The Plan Administrator shall separately account for those portions of such Participant Account attributable to Tax Reduction Contributions, Recharacterized Contributions, Profit-Sharing Contributions, rollovers and transfers. The plan Administrator shall make the allocations among such Participant accounts as set forth in this Article.

 

The Plan Administrator may, in accordance with Section 12.06, delegate its duties under this section to the Trustee.

 

6.02 Allocation of Tax Reduction Contributions: Tax Reduction Contributions shall be allocated among the accounts of Participants on whose behalf the Contributions are made.

 

6.03 Allocation of Profit-Sharing Contributions: The Profit-Sharing Contributions made by the Corporation (and forfeitures to be allocated per Section 6.05) shall be allocated as follows:

(b) Top-Heavy Allocation: If the Plan is Top-Heavy, as of each Anniversary Date, Profit-Sharing Contributions shall be allocated to the accounts of each Participant who is employed by the Corporation on the last day of the Plan Year in the amount required under Section 16.04 to be allocated to the Account of each Non-Key Employee.

 

-19-


(c) Matching Contributions: As of each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, Matching Contributions shall be allocated among the appropriate Participant Accounts at the “matching rate” up to the “matching limit”. The “matching rate” is a percentage of the Tax Reduction Contributions allocated to a Participant’s Account during the period from the previous allocation date through the current allocation date. The “matching limit” is the maximum percentage of a Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year to which the “matching rate” applies. The “matching rate” multiplied by the “matching limit” equals the maximum amount of Matching Contributions which may be allocated to a Participant’s Account for a Plan Year.

 

Both the “matching rate” and the “matching limit” shall be determined annually by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors fails to make a determination for a particular Plan Year, the “matching rate” and “matching limit” shall be the same as for the prior Plan Year. However, if the Corporation contributes less than is necessary to have a full match based on the prior Plan Year’s “matching rate” and “matching limit”, the “matching rate” shall be reduced as necessary.

 

In order for a Participant’s Account to be credited with a Matching Contribution for a calendar quarter, the Participant must have been employed by the corporation as of the last day of the calendar quarter or have died, retired, or suffered a Total Disability during the calendar quarter.

 

(d) Profit-Sharing Contributions: As of each Anniversary Date, any Profit-Sharing Contributions which remain after the allocations pursuant to the preceding subsections shall be allocated among the appropriate Participant Accounts in the proportion that the Compensation which is paid (or otherwise become taxable) to each eligible Participant for the Plan Year bears to the sum of the Compensation of all such Participants for the Plan Year.

 

-20-


In order for a Participant Account to be credited with a Profit-Sharing Contribution under this subsection, the Participant must have been employed by the Corporation as of the last day of the Plan Year or have died, retired, or suffered a Total Disability during the Plan Year.

 

6.04 Allocation of Gain or Loss:

 

(a) General Pooled Assets: As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine the fair market value of all assets in the Trust which are not held in suspense accounts, segregated accounts, or insurance contracts. Any gain or loss on such assets since the previous allocation date shall be allocated among all Participant Accounts (except those Accounts held in segregated accounts) in proportion to Account Balances as of the previous allocation date.

 

For purposes of allocating gain or loss:

 

  (i) Any distribution or withdrawal made since the previous allocation date shall be treated as if made on the previous allocation date; and

 

  (ii) Any forfeiture which occurs between allocation dates shall be treated as occurring on the Anniversary Date subsequent to the forfeiture.

 

(b) Segregated Accounts: As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine the market value of all assets held in each segregated account pursuant to Section 6.07, 11.03, or 11.08. A separate allocation of gain or loss shall be made for each segregated account. If there is more than one Participant Account within a segregated account, the gain or loss since the previous allocation date for that segregated account shall be allocated in proportion to the Account Balances as of the previous allocation date.

 

For purposes of this allocation, any distributions or withdrawals made since the previous allocation date shall be treated as having been made on the previous allocation date.

