414(h)(2), 457(b), or, effective January 1, 2001,
132(f)(4) of the Code. Unless the Employer elects

exclude overtime compensation and bonuses..
(b) Limitation on Earnings. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

January 1, 1989, and before January 1, 1994, the
annual Earnings of each Participant taken into account
for determining all benefits provided under the Plan for
any Plan Year shall not exceed $200,000. This
limitation shall be adjusted by the Secretary of the

under section 415(d) of the Code, except that the dollar
increase in effect on January 1 of any calendar year is
effective for Plan Years beginning in such calendar year
and the first adjustment to the $200,000 limitation is

account for determining all benefits provided under the
Plan for any Plan Year shall not exceed $150,000, as
adjusted for increases in the cost -of -living in accordance
with section 401 (a)(1 7)(B) of the Code. The cost -of -
living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to
any determination period beginning in such calendar
year.
If a determination period consists of fewer than twelve
(12) months, the annual Earnings limit is an amount
equal to the otherwise applicable annual Earnings limit
multiplied by the fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of months in the short Plan Year and the
denominator of which is twelve (12).
If Earnings for any prior determination period are taken
into account in determining a Participant's allocations or
benefits for the current Plan Year, the Earnings for such
prior year are subject to the applicable annual Earnings
limit in effect for that prior year. For this purpose, for
years beginning on or. after January 1, 1989, the
applicable annual Earnings limit is $200,000. In
addition, in determining allocations in Plan Years
beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the annual

eligible participant in a governmental plan (within the
meaning of section 414(d) of the Code), the dollar
limitation shall not apply to the extent the Earnings which
are allowed to be taken into account under the Plan
would be reduced below the amount which was allowed
to be taken into account under the Plan as in effect on

reclassified by a court of law or regulatory body as a common law

•
payable on account of the Employee's separation from
service, death, disability or after the Employee attains
age fifty-nine and one-half (59-1/2); and the form and

this Plan becoming a direct or indirect transferee of a
defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, a target
benefit plan, stock bonus, or profit-sharing plan which is
subject to the survivor annuity requirements of sections

Employer because of a mistake of fact must be returned to the
Employer within one year of the date of contribution.

contrary herein, no Participant shall be permitted to have Elective
Deferrals under this Plan, or Elective Deferrals under any other
qualified plan maintained by the Employer, during any taxable year, in
excess of the dollar limitation contained in section 402(g) of the Code

Deferrals made during a taxable year of the Participant by
providing the Plan Administrator with written notice on or before
March 1 of the amount of 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 Deferrals made to this
Plan and any other plans of this Employer.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Excess
Elective Deferrals, plus any income and minus any loss allocable
thereto, .shall be distributed no later than April 15 to any
Participant whose Excess Elective Deferrals were assigned for

• i
the preceding year and who claims Excess Elective Deferrals for
• such taxable year.
Participants who claim Excess Elective Deferrals for the
preceding taxable year must submit their claims in writing to the
Plan Administrator on or before March 1.
(b) Excess Elective Deferrals shall be adjusted for any income or
loss up to the date of the distribution. The income or loss
allocable to Excess Elective Deferrals is the sum of: (1).income
or loss allocable to the Participant's Elective Deferral Account for
the Taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is such Participant's Account balance attributable to Elective
Deferrals without regard to any income or loss occurring during
such taxable year; and (2) ten percent (10%) of the amount
determined under (1) multiplied by the number of whole calendar
months between the end of the Participant's taxable year and
the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if
distribution occurs after the fifteenth (15th) of such month.
5.03 Limitation on Annual Additions - Participants Only in This Plan.
(a) If the Participant does not participate in, and has never
participated in another qualified plan or a welfare benefit fund,
• as defined in section 419(e) of the Code, maintained by the
Employer, or an individual medical account, as defined by
section 415(I)(2) of the Code, maintained by the Employer,
which provides an Annual Addition, the amount of Annual
Additions which may be credited to the Participant's Account
for any Limitation Year will not exceed the lesser of the
Maximum Permissible Amount 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 Permissible Amount, the amount contributed or
allocated will be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount.
•
PSP 01/01/02
(b) Prior to determining the Participant's actual Compensation for
the Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the Maximum
Permissible Amount for a Participant on the basis of a
reasonable estimation of the Participant's Compensation for
the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all Participants
similarly situated.

