LOANS
Upon written application to the Custodian, the Custodian may make a loan to an

Employee in any year. Loans are subject to certain other restrictions specified
in the Custodial Agreement and the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the
Custodian has reserved the right to implement rules and impose conditions on a
uniform basis in connection with the making and administration of loans as it
deems necessary. For example, the Custodian may require that an Employee
maintain a specified, substantial Account balance before becoming eligible to
apply for a loan. Also, the Custodian may charge a loan application fee and an
additional annual fee for servicing loans. An Employee who applies for and
receives a loan must adhere to the terms of the Promissory Note and Security
Agreement executed in connection with the loan.
Any failure to pay principal or interest, when due, on any loan may be treated
as a taxable distribution from the Custodial Account and may result in other
adverse tax consequences (such as the loss of the Custodial Account's
tax-exempt status).

salary reduced or foregone by the Employee to the Account. The Employer and
Employee shall not enter into more than one such Salary Reduction Agreement in
any one taxable year of the Employee. The Salary Reduction Agreement may be
terminated at any time by the Employee with respect to amounts not yet earned
by the Employee.
3.3 LIMITATIONS IN GENERAL: The Employee shall compute and determine the
maximum amount that may be contributed on behalf of the Employee in accordance
with the Employee's exclusion allowance, as defined in Section 403(b)(2) of the
Code, and in accordance with the applicable limitations under Section 415(c) of
the Code. Neither the Custodian nor the Company shall have any liability or
responsibility with respect to such computations or determinations, or for any
tax imposed on any excess contributions that exceed the limitations or
exclusion allowance.
3.4 CONTRIBUTION LIMITATIONS:
(a) No amount shall be contributed on behalf of the Employee for any
limitation year in excess of the applicable limitations of Section 415(c) of
the Code. In the absence of a special election by the Employee under Section

(ii) 25 percent of the Employee's compensation (within the meaning of
Section 415(c)(3) of the Code) for the limitation year.

Employee elects to change the limitation year to another 12-month period
by attaching a statement to his or her federal income tax return in
accordance with the regulations under Section 415 of the Code. If the
Employee is in control (within the meaning of Code Section 414(b) or (c),
as modified by Code Section 415(h) of the Employer, the limitation year
shall be the same as the limitation year of the Employer under Section 415
of the Code.
(c) If the Employer, or any affiliated employer as described in Section 415(h)
of the Code, makes contributions on behalf of the Employee to any other
annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, then the
contributions to such annuity contract shall be combined with the
contributions to the Account for purposes of the limitations of subsection
(a). If the Employee is covered by a qualified plan sponsored by an entity
controlled by the Employee, then contributions to such a plan shall also
be included for the purposes of the limitations of subsection (a).
3.5 EXCLUSION FROM GROSS INCOME: For federal tax purposes, the Employee may
exclude from gross income for any taxable year, the Employer contributions that

taxable year.
3.6 EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS: Any excess contributions (as defined in Section
4973(c) of the Code) that are made to the Account shall be subject to the 6
percent excise tax of Section 4973(a) of the Code. Neither the Custodian nor
the Company shall have any duty or responsibility for determining whether any
contributions to the Account are excludable from the Employee's gross income,
or for assuring that any contributions to the Account do not constitute excess
contributions for purposes of Code Section 4973. If, during any taxable year
the Employer contributes an amount which is an "excessive contribution," such
excess contribution and any income attributable thereto shall, upon the written
request of the Employee to the Custodian specifying the amount of such excess
contribution and income, be paid to the Employee by the Custodian, or, at the
Employee's election, be applied toward a contribution for the next year.