(c ) Suspense Accounts: As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine the market value of all assets held in suspense accounts pursuant to Section 6.06 or 7.05.

(d) Investment Contracts: Notwithstanding subsections (a), (b), and (c), and Sections 6.02 and 6.07, if any trust assets are invested through any arrangement with an insurance company or other investment organization, Accounts shall be valued and gains, losses, costs, and expenses shall be allocated (but not less frequently than annually) in accordance with the terms of the applicable investment contract or arrangement.

 

6.05 Allocation of Forfeitures: As of each Anniversary Date amounts forfeited pursuant to Article Nine (or treated as forfeitures under Section 7.05) shall be treated as part of the Corporation Contribution for the Plan Year and shall be allocated in accordance with Section 6.03.

 

6.06 Contribution Suspense Account: Until the end of the Plan Year, Corporation Contributions made and amounts forfeited with respect to such Plan Year shall be allocated to a Contribution Suspense Account. The gain or loss on the Contribution Suspense Account shall be allocated among the Participant Accounts in accordance with Section 6.04.

 

6.07 Directed Investments: Notwithstanding the provisions of Article Twelve or this Article, in the event that the Plan Administrator establishes such a policy, any Participant may direct the Trustee or direct the Plan Administrator to direct the Trustee to invest all, or a certain portion, of his Participant Account in any investment lawfully permitted under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ( ERISA) and the IRC. All expenses, income or losses shall be allocated in accordance with the policies established under this section. (See IRC § 408 (m) for a list of investments which are not lawfully permitted.) To the extent that the

 

-22-


Participants do not exercise their rights under this section, the allocation of expenses, income or losses shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.04 and 12.04. To the extent that a Participant does not exercise his rights under this section, investment of his Accounts shall be made pursuant to Section 13.03. To the extent permitted by ERISA, the Trustee and Plan Administrator shall be relieved of any fiduciary responsibility for investment decisions made pursuant to this section, provided however, that the Plan Administrator and/or Trustee have followed the instructions of the Participant and that said instructions are in accordance with ERISA and the IRC. Upon the death or incapacity of the Participant, the powers granted to the Participant under this section shall inure to the benefit of the Participant’s beneficiary, trustee or legal representative.

 

6.08 Reverse Discrimination Allocations: Notwithstanding the above, the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion any allocate Recharacterized Contributions or all or part of the Profit-Sharing Contribution or forfeitures among the accounts of non-Highly Compensated Employees to the extent necessary that the Plan comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of IRC §401(k), §401(m), or §410 (b)(1)(c).

 

6.09 Restructuring: To the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan Administrator may restructure the Plan into two or more components in order for the Plan to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of IRC §401(a)(4), §401(k) §401(m) §410 (b). This restructuring occurs for purposes of nondiscrimination testing only and does not directly affects Participant’s Account Balances. (NOTE: Restructuring for purposes of satisfying §401(k) or §401(m) is not permitted for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1991, except to the extent provided in reg. §1.401(k)-1(b)(3)(ii) and $1.401(m)-1(b)(3)(ii), relating to the ability to treat employees otherwise excludable from the plan under IRC §410(b) as being in a separate plan.)

ARTICLE SEVEN

 

LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND ANNUAL ADDITIONS

 

7.01 Definitions: For purposes of this Article, the following words have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

 

(a) Annual Addition shall mean the sum of:

 

  (i) Corporation Contributions made directly or indirectly,

 

  (ii) After-tax Contribution,

 

  (iii) Forfeitures,

 

  (iv) Contributions to an “individual medical benefit account” as defined in IRC §415(i), and

 

  (v) In this case of a Key Employee, contributions for post-retirement medical benefits to a welfare benefit fund, as required by IRC §419A(d).

 

For purposes of this subsection, a Participant’s “Annual Addition” shall include contributions made by the Corporation, by any Related Organization, or by the Participant to this or to any other Defined Contribution Plan, or to any defined contribution account within a Defined Benefit Plan. The “Annual Addition” shall include excess contributions which are distributed under Section 7.07 or 7.08. The “Annual Addition” does not include any transfers or Rollover Amounts.

