PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In millions, except share and per share amounts)
1. Interim Financial Statements
Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “PAG,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in these Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements refers to Penske Automotive Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Business Overview and Concentrations
We are a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial truck retailers. We operate dealerships principally in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan, and we are one of the largest retailers of commercial trucks in North America for Freightliner. We also distribute and retail commercial vehicles, diesel and gas engines, power systems, and related parts and services principally in Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, we own 28.9% of Penske Transportation Solutions, a business that manages a fleet of over 386,000 vehicles providing innovative transportation, supply chain, and technology solutions to North American fleets.
Retail Automotive. We are one of the largest global automotive retailers as measured by the $22.5 billion in total retail automotive dealership revenue we generated in 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we operated 332 retail automotive franchised dealerships, of which 152 are located in the U.S. and 180 are located outside of the U.S. The franchised dealerships outside the U.S. are located primarily in the U.K. We also operate 21 used vehicle dealerships in the U.S. and the U.K. which retail used vehicles under a one price, “no-haggle” methodology under the CarShop brand. Our CarShop operations consist of eight retail dealerships in the U.S. and 13 retail dealerships and a vehicle preparation center in the U.K. We retailed and wholesaled more than 276,000 vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2022. We are diversified geographically with 56% of our total retail automotive dealership revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2022, generated in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and 44% generated outside the U.S. We offer over 35 vehicle brands with 70% of our retail automotive franchised dealership revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022, generated from premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.
Each of our franchised dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of our dealerships through maintenance and repair services, the sale and placement of third-party finance and insurance products, third-party extended service and maintenance contracts, and replacement and aftermarket automotive products. We operate our franchised dealerships under franchise agreements with automotive manufacturers and distributors that are subject to certain rights and restrictions typical of the industry. In March 2022, we agreed to transition our U.K. Mercedes Benz dealerships to an agency model beginning in 2023. Under an agency model, our U.K. Mercedes Benz dealerships will receive a fee for facilitating the sale by the manufacturer of a new vehicle but will not hold the vehicle in inventory. We will continue to provide new vehicle customer service at our U.K. Mercedes Benz dealerships, and the agency model does not structurally change our used vehicle sales operations or service and parts operations. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, for a discussion of agency.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired ten retail automotive franchises, consisting of six franchises in the U.K. and four franchises in the U.S., and we opened two retail automotive franchises that we were awarded in the U.S. Additionally, the Company has signed an agreement to acquire five Mercedes-Benz dealerships and three aftersales locations in North London, United Kingdom, from Mercedes-Benz Retail Group U.K. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions. We also acquired a BMW/MINI collision center in the U.K. and a BMW/MINI collision center in the U.S. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we closed two CarShop satellite locations in the U.K. to reduce costs.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. We operate Premier Truck Group (“PTG”), a heavy- and medium-duty truck dealership group offering primarily Freightliner and Western Star trucks (both Daimler brands) with locations across nine U.S. states and Ontario, Canada. During February 2022, we acquired TEAM Truck Centres, a retailer of heavy- and medium-duty Freightliner and Western Star commercial trucks located in Ontario, Canada representing four full-service dealerships. As of June 30, 2022, PTG operated 39 locations which sell new and used trucks, parts and service, and collision repair services, which decreased from 41 locations due to the closure of two parts and service locations as a result
9

of the transition of customers to other existing locations. We retailed and wholesaled more than 9,100 trucks in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Penske Australia. Penske Australia is the exclusive importer and distributor of Western Star heavy-duty trucks (a Daimler Truck brand), MAN heavy- and medium-duty trucks and buses (a VW Group brand), and Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles, together with associated parts, across Australia, New Zealand, and portions of the Pacific. In most of these same markets, we are also a leading distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems, principally representing MTU (a Rolls-Royce solution), Detroit Diesel, Allison Transmission, and Bergen Engines. Penske Australia offers products across the on- and off-highway markets, including in the trucking, mining, power generation, defense, marine, rail, and construction sectors and supports full parts and aftersales service through a network of branches, field service locations, and dealers across the region.
Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. (“PTL”). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”). We account for our investment in PTL under the equity method, and we therefore record our share of PTL’s earnings on our statements of income under the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliates,” which also includes the results of our other equity method investments. Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”) is the universal brand name for PTL’s various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers’ needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental, and contract maintenance along with logistic services, such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, transportation management, lead logistics provider services, and dry van truckload carrier services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of PAG have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The information presented as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is unaudited but includes all adjustments which our management believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounts requiring the use of significant estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, intangible assets, leases, and certain reserves.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also
10

establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, debt, floor plan notes payable, forward exchange contracts, and interest rate swaps used to hedge future cash flows. Other than our fixed rate debt, the carrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity, the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates, or as a result of mark to market accounting.
Our fixed rate debt consists of amounts outstanding under our senior subordinated notes and mortgage facilities. We estimate the fair value of our senior unsecured notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 2), and we estimate the fair value of our mortgage facilities using a present value technique based on our current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2). A summary of our debt is as follows:
June 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Carrying ValueFair ValueCarrying Value Fair Value
3.50% senior subordinated notes due 2025
545.4 511.8 544.7 $560.5 
3.75% senior subordinated notes due 2029
494.7 413.5 494.3 490.7 
Mortgage facilities (1)
366.9 347.2 353.8 359.8 
_____________________
(1)In addition to fixed rate debt, our mortgage facilities also include a revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation that bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR. The fair value equals the carrying value.
Disposals
The results of operations for disposals are included within continuing operations unless they meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and treated as discontinued operations.
Income Taxes
Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different times than when those items are reflected in our financial statements. Some of the differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on our tax return, and some are temporary differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that will be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years which we have already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as an expense in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if the amount of expected future taxable income is not more likely than not to allow for the use of the deduction or credit.
Penske Transportation Solutions Adoption of ASC 842
On January 1, 2022, Penske Transportation Solutions, our equity method investment of which we own 28.9%, adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The adoption resulted in a net, after-tax cumulative effect adjustment to our retained earnings of $121.6 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the
11

potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Additionally, entities can elect to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain conditions are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This ASU refines the scope of ASC 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the Board’s monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. The ASU permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities. These new standards were effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. While our credit facility in the U.S. and many of our floorplan arrangements utilize LIBOR as a benchmark for calculating the applicable interest rate, some of our floorplan arrangements and our U.K. credit agreement have already transitioned to utilizing an alternative benchmark rate. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference interest rates. We cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to or elimination of LIBOR, the establishment and use of alternative rates or benchmarks, and the corresponding effects on our cost of capital but do not expect a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
2. Revenues
Automotive and commercial truck dealerships generate the majority of our revenues. New and used vehicle revenues typically include sales to retail customers, to fleet customers, and to leasing companies providing consumer leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, commissions relating to the sale of finance and lease contracts to third parties, and the sales of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid by customers for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts and other aftermarket accessories as well as warranty repairs that are reimbursed directly by various vehicle manufacturers. Revenues are recognized upon satisfaction of our performance obligations under contracts with our customers and are measured at the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. A discussion of revenue recognition by reportable segment is included below.

Dealership Vehicle Sales. We record revenue for vehicle sales at a point in time when vehicles are delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer and is reduced by any noncash consideration representing the fair value of trade-in vehicles, if applicable. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to transfer of control of the vehicle.
Dealership Parts and Service Sales. We record revenue for vehicle service and collision work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales, including collision repair work, is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to the completion of services for the customer. We allow for customer returns of parts sales up to 30 days after the sale; however, parts returns are not material.
Dealership Finance and Insurance Sales. Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, we sell installment sale contracts to various financial institutions on a non-recourse basis (with specified exceptions) to mitigate the risk of default. We receive a commission from the lender equal to either the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the interest rate set by the financing institution or a flat fee. We also receive commissions for facilitating the sale of various products to customers, including guaranteed vehicle protection insurance, vehicle theft protection, and extended service contracts. These commissions are recorded as revenue at a point in time when the customer enters into the contract. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to the execution of the contract with the customer.

In the case of finance contracts, a customer may prepay or fail to pay their contract, thereby terminating the contract. Customers may also terminate extended service contracts and other insurance products, which are fully paid at purchase, and become eligible for refunds of unused premiums. In these circumstances, a portion of the commissions we received may be charged back based on the terms of the contracts. The revenue we record relating to these transactions is net of an estimate of the amount of chargebacks we will be required to pay. Our estimate is based upon our historical experience with similar contracts, including the impact of refinance and default rates on retail finance contracts and cancellation rates on extended service contracts and other insurance products. Aggregate reserves relating to chargeback activity were $36.1 million and $33.7 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Commercial Vehicle Distribution and Other Revenue Recognition
Penske Australia. We record revenue from the distribution of vehicles and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.
The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle and product sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.
We record revenue from the distribution of engines and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.
For our long-term power generation contracts, we record revenue over time as services are provided in accordance with contract milestones, which is considered an output method that requires judgment to determine our progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Any revisions to estimates related to revenues or costs to complete contracts are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
The amount of consideration we receive for engine, product, and power generation sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.
Service and parts revenue represented $60.5 million and $115.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $72.0 million and $140.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, for Penske Australia.

Contract Balances
The following table summarizes our accounts receivable and unearned revenues as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

Accounts receivable
Contracts in transit$214.5 $198.7 
Vehicle receivables206.1 197.7 
Manufacturer receivables141.6 157.7 
Trade receivables191.7 164.5 
Accrued expenses
Unearned revenues$285.6 $297.0 
Contracts in transit represent receivables from unaffiliated finance companies relating to the sale of customers’ installment sales and lease contracts arising in connection with the sale of a vehicle by us. Vehicle receivables represent receivables for any portion of the vehicle sales price not paid by the finance company. Manufacturer receivables represent amounts due from manufacturers, including incentives, holdbacks, rebates, warranty claims, and other receivables due from the factory. Trade receivables represent receivables due from customers, including amounts due for parts and service sales as well as receivables due from finance companies and others for the commissions earned on financing and commissions earned on insurance and extended service products provided by third parties. We evaluate collectability of receivables and estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the age of the receivable, contractual life, historical collection experience, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions, which is recorded within “Accounts receivable” on our consolidated balance sheets with our receivables presented net of the allowance.
Unearned revenues primarily relate to payments received from customers prior to satisfaction of our performance obligations, such as customer deposits and deferred revenues from operating leases. These amounts are presented within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Of the amounts recorded as unearned revenues as of December 31, 2021, $158.4 million was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Additional Revenue Recognition Related Policies
We do not have any material significant payment terms associated with contracts with our customers. Payment is due and collected as previously detailed for each reportable segment. We do not offer material rights of return or service-type warranties.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis (excluded from revenue). Shipping costs incurred subsequent to transfer of control to our customers are recognized as cost of sales. Sales promotions that we offer to customers are accounted for as a reduction of revenues at the time of sale.
3. Leases
We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Our property leases are generally for an initial period between 5 and 20 years and are typically structured to include renewal options at our election. We include renewal options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in the measurement of our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. We also have equipment leases that primarily relate to office and computer equipment, service and shop equipment, company vehicles, and other miscellaneous items. These leases are generally for a period of less than 5 years. We do not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement.
We estimate the total undiscounted rent obligations under these leases, including any extension periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise, to be $5.3 billion as of June 30, 2022. Some of our lease arrangements include rental payments that are adjusted based on an index or rate, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for our operating leases, the discount rates used to determine the present value of our lease liability are based on our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a
15

collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a “rent coverage” ratio and a debt to EBITDA ratio, each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease.
In connection with the sale, relocation, and closure of certain of our franchises, we have entered into a number of third-party sublease agreements. The rent paid by our sub-tenants on such properties was $4.6 million and $9.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $6.7 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds that vary from period to period. We do not have any material leases that have not yet commenced as of June 30, 2022.
The following table summarizes our net operating lease cost during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

5. Business Combinations
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired TEAM Truck Centres, a retailer of heavy- and medium-duty Freightliner and Western Star commercial trucks located in Ontario, Canada representing four full-service dealerships. We also acquired ten retail automotive franchises, consisting of six franchises in the U.K. and four franchises in the U.S. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired one retail automotive franchise in the U.S. We also acquired Kansas City Freightliner (“KCFL”), adding four full-service dealerships, four parts and service centers, and two collision centers to PTG’s existing operations. Our financial statements include the results of operations of the acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded in our consolidated condensed financial statements and may be subject to adjustment pending completion of final valuation.

The additions during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were within our Retail Automotive and Retail Commercial Truck reportable segments. As of June 30, 2022, the goodwill balance within our Retail Automotive, Retail Commercial Truck, and Other reportable segments was $1,598.6 million, $465.2 million, and $75.9 million, respectively. There is no goodwill recorded in our Non-Automotive Investments reportable segment.
7. Vehicle Financing
We finance substantially all of the commercial vehicles we purchase for distribution, new vehicles for retail sale, and a portion of our used vehicle inventories for retail sale under floor plan and other revolving arrangements with various lenders, including the captive finance companies associated with automotive manufacturers. In the U.S., the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, we have not historically been required to repay floor plan advances prior to the sale of the vehicles that have been financed. We typically make monthly interest payments on the amount financed. Outside of the U.S., substantially all of the floor plan arrangements are payable on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days or less, and we are generally required to repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles that have been financed or the stated maturity.
18

The agreements typically grant a security interest in substantially all of the assets of our dealership and distribution subsidiaries and in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand are guaranteed or partially guaranteed by us. Interest rates under the arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes in the prime rate, defined LIBOR, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us vehicle financing. We also receive non-refundable credits from certain of our vehicle manufacturers, which are treated as a reduction of cost of sales as vehicles are sold.
The weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings was 1.3% and 1.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We classify floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle and all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles as “Floor plan notes payable — non-trade” on our consolidated balance sheets and classify related cash flows as a financing activity on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
8. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted stock awards which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive impact of unissued shares paid to directors as compensation. A reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 follows:

U.S. Credit Agreement
Our U.S. credit agreement (the “U.S. credit agreement”) with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA LLC and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation provides for up to $800.0 million in revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and other general corporate purposes and up to an additional $50 million of letters of
19

credit. The U.S. credit agreement provides for a maximum of $150.0 million of borrowings for foreign acquisitions and expires on September 30, 2024. The interest rate on revolving loans is LIBOR plus 1.50%, subject to an incremental 1.50% for uncollateralized borrowings in excess of a defined borrowing base.
The U.S. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and contains a number of significant operating covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay certain other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions, and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also required to comply with specified financial and other tests and ratios, each as defined in the U.S. credit agreement, including a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders’ equity, and a ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed.
The U.S. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control, non-payment of obligations, and cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness. Substantially all of our U.S. assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.S. credit agreement. As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding revolver borrowings under the U.S. credit agreement.
U.K. Credit Agreement
Our subsidiaries in the U.K. (the “U.K. subsidiaries”) are party to a £150.0 million revolving credit agreement with the National Westminster Bank plc and BMW Financial Services (GB) Limited plus an additional £52.0 million of demand overdraft lines of credit, £40.0 million of which is only available on demand from March 20th to April 30th and September 20th to October 31st each year (relating to the peak sales periods in the U.K.), (collectively, the “U.K. credit agreement”) to be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and general corporate purposes. The loans mature on December 12, 2023. The revolving loans bear interest between defined Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") plus 1.10% and defined SONIA plus 2.10%. The U.K. credit agreement also includes a £100.0 million “accordion” feature which allows the U.K. subsidiaries to request up to an additional £100.0 million of facility capacity. The lenders may agree to provide additional capacity, and if not, the U.K. subsidiaries may add an additional lender, if available, to the facility to provide such additional capacity. As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the U.K. credit agreement.
The U.K. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our U.K. subsidiaries and contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of our U.K. subsidiaries to pay dividends, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions, and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, our U.K. subsidiaries are required to comply with defined ratios and tests, including a ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, and rental payments (“EBITAR”) to interest plus rental payments, a measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of any amounts owed.
The U.K. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness of our U.K. subsidiaries. Substantially all of our U.K. subsidiaries’ assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.K. credit agreement.
Senior Subordinated Notes
We have issued the following senior subordinated notes:
DescriptionMaturity DateInterest Payment DatesPrincipal Amount
3.50% Notes
September 1, 2025February 15, August 15$550 million
3.75% Notes
June 15, 2029June 15, December 15$500 million
Each of these notes are our unsecured, senior subordinated obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by our 100% owned U.S. subsidiaries. Each also contain customary negative covenants and events of default. If we experience certain “change of control” events specified in the indentures, holders of these notes will have the option to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds
20

thereof or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Optional redemption. Prior to September 1, 2022, we may redeem the 3.50% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal thereof, plus an applicable make-whole premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem up to 40% of the 3.50% Notes before September 1, 2022, with net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 103.50% of the principal thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after September 1, 2022, we may redeem the 3.50% Notes at the redemption prices noted in the indenture. Prior to June 15, 2024, we may redeem the 3.75% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal thereof, plus an applicable make-whole premium, and any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem up to 40% of the Notes before June 15, 2024, with net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 103.750% of the principal thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem the 3.75% Notes on or after June 15, 2024, at the redemption prices specified in the indenture.
Australia Loan Agreements
Penske Australia is party to two facilities with Volkswagen Financial Services Australia Pty Limited representing a five-year AU $50.0 million capital loan and a one-year AU $50.0 million working capital loan. Both facilities are subject to annual extensions. These agreements each provide the lender with a secured interest in all assets of these businesses. The loans bear interest at the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate 30-day Bill Rate plus 3.0%. Irrespective of the term of the agreements, both agreements provide the lender with the ability to call the loans on 90 days’ notice. These facilities are also guaranteed by our U.S. parent company up to AU $50.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had AU $33.8 million ($23.3 million) outstanding under the capital loan agreement and had AU $10.0 million ($6.9 million) outstanding borrowings under the working capital loan agreement.
Mortgage Facilities
We are party to several mortgages that bear interest at defined rates and require monthly principal and interest payments. We also have a revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation with a maximum borrowing capacity of $225 million contingent on property values and a borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2022, of $178.0 million. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and expires in December 2025. As of June 30, 2022, we had $35.0 million outstanding borrowings under this mortgage facility. Our mortgage facilities also contain typical events of default, including non-payment of obligations, cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness, certain change of control events, and the loss or sale of certain franchises operated at the properties. Substantially all of the buildings and improvements on the properties financed pursuant to the mortgage facilities are subject to security interests granted to the lender. As of June 30, 2022, we owed $366.9 million of principal under our mortgage facilities.
10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
We are involved in litigation which may relate to claims brought by governmental authorities, issues with customers, and employment related matters, including class action claims and purported class action claims. As of June 30, 2022, we were not party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a “rent coverage” ratio and a debt to EBITDA ratio, each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease. Refer to the disclosures provided in Note 3 for further description of our leases.
We have sold a number of dealerships to third parties and, as a condition to certain of those sales, remain liable for the lease payments relating to the properties on which those businesses operate in the event of non-payment by the buyer. We are also party to lease agreements on properties that we no longer use in our retail operations that we have sublet to third parties. We rely on subtenants to pay the rent and maintain the property at these locations. In the event the subtenant does not perform as expected, we may not be able to recover amounts owed to us, and we could be required to fulfill these obligations.
21

Our floor plan credit agreements with Mercedes Benz Financial Services Australia and Mercedes Benz Financial Services New Zealand (“MBA”) provide us revolving loans for the acquisition of commercial vehicles for distribution to our retail network. These facilities include a commitment to repurchase dealer vehicles in the event the dealer’s floor plan agreement with MBA is terminated.
We have $18.0 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and have posted $21.6 million of surety bonds in the ordinary course of business.
11. Equity
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 1,514,667 shares of our common stock for $156.2 million, or an average of $103.14 per share, under our securities repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,718,116 shares of our outstanding common stock for $275.4 million, or an average of $101.34 per share, under this program. In May 2022, our Board of Directors increased the authority delegated to management to repurchase our outstanding securities to $250 million, of which $167.9 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired 148,440 shares of our common stock for $17.2 million, or an average of $115.97 per share, from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards. In July 2022, our Board of Directors increased the authority delegated to management to repurchase our outstanding securities by $250 million. As a result, $330.6 million remained outstanding and available for repurchases as of July 26, 2022.

13. Segment Information
Our operations are organized by management into operating segments by line of business and geography. We have determined that we have four reportable segments as defined in generally accepted accounting principles for segment reporting: (i) Retail Automotive, consisting of our retail automotive dealership operations; (ii) Retail Commercial Truck, consisting of our retail commercial truck dealership operations in the U.S. and Canada; (iii) Other, consisting of our commercial vehicle and power systems distribution operations; and (iv) Non-Automotive Investments, consisting of our equity method investments in non-automotive operations which includes our investment in PTS and other various investments. The Retail Automotive reportable segment includes all automotive dealerships and all departments relevant to the operation of the dealerships and our retail automotive joint ventures. The individual dealership operations included in the Retail Automotive reportable segment represent six operating segments: Eastern, Central, and Western United States, Used Vehicle Dealerships United States, International, and Used Vehicle Dealerships International. These operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment as their operations (A) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive dealerships having similar margins), (B) offer similar products and services (all sell new and/or used vehicles, service, parts, and third-party finance and insurance products), (C) have similar target markets and customers (generally individuals), and (D) have similar distribution and marketing practices (all distribute products and services

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and "Forward-Looking Statements." We have acquired and initiated a number of businesses during the periods presented and addressed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Our financial statements include the results of operations of those businesses from the date acquired or when they commenced operations. Our period-to-period results of operations may vary depending on the dates of acquisitions or disposals.
Overview
We are a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial truck retailers. We operate dealerships principally in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan, and we are one of the largest retailers of commercial trucks in North America for Freightliner. We also distribute and retail commercial vehicles, diesel and gas engines, power systems, and related parts and services principally in Australia and New Zealand. We employ over 26,000 people worldwide. Additionally, we own 28.9% of Penske Transportation Solutions, a business that employs over 40,000 people worldwide and manages a fleet of over 386,000 vehicles providing innovative transportation, supply chain, and technology solutions to North American fleets.
Business Overview
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our business generated $13.9 billion in total revenue, which is comprised of approximately $12.0 billion from retail automotive dealerships, $1.6 billion from retail commercial truck dealerships, and $294.8 million from commercial vehicle distribution and other operations. We generated $2.5 billion in gross profit, which is comprised of $2.1 billion from retail automotive dealerships, $277.2 million from retail commercial truck dealerships, and $80.8 million from commercial vehicle distribution and other operations.
Retail Automotive. We are one of the largest global automotive retailers as measured by the $22.5 billion in total retail automotive dealership revenue we generated in 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we operated 332 retail automotive franchised dealerships, of which 152 are located in the U.S. and 180 are located outside of the U.S. The franchised dealerships outside the U.S. are located primarily in the U.K. We also operate 21 used vehicle dealerships in the U.S. and the U.K. which retail used vehicles under a one price, “no-haggle” methodology under the CarShop brand. Our CarShop operations consist of eight retail dealerships in the U.S. and 13 retail dealerships and a vehicle preparation center in the U.K. We retailed and wholesaled more than 276,000 vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2022. We are diversified geographically with 56% of our total retail automotive dealership revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2022, generated in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and 44% generated outside the U.S. We offer over 35 vehicle brands with 70% of our retail automotive franchised dealership revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022, generated from premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.
Each of our franchised dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of our dealerships through maintenance and repair services, the sale and placement of third-party finance and insurance products, third-party extended service and maintenance contracts, and replacement and aftermarket automotive products. We operate our franchised dealerships under franchise agreements with a number of automotive manufacturers and distributors that are subject to certain rights and restrictions typical of the industry. In March 2022, we agreed to transition our U.K. Mercedes Benz dealerships to an agency model beginning in 2023. Under an agency model, our U.K. Mercedes Benz dealerships will receive a fee for facilitating the sale by the manufacturer of a new vehicle but will not hold the vehicle in inventory. We will continue to provide new vehicle customer service at our U.K. Mercedes Benz dealerships, and the agency model does not structurally change our used vehicle sales operations or service and parts operations. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, for a discussion of agency.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired ten retail automotive franchises, consisting of six franchises in the U.K. and four franchises in the U.S., and we opened two retail automotive franchises that we were awarded in the U.S. Additionally, the Company has signed an agreement to acquire five Mercedes-Benz dealerships and three aftersales locations in North London, United Kingdom, from Mercedes-Benz Retail Group U.K. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions. We also

acquired a BMW/MINI collision center in the U.K. and a BMW/MINI collision center in the U.S. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we closed two CarShop satellite locations in the U.K. to reduce costs. Retail automotive dealerships represented 86.6% of our total revenues and 85.5% of our total gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. We operate Premier Truck Group (“PTG”), a heavy- and medium-duty truck dealership group offering primarily Freightliner and Western Star trucks (both Daimler brands) with locations across nine U.S. states and Ontario, Canada. During February 2022, we acquired TEAM Truck Centres, a retailer of heavy- and medium-duty Freightliner and Western Star commercial trucks located in Ontario, Canada representing four full-service dealerships. As of June 30, 2022, PTG operated 39 locations which sell new and used trucks, parts and service, and collision repair services, which decreased from 41 locations due to the closure of two parts and service locations as a result of the transition of customers to other existing locations. We retailed and wholesaled more than 9,100 trucks in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This business represented 11.2% of our total revenues and 11.2% of our total gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Penske Australia. Penske Australia is the exclusive importer and distributor of Western Star heavy-duty trucks (a Daimler Truck brand), MAN heavy- and medium-duty trucks and buses (a VW Group brand), and Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles, together with associated parts, across Australia, New Zealand, and portions of the Pacific. In most of these same markets, we are also a leading distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems, principally representing MTU (a Rolls-Royce solution), Detroit Diesel, Allison Transmission, and Bergen Engines. Penske Australia offers products across the on- and off-highway markets, including in the trucking, mining, power generation, defense, marine, rail, and construction sectors and supports full parts and aftersales service through a network of branches, field service locations, and dealers across the region. These businesses represented 2.2% of our total revenues and 3.3% of our total gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. (“PTL”). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”). We account for our investment in PTL under the equity method, and we therefore record our share of PTL’s earnings on our statements of income under the caption “Equity in earnings of affiliates,” which also includes the results of our other equity method investments. Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”) is the universal brand name for PTL’s various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers’ needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental, and contract maintenance along with logistic services, such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, transportation management, lead logistics provider services, and dry van truckload carrier services. We recorded $255.1 million and $156.2 million in equity earnings from this investment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We believe the increase in our PTS equity earnings is due to strong demand and profitability for commercial rental trucks and full-service leasing, as well as used vehicle sales.
Outlook
Retail Automotive. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, U.S. industry new light vehicle sales decreased 18.3%, as compared to the same period last year, to 6.8 million units, and U.K. new vehicle registrations decreased 11.9%, as compared to the same period last year, to 802,079 registrations. We believe the year over year decrease in overall sales is primarily attributable to a lower supply of new vehicles available for sale due to disruptions in the supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, production disruptions caused by a shortage of microchips or other components, and the recent war in Ukraine. Our new vehicle days’ supply is 21 as of June 30, 2022, compared to 17 as of December 31, 2021. While we expect to continue to have adequate levels of used vehicles for sale (our used vehicle days’ supply is 42 as of June 30, 2022, compared to 60 as of December 31, 2021), prolonged shortages could result in lower new vehicle sales volumes which could impact the availability and affordability of used vehicles and adversely affect us. The lower supply of new vehicles contributed to higher vehicle gross profit on both new and used vehicles sold, which contributed to our higher overall profitability. We expect lower inventories of new vehicles and parts disruptions to continue until the supply of certain components used to manufacture vehicles improves. When the supply of vehicles improves, we may experience reduced new and used vehicle gross profit together with higher sales volumes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our premium/luxury unit sales, which account for over 93% of our U.K. new unit sales, decreased 9.3% as compared to the same period last year, compared to a 21.4% decrease for the premium/luxury U.K. market and an 11.9% decrease for the overall U.K. market over the same prior year period, as many of the premium brands we represent in the U.K. market were impacted by production disruptions from the supply chain challenges.
26