(a) Employer contributions that are made to the Account pursuant to a
Salary Reduction Agreement shall not exceed the amount of $9,500, as
adjusted in accordance with

permitted with respect to the Employee for the taxable year under
Section 402(g)(8) of the Code, reduced by the aggregate amounts
contributed in any calendar year at the election of the Employee to
any qualified cash and deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k)
of the Code, any simplified employee pension described in Section
408(k)(6) of the Code, and any eligible deferred compensation plan
described in Section 457 of the Code.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if
the Employee determines that an amount contributed during a taxable
year to the Account exceeds the limitation set forth in subsection (a),
and no later than March 1 of the following taxable year notifies the
Custodian in writing of the excess amount the Employee has determined,
then the Custodian shall distribute such excess amount, plus any income
or minus any losses allocable thereto, to the Employee no later than
the following April 15. The Employee shall have the sole responsibility
for timely allocating any excess deferrals to the Account and notifying
the Custodian in accordance with these procedures.
(c) Neither the Custodian nor the Company shall have any duty or
responsibility for determining whether any contributions to the Account
constitute excess deferrals as described in Section 402(g)(2)(A) of the
Code, or for assuring that any excess deferrals are timely allocated to
the Account in accordance with the procedures of Section
402(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.
3.8 ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSFERS:
(a) The Employee shall be permitted to make a rollover contribution to
the Account of an amount received by the Employee that is attributable
to participation in another annuity contract or Custodial Account
described in Section 403(b) of the Code, provided such rollover
contribution complies with all requirements of Section 403(b)(8) or
Section 408(d)(3)(A)(iii) of the Code, whichever is applicable.
(b) The Custodian may accept a direct transfer of assets to the Account
on behalf of the Employee from another annuity contract or Custodial
Account described in Section 403(b) of the Code to the extent
permitted by the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder. The
Employee shall not request or initiate a transfer from a contract or
account covered by ERISA, unless the transferee Account is part of an
employee benefit plan which provides distribution restrictions
which meet the requirements of Section 205 of ERISA and the regulations
thereunder with respect to any amount transferred.
(c) Neither the Custodian nor the Company shall have any duty or
responsibility for determining whether any rollover contribution or
transfer of assets by or on behalf of the Employee pursuant to this
Article 3.6 is a proper rollover contribution or transfer of assets
under the Code, or for the tax treatment to the Employee of any
transfer or rollover.
(d) The Employee reserves the right to transfer or roll over the assets
of the Account to such other form of annuity contract or Custodial
Account described in Section 403(b) of the Code or to such Individual
Retirement Account (▇▇▇) or other plan established pursuant to Section
408 of the Code as the Employee may determine, upon written
instructions to the Custodian, in a form acceptable to the Custodian,
provided, however, that the Custodian shall have no responsibility for
the tax treatment to the Employee of any such transfer or rollover.
(e) The Custodian shall not be liable for losses arising from the acts,
omissions, or delays or other inaction of any party transferring assets
to the Account or receiving assets transferred from the Account
pursuant to this Article.