•
•
(c) As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
Limitation Year, the Maximum Permissible Amount for the
Limitation Year will be determined on the basis of the Particle
pant's actual Compensation for the Limitation Year.
(d) If; as a result of an inadvertent reasonable error in estimating
the Maximum Permissible Amount for a Participant in
accordance with Subsection (b) or pursuant to Subsection (c)
or as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, there is an Excess
Amount, the excess will be disposed of as follows:
(1) Any Voluntary Participant Contributions, to the extent
they would reduce the Excess Amount, will be returned
to the Participant;
(2) Any Elective Deferrals, to the extent they would reduce
the Excess Amount, will be returned to the Participant;
(3) Subsection (2) notwithstanding, if the Plan is one in
which there are matching Employer Contributions
pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Plan, any Matched
Participant Contributions or Elective Deferrals and
Employer Contributions, to the extent they would reduce
• the Excess Amount, will be removed from the
Participant's Account in the ratio that the Matched
Participant Contributions or Elective Deferrals bear to
the Employer Contributions. The pro rata amount of the
Excess Amount attributable to Matched Participant
Contributions or Elective Deferrals will be returned to the
Participant. The pro rata amount of the Excess Amount
attributable to Employer Contributions will be allocated
in the same manner that Excess Amounts are allocated
under Subsections (4) and (5);
(4) If after the application of paragraphs (1), (2) or (3) an
Excess Amount still exists, and the Participant is
covered by the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year,
the Excess Amount in the Participant's Account will be
used to reduce Employer Contributions (including any
allocation of forfeitures) for such Participant in the next
Limitation Year, and each succeeding Limitation Year if
necessary;
(5) If after the application of paragraphs (1), (2) or (3) an
Excess Amount still exists, and the Participant is not
• covered by the Plan at the end of the Limitation Year,
PSP 01/01/02
S12®PW/CRA
®Wa/CR,
03- OVS
the Excess Amount will be held unallocated in a
' suspense account. The suspense account will be
applied to reduce future Employer Contributions
(including allocation of any forfeitures) for all remaining
Participants in the next Limitation Year, and each suc-
ceeding Limitation Year if necessary;
(6) If a suspense account is in existence at any time during
a particular Limitation Year, all amounts in the suspense
account must be allocated and reallocated to
Participants' accounts before any Employer or any
Employee contributions may be made to the Plan for
that Limitation Year. Excess Amounts in a suspense
account may not be distributed to Participants or former
Participants.
5.04 Limitation on Annual Additions - Participants in Another Defined
Contribution Plan.
(a) Unless the Employer provides other limitations in the Adoption
Agreement, this Section applies if; in addition to this Plan, the
Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribu-
tion Plan maintained by the Employer, or a welfare benefit
. fund, as defined in section 419(e) of the Code, maintained by
the Employer, or an individual medical account, as defined by
section 415(I)(2) of the Code, maintained by the Employer,
which provides an Annual Addition, during any Limitation Year.
The Annual Additions which may be credited to a Participant's
Account under this Plan for any such Limitation Year will not
exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount reduced by the
Annual Additions credited to a Participant's Account under the
other plans and welfare benefit funds for the same Limitation
Year. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant
under other defined contribution plans and welfare benefit
funds maintained by the Employer are less than the Maximum
Permissible Amount 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 Permissible Amount. If the Annual
Additions with respect to the Participant under such other
defined contribution plans and welfare benefit funds in the
aggregate are equal to or greater than the Maximum Per-
• missible Amount, no amount will be contributed or allocated to
PSP 01/01/02 14

the Participant's Account under this Plan for the Limitation
Year.
(b) Prior to determining the Participant's actual Compensation for
the Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the Maximum
Permissible Amount for a Participant in the manner described
in Section 5.03(b).
(c) As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
Limitation Year, the Maximum Permissible Amount for the
Limitation Year will be determined on the basis of the Partici-
pant's actual Compensation for the Limitation Year.
(d) If, pursuant to Subsection (c) or as a result of the allocation of
forfeitures, a Participant's Annual Additions under this Plan and
such other plans would result in an Excess Amount for a Limi-
tation Year, the Excess Amount will be deemed to consist of
the Annual Additions last allocated; except that Annual
Additions attributable to a welfare benefit fund or individual
medical account will be deemed to have been allocated first
regardless of the actual allocation date.
(e) If an Excess Amount was allocated to a Participant on an
. allocation date of this Plan which coincides with an allocation
date of another plan, the Excess Amount attributed to this Plan
will be the product of,
(1) The total Excess Amount allocated as of such date,
multiplied by
(2) The ratio of (i) the Annual Additions allocated to the
Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date under
this Plan to (ii) the total Annual Additions allocated to the
Participant for the Limitation Year as of such date under
this and all the other qualified Regional Prototype
defined contribution plans.
(f) Any Excess Amount attributed to this Plan will be disposed in
the manner described in Section 5.03(d).