Table of Contents
We believe U.K. new car sales were also impacted by potentially higher taxes on diesel-powered vehicles and consumer uncertainty about low emission zones as the U.K. and Western European countries consider the ramifications of diesel engines on the environment, while also providing government incentives on certain electric vehicles. Representatives of the U.K. government have proposed a ban on the sale of gasoline engines in new cars and new vans that would take effect as early as 2030 and a ban on the sale of gasoline hybrid engines in new cars and new vans as early as 2035. Sales of diesel-powered vehicles decreased 50.6%, and non-diesel vehicles decreased 7.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period last year. In the U.K., new registrations of electric vehicles, including Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), represented 32.2% of the overall market for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 22.5% for the same period last year, and represented 22.0% of our U.K. new unit sales, compared with 14.6% over the same prior year period.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, North American sales of Class 6-8 medium- and heavy-duty trucks, the principal vehicles for our PTG business, increased 1.0% from the same period last year to 206,480 units. The Class 6-7 medium-duty truck market increased 0.5% from the same period last year to 66,459 units, and Class 8 heavy-duty trucks, the largest North American market, increased 1.2% from the same period last year to 140,021 units. The truck market is experiencing the same production issues noted above as the Class 6-8 medium- and heavy-duty truck backlog decreased only 2.6% from the same period last year to 333,796 units. We expect lower inventories of new commercial trucks and parts disruptions to continue until the supply of certain components used to manufacture commercial trucks improves. When the supply of commercial trucks improves, we may experience reduced new and used commercial truck gross profit per unit together with higher sales volumes.
Commercial Vehicle Distribution and Other. Penske Australia operates principally in the Australian and New Zealand heavy and medium-duty truck markets. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Australian heavy-duty truck market reported sales of 6,916 units, representing an increase of 19.4% from the same period last year, while the New Zealand market reported sales of 1,668 units, representing an increase of 15.2% from the same period last year.
Penske Transportation Solutions. A majority of PTS's revenue is generated by multi-year contracts for full-service leasing, contract maintenance, and logistics services. We expect continued resilient performance in 2022 as PTS has experienced strong demand and profitability for commercial rental trucks and full-service leasing, as well as used vehicle sales.
As described in “Forward-Looking Statements,” there are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
Operating Overview
Automotive and commercial truck dealerships represent over 95% and 70% of our revenue and our earnings before taxes, respectively. Income from our PTS investment represents over 25% of our earnings before taxes. New and used vehicle revenues typically include sales to retail customers, fleet customers, and leasing companies providing consumer leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, commissions relating to the sale of finance and lease contracts to third parties, and the sales of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid by customers for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts and other aftermarket accessories as well as warranty repairs that are reimbursed directly by various vehicle manufacturers.
Our gross profit tends to vary with the mix of revenues we derive from the sale of new vehicles, used vehicles, finance and insurance products, and service and parts transactions. Our gross profit varies across product lines with vehicle sales usually resulting in lower gross profit margins and our other revenues resulting in higher gross profit margins. Factors such as inventory and vehicle availability, customer demand, consumer confidence, unemployment, general economic conditions, seasonality, weather, credit availability, fuel prices, and manufacturers’ advertising and incentives also impact the mix of our revenues and therefore, influence our gross profit margin.
The results of our commercial vehicle distribution and other business in Australia and New Zealand are principally driven by the number and types of products and vehicles ordered by our customers.
Aggregate revenue and gross profit decreased $80.6 million, or 1.2%, and increased $54.3 million, or 4.6%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and increased $1,121.0 million, or 8.8%, and increased $372.8 million, or 17.8%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021.

As exchange rates fluctuate, our revenue and results of operations as reported in U.S. Dollars fluctuate. For example, if the British Pound were to weaken against the U.S. Dollar, our U.K. results of operations would translate into less U.S. Dollar reported results. Foreign currency average rate fluctuations decreased revenue and gross profit by $245.2 million and $33.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and decreased revenue and gross profit by $279.8 million and $36.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Foreign currency average rate fluctuations decreased earnings per share from continuing operations by approximately $0.11 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and decreased earnings per share from continuing operations by approximately $0.16 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the impact of foreign currency average rate fluctuations, revenue and gross profit increased 2.4% and increased 7.4%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and increased 11.0% and increased 19.5%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Our selling expenses consist of advertising and compensation for sales personnel, including commissions and related bonuses. General and administrative expenses include compensation for administration, finance, legal and general management personnel, rent, insurance, utilities, and other expenses. As the majority of our selling expenses are variable and a significant portion of our general and administrative expenses are subject to our control, we believe our expenses can be adjusted over time to reflect economic trends.
Equity in earnings of affiliates principally represents our share of the earnings from PTS, along with our investments in joint ventures and other non-consolidated investments.
Floor plan interest expense relates to financing incurred in connection with the acquisition of new and used vehicle inventories that are secured by those vehicles. Other interest expense consists of interest charges on all of our interest-bearing debt, other than interest relating to floor plan financing, and includes interest relating to our retail commercial truck dealership and commercial vehicle distribution and other operations. The cost of our variable rate indebtedness is based on the prime rate, defined LIBOR, the Bank of England Base Rate, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate.
Regulatory authorities in the U.S. have announced their intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR, ending after June 30, 2023, for the LIBOR tenors that are relevant to our business. Our senior secured revolving credit facility in the U.S. and many of our floorplan arrangements utilize LIBOR as a benchmark for calculating the applicable interest rate, although some of our floorplan arrangements and our U.K. credit agreement have already transitioned to utilizing an alternative benchmark rate. Our U.K. credit agreement transitioned from LIBOR to SONIA as of January 1, 2022. We cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to or elimination of LIBOR or the establishment and use of alternative rates or benchmarks and the corresponding effects on our cost of capital.
The future success of our business is dependent upon, among other things, general economic and industry conditions, including the effect of COVID-19 on the global economy; the distribution rate and acceptance of vaccines for COVID-19; our ability to react effectively to changing business conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic; the rate of inflation; our ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions; the level of vehicle sales in the markets where we operate; our ability to obtain vehicles and parts from our manufacturers, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, including global shortages in microchip availability or other vehicle components; changes in the retail model either from direct sales by manufacturers, transition to an agency model of sales, sales by online competitors, or from the expansion of electric vehicles; our ability to realize returns on our significant capital investment in new and upgraded dealership facilities; our ability to navigate a rapidly changing automotive and truck landscape; the success of our distribution of commercial vehicles, engines, and power systems; and the return realized from our investments in various joint ventures and other non-consolidated investments. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of accounting policies that often involve making estimates and employing judgments. Such judgments influence the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses recognized in our financial statements. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews these estimates and assumptions. Management may determine that modifications in assumptions and estimates are required, which may result in a material change in our results of operations or financial position.
The accounting policies and estimates that we believe to be most dependent upon the use of estimates and assumptions are revenue recognition, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, investments, self-insurance reserves, lease recognition, and income taxes. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Table of Contents
Operations” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional detail and discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates. There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies and estimates as described in our most recent Annual Report.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 1 and Note 3 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for disclosures regarding estimates and judgments related to lease recognition. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 2 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for disclosures regarding estimates and judgments related to revenue recognition. Refer to “Income Taxes” within Part I, Item 1, Note 1 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for disclosures regarding estimates and judgments related to income taxes.
Results of Operations
The following tables present comparative financial data relating to our operating performance in the aggregate and on a “same-store” basis. Dealership results are included in same-store comparisons when we have consolidated the acquired entity during the entirety of both periods being compared. As an example, if a dealership were acquired on January 15, 2020, the results of the acquired entity would be included in annual same-store comparisons beginning with the year ended December 31, 2022, and in quarterly same-store comparisons beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Units
Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased from 2021 to 2022 due to a 14,735 unit, or 25.5%, decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, partially offset by a 2,461 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. Same-store units decreased 30.1% in the U.S. and decreased 15.4% internationally. Overall, new unit sales decreased 27.0% in the U.S. and decreased 8.3% internationally. We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales is due to a lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.
Revenues
New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $499.3 million, or 17.8%, decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by a $134.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $92.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store new retail revenue decreased 14.5%. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $716.4 million, partially offset by a $5,052 per unit increase in same-store comparative average selling price (including a $2,145 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $217.1 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average selling price is due to increased customer demand and a lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.

Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales increased from 2021 to 2022 due to an $18.7 million, or 6.8%, increase in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $17.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $11.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit increased 10.8%. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to a $2,072 per unit increase in same-store comparative average gross profit (including a $257 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased gross profit by $89.1 million, partially offset by the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $70.4 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is attributed to increased customer demand and a lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.

Units
Retail unit sales of used vehicles decreased from 2021 to 2022 due to a 7,788 unit, or 10.5%, decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, partially offset by a 3,074 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. Our same-store units decreased 14.7% in the U.S. and decreased 6.7% internationally. Same-store retail units for our U.S. and U.K. CarShop used vehicle dealerships decreased 32.4% and increased 10.6%, respectively. Overall, our used units decreased 11.2% in the U.S. and decreased 1.9% internationally. We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales is primarily due to higher used unit prices attributable to lower overall vehicle inventory availability for sale, impacting the affordability of used vehicles for customers, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $98.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $38.1 million, or 1.6%, decrease in same-store revenues. Excluding $139.3 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store used retail revenue increased 4.4%. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $242.9 million, partially offset by a $3,081 per unit increase in same-store comparative average selling price (including a $2,095 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $204.8 million. The average sales price per unit for our CarShop used vehicle dealerships increased 4.3% to $19,331. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average selling price is primarily due to consumers looking to acquire used vehicles to compensate for the lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales decreased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $44.6 million, or 23.1%, decrease in same-store gross profit, partially offset by a $5.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $7.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 19.0%. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to a $367 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit (including a $118 per unit decrease

attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which decreased gross profit by $24.4 million, coupled with the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $20.2 million. The average gross profit per unit for our CarShop used vehicle dealerships decreased 43.2% to $770. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to the increased cost of acquiring used vehicles resulting from the lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which decreased our gross margin.

Finance and insurance revenue increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $7.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, coupled with a $1.8 million, or 0.9%, increase in same-store revenues. Excluding $9.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store finance and insurance revenue increased 5.2%. The increase in same-store revenue is due to a $347 per unit increase in same-store comparative average finance and insurance revenue (including an $84 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $38.0 million, partially offset by the decrease in same-store retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $36.2 million. Finance and insurance revenue per unit increased 30.2% in the U.S. and increased 8.0% in the U.K. We believe the increase in same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit is primarily due to our efforts to increase finance and insurance penetration, which include implementing interactive digital customer sales platforms, additional training, and targeting underperforming locations, coupled with the increase in average selling price per unit of new and used vehicles. Changes in the sales mix from lower leasing and a higher amount of purchases have also driven higher product penetration rates.

Service and parts revenue increased from 2021 to 2022, with an increase of 12.7% in the U.S. and an increase of 2.6% internationally. The increase in service and parts revenue is due to a $26.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, coupled with a $24.2 million, or 4.4%, increase in same-store revenues. Excluding $20.6 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store revenue increased 8.2%. The increase in same-store revenue is due to a $35.1 million, or 9.0%, increase in customer pay revenue and a $3.6 million, or 11.2%, increase in vehicle preparation and body shop revenue, partially offset by a $14.5 million, or 11.6%, decrease in warranty revenue. We believe the increase in same-store service and parts revenue is related to increases in vehicle miles traveled compared to the same period last year, coupled with the prolonged reliance on older vehicles resulting from the limited supply of new vehicles, which generates additional service and parts revenues.

We believe the increase in same-store comparative average selling price is due to increased customer demand and a limited supply of new trucks available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.

We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales is primarily due to a lower supply of new replacement trucks available for sale causing customers to use their existing trucks longer, which lower supply has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above, and higher used unit prices impacting the affordability of used trucks for customers.
Revenues
Used commercial truck retail sales revenue increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $12.5 million, or 21.2%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $7.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions.

We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to the increased cost of acquiring used trucks resulting from the lower supply of new trucks available for sale, which decreased our gross margin.

approximately 81.4% of PTG’s service and parts revenue, largely due to the significant amount of retail sales of parts and accessories.

The increase in same-store gross profit is due to the increase in same-store revenues, which increased gross profit by $15.3 million, coupled with a 0.1% increase in same-store gross margin, which increased gross profit by $0.1 million. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to a $12.8 million, or 27.7%, increase in customer pay gross profit and a $2.6 million, or 18.3%, increase in warranty gross profit.

Excluding $11.5 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, revenue decreased 7.4% primarily due to a decrease in commercial vehicle unit sales due to a limited supply of commercial vehicles available for sale, which we believe has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above. Excluding $3.3 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, gross profit increased 11.9% primarily due to an increase in commercial vehicle gross profit per unit and an increase in gross profit per unit in our power generation product lines.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $27.3 million, or 3.7%, increase in same-store SG&A, coupled with a $40.6 million increase from net acquisitions. Excluding $31.9 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store SG&A increased 7.9%. SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 66.1%, an increase of 270 basis points compared to 63.4% in the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11.8% and 10.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We believe the increase in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit is primarily due to the inflationary effect on our personnel, rent, and other expenses.

Income taxes increased from 2021 to 2022 primarily due to a $35.9 million increase in our pre-tax income compared to the prior year. Our effective tax rate was 24.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 26.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to fluctuations in our geographic pre-tax income mix, coupled with the increase in net income tax expense in the prior year of $8.8 million related to U.K. tax legislation changes.

Retail unit sales of new vehicles decreased from 2021 to 2022 due to a 21,240 unit, or 19.7%, decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, partially offset by a 4,085 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. Same-store units decreased 22.5% in the U.S. and decreased 13.9% internationally. Overall, new unit sales decreased 19.2% in the U.S. and decreased 9.1% internationally. We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales is due to a lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.
Revenues
New vehicle retail sales revenue decreased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $571.3 million, or 11.0%, decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by a $230.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $128.1 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store new retail revenue decreased 8.5%. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $1,025.5 million, partially offset by a $5,238 per unit increase in same-store comparative average selling price (including a $1,480 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $454.2 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average selling price is due to increased customer demand and a lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $110.6 million, or 23.1%, increase in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $31.5 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $15.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit increased 26.2%. The increase in same-store gross profit

is due to a $2,364 per unit increase in same-store comparative average gross profit (including a $175 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased gross profit by $205.0 million, partially offset by the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $94.4 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is attributed to increased customer demand and a lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.

Retail unit sales of used vehicles increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a 5,795 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a 2,721 unit, or 2.0%, decrease in same-store used retail unit sales. Our same-store units decreased 12.1% in the U.S. and increased 8.0% internationally. Same-store retail units for our U.S. and U.K. CarShop used vehicle dealerships decreased 27.5% and increased 39.4%, respectively. Overall, our used units decreased 8.7% in the U.S. and increased 13.2% internationally. We believe the increase in same-store unit sales in the U.K. is primarily due to the lifting of lockdown restrictions due to COVID-19 compared to the same period last year. We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales in the U.S. is primarily due to higher used unit prices attributable to lower overall vehicle inventory availability for sale, impacting the affordability of used vehicles for customers, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $489.3 million, or 11.9%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $185.8 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $181.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store used retail revenue increased 16.3%. The increase in same-store revenue is due to a $4,346 per unit increase in same-store comparative average selling price (including a $1,374 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $572.6 million, partially offset by the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $83.3 million. The average sales price per unit for our CarShop used vehicle dealerships increased 12.6% to $20,498. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average selling price is primarily due to consumers looking to acquire used vehicles to compensate for the lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $10.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $3.4 million, or 1.1%, decrease in same-store gross profit. Excluding $10.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit increased 2.3%. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $6.0 million, partially offset by a $20 per unit increase in same-store comparative average gross profit (including a $78 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased gross profit by $2.6 million. The average gross

profit per unit for our CarShop used vehicle dealerships decreased 34.8% to $765. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to consumers looking to acquire used vehicles to compensate for the lower supply of new vehicles available for sale, which has been caused by supply chain issues discussed above.

Finance and insurance revenue increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $44.7 million, or 11.8%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $12.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $11.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store finance and insurance revenue increased 14.9%. The increase in same-store revenue is due to a $376 per unit increase in same-store comparative average finance and insurance revenue (including a $54 per unit decrease attributable to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $82.1 million, partially offset by the decrease in same-store retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $37.4 million. Finance and insurance revenue per unit increased 32.0% in the U.S. and increased 12.1% in the U.K. We believe the increase in same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit is primarily due to our efforts to increase finance and insurance penetration, which include implementing interactive digital customer sales platforms, additional training, and targeting underperforming locations, coupled with the increase in average selling price per unit of new and used vehicles. Changes in the sales mix from lower leasing and a higher amount of purchases have also driven higher product penetration rates.

Service and parts revenue increased from 2021 to 2022, with an increase of 14.8% in the U.S. and an increase of 8.8% internationally. The increase in service and parts revenue is due to an $88.5 million, or 8.5%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $45.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $28.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store revenue increased 11.2%. The increase in same-store revenue is due to a $99.5 million, or 13.4%, increase in customer pay revenue and an $8.1 million, or 13.0%, increase in vehicle preparation and body shop revenue, partially offset by a $19.1 million, or 7.9%, decrease in warranty revenue. We believe the increase in same-store service and parts revenue is related to increases in vehicle miles traveled compared to the same period last year, coupled with the prolonged reliance on older vehicles resulting from the limited supply of new vehicles, which generates additional service and parts revenues.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit increased from 2021 to 2022 due to a $42.6 million, or 6.7%, increase in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $24.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $16.5 million of

unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit increased 9.2%.

The increase in same-store gross profit is due to a $45.8 million, or 12.6%, increase in customer pay gross profit and a $6.1 million, or 4.2%, increase in vehicle preparation and body shop gross profit, partially offset by a $9.3 million, or 7.0%, decrease in warranty gross profit.

Excluding $30.9 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store SG&A increased 10.8%. The increase in SG&A expenses is
41

primarily due to the inflationary effect on our personnel, rent, and other expenses. SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 65.4%, a decrease of 210 basis points compared to 67.5% in the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11.6% and 11.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We believe the decrease in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit is comprised of increased gross profit across our various business lines.

Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital, inventory financing, the acquisition of new businesses, the improvement and expansion of existing facilities, the purchase or construction of new facilities, debt service and repayments, dividends, and potential repurchases of our outstanding securities under the program discussed below. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit agreements and floor plan arrangements, the issuance of debt securities, sale-leaseback transactions, real estate financings, and dividends and distributions from joint venture investments.
We have historically expanded our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of dealerships and other businesses. We believe that cash flow from operations, dividends and distributions from PTS and our joint venture investments, and our existing capital resources, including the liquidity provided by our credit agreements and floor plan financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our existing operations and current commitments for at least the next twelve months. In the event that economic conditions are more severely impacted than we expect due to the COVID-19 pandemic or vehicle shortages resulting from supply chain difficulties, we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, pursue significant repurchases of our outstanding securities, or refinance or repay existing debt, we may need to raise additional capital either through the public or private issuance of equity or debt securities or through additional borrowings, which sources of funds may not necessarily be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted in the event we fail to comply with the covenants under our various financing and operating agreements or in the event our floor plan financing is withdrawn. Future events, including acquisitions, divestitures, new or revised operating lease agreements, borrowings or repayments under our credit agreements and our floor plan arrangements, raising capital, and purchases or refinancing of our securities, may also impact our liquidity.
We expect that scheduled payments of our debt instruments will be funded through cash flows from operations or borrowings under our credit agreements. In the case of payments upon the maturity or termination dates of our debt instruments, we currently expect to be able to refinance such instruments in the normal course of business or otherwise fund them from cash flows from operations or borrowings under our credit agreements. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 9 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements set forth below for a detailed description of our long-term debt obligations and scheduled interest payments.
Floor plan notes payable are revolving inventory-secured financing arrangements. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 7 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of financing for the vehicles we purchase, including discussion of our floor plan and other revolving arrangements.
Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 10 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements which includes a repurchase commitment related to our floor plan credit agreement with Mercedes Benz Financial Services Australia and Mercedes Benz Financial Services New Zealand.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $154.9 million of cash available to fund our operations and capital commitments. In addition, we had $800.0 million, £162.0 million ($197.3 million), AU $40.0 million ($27.6 million), and $142.8 million available for borrowing under our U.S. credit agreement, U.K. credit agreement, Australian working capital loan agreement, and the revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, respectively.

Securities Repurchases
From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized securities repurchase programs pursuant to which we may, as market conditions warrant, purchase our outstanding common stock or debt on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, via a tender offer, through a pre-arranged trading plan, pursuant to the terms of an accelerated share repurchase program, or by other means. We have historically funded any such repurchases using cash flow from operations, borrowings under our U.S. credit agreement, and borrowings under our U.S. floor plan arrangements. The decision to make repurchases will be based on factors such as general economic and industry conditions, the market price of the relevant security versus our view of its intrinsic value, the potential impact of such repurchases on our capital structure, and our consideration of any alternative uses of our capital, such as for acquisitions, the repayment of our existing indebtedness, and strategic investments in our current businesses, in addition to any then-existing limits imposed by our finance agreements and securities trading policy. In May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $250 million worth of our securities, of which $167.9 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2022. In July 2022, our Board of Directors increased the authority delegated to management to repurchase our outstanding securities by $250 million. As a result, $330.6 million remained outstanding and available for repurchases as of July 26, 2022. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 11 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a summary of shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Dividends
We paid the following cash dividends on our common stock in 2021 and 2022:
Per Share Dividends
2021
First Quarter$0.43 
Second Quarter$0.44 
Third Quarter$0.45 
Fourth Quarter$0.46 
2022
First Quarter$0.47 
Second Quarter$0.50 
We also announced a cash dividend of $0.53 per share payable on September 1, 2022 to stockholders of record on August 10, 2022. While future quarterly or other cash dividends will depend upon a variety of factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors, which may include our expectations regarding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, vehicle production issues, the rate of inflation, earnings, cash flow, capital requirements, restrictions relating to any then-existing indebtedness, financial condition, alternative uses of capital, and other factors, we currently expect to continue to pay comparable dividends in the future.