paid directly to the Custodian. Contributions may be made by check or bank
wire. Contributions shall be preceded or accompanied by written instructions
directing the investment of the amount contributed on behalf of the Employee in
accordance with Article 4.1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARTICLE IV INVESTMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT: All contributions to the Account, and all assets in
the Account, shall be invested in the Fund(s) in accordance with instructions
given to the Custodian by the Account Holder in a manner acceptable to the
Custodian. By giving such instructions, the Account Holder will be deemed to
have acknowledged receipt of the then-current prospectus of any Fund in which
the Account Holder instructs the Custodian to invest such contributions or
assets. If the Custodian receives any contribution to the Account that is not
accompanied by acceptable instructions directing its investment, the Custodian
may hold or return all or a part of the contribution, uninvested, without
liability for loss of income or appreciation, pending receipt of acceptable
instructions.
4.2 INVESTMENT ADVICE: The Account Holder agrees that neither the Custodian nor
the Company undertakes to provide any advice with respect to the investment of
the Account, and that the responsibility of the Custodian to invest in shares
of a particular Fund, pursuant to the directions of the Account Holder, does
not constitute an endorsement by the Custodian of that Fund. Neither the
Custodian nor the Company shall be liable for any loss that results from the
exercise of control over the Account by the Account Holder.
4.3 ACCOUNT EARNINGS: All dividends, capital gains distributions and other
earnings received by the Custodian on any shares held in the Account, shall be
automatically reinvested in additional shares.
4.4 INVESTMENT EXCHANGES: The Account Holder may direct the Custodian to redeem
any or all shares of any Fund that are held in the Account and to reinvest the
proceeds in any other Fund available under this Agreement. Any such exchange
transaction shall conform with the provisions of the current prospectus for the
applicable Fund.
4.5 RECORD OWNERSHIP: Voting of Shares: All shares of the Company acquired by
the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the
Custodian or its nominee. The Custodian shall mail or transmit to the Account
Holder all notices, prospectuses, financial statements, proxies and proxy
soliciting materials relating to the shares held in the Account. The Custodian
shall not vote any such shares except in accordance with written instructions
received from the Account Holder, provided however, that the Custodian may, in
the absence of instructions, vote "present" for the sole purpose of allowing
such shares to be counted for establishment of a quorum at a shareholder's
meeting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARTICLE V DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS OF ACCOUNT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1 REQUEST FOR DISTRIBUTION: The Custodian shall distribute the assets of the
Account to the Employee upon receipt by the Custodian of a written request for
distribution submitted by the Employee, in a form acceptable to the Custodian,
subject to the limitations of Article 5.2.
5.2 LIMITATIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS: Except as may otherwise be provided in
Article 3.6, the assets of the Account shall not be distributed to the Employee
before the Employee attains age 59 1/2 unless the Employee has:
(a) separated from the service of the Employer,
(b) incurred a Disability, or
(c) encountered Financial Hardship.
Any distribution that is made to the Employee for reason of Financial Hardship
shall not exceed the amount of Employer contributions made to the Account,
pursuant to a salary reduction agreement with the Employee, excluding earnings
thereon.
5.3 METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION: Subject to the limitations of this Article 5, the
Employee may elect to have distribution of the assets of the Account made in
one or a combination of the following ways:
(a) lump-sum payment; or
(b) monthly, quarterly or annual installment payments over a period certain
not to exceed the life expectancy of the Employee or the joint and last
survivor life expectancy of the Employee and his or her Beneficiary
in a manner that satisfies the minimum distribution requirements of
Article 5.4.
If no election of the method of distribution is made by the Employee within 30
days of receipt by the Custodian of the written request for distribution
referred to in Article 5.1, the Custodian shall make such distribution to the
Employee in a lump-sum payment of cash.
5.4 MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO DEATH OF EMPLOYEE:
(a) COMMENCEMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS: Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, distribution of the Account shall commence
no later than the "Required Beginning Date." For any Employee who
attained age 70 1/2 prior to January 1, 1988, the Required Beginning
Date is the April 1 following the calendar year in which the Employee
attains age 70 1/2 or terminates employment, whichever is later. For
any employee who attained age 70 1/2 in 1988, and had not retired by
January 1, 1989, the Required Beginning Date is April 1, 1990. For any
other Employee who attained age 70 1/2 after December 31, 1987, the
Required Beginning Date is April 1 following the calendar year
in which the Employee attains age 70 1/2, regardless of whether the
Employee has then retired.
(b) MINIMUM AMOUNTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED: The minimum amount to be distributed
to the Employee for each taxable year, beginning no later than the
Required Beginning Date under subsection (a) above, must equal or
exceed the minimum distribution required under Sections 401(a)(9) and
403(b)(10) of the Code and must meet the incidental death benefit
requirement of these Sections.
5.5 DISTRIBUTION UPON DEATH OF EMPLOYEE: In the event the Employee dies prior
to the complete distribution of the assets of the Account, all assets remaining
in the Account shall be distributed to the Employee's Beneficiary in a lump-sum
payment or in monthly, quarterly or annual installment payments over a
specified period as selected in writing by the Beneficiary in accordance with
the following rules:
2
6
(a) WHERE DISTRIBUTION HAD ALREADY COMMENCED:
If distribution to the Employee had already commenced, and the Employee
died after the Employee's Required Beginning Date, the assets of the
Account shall be distributed to the Beneficiary at least as rapidly
as under the method of distribution in effect prior to the Employee's
death.
(b) FIVE-YEAR RULE: If the Employee died before the Employee's Required
Beginning Date, the assets of the Account shall be distributed to the
Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year which contains the
fifth anniversary of the death of the Employee.
(c) EXCEPTION FOR DISTRIBUTIONS OVER LIFE EXPECTANCY: Notwithstanding
subsection (b) above, the assets of the Account may be distributed to
the Beneficiary in installment payments over a period certain not
exceeding the Beneficiary's life expectancy, provided such distribution
commences by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the
year of the Employee's death or, if the
Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the Employee, by December 31 of
the later of (1) the calendar year immediately following the calendar
year in which the Employee died or (2) the calendar year in which the
Employee would have attained age 70 1/2.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent
permitted under regulation, ruling procedures or notice of the Internal Revenue
Service, the minimum distribution calculated in accordance with Code sections
403(b)(10) and 401(a)(9) may be taken from any 403(b) annuity or account of the
Employee. If the Beneficiary dies while receiving payments from the Account,
all remaining assets in the Account shall be distributed as soon as practicable
to the estate of the Beneficiary.
5.6 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY: The Employee may, from time to time, designate
any person, persons or entity as the Beneficiary who shall receive any
undistributed assets held in the Account at the time of the Employee's death.
Any beneficiary designation by the Employee shall be made on a form prescribed
by the Custodian, and shall be effective only when filed with the Custodian
during the lifetime of the Employee. If the Employee fails to designate a
Beneficiary in the manner provided above, or if the Beneficiary designated by
the Employee predeceases the Employee, the assets of the Account shall be
distributed, upon the death of the Employee, in the following order or
priority: first to the Employee's surviving spouse, if any, and second, to the
estate of the Employee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any direct contributions are made to the
Account, or if this Agreement constitutes part of an "employee benefit plan"
under ERISA, then the Beneficiary of a married Employee must be the spouse of
the Employee, unless the spouse of the Employee consents in writing to
designation of a different Beneficiary, and such consent acknowledges the
effect of the designation, specifies the nonspouse Beneficiary designated, and
is witnessed by a notary public. Furthermore, such a designation of a nonspouse
Beneficiary may be changed only if the spouse of the Employee provides a new
consent that meets all requirements of the preceding sentence.
5.7 DISTRIBUTIONS PURSUANT TO QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS: In the case
of an Account that is part of an "employee pension benefit plan" (as defined in
ERISA), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit distribution to any person in
accordance with the terms of a "qualified domestic relations order" as defined
in Section 206(d) of ERISA.
5.8 DIRECT ROLLOVERS. This section applies to distributions made on or after
January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement 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 Custodian and fund transfer agent, to have any portion of an eligible
rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by
the distributee in a direct rollover. For the purpose of this section, the
following definitions apply:
(a) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover is 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: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (no 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; any
distribution to the extent such distribution is required to comply with
the minimum distribution and incidental benefit requirements of section
401(a)(9) and 403(b)(10) of the Code; and the portion of any
distribution that is not includible in gross income. An eligible
rollover distribution also does not include any other amounts that may
be excluded under regulations, procedures, notices, or rulings
interpreting the term eligible rollover distribution under sections
401(a)(31), 402, or 403(b) of the Code.
(b) Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual
retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code,
or another 403(b) annuity that accepts the distributee's eligible
rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover
distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is
an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.
(c) Distributee: A distributee includes 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 Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the
interest of the spouse or former spouse.
(d) Direct rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
(e) The Custodian and fund transfer agent may prescribe reasonable
procedures for the election of direct rollovers under this section,
including, but not limited to, requirements that the distributee provide
the Custodian with adequate information, including, but not limited to:
the name of the eligible retirement plan to which the rollover is to be
made; a representation that the recipient plan is an individual
retirement plan or a 403(b) annuity, as appropriate; acknowledgement
from the recipient plan that it will accept the direct rollover; and
any other information necessary to make the direct rollover.

