If the Employer wants the discretion to determine whether the provisions will apply on a year‑by‑year basis, then the Employer may select 27.a. or b. and 27.d.3.

ADP and ACP test safe harbor. For any Plan Year in which any type of matching contribution is made, will the "ADP and ACP test safe harbor" provisions be used?

a.[X]No. Only the "ADP (and NOT the ACP) test safe harbor" provisions will be used.

[ ]Yes. Both the "ADP and ACP test safe harbor" provisions will be used for any Plan Year in which any type of matching contribution is made. (If selected, complete the provisions of the Adoption Agreement relating to Employer matching contributions (i.e., Question 28) that will apply in addition to any selections made in c. below. Also, no allocation conditions may be imposed at 28.E. unless no HCEs are eligible to receive the matching contribution)

Safe harbor contribution. The Employer will make the following "ADP test safe harbor contribution" for the Plan Year:

NOTE:

The "ACP test safe harbor" is automatically satisfied if the only matching contribution made to the Plan is either, as described below, (1) a basic matching contribution (traditional or QACA) or (2) an enhanced matching contribution (traditional or QACA) that does not provide a match on Elective Deferrals in excess of 6% of Compensation.

[ ]Safe harbor matching contribution (select one of 1. ‑ 4. AND one of 5. ‑ 9.). The Employer will make matching "ADP test safe harbor contributions" to the Account of each "eligible Participant" as elected below.

[ ]Traditional basic matching contribution (may not be selected if a QACA). The Employer will contribute an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the amount of the Participant's Elective Deferrals that do not exceed 3% of the Participant's Compensation, plus 50% of the amount of the Participant's Elective Deferrals that exceed 3% of the Participant's Compensation but do not exceed 5% of the Participant's Compensation.

[ ]Traditional enhanced matching contribution (may not be selected if a QACA). The Employer will contribute an amount equal to the sum of:

[ ] % (may not be less than 100%) of the Participant's Elective Deferrals that do not exceed

% (may not be less than 3%; if over 6% or if left blank, the ACP test will still apply) of the Participant's Compensation, plus

[ ] % of the Participant's Elective Deferrals that exceed % (must be the same % entered at a.) of the Participant's Compensation but do not exceed % (if over 6% or if left blank, the ACP test will still apply) of the Participant's Compensation, plus

[ ] % of the Participant's Elective Deferrals that exceed % (must be the same % entered at b.) of the Participant's Compensation but do not exceed % (if over 6% or if left blank, the ACP test will still apply) of the Participant's Compensation.

NOTE:

a., b. and c. must be completed so that, at any rate of Elective Deferrals, the matching contribution is at least equal to what the matching contribution would be if the Employer were making basic matching contributions (as defined in 27.c.1. above), but the rate of match cannot increase as Elective Deferrals increase. For example, if a. is completed to provide a matching contribution equal to 100% of Elective Deferrals up to 4% of Compensation, then b. and c. need not be completed.

[ ]QACA basic matching contribution. The Employer will contribute an amount equal to the sum of 100% of a Participant's Elective Deferrals that do not exceed 1% of Participant's Compensation, plus 50% of the Participant's Elective Deferrals that exceed 1% of the Participant's Compensation but do not exceed 6% of the Participant's Compensation.

[ ]QACA enhanced matching contribution. The Employer will contribute an amount equal to the sum of:

[ ] % (may not be less than 100%) of the Participant's Elective Deferrals that do not exceed

% (may not be less than 1%; if over 6% or if left blank, the ACP test will still apply) of the Participant's Compensation, plus

NOTE:

a., b. and c. must be completed so that, at any rate of Elective Deferrals, the matching contribution is at least equal to what the matching contribution would be if the Employer were making QACA basic matching contributions (as defined in 27.c.3. above), but the rate of match cannot increase as Elective Deferrals increase. For example, if a. is completed to provide a matching contribution equal to 100% of Elective Deferrals up to 4% of Compensation, then b. and c. need not be completed.

Determination period. The matching "ADP test safe harbor contribution" above will be applied on the following basis (and Elective Deferrals and any Compensation or dollar limitation used in determining the matching contribution will be based on the applicable period):

[ ]the Plan Year

[ ]each payroll period

[ ]each month

[ ]each Plan Year quarter

[ ]each payroll unit (e.g., hour)

[X]Safe harbor nonelective contributions (select one)

[X]3% contribution. The Employer will make a nonelective "ADP test safe harbor contribution" for the Plan Year to the Account of each "eligible Participant" in an amount equal to 3% of each Participant's Compensation.

[ ]Stated contribution. The Employer will make a nonelective "ADP test safe harbor contribution" to the Account of each "eligible Participant" in an amount equal to % (may not be less than 3%) of each Participant's Compensation.