As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit agreements, and we believe we will remain in compliance with such covenants for the next twelve months. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 9 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a detailed description of our long-term debt obligations.
Short-Term Borrowings
We have five principal sources of short-term borrowings: the revolving portion of the U.S. credit agreement, the revolving portion of the U.K. credit agreement, our Australian working capital loan agreement, the revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, and the floor plan agreements that we utilize to finance our vehicle inventories. We are also able to access availability under the floor plan agreements to fund our cash needs, including payments made relating to our higher interest rate revolving credit agreements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, outstanding revolving commitments varied between $0.0 million and $168.0 million under the U.S. credit agreement, between £0.0 million and £42.0 million ($0.0 million and $51.1 million) under the U.K. credit agreement’s revolving credit line (excluding the overdraft facility), between AU $0.0 million and AU $15.0 million ($0.0 million and $10.4 million) under the Australia working capital loan agreement, and between $0.0 million and $177.8 million under the revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. The amounts outstanding under our floor plan agreements varied based on the timing of the receipt and expenditure of cash in our operations, driven principally by the levels of our vehicle inventories.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate floor plan debt. In April 2020, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300.0 million of our U.S. floating rate floor plan debt was fixed at 0.5875% This arrangement was in effect through April 2025. However, we terminated this arrangement in November 2021.
PTS Dividends
We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in PTS as noted above. Their partnership agreement requires PTS, subject to applicable law and the terms of its credit agreements, to make quarterly distributions to the partners with respect to each fiscal year by no later than 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of the year and by April 15 of the following year. PTS’ partnership agreement and certain of its debt agreements allow partner distributions only as long as it is not in default under those agreements and the amount it pays does not exceed 50% of its consolidated net income, unless its debt-to-equity ratio is less than 3.0 to 1, in which case its distributions may not exceed 80% of its consolidated net income. We receive pro rata cash distributions relating to this investment, typically in April, May, August, and November of each year. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we received $104.9 million and $55.1 million, respectively, of pro rata cash distributions relating to this investment. We currently expect to continue to receive future distributions from PTS quarterly, subject to its financial performance.
45

Sale/Leaseback Arrangements
We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds that vary from period to period.
Operating Leases
We estimate the total rent obligations under our operating leases, including any extension periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise at our discretion and assuming constant consumer price indices, to be $5.3 billion. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under these leases consisting principally of leases for dealership and other properties, and we believe we will remain in compliance with such covenants for the next twelve months. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 3 and Note 10 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of our operating leases.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
The following is a description of the terms and conditions of the guarantees with respect to senior subordinated notes of Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (“PAG”) as the issuer of the 3.50% Notes and the 3.75% Notes (collectively the “Senior Subordinated Notes”).
Each of the Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured, senior subordinated obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by our 100% owned U.S. subsidiaries. Each of the Senior Subordinated Notes also contain customary negative covenants and events of default. If we experience certain “change of control” events specified in their respective indentures, holders of these Senior Subordinated Notes will have the option to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds thereof or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Guarantor subsidiaries are directly or indirectly 100% owned by PAG, and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The guarantees may be released under certain circumstances upon resale or transfer by us of the stock of the related guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of the guarantor to a non-affiliate. Non-wholly owned and foreign subsidiaries of PAG do not guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The following tables present summarized financial information for PAG and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis. The financial information of PAG and Guarantor Subsidiaries is presented on a combined basis; intercompany balances and transactions between PAG and Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated; PAG’s or Guarantor Subsidiaries’ amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with non-issuer and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and related parties are disclosed separately.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents$54.2 $115.7 
Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities
Cash flows from continuing operating activities includes net income, as adjusted for non-cash items and the effects of changes in working capital.
We finance substantially all of the commercial vehicles we purchase for distribution, new vehicles for retail sale, and a portion of our used vehicle inventories for retail sale under floor plan and other revolving arrangements with various lenders, including the captive finance companies associated with automotive manufacturers. We retain the right to select which, if any, financing source to utilize in connection with the procurement of vehicle inventories. Many vehicle manufacturers provide vehicle financing for the dealers representing their brands; however, it is not a requirement that we utilize this financing. Historically, our floor plan finance source has been based on aggregate pricing considerations.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles relating to the statement of cash flows, we report all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable with the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle as an operating activity in our statement of cash flows, and we report all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle, all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles, and all floor plan notes payable related to our commercial vehicles in Australia and New Zealand as a financing activity in our statement of cash flows. Currently, the majority of our non-trade vehicle financing is with other manufacturer captive lenders. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us vehicle financing.
We believe that changes in aggregate floor plan liabilities are typically linked to changes in vehicle inventory and therefore, are an integral part of understanding changes in our working capital and operating cash flow. As a result, we prepare the following reconciliation to highlight our operating cash flows with all changes in vehicle floor plan being
47

classified as an operating activity for informational purposes:
Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)20222021
Net cash from continuing operating activities as reported $879.2 $916.7 
Floor plan notes payable — non-trade as reported (115.6)(181.9)
Net cash from continuing operating activities including all floor plan notes payable $763.6 $734.8 
Cash Flows from Continuing Investing Activities
Cash flows from continuing investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of dealerships, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, and net expenditures for acquisitions and other investments. Capital expenditures were $138.1 million and $90.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Capital expenditures relate primarily to improvements to our existing dealership facilities, the construction of new facilities, the acquisition of the property or buildings associated with existing leased facilities, and the acquisition of land for future development. We currently expect to finance our capital expenditures with operating cash flows or borrowings under our credit agreements. We had no proceeds from the sale of dealerships during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment were $11.4 million and $31.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash used in acquisitions and other investments, net of cash acquired, was $225.9 million and 278.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and included cash used to repay sellers’ floor plan liabilities in such business acquisitions of $51.3 million and $24.3 million, respectively.
Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities
Cash flows from continuing financing activities include net borrowings or repayments of long-term debt, net borrowings or repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade, repurchases of common stock, dividends, and payments for debt issuance costs.
We had net borrowings of long-term debt of $23.8 million and net repayments of long-term debt of $171.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We had net repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade of $115.6 million and $181.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We repurchased 2.7 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock under our securities repurchase program for $275.4 million and $28.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We acquired 0.15 million and 0.15 million shares from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards for $17.2 million and $12.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We also paid cash dividends to our stockholders of $74.4 million and $70.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We made payments of $0.1 million and $6.1 million for debt issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Related Party Transactions
Stockholders Agreement
Several of our directors and officers are affiliated with Penske Corporation or related entities. Roger Penske, our Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is also Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Penske Corporation and through entities affiliated with Penske Corporation is our largest stockholder owning approximately 47% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsui & Co. (USA), Inc. (collectively, “Mitsui”) own approximately 18% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui, Penske Corporation, and certain other affiliates of Penske Corporation are parties to a stockholders agreement pursuant to which the Penske affiliated companies agreed to vote their shares for up to two directors who are representatives of Mitsui. In turn, Mitsui agreed to vote their shares for up to fourteen directors voted for by the Penske affiliated companies. This agreement terminates in March 2030, upon the mutual consent of the parties, or when either party no longer owns any of our common stock.
Other Related Party Interests and Transactions
Robert Kurnick, Jr., our President and a director, is also the Vice Chair and a director of Penske Corporation. Bud Denker, our Executive Vice President, Human Resources, is also the President of Penske Corporation. Greg Penske, one of
48

our directors, is the son of our chair and is also a director of Penske Corporation. Michael Eisenson, one of our directors, is also a director of Penske Corporation. Kota Odagiri, one of our directors, is also an employee of Mitsui & Co.
We sometimes pay to and/or receive fees from Penske Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates for services rendered in the ordinary course of business or to reimburse payments made to third parties on each other’s behalf. These transactions are reviewed periodically by our Audit Committee and reflect the provider’s cost or an amount mutually agreed upon by both parties.

Automotive Joint Ventures
From time to time, we enter into joint venture relationships in the ordinary course of business, pursuant to which we own and operate automotive dealerships together with other investors. We may also provide these dealerships with working capital and other debt financing at costs that are based on our prevailing borrowing rate. As of June 30, 2022, our automotive joint venture relationships were as follows:

Additionally, we are party to non-automotive joint ventures representing our investments in PTS (28.9%) and Penske Commercial Leasing Australia (28%) that are accounted for under the equity method.
Cyclicality
Unit sales of motor vehicles, particularly new vehicles, have been cyclical historically, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the automotive and truck retailing industries tend to experience periods of decline and recession similar to those experienced by the general economy. We believe that these industries are influenced by general economic conditions and particularly, by consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, the rate of inflation, fuel prices, interest rates, and credit availability.
Our business is dependent on a number of factors, including general economic conditions, the availability of vehicle inventory, fuel prices, the rate of inflation, interest rate fluctuations, credit availability, labor availability, environmental and other government regulations, and customer business cycles. U.S. light vehicle sales have ranged from a low of 10.4 million units in 2009 to a high of 17.5 million units in 2016. Unit sales of new commercial vehicles have historically been subject to substantial cyclical variation based on these general economic conditions. According to data published by ACT Research, in recent years, total U.S. retail sales of new Class 8 commercial vehicles have ranged from a low of approximately 97,000 in 2009 to a high of approximately 334,000 in 2019. Through geographic diversification, concentration on higher margin regular service and parts revenues, and diversification of our customer base, we have attempted to reduce the negative impact of adverse general economic conditions or cyclical trends affecting any one industry or geographic area on our earnings.
Seasonality
Retail Automotive Dealership. Our business is modestly seasonal overall. Our U.S. operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the second and third quarters of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and the introduction of new vehicle models. Also, vehicle demand, and to a lesser extent demand for service and parts, is generally lower during the winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of the U.S. where dealerships may be subject
49

to severe winters. Our U.K. operations generally experience higher volumes of new vehicle sales in the first and third quarters of each year, due primarily to new vehicle registration practices in the U.K.
Inflation
Many of our market countries are experiencing a high rate of inflation. Inflation affects the price of vehicles, the price of parts, the rate of pay of our employees, and consumer demand. Used vehicle prices in particular have experienced a higher rate of inflation recently, and continued higher rates of inflation may adversely affect consumer demand and increase our costs, which may materially and adversely affect us.

Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important factors that could cause actual results to
50

differ materially from our expectations include the following:
we depend on the success, popularity and availability of the brands we sell, and adverse conditions affecting one or more of these vehicle manufacturers, including the adverse impact on the vehicle and parts supply chain due to natural disasters, the shortage of microchips or other components, the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles and parts to us may negatively impact our revenues and profitability;
our business and the automotive retail and commercial vehicles industries in general are susceptible to adverse economic and geo-political conditions, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, customer demand, customer confidence, the rate of inflation, fuel prices, unemployment rates and credit availability;
increased tariffs, import product restrictions, and foreign trade risks that may impair our ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably;
the number of new and used vehicles sold in our markets, which impacts our ability to generate new and used vehicle gross profit;
the effect on our businesses of the changing retail environment due to certain manufacturers selling direct to consumers outside the franchise system, changes to an agency model of distribution in the U.K and Europe which will negatively impact revenues, reduce SG&A costs, and reduce floor plan interest expense (although other impacts to our results of operations remain uncertain), and the growing number of electric vehicles;
the effect on our businesses of the new mobility technologies such as shared vehicle services, such as Uber and Lyft, and the eventual availability of driverless vehicles;
vehicle manufacturers exercise significant control over our operations, and we depend on them and the continuation of our franchise and distribution agreements in order to operate our business;
we are subject to the risk that a substantial number of our new or used inventory may be unavailable due to recall or other reasons;
the success of our commercial vehicle distribution operations and engine and power systems distribution operations depends upon continued availability of the vehicles, engines, power systems, and other parts we distribute, demand for those vehicles, engines, power systems, and parts and general economic conditions in those markets;
a restructuring of any significant vehicle manufacturer or supplier;
our operations may be affected by severe weather or other periodic business interruptions;
we have substantial risk of loss not covered by insurance;
we may not be able to satisfy our capital requirements for acquisitions, facility renovation projects, financing the purchase of our inventory, or refinancing of our debt when it becomes due;
our level of indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain financing generally and may require that a significant portion of our cash flow be used for debt service;
non-compliance with the financial ratios and other covenants under our credit agreements and operating leases;
higher interest rates may significantly increase our variable rate interest costs and because many customers finance their vehicle purchases, decrease vehicle sales;
our operations outside of the U.S. subject our profitability to fluctuations relating to changes in foreign currency values;
with respect to PTS, changes in the financial health of its customers, labor strikes or work stoppages by its employees, a reduction in PTS’ asset utilization rates, continued availability from truck manufacturers and suppliers of vehicles and parts for its fleet, changes in values of used trucks which affects PTS’ profitability on
51

truck sales, compliance costs in regard to its trucking fleet and truck drivers, its ability to retain qualified drivers and technicians, risks associated with its participation in multi-employer pension plans, conditions in the capital markets to assure PTS’ continued availability of capital to purchase trucks, the effect of changes in lease accounting rules on PTS customers’ purchase/lease decisions, and industry competition, each of which could impact distributions to us;
we are dependent on continued security and availability of our information technology systems, which systems are increasingly threatened by ransomware and other cyberattacks, and we may be subject to fines, penalties, and other costs under applicable privacy laws if we do not maintain our confidential customer and employee information properly;
if we lose key personnel, especially our Chief Executive Officer, or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel;
new or enhanced regulations relating to automobile dealerships including those enacted in certain European countries, Washington, California, Massachusetts, and New York banning the sale of new vehicles with gasoline engines (with regulations in Europe and Washington starting as early as 2030);
changes in tax, financial or regulatory rules, or requirements;
we could be subject to legal and administrative proceedings which, if the outcomes are adverse to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business;
if state dealer laws in the U.S. are repealed or weakened or new manufacturers such as those selling electric vehicles are able to conduct significant vehicle sales outside of the franchised automotive system, our automotive dealerships may be subject to increased competition and may be more susceptible to termination, non-renewal, or renegotiation of their franchise agreements;
some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related party transactions and other business interests; and
shares of our common stock eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
We urge you to carefully consider these risk factors and further information identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in evaluating all forward-looking statements regarding our business. Readers of this report are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, we have no intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on a significant portion of our outstanding debt. Outstanding revolving balances under our credit agreements bear interest at variable rates based on a margin over defined LIBOR, SONIA, the Bank of England Base Rate, or the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate. Based on an average of the aggregate amounts outstanding under these facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, a 100-basis-point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $0.9 million change to our annual other interest expense.
Similarly, amounts outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements bear interest at a variable rate based on a margin over the prime rate, defined LIBOR, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate. Based on an average of the aggregate amounts outstanding under our floor plan financing arrangements subject to variable interest payments during the six months ended June 30, 2022, a 100-basis-point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $19.4 million change to our annual floor plan interest expense.
We evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and follow established policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to

mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. These policies include:
the maintenance of our overall debt portfolio with fixed and variable rate components;
the use of authorized derivative instruments;
the prohibition of using derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes; and
the prohibition of highly leveraged derivatives, derivatives which we are unable to reliably value, or derivatives which we are unable to obtain a market quotation.
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our fixed rate debt, including our swaps, mortgages, and certain seller financed promissory notes but with respect to such fixed rate debt instruments, do not impact our earnings or cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. As of June 30, 2022, we had consolidated operations in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In each of these markets, the local currency is the functional currency. In the event we change our intent with respect to the investment in any of our international operations, we would expect to implement strategies designed to manage those risks in an effort to mitigate the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. A ten percent change in average exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in an approximate $561.9 million change to our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
We purchase certain of our new vehicles, parts, and other products from non-U.S. manufacturers. Although we purchase the majority of our inventories in the local functional currency, our business is subject to certain risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, changes in tax and tariff rates, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign currency exchange rate volatility, which may influence such manufacturers’ ability to provide their products at competitive prices in the local jurisdictions. Our future results could be materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive and financial officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, we maintain internal controls designed to provide us with the information required for accounting and financial reporting purposes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in litigation which may relate to claims brought by governmental authorities, customers, vendors, or employees, including class action claims and purported class action claims. We are not a party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, that individually or in the aggregate are reasonably expected to have a material effect on us. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 1,514,667 shares of our common stock for $156.2 million, or an average of $103.14 per share, under our securities repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,718,116 shares of our outstanding common stock for $275.4 million, or an average of $101.34 per share, under this program. In May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $250 million worth of our securities, of which $167.9 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2022. In July 2022, our Board of Directors further increased the authority delegated to management to repurchase our outstanding securities by $250 million. As a result, $330.6 million remained outstanding and available for repurchases as of July 26, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired 148,440 shares of our common stock for $17.2 million, or an average of $115.97 per share, from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards.

L. HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE AND TESTING METHODS. 1) HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE. The definition of Highly Compensated Employee in Plan Section 1.02 is modified below. (Select any that apply.) a) TOP-PAID GROUP ELECTION. (Select to limit the number of Highly Compensated Employees to the top 20% of employees based on compensation (top-paid group).) In determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee, the Employer makes a top-paid group election. The effect of this election is that an Employee (who is not a 5-percent owner at any time during the determination year or the look-back year) with compensation in excess of $120,000 (as adjusted) for the look-back year is a Highly Compensated Employee only if the Employee was in the top-paid group for the look-back year. b) CALENDAR YEAR DATA ELECTION. (Select to change the look-back year for compensation determination. This election has no effect if the Plan Year begins on January 1.) In determining who is a Highly Compensated Employee (other than as a 5-percent owner), the Employer makes a calendar year data election. The effect of this election is that the look-back year is the calendar year beginning with or within the look-back year. NOTE: These elections must apply consistently to the determination years of all plans of the Employer except as provided in the definition of Highly Compensated Employee in Plan Section 1.02. If this plan is a multiple employer plan, separate top-paid group and calendar year data elections may be made in writing by each Employer Group. 2) TESTING METHODS. This Plan shall use the current year testing method for purposes of the ADP and ACP Tests, unless otherwise specified in (a) below. a) (Cannot select if 401(k) Safe Harbor Plan or QACA Safe Harbor Plan.) This Plan shall use the prior year testing method for purposes of the ADP and ACP Tests. NOTE: The testing method cannot be changed from the current year testing method to the prior year testing method for a Plan Year 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 Restatement Effective July 1, 2022 12 Plan ID No. 1080199 ( 73571) Classification: Customer Confidential method and the change is made within the transition period described in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)(ii). If this plan is a multiple employer plan, separate testing method elections may be made in writing by each Employer Group. b) If this is not a successor plan and the Plan is using the prior year testing method, for the first Plan Year this Plan permits any Participant to make Elective Deferral Contributions, the prior year’s Nonhighly Compensated Employees’ ADP, as defined in Plan Section 3.08, shall be three percent, unless otherwise specified in (i) below. i) (Only available if (a) above is selected.) The Plan Year’s ADP, as defined in Plan Section 3.08, shall be used for the Nonhighly Compensated Employees’ ADP. c) If this is not a successor plan and the Plan is using the prior year testing method, for the first Plan Year this Plan permits any Participant to make Voluntary Contributions, provides for Matching Contributions, or both, the prior year’s Nonhighly Compensated Employees’ ACP, as defined in Plan Section 3.08, shall be three percent, unless otherwise specified in (i) below. i) (Only available if (a) above is selected.) The Plan Year’s ACP, as defined in Plan Section 3.08, shall be used for the Nonhighly Compensated Employees’ ACP. M. COMPENSATION. NOTE: Compensation as defined in Plan Section 1.02, is used for contribution determinations other than for top-heavy minimum contributions. Compensation, as defined in Plan Section 3.07, for the Limitation Year is used to determine the limit on Annual Additions.

The allocation in this step one shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R and each person who is entitled to a minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04. Each such person’s allocation shall be an amount equal to the Discretionary Contributions multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation of all such persons. Such amount shall not exceed 3% of such person’s Annual Compensation. The allocation for any person who does not meet the requirements in Item R shall be limited to the amount necessary to fund the minimum contribution. STEP TWO: This step two shall only apply in years in which step one applies. The allocation in this step two shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be equal to any amount remaining after the allocation in step one multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation over the Integration Level to the total Annual Compensation over the Integration Level of all such persons. Such amount shall not exceed 3% of such person’s Annual Compensation over the Integration Level. For purposes of this step two, in the case of any person who has exceeded the cumulative permitted disparity limit described below, such person’s total Annual Compensation shall be taken into account and the applicable allocation limit for such person shall be 3% of such person’s total Annual Compensation. STEP THREE: The allocation in this step three shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be equal to any amount remaining after the allocation in step two multiplied by the ratio of the sum of such person’s total Annual Compensation and his Annual Compensation over the Integration Level to the total of such sums for all such persons. Such amount shall not exceed an amount equal to a percentage (equal to the Maximum Integration Rate) of the sum of such person’s total Annual Compensation and his Annual Compensation over the Integration Level. If steps one and two apply, the Maximum Integration Rate minus 3% shall be substituted for the Maximum Integration Rate wherever it appears in this step three. For purposes of this step three, in the case of any person who has exceeded the cumulative permitted disparity limit described below, two times such person’s total Annual Compensation shall be taken into account and the applicable allocation limit for such person shall be a percentage (equal to the Maximum Integration Rate) of two times such person’s total Annual Compensation. STEP FOUR: The allocation in this step four shall be made to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be equal to any amount remaining after the allocation in step three multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation of all such persons.

CUMULATIVE PERMITTED DISPARITY LIMIT: The cumulative permitted disparity limit for a person is 35 total cumulative permitted disparity years. Total cumulative permitted disparity years means the number of years credited to the person for allocation or accrual purposes under this Plan, any other qualified plan or simplified employee pension plan (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer or any other employer required to be aggregated with the Employer under Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m), or (o).

If Item I(1)(a)(iv) is selected, Accrual Service shall include service with a Predecessor Employer which did not maintain this Plan. If Item I(2)(b)(iii) is selected, Accrual Service shall include service with a Prior Employer. If Accrual Service includes service with a Predecessor Employer or Prior Employer, the crediting of such service shall be determined on a reasonably uniform basis to all similarly situated Employees based on all relevant facts and circumstances so as not to discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees. Accrual Service shall include a Period of Military Duty. If the elapsed time method is used, the entire Period of Military Duty shall be included to the extent it has not already been counted as Accrual Service. If the hours method is used, an Hour of Service shall be credited (without regard to the 501 Hours of Service limitation) for each hour the Employee would normally have been scheduled to work for the Employer during such Period of Military Duty to the extent such hour has not already been counted for purposes of Accrual Service. If the elapsed time method is used, Accrual Service shall be measured from his Hire Date to his most recent Severance Date. This Period of Service shall be reduced by any Period of Severance that occurred prior to his most recent Severance Date, unless such Period of Severance is included under the service spanning rule below. This period of Accrual Service shall be expressed as years (on the basis that 365 days equal one year), months (for purposes of the aggregation of fractional months, 30 days equals one month) or days. If the elapsed time method is used, Accrual Service shall include a Period of Severance (service spanning rule) if: a) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is not absent from work and ends within 12 months, or b) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is absent from work for any reason other than quitting, being discharged, or retiring (such as a leave of absence or layoff) and ends within 12 months of the date he was first absent. Accrual Service Period means the period defined in Item R(3) and, if applicable, Item G(1) of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum.

An otherwise applicable Plan limit is a limit in the Plan that applies to Elective Deferral Contributions without regard to Catch-up Contributions, such as the limits on the Maximum Annual Additions, as defined in Section 3.07, the dollar limitation on Elective Deferral Contributions under Code Section 402(g) (not counting Catch-up Contributions), and the limit imposed by the ADP Test. (See Item N(4) and Section 3.01.) Catch-up Contributions are not subject to the limits on the Maximum Annual Additions, as defined in Section 3.07, are not counted in the ADP Test, and are not counted in determining the minimum allocation under Code Section 416 (but Catch-up Contributions made in prior years are counted in determining whether the Plan is top-heavy). Claimant means any person who makes a claim for benefits under this Plan. (See Section 9.05.) Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Compensation means one of the following as specified in Item M(1): a) Information Required to be Reported Under Code Sections 6041, 6051, and 6052 (“Wages, Tips and Other Compensation” box on Form W-2).

If Item I(1)(a)(v) is selected, Compensation shall include compensation with a Predecessor Employer that did not maintain this Plan. If Compensation includes compensation with a Predecessor Employer, the crediting of such compensation shall be determined on a reasonably uniform basis to all similarly situated Employees based on all relevant facts and circumstances so as not to discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees. For any Self-employed Individual, Compensation means Earned Income. Except as provided herein, Compensation for a specified period is the Compensation actually paid or made available (or if earlier, includible in gross income) during such period. If Item M(4)(a) is selected, Compensation for a Compensation Year shall include amounts earned but not paid during the Compensation Year solely because of the timing of payroll periods and pay dates, provided the amounts are paid during the first few weeks of the next Compensation Year, the amounts are included on a uniform and consistent basis with respect to all similarly situated employees, and no Compensation is included in more than one Compensation Year. Compensation for a Plan Year shall also include Compensation paid by the later of 2 1/2 months after an Employee’s Severance from Employment with the Employer or the end of the Plan Year that includes the date of the Employee’s Severance from Employment with the Employer if the payment is regular Compensation for services during 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. If Item M(2)(a)(i) is selected, Compensation shall include payments for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the Employee would have been able to use if employment had continued. If Item M(2)(a)(ii) is selected, Compensation shall include payments received by the Employee pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan and would have been paid at the same time if employment had continued, but only to the extent includible in gross income. 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 Plan Year that includes the date of Severance from Employment, except, if Item M(2)(a)(iii) is selected, Compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally disabled, as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3). If Item M(2)(a)(iii)(B) is selected, such 6 Compensation shall only be included for Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees immediately before becoming disabled. Back pay, within the meaning of section 1.415(c)-2(g)(8) of the regulations, shall be treated as Compensation for the Plan Year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included in this definition. If elective contributions are not excluded in Item M(3), Compensation paid or made available during a specified period 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). If deemed Code Section 125 Compensation is not excluded in Item M(3), 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. If Code Section 414(s) safe harbor exclusions are not excluded in Item M(3), Compensation shall include reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and noncash), moving expenses, deferred compensation (other than elective contributions), and welfare benefits for purposes of calculating all contribution determinations that use Compensation. Specific Compensation may be included or excluded from this definition if selected in Item M(4) or M(3) respectively. For purposes of the ADP and ACP Tests in Section 3.08, the Employer may elect to use an alternative nondiscriminatory definition of Compensation in accordance with Code Section 414(s) and the regulations thereunder. The annual Compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining contributions and allocations for any determination period (the period over which Compensation is determined) shall not exceed $275,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B). If Item M(6)(a) of the Adoption Agreement is not selected and in modification of the foregoing, Elective Deferral Contributions may be made with respect to Compensation that exceeds the annual compensation limit, provided such Elective Deferral Contributions otherwise satisfy any applicable limitations. 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. If Compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining a Participant’s 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. Compensation means, for a Leased Employee, Compensation for the services the Leased Employee performs for the Employer, determined in the same manner as the Compensation of Employees who are not Leased Employees, regardless of whether such Compensation is received directly from the Employer or from the leasing organization. Compensation Year means the consecutive 12-month period defined in Item M(5).

Differential Wage Payments means any payments that are made by an Employer to an individual with respect to any period during which the individual is performing Qualified Military Service while on active duty for a period of more than 30 days. Such payments shall be made in accordance with Code Section 3401(h) and represent all or a portion of the wages the individual would have received from the Employer if the individual were performing service for the Employer. Direct Rollover means a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee. Discretionary Contributions means discretionary Employer Contributions. (See Item Q(3) and Section 3.01.) Distributee means an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee's (or former Employee's) surviving spouse and the Employee's (or former Employee's) spouse or former spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. A Distributee includes the Employee’s (or former Employee’s) nonspouse Designated Beneficiary, in which case, the distribution can only be transferred to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA established on behalf of the nonspouse Designated Beneficiary for the purpose of receiving the distribution. Early Retirement Age means the age defined in Item Z(4). Early Retirement Date means any day (the first day of any month if Item Z(2)(a) is selected or the specified day of the month if Item Z(2)(b) is selected) which a Participant selects for beginning his early retirement benefit after he reaches Early Retirement Age and has had a Severance from Employment. If a Participant has a Severance from Employment before satisfying any age requirement for Early Retirement Age, but after satisfying any other requirements, the Participant 8 shall be entitled to elect a distribution of his Vested Account as an early retirement benefit upon satisfying such age requirement. (See Item Z(4).) Earned Income means, for a Self-employed Individual, net earnings from self-employment in the trade or business for which this Plan is established if such Self-employed Individual’s personal services are a material income producing factor for that trade or business. Net earnings shall be determined without regard to items not included in gross income and the deductions properly allocable to or chargeable against such items.

An Elective Deferral Agreement (or change thereto) must be made in such manner (including by means of voice response or other electronic system under circumstances that the Employer permits) and in accordance with such rules as the Employer may prescribe in a nondiscriminatory manner. Elective Deferral Agreements cannot relate to Compensation that is payable prior to the effective date of the Elective Deferral Agreement or to Compensation that is payable prior to the later of the adoption or effective date of the cash or deferred arrangement (CODA). Elective Deferral Agreements shall be made, changed, or terminated according to the provisions of Item N. (See Item N and Section 3.01.) An Elective Deferral Agreement may also be terminated according to the terms of an automatic contribution arrangement. (See Items N(6), N(7), and O(2).)