ARTICLE VI RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES OF CUSTODIAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1 ASSET RETENTION: The Custodian shall hold all contributions to the
Account which are received by it subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and for the purposes set forth herein. The Custodian shall be
responsible only for such assets as shall actually be received by it.
6.2 RECORDING AND REPORTS: The Custodian shall file such reports with the
Internal Revenue Service as may be required to be filed by the Custodian (not
including such reports as may be required to be filed by the Employer) under
Treasury Regulations. The Custodian, the Employer, Employee and Beneficiary
shall furnish to one another such information relevant to the Account as may be
required in connection with such reports. Unless the Employee (or Beneficiary,
where applicable) sends the Custodian written objection to a report within
sixty (60) days after its receipt, the Employee (or Beneficiary, where
applicable) shall be deemed to have approved such report, and in such case, the
Custodian shall be forever released and discharged from all liability and
accountability to anyone with respect to all matters and things included
therein. The Custodian may seek a judicial settlement of its accounts. In any
such proceeding, the only necessary party thereto in addition to the Custodian
shall be the Employee.
6.3 LIMITATIONS ON RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:
(a) The Custodian shall not be responsible in any way for the collection of
contributions provided for under this Agreement, the selection of the
investments for the Account, the purpose or propriety of any
distribution made pursuant to Article 5 hereof, or any other action
taken at the direction of the Employee (or Beneficiary, where
applicable). The Custodian shall not be obliged to take any action
whatsoever with respect to the Account except upon receipt of
directions in a form acceptable to the Custodian from the Employee (or
Beneficiary, where applicable). The Custodian shall be under no