for all Participants and for all corrective distributions under the
Plan for the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating
income to Participants' Accounts.
(g) Excess Elective Deferrals: Those Elective Deferrals that are

times nonforfeitable by the Participant. A Participant shall have a
Nonforfeitable Interest in the percentage of his/her Employer
Contribution Account established under Section 4.01 determined
pursuant to the schedule elected by the Employer in the Adoption
Agreement.
7.02 Crediting Periods of Service. Except as provided in Section 7.03, all
of an Employee's Periods of Service with the Employer are counted
to determine the nonforfeitable percentage in the Employee's Ac-
count balance derived from Employer Contributions. If the Employer
maintains the plan of a predecessor employer, service with such
employer will be treated as service for the Employer.
For purposes of determining years of service and Breaks in Service
for the purposes of computing a Participant's nonforfeitable right to
the Account balance derived from Employer Contributions, the
twelve (12) consecutive month period will commence on the date the
Employee first performs an hour of service and each subsequent
twelve (12) consecutive month period will commence on the
anniversary of such date.
7.03 Service After Break in Service. In the case of a Participant who has
a Break in Service of at least five (5) years, all Periods of Service
after such Breaks in Service will be disregarded for the purpose of
determining the nonforfeitable percentage of the Employer -derived
Account balance that accrued before such Break, but both pre -Break
and post -Break service will count for the purposes of vesting the
Employer -derived Account balance that accrues after such Break.
Both Accounts will share in the earnings and losses of the fund.
PSP 01/01/02
In the case of a Participant who does not have a Break in Service of
at least five (5) years, both the pre -Break and post -Break service will
count in vesting both the pre -Break and post -Break
Employer -derived Account balance.
In the case of a Participant who does not have any nonforfeitable
right to the Account balance derived from Employer Contributions,
years of service before a period of consecutive one (1) year Breaks
in Service will not be taken into account in computing eligibility
service if the number of consecutive one (1) year Breaks in Service

in such period equals or exceeds the greater of five (5) or the
aggregate number of years of service. Such aggregate number of
years of service will not include any years of service disregarded
under the preceding sentence by reason of prior Breaks in Service.
If a Participant's years of service are disregarded pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, such Participant will be treated as a new
Employee for eligibility purposes. If a Participant's years of service
may not be disregarded pursuant to the preceding paragraph, such
Participant shall continue to participate in the Plan, or, if terminated,
shall participate immediately upon reemployment.
7.04 Vesting Upon Normal Retirement Age. Notwithstanding Section
7.01 of the Plan, a Participant shall have a Nonforfeitable Interest in
his/her entire Employer Contribution Account, to the extent that the
balance of such Account has not previously been forfeited pursuant

Normal Retirement Age.
7.05 Vesting Upon Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Section 7.01 of
the Plan, in the event of Disability or death, a Participant or his/her
Beneficiary shall have a Nonforfeitable Interest in his/her entire
Employer Contribution Account, to the extent that the balance of
such Account has not previously been forfeited pursuant to Section
7.06 of the Plan.
7.06 Forfeitures. Except as provided in Sections 7.04 and 7.05 of the
Plan or as otherwise provided in this Section 7.06, a Participant who
separates from service prior to obtaining full vesting shall forfeit that
percentage of his/her Employer Contribution Account balance which
has not vested as of the date such Participant incurs a Break in
Service of five (5) consecutive years or, if earlier, the date such
Participant receives, or is deemed under the provisions of Section
9.04 to have received, distribution of the entire Nonforfeitable
Interest in his/her Employer Contribution Account. If a Participant
receives a voluntary distribution of less than the entire vested portion
of his/her Employer Contribution Account, the part of the nonvested
portion that will be treated as a forfeiture is the total nonvested
portion multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount
of the distribution attributable to Employer Contributions and the
denominator of which is the total value of the vested Employer
Contribution Account.
PSP 01/01/02
No forfeiture will occur solely as a result of a Participant's withdrawal
of Employee Contributions.