Eligible Employee means an Employee who meets the requirements specified in Item J. However, to the extent an Employee becomes an Employee as a result of a Code Section 410(b)(6)(C) transaction, that Employee shall not be an Eligible Employee during the period beginning on the date of the transaction and ending on the last day of the first Plan Year beginning after the date of the transaction. This period is called the transition period. The transition period may end earlier if there is a significant change in the coverage under the Plan or if the Employer chooses to cover all similarly situated Employees as of an earlier date. A Code Section 410(b)(6)(C) transaction is an asset or stock acquisition, merger, or similar transaction involving a change in the employer of the employees of a trade or business. Eligible Retirement Plan means an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), or a qualified plan described in Code Section 9 401(a), that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution. The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p). If any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution is attributable to payments or distributions from a Designated Roth Account, an Eligible Retirement Plan with respect to such portion shall include only (i) another designated Roth account of the individual from whose Account the payments or distributions were made or (ii) a Roth IRA of such individual. Eligible Rollover Distribution means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's Designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (ii) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); (iii) any hardship distribution; (iv) any Permissible Withdrawal; and (v) any other distribution(s) that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. For purposes of the $200 rule, a distribution from a Designated Roth Account and a distribution from other accounts under the Plan shall be treated as made under separate plans. Any portion of a distribution that consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income may be transferred only to (i) a traditional individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b) (a “traditional IRA”); (ii) a Roth individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408A (a “Roth IRA”); or (iii) a qualified plan or an annuity contract described in Code Section 401(a) and 403(b), respectively, that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

Employer Group means each separate group of entities which consists of the Employer and all Adopting Employers that are members of the same Controlled Group as the Employer or consist of an Adopting Employer that is not a member of the same Controlled Group as the Employer and all other Adopting Employers who are members of the same Controlled Group as such Adopting 10 Employer. If more than one Employer Group adopts this Plan, the Plan shall be a multiple employer plan as described in Code Section 413(c). Entry Date means the date an Employee first enters the Plan as an Active Participant for purposes of the Contributions specified in Item K. (See Item K and Section 2.01.) Entry Service means an Employee's service defined in Item K(3). Entry Service shall include service with a Controlled Group member, while the Employer and such Controlled Group member are both members of the Controlled Group. If Item I(1)(a)(i) is selected, Entry Service shall include service with a Predecessor Employer which did not maintain this Plan. If Item I(2)(b)(i) is selected, Entry Service shall include service with a Prior Employer. If Entry Service includes service with a Predecessor Employer or Prior Employer, the crediting of such service shall be determined on a reasonably uniform basis to all similarly situated Employees based on all relevant facts and circumstances so as not to discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees. Entry Service shall include a Period of Military Duty. If the elapsed time method is used, the entire Period of Military Duty shall be included to the extent it has not already been counted as Entry Service. If the hours method is used, an Hour of Service shall be credited (without regard to the 501 Hours of Service limitation) for each hour the Employee would normally have been scheduled to work for the Employer during such Period of Military Duty to the extent such hour has not already been counted for purposes of Entry Service. If the elapsed time method is used, Entry Service shall be measured from his Hire Date to his most recent Severance Date. This Period of Service shall be reduced by any Period of Severance that occurred prior to his most recent Severance Date, unless such Period of Severance is included under the service spanning rule below. This period of Entry Service shall be expressed as years (on the basis that 365 days equal one year), months (on the basis that 30 days equals one month for purposes of the aggregation of fractional months) or days. If the elapsed time method is used, Entry Service shall include a Period of Severance (service spanning rule) if: a) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is not absent from work and ends within 12 months, or b) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is absent from work for any reason other than quitting, being discharged, or retiring (such as a leave of absence or layoff) and ends within 12 months of the date he was first absent. If the hours method is used and the Entry Service Period shifts to the Plan Year, an Employee will be credited with two years of Entry Service if he has the Hours of Service required for a year of Entry Service in both his first and second Entry Service Periods. If the method of crediting Entry Service changes, the provisions of Section 10.13 shall apply. Entry Service Period means the period defined in Item K(3)(b)(iii). ERISA means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 401(k) Safe Harbor Plan means a plan that satisfies the ADP Test Safe Harbor and to which the 401(k) safe harbor provisions of Section 3.09 apply as elected in Item O(1).

11 Forfeiture means the part, if any, of a Participant’s Account that is forfeited. (See Section 3.05.) Forfeiture Date means the date the Participant incurs five consecutive Vesting Breaks. Highly Compensated Employee means any Employee who: a) was a 5-percent owner at any time during the year or the preceding year, or b) for the preceding year had compensation from the Employer in excess of $120,000 and, if the Employer so elects in Item L, was in the top-paid group for the preceding year. The $120,000 amount is adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as under Code Section 415(d). For this purpose the applicable year of the plan for which a determination is being made is called a determination year and the preceding 12-month period is called a look-back year. If the Employer has made a calendar year data election in Item L(1)(b), the look-back year shall be the calendar year beginning with or within the look-back year. The Plan may not use such election to determine whether Employees are Highly Compensated Employees on account of being a 5-percent owner. Calendar year data elections and top-paid group elections, once made, apply for all subsequent years unless changed by the Employer. If the Employer makes one election, the Employer is not required to make the other. If both elections are made, the look-back year in determining the top- paid group must be the calendar year beginning with or within the look-back year. Each Employer Group may choose to make a calendar year data election or a top-paid group election. Any such election(s) must be in writing and by the date prescribed in Code Section 414(q). These elections must apply consistently to the determination years of all plans maintained by the Employer which reference the highly compensated employee definition in Code Section 414(q), except as provided in Internal Revenue Service Notice 97-45 (or superseding guidance). The determination of who is a highly compensated former Employee is based on the rules applicable to determining Highly Compensated Employee status as in effect for that determination year. The determination of who is a Highly Compensated Employee, including the determinations of the number and identity of Employees in the top-paid group, the compensation that is considered, and the identity of the 5-percent owners, shall be made in accordance with Code Section 414(q) and the regulations thereunder. For purposes of this definition, the above references to compensation shall mean Compensation as defined in Section 3.07. Hire Date means the date an Employee first performs an Hour of Service. Hour of Service means, for the elapsed time method of crediting service in this Plan, each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for performing duties for the Employer. Hour of Service means, for the hours method of crediting service in this Plan, the following: a) Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for performing duties for the Employer during the applicable service period. b) Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, by the Employer on account of a period of time in which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty, or leave of absence. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subparagraph (b), no credit shall be given to the Employee: 12 1) for more than 501 Hours of Service under this subparagraph (b) on account of any single continuous period in which the Employee performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single service period); or 2) for an Hour of Service for which the Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period in which no duties are performed if such payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with applicable worker's or workmen's compensation, or unemployment compensation, or disability insurance laws; or 3) for an Hour of Service for a payment which solely reimburses the Employee for medical or medically related expenses incurred by him. For purposes of this subparagraph (b), a payment shall be deemed to be made by, or due from the Employer, regardless of whether such payment is made by, or due from the Employer, directly or indirectly through, among others, a trust fund or insurer, to which the Employer contributes or pays premiums and regardless of whether contributions made or due to the trust fund, insurer, or other entity are for the benefit of particular employees or are on behalf of a group of employees in the aggregate. c) Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer. The same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under subparagraph (a) or subparagraph (b) above (as the case may be) and under this subparagraph (c). Crediting of Hours of Service for back pay awarded or agreed to with respect to periods described in subparagraph (b) above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in that subparagraph.

If the Employer (i) does not maintain hourly records for an Employee or (ii) elected in Item X(4) to use an equivalency for all Employees, Hours of Service shall be determined using an equivalency based on periods of employment in lieu of actual Hours of Service. The equivalencies shall be on the basis of months, days, weeks, or semi-monthly payroll periods as defined in Item X. The crediting of Hours of Service above shall be applied under the rules of paragraphs (b) and (c) of the Department of Labor Regulation 2530.200b-2 (including any interpretations or opinions implementing such rules); which rules, by this reference, are specifically incorporated in full within this Plan. The reference to paragraph (b) applies to the special rule for determining Hours of Service for reasons other than the performance of duties such as payments calculated (or not calculated) on the basis of units of time and the rule against double credit. The reference to paragraph (c) applies to the crediting of Hours of Service to service periods. Hours of Service shall be credited for employment with any other employer required to be aggregated with the Employer under Code Section 414(b), (c), (m), or (o) and the regulations thereunder for purposes of entry and vesting. Hours of Service shall also be credited for any individual who is considered an employee for purposes of this Plan pursuant to Code Section 414(n) or (o) and the regulations thereunder. Solely for purposes of determining whether a one-year break in service has occurred for vesting purposes, during a Parental Absence an Employee shall be credited with the Hours of Service which would otherwise have been credited to the Employee but for such absence, or in any case in which such hours cannot be determined, eight Hours of Service per day of such absence.

If Item Z(5)(c) is selected, Totally Disabled means that a Participant is disabled as a result of sickness or injury, to the extent that he is completely prevented from performing any work or engaging in any occupation for wage or profit, and has been continuously disabled for five months. Initial written proof that the disability exists and has continued uninterruptedly for at least five months must be furnished to the Plan Administrator by the Participant within one year after the date the disability begins. The Plan Administrator, upon receipt of any notice of proof of a Participant’s total disability, shall have the right and opportunity to have a physician it designates examine the Participant when and as often as it may reasonably require, but not more than once each year after the disability has continued uninterruptedly for at least two years beyond the date of furnishing the first proof. If Item Z(5)(d) is selected, Totally Disabled means that a Participant is disabled, as a result of sickness or injury, to the extent that he is completely prevented from performing any work or engaging in any occupation for wage or profit, and has been continuously disabled for the number of months specified.

At the discretion of the Plan Administrator, Trustee, or Insurer (whichever applies) and in a nondiscriminatory manner, assets of the Investment Fund may be valued more frequently. These dates shall also be Valuation Dates. Vested Account means the vested part of a Participant’s Account. If all Employer Contributions are 100% vested, the Participant’s Vested Account is equal to his Account. If not all Employer Contributions are 100% vested, and the Participant’s Vesting Percentage for all Employer Contributions is 100%, the Vested Account equals his Account. If not all Employer Contributions are 21 100% vested and the Participant’s Vesting Percentage for all Employer Contributions is not 100%, the Vested Account equals the sum of (a) and (b) below: a) The part of the Participant’s Account resulting from Employer Contributions made before a prior Forfeiture Date and all other Contributions that were 100% vested when made. b) The balance of the Participant’s Account in excess of the amount in (a) above multiplied by his Vesting Percentage. If his Vesting Percentages that apply to such Employer Contributions are not equal, the balance of his Account resulting from all types of Employer Contributions subject to the same Vesting Percentage shall be multiplied by the applicable Vesting Percentage and each product added together to determine this amount. If the Participant has withdrawn any part of his Account resulting from Employer Contributions, other than the vested Employer Contributions included in (a) above, and his Vesting Percentage with respect to such Contributions is less than 100%, the amount determined under this subparagraph (b) shall be equal to P(AB + D) - D as defined below: P The Participant’s Vesting Percentage. AB The balance of the Participant’s Account in excess of the amount in (a) above. D The amount of the withdrawal resulting from Employer Contributions, other than the vested Employer Contributions included in (a) above. If the amount determined in this (b) is determined using different Vesting Percentages, this formula shall apply separately to the calculation done for the balance of his Account resulting from all types of Employer Contributions subject to the same Vesting Percentage, including only the balance of his Account in excess of the amount in (a) above resulting from Employer Contributions subject to the same Vesting Percentage and the amount of the withdrawal resulting from such Employer Contributions. This calculation is not required if the Vesting Percentage is 100%. Vesting Break means, when the elapsed time method is used, a one-year Period of Severance. An Employee incurs a Vesting Break on the last day of a one-year Period of Severance. When the hours method is used, Vesting Break is defined in Item W(1)(c). An Employee incurs a Vesting Break on the last day of the Vesting Service Period in which he has a Vesting Break. Vesting Percentage means the Participant’s Vesting Percentage determined under Item V. If the schedule used to determine a Participant’s Vesting Percentage is changed, the new schedule shall not apply to a Participant unless he is credited with an Hour of Service on or after the date of the change and the Participant’s Vesting Percentage on the day before the date of the change is not reduced under this Plan. The provisions of Section 10.01 regarding changes in the computation of Vesting Percentage shall apply. Vesting Service means an Employee's service determined under Item W. Vesting Service is subject to the modifications selected under that item. Vesting Service shall include service with a Controlled Group member while the Employer and such Controlled Group member are both members of the Controlled Group. If Item I(1)(a)(ii) is selected, Vesting Service shall include service with a Predecessor Employer which did not maintain this Plan. If Item I(2)(b)(ii) is selected, Vesting Service shall include service with a Prior Employer. If Vesting Service includes service with a Predecessor Employer or Prior Employer, the crediting of such service shall be determined on a reasonably uniform basis to all similarly situated Employees based on all relevant facts and circumstances so as not to discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees. 22 Vesting Service shall include a Period of Military Duty. If the elapsed time method is used, the entire Period of Military Duty shall be included to the extent it has not already been counted as Vesting Service. If the hours method is used, an Hour of Service shall be credited (without regard to the 501 Hours of Service limitation) for each hour the Employee would normally have been scheduled to work for the Employer during such Period of Military Duty, to the extent such hour has not already been credited as Vesting Service. If the elapsed time method is used, Vesting Service shall be measured from his Hire Date to his most recent Severance Date. Vesting Service shall be reduced by all or any part of a Period of Service that is not counted. Vesting Service shall also be reduced by any Period of Severance that occurred prior to his most recent Severance Date, unless such Period of Severance is included under the service spanning rule below. This period of Vesting Service shall be expressed as years and fractional parts of a year (to four decimal places) on the basis that 365 days equal one year. If the elapsed time method is used, Vesting Service shall include a Period of Severance (service spanning rule) if: a) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is not absent from work and ends within 12 months, or b) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is absent from work for any reason other than quitting, being discharged, or retiring (such as a leave of absence or layoff) and ends within 12 months of the date he was first absent. If the method of crediting Vesting Service changes, the provisions of Sections 10.01 and 10.13 shall apply. Vesting Service Period means the period defined in Item W(1)(b). Voluntary Contributions means the Contributions by a Participant that are 100% vested and are not required as a condition of employment or participation, or for obtaining additional Employer Contributions. Voluntary Contributions, and earnings thereon, shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable at all times. (See Item T(1) and Section 3.02.) Wage Rate Contributions means Employer Contributions based on the applicable Prevailing Rate Schedule. (See Item Q(4) and Section 3.01.) Yearly Date means the Yearly Date defined in Item E. Years of Service means an Employee's Vesting Service defined in Item W, disregarding any modifications that exclude service. ARTICLE II PARTICIPATION SECTION 2.01 – ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. For purposes of the Contributions as specified in Item K, an Employee shall first become an Active Participant (begin active participation in the Plan) on the earliest date specified in Item K on which he is an Eligible Employee and has met all of the entry requirements selected in Item K. This date is his Entry Date for such Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, in accordance with their established nondiscriminatory procedures, an Employee may make a one-time irrevocable election not to participate in this Plan. Such election must be made no later than the date the Employee first becomes eligible to participate in any plan of the Employer and shall remain in effect for the duration of the Employee’s employment with the Employer.


 
23 If the Plan’s entry requirements are changed, an Employee who was an Active Participant immediately prior to the effective date of the change is deemed to satisfy the new requirements and his Entry Date shall not change. Each Employee who was an active participant under the Prior Plan on the day before the Restatement Date shall continue to be an Active Participant under this Plan on the Restatement Date if he is still an Eligible Employee on such Restatement Date and his Entry Date shall not change. If service with a Predecessor Employer or a Prior Employer is counted for purposes of Entry Service in Item I, an Employee shall be credited with such service on the date he becomes an Employee and shall become an Active Participant on the earliest date specified in Item K for purposes of the Contributions specified in Item K on which he is an Eligible Employee and has met all of the entry requirements selected in Item K. This date is his Entry Date for such Contributions. If a person has been an Eligible Employee who has met all of the entry requirements for purposes of the Contributions specified in Item K but is not an Eligible Employee on the date that would have been his Entry Date for such Contributions, he shall become an Active Participant for purposes of such Contributions on the date he again becomes an Eligible Employee. This date is his Entry Date for such Contributions. In the event an Employee who is not an Eligible Employee becomes an Eligible Employee, he shall become an Active Participant immediately if he has satisfied the entry requirements for purposes of the Contributions specified in Item K and would have otherwise previously become an Active Participant had he met the definition of Eligible Employee. This date is his Entry Date for such Contributions. An Inactive Participant shall again become an Active Participant (resume active participation in the Plan) for purposes of the Contributions for which he previously had an Entry Date on the date he again performs an Hour of Service as an Eligible Employee. This date is his Reentry Date for such Contributions. Upon again becoming an Active Participant, he shall cease to be an Inactive Participant. A former Participant shall again become an Active Participant (resume active participation in the Plan) for purposes of the Contributions for which he previously had an Entry Date on the date he again performs an Hour of Service as an Eligible Employee. This date is his Reentry Date for such Contributions. A Participant shall be treated as benefiting under the Plan for any Plan Year during which the Participant received or is deemed to receive an allocation in accordance with section 1.410(b)-3(a) of the regulations. SECTION 2.02 – INACTIVE PARTICIPANT. An Active Participant shall become an Inactive Participant on the earlier of the following: a) the date the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee, or b) the effective date of complete termination of the Plan under Article VIII. An Employee or former Employee who was an inactive participant under the Prior Plan on the day before the Restatement Date shall continue to be an Inactive Participant under this Plan on the Restatement Date. Eligibility for any benefits payable to the Participant or on his behalf and the amount of the benefits shall be determined according to the provisions of the Prior Plan, unless otherwise stated in this Plan. 24 SECTION 2.03 – CESSATION OF PARTICIPATION. A Participant shall cease to be a Participant on the date he is no longer an Eligible Employee and his Account is zero. SECTION 2.04 – ADOPTING EMPLOYERS – SINGLE PLAN. Each Adopting Employer identified as a single plan in Item AB of the Adoption Agreement or if Item AB(1)(b) is selected, the attached participation agreements, is a Controlled Group member and participates with the Employer in this Plan. An Adopting Employer's agreement to participate in this Plan shall be in writing. The Employer has the right to amend the Plan. An Adopting Employer does not have the right to amend the Plan. If the Adopting Employer did not maintain a Prior Plan, the date of participation specified in Item AB (the day following the end of its transition period described in Code Section 410(b)(6)(C)(ii) for an Adopting Employer not listed in Item AB) shall be the Entry Date for any of its Employees who have met the requirements in Section 2.01 as of that date. Service with and Compensation from an Adopting Employer shall be included as service with and Compensation from the Employer. If Item AB(3)(a) is selected, such service and Compensation shall only be included beginning on the date the Adopting Employer became a Controlled Group member. Transfer of employment, without interruption, between an Adopting Employer and another Adopting Employer or the Employer shall not be considered an interruption of service. The Employer’s Fiscal Year in Item F shall be the Fiscal Year used in interpreting this Plan for Adopting Employers. Contributions made by an Adopting Employer shall be treated as Contributions made by the Employer. Forfeitures arising from those Contributions shall be used for the benefit of all Participants. An employer shall not be an Adopting Employer if it ceases to be a Controlled Group member. Such an employer may continue a retirement plan for its Employees in the form of a separate document. This Plan shall be amended to delete a former Adopting Employer from Item AB or, if Item AB(1)(b) is selected, remove the participation agreement for such Adopting Employer. If (i) an employer ceases to be an Adopting Employer or the Plan or participation agreement is amended to remove an Adopting Employer and (ii) the Adopting Employer does not continue a retirement plan for the benefit of its Employees, partial termination may result and the provisions of Article VIII shall apply. SECTION 2.05 – ADOPTING EMPLOYERS – MULTIPLE EMPLOYER PLAN. Each Adopting Employer identified as a multiple employer plan in Item AB of the Adoption Agreement or if Item AB(1)(b) is selected, the attached participation agreements, participates with the Employer in this Plan. This Plan is a multiple employer plan as described in Code Section 413(c). An Adopting Employer's agreement to participate in this Plan shall be in writing. The Employer has the right to amend the Plan. An Adopting Employer does not have the right to amend the Plan. If the Adopting Employer did not maintain its plan before its date of adoption specified in Item AB(4) or the attached participation agreement, its date of adoption shall be the Entry Date for any of its Employees who have met the requirements in Section 2.01 as of that date. Service with and Compensation from an Adopting Employer shall be included as service with and Compensation from the Employer. Transfer of employment, without interruption, between an Adopting Employer and another Adopting Employer or the Employer shall not be considered an interruption of service. The 25 Employer’s Fiscal Year in Item F shall be the Fiscal Year used in interpreting this Plan for Adopting Employers. If the amount of an Employer Contribution or a limit on an Employer Contribution is determined by the Employer, such determination shall be made by the Employer. Forfeitures arising from those Contributions shall be used for the benefit of all Participants. The provisions of Section 3.07 shall be applied to each Participant taking into account all Contributions and all Compensation for the Limitation Year from all Employers and Employer Groups covered by the Plan. The requirements of Code Section 410(b) and 401(a)(4) shall be applied separately to each Employer Group. For purposes of the ACP Test and ADP Test, each Employer Group shall be treated as maintaining a separate plan. The provisions of Article XI shall be applied separately to each Employer Group. If the Plan is top- heavy with respect to an Employer Group, the minimum contribution requirements shall apply with respect to the Employees of such Employer Group. If the Plan is not top-heavy with respect to an Employer Group, the minimum contribution requirements shall not apply with respect to the Employees of such Employer Group. If the Plan or, if Item AB(1)(b) is selected, the participation agreement is amended to remove an Adopting Employer and the Adopting Employer does not continue a retirement plan for the benefit of its Employees, partial termination may result and the provisions of Article VIII shall apply. SECTION 2.06 – ADOPTING EMPLOYERS – SEPARATE PLANS. Each Adopting Employer identified as a separate plan in Item AB of the Adoption Agreement or if Item AB(1)(b) is selected, the attached participation agreements, is a Controlled Group member and maintains this Plan as a separate and distinct plan for the exclusive benefit of its Employees. An Adopting Employer’s adoption of the Plan shall be in writing. If the Adopting Employer did not maintain a Prior Plan, the date of adoption specified in Item AB is the Effective Date of its Plan. This date is the first Yearly Date for the Adopting Employer's Plan and shall be the Entry Date for any of its Employees who have met the requirements in Section 2.01 as of that date. If the Adopting Employer did maintain a Prior Plan, the date of adoption is the Restatement Date of its Plan. An Adopting Employer shall be deemed to be the Employer but only with respect to its Plan and for those Employees who are on its payroll. In interpreting the Adoption Agreement and this document as to an Adopting Employer, the term Employer shall be deemed to refer to the Adopting Employer and the Adopting Employer's fiscal year is deemed to be the Fiscal Year. The Employer named in Item B is deemed to be an Adopting Employer for purposes of the following two paragraphs. The Contributions made by an Adopting Employer, and Forfeitures arising from such Contributions, shall not be used for the benefit of Employees of any other Adopting Employer. Service with an Adopting Employer shall be included as service with all other Adopting Employers. If Item AB(3)(a) is selected, such service and Compensation shall only be included beginning on the date the Adopting Employer became a Controlled Group member. Transfer of employment, without interruption, between Adopting Employers shall not be an interruption of service. If an Active Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee of an Adopting Employer and immediately becomes an Eligible Employee of another Adopting Employer, he will be an Active Participant in the second Adopting Employer’s Plan. For purposes of Employer Contributions only, he shall be an Active Participant under the first Adopting Employer's Plan until the earlier of the end of the Plan Year or the date on which he is no longer an Eligible Employee under any Adopting Employer’s Plan. In determining his eligibility for, or the amount or allocation of, any Employer Contributions under each 26 Plan, his service from all Adopting Employers shall be taken into account, but only his Compensation from the Adopting Employer maintaining such Plan shall be taken into account for purposes of that Plan. If Employer Contributions are made under a formula that gives a uniform dollar amount per period, there shall be no duplication of contributions on account of active participation in more than one Plan and the Contribution for any period shall be prorated based on service with each Adopting Employer that maintained such Plans. Any amendment to the Plan by the Employer named in Item B shall be deemed to be an amendment to each Adopting Employer's Plan. An Adopting Employer may not amend the Plan other than to restate its Plan in the form of a separate document and, in that event, it shall cease to be an Adopting Employer. An employer shall not be an Adopting Employer if it ceases to be a Controlled Group member. Such an employer may continue its Plan by restating it in the form of a separate document. This Plan shall be amended to delete a former Adopting Employer from Item AB or, if Item AB(1)(b) is selected, remove the participation agreement for such Adopting Employer. If the Plan of the Adopting Employer terminates, the provisions of Article VIII shall apply to its Plan. ARTICLE III CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION 3.01 – EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Employer Contributions are conditioned on initial qualification of the Plan. If the Plan is denied initial qualification, the provisions of Section 10.15 shall apply. The amount of Employer Contributions is specified in the Adoption Agreement. Employer Contributions are made without regard to current or accumulated Net Profits, unless otherwise specified in Item R(1)(a). If Employer Contributions are made from Net Profits in excess of Elective Deferral Contributions and Wage Rate Contributions (Item R(1)(a) is selected), and such excess is not sufficient to provide the Matching Contributions, Qualified Nonelective Contributions under Item Q(1)(a) or (b) and Additional Contributions, if any, such Contributions shall be proportionately reduced. Elective Deferral Contributions and Wage Rate Contributions shall in all events 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. a) Elective Deferral Contributions. Elective Deferral Contributions made pursuant to either 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 Contribution or (ii) the Compensation used to calculate such Elective Deferral Contribution would be payable to the Participant if not contributed to the Plan. No Participant shall be permitted to have Elective Deferral Contributions, as defined in Section 3.08, made under this Plan, or any other plan, contract, or arrangement maintained by the Employer, during any calendar year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) in effect for the Participant’s taxable year beginning in such calendar year. If Catch-up Contributions are permitted in Item N(4), the dollar limitation in the preceding sentence shall be increased by the dollar limit on Catch-up Contributions under Code Section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) for the taxable year for any Participant who will be age 50 or older by the end of the taxable year. Elective Deferral Contributions returned as a Permissible Withdrawal shall not be taken into account for purposes of the dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g).