directions and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance
therewith.

solely the duties assigned to it under the Agreement, it being
acknowledged that certain of such duties may be performed by the

reinvestment of Account assets), expenses, fees and administrative costs
incurred by the Custodian in the performance of its duties (including fees for

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARTICLE IX AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.1 AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT:
(a) The Employee, Employer, and Custodian hereby delegate to the Company
the power to amend this Agreement, including any retroactive amendment
necessary for the purpose of conforming the Agreement to the
requirements of the Code. The Company shall deliver written notice of
any such amendment to the Employee, Custodian and any Employer who is
party to this Agreement.
(b) No amendment to this Agreement shall cause or permit:
(i) any part of the assets of the Account to be used for, or diverted
to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the
Employee or Beneficiary, except with regard to payment of the
expenses of the Custodian and the Company as authorized by the
provisions of this Agreement and except to the extent required
by law;
(ii) the Employee to be deprived of any accrued benefits under this
Agreement unless such amendment is required for the purpose of
conforming the Agreement to the requirements of any law,
government regulation or ruling; or
(iii) the imposition of any additional duties or obligations on the
Custodian without its consent.
9.2 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT: This Agreement shall terminate when all assets in
the Account have been distributed or otherwise transferred out of the Account.
Upon completion of such distribution, the Custodian shall be released from all
further liability with respect to all amounts so paid to the extent permitted
by applicable law.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARTICLE X LOANS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.1 LOANS MAY BE MADE TO EMPLOYEES ON THE FOLLOWING BASIS:
(a) Upon written application to the Custodian by an Employee, the
Custodian may make a loan to an Employee from his or her vested
Account balance. All loans shall be secured by 50% of the
Employee's vested Account balance. The minimum amount of a loan
shall be $1,000.
(b) In no event shall the total of any outstanding loan to any Employee
exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the nonforfeitable Account
balance, or such other amount as determined by the Custodian pursuant
to paragraph (g) of this Article X provided, however, that if this
Agreement is part of a plan subject to Title I of ERISA, in no event
shall the loan exceed the 50% limitation. An Employee may not
request more than one loan from an account.
(c) The loan shall bear a reasonable rate of interest as provided in the
Promissory Note incorporated herein by reference. The loan applicant
shall receive a clear statement of the charges involved in the
loan transaction. The statement shall include the dollar amount
financed, the total amount of payments, the annual
percentage rate and the finance charge. Interest payments on the loan
shall be credited to the Employee's Account.
(d) Loans shall be made available to all Employees on a reasonably
equivalent basis.
(e) Any such loan shall be repaid by the Employee over a specified period
of time, in the form and manner selected by the Employee in the Loan
Application to the Custodian. The loan repayment period shall not
extend beyond the first to occur of (i) the above specified period or
(ii) the Employee's Required Beginning Date for taking distributions
from the Account as defined in Article XI of this Agreement. Such
loan must be amortized in level monthly payments, over the term of
the loan. Any such loan shall be for a term of not more than five
years, except that such loan may be paid back over a period
of up to ten years if the loan is used to acquire any dwelling
unit which, within a reasonable time, is to be used as the principal
residence of the Employee. Full or partial payment of a loan shall be
permitted at any time without penalty. Principal payments made by the
Employee shall be reinvested at net asset value; interest payments
are reinvested at the lowest possible offering price.
(f) If a scheduled payment of both principal and interest is not received
by the Custodian within ninety days of the due date, the Custodian
shall declare the loan in default. Late payment notices may be issued
by the Custodian within thirty days of the loan repayment due date.
Neither the mailing by the Custodian nor the receipt by the Employee
of a late payment notice shall be deemed to be a condition precedent
to the loan being declared in default. Such default may result in the
reclassification of the outstanding loan balance as a taxable
distribution which must be reported as such by the Custodian to the
Internal Revenue Service. In the event the Employee does not repay
all or any portion of the principal amount on such loan within the
time prescribed, he or she shall continue to be liable for any
balance on the loan not paid, in addition to interest which will
continue to accrue on the unpaid balance.
(g) With the consent of the Sponsor, the Custodian shall prescribe such
rules, as from time to time it deems necessary, in order to
administer the provisions of this Article X. With the consent of the
Sponsor, the Custodian may also impose additional terms and
conditions in connection with the making of any loan which shall be
as provided in the Employee's promissory note, incorporated herein by
reference, including but not limited to the requirement that an
Employee maintain a minimum Account balance before becoming eligible
for a loan, and that an Employee agrees to a loan service fee to be
charged directly against his or her Account.

ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.1 RETIREMENT PLAN PROVISIONS SHALL CONTROL: In the event contributions are
being made to the Account pursuant to any retirement plan or program sponsored
by the Employer, to the extent any provisions of this Agreement are
inconsistent with such retirement plan or program, the provisions of the
Employer's retirement plan or program shall control, provided:
(a) such provisions are not contrary to the rules and regulations under
Section 403(b)(7) of the Code; and
(b) such provisions do not impose any additional responsibilities or
duties on the Custodian without its prior consent. The Employer shall
be responsible for delivering the most recent copy of any such
retirement plan or program to the Custodian.
11.2 ERISA REQUIREMENTS: If this Agreement is determined to constitute part of
an "Employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Employer subject to
Title I of ERISA, then the Employer shall be solely responsible for assuring
such Employee benefit plan complies at all times with the requirements of Title
I of ERISA.
11.3 EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT: The assets of the Account shall not be used for, or
diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Employee or
his or her Beneficiary. The assets of the Account shall not be subject to the
claims of the creditors of the Employee.
11.4 NONFORFEITABILITY AND NONTRANSFERABILITY: The interest of the Employee in
the balance of the Account shall at all times be nonforfeitable and
nontransferable. All rights under this Agreement are enforceable solely by the
Employee or his or her Beneficiary, or any duly authorized representative of
the Employee or Beneficiary.
11.5 NONALIENATION: The assets of the Account shall not be subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either
voluntary or involuntary, except with regard to payment of expenses of the
Custodian as authorized by the provisions of the Agreement and except to the
extent required by law.
11.6 NOTICES: Any notice, accounting, or other communication which the
Custodian may give to the Employer or the Employee, shall be deemed given when
mailed to the Employee at the latest address which has been furnished to the
Custodian. Any notice or other communication which the Employer or Employee may
give to the Custodian shall not become effective until actual receipt of said
notice by the Custodian.
11.7 APPLICABLE LAW: This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of Missouri, to the extent not preempted by Federal
Law. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to conflict with any
provision of an Internal Revenue Service regulation, ruling, release, or other
order which affects, or could affect, the terms of this Agreement or its
compliance with the requirements of Section 403(b)(7) of the Code.

