the last day of the computation period if the change is
made on the first day of the computation period), the Employee will be credited with his
actual Hours of Service.
(3) The Employee’s service determined under this Plan using the hours method after the end of
the computation period in which the change in service method was effective.
If this Plan is amended to change the method of crediting service from the hours method to the
elapsed time method for any purpose under this Plan, the Employee’s service shall be equal to the
sum of (4), (5), and (6) below:
(4) The number of whole years of service credited to the Employee under the Plan as of the
beginning of the computation period in which the change in service method is effective.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 85 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




image_2.jpg(5) The greater of (i) the service that would be credited to the Employee for that entire
computation period using the elapsed time method or (ii) the service credited to him under
the Plan as of the date the change is effective.
(6) The Employee’s service determined under this Plan using the elapsed time method after the
end of the applicable computation period in which the change in service method was
effective.
(b) Transfers Between Plans with Different Service Methods. If an Employee has been a participant in
another plan of the Employer that credited service under the elapsed time method for any purpose
that under this Plan is determined using the hours method, then the Employee’s service shall be
equal to the sum of (1), (2), and (3) below:
(1) The number of whole years of service credited to the Employee under the other plan as of
the date he became an Eligible Employee under this Plan.
(2) One year of service for the applicable computation period in which he became an Eligible
Employee if he is credited with the required number of Hours of Service. For that portion of
such computation period ending on the date he became an Eligible Employee (for the first
day of such computation period if he became an Eligible Employee on the first day of such
computation period), the Employee will be credited with the greater of (i) his actual Hours of
Service or (ii) the number of Hours of Service that is equivalent to the fractional part of a
year of elapsed time service credited as of the date he became an Eligible Employee, if any.
In determining the equivalent Hours of Service, the Employee shall be credited with 190
Hours of Service for each month and any fractional part of a month in such fractional part of
a year. The number of months and any fractional part of a month shall be determined by
multiplying the fractional part of a year, expressed as a decimal, by 12. For the remaining
portion of such computation period (the period beginning on the second day of such
computation period and ending on the last day of such computation period if he became an
Eligible Employee on the first day of such computation period), the Employee will be credited
with his actual Hours of Service.
(3) The Employee’s service determined under this Plan using the hours method after the end of
the computation period in which he became an Eligible Employee.
If an Employee has been a participant in another plan of the Employer that credited service under
the hours method for any purpose that under this Plan is determined using the elapsed time method,
then the Employee’s service shall be equal to the sum of (4), (5), and (6) below:
(4) The number of whole years of service credited to the Employee under the other plan as of
the beginning of the computation period under that plan in which he became an Eligible
Employee under this Plan.
(5) The greater of (i) the service that would be credited to the Employee for that entire
computation period using the elapsed time method or (ii) the service credited to him under
the other plan as of the date he became an Eligible Employee under this Plan.
(6) The Employee’s service determined under this Plan using the elapsed time method after the
end of the applicable computation period under the other plan in which he became an
Eligible Employee.
If an Employee has been a participant in a Controlled Group member’s plan that credited service under a
different method than is used in this Plan, in order to determine entry and vesting, the provisions in (b) above
shall apply as though the Controlled Group member’s plan was a plan of the Employer.




Any modification of service contained in this Plan shall be applicable to the service determined pursuant to
this section.
SECTION 10.14--MILITARY SERVICE.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall provide contributions, benefits, and
service credit with respect to Qualified Military Service in accordance with Code Section 414(u). Loan
repayments may be suspended under this Plan as permitted under Code Section 414(u).
A Participant who dies on or after January 1, 2007, while performing Qualified Military Service is treated as
having resumed and then terminated employment on account of death, in accordance with Code Section
401(a)(37) and any subsequent guidance. The survivors of such Participant are entitled to any additional
benefits provided under the Plan on account of death of the Participant.
SECTION 10.15--QUALIFICATION OF PLAN.
If the Plan is denied initial qualification upon filing timely application, it will be treated as void from the
beginning. It will be terminated and all amounts contributed to the Plan, less expenses paid, shall be
returned to the Employer within one year after the date of denial. If amounts have been contributed by
Employees, the Employer shall refund to each Employee the amount made by him or, if less, the amount
then in his Account resulting from such amounts. The Insurer and Trustee shall be discharged from all
further obligations.
If the Plan fails to attain or retain qualification, it shall no longer participate in this volume submitter plan and
shall be considered an individually designed plan.