 
27 The dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) was $18,500 for taxable years beginning in 2018. This limit is adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury, in multiples of $500, for cost-of- living increases under Code Section 402(g)(4). 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 $6,000 for taxable years beginning in 2018. This limit is adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury, in multiples of $500, for cost-of-living increases under Code Section 414(v)(2)(C). If Catch-up Contributions are permitted in Item N(4), such Catch-up Contributions may be made to this Plan as provided in that Item. If Item N(3) or N(3)(a) is selected and the percent of Compensation maximum Elective Deferral Contribution limit is equal to or greater than 75% of Compensation, a Participant who is eligible to make Catch-up Contributions shall have his Elective Deferral Contributions, including Catch-up Contributions, limited to the percentage specified in Item N(3) or if Item N(3)(a) is selected, the percentage specified in Item D of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum. If Item N(3) or N(3)(a) is selected and the percent of Compensation maximum Elective Deferral Contribution limit is less than 75%, a Participant who is eligible to make Catch-up Contributions shall not be so limited unless his Elective Deferral Contributions, including Catch-up Contributions, exceed the limit in Item N(3) or if Item N(3)(a) is selected, the limit in Item D of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum, plus the dollar amount of Catch-up Contributions permitted. 1) Automatic Contribution Arrangement (ACA). If Item N(6) is selected, 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 or Roth Elective Deferral Contributions as specified in Item N(6)(a). Such 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 election shall also apply to certain Active Participants as provided in Items N(6)(b), (c), and (d) and Item E of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum. If Item N(6)(c)(v) is selected, each Active Participant who has affirmatively elected to defer an amount of Compensation that is less than the maximum automatic increase percentage in Item N(6)(b), shall have the amount of Elective Deferral Contributions stated in his Elective Deferral Agreement increased as specified in Item N(6)(c)(v). As of the date this increase is applied, the Participant’s Elective Deferral Agreement shall expire. The automatic Elective Deferral Contribution applicable to a Participant shall be determined as specified in Item N(6)(c)(v). If an Active Participant is subject to more than one Plan provision that would increase his Elective Deferral Contributions on the same date, only one such increase shall apply on that date. If a one-time sweep is selected in Item N(6)(c)(ii) or (iv) or the annual expiration of Elective Deferral Agreements (reenrollment) is selected in Item N(6)(c)(iii), such sweep or reenrollment shall be applied in lieu of the automatic increase of affirmative elections in Item N(6)(c)(v). If any of the corresponding selections are made in Item E of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum, this paragraph shall be applied in the same manner, substituting Item E(3)(c)(v) in place of N(6)(c)(v), Item E(3)(b) in place of N(6)(b), Item E(3)(a)(i) or E(3)(a)(ii) in place of N(6)(a)(i) or N(6)(a)(ii), Item E(3)(c)(ii) or (iv) in place of Item N(6)(c)(ii) or (iv), and Item E(3)(c)(iii) in place of Item N(6)(c)(iii). If Item N(6)(d)(i) applies to both an increase in the default automatic Elective Deferral Contribution under Item N(6)(a) and an increase in the automatic increase of Elective Deferral Contributions under N(6)(b) on the same date, the default automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall be applied in lieu of the automatic increase. If any of the corresponding selections are made in Item E of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum, this paragraph shall be applied in the same manner, substituting 28 Item E(3)(d)(i) in place of Item N(6)(d)(i), Item E(3)(a) in place of Item N(6)(a), and Item E(3)(b) in place of Item N(6)(b). If Item N(6)(e) is selected, the automatic contribution arrangement may be applied differently to different groups of Employees as specified in Item E of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum. The Participant shall be provided a notice that explains the automatic election and his right to elect a different rate of Elective Deferral Contributions, to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. 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, to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. Each Active Participant affected by the automatic election and automatic increase, if applicable, shall be provided an annual notice that explains the automatic election and his right to elect a different rate of Elective Deferral Contributions, to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. The notice shall include the procedure for exercising those rights and the timing for implementing any such elections. The notice(s) shall be written in a manner sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to apprise an Employee of his rights and obligations and calculated to be understood by the average Active Participant. 2) Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement (EACA). If Item N(7) is selected, the Plan provides for an automatic election to have Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions made under an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement. (See Item N(7) and Section 3.10.) 3) Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement (QACA). If Item O(2) is selected, the Plan provides for an automatic election to have Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions made under a Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement. (See Item O(2) and Section 3.11.) Employer Contributions are allocated according to the provisions of Section 3.06. If Item U(5)(a)(iv) is selected, the Employer may make all or any portion of the Employer Contributions (excluding Elective Deferral Contributions and Wage Rate Contributions) which are to be invested in Qualifying Employer Securities, to the Trustee in the form of Qualifying Employer Securities. The Employer may make all or a part of an annual Employer Contribution (Contributions that are calculated based on Annual Compensation or Compensation for the Plan Year) before the end of the Plan Year. If the annual Contribution is made for or allocated to each person who was an Active Participant at any time during the Plan Year, such Contributions made before the end of the Plan Year may be allocated when made in a manner that approximates the allocation that would otherwise have been made for 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 for the Plan Year. Excess allocations shall be forfeited and reallocated as necessary to provide the percentage applicable to each Participant. Any other annual 29 Contributions made before the end of the Plan Year shall be held unallocated until the advance Contributions (and earnings) are allocated according to the provisions of Section 3.06. 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, including the corpus or income of the Trust, shall never be diverted to or 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. Prior Plan Assets which result from contributions made by the Employer shall be treated in the same manner as Employer Contributions made under this Plan. If the Prior Plan Assets are transferred from a terminated plan, they shall be treated in the same manner as Employer Contributions made under this Plan before a Forfeiture Date. SECTION 3.02 – VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS BY PARTICIPANTS. If permitted under Item T(1), an Active Participant may make Voluntary Contributions in accordance with nondiscriminatory procedures set up by the Plan Administrator and subject to such limits as the Employer has prescribed in Item T(1). Such Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Account when made. The Plan will not accept deductible Voluntary Contributions that are made for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1986. Such Contributions made prior to that date shall be maintained in a separate account which will be nonforfeitable at all times. A Participant’s participation in the Plan is not affected by stopping or changing Voluntary Contributions. An Active Participant’s request to start, change, or stop Voluntary Contributions must be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules as the Employer may prescribe (including by means of voice response or other electronic system under circumstances the Employer permits). The part of the Participant’s Account resulting from Voluntary Contributions is 100% vested and nonforfeitable at all times. Prior Plan Assets which result from voluntary contributions made by the Participant shall be treated in the same manner as Voluntary Contributions made under this Plan. These Prior Plan Assets may include deductible voluntary contributions that were made according to the provisions of the Prior Plan. SECTION 3.03 – ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. If permitted under Item T(2), a Rollover Contribution may be made by an Eligible Employee or an Inactive Participant (if Item T(2)(b) is selected, Rollover Contributions may only be made by a Participant) if the following conditions are met: a) The Contribution is a Participant Rollover Contribution or a direct rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution from the types of plans and types of contributions specified in Item T(2) and identified below. Direct Rollovers. If selected by the Employer in Item T(2), the Plan will accept a direct rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution from (i) a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), including after-tax employee contributions; (ii) an annuity contract described in Code 30 Section 403(b), including after-tax employee contributions; and (iii) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state. If Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), a direct rollover from the sources described above shall include any portion of a designated Roth account. Participant Rollover Contributions from Other Plans. If selected by the Employer in Item T(2), the Plan will accept a Participant contribution of an Eligible Rollover Distribution from (i) a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), excluding after-tax employee contributions; (ii) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), excluding after-tax employee contributions; and (iii) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state. If Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), a Participant contribution of an Eligible Rollover Distribution from the sources described above shall include distributions of a designated Roth account only to the extent such amount would otherwise be includible in a Participant’s gross income. Participant Rollover Contributions from IRAs. If selected by the Employer in Item T(2), the Plan will accept a Participant Rollover Contribution of the portion of a distribution from an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b) that is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in the Participant’s gross income. b) The Contribution is of amounts that the Code permits to be transferred to a plan that meets the requirements of Code Section 401(a). c) The Contribution is made in the form of a direct rollover under Code Section 401(a)(31) or is a rollover made under Code Section 402(c) or 408(d)(3)(A) within 60 days after the Eligible Employee or Inactive Participant receives the distribution. d) The Eligible Employee furnishes evidence satisfactory to the Plan Administrator that the proposed rollover meets conditions (a), (b), and (c) above. Such evidence must be reasonable and cannot effectively eliminate or substantially impair the Eligible Employee’s right to elect a direct rollover. e) In the case of an Inactive Participant, the Contribution must be of an amount distributed from another plan of the Employer, or a plan of a Controlled Group member. Except as provided in the following sentence, a Rollover Contribution shall be allowed in cash only. If the Plan allows investment in a Self-Directed Brokerage Account or Qualifying Employer Securities, an in-kind distribution may be rolled into the Plan if the in-kind distribution is of an allowable security under the Self-Directed Brokerage Account or Qualifying Employer Securities. Rollover Contributions must be made according to the procedures set up by the Plan Administrator. If the Plan allows loans in Item U(3)(a), a Rollover Contribution may include a direct rollover of an outstanding loan balance that is not in default for a Participant impacted by a business event in accordance with nondiscriminatory procedures set up by the Loan Administrator. For this purpose, a business event means an acquisition, merger, or similar transaction involving a change in the employer of the employees of a trade or business. If Item T(2)(c) is selected, a Rollover Contribution may include a direct rollover of an outstanding loan balance that is not in default in accordance with nondiscriminatory procedures set up by the Loan Administrator. If Item T(2)(d) is selected, Rollover Contributions shall not include an outstanding loan balance. If the Eligible Employee is not an Active Participant when the Rollover Contribution is made, he shall be deemed to be an Active Participant only for the purpose of investment and distribution of the Rollover Contribution. Employer Contributions shall not be made for or allocated to the Eligible


 
31 Employee and he may not make Voluntary Contributions until the time he meets all of the requirements to become an Active Participant. Rollover Contributions made by an Eligible Employee or an Inactive Participant shall be credited to his Account. The part of the Participant’s Account resulting from Rollover Contributions is 100% vested and nonforfeitable at all times. Separate accounting records shall be maintained for those parts of his Rollover Contributions consisting of (i) voluntary contributions which were deducted from the Participant’s gross income for Federal income tax purposes; (ii) after-tax employee contributions, including the portion that would not have been includible in the Participant’s gross income if the contributions were not rolled over into this Plan; and (iii) any portion of a designated Roth account, including the portion that would not have been includible in the Participant’s gross income if the contributions were not rolled over into this Plan. Prior Plan Assets which result from the Participant’s rollover contributions shall be treated in the same manner as Rollover Contributions made under this Plan. SECTION 3.04 – IN-PLAN ROTH ROLLOVERS. If permitted under Item T(3), all or any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution (an “otherwise distributable amount”), may be rolled over as an In-plan Roth Rollover to a Designated Roth Account under the Plan if the following conditions are met: a) The In-plan Roth Rollover is made by a Participant, a Beneficiary who is a surviving spouse, or a spouse or former spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p). b) Such person shall be provided a written explanation describing the features of the In-plan Roth Rollover. c) The In-plan Roth Rollover is a direct rollover or a 60-day rollover. d) The Plan maintains such records as are necessary for the proper reporting of In-plan Roth Rollovers. e) The In-plan Roth Rollover does not include any outstanding loan balance. f) The Designated Roth Account resulting from an In-plan Roth Rollover shall continue to be included in the account balances for the calculation of the Top-heavy Ratio described in Section 11.02. If permitted under Item T(3)(b), In-plan Roth Rollovers are allowed from all or any portion of a Participant’s Vested Account (other than a Designated Roth Account) that is not otherwise eligible for distribution (“an otherwise nondistributable amount”) in accordance with Code Section 402A(c)(4)(E). The conditions above apply to an In-plan Roth Rollover of otherwise nondistributable amounts, except that a 60-day rollover is not permitted. Any distribution restrictions that applied to the otherwise nondistributable amounts shall continue to apply after the rollover. SECTION 3.05 – FORFEITURES. The Nonvested Account of a Participant shall be forfeited as of the earlier of the following: a) the date the record keeper is notified that the Participant died (if prior to such date he has had a Severance from Employment), or b) the Participant’s Forfeiture Date. 32 A Participant’s Nonvested Account shall be forfeited before the earlier of (a) or (b) above if, after he has a Severance from Employment, he receives, or is deemed to receive, a distribution of his entire Vested Account under Section 5.01, 5.03, or 10.11. If Item Q(5)(a) is not selected, the forfeiture shall occur as of the date the Participant receives, or is deemed to receive, the distribution. If Item Q(5)(a) is selected, the forfeiture shall occur as of the first day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant receives, or is deemed to receive, the distribution. A Forfeiture of Matching Contributions that relate to excess amounts and Matching Contributions that relate to automatic Elective Deferral Contributions distributed as Permissible Withdrawals shall also occur as provided in Sections 3.08, 3.10, and 3.11. Forfeitures shall be determined at least once during each Plan Year. Forfeitures may first be used to pay administrative expenses. Remaining Forfeitures, if any, may then be used to reduce Employer Contributions (other than Elective Deferral Contributions) made after the Forfeitures are determined. Forfeitures of Matching Contributions that relate to excess amounts as provided in Section 3.08, that have not been used to pay administrative expenses, shall be used to reduce Employer Contributions (other than Elective Deferral Contributions) made after the Forfeitures are determined. Forfeitures that have not been used to pay administrative expenses or used to reduce Employer Contributions shall be allocated as soon administratively feasible but in no event later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such Forfeitures are determined as provided in Section 3.06. Upon their allocation to Accounts, or application to reduce Employer Contributions, Forfeitures shall be deemed to be Employer Contributions. 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 permitted) before the earlier of the date five years after the date he again becomes an Eligible Employee or the end of the first period of five consecutive Vesting Breaks which begin after the date of the distribution. If the Participant makes the repayment above, the Plan Administrator shall restore to his Account an amount equal to his Nonvested Account that was forfeited on the date of distribution, unadjusted for any investment 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 performs an Hour of Service as an Eligible Employee within the repayment period, the Plan Administrator shall restore the Participant’s Account as if he had made a required repayment on the date he performed such Hour of Service. Restoration of the Participant’s Account shall include restoration of all Code Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits with respect to the restored Account, according to applicable Treasury regulations. Provided, however, the Plan Administrator shall not restore the Nonvested Account if (i) a Forfeiture Date has occurred after the date of the distribution and on or before the date of repayment and (ii) that Forfeiture Date would result in a complete forfeiture of the amount the Plan Administrator would otherwise restore. The Plan Administrator shall restore the Participant’s Account by the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which repayment is made. The permissible sources for restoration of the Participant’s Account are Forfeitures or special Employer Contributions. Such special Employer Contributions shall be made without regard to profits. The repaid and restored amounts are not included in the Participant’s Annual Additions, as defined in Section 3.07. SECTION 3.06 – ALLOCATION. Employer Contributions that are not subject to the requirements in Item R shall be allocated to the Participants for whom such Contributions are made and credited to the Participant’s Account. Employer Contributions that are subject to the requirements in Item R (plus any Forfeitures for the Plan Year) shall be allocated among all persons meeting the requirements in Item R. The amount 33 allocated to such a person shall be determined under the allocation formula selected in the Adoption Agreement and Article XI. Forfeitures that have not been used to pay administrative expenses or used to reduce Employer Contributions shall be allocated as soon administratively feasible but in no event later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which such Forfeitures are determined. Discretionary Contributions in Item Q(3) (and Forfeitures) shall be allocated for the Plan Year to each person eligible to share in the allocation under Item Q. The amount allocated to such person shall be determined under the allocation formula selected in Item Q. This amount shall be credited to the person’s Account. If Item Q(3)(d) is selected by the Employer, if the Employer allocates a Discretionary Contribution for any Plan Year and nondiscrimination testing for such Discretionary Contribution is done according to section 1.401(a)(4)-8 of the regulations, the Employer shall make an additional Employer Contribution for such Plan Year for each person who is a Nonhighly Compensated Employee and who had Employer Contributions made for or allocated to him for such Plan Year if the sum of all Employer Contributions for such Nonhighly Compensated Employee is less than a minimum. The additional Employer Contribution shall be equal to the amount needed, if any, to bring the sum of all Employer Contributions up to the minimum. The amount of the minimum shall be equal to either (i) 5% of his Compensation or (ii) 1/3 of the “highest percentage” of his Compensation. The same minimum shall apply to all such persons and the minimum that applies shall be the minimum resulting in the smallest total additional Employer Contributions. For purposes of determining the 5% minimum, Compensation means Compensation, as defined in Section 3.07, for the Plan Year. For purposes of determining the 1/3 of the highest percentage minimum, the highest percentage shall be the highest percentage of Compensation at which Employer Contributions are made for or allocated to any Highly Compensated Employee. The highest percentage shall be determined by dividing the Employer Contributions made for or allocated to each Highly Compensated Employee during the Plan Year by the amount of his Compensation and selecting the greatest quotient (expressed as a percentage). For purposes of determining the 1/3 of the highest percentage minimum, including the determination of the highest percentage, Compensation means Annual Compensation for purposes of allocating Discretionary Contributions for the Plan Year. For purposes of determining the minimum allocation gateway, Employer Contributions shall not include Elective Deferral Contributions and Matching Contributions. This additional Employer Contribution shall be credited to the person’s Account and shall be deemed to be a Discretionary Contribution. If Item Q(3)(f) is selected by the Employer, the Discretionary Contribution selected in Q(3)(a), (b), (c), or (e) shall not be allocated to provide the top-heavy minimum contribution under Plan Section 11.04. The Discretionary Contribution shall be allocated as follows: a) If Item Q(3)(a) is selected by the Employer, Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated using Annual Compensation for the Plan Year to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. The amount allocated shall be equal to the Discretionary Contributions multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation for all such persons. b) If Item Q(3)(b) is selected by the Employer, subject to the overall permitted disparity limits, Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated using Annual Compensation for the Plan Year to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be determined as follows: 34 STEP ONE: An amount equal to the Discretionary Contributions multiplied by the ratio of the sum of such person’s total Annual Compensation and his Annual Compensation over the Integration Level to the total of such sums for all such persons. Such amount shall not exceed an amount equal to a percentage (equal to the Maximum Integration Rate) of the sum of such person’s total Annual Compensation and his Annual Compensation over the Integration Level. For purposes of this step one, in the case of any person who has exceeded the cumulative permitted disparity limit described below, two times such person’s total Annual Compensation shall be taken into account and the applicable allocation limit for such person shall be a percentage (equal to the Maximum Integration Rate) of two times such person’s total Annual Compensation. STEP TWO: Any amount remaining after the allocation in step one multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Annual Compensation to the total Annual Compensation of all such persons. c) If Item Q(3)(c) is selected by the Employer, Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated using Benefit Factors for the Plan Year to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. Each such person’s allocation shall be an amount equal to Discretionary Contributions multiplied by the ratio of such person’s Benefit Factor to the total Benefit Factors for all such persons. d) If Item Q(3)(e) is selected by the Employer, Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated as a same dollar amount for the Plan Year to each person meeting the requirements in Item R. If Discretionary Contributions are not selected in Item Q(3), Forfeitures shall be allocated for the Plan Year to each person meeting the requirements in Item R using the compensation formula allocation in Item Q(3)(a) and shall be deemed to be Additional Contributions. This amount shall be credited to the person’s Account. If Leased Employees are Eligible Employees, in determining the amount of Employer Contributions allocated to a person who is a Leased Employee, contributions provided by the leasing organization that are attributable to services such Leased Employee performs for the Employer shall be treated as provided by the Employer. Those contributions shall not be duplicated under this Plan. SECTION 3.07 – CONTRIBUTION LIMITATION. a) Definitions. For the purpose of determining the contribution limitation set forth in this section, the following terms are defined: Annual Additions means the sum of the following amounts credited to a Participant’s account for the Limitation Year: 1) employer contributions; 2) employee contributions; and 3) forfeitures. Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan, as defined in section 1.415(c)-1(a)(2)(i) of the regulations, shall also include the following: 4) mandatory employee contributions, as defined in Code Section 411(c)(2)(C) and section 1.411(c)-1(c)(4) of the regulations, to a defined benefit plan; 5) contributions allocated to any individual medical benefit account, as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), which is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer;


 
35 6) amounts attributable to post-retirement medical benefits, allocated to the separate account of a key employee, as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3), under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e), maintained by the Employer; 7) annual additions under an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b); and 8) allocations under a simplified employee pension. Compensation means one of the following as specified in Item M(1): 1) Information Required to be Reported Under Code Sections 6041, 6051, and 6052 (“Wages, Tips and Other Compensation” box on Form W-2). Compensation is defined as wages, within the meaning of Code Section 3401(a), and all other payments of compensation to an employee by the Employer (in the course of the Employer's trade or business) for which the Employer is required to furnish the employee a written statement under Code Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and 6052. Compensation shall be determined without regard to any rules under Code Section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2)). 2) Code Section 3401(a) Wages. Compensation is defined as wages within the meaning of Code Section 3401(a) for the purposes of income tax withholding at the source but determined without regard to any rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2)). 3) Simplified 415 Compensation. Compensation is defined as wages, salaries, Differential Wage Payments, and fees for professional services and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Employer maintaining the plan to the extent that the amounts are includible in gross income (including, but not limited to, commissions paid to salespersons, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits, and reimbursements or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan (as described in section 1.62-2(c) of the regulations)), and excluding the following: i) employer contributions (other than elective contributions described in Code Section 402(e)(3), 408(k)(6), 408(p)(2)(A)(i), or 457(b)) to a plan of deferred compensation (including a simplified employee pension described in Code Section 408(k) or a simple retirement account described in Code Section 408(p), and whether or not qualified) to the extent such contributions are not includible in the employee's gross income for the taxable year in which contributed, and any distributions (whether or not includible in gross income when distributed) from a plan of deferred compensation (whether or not qualified), unless Item M(1)(b)(i) allows amounts received from a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan to be included, to the extent includible in gross income; ii) amounts realized from the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option (that is, an option other than a statutory stock option as defined in section 1.421-1(b) of the regulations), or when restricted stock (or property) held by the employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; iii) amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a statutory stock option; iv) other amounts that receive special tax benefits, such as premiums for group-term life insurance (but only to the extent that the premiums are not includible in the gross income 36 of the employee and are not salary reduction amounts that are described in Code Section 125); and v) other items of remuneration that are similar to any of the items listed in (i) through (iv) above. For any Self-employed Individual, Compensation means Earned Income. Except as provided herein, Compensation for a Limitation Year is the Compensation actually paid or made available (or if earlier, includible in gross income) during such Limitation Year, unless otherwise specified in Item M(4). Compensation for a Limitation Year shall also include Compensation paid by the later of 2 1/2 months after an employee’s Severance from Employment with the Employer maintaining the plan or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of the employee’s Severance from Employment with the Employer maintaining the plan, if (i) the payment is regular Compensation for services during 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. If Item M(2)(a)(i) is selected, Compensation shall include payments for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the employee would have been able to use if employment had continued. If Item M(2)(a)(ii) is selected, Compensation shall include payments received by the employee pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan and would have been paid at the same time if employment had continued, but only to the extent includible in gross income. 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, except if Item M(2)(a)(iii) is selected, Compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally disabled, as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3). If Item M(2)(a)(iii)B is selected, such Compensation shall only be included for Participants who were Nonhighly Compensated Employees immediately before becoming disabled. Back pay, within the meaning of section 1.415(c)-2(g)(8) of the regulations, shall be treated as Compensation for the Limitation Year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included in this definition. 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). If deemed Code Section 125 Compensation is not excluded in Item M(3), 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. 37 Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation means $55,000, 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 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 a calendar year or the consecutive 12-month period elected by the Employer in Item S(1). If the Limitation Year ends on the last day of the Fiscal Year and the Fiscal Year is a 52-53 week period, then the Limitation Year shall be such period. All qualified plans maintained by the Employer must use the same 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. 38 Pre-approved Plan means a plan the form of which is the subject of a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service. 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) This (b) applies if, the Participant is not 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. 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) This (c) applies 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, and no such plan is an individually designed plan. 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) This (d) applies 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, and such other plan is an individually designed plan. The Annual Additions that may be credited to the Participant’s Account under this Plan for any Limitation Year will be limited in accordance with (c) above as though the other plan were a Pre- approved Plan, unless the Employer provides other limitations in Item S(2)(a). e) The limitation of this section shall be determined and applied taking into account the rules in subparagraph (f) below.