/ / IMPORTANT NOTICE
These worksheets are intended to help you determine the maximum amount of
SALARY REDUCTION CONTRIBUTIONS that may be made to your 403(b) plan and should
be used only if no other types of contributions are made by your employer to
your 403(b) plan or other tax-favored retirement plan on your behalf and if you
make no salary reduction contributions to any other plan. You are responsible
for determining the maximum amount you can contribute to your 403(b) plan and
exclude from gross income. When determining your maximum salary reduction and
exclusion allowance and for more information, you should refer to IRS
Publication 571, TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITY PROGRAMS FOR EMPLOYEES OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS

SECTION 403(B)(7) CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT
WORKSHEET #2
SPECIAL RULES
/ / ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS AVAILABLE ONLY TO CERTAIN EMPLOYEES
If you are an employee of an educational organization, hospital, home
health service agency, health and welfare service agency, church, or convention
or association of churches, you may be permitted to make salary reduction
contributions in excess of Limitation A, Limitation B or Limitation C
calculated on Worksheet #1. (Additional rules not covered by this Worksheet
also apply to certain employees of churches and conventions and associations of
churches.) For more information, you should refer to IRS Publication 571,
TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITY PROGRAMS FOR EMPLOYEES OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TAX-EXEMPT
ORGANIZATIONS, AND CONSULT A TAX ADVISER.
/ / LIMITATION A
If you are an employee of one of the organizations listed above, and you
have COMPLETED AT LEAST 15 YEARS OF SERVICE with the organization, you may make
additional salary reduction contributions each year above the $9,500 limit in
an amount equal to the LEAST of the following:
(1) $3,000
(2) $15,000, reduced by the amount of any additional salary
reduction contributions you made for prior years to your 403(b) plan
under this special rule; or
(3) the excess of $5,000, multiplied by the number of your total
years of service with the organization, over the total amount of your
salary reduction contributions for prior years.
If you qualify for this special rule, enter $9,500 PLUS the lesser of line
(1), (2), or (3) in Line (A) of the Summary on Worksheet #1.
/ / LIMITATION B AND C
If you are an employee of one of the organizations listed above, you may
be eligible to make one of three special elections.
I. SPECIAL ELECTION I
This election may be made only for the year you separate from service with
your employer. Under Special Election I, the maximum amount of contributions
that may be made to your 403(b) plan for that year will be the lesser of:
(1) $30,000; or
(2) your exclusion allowance limitation for the year, using the
"official calculation" from Worksheet #1, taking into account,
however, only your years of service and the prior contributions by
your employer on your behalf during the 10-YEAR PERIOD PRECEDING YOUR
SEPARATION FROM SERVICE.
II. SPECIAL ELECTION II
This election may be made for any year. Under Special Election II, the
maximum amount of contributions that may be made to your 403(b) plan will be
the LEAST of:
(1) 25% of your "includable compensation" for your most recent year
of service with your employer (i.e., Worksheet #1, limitation (B),
line (4)) plus $4,000;
(2) your exclusion allowance limitation for the year; or
(3) $15,000
III. SPECIAL ELECTION III
This election may be made for any year. Under Special Election III, the
limitation on annual employer contributions - and NOT the exclusion allowance
limitation - will apply. Thus, the maximum amount of contributions that may be
made to your 403(b) plan will be the lesser of 25% of your taxable compensation
or $30,000.
If you elect Special Election I, Special Election II or Special Election
III, you may not elect any one of the other special elections in any future
year. Special Election I may be used only once in your lifetime. If you elect
Special Election I, Special Election II, or Special Election III, enter the
amount determined under the Special Election on lines (B) and (C) of the
Summary on Worksheet #1.
