16. ARTICLE III – Section 3.2 shall be further amended by adding the following new subsection (e) to the end thereof to read as follows:
| (e) | Effective January 1, 2009, the percentage of Elective Contributions made on behalf of a Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee shall be limited so that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of such Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year does not exceed the greater of: |
| (i) | the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or |
| (ii) | the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year multiplied by two (2), provided, that the difference in the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for eligible Highly Compensated Employees and eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed two percent (2%). |
The preceding Plan Year testing method can only be modified if the Plan meets the requirements for changing to current Plan Year testing as set forth in Code Section 401(k) and final Regulations under Section 1.401(k)-2, or any successor future guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
The above subsections (i) and (ii) shall be subject to the distribution provisions of the last paragraph of Section 3.11(f).
The amount of excess Elective Contributions attributable to a given Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is the amount, if any, by which the Highly Compensated Employee’s Elective Contributions taken into account under this Section 3.2(e) must be reduced for the Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Deferral Ratio to equal the highest permitted Actual Deferral Ratio under the Plan. To calculate the highest permitted Actual Deferral Ratio, the Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Ratio is reduced by the amount required to cause the Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Deferral Ratio to equal the Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Ratio. If a lesser reduction would satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage test, only this lesser reduction is used in determining the highest permitted Actual Deferral Ratio.
The process described in the preceding paragraph must be repeated until the Actual Deferral Percentage test is satisfied. The sum of all reductions for all Highly Compensated Employees determined under the preceding paragraph is the total amount of excess Elective Contributions for the Plan Year.
For purposes of this Section 3.2(e), the Actual Deferral Ratio of an eligible Employee for a Plan Year is the sum of the Employee’s Elective Contributions taken into account for such year, and the Special Contributions taken into account for such year, divided by the Employee’s Compensation taken into account for such year. For purposes of this Section 3.2(e), Compensation means compensation as defined under Regulations Section 1.414(s)-1(c)(2) and (4), including the Employee’s wages, salary, fees for professional services and other amounts received for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Employer to the extent that such amounts are includible in gross income, (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, 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, but excluding contributions made by the Employer to any other pension, deferred compensation, welfare or other employee benefit plan, amounts realized from the exercise of a nonqualified stock option or the sale of a qualified stock option, and other amounts which receive special tax benefits. If no Elective Contributions or Special Contributions are taken into account for the eligible Employee for the Plan Year, the eligible Employee’s Actual Deferral Ratio is equal to zero (0).
If Elective Contributions made on behalf of a Participant during any Plan Year exceed the maximum amount applicable to a Participant as set forth above, any such contributions, including any earnings thereon as determined under Section 3.8, shall be characterized as Compensation payable to the Participant and shall be paid to the Participant from his Before-Tax Contribution Account and/or Roth contribution Account, as applicable, no later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the close of such Plan Year. Distribution of excess Elective Contributions for a year shall be made to the Participant first from his Before-Tax Contribution Account, then from his Roth Contribution Account, or a combination of both his Before-Tax Contribution Account and Roth Contribution Account, unless the Participant specifies otherwise.
Excess Elective Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss up to the date of distribution. The income or loss allocable to excess Elective Contributions is the sum of: (i) income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Before-Tax Contribution Account and/or Roth Contribution Account, if implemented, for the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant’s excess Elective Contributions for the year and the denominator is the Participant’s Account balance attributable to Elective Contributions without regard to any income or loss occurring during such taxable year; and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the amount determined under subsection (i) 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.
The amount of excess Elective Contributions to be distributed or recharacterized shall be reduced by excess Elective Contributions previously distributed for the taxable year ending in the same Plan Year and excess Elective Contributions to be distributed for a taxable year shall be reduced by excess Elective Contributions previously distributed or recharacterized for the Plan Year beginning in such taxable year.
In the event that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(k), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with the Plan, then this Section 3.2(e) shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentages of Eligible Employees as if all such plans were a single plan.
If any Highly Compensated Employee is a Participant in two (2) or more cash or deferred arrangements of the Employer, for purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage with respect to such Highly Compensated Employee, all cash or deferred arrangements shall be treated as one (1) cash or deferred arrangement.
If applicable, in the event the Plan is disaggregated into separate plans under the rules of Section 410(b) of the Code, then each separate plan can apply a different testing method.
If applicable, additional Elective Contributions that are made by reason of a Participant’s qualified military service pursuant to Section 414(u) of the Code, shall not be taken into account under the Actual Deferral Percentage test.
If applicable, Special Contributions may be taken into account in determining the Actual Deferral Ratio for an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year, but only to the extent such Special Contributions satisfy the requirements set forth in Sections 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the Treasury regulations.

18. ARTICLE III – Section 3.3 shall be amended by adding the following new paragraphs to the end thereof to read as follows:
Effective January 1, 2009, unless (a) an election is made to the contrary, or (b) a Participant receives a Hardship distribution pursuant to Section 7.3(c)(iii), the percentage of Elective Contributions made under the third paragraph of Section 3.1 shall continue in effect as long as the Participant has a Compensation Reduction Agreement in force. A Participant who has a Compensation Reduction Agreement in force may, by completing the applicable form (including an electronic version), prospectively increase or decrease the rate of Elective Contributions to any of the percentages authorized under the third paragraph of Section 3.1 or suspend Elective Contributions without withdrawing from participation in the Plan. Such election must be filed at least ten (10) days prior to the first day of the payroll period with respect to which such change is to become effective. A Participant who has Elective Contributions suspended may resume such contributions by completing and filing the applicable form (including an electronic version). An election may be made at any time which would prospectively increase, decrease, suspend or resume Elective Contributions of a Participant. A Participant may terminate his Elective Contributions at any time.
Elective Contributions based on Compensation for the period during which such contributions had been suspended or decreased may not be made up at a later date.