 
39 f) 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. 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) for the 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 and Matching Contributions based on Elective Deferral Contributions and Participant Contributions withheld from such Differential Wage Payments. 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 40 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 41 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 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 Section 3.07, 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 allocated to participants’ accounts and that are distributable only in accordance with the distribution provisions (other than for hardships or deemed severance from employment as described in Section 5.03) applicable to Elective Deferral Contributions. 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 42 contributed to the plan and that are nonforfeitable when allocated to participants’ accounts and that are distributable only in accordance with the distribution provisions (other than for hardships or deemed severance from employment as described in Section 5.03) applicable to Elective Deferral Contributions. 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. If Item N(5)(b) is not selected, 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. If Item N(5)(b) is selected, distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals shall be made first from the Participant’s Account resulting from Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions. If Item N(5)(c) was selected and applied as of the last day of the applicable year, the Participant may elect 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, no adjustment shall be made for income or loss for the gap period. Any 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. If Catch-up Contributions are not matched (Item P(8)(a) was selected and applied as of the first day of the Plan Year in which such taxable year ends), any Matching Contributions that were based on the Elective Deferral Contributions distributed as Excess Elective Deferrals


 
43 or redesignated as Catch-up Contributions, 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 current year testing method, unless the Employer elected in Item L(2)(a) to use the prior year testing method. An Employer Group may make a separate election under this section. Any elections must be made in writing and in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 401(k) and shall be included as a permanent part of the Plan. 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, unless the Employer elected in Item L(2)(b)(i) to use the Plan Year’s ADP for these Eligible Participants. An Employer Group may make a separate election under this section. Any elections must be made in writing and in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 401(k) and shall be included as a permanent part of the Plan. 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 elected in Item L(2) or an Employer Group 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 44 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. 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 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, unless the Employer elected in Item L(2) to use the current 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 45 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 Section 3.07, 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, 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. The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed from the Participant’s Account shall be reduced by any Excess Elective Deferrals previously distributed for the taxable year ending in the same Plan Year. If Item N(5)(b) is not selected, 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. If Item N(5)(b) is selected, distribution of Excess Contributions shall be made first from the Participant’s Account resulting from Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions. If Item N(5)(c) applied as of the last day of the applicable year, the Participant may elect 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. If Catch-up Contributions are not matched (Item P(8)(a) was selected and applied as of the first day of the applicable year), any Matching Contributions that were based on the Elective Deferral Contributions distributed as Excess Contributions or redesignated as Catch-up 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 current year testing method, unless the Employer elected in Item L(2)(a) to use the prior year testing method. An Employer Group may make a separate election under this section. Any elections must be made in writing and in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 401(m) and shall be included as a permanent part of the Plan. 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 46 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, unless the Employer elected in Item L(2)(c)(i) to use the Plan Year’s ACP for these Eligible Participants. An Employer Group may make a separate election under this section. Any elections must be made in writing and in accordance with the regulations under Code Section 401(m) and shall be included as a permanent part of the Plan. 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 elected in Item L(2) or an Employer Group 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


 
47 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. 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 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, unless the Employer elected in Item L(2) to use the current 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 Section 3.07, 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 which 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, no adjustment shall be made for income or loss for the gap period. 48 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. SECTION 3.09 – 401(k) SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS. The provisions of this section apply if the Employer elected in Item O(1) to be 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. If the Employer elected in Item O(1)(b) to make the 401(k) safe harbor Contributions for all Plan Years, any provisions relating to the ADP Test in Section 3.08 do not apply. If the Employer elected in Item O(1)(d) to make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution for the Plan Year, any provisions relating to the ADP Test in Section 3.08 do not apply for the Plan Year specified in Item O(1)(d). If the Employer elected to satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor and ACP Test Safe Harbor in Item O(1)(a)(i) and the Employer elected in Item O(1)(b) to make the 401(k) safe harbor Contributions for all Plan Years, any provisions relating to the ACP Test in Section 3.08 with respect to Matching Contributions do not apply. If the Employer elected to satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor and ACP Test Safe Harbor in Item O(1)(a)(i) and the Employer elected in Item O(1)(d) to make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution for the Plan Year, any provisions relating to the ACP Test in Section 3.08 with respect to Matching Contributions do not apply for the Plan Year specified in Item O(1)(d). In modification of the foregoing, if the entry requirements for Elective Deferral Contributions and the 401(k) safe harbor Contributions are different, any provisions relating to the ADP Test shall apply in any Plan Year in which a Highly Compensated Employee is part of the group of otherwise excludable employees as defined in section 1.410(b)-6(b)(3) of the regulations for purposes of testing the group of otherwise excludable employees. 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 49 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 Contributions 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 or Qualified Nonelective 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. If Item O(1)(b)(i) is selected, the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Matching Contributions as required in Item O(1)(b)(i). If Item O(1)(b)(ii) is selected, the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Nonelective Contributions as required in Item O(1)(b)(ii). If Item O(1)(d) is selected, the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Nonelective Contributions as required in Item O(1)(d) for the Plan Year specified. The Employer shall pay to the Insurer or Trustee, as applicable, the Qualified Matching Contributions and Qualified Nonelective 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Item O(1)(b)(i)(H) is selected, the Contributions selected in Item O(1)(b)(i) shall be made to the plan specified in Item O(1)(b)(i)(H). If Item O(1)(b)(ii)(D) is selected, the Qualified Nonelective Contributions used to satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor shall be made to the plan specified in that Item. 2) Notice Requirement. i) If the Employer elected in Item O(1)(b) to make the 401(k) safe harbor Contributions for all Plan Years, 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. 50 ii) If the Employer elected in Item O(1)(c) to make the 401(k) safe harbor Contributions for Plan Years in which the Plan is amended, 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 statement that the Employer may amend the Plan during the Plan Year to elect to make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution of at least 3% of a Participant’s Compensation. If the Employer elected in Item O(1)(d) to make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution for the Plan Year and the Plan is so amended, a supplemental notice will be provided no later than 30 days before the end of the Plan Year specified in Item O(1)(d) informing the Participant of such amendment. The notice shall be written in a manner sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to apprise the Active Participant of his rights and obligations and 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 notices 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) Supplemental Notice. If the Employer elected in Item O(1)(d) to make a Qualified Nonelective Contribution for the Plan Year, the Employer shall provide each Active Participant a supplemental notice no later than 30 days before the end of the Plan Year specified in Item O(1)(d). The supplemental notice shall state that a Qualified Nonelective Contribution will be made for such Plan Year and disclose the amount of such Qualified Nonelective Contribution. Such notice may be provided separately or as a part of the notice in (2) above for the following Plan Year. 4) 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)(i) or (ii) above. c) ACP Test Safe Harbor. 1) Matching Contributions. i) If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor and the ACP Test Safe Harbor, Matching Contributions shall be limited as provided in Items O(1)(b)(i) and P. ii) If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Matching Contributions, all Matching Contributions shall be Qualified Matching Contributions, unless otherwise specified in Item O(1)(b)(i)(D)(1). If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Nonelective Contributions, Matching Contributions shall not be Qualified Matching Contributions unless Item P(14) is selected. 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, the Employer may elect to disregard with respect to all Eligible Participants, as defined in Section 3.08, (i) all Matching Contributions or (ii) Matching Contributions that do


 
51 not exceed 4% of each Eligible Participant’s Compensation for purposes of the ACP Test. Alternatively, the Employer may elect to include all Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP test. If the Employer makes no election, they will be deemed to have made an election to disregard all Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP Test. If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using Qualified Nonelective Contributions, but is not satisfying the ACP Test Safe Harbor, the Employer may elect to disregard only such Qualified Nonelective Contributions that do not exceed 3% of each Eligible Participant’s Compensation for purposes of the ACP Test. If the Employer makes no election, all such Qualified Nonelective Contributions shall be disregarded for purposes of the ACP Test. 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. 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 or Qualified Matching Contributions (for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2015) during a Plan Year is permitted if the Employer either (i) is operating at an economic loss as described in Code Section 412(c)(2)(A) for the Plan Year, or (ii) includes in the notice described in (b)(2) above a statement that the Plan may be amended during the Plan Year to revoke the Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions and that the revocation will not apply until at least 30 days after all Active Participants are provided notice of the revocation. If elected in Item O(1)(b)(i)I or O(1)(b)(ii)E the Employer shall revoke the 401(k) safe harbor election for the Plan Year and (i) perform the ADP Test and ACP Test, if applicable, for the entire Plan Year using the current year testing method described in Section 3.08, and (ii) satisfy the Top-heavy Plan requirements of Article XI. If Item O(1)(b)(i)I is selected, the Employer shall make the Qualified Matching Contributions with respect to Elective Deferral Contributions and Compensation for the portion of the Plan Year prior to the effective date of the revocation. If Item O(1)(b)(ii)E is selected, the Employer shall make the Qualified Nonelective Contributions 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 Section 1.02. f) Top-heavy Rules. The Plan is deemed to not be a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in Section 11.02, for a Plan Year if the exception under Code Section 416(g)(4)(H) applies for such year. 52 SECTION 3.10 – ELIGIBLE AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENT (EACA) PROVISIONS. a) Rules of Application. 1) If the Employer elected in Item N(7) to have the EACA provisions apply and such provisions apply for the entire Plan Year, then the provisions of this section shall apply for the Plan Year. 2) To satisfy the requirements to be an EACA a Plan must satisfy the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution requirements described in (b) below; the additional notice requirements in (c) below; and if applicable, the Permissible Withdrawal provisions described in (d) below. 3) The EACA applies to all Eligible Employees. 4) For purposes of Section 3.08, the period for distributing Excess Contributions and Excess Aggregate Contributions, if applicable, without incurring the 10 percent excise tax is extended to six months after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess arose. The period for making such corrective distributions shall only apply if all eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employees and Highly Compensated Employees are covered under the EACA for the entire Plan Year (or for the portion of the Plan Year such Employees were Eligible Employees). 5) 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) Automatic Elective Deferral Contributions. The Plan provides for an automatic election under an EACA to have Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions made in the amounts specified in Item N(7). The automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall be a uniform percentage of Compensation as specified in Item N(7)(a). A Plan does not fail to satisfy the uniform percentage requirement merely because: 1) the percentage varies based on the number of years (or portions of years) an Eligible Employee has participated in the Plan; 2) the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution does not reduce an Elective Deferral Agreement that is in effect for a Participant immediately prior to the effective date of the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution; 3) the rate of Elective Deferral Contributions is limited so as not to exceed the limits of Code Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) (determined with or without Catch-up Contributions), and 415; or 4) the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution is not applied during the period a Participant’s Elective Deferral Contributions are suspended after receipt of a distribution that requires Elective Deferral Contributions to be suspended. 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 election shall also apply to certain Active Participants as provided in Items N(7)(c) and (d). c) Notice Requirements. At least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the beginning of the Plan Year, the Employer shall provide each Eligible Employee a comprehensive notice of his 53 rights and obligations under the Plan. The notice shall explain the automatic election and the Eligible Employee’s right to elect a different rate of Elective Deferral Contributions, to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. The notice shall include: (i) the procedure for exercising those rights and the timing for implementing any such elections; (ii) a description of how the automatic Elective Deferral Contributions will be invested in the absence of an investment election by the Eligible Employee; and (iii) if Permissible Withdrawals are permitted in Item N(7)(e), the Eligible Employee’s right to make a Permissible Withdrawal as described in (d) below and the procedures to request such a withdrawal. After receipt of the notice, the Eligible Employee shall be given a reasonable period thereafter to elect a different rate of Elective Deferral Contributions, to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. If an Employee becomes an Active Participant after the 90th day before the beginning of the Plan Year and does not receive the notices described above for that reason, the 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. If it is not practicable for the notice to be provided on or before such date, the notice shall be treated as provided timely if it is provided as soon as practicable after the date the Eligible Employee becomes an Active Participant and prior to the pay date for the payroll period that includes the date the Employee becomes eligible. The notice shall be written in a manner sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to apprise the Active Participant of his rights and obligations and calculated to be understood by the average Active Participant. d) Permissible Withdrawals. If the Plan allows Permissible Withdrawals in Item N(7)(e), a Participant may withdraw the part of his Vested Account resulting from his automatic Elective Deferral Contributions (and earnings attributable thereto) made under the EACA, subject to the requirements below. The Plan will not fail to satisfy the prohibition on in-service withdrawals of Elective Deferral Contributions described in Section 5.04 merely because it permits such withdrawals. A Permissible Withdrawal may be made without regard to any notice or consent requirements otherwise required under Code Sections 401(a)(11) or 417. In addition, the amount of the withdrawal: (i) is not taken into account in determining the dollar limitation on elective deferrals under Code Section 402(g); (ii) is not included in the ADP Test, or ACP Test, if applicable; and (iii) is not an Eligible Rollover Distribution. A Participant’s request for a withdrawal must be made no later than 90 days after the date the first automatic Elective Deferral Contribution is withheld from the Participant’s Compensation and that would have been included in gross income had it not been withheld. For purposes of determining the date of the first automatic Elective Deferral Contribution under the EACA, an employee who for an entire Plan Year did not have automatic Elective Deferral Contributions made under the EACA is treated as if the employee did not have such Contributions for any prior Plan Year. The request for withdrawal must be effective no later than the earlier of: (i) the pay date for the second payroll period that begins after the date the election is made; and (ii) the first pay date that occurs at least 30 days after the request is made. Unless the Participant elects otherwise, any request for withdrawal shall be treated as an affirmative election to stop having Elective Deferral Contributions made on his behalf as of the effective date of the request for withdrawal. The amount of the withdrawal shall be equal to the amount of the automatic Elective Deferral Contributions made under the EACA through the effective date of the request for withdrawal described above. Such automatic Elective Deferral Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss through the date of distribution. The income or loss allocable to such Permissible 54 Withdrawal shall be determined under rules similar to those provided under section 1.401(k)- 2(b)(2)(iv) of the regulations for the distribution of excess contributions. Any fee charged to the Participant for the withdrawal may not be greater than any other fee charged for a cash distribution. Any Matching Contributions that were based on the automatic Elective Deferral Contributions distributed as a Permissible Withdrawal, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, that have been allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. Matching Contributions are not required to be contributed to the Plan if the Permissible Withdrawal has been made prior to the date as of which the Matching Contribution would otherwise be allocated to the Participant’s Account. SECTION 3.11 – QUALIFIED AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENT (QACA) SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS. The provisions of this section apply if the Employer elected in Item O(2) to be a QACA 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 QACA safe harbor election is revoked as provided in (f) below. a) Rules of Application. 1) To satisfy the requirements to be a QACA Safe Harbor Plan, a Plan must apply the QACA safe harbor provisions for the entire 12-month Plan Year, unless a short Plan Year exception in (8) below applies. 2) To satisfy the requirements to be a QACA safe harbor a Plan must satisfy the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution requirements described in (b) below; the QACA Contribution requirements described in (c) below; the additional notice requirements in (d) below; and if applicable, the Permissible Withdrawal provisions described in (e) below. 3) The QACA applies to all Eligible Employees. 4) The QACA is structured such that it also meets the requirements of an EACA as described in Section 3.10 in order to allow Permissible Withdrawals and the extended period for distributing Excess Aggregate Contributions described in 11 below. 5) If the Employer elected in Item O(2)(g) to make the QACA safe harbor Contributions for all Plan Years, any provisions relating to the ADP Test in Section 3.08 do not apply. If the Employer elected in Item O(2)(i) to make a QACA Nonelective Contribution for the Plan Year, any provisions relating to the ADP Test in Section 3.08 do not apply for the Plan Year specified in Item O(2)(i). 6) If the Employer elected to satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor and ACP Test Safe Harbor in Item O(2)(f)(i) and the Employer elected in Item O(2)(g) to make the QACA safe harbor Contributions for all Plan Years, any provisions relating to the ACP Test in Section 3.08 with respect to Matching Contributions do not apply. If the Employer elected to satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor and ACP Test Safe Harbor in Item O(2)(f)(i) and the Employer elected in Item O(2)(i) to make a QACA Nonelective Contribution for the Plan Year, any provisions relating to the ACP Test in Section 3.08 with respect to Matching Contributions do not apply for the Plan Year specified in Item O(2)(i). 7) In modification of (5) and (6) above, if the entry requirements for Elective Deferral Contributions and the QACA safe harbor Contributions are different, any provisions relating


 
55 to the ADP Test shall apply in any Plan Year in which a Highly Compensated Employee is part of the group of otherwise excludable employees as defined in section 1.410(b)-6(b)(3) of the regulations for purposes of testing the group of otherwise excludable employees. 8) 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 Contributions 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 QACA safe harbor election described in (f) 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 QACA safe harbor election described in (f) below, treating the termination of the Plan as a reduction or suspension of QACA Matching Contributions or QACA Nonelective 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). 9) If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor and the ACP Test Safe Harbor, Matching Contributions shall be limited as provided in Items O(2)(g)(i) and P. 10) 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 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 below with respect to Participant Contributions and Matching Contributions. i) If the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor and the ACP Test Safe Harbor, the Employer may elect to disregard with respect to all Eligible Participants, as defined in Section 3.08, (i) all Matching Contributions or (ii) Matching Contributions that do not 56 exceed 3.5% of each Eligible Participant’s Compensation for purposes of the ACP Test. Alternatively, the Employer may elect to include all Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP test. If the Employer makes no election, they will be deemed to have made an election to disregard all Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP Test. ii) QACA Matching Contributions shall not be treated as being taken into account for purposes of the ADP Test. iii) Elective Deferral Contributions may not be taken into account for purposes of the ACP Test. 11) For purposes of Section 3.08, the period for distributing Excess Aggregate Contributions, if applicable, without incurring the 10 percent excise tax is extended to six months after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess arose. The period for making such corrective distributions shall only apply if all eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employees and Highly Compensated Employees are covered under the QACA for the entire Plan Year (or for the portion of the Plan Year such Employees were Eligible Employees). 12) 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) Automatic Elective Deferral Contributions. The Plan provides for an automatic election under a QACA to have Pre-tax Elective Deferral Contributions made in the amounts specified in Item O(2). The automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall be a uniform percentage of Compensation as specified in Item O(2)(a). A Plan does not fail to satisfy the uniform percentage requirement merely because: 1) the percentage varies based on the number of years (or portions of years) an Eligible Employee has participated in the Plan; 2) the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution does not reduce an Elective Deferral Agreement that is in effect for a Participant immediately prior to the effective date of the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution under the QACA; 3) the rate of Elective Deferral Contributions is limited so as not to exceed the limits of Code Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) (determined with or without Catch-up Contributions), and 415; or 4) the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution is not applied during the period a Participant’s Elective Deferral Contributions are suspended after receipt of a distribution that requires Elective Deferral Contributions to be suspended. The automatic election shall apply when a Participant first becomes eligible to make Elective Deferral Contributions. The automatic election shall also apply when a Participant again becomes eligible to make Elective Deferral Contributions after a period during which he was not an Active Participant. The automatic election that applies to a Participant when he again becomes eligible to make Elective Deferral Contributions shall be determined as follows: 5) For Participants who did not have automatic Elective Deferral Contributions made pursuant to an automatic election under the QACA for an entire Plan Year, the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution shall be determined as if all such Participants had not had such Contributions made for any prior Plan Year. 57 6) All other Participants shall be treated as if the automatic Elective Deferral Contributions, including automatic increases, continue to apply during the period of time they were not Active Participants. The automatic election shall also apply to certain Active Participants as provided in Items O(2)(c) and (d). The effective date of the automatic Elective Deferral Contribution must be no later than the earlier of: (i) the pay date for the second payroll period that begins after the date the notice described in (d) below is provided or (ii) the first pay date that occurs at least 30 days after the notice is provided. c) QACA Contributions. If Item O(2)(g)(i) is selected, the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using QACA Matching Contributions as required in Item O(2)(g)(i). If Item O(2)(g)(ii) is selected, the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using QACA Nonelective Contributions as required in Item O(2)(g)(ii). If Item O(2)(i) is selected, the Plan is satisfying the ADP Test Safe Harbor using QACA Nonelective Contributions as required in Item O(2)(i) for the Plan Year specified. The Employer shall pay to the Insurer or Trustee, as applicable, the QACA Matching Contributions and QACA Nonelective 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Item O(2)(g)(i)(H) is selected, the Contributions selected in Item O(2)(g)(i) shall be made to the plan specified in Item O(2)(g)(i)(H). If Item O(2)(g)(ii)(D) is selected, the QACA Nonelective Contributions shall be made to the plan specified in that Item. d) Notice Requirements. At least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the beginning of the Plan Year, the Employer shall provide each Eligible Employee a comprehensive notice of his rights and obligations under the Plan. The notice shall explain the automatic election and the Eligible Employee’s right to elect a different rate of Elective Deferral Contributions, to elect not to make Elective Deferral Contributions, and if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. The notice shall include: (i) the procedure for exercising those rights and the timing for implementing any such elections; (ii) a description of how the automatic Elective Deferral Contributions will be invested in the absence of an investment election by the Eligible Employee; and (iii) if Permissible Withdrawals are permitted in Item O(2)(e), the Eligible Employee’s right to make a Permissible Withdrawal as described in (e) below and the procedures to request such a withdrawal. If the Employer elected in Item O(2)(g) to make the QACA safe harbor Contributions for all Plan Years, the notice shall also include a description of the QACA Matching Contributions or QACA Nonelective Contributions that will be made to the Plan to satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor. If the Employer elected in Item O(2)(h) to make the QACA safe harbor Contributions for Plan Years in which the Plan is amended, the notice shall also include a statement that the Employer may amend the Plan during the Plan Year to elect to make QACA Nonelective Contributions of at least 3% of a Participant’s Compensation. If the Employer elected in Item O(2)(i) to make a QACA Nonelective Contribution for the Plan Year and the Plan is so amended, a supplemental notice will be provided no later than 30 days before the end of the Plan Year specified in Item O(2)(i) informing the Participant of such amendment. The supplemental notice shall state the amount of such QACA Nonelective Contribution. Such notice may be provided separately or as a part of the annual notice described above. After receipt of the notice, the Eligible Employee shall be given a reasonable period thereafter to elect a different rate of Elective Deferral Contributions, to elect not to make Elective Deferral 58 Contributions, and if Roth Elective Deferral Contributions are permitted in Item N(5), to designate all or any portion of his Elective Deferral Contributions as Roth Elective Deferral Contributions. If an Employee becomes an Active Participant after the 90th day before the beginning of the Plan Year and does not receive the notices described above for that reason, the 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. If it is not practicable for the notice to be provided on or before such date, the notice shall be treated as provided timely if it is provided as soon as practicable after the date the Eligible Employee becomes an Active Participant and prior to the pay date for the payroll period that includes the date the Employee becomes eligible. The notice shall be written in a manner sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to apprise the Active Participant of his rights and obligations and calculated to be understood by the average Active Participant. e) Permissible Withdrawals. If the Plan allows Permissible Withdrawals in Item O(2)(e), a Participant may withdraw the part of his Vested Account resulting from his automatic Elective Deferral Contributions (and earnings attributable thereto) made under the QACA, subject to the requirements below. The Plan will not fail to satisfy the prohibition on in-service withdrawals of Elective Deferral Contributions described in Section 5.04 merely because it permits such withdrawals. A Permissible Withdrawal may be made without regard to any notice or consent requirements otherwise required under Code Sections 401(a)(11) or 417. In addition, the amount of the withdrawal: (i) is not taken into account in determining the dollar limitation on elective deferrals under Code Section 402(g); (ii) is not included in the ADP Test, or ACP Test, if applicable; and (iii) is not an Eligible Rollover Distribution. A Participant’s request for a withdrawal must be made no later than 90 days after the date the first automatic Elective Deferral Contribution is withheld from the Participant’s Compensation and that would have been included in gross income had it not been withheld. For purposes of determining the date of the first automatic Elective Deferral Contribution under the QACA, an employee who for an entire Plan Year did not have automatic Elective Deferral Contributions made under the QACA is treated as if the employee did not have such Contributions for any prior Plan Year. The request for withdrawal must be effective no later than the earlier of: (i) the pay date for the second payroll period that begins after the date the election is made; and (ii) the first pay date that occurs at least 30 days after the request is made. Unless the Participant elects otherwise, any request for withdrawal shall be treated as an affirmative election to stop having Elective Deferral Contributions made on his behalf as of the effective date of the request for withdrawal. The amount of the withdrawal shall be equal to the amount of the automatic Elective Deferral Contributions made under the QACA through the effective date of the request for withdrawal described above. Such automatic Elective Deferral Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss through the date of distribution. The income or loss allocable to such Permissible Withdrawal shall be determined under rules similar to those provided under section 1.401(k)- 2(b)(2)(iv) of the regulations for the distribution of excess contributions. Any fee charged to the Participant for the withdrawal may not be greater than any other fee charged for a cash distribution. Any Matching Contributions that were based on the automatic Elective Deferral Contributions distributed as a Permissible Withdrawal, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, that have been allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. Matching Contributions are not required to be contributed to the Plan if the Permissible Withdrawal has been made prior to the date as of which the Matching Contribution would otherwise be allocated to the Participant’s Account.


 
59 f) Revocation of QACA Safe Harbor Election. The Employer may amend the Plan to revoke the QACA safe harbor election and the corresponding QACA Matching Contributions or QACA Nonelective Contributions during any Plan Year, if the following conditions are met: 1) All Eligible Employees shall be provided a supplemental notice that explains the consequences of the amendment, informs them of the effective date of the elimination of the QACA Matching Contributions or QACA Nonelective Contributions, and explains the procedures to change their Elective Deferral Agreement. 2) The effective date of the revocation cannot be earlier than the later of (i) 30 days after the Eligible Employees are given such notice, and (ii) the date the amendment revoking such provisions is adopted. 3) Eligible Employees 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 QACA safe harbor election. 4) The elimination of the QACA Nonelective Contributions or QACA Matching Contributions (for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2015) during a Plan Year is permitted if the Employer either (i) is operating at an economic loss as described in Code Section 412(c)(2)(A) for the Plan Year, or (ii) includes in the notice described in (d) above a statement that the Plan may be amended during the Plan Year to revoke the QACA Nonelective Contributions or QACA Matching Contributions and that the revocation will not apply until at least 30 days after all Active Participants are provided notice of the revocation. If elected in Item O(2)(g)(i)I or O(2)(g)(ii)E, the Employer shall revoke the QACA safe harbor election for the Plan Year and (i) perform the ADP Test and ACP Test, if applicable, for the entire Plan Year using the current year testing method described in Section 3.08, and (ii) satisfy the Top-heavy Plan requirements of Article XI. If Item O(2)(g)(i)I is selected, the Employer shall make the QACA Matching Contributions with respect to Elective Deferral Contributions and Compensation for the portion of the Plan Year prior to the effective date of the revocation. If Item O(2)(g)(ii)E is selected, the Employer shall make the QACA Nonelective Contributions 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 QACA Matching Contributions and QACA Nonelective Contributions shall be adjusted for the short determination period as described in the definition of Compensation in Section 1.02. g) Top-heavy Rules. The Plan is deemed to not be a Top-heavy Plan, as defined in Section 11.02, for a Plan Year if the exception under Code Section 416(g)(4)(H) applies for such year. 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 designated in Item U(2) 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. 60 a) Participant Directs Investment of Some or All Contributions. 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, 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. b) Employer Directs Investment of Some or All Contributions. If the 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. 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. However, the Named Fiduciary may delegate to the Investment Manager investment direction for Contributions and amounts that are not subject to Participant direction. If a calculation period other than Plan Year is selected in Item O(1)(b)(i)C for a 401(k) Safe Harbor Plan, the Employer shall pay to the Insurer or Trustee, as applicable, the Qualified Matching 61 Contributions calculated based on Elective Deferral Contributions and Compensation for the payroll period specified in Item O(1)(b)(i)C not later than the last day of the following Plan-year Quarter. If a calculation period other than Plan Year is selected in Item O(2)(g)(i)C for a QACA Safe Harbor Plan, the Employer shall pay to the Insurer or Trustee, as applicable, the QACA Matching Contributions calculated based on Elective Deferral Contributions and Compensation for the payroll period specified in Item O(2)(g)(i)C not later than the last day of the following Plan-year Quarter. If a calculation period other than Plan Year is selected in Item P(10) and the Employer elected to satisfy the ADP Test Safe Harbor and ACP Test Safe Harbor, the Employer shall pay to the Insurer or Trustee, as applicable, the Matching Contributions calculated based on Elective Deferral Contributions and Compensation for the period specified in Item P(10) not later than the last day of the following Plan-year Quarter. 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. The provisions of this section apply to plans which allow investment in Qualifying Employer Securities. If a plan is amended to remove the selection of Item U(5)(a), the provisions of this section will continue to apply only for purposes of amounts invested in Qualifying Employer Securities prior to the effective date of such amendment. If permitted under Item U(5)(a) of the Adoption Agreement, all or some portion of the Participant's Account may be invested in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund. If Item U(5)(a)(i) is elected by the Employer, the Contributions that may be invested in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund shall be limited to the Contributions specified in that Item. 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 Adoption Agreement 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. If the Plan is amended to disallow all or some portion of the Participant’s Account to be invested in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund, the provisions of this section shall continue to apply to amounts invested in Qualifying Employer Securities before such amendment is effective. 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. 62 If 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 traded 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 upon 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 judgement 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 a 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 interests in this Plan are required to be registered in order to permit investment in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund as provided in Item U(5)(a) of the Adoption Agreement, 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 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. If the Plan holds publicly traded Qualifying Employer Securities, 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