[ ]"Maybe" election. The Employer may elect to make a nonelective "ADP test safe harbor contribution" after a Plan Year has commenced in accordance with the provisions of Plan Section 12.8(h). If this option d.3. is selected, the nonelective "ADP test safe harbor contribution" will be required only for a Plan Year for which the Plan is amended to provide for such contribution and the appropriate supplemental notice is provided to Participants.

[ ]Safe harbor contribution to another Plan. The Employer will make a nonelective or matching "ADP test safe harbor contribution" to another defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer (specify the name of the other plan):

Excluded Participants. For purposes of the "ADP test safe harbor contribution," the term "eligible Participant" means any Participant who is eligible to make Elective Deferrals unless otherwise excluded below (leave blank if no exclusions):

[ ]Exclusions (select one or more):

[ ]Highly Compensated Employees (HCEs). The Employer may, however, make a discretionary "ADP test safe harbor contribution" for the HCEs in a percentage that does not exceed the amount (or in the case of a matching "ADP test safe harbor contribution," the rate) provided to the NHCEs.

[ ]Employees who have not satisfied the greatest minimum age and service conditions permitted under Code §410(a) (i.e., age 21 and 1 Year of Service), with the following deemed effective date of participation:

[ ]the earlier of the first day of the first month or the first day of the seventh month of the Plan Year immediately following the date such conditions are satisfied

[ ]the first day of the Plan Year in which the requirements are met

[ ]other: (not later than the earlier of (a) 6 months after such requirements are satisfied, or (b) the first day of the first Plan Year after such requirements are satisfied)

The Employer will make a "prevailing wage contribution" on behalf of each Participant who performs services subject to the Service Contract Act, ▇▇▇▇▇‑▇▇▇▇▇ Act or similar federal, state, or municipal prevailing wage statutes. The "prevailing wage contribution" will be an amount equal to the remaining balance of the prevailing wage defined bona‑fide fringe benefit amount, based on the Participant's employment classification as designated on the appropriate prevailing wage determination, after the application of other prevailing wage defined bona‑fide fringe payments. Specify the "prevailing wage contribution" by attaching an appendix to the Adoption Agreement that indicates the contribution rate(s) applicable to the prevailing wage employment/job classification(s). The "prevailing wage contribution" will not be subject to any age or service requirements set forth in Question 14, entry date provisions at Question 15, nor to any service or employment conditions set forth in Question 30 and will be 100% Vested.

[ ] point(s) will be allocated for each Year of Service (or Period of Service).

However, the maximum Years (or Periods if elapsed time method is selected) of Service taken into account will not exceed:

[ ] (leave blank if no limit on service applies).

Year of Service (or Period of Service if applicable), means:

[ ]service for eligibility purposes

[ ]service for vesting purposes

[ ] point(s) will be allocated for each full $ (may not exceed $200) of Compensation

[ ] point(s) will be allocated for each year of age as of the last day of the Plan Year

5.4% if 3. is selected or if 2. or 4. above is more than 80% of the Taxable Wage Base.

h.[ ]NON‑SAFE HARBOR ALLOCATION METHODS

[ ]Grouping method. Pursuant to Plan Section 4.3(b)(3)(vi), the classifications are (select a. or b.):

[ ]Each Participant constitutes a separate classification.

[ ]Participants will be divided into the following classifications with the allocation methods indicated under each classification.

Definition of classifications. Define each classification and specify the method of allocating the contribution among members of each classification. Classifications specified below must be clearly defined in a manner that will not violate the definitely determinable allocation requirement of Regulation §1.401‑1(b)(1)(ii). The design of the groups cannot be such that the only NHCEs benefiting under the Plan are those with the lowest amount of Compensation and/or the shortest periods of service and who may represent the minimum number of these Employees necessary to satisfy coverage under Code §410(b).

Classification A will consist of

The allocation method will be:[ ] pro rata based on Compensation

[ ] equal dollar amounts (per capita)

Classification B will consist of

The allocation method will be:[ ] pro rata based on Compensation

[ ] equal dollar amounts (per capita)

Classification C will consist of

The allocation method will be:[ ] pro rata based on Compensation

[ ] equal dollar amounts (per capita)

Classification D will consist of

The allocation method will be:[ ] pro rata based on Compensation

[ ] equal dollar amounts (per capita)

Additional classifications: (specify the classifications and which of the above allocation methods (pro rata or per capita) will be used for each classification).

NOTE:

In the case of Self‑Employed Individuals (i.e., sole proprietors or partners), the requirements or Regulation §1.401(k)‑1(a)(6) continue to apply and the allocation method should not be such that a cash or deferred election is created for a Self‑Employed Individual as a result of application of the allocation method.

NOTE:

If more than four (4) classifications, the additional classifications and allocation methods may be attached as an addendum to the Adoption Agreement or may be entered under Additional Classifications above.