 

(b) Average Contribution Percentage shall mean for a particular group the sum of all Contribution Percentages of Participants in that group divided by the number of Participants in that group. Only Participants eligible to receive allocations of the type of contribution being tested shall be included in the calculation of an Average Contribution Percentage.

 

-25-


(c) Contribution Percentage shall mean the sum of all contributions of the type being tested which are allocated to a Participant’s Account for a Plan Year divided by the Participant’s Compensation for that Plan Year and then multiplied by one hundred (100%) percent.

 

Amounts distributed to Participant under Section 7.05 (in order to keep the Plan in compliance with IRC §415) shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating a Contribution Percentage. Amounts distributed to Highly Compensated Employees under Section 7.06 and amounts distributed under Section 7.06 to a Non-Highly Compensated Employee solely because he participated in a plan sponsored by an employer other than the Corporation or a Related Organization shall be taken into account for purposes of calculating a Contribution Percentage.

 

(d) Gain shall mean, for purposes of Sections 7.05, 7.06, 7.07, and 7.08 the amount of income (or loss) allocated to the Participant’s Account for the Plan Year, multiplied by the amount of contributions to be distributed, divided by the Participant’s Account Balance used for allocating gain or loss for the Plan Year.

 

The amount in the preceding paragraph shall be calculated taking into consideration only the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to the type of contribution to be distributed.

 

In the alternative, the Plan Administrator may use any reasonable method for calculating Gain for a Plan Year, provided that the method does not violate IRC §401(a)(4), is used consistently throughout the Plan Year, and is the same method used in order to allocate gain or loss under Section 6.04.

 

(e) TEST ONE shall mean that the Average Contribution Percentage for all Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for all other Participants multiplied by 1.25. The Average Contribution Percentage for non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be determined using data from the prior Plan Year.

 

-26-


(f) TEST TWO shall mean that the Average Contribution Percentage for all Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants shall not exceed the lesser of the Average Contribution Percentage for all other Participants either:

 

  (i) multiplied by 2.0, or

 

  (ii) increased by two (2) percentage points.

 

The Average Contribution Percentage for non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be determined using data from the prior Plan Year.

 

(g) TEST THREE shall mean that the sum of the Average Contribution Percentages for Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the sum of:

 

  (i) the lesser of the Average Contribution Percentages for non-Highly Compensated Employee group, multiplied by 1.25, plus

 

  (ii) the greater of the Average Contribution Percentages for non-Highly Compensated Employees group either increased by two percentage points or multiplied by two, whichever is less.

 

The Plan Administrator may elect to reverse “greater” and “lesser” in paragraphs (i) and (ii). The Average Contribution Percentage for non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be determined using data from the prior Plan Year.

 

For purposes of this test, each group (Highly Compensated and non-Highly Compensated) of Employees shall have two Average Contribution Percentages, one for Tax Reduction Contributions (including Recharacterized Contributions) and one for both Matching and After-Tax Contributions. Use of this test shall be permitted only to the extent that use is permitted by IRS regulations relating to the “multiple use of the alternative limitation.”

 

7.02 Limitation on Annual Additions: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any other Defined Contribution Plan sponsored by the Corporation, the Annual Addition with respect to a Participant Account in any Limitation Year may not exceed the lesser of:

 

  (a) Thirty thousand ($30,000) dollars; or

 

-27-


  (b) Twenty-five (25%) percent of the Participant’s compensation in the Limitation Year.

 

The Annual Addition to a Participant Account in any Limitation Year may be further limited by Subsection 7.03(d), if applicable. Contributions specified in Paragraph 7.01(a)(v) shall not count against the limitation of subsection (b). The dollar amount in subsection (a) is for the Limitation Year beginning in 1997 and is indexed in accordance with IRC §415(d). See Section 15.10.

