  14. DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS (3.02). The following limitations and terms apply to an Employee’s deferral contributions:

4. Effective January 1, 2007, the Employer amends the Plan as follows:

DIRECT ROLLOVER OF NON-SPOUSAL DISTRIBUTION

  (a) Non-spouse beneficiary rollover right. For distributions made after December 31, 2006, a non-spouse beneficiary who is a “designated beneficiary” under Code §401(a)(9)(E) and the regulations thereunder, by a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer (“direct rollover”), may roll over all or any portion of his/her distribution to an individual retirement account the beneficiary establishes for purposes of receiving the distribution. In order to be able to roll over the distribution, the distribution otherwise must satisfy the definition of an eligible rollover distribution.

  (b) Certain requirements not applicable. Although a non-spouse beneficiary may roll over directly a distribution as provided in Section (a) above, the distribution is not subject to the direct rollover requirements of Code §401(a)(31), the notice requirements of Code §402(f) or the mandatory withholding requirements of Code §3405(c). If a non-spouse beneficiary receives a distribution from the Plan, the distribution is not eligible for a “60-day” rollover.

  (c) Trust beneficiary. If the participant’s named beneficiary is a trust, the Plan may make a direct rollover to an individual retirement account on behalf of the trust, provided the trust satisfies the requirements to be a designated beneficiary within the meaning of Code §401(a)(9)(E).

  (d) Required minimum distributions not eligible for rollover. A non-spouse beneficiary may not roll over an amount which is a required minimum distribution, as determined under applicable Treasury regulations and other Revenue Service guidance. If the participant dies before his/her required beginning date and the non-spouse beneficiary rolls over to an IRA the maximum amount eligible for rollover, the beneficiary may elect to use either the 5-year rule or the life expectancy rule, pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(9)-3, A-4(c), in determining the required minimum distributions from the IRA that receives the non-spouse beneficiary’s distribution.

  (e) Superseding of inconsistent provisions. Section (a) through (d) above supersedes the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of said sections.

5. Effective January 1, 2004, the Employer confirms that the Plan uses the “prior year method” for purposes of nondiscrimination testing and has done so consistently since 2002.