distributed to such Participant from his/her Employer Contribution
Account; provided, however, that if such Participant forfeited his/her.

the Participant incurs a Break in Service of five (5) consecutive
years.

defer any distribution until the Participant's Account balance is no
longer immediately distributable. Such notification shall include a

at least thirty (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

Balance will be paid to the Participant's Surviving Spouse. If

be effective unless: (a) the Participant's Spouse consents in
writing to the election; (b) the election designates a specific
Beneficiary, including any class of Beneficiaries or any
contingent Beneficiaries, which may not be changed without
spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits designations
by the Participant without any further spousal consent); (c) the
Spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of the election; and
(d) the Spouse's consent is witnessed by a Plan representative
or notary public. If it is established to the satisfaction of a Plan
representative that there is no Spouse or that the Spouse
cannot be located, a waiver will be deemed to meet the
requirements of this Section.
Any consent by a Spouse obtained under this provision (or
establishment that the consent of a Spouse may not be .
obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse.
A consent that permits designations by the Participant without
any requirement of further consent by such Spouse must
acknowledge that the Spouse has the right to limit consent to a
specific Beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where
applicable, and that the Spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish
either or both of such rights. A revocation of a prior waiver may
be made by a Participant without the consent of the Spouse at
any time before the commencement of benefits. The number
of revocations shall not be limited.

either:
(a) Filing an amended Adoption Agreement to change, delete; or
add any optional provision, or
(b) Continuing the Plan in the form of an amended and restated
Plan and Trust.
No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has
the effect of decreasing a Participant's accrued benefit. Not
withstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant's Account bal-
ance may be reduced to the extent permitted under section 412(c)(8)
of the Code. For purposes of this paragraph, a Plan amendment
which has the effect of decreasing a Participant's Account balance
or eliminating an optional form of benefit, with respect to benefits
attributable to service before the amendment shall be treated as
reducing an accrued benefit. Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of

Participant as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted or
the date it becomes effective, the nonforfeitable percentage
(determined as of such date) of such Employee's right to his/her
Employer -derived accrued benefit will not be less than his
percentage computed under the plan without regard to such
amendment.
The Employer may (1) change the choice of options in the Adoption
Agreement, (2) add overriding language in the Adoption Agreement
when such language is necessary to satisfy sections 415 or 416 of
the Code because of the required aggregation of multiple plans, and
(3) add certain model amendments published by the Internal
Revenue Service.
14.02 Amendment of Vesting Schedule. If the Plan's vesting schedule is
amended, or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or
indirectly affects the computation of the Participant's nonforfeitable
percentage, each Participant may elect, within a reasonable period
after the adoption of the amendment or change, to have the
nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard
to such amendment or change.

The period during which the election may be made shall commence
with the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made and
shall end on the latest of:
(a) Sixty (60) days after the amendment is adopted;
(b) Sixty (60) days after the amendment becomes effective; or
(c) Sixty (60) days after the Participant is issued written notice of

except as provided in this Section.
Upon Plan termination or partial termination, all Account balances
shall be valued at their fair market value and the Participant's right to
his/her Employer Contribution Account shall be one hundred percent
(100%) vested and nonforfeitable. Such amount and any other
amounts held in the Participant's other Accounts shall be maintained
• for the Participant until paid pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
Any amounts held in a suspense account, after all liabilities of the
Plan to Participants and Beneficiaries have been satisfied or
provided for, shall be paid to the Employer in accordance with the
Code and regulations thereunder.
CJ
In the event that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue determines
that the Plan is not initially qualified under the Internal Revenue
Code, any contribution made by the Employer incident to that initial
qualification must be returned to the Employer within one year after
the date the initial qualification is denied, but only if the application
for the qualification is made by the time prescribed by law for filing
the Employer's return for the year in which the Plan is adopted, or
such later date as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe.
14.04 Discontinuance of Contributions. A permanent discontinuance of
contributions to the Plan by the Employer, unless an amended and
restated Plan is established, shall constitute a Plan termination. In
the event of a complete discontinuance of contributions under the
Plan, the Account balance of each affected Participant shall be
nonforfeitable.