Determination of applicable group. If a Participant shifts from one classification to another during a Plan Year, then unless selected below, the Participant is in a classification based on the Participant's status as of the last day of the Plan Year, or if earlier, the date of termination of employment. If selected below, the Administrator will apportion the Participant's allocation during a Plan Year based on the following:

[ ]Beginning of Plan Year. The classification will be based on the Participant's status as of the beginning of the Plan Year.

[ ]Months in each classification. Pro rata based on the number of months the Participant spent in each classification.

[ ]Days in each classification. Pro rata based on the number of days the Participant spent in each classification.

[ ]One classification only. The Employer in a nondiscriminatory manner will direct the Administrator to place the Participant in only one classification for the entire Plan Year during which the shift occurs.

[ ]Age‑weighted method. The Schedule of Age‑Weighted Allocation Factors is set forth in attached Exhibit A (which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of the Plan) and will be based on the following interest rate (if no selection is made, c. will be deemed to have been selected):

[ ]7.5% interest

[ ]8.0% interest

[ ]8.5% interest

[ ]Other: (the formula described must satisfy the definitely determinable requirement under Reg. §1.401‑1(b). If the formula is non‑uniform, it is not a design‑based safe harbor for nondiscrimination purposes.)

30.	ALLOCATION CONDITIONS (Plan Section 12.3). Requirements to share in allocations of Employer Nonelective profit sharing contributions and QNECs (as permitted by Plan Section 12.1(a)(4)) (select a. OR b. and all that apply of c. ‑ f.) 30 p.2030

[ ]No conditions. All Participants share in the allocations regardless of service completed during the Plan Year or employment status on the last day of the Plan Year (skip to Question 31).

[ ]Allocation conditions apply (select one of 1. - 5. AND one of 6. - 9. below)

Conditions for Participants NOT employed on the last day of the Plan Year

[ ]A Participant must complete more than (not to exceed 500) Hours of Service (or (not to exceed 3) months of service if the elapsed time method is selected).

[ ]A Participant must complete a Year of Service (or Period of Service if the elapsed time method is selected). (could cause the Plan to violate coverage requirements under Code §410(b))

[ ]Participants will NOT share in the allocations, regardless of service. (could cause the Plan to violate coverage requirements under Code §410(b))

[ ]Participants will share in the allocations, regardless of service.

[ ]Other: (must be definitely determinable, not subject to Employer discretion and may not require more than one Year of Service (or Period of Service if the elapsed time method is selected)).

Conditions for Participants employed on the last day of the Plan Year (options 7., 8. and 9. could cause the Plan to violate coverage requirements under Code §410(b))

[ ]No service requirement.

[ ]A Participant must complete a Year of Service (or Period of Service if the elapsed time method is selected).

[ ]A Participant must complete at least (not to exceed 1,000) Hours of Service during the Plan Year.

[ ]Other: (must be definitely determinable, not subject to Employer discretion and may not require more than one Year of Service (or Period of Service if the elapsed time method is selected)).

Waiver of conditions for Participants NOT employed on the last day of the Plan Year. If b.1., 2., 3., or 5. is selected, Participants who are not employed on the last day of the Plan Year in which one of the following events occur will be eligible to share in the allocations regardless of the above conditions (select all that apply; leave blank if none apply):

[ ]Death

[ ]Total and Permanent Disability

[ ]Termination of employment on or after Normal Retirement Age

[ ]or Early Retirement Date

Code §410(b) fail‑safe. If b.2., 3., 5. and/or b.7., 8. or 9. is selected, the Code §410(b) ratio percentage fail‑safe provisions will NOT apply (Plan Section 4.3(m)) unless selected below (leave blank if not applicable or fail‑safe will not be used):

[ ]The Plan will use the Code §410(b) fail‑safe provisions and must satisfy the ratio percentage test of Code §410(b).

31.	FORFEITURES (Plan Sections 1.37 and 4.3(e)) 31 p.2131

Except as provided in Plan Section 1.37, a Forfeiture will occur:

[X]N/A (may only be selected if all contributions are fully Vested (default provisions at Plan Section 4.3(e) apply); skip to Question 32)

[ ]As of the earlier of (1) the last day of the Plan Year in which the former Participant incurs five (5) consecutive 1‑Year Breaks in Service, or (2) the distribution of the entire Vested portion of the Participant's Account.

[ ]As of the last day of the Plan Year in which the former Participant incurs five (5) consecutive 1‑Year Breaks in Service.

NOTE:

(1)Forfeitures are disposed of in accordance with Employer direction that is consistent with Section 4.3(e).