 

7.03 Multiple Plan Reduction: If a Participant participates in one or more Defined Benefit Plans and one or more Defined Contribution Plans maintained by the Corporation or a Related Organization, the sum of the “defined benefit plan fraction” and the “defined contribution plan fraction” for any Plan Year may not exceed 1.0.

 

  (a) The defined benefit plan fraction for any Limitation Year is a fraction

 

  (i) The numerator of which is the sum of the projected “annual benefit” of the Participant under all the Defined Benefit Plans (determined as of the close of the Plan Year), and

 

  (ii) The denominator of which is the lesser of:

 

  (A) The product of 1.25 multiplied by the maximum dollar limitation determined for the Limitation Year under IRC §§ 415(b) and (d),

 

  (B) The product of 1.4 multiplied by the highest average Compensation including adjustments under IRC §415(b).

 

  (b) The defined contribution plan fraction for any Limitation Year is a fraction

 

  (i) The numerator of which is the sum of all “Annual Additions” to the Participant’s Account as of the close of the Plan Year, and

 

-28-


  (ii) The denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined for such Limitation Year and for all prior Limitation Years of service with the Corporation:

 

  (A) The product of 1.25 multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect under IRC §415(c)(1)(A) for such year determined for the Limitation Year under IRC §415(c) and (d), or

 

  (B) The product of 1.4 multiplied by the amount which may be taken into account under IRC §415(c)(1)(B) for the Limitation Year.

 

  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Plan Year in which this Plan is Top-Heavy or Super Top-Heavy (pursuant to Section 16.02 or 16.03), 1.0 shall be substituted for 1.25.

 

  (d) Excessive Benefit: If the sum of the defined benefit plan fraction and the defined contribution plan fraction shall exceed 1.0 in any Plan Year for any Participant in this Plan, the numerator of the defined contribution plan fraction shall be adjusted so that the sum of both fractions shall not exceed 1.0 in any Plan Year for such Participant.

 

  (f) Sunset Provision: This section shall not apply for Plan Years beginning after 1999 (unless IRC §415(e) is reinstated for such Plan Years).

 

7.04 Time Annual Additions Deemed Credited: An Annual Addition with respect to a Participant Account shall be deemed credited to such Participant Account with respect to a Limitation Year if it is allocated to such Participant Account under the terms of the Plan as of any date within such Limitation Year.

 

-29-


7.05 Allocation of Excess Amounts: If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error in determining the amount of Tax Reduction Contributions, or other mistake of fact which the Commissioner of Internal Revenue finds justifiable in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.415-6(b)(6), the Annual Addition for any Participant exceeds the limitations specified herein, such Annual Addition shall be reduced as follows:

 

(a) First, Tax Reduction Contributions (and any attributable Gain) shall be distributed to the Participants to whose accounts the excess amounts were allocated.

 

(b) Second, forfeitures and Profit-Sharing Contributions shall be allocated among the Participant Accounts of all other Participants eligible for allocations of Corporation Contributions;

 

(c) Third, Matching Contributions shall be allocated among the Participant Accounts of all other Participants who are eligible for allocations of Corporation Contributions;

 

(d) Finally, to the extent that the reductions described in the preceding subsections may not be allocated to other Participant Accounts due to the limitations of this Article, such reductions shall be allocated as forfeitures to a Forfeiture Suspense Account. The amounts in the Suspense Accounts shall not share in the allocations of gain and loss provided in Section 6.04 and shall be allocated as forfeitures pursuant to Section 6.05 on succeeding Anniversary Dates until the Suspense Account is exhausted. Until such time, no Corporation Contribution may be made when its allocation would be precluded by the limitations of this Article. The gain or loss on the Suspense Account shall be allocated among the Participant Accounts in accordance with Section 6.04.

 

7.06 Dollar Limit on Tax Reduction Contributions: No more than ten thousand ($10,000) dollars of Tax Reduction Contributions (not including Recharacterized Contributions) may be contributed (under this Plan or any other Plan

 

-30-


of the Corporation or any Related Organization) for any Participant in any calendar year beginning after 1997. (The $10,000 limit applies for 199_ and is indexed in accordance with the limit under IRC §402(g) for other years. See Section 15.10.)

