(a) Fixed Formula:

(1) Fixed Percentage Employer Contribution - For each Contribution Period, the Employer shall contribute for each "eligible" Participant (except as otherwise provided in (A)(i) below) a percentage of such "eligible" Participant's Compensation equal to:

(A) 0.00% (not to exceed 25%) to all “eligible” Participants, except as provided in (i) below.

Note: The eligible group(s) defined below must be definitely determinable and cannot be subject to the discretion of the Employer. In addition, the design of the classifications cannot be such that the only Non-Highly Compensated Employees benefiting under the Plan are those with the lowest compensation and/or the shortest periods of service and who may represent the minimum number of such employees necessary to satisfy coverage under Code Section 410(b).

If the Plan cannot be restructured to satisfy the nondiscriminatory benefits requirements, the Plan shall be required to satisfy the nondiscriminatory amount requirement by testing in accordance with Section 1.401(a)(4)-2(a) of the Treasury Regulations.

cross-testing in accordance with Section 1.401(a)(4)-8 of the Treasury Regulations to satisfy the nondiscriminatory amount requirement and the Plan does not meet the exception found in Section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(1)(i)(B)(1) or (2), the Plan shall provide a gateway contribution to Participants required to benefit under this allocation to the extent described in Section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(1)(vi). All Participants not included in an allocation group above shall be considered as not benefiting under this allocation for the Contribution Period unless otherwise is required to pass the nondiscriminatory amount testing pursuant to Section 1.401(a)(4)-8 of the Treasury Regulations. The Employer shall notify the Plan Administrator of the amount allocable to each group.

(2) 401(k) Safe Harbor Formula - The Nonelective Employer Contribution specified in the 401(k) Safe Harbor Nonelective Employer Contributions Addendum is intended to satisfy the safe harbor contribution requirements under Sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code such that the "ADP" test (and, under certain circumstances, the "ACP" test) is deemed satisfied. Please complete the 401(k) Safe Harbor Nonelective Employer Contributions Addendum to the Adoption Agreement. (Choose only if Option 1.07(a), Deferral Contributions, is checked.)

(5) The following replaces Subsection 1.12(b):

(b) Discretionary Formula - The Employer may decide each Contribution Period whether to make a discretionary Nonelective Employer Contribution on behalf of "eligible" Participants in accordance with Section 5.10 of the Basic Plan Document.

(4) Participant Group Allocation Method – The Nonelective Employer Contribution is allocated first at the Employer's discretion among the employee groups with the same allocation rate, as identified below. The amount allocated to each such group shall then be allocated among the "eligible" Participants within such group in the ratio that each "eligible" Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation paid to all "eligible" Participants within the group.

(A) Employee Groups – Allocation groups will be determined in the following manner:

(1) Each "eligible" Participant will be considered his own allocation group.

Note: The specific categories of "eligible" Participants should be such that resulting allocations are provided pursuant to a definite predetermined formula that complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.401-1(b)(1)(ii).

(B) Unless the Plan can be restructured in accordance with regulations under Code Section 401(a)(4) to provide uniform percentages of Compensation to "eligible Participants", the Plan will not satisfy a design-based safe harbor pursuant to the regulations under Code Section 401(a)(4). If the Plan cannot be restructured, the Plan shall be required to satisfy the nondiscriminatory amount requirement by testing in accordance with Section 1.401(a)(4)-2(a) of the Treasury Regulations. If the Plan is required to pass cross-testing in accordance with Section 1.401(a)(4)-8 of the Treasury Regulations to satisfy the nondiscriminatory amount requirement and the Plan does not meet the exception found in Section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(1)(i)(B)(1) or (2), the Plan shall provide a gateway contribution to Participants required to benefit under this allocation to the extent described in Section 1.401(a)(4)-8(b)(1)(vi). All Participants not included in an allocation group above shall be considered as not benefiting under this allocation for the Contribution Period unless otherwise is required to pass the nondiscriminatory amount testing pursuant to Section 1.401(a)(4)-8 of the Treasury Regulations. The Employer shall notify the Plan Administrator of the amount allocable to each group.

Note: The requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(a)(6) (describing what constitutes a cash or deferred arrangement with respect to Self-Employed Individuals) applies to the allocation formula under this Option. Therefore, the allocation formula should be structured so that application of the formula does not create a cash or deferred arrangement with respect to a Self-Employed Individual (e.g., by permitting partners to directly or indirectly vary the amount of contribution made on their behalf).

(6) The following is added at the end of Subsection 1.18(a) as a new Subsection 1.18(a)(1) and supersedes Article 9 to the extent required:

(1) Loan not Due on Termination. If a Participant with an outstanding loan balance terminates employment with the Employer and all Related Employers, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on such loan shall not be immediately due and payable as provided in Section 9.11 of the Basic Plan Document. Instead, such loan shall continue to be payable in accordance with the provisions of the loan note and Article 9 of the Basic Plan Document.

(7) The following replaces Section 19.05:

19.05. Costs of Administration. All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, and employee communication fees) incurred by the Administrator and the Trustee in administering the Plan and Trust may be paid from the forfeitures (if any) resulting under Section 11.08, from the suspense account described in this Section, if any, or from the remaining Trust Fund. All such costs and expenses paid from the remaining Trust Fund shall, unless allocable to the Accounts of particular Participants, be charged against the Accounts of all Participants as provided in the Service Agreement.

Amounts a service provider agrees to credit to the Plan in recognition of the service provider’s compensation for Plan services will be allocated to a suspense account from which the Administrator may pay Plan expenses and/or allocate amounts to the Accounts of Participants and Beneficiaries pro rata based on their Account balances in the Trust excluding amounts invested in a loan pursuant to Article 9. Any amounts so allocated shall not constitute “annual additions” (as defined in Subsection 6.01(a)) under the Plan.