 
63 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 diversification 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. Buy/Sell Window. If the Plan holds Qualifying Employer Securities that are not publicly traded, annually, or at such other intervals as directed by the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator, at its discretion, may allow Active Participants the opportunity to buy and/or sell Qualifying Employer Securities, and Inactive Participants the opportunity to sell Qualifying Employer Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the valuation of the Qualifying Employer Securities for the buy/sell window shall be based on the valuation performed as of the most recent Valuation Date provided that, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, such value is representative of the fair market value of such securities on the date of the transaction. The Plan Administrator shall require a new valuation of Qualifying Employer Securities if, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, the valuation as of the most recent Valuation Date is not representative of the fair market value of the Qualifying Employer Securities. The Plan Administrator shall set up nondiscriminatory procedures, including any limits, to accommodate the implementation of such transfers among other investment options and the Qualifying Employer Securities. 64 Voting and Tender Rights. Voting rights with respect to Qualifying Employer Securities shall be exercised in the manner specified in Item U(5)(a)(ii). 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 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. If Participants control voting rights, each Participant shall be entitled to one vote for each share credited to his Account. If Participants control voting rights, and 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. If Participants control voting rights, 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. The decision whether to tender Qualifying Employer Securities in response to a tender or exchange offer for such Qualifying Employer Securities shall be made in the manner specified in Item U(5)(a)(iii). 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 Participants control tender decisions, and 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. If Participants control tender decisions, 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. 65 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. SECTION 4.03 – VOTING AND TENDER OF SELF-DIRECTED BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS. Rights of ownership of securities held in the Self-Directed Brokerage Account, including voting rights, tender rights, and rights to exercise exchange offers, shall be passed through to the Participant with respect to whom the Self-Directed Brokerage Account was established. These rights shall be exercised by the Participant through the mechanism (including the course of dealing and practices and procedures) established by the Trustee for the exercise of such rights and in accordance with the Self-Directed Brokerage Account documents. SECTION 4.04 – LIFE INSURANCE. The provisions of this section apply to plans which allow investment in life insurance. If a plan is amended to remove life insurance, any Insurance Policy already purchased under the terms of the Plan shall remain in force and the provisions of this section shall continue to apply to amounts invested in an Insurance Policy before such date. (a) Purchase of Insurance. If permitted under Item U(4)(a), the purchase of life insurance is available under this Plan for the purpose of providing incidental death benefits. An Active Participant may elect to have any part of his Account applied to purchase life insurance coverage on his life, unless otherwise specified in Item U(4)(a)(i). Accumulated deductible employee contributions, as defined in Code Section 72(o)(5)(B), cannot be used to purchase life insurance coverage. The Trustee shall apply for and will be the owner of any Insurance Policy purchased under the terms of the Plan. The purchase shall be subject to the provisions of this section, the distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI or VIA, whichever applies, and the beneficiary provisions of Section 10.07. If the Participant has a spouse to whom he has been continuously married for at least one year, such spouse shall be his Beneficiary under the Insurance Policy, unless (i) a qualified election has been made according to the provisions of the Section 6.03 or 6A.03, whichever applies, or (ii) the Trustee has been named as Beneficiary. If Item AA(3)(f) is selected the one-year marriage requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply. If the Trustee is named as Beneficiary, upon the death of the Participant, the Trustee shall be required to pay over all proceeds of the Insurance Policy to the Participant's Beneficiary or spouse, as the case may be, according to the distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI or VIA, whichever applies. Under no circumstances shall the Trust Fund retain any part of the proceeds. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan and the terms of any Insurance Policy purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall control. The purchase of insurance shall be subject to the limitations that may be imposed by the Insurer under the applicable Insurance Policy. The Insurance Policy may provide for waiver of premium for disability. The total of all insurance premiums for insurance coverage on the life of a Participant provided by Employer Contributions shall be limited to a percentage of all Employer Contributions made for that Participant. All such ordinary life insurance premiums shall be limited to a percentage that is less than 50 percent. All such term life and universal life insurance premiums shall be limited to a percentage that is not more than 25 percent. If both ordinary life insurance, and term life or universal life insurance are purchased, one-half of all such ordinary life insurance 66 premiums and all such other life insurance premiums shall be limited to a percentage which is not more than 25 percent. Ordinary life insurance policies are policies with both nondecreasing death benefits and nonincreasing premiums. Any dividends declared upon an amount of insurance in force on the life of a Participant may, within the terms of the Insurance Policy, be applied to reduce the earliest premium due, purchase paid-up insurance coverage, accumulate under the policy to provide additional death benefits, or be credited to the Participant's Account that is included in the Plan Fund. In the absence of any direction, such dividends shall be applied to reduce the earliest premium due for such amount of insurance. A Participant may elect to have amounts deducted from his Account to pay insurance premiums. The total amount deducted cannot exceed the amount of Contributions credited to his Account that were not used to purchase insurance, but could have been. If a decrease in the amount of life insurance is necessary, any cash value of the terminated insurance shall be retained in the Participant's Account. (b) Transfer of Ownership. Any transfer of ownership under this section shall be subject to the distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI or VIA, whichever applies. Upon the request of a Participant, the Employer may purchase for its cash value a personal life insurance policy issued to, and insuring the life of, the Participant. Such policy shall be immediately transferred from the Employer to the Trustee. The cash value of the purchased policy shall be a part of the Employer Contribution for the Plan Year. Any such purchase shall be accomplished only under an appropriate written agreement between the Participant, the Trustee, and the Employer. In lieu of the Employer's purchase of such policy and at the Employer's direction, the Trustee may purchase the policy directly from the Participant. These provisions shall not be available if the policy is subject to a policy loan or similar lien. The purchase of and future premiums for any such policy shall be subject to the limitations in (a) above. If the Insurance Policy on a Participant’s life allows transfer of ownership, he may pay the Trustee an amount equal to the cash value of such policy. Such payment shall become a part of his Account. Upon receiving the payment, the Trustee shall transfer ownership of the policy to the Participant. This transfer of ownership is not a distribution from the Plan. This option shall only be available to a Participant if the policy would, but for the sale, be surrendered by the Plan. If the Insurance Policy on a Participant’s life allows transfer of ownership and a distribution of his Vested Account would include the cash value of such policy, he may have ownership of such policy transferred to himself without paying the cash value to the Trustee. Any Insurance Policy transferred to the Participant for which he has not paid the cash value to the Trustee is a distribution from the Plan. In applying the provisions of this section, all Participants in similar circumstances shall be treated in a similar manner. Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not be treated in a manner more favorable than that afforded all other Participants. (c) Termination of Insurance. The termination of insurance under this section shall be subject to the distribution of benefits provisions of Article VI or VIA, whichever applies. No premium payments shall be made under this Plan for an Inactive Participant. If a Participant becomes an Inactive Participant before his Retirement Date, the Trustee may either use the cash value of the Insurance Policy on his life to provide paid-up insurance or may surrender the Insurance Policy. The cash value of a surrendered Insurance Policy is retained in the Participant's Account and added to the Investment Fund. The purchase of paid-up insurance


 
67 shall be subject to the provisions of the Insurance Policy. If the Participant has a Severance from Employment before his Retirement Date, he may elect to have the ownership of the Insurance Policy transferred as provided in (b) above. On a Participant's Retirement Date, any Insurance Policy on his life, the ownership of which has not been transferred to him, shall terminate. The cash value shall be paid to the Participant in cash or applied to provide an income for him according to the provisions of the Insurance Policy. In any event, no portion of the value of any Insurance Policy shall be used to continue life insurance protection under the Plan beyond actual retirement. 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 or VIA, whichever applies, and the small amounts payment provisions of Section 10.11. 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 or VIA, whichever applies, and the small amounts payment provisions of Section 10.11. SECTION 5.03 – VESTED BENEFITS. If an Inactive Participant’s Vested Account is not payable under the small amounts payment provisions of Section 10.11, 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. If selections are made in the vested benefit restriction in Item Z(6), distributions from the Participant’s Vested Account resulting from the designated Contributions shall not begin before the Participant becomes Totally Disabled or distributions from the Participant’s Vested Account resulting from the designated Contributions shall not be made until he has had a Severance from Employment for the period of time specified, whichever is applicable. If the Employer elected in Item AA(1)(a) or AA(2) to include life annuities as the automatic form of retirement benefit or as optional forms of distribution, the Participant’s election shall be subject to his spouse's consent as provided in Section 6.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Item AA(5)(b) is selected the Participant’s election shall be subject to his spouse's consent. 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 or VIA, whichever applies. 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. If Item AA(3)(d) is not selected, 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 and is not subject to the six-month suspension. 68 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 Section 5.01 or 5.02. 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 Participant attains age 65 (or Normal Retirement Age, if earlier). 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 and spouse, if applicable, to consent to a distribution while a benefit is immediately distributable, within the meaning of Section 6.03 or 6A.03, whichever applies, 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 Section 7.02. 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. Such amount may also be distributed upon: 1) Termination of the Plan as permitted in Article VIII. 2) The attainment of age 59 1/2 as permitted in Items Z(3), Y(4), and Section 5.05. 3) A federally declared disaster, where resulting legislation or guidance authorizes such a distribution. The Participant’s Vested Account resulting from Elective Deferral Contributions may also be distributed: 4) As a hardship withdrawal as permitted in Item Y(3) and Section 5.05. 5) As a Qualified Reservist Distribution as permitted in Item Y(6) and Section 5.05. 6) If the Participant is deemed to have had a severance from employment as described in Code Section 414(u)(12)(B)(i) and Section 5.03. 69 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 benefits provisions of Article VI or VIA, whichever applies. 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. c) If Item U(5)(a) is selected and the Plan holds Qualifying Employer Securities that are not publicly traded, a Participant will not be eligible to receive a distribution of the portion of a Participant’s Vested Account which is invested in Qualifying Employer Securities until the Participant has a Severance from Employment or died, and has received or requested a distribution of the total remaining Vested Account. If a Participant is eligible to receive a distribution under this section and has elected to receive the distribution in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, the value of Qualifying Employer Securities for purposes of the distribution shall be based on the valuation as of the most recent Valuation Date and the distribution shall be made to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible; provided, however, that the portion of a Participant’s Vested Account invested in Qualifying Employer Securities may only be distributed subject to the Plan’s available liquidity or pursuant to a nondiscriminatory distribution policy that coordinates the valuation of Qualifying Employer Securities and the Plan’s buy/sell window. SECTION 5.05 – WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS. a) Financial Hardship Withdrawals. If elected by the Employer in Item Y(3), withdrawals of part of the Participant’s Account as provided in Item Y(3) will be permitted in the event of hardship due to an immediate and heavy financial need. If elected by the Employer in Item Y(7), the portion of the Participant’s Account held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may not be redeemed for purposes of these withdrawals. 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. If elected by the Employer in Item Y(3)(g), immediate and heavy financial need shall also include expenses described in (i), (iii), and (v) (relating to medical, tuition, and funeral expenses, respectively) of a Primary Beneficiary. No withdrawal shall be allowed which is not necessary to satisfy such immediate and heavy financial need. If Item Y(3)(h) is not selected, 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 other plans 70 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. If Item Y(3)(h) is selected, no withdrawal shall be allowed which is in excess of the amount required to relieve the financial need or if such need can be satisfied from other resources that are reasonably available to the Participant. The amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may include any amount necessary to pay any Federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The Participant's request for a withdrawal shall include his written statement that the amount requested does not exceed the amount needed to meet the financial need. The Participant's request for a withdrawal shall include his written statement that the need cannot reasonably be relieved: (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (ii) by reasonable liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause immediate and heavy financial need; (iii) by cessation of elective contributions or participant contributions under the Plan; or (iv) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans currently available from plans maintained by the Employer or any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms. A Participant shall not cease to be an Eligible Participant, as defined in Section 3.08, merely because his elective contributions or participant contributions are suspended. b) Other Withdrawals. If permitted under Item Y(1), a Participant may withdraw any part of his Vested Account resulting from Voluntary Contributions subject to the limitations provided in Item Y(1). If permitted under Item Y(2), a Participant may withdraw any part of his Vested Account resulting from Rollover Contributions subject to the limitations provided in Item Y(2). If elected by the Employer in Item Y(4), withdrawals of part of the Participant’s Vested Account as provided in Item Y(4) will be permitted at any time after he attains age 59 1/2 subject to the limitations provided in Item Y(4). If elected by the Employer in Item Y(5), withdrawals of any part of the Participant’s Vested Account as provided in Item Y(5) will be permitted after he has been an Active Participant for at least five years subject to the limitations provided in Item Y(5). If elected by the Employer in Item Y(6), 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. If Item Y(8) is selected, additional withdrawal options are available in the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum. If permitted under Item H(1) of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum, a Participant may withdraw any part of his Vested Account as provided in Item H(1) of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum, if the amounts being distributed have been held in the Plan Fund for at least two years subject to the limitations provided in Item H(1) of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum. If permitted under Item H(2) of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum, a Participant may withdraw any part of his Vested Account as provided in Item H(2) of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum, any time after he has become Totally Disabled subject to the limitations provided in Item H(2) of the Additional Selections and Minor Modifications Addendum. If elected by the Employer in Item Y(7), the portion of the Participant’s Account held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may not be redeemed for purposes of these withdrawals. A request for withdrawal shall be made in such manner and in accordance with such rules the Employer prescribes 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 or VIA, whichever applies. A forfeiture shall not occur solely as a result of a withdrawal.


 
71 SECTION 5.06 – LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS. If permitted under Item U(3)(a), loans shall be made available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis. If Item U(3)(a)(vii) is selected, the source of the loan is limited to the portion of the Participant’s Account resulting from the Contributions selected in that Item. If Item U(3)(a)(viii) is selected, loans shall be available only in the event of hardship due to an immediate and heavy financial need, as defined in Section 5.05. The amount of the loan shall be limited to the amount needed to satisfy such need. 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, if any, held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may be redeemed as specified in Item U(3)(a)(ix). The number of outstanding loans shall be limited to one, unless a different number is specified in Item U(3)(a)(iv). No more than one loan shall be approved for any Participant in a rolling 12-month period, unless a different number or 12-month period is specified in Item U(3)(a)(v). If Item U(3)(a)(ii)B is not selected, the minimum amount of any loan shall be $1,000, or the amount specified in Item U(3)(a)(ii)A. If Item U(3)(a)(v)C is selected, after the repayment of an outstanding loan or approval of a loan, no additional loans will be approved for the number of days specified in that Item. 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. 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. In addition, the amount of the loan may be further limited to a specified dollar amount, if Item U(3)(a)(iii) so indicates. If Item U(3)(a)(vii) is selected, the loans can only be made from the portion of the Participant’s Vested Account resulting from the Contributions selected in Item U(3)(a)(vii) and the maximum amount of the loan is further limited to the portion of the Participant’s Vested Account resulting from the Contributions selected in Item U(3)(a)(vii) (and further reduced by any outstanding loan balance on the date the new loan is made if more than one outstanding loan is allowed in Item U(3)(a)(iv)A). For purposes of this maximum, a Participant’s Vested Account does 72 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. If life annuities are not allowed (Item AA(1)(b) is selected and Items AA(2)(a) – (d) are not selected), no spousal consent shall be required. If the Employer elected in Item AA(1)(a) or AA(2) to include life annuities as the automatic form of retirement benefit or as optional forms of distribution and subparagraph (d)(1) of Section 6.03 applies, no consent shall be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Item AA(5)(b) is selected spousal consent shall be required. 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 Employer elected in Item U(3)(a)(vi)A to allow the term of the loan to be longer than five years and 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 repayment period shall be consistent with commercial home loan practices. If Item U(3)(a)(vi)A(1) is selected, the repayment period is the number of years specified in Item U(3)(a)(vi)A(1). The Participant shall make an application for a loan in such manner and in accordance with such rules the Employer prescribes 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. 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. 73 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, Insurer or the Trustee, as specified in the promissory note, and delivered to the Plan to be credited to the Account of the Participant. Such payment may include 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. A loan shall be in default if any payment of principal and interest, or any portion thereof, remains unpaid for more than 90 days after due. A different number of days or the end of the calendar-year quarter may be specified in Item U(3)(a)(x) for the timing of the loan 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. 74 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. In lieu of 90 days, a different number of days or the end of the calendar-year quarter may be specified in Item U(3)(a)(x). 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 (or a different number of days or the end of the calendar-year quarter as specified in Item U(3)(a)(xi)) 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, unless otherwise modified as provided below. a) If Items U(3)(a)(xi)C(1) and (2) are not selected, an outstanding loan shall not be due and payable to the extent a Participant impacted by a business event: (i) elects a Direct Rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution that includes the loan note; (ii) the Direct Rollover is paid to another qualified plan; and (iii) the rollover of the loan note is made in accordance with nondiscriminatory procedures set up by the Loan Administrator. For this purpose, a business event means an acquisition, merger, or similar transaction involving a change in the employer of the employees of a trade or business. b) If Item U(3)(a)(xi)C(1) is selected, the ability to roll over an outstanding loan balance shall not be limited to Participants impacted by a business event. c) If Item U(3)(a)(xi)(D) is selected, an outstanding loan shall not be due and payable if it has been determined by mutual agreement between the Loan Administrator and the former Participant that the former Participant may continue the repayment of a loan after having a Severance from Employment and ceasing to be a party-in-interest as defined in ERISA. If the Plan is amended to no longer allow loans, the provisions of this section will continue to apply only for purposes of repaying any outstanding loans as of the effective date of such amendment. If the Plan does not allow loans and another plan that allows loans is merged into this Plan, the loan provisions in effect the day before the effective date of the merger shall continue to apply only for purposes of repaying any outstanding loans as of the effective date of the merger. SECTION 5.07 – DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS. If Item AA(3)(e) is not selected, 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.


 
75 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 small amounts payment provisions of Section 10.11 if the value of the benefit does not exceed $5,000 or a lesser amount specified in Item Z(7)(a), if selected. 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). 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). ARTICLE VI DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS FOR PLANS THAT PROVIDE FOR LIFE ANNUITIES The provisions of this article shall apply if the Employer elected in Item AA(1)(a) or AA(2) to include life annuities as the automatic form of retirement benefit or as optional forms of distribution. The provisions of Article VIA shall apply if life annuities are not allowed (Item AA(1)(b) is selected and Items AA(2)(a) – (d) are not selected). The provisions of this article shall apply to any Participant who is credited with at least one Hour of Service on or after August 23, 1984, and to such other Participants as provided in Section 6.05. SECTION 6.01 – AUTOMATIC FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION. If Item AA(1)(a) is selected, unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a qualified election within the election period (see Section 6.03), 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: 76 1) The Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity for a Participant who has a spouse. 2) The Normal Form for a Participant who does not have a spouse. b) Death Benefits. The automatic form of death benefit for a Participant who dies before his Annuity Starting Date shall be: 1) A Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity for a Participant who has a spouse to whom he has been continuously married throughout the one-year period ending on the date of his death. If Item AA(3)(f) is selected the one-year marriage requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply. The spouse may elect to start receiving the death benefit on any day (the first day of any month if Item Z(2)(a) is selected or the specified day of any month if Item Z(2)(b) is selected) on or after the Participant dies and by the date the Participant would have been age 70 1/2. If the spouse dies before benefits start, the Participant’s Vested Account, determined as of the date of the spouse’s death, shall be paid to the spouse’s Beneficiary. 2) A single sum payment to the Participant’s Beneficiary for a Participant who does not have a spouse who is entitled to a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity. Before a death benefit will be paid on account of the death of a Participant who does not have a spouse who is entitled to a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, it must be established to the satisfaction of a plan representative that the Participant does not have such a spouse. If Item AA(1)(b) is selected, unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a qualified election within the election period (see Section 6.03), the automatic form of benefit payable to or on behalf of a Participant is determined as follows: c) 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. d) 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: (i) if Item AA(2)(b) is selected, a single life annuity; (ii) if Item AA(2)(c) is selected, single life annuities with certain periods of 5, 10, or 15 years; (iii) if Item AA(2)(d) is selected, a single life annuity with installment refund; (iv) if Item AA(2)(a) is selected, survivorship life annuities with installment refund and survivorship percentages of 50%, 66 2/3%, 75%, or 100%; (v) if Item AA(2)(e) is selected, fixed period annuities for any period of whole months that is not less than 60; (vi) if Item AA(2)(f) is selected, a fixed period installment option; (vii) if Item AA(2)(g) is selected, a fixed payment installment option; and (viii) a single sum payment or partial payments subject to the limitations of Item AA(3)(c), if selected. If Item AA(2)(h) is selected, the portion of a Participant’s Account that is held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may be distributed in kind. If Item AA(2)(i) is selected, the portion of a Participant’s Account that is held in the Self- Directed Brokerage Account may be distributed in kind. If Item AA(3)(a) is selected, the survivorship life annuities and any life annuity options selected in Item AA(2) will only be available for the portion of a Participant’s Account resulting from a direct or indirect transferee after December 31, 1984, of a defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, target benefit plan, stock bonus plan, or profit sharing plan that is subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417. 77 If Item AA(3)(b) is selected, the portion of a Participant’s Account that is held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may only be distributed in-kind. The fixed period installment option is an optional form of benefit under which the Participant elects to receive substantially equal annual payments over a fixed period of whole years. The annual payment may be paid in annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly installments as elected by the Participant. The Participant may elect to receive additional payments. The fixed payment installment option is an optional form of benefit under which the Participant elects to receive a specified dollar amount each year. The annual payment may be paid in annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly installments as elected by the Participant. The Participant may elect to receive additional payments. Under the installment options the amount payable in the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year, as defined in Section 7.02, must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Article VII for such year. Distributions for later Distribution Calendar Years must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Article VII for such years. If the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date does not occur until his second Distribution Calendar Year, the amount payable for such year must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Article VII for both the first and second Distribution Calendar Years. Election of an optional form is subject to the qualified election provisions of Section 6.03 and the distribution requirements of Article VII. Any annuity contract distributed shall be nontransferable. The terms of any annuity contract purchased and distributed by the Plan to a Participant or spouse shall comply with the requirements of this Plan. b) Death Benefits. The optional forms of death benefit are a single sum payment and any annuity that is an optional form of retirement benefit, except for survivorship life annuities. Election of an optional form is subject to the qualified election provisions of Section 6.03 and the distribution requirements of Article VII. SECTION 6.03 – ELECTION PROCEDURES. The Participant, Beneficiary, or spouse 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 or Contingent Annuitant and may elect to have retirement benefits distributed under any of the optional forms of retirement benefit available in Section 6.02. 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 Section 6.02. If the Participant has not elected an optional form of distribution for the death benefit payable to his Beneficiary, the Beneficiary may, for his own benefit, elect the form of distribution, in like manner as a Participant. The Participant may waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity by naming someone other than his spouse as Beneficiary. 78 In lieu of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity described in Section 6.01, the spouse may, for his own benefit, waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity by electing to have the benefit distributed under any of the optional forms of death benefit available in Section 6.02. c) Qualified Election. The Participant, Beneficiary, or spouse may make an election at any time during the election period. The Participant, Beneficiary, or spouse 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 election period as to retirement benefits is the 180-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. An election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity may not be made before the date the Participant is provided with the notice of the ability to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. 2) Election Period for Death Benefits. A Participant may make an election as to death benefits at any time before he dies. The spouse’s election period begins on the date the Participant dies and ends on the date benefits begin. The Beneficiary's election period begins on the date the Participant dies and ends on the date benefits begin. An election to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity may not be made by the Participant before the date he is provided with the notice of the ability to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity. A Participant’s election to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity that is made before the first day of the Plan Year in which he reaches age 35 shall become invalid on such date. An election made by a Participant after he has a Severance from Employment will not become invalid on the first day of the Plan Year in which he reaches age 35 with respect to death benefits from that part of his Account resulting from Contributions made before he had a Severance from Employment. 3) Consent to Election. If the Participant’s Vested Account exceeds the amount determined in Section 10.11, any benefit that is (i) immediately distributable or (ii) payable in a form other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, requires the consent of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse (or where either the Participant or the spouse has died, the survivor). Such consent shall also be required if the Participant had previously had an Annuity Starting Date with respect to any portion of such Vested Account. The consent of the Participant or spouse to a benefit that is immediately distributable must not be made before the date the Participant or spouse 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 before the Annuity Starting Date. Spousal consent is not required for a benefit that is immediately distributable in a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. Furthermore, if spousal consent is not required because the Participant is electing an optional form of retirement benefit that is not a life annuity pursuant to (d)(1) below, only the Participant need consent to the distribution of a benefit payable in a form that is not a life annuity and which is immediately distributable. Neither the consent of the Participant nor the Participant’s spouse shall 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