ARTICLE XI
TOP-HEAVY PLAN REQUIREMENTS
SECTION 11.01--APPLICATION.
The provisions of this article shall supersede all other provisions in the Plan to the contrary.
For the purpose of applying the Top-heavy Plan requirements of this article, all members of the Controlled
Group shall be treated as one Employer. The term Employer, as used in this article, shall be deemed to
include all members of the Controlled Group, unless the term as used clearly indicates only the Employer is
meant.
The accrued benefit or account of a participant resulting from deductible employee contributions shall not be
included for any purpose under this article.
The minimum vesting and contribution provisions of the MODIFICATION OF VESTING REQUIREMENTS
SECTION and the MODIFICATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION of this article shall not apply to any
Employee who is included in a group of Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement that the
Secretary of Labor finds to be a collective bargaining agreement between employee representatives and one
or more employers, including the Employer, if there is evidence that retirement benefits were the subject of
good faith bargaining between such representatives. For this purpose, the term "employee representatives"
does not include any organization more than half of whose members are employees who are owners,
officers, or executives.
SECTION 11.02--DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this article the following terms are defined:
Aggregation Group means:
(a) each of the Employer's qualified plans in which a Key Employee is a participant during the Plan Year
containing the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years (regardless of whether
the plans have terminated),
(b) each of the Employer's other qualified plans which allows the plan(s) described in (a) above to meet
the nondiscrimination requirement of Code Section 401(a)(4) or the minimum coverage requirement
of Code Section 410, and
(c) any of the Employer's other qualified plans not included in (a) or (b) above which the Employer
desires to include as part of the Aggregation Group. Such a qualified plan shall be included only if
the Aggregation Group would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and
410.
The plans in (a) and (b) above constitute the "required" Aggregation Group. The plans in (a), (b), and (c)
above constitute the "permissive" Aggregation Group.
Compensation means compensation as defined in the CONTRIBUTION LIMITATION SECTION of Article
III.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 88 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




Determination Date means as to any plan, for any plan year subsequent to the first plan year, the last day of the preceding plan year. For the first plan year of the plan, the Determination Date is the last day of that
year.
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 is:
(a) an officer of the Employer having Compensation for the Plan Year greater than $130,000 (as

(b) a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or
(c) a 1-percent owner of the Employer having Compensation for the Plan Year of more than $150,000.
The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be made according to Code Section 416(i)(1) and the
applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.
Nonkey Employee means any Employee who is not a Key Employee.
Top-heavy Plan means a plan that is top-heavy for any plan year. This Plan shall be top-heavy if any of the following conditions exist:
(a) The Top-heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds 60 percent and this Plan is not part of any required
Aggregation Group or permissive Aggregation Group.
(b) This Plan is a part of a required Aggregation Group, but not part of a permissive Aggregation Group,
and the Top-heavy Ratio for the required Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent.
(c) This Plan is a part of a required Aggregation Group and part of a permissive Aggregation Group and
the Top-heavy Ratio for the permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60 percent.
Top-heavy Ratio means:
(a) If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee
pension plan) and the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan that during the five-year
period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the Top-heavy Ratio
for this Plan alone or for the required or permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is a fraction,
the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all Key Employees as of the
Determination Date(s) (including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period
ending on the Determination Date(s) and distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not
been terminated would have been required to be included in the Aggregation Group), and the
denominator of which is the sum of all account balances (including any part of any account balance
distributed in the one-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) and distributions under a
terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included in the
Aggregation Group), both computed in accordance with Code Section 416 and the regulations
thereunder. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than Severance from Employment,
death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year
period.” Both the numerator and denominator of the Top-heavy Ratio are increased to reflect any
contribution not actually made as of the Determination Date, but which is required to be taken into
account on that date under Code Section 416 and the regulations thereunder.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 89 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