(2)

Effective for Plan Years beginning after the Plan Year in which this Plan document is adopted, Forfeitures may not be used to reduce Employer contributions which are required pursuant to the Code to be fully Vested when contributed to the Plan (such as QMACs, QNECs and "ADP test safe harbor contributions" other than QACA "ADP test safe harbor contributions"). The reallocation of Forfeitures could affect the Plan's top-heavy exemption (see Plan Section 12.8(f)). One approach to avoid this result is to provide for a discretionary matching contribution that satisfies the "ACP test safe harbor" provisions (i.e., select Question 27A.b. and select a discretionary matching contribution at Question 28) and then allocate Forfeitures as a matching contribution.

32.	ALLOCATION OF EARNINGS (Plan Section 4.3(c))

Allocation of earnings with respect to amounts which are not subject to Participant investment direction and which are contributed to the Plan after the previous Valuation Date will be determined:

[X]N/A. (all assets in the Plan are subject to Participant investment direction)

[ ]by using a weighted average based on the amount of time that has passed between the date a contribution or distribution is made and the prior Valuation Date

[ ]by treating one‑half of all such contributions as being a part of the Participant's nonsegregated Account balance as of the previous Valuation Date

[ ]by using the method specified in Plan Section 4.3(c) (balance forward method)

[ ]other: (must be a definite predetermined formula that is not based on Compensation, that satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements of Regulation §1.401(a)(4)‑4, and that is applied uniformly to all Participants)

33.	TOP‑HEAVY MINIMUM ALLOCATION

The minimum allocation requirements for any Top‑Heavy Plan Year will be applied only to Non‑Key Employee Participants unless selected below:

[ ]The Top‑Heavy minimum will be provided to both Key and Non‑Key Employee Participants.

DISTRIBUTIONS

34.	FORM OF DISTRIBUTIONS (Plan Sections 6.5 and 6.6) 34 p.2234

Distributions under the Plan may be made in (select all that apply; must select at least one from a. ‑ e. unless g. is selected below)

[ ]

[ ]other: (must be definitely determinable and not subject to Employer discretion)

NOTE:

Regardless of the above, a Participant is not required to request a withdrawal of his or her total Account for an in‑service distribution, a hardship distribution, or a distribution from the Participant's Rollover Account.

NOTE:

If this Plan includes transferred pension assets, f.1. or g. below must be selected.

[X]Annuities are not allowed or are not the normal form of distribution (except as indicated below). Plan Section 6.13(b) will apply and the joint and survivor rules of Code §§401(a)(11) and 417 will not apply to the Plan.

Special rules. An annuity form of distribution is available to certain Participants and/or with respect to only a portion of the Plan assets according to the following: (select all that apply)

[ ]Pension assets. Annuities are the normal form of distribution for assets that are transferred pension assets (Plan Section 6.13(a)).

[ ]Annuity selected by Participant. Plan Section 6.13(c) will apply and the joint and survivor rules of Code §§401(a)(11) and 417 will apply only if an annuity form of distribution is selected by a Participant.

However, the Participant may only select an annuity distribution according to the following:

[ ] (leave blank if no conditions apply).

[ ]Annuities are the normal form of distribution. The qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and Qualified Pre‑Retirement Survivor Annuity provisions apply (Plan Section 6.13 will not apply and the joint and survivor rules of Code §§401(a)(11) and 417 will automatically apply).

Pre‑Retirement Survivor Annuity

Use of Forfeitures

Other than Employer matching contributions. Forfeitures of amounts attributable to Employer contributions other than Employer matching contributions will be:

[ ]added to any Employer discretionary contribution (e.g., matching or profit sharing) and allocated in the same manner

[X]used to reduce any Employer contribution (other than contributions that must be fully Vested when contributed such as QNECs, QMACs and "ADP test safe harbor" contributions that are not made pursuant to a QACA) (see Note below)

[ ]added to any Employer matching contribution and allocated as an additional matching contribution

[ ]allocated to all Participants eligible to share in the allocations of profit sharing contributions or Forfeitures in the same proportion that each Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the Compensation of all Participants for such year

[ ]other: (describe the treatment of Forfeitures in a manner that is definitely determinable and not subject to Employer discretion; e.g., Forfeitures attributable to transferred balances from Plan X are allocated as additional discretionary contributions only to former Plan X Participants)

Matching contributions. Forfeitures of amounts attributable to Employer matching contributions will be:

[X]N/A (same as above or no Employer matching contributions)

[ ]used to reduce the Employer matching contribution (other than contributions that must be fully Vested when contributed such as QNECs, QMACs and "ADP test safe harbor" contributions that are not made pursuant to a QACA) (see Note below)

The reallocation of Forfeitures could affect the Plan's top-heavy exemption (see Plan Section 12.8(f)). One approach to avoid this result is to provide for a discretionary matching contribution that satisfies the "ACP test safe harbor" provisions (i.e., select Question 27A.b and select a discretionary matching contribution at Question 28) and then allocate Forfeitures as a matching contribution.