 
79 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 (or surviving spouse) before the Participant attains (or would have attained if not deceased) the older of Normal Retirement Age or age 62. If the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is waived, the spouse has the right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary or a specific form of benefit. The spouse can relinquish one or both such rights. Such consent shall be in writing. The consent shall not be made more than 180 days before the Annuity Starting Date. If the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity is waived, the spouse has the right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary. 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 or a specific form of benefit, if applicable, and that the relinquishment of one or both such rights 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 form of benefit, if applicable, and the Beneficiary (including any Contingent Annuitant), 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 not 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. d) Spousal Consent for Profit Sharing Plans. The provisions of (d)(1) below apply if the Employer did not elect in Item AA(5)(b) to require spousal consent for all distributions. The provisions of (d)(2) below apply if the Employer elected in Item AA(5)(b) to require spousal consent for all distributions. 1) Special Rule for Profit Sharing Plans. If the Plan is not a direct or indirect transferee after December 31, 1984, of a defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, target benefit plan, stock bonus plan, or profit sharing plan which is subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417, spousal consent is not required for electing an optional form of retirement benefit that is not a life annuity. If the Plan is such direct or indirect transferee, spousal consent shall be required for electing an optional form of retirement benefit that is not a life annuity based on the following: i) If Item AA(5)(a) is not selected, spousal consent shall be required for all Participants electing an optional form of retirement benefit that is not a life annuity. ii) If Item AA(5)(a) is selected and Item AA(5)(a)(i) is not selected, spousal consent shall be required for electing an optional form of retirement benefit that is not a life annuity if any portion of a Participant’s Account resulted from the direct or indirect transfer regardless of whether or not the distribution includes the transferred assets. iii) If Item AA(5)(a)(i) is selected, spousal consent shall be required for electing an optional form of retirement benefit that is not a life annuity only if the distribution includes any portion of the transferred assets. 80 2) If Item AA(5)(b) is selected, spousal consent shall be required for all distributions even if such consent would not otherwise be required under Code Section 417. SECTION 6.04 – NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. a) Optional Forms of Retirement Benefit and Right to Defer. The Plan Administrator shall furnish to the Participant and the Participant’s spouse a written explanation of the right of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse 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 Section 6.02, including a general description of the material features and a description of the consequences of not deferring the distribution. The explanation shall be written in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Code Section 417(a)(3) and section 1.417(a)(3)-1 of the regulations. The Plan Administrator shall furnish the written explanation by a method reasonably calculated to reach the attention of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse no less than 30 days, and no more than 180 days, before the Annuity Starting Date. The Participant (and spouse, if applicable) may waive the 30-day election period if the distribution of the elected form of retirement benefit begins more than 7 days after the Plan Administrator provides the Participant (and spouse, if applicable) the written explanation provided that: (i) the Participant has been provided with information that clearly indicates that the Participant has at least 30 days to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution and a particular distribution option, (ii) the Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative distribution election at least until the Annuity Starting Date or, if later, at any time prior to the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the explanation is provided to the Participant, and (iii) the Annuity Starting Date is a date after the date that the written explanation was provided to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions shall only be delayed by the 7-day period above if the Participant is electing an optional form of retirement benefit that is a life annuity or he is subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417, pursuant to Section 6.03(d). b) Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. If Item AA(1)(a) or (2)(a) are selected, the Plan Administrator shall furnish to the Participant a written explanation of the following: the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; the Participant’s right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; the rights of the Participant’s spouse; and the right to revoke an election and the effect of such a revocation. 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, before the Annuity Starting Date. The Participant (and spouse, if applicable) may waive the 30-day election period if the distribution of the elected form of retirement benefit begins more than 7 days after the Plan Administrator provides the Participant (and spouse, if applicable) the written explanation provided that: (i) the Participant has been provided with information that clearly indicates that the Participant has at least 30 days to consider whether to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and elect (with spousal consent, if applicable) a form of distribution other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, (ii) the Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative distribution election at least until the Annuity Starting Date or, if later, at any time prior to the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the explanation of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is provided to the Participant, and (iii) the Annuity Starting Date is a date after the date that the written explanation was provided to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions shall only be delayed by the 7-day period above if the Participant is electing an optional form of 81 retirement benefit that is a life annuity or he is subject to the survivor annuity requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417, pursuant to Section 6.03(d). After the written explanation is given, a Participant or spouse may make a written request for additional information. The written explanation must be personally delivered or mailed (first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Participant or spouse within 30 days from the date of the written request. The Plan Administrator does not need to comply with more than one such request by a Participant or spouse. The Plan Administrator's explanation shall be written in nontechnical language and will explain the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and the financial effect upon the Participant’s benefit (in terms of dollars per benefit payment) of electing not to have benefits distributed in accordance with the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. The written explanation shall comply with the requirements of section 1.417(a)(3)-1 of the regulations. c) Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity. If Item AA(1)(a) or (2)(a) are selected, the Plan Administrator shall furnish to the Participant a written explanation of the following: the terms and conditions of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity; the Participant’s right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity; the rights of the Participant’s spouse; and the right to revoke an election and the effect of such a revocation. The Plan Administrator shall furnish the written explanation by a method reasonably calculated to reach the attention of the Participant within the applicable period. The applicable period for a Participant is whichever of the following periods ends last: 1) the period beginning one year before the date the individual becomes a Participant and ending one year after such date; or 2) the period beginning one year before the date the Participant’s spouse is first entitled to a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity and ending one year after such date. If such notice is given before the period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35, an additional notice shall be given within such period. If a Participant has a Severance from Employment before attaining age 35, an additional notice shall be given within the period beginning one year before the date he has a Severance from Employment and ending one year after such date. After the written explanation is given, a Participant or spouse may make a written request for additional information. The written explanation must be personally delivered or mailed (first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Participant or spouse within 30 days from the date of the written request. The Plan Administrator does not need to comply with more than one such request by a Participant or spouse. The Plan Administrator's explanation shall be written in nontechnical language and will explain the terms and conditions of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity and the financial effect upon the spouse's benefit (in terms of dollars per benefit payment) of electing not to have benefits distributed in accordance with the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity. The written explanation shall comply with the requirements of section 1.417(a)(3)-1 of the regulations. SECTION 6.05 – TRANSITIONAL RULES. a) Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who would otherwise not receive the benefits prescribed by the previous sections of this article, must be given the opportunity to elect to have the prior sections of this article apply if such Participant is credited with at least one Hour of Service under this Plan, or a predecessor plan, in a Plan Year beginning on or after 82 January 1, 1976, and such Participant had at least ten Years of Service when he separated from service. b) Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who was credited with at least one Hour of Service under this Plan, or a predecessor plan, on or after September 2, 1974, and who is not otherwise credited with any service in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1976, must be given the opportunity to elect to have his benefits paid in accordance with (d) below. c) The respective opportunities to elect (as described in (a) and (b) above) must be afforded to the appropriate Participants during the period beginning on August 23, 1984, and ending on the date benefits would otherwise begin to such Participants. d) Any Participant who has elected according to (b) above and any Participant who does not elect under (a) above or who meets the requirements of (a) above except that such Participant does not have at least ten Years of Service when he separates from service, shall have his benefits distributed in accordance with all of the following requirements if benefits would have been payable in the form of a life annuity: 1) Automatic Joint and Survivor Annuity. If benefits in the form of a life annuity become payable to a married Participant who: i) begins to receive payments under the Plan on or after his Normal Retirement Age; or ii) dies on or after his Normal Retirement Age while still working for the Employer; or iii) begins to receive payments on or after his qualified early retirement age; or iv) separates from service on or after attaining his Normal Retirement Age (or his qualified early retirement age) and after satisfying the eligibility requirements for the payment of benefits under the Plan and thereafter dies before beginning to receive such benefits; then such benefits shall be paid under the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, unless the Participant has elected otherwise during the election period. The election period must begin at least six months before the Participant attains his qualified early retirement age and end not more than 90 days before benefits begin. Any election hereunder shall be in writing and may be changed by the Participant at any time. 2) Election of Early Survivor Annuity. A Participant who is employed after attaining his qualified early retirement age shall be given the opportunity to elect, during the election period, to have a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity payable on death. If the Participant elects the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, payments under such annuity must not be less than the payments that would have been made to the spouse under the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if the Participant had retired on the day before his death. Any election under this provision shall be in writing and may be changed by the Participant at any time. The election period begins on the later of (i) the 90th day before the Participant attains his qualified early retirement age, or (ii) the date on which participation begins, and ends on the date he terminates employment. 3) For purposes of this subparagraph (d), qualified early retirement age is the latest of: i) the earliest date, under the Plan, on which the Participant may elect to receive retirement benefits,


 
83 ii) the first day of the 120th month beginning before the Participant reaches his Normal Retirement Age, or iii) the date the Participant begins participation. ARTICLE VIA DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS FOR PLANS THAT DO NOT PROVIDE FOR LIFE ANNUITIES The provisions of this article shall apply if life annuities are not allowed (Item AA(1)(b) is selected and Items AA(2)(a) – (d) are not selected). The provisions of Article VI shall apply if the Employer elected in Item AA(1)(a) or AA(2) to include life annuities as the automatic form of retirement benefit or as optional forms of distribution. SECTION 6A.01 – AUTOMATIC FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION. Unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a qualified election within the election period (see Section 6A.03), 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 6A.02 – OPTIONAL FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION. a) Retirement Benefits. The optional forms of retirement benefit shall be the following: (i) a single sum payment or partial payments subject to the limitations of Item AA(3)(c), if selected; (ii) if Item AA(2)(e) is selected, fixed period annuities for any period of whole months that is not less than 60; (iii) if Item AA(2)(f) is selected, a fixed period installment option; and (iv) if Item AA(2)(g) is selected, a fixed payment installment option. If Item AA(2)(h) is selected, the portion of a Participant’s Account that is held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may be distributed in kind. If Item AA(2)(i) is selected, the portion of a Participant’s Account that is held in the Self-Directed Brokerage Account may be distributed in kind. If Item AA(3)(b) is selected, the portion of a Participant’s Account that is held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may only be distributed in-kind. The fixed period installment option is an optional form of benefit under which the Participant elects to receive substantially equal annual payments over a fixed period of whole years. The annual payment may be paid in annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly installments as elected by the Participant. The Participant may elect to receive additional payments. The fixed payment installment option is an optional form of benefit under which the Participant elects to receive a specified dollar amount each year. The annual payment may be paid in annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly installments as elected by the Participant. The Participant may elect to receive additional payments. Under the installment options the amount payable in the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year, as defined in Section 7.02, must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Article VII for such year. Distributions for later Distribution Calendar Years must satisfy the minimum 84 distribution requirements of Article VII for such years. If the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date does not occur until his second Distribution Calendar Year, the amount payable for such year must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Article VII for both the first and second Distribution Calendar Years. Election of an optional form is subject to the qualified election provisions of Section 6A.03 and the distribution requirements of Article VII. Any annuity contract distributed shall be nontransferable. The terms of any annuity contract purchased and distributed by the Plan to a Participant or spouse shall comply with the requirements of this Plan. b) Death Benefits. The optional forms of death benefit are a single sum payment and any annuity that is an optional form of retirement benefit. Election of an optional form is subject to the qualified election provisions of Section 6A.03 and the distribution requirements of Article VII. SECTION 6A.03 – ELECTION PROCEDURES. The Participant or the Beneficiary, if applicable, 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 Section 6A.02. 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 Section 6A.02. If the Participant has not elected an optional form of distribution for the death benefit payable to his Beneficiary, the Beneficiary may, for his own benefit, elect the form of distribution, in like manner as a Participant. c) Qualified Election. The Participant or Beneficiary, if applicable, may make an election at any time during the election period. The Participant or Beneficiary, if applicable, 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, if applicable, 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 determined in Section 10.11, 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. 85 The consent shall not be made more than 180 days 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 not 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. d) Spousal Consent for all Distributions. If Item AA(5)(b) is selected, spousal consent shall be required for all distributions even if such consent would not otherwise be required under Code Section 417. If Item AA(5)(b) is not selected, spousal consent for distributions shall not be required. SECTION 6A.04 – NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. If Item AA(1)(b) is selected and no selections are made in Item AA(2), the provisions of (a) below apply. If any selections are made in Item AA(2), the provisions of (b) below apply. a) Right to Defer. The Plan Administrator shall furnish to the Participant a written explanation of the right of the Participant to defer distribution until the benefit is no longer immediately distributable and 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, before the Annuity Starting Date. 86 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 the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. b) 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 Section 6A.02, including a general description of the material features and a description of the consequences of not deferring the distribution. The explanation shall be written in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Code Section 417(a)(3) and section 1.417(a)(3)-1 of the regulations. 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, 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 and VIA, whichever applies. 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. 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 subparagraph (b)(2) of Section 7.03. 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.


 
87 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 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 a 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. To satisfy the joint and survivor annuity requirements described in Article VI, the requirements in Notice 97-75, Q&A-8, must be satisfied for any Participant who elects to stop distributions, including the requirement that such distributions stop before the end of the Plan’s remedial amendment period under Code Section 401(b) for changes in plan qualification requirements made by the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. There shall be a new Annuity Starting Date upon recommencement. SECTION 7.03 – REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. a) General Rules. 1) Subject to Section 6.01, joint and survivor annuity requirements, if applicable, 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. 88 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. 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. 89 c) Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. 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. 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 90 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. f) If Item U(5)(a) is selected and the Plan holds Qualifying Employer Securities that are not publicly traded, any distribution of a Participant’s Vested Account attributable to Qualifying Employer Securities shall be made subject to the procedures providing liquidity, including the coordination of Contributions for the current Plan Year that are to be made in the form of Qualifying Employer Securities. SECTION 7.04 – TEFRA SECTION 242(b)(2) ELECTIONS. a) Notwithstanding the other requirements of this article and subject to the joint and survivor annuity requirements of Article VI, if applicable, 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. 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.


 
91 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. If Item A(4) is selected, the effective date to freeze the Plan will be treated as the date of complete discontinuance of Contributions. 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. 92 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 or VIA, whichever applies. However, the fixed period and fixed payment installment options shall not be available. If a Participant or Beneficiary is receiving payments under the fixed period or fixed payment installment option, the Vested Account shall be paid to such person in a single sum. 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 Section 6.03 or 6A.03, whichever is applicable, 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. ARTICLE IX ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 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 participate in the Plan and the amount of benefit to which any Participant, Beneficiary, spouse, or Contingent Annuitant may become entitled. The Plan Administrator's decisions upon all matters within the scope of its authority shall be final. Without limiting the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall be the Named Fiduciary for Contributions, unless the Plan Administrator delegates to a retirement committee pursuant to Section 9.06 the duties and responsibilities of the Named Fiduciary for Contributions. The 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 legal claims for Contributions, including for trusteed plans, responsibility for directing the Trustee with respect to the Plan’s legal claims for delinquent Contributions. 93 Unless otherwise set out in the Plan or Annuity Contract, the Plan Administrator may delegate recordkeeping and other duties which 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, Beneficiaries, spouses, and Contingent Annuitants. 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. The Plan Administrator may establish a separate expense budget account (“EBA”)) under the Plan from which expenses will be paid. An EBA will generally be funded by revenue sharing payments remitted to the plan related to the Investment Fund or service agreements, but may also be funded by amounts deducted or netted from Participant Accounts. If any amounts remain in this account after expenses have been paid, the Plan Administrator may, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, allocated amounts to Participants as earnings no later than the Plan Year in which the amounts were credited to the EBA or, in appropriate circumstances, no later than the end of the immediately succeeding Plan Year. 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 Trustee or Annuity Contract; 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. SECTION 9.03 – RECORDS. All acts and determinations of the Plan Administrator shall be duly recorded. All these records, together with 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. 94 SECTION 9.05 – CLAIM PROCEDURES. a) 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. 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


 
95 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. b) Disability Claim Procedures. If disability is not determined based on Title II of the Federal Social Security Act or in accordance with the terms of the Employer’s long-term disability plan, in the case of a claim for disability benefits, the above provisions will be modified as provided below. The Plan Administrator shall ensure that all claims and appeals for disability benefits are adjudicated in a manner designed to ensure the independence and impartiality of the persons involved in making the decision. If a claim for disability 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 45 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 period for furnishing the notice may be extended for up to 30 days if the Plan Administrator both determines an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and notifies the Claimant in writing within this initial 45-day period. The notice shall indicate the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. If prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Plan Administrator determines that, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period may be extended for up to an additional 30 days, provided the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant in writing, within the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. In the case of any extension, the notice of extension shall specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues. The Claimant shall be afforded at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information. In the event that a period of time is extended due to a Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information. 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 96 additional material and information needed for the Claimant to perfect his claim for benefits; (iv) explain why the material and information is needed; (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; (vi) provide the Claimant with any internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criteria that was relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criteria of the Plan does not exist; and (vii) provide the Claimant with an explanation of any scientific or clinical judgment for the determination if benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit or a statement that the benefit is based on such an exclusion or limit and such explanation will be provided free of charge. The notice shall also provide the Claimant with a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following, (i) the views presented by the Claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the Claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the Claimant; (ii) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a Claimant's adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (iii) a disability determination regarding the Claimant presented by the Claimant to the Plan made by the Social Security Administration. The notice shall be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner and provide 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. Any appeal made by a Claimant must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within 180 days after receipt of the Plan Administrator’s notice of denial of benefits. 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. The review shall not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and shall be conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor the subordinate of such individual. If the adverse benefit determination is based in whole or in part on a medical judgment, the appropriate named fiduciary shall consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment. Such health care professional shall be an individual who is neither an individual who was consulted in connection with the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor the subordinate of such individual. The Claimant shall be provided with the identity of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied on. Before a claim for disability benefits is wholly or partially denied on review, the Plan Administrator shall provide the Claimant, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Plan, Insurer, or other person making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Plan, Insurer or such other person) in connection with the claim; such evidence must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice that the claim for disability benefits is wholly or partially denied on review to give the Claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date; and provide before a claim for disability benefits is wholly or partially denied on review based on a new or additional rationale, the Plan Administrator shall provide the Claimant, free of charge, with the rationale; the rationale must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice 97 that the claim for disability benefits is wholly or partially denied on review to give the Claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date. 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 45 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 45-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 45 days from the end of the initial 45-day period. To the extent that a period of time is extended due to a Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information. If the claim for disability 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; (iv) include a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a); (v) provide the Claimant with any internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criteria that was relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criteria of the Plan does not exist; (vi) provide the Claimant with an explanation of any scientific or clinical judgment for the determination if benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit or a statement that the benefit is based on such an exclusion or limit and such explanation will be provided free of charge; and (vii) provide the Claimant with the following statement: “You and your plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.” Any civil action under (iv) must be filed no later than one year after the date on the Plan Administrator’s notice. The notice shall also provide the Claimant with a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following, (i) the views presented by the Claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the Claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the Claimant; (ii) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a Claimant's adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (iii) a disability determination regarding the Claimant presented by the Claimant to the Plan made by the Social Security Administration. The notice shall be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. 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. 98 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, Trustee, Insurer, or the Employer 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 reserve 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 Section 1.02. 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. ARTICLE X GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 10.01 – AMENDMENTS. a) Amendment by the Employer. The Employer may: 1) amend a selection or specification in the Adoption Agreement 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. 2) amend the Adoption Agreement to specify or change the effective date of a provision as permitted under the Plan. 3) amend the Plan by adding overriding plan language to the Adoption Agreement in order to satisfy Code Sections 415 and 416 because of the required aggregation of multiple plans under those sections. 4) amend the Plan by adding sample or model Plan amendments published by the Internal Revenue Service that provide that their adoption will not result in the Employer losing reliance on the opinion letter.


 
99 5) amend administrative provisions of the Plan such as provisions relating to investments, Plan claims procedures, and Employer contact information provided the amended provisions are not in conflict with any other provision of the Plan and do not cause the Plan to fail to qualify under Code Section 4.01. 6) make interim amendments or discretionary amendments that are related to a change in qualification requirements. 7) 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 pre-approved plan provider. 8) 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. 9) make minor modifications to the Plan as permitted under section 8 of Revenue Procedure 2017-41. If the Employer amends the Plan for any reason other than those set out above, the Plan shall no longer have reliance on the opinion letter. 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 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. 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. 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. 100 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. 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 Pre-approved Plan Provider. The Employer delegates the authority to amend this Plan to Principal Life Insurance Company as the pre-approved plan provider. 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 opinion letter, Principal Life Insurance Company as the pre-approved plan provider 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 6.03 of Revenue Procedure 2017-41 that is not permitted under the Opinion Letter program, or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service notifies the Employer, in accordance with section 8.06(3) of Revenue Procedure 2017-41, that the Plan is an individually designed plan due to the nature and extent of employer amendments to the Plan. 101 Any amendment to this Plan by Principal Life Insurance Company, as the pre-approved plan provider, 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, or a lesser amount specified in Item Z(7)(c), if selected, in accordance with the small amounts payment provisions of Section 10.11 (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 with an affiliate of Principal Life Insurance Company. For purposes of determining whether a Mandatory Distribution is greater than $1,000, or a lesser amount specified in Item Z(7)(c), if selected, (i) the portion of the Participant’s distribution attributable to any Rollover Contributions is included, unless Item Z(7)(b) is selected, in which case any such Rollover Contributions shall be disregarded; and (ii) 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 payment provisions of Section 10.11 (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 hardship or deemed severance from employment as described in Section 5.03), 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 102 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 hardship or deemed severance from employment as described in Section 5.03), 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 and he may not make Participant Contributions, 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 will comply with the Plan. See Section 10.09. 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


 
103 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, spouse, or Contingent Annuitant 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 (other than any income payable to a Contingent Annuitant) that may arise out of his participation in the Plan. The Participant may change his Beneficiary from time to time. If life annuities are not allowed (Item AA(1)(b) is selected and Items AA(2)(a) – (d) are not selected), 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. If the Employer elected in Item AA(1)(a) or AA(2) to include life annuities as the automatic form of retirement benefit or as optional forms of distribution, 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 who is entitled to a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be the Participant’s spouse. The Participant’s Beneficiary designation and any change of Beneficiary shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.03 or 6A.03, whichever applies. 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. 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, unless otherwise specified in Item Z(8)(a). 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 except in the case of a loan as provided in Section 5.06. The preceding sentences shall also apply to the creation, assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with 104 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 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. Moreover, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and any conflicting provision contained in any associated trust, custodial account document or any document that is incorporate by reference, the terms of this Plan will govern. 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 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 or a lesser amount specified in Item Z(7)(a), if selected, 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); provided, however, if the Plan holds Qualifying Employer Securities that are not publicly traded, amounts invested in Qualifying Employer Securities may only be distributed subject to the Plan’s available liquidity. For purposes of this section, if Item Z(7)(b) is selected, Rollover Contributions shall be disregarded when determining the value of the Participant’s Vested Account. 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. If the vested benefit delay of the small vested account in Item Z(6) is selected, the Participant shall not be treated as having a Severance from Employment for any reason other than retirement or death before the period of time specified has elapsed or becoming Totally Disabled, if applicable, and no small amounts payment shall be made if he again becomes an Employee before such period of time has elapsed. 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, or a lesser amount specified in Item Z(7)(c), if selected, a Mandatory Distribution will be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02. If his Vested Account is $1,000, or the amount specified in Item Z(7)(c), or less, the Participant’s entire Vested Account shall be paid directly to him. 105 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 (spouse if the death benefit is payable to the spouse). 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 service period in which the change is effective if he is credited with the required number of Hours of Service. For that portion of the service period ending on the date of the change (for the first day of the service period if the change is made on the first day of the service 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 service period (the period beginning on the second day of the service period and ending on the last day of the service period if the change is made on the first day of the service 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 service 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 service period in which the change in service method is effective. 5) The greater of (i) the service that would be credited to the Employee for that entire service 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 service period in which the change in service method was effective. 106 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 service 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 service period ending on the date he became an Eligible Employee (for the first day of such service period if he became an Eligible Employee on the first day of such service 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 service period (the period beginning on the second day of such service period and ending on the last day of such service period if he became an Eligible Employee on the first day of such service 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 service 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 service 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 service 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 service 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


 
107 414(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 pre-approved plan and shall be considered an individually designed plan. SECTION 10.16 – UNCLAIMED PROPERTY. In the event a cash distribution of a small Vested Account in accordance with Section 10.11 or any other distribution (whether required by the Plan or requested by a Participant or Beneficiary) in accordance with Article VI, VIA or VII, whichever applies, goes unclaimed by a Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator, at its discretion, may treat such amount as a Forfeiture or pay the distribution in a Direct Rollover to an individual retirement plan with an affiliate of Principal Life Insurance Company. Before any unclaimed amount may be treated as a Forfeiture, the Plan Administrator must make reasonable efforts to locate the Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to the unclaimed amount. For this purpose, reasonable efforts include, but are not limited to the following: (i) send a notice to the Participant or Beneficiary at his last known address via certified mail; (ii) check related plan and employer records for updated information regarding the current residence of the Participant or Beneficiary; (iii) in the case of a Participant who has named a Designated Beneficiary, contact his Designated Beneficiary to request updated contract information for the Participant; (iv) use of one or more free internet search tools; (v) use of Internet search tools, commercial locator services, credit reporting agencies, information brokers, investigation databases and analogous services. Reasonable expenses to conduct a search for the Participant or Beneficiary, may be assessed against the Participant’s Account. If a Participant or Beneficiary make a claim for benefits that have been treated as a Forfeiture under this section, the Plan Administrator shall restore the amount that was forfeited, unadjusted for any investment gains or losses. If a Participant again becomes an Employee of the Employer, he will be deemed to have made a claim for any of his benefits that were subject to Forfeiture under this section. If the Employer terminates the Plan, any amounts forfeited under this section shall be restored and paid in a Direct Rollover to an individual retirement plan for the benefit of the Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to the unclaimed amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount that is subject to escheatment under applicable state law shall not be considered a Forfeiture under this section. 108 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 terms as used clearly indicate 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 Sections 11.03 and 11.04 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 Items M(1), M(2) and M(4)(a) for purposes of Section 3.07. 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: 109 a) an officer of the Employer having Compensation for the Plan Year greater than $175,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1)), 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. 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 110 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 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 Section 11.04 will vest according to the vesting schedule selected in Item V(2) or (3). If no schedule is selected in Items V(2) or (3) 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 Section 11.04 (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). 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 for the Plan Year on behalf of 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.


 
111 b) The "highest percentage" of Compensation for such Plan Year at which Employer Contributions are made for or allocated to any Key Employee. The highest percentage shall be determined by dividing 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 employer 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 total employer 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. To the extent a participant covered under this Plan can be covered under any other plan or plans of the Employer, the Employer may provide in Item S(3) that the minimum contribution or benefit requirement applicable to Top-heavy Plans shall be made in only one of the plans (including a plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement that meets the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(11) or 401(m)(12) are met). 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. APPENDIX A The actuarial factor under Table 1 for a Plan Year for a person is the factor corresponding to the number of years such person’s attained age as of the end of the Plan Year precedes the testing age. The testing age is the Normal Retirement Age of such person, or his age as of the end of the Plan Year, if older.

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. By modifying the first paragraph of Item Y(3) in the Adoption Agreement as follows: 401(k) HARDSHIP. 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. By modifying Item Y(3) in the Adoption Agreement to allow the following Contributions to be available in the event of a financial hardship: Qualified Matching Contributions QACA Matching Contributions Qualified Nonelective Contributions QACA Nonelective Contributions Wage Rate Contributions that are designated as Qualified Nonelective Contributions By modifying subparagraph (a) of Plan Section 5.05 in the Basic Plan as follows: a) Financial Hardship Withdrawals.

If elected by the Employer in Item Y(7), the portion of the Participant’s Account held in the Qualifying Employer Securities Fund may not be redeemed for purposes of these withdrawals. 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 postsecondary 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 Effective July 1, 2022 3 Plan ID No. 1080199 (73571) Subtype 101006 that would qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to Code Section 165(h)(5) and whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income); (vii) expenses and losses (including loss of income) incurred by the Employee on account of a disaster declared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Robert T.

In determining whether the need can be relieved from cash or other liquid resources that are reasonably available to a Participant, the Employer may rely on the Participant's representation (unless the Employer has actual knowledge to the contrary) that the need cannot reasonably be relieved from other resources.