(b) If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee
pension plan) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans that
during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the
Top-heavy Ratio for any required or permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is a fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined contribution
plan or plans of all Key Employees, determined in accordance with (a) above, and the present value
of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of
the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under
the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all participants, determined in accordance with
(a) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all
participants as of the Determination Date(s), all determined in accordance with Code Section 416
and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the
numerator and denominator of the Top-heavy Ratio are increased for any distribution of an accrued
benefit made in the one-year period ending on the Determination Date (and distributions under a
terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included in the
Aggregation Group). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than Severance from
Employment, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five-year period” for
“one-year period.”
(c) For purposes of (a) and (b) above, the value of account balances and the present value of accrued
benefits will be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12-
month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Code Section 416 and the
regulations thereunder for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan. The account
balances and accrued benefits of a participant (i) who is not a Key Employee but who was a Key
Employee in a prior year or (ii) who has not been credited with at least one hour of service with any
employer maintaining the plan at any time during the one-year period (five-year period in determining
whether the plan is top-heavy for plan years beginning before January 1, 2002) ending on the
Determination Date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-heavy Ratio and the extent to
which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with
Code Section 416 and the regulations thereunder. Deductible employee contributions will not be
taken into account for purposes of computing the Top-heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans, the
value of account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the
Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.
The accrued benefit of a participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (i) the method, if
any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer,
or (ii) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate
permitted under the fractional rule of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).
SECTION 11.03--MODIFICATION OF VESTING REQUIREMENTS.
A Participant’s Vesting Percentage is at all times at least as great as the Vesting Percentage required to
satisfy the requirements of Code Section 416. The part of the Participant’s Account resulting from the
minimum contributions required pursuant to the MODIFICATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION of this
article will vest according to the vesting schedule selected in the definition of Vesting Percentage in the
DEFINITIONS SECTION of Article I. If no schedule is selected in such definition, the minimum contribution
(and earnings thereon) will be 100% vested and nonforfeitable.
The part of the Participant’s Vested Account resulting from the minimum contributions required pursuant to
the MODIFICATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION of this article (to the extent required to be
nonforfeitable under Code Section 416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code Section 411(a)(3)(B) or (D).
Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 90 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




SECTION 11.04--MODIFICATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS.
During any Plan Year in which this Plan is a Top-heavy Plan, the Employer shall make a minimum
contribution as of the last day of the Plan Year for each Nonkey Employee who is an Employee on the last
day of the Plan Year and who was an Active Participant at any time during the Plan Year. A Nonkey
Employee is not required to have a minimum number of Hours of Service or minimum amount of
Compensation in order to be entitled to this minimum. A Nonkey Employee who fails to be an Active
Participant merely because his Compensation is less than a stated amount or merely because of a failure to
make mandatory participant contributions or, in the case of a cash or deferred arrangement, elective
contributions shall be treated as if he were an Active Participant. The minimum is the lesser of (a) or (b)
below:
(a) 3 percent of such person's Compensation for such Plan Year.
(b) The "highest percentage" of Compensation for such Plan Year at which the Employer's Contributions
are made for or allocated to any Key Employee. The highest percentage shall be determined by
dividing the Employer Contributions made for or allocated to each Key Employee during the Plan
Year by the amount of his Compensation for such Plan Year, and selecting the greatest quotient
(expressed as a percentage). To determine the highest percentage, all of the Employer's defined
contribution plans within the Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan. The minimum shall be
the amount in (a) above if this Plan and a defined benefit plan of the Employer are required to be
included in the Aggregation Group and this Plan enables the defined benefit plan to meet the
requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410.
For purposes of (a) and (b) above, Compensation shall be limited by Code Section 401(a)(17).
If the Employer's contributions and allocations otherwise required under the defined contribution plan(s) are
at least equal to the minimum above, no additional contribution shall be required. If the Employer's total
contributions and allocations are less than the minimum above, the Employer shall contribute the difference
for the Plan Year.
The minimum contribution applies to all of the Employer's defined contribution plans in the aggregate which
are Top-heavy Plans. A minimum contribution under a profit sharing plan shall be made without regard to
whether or not the Employer has profits.
If a person who is otherwise entitled to a minimum contribution above is also covered under another defined
contribution plan of the Employer’s which is a Top-heavy Plan during that same Plan Year, any additional
contribution required to meet the minimum above shall be provided in this Plan.
If a person who is otherwise entitled to a minimum contribution above is also covered under a defined benefit
plan of the Employer's that is a Top-heavy Plan during that same Plan Year, the minimum benefits for him
shall not be duplicated. Any additional contribution required to meet the minimum above shall be provided in
this Plan. Such plan shall provide a minimum contribution of 5 percent of such Participant's Compensation
for the Plan Year.

Amend No. 3 Effective January 1, 2022 91 Plan ID No. 353913 ( 4-52712)




For purposes of this section, any employer contribution made according to a salary reduction or similar
arrangement shall not apply in determining if the minimum contribution requirement has been met, but shall
apply in determining the minimum contribution required. Matching contributions, as defined in Code Section
401(m), shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of
Code Section 416(c)(2) and the Plan. 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 Code Section 401(m).
The requirements of this section shall be met without regard to any Social Security contribution.