 

If the Tax Reduction Contributions (and other types of contributions listed in IRC §402(g)(3)) for a Participant for a calendar year under all qualified plans of the Corporation and any Related Organization exceed the limit under IRC §402(g), then:

 

  (a) The Plan Administrator may distribute the excess Tax Reduction Contributions (and any attributable Gain) before the end of the calendar year if it is administratively feasible to do so, and

 

  (b) The Plan Administrator shall distribute the excess Tax Reduction Contributions (and any attributable Gain) by the following April _5.

 

It a Participant also participates in another plan which is limited by IRC §402(g) and which is sponsored by an employer which is not the Corporation or a Related Organization, he shall have until March 1 to notify the plan administrators in writing regarding how much he wants distributed from each plan, and the Plan Administrator shall make the appropriate distribution.

 

7.07 Limitation Regarding Tax Reduction Contributions:

 

(a) Nondiscrimination Test: For each Plan Year the allocation of Tax Reduction Contributions (including Recharacterized Contributions) shall satisfy the requirements of TEST ONE or TEST TWO.

 

The Plan Administrator shall implement rules limiting the Tax Reduction Contributions which may be made on behalf of some or all Highly Compensated Employees so that this limitation is satisfied. The Plan Administrator, to the extent permitted by law and under uniform rules, may recharacterize the Profit-Sharing or Matching Contributions made on behalf of some or all of the other Participants as Tax Reduction Contributions so that the limitation is not exceeded

 

-31-


for the year. The Plan Administrator shall maintain adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the above limitation.

 

(b) Distribution of Excess Tax Reduction Contributions: If the limitation under this section is exceeded for any Plan Year, the Plan Administrator shall have the right to return to Highly Compensated Employees some or all of their Tax Reduction Contributions as necessary in order to comply with the limit. Tax Reduction Contributions (and any attributable Gain) should be returned within two and one-half (2 1/2) months ( in order to avoid an excise tax) and must be returned within twelve months (in order to avoid disqualification) after the end of the Plan year. The return of Tax Reduction Contributions shall be made in accordance with the Small Business Protection Act of 1996. Accordingly, the following procedure is to be used:

 

  (i) The Plan Administrator shall calculate the total dollar amount of excess Tax Reduction Contributions for each affected Highly Compensated Employee in the manner described in IRC §401(k)(B)(B) and reg. §1.401(k)-l(f)(2).

 

  (ii) The return of Tax Reduction Contributions shall be made, not in order of Contribution Percentages, but in order of dollars of Tax Reduction Contributions, starting with whichever Highly Compensated Employee(s) has (have) the highest dollar amounts of Tax Reduction Contributions. At any point in the return process, the next dollar to be returned will be returned to whichever Highly Compensated Employee(s) has (have) the highest dollar amount of Tax Reduction Contributions.

 

(c) Aggregation of Plans or Contributions: If the Corporation sponsors two or more plans which are treated as one plan for purposes of IRC §401(a)(4) or §420(b)(1)(A) or (B), all cash or deferred arrangements under those plans must be aggregated for purposes of the nondiscrimination test of subsection (a).

 

-32-


If a Highly Compensated Employee is eligible to participate in two or more cash or deferred arrangements sponsored by the Corporation or a Related Organization, his Contribution Percentage shall be determined by treating all such cash or deferred arrangements as one cash or deferred arrangement. If two or more such arrangements are parts of plans with different plan years, the Plan Administrator shall treat all such arrangements with plan years ending within the same calendar year as one arrangement.

 

(d) Safe Harbors:

 

  (i) Subsection (a) shall not apply for any Plan Year (beginning after 1998) for which the matching rate for non-Highly Compensated Employees is at least equal to:

 

  (A) 100% of Tax Reduction Contribution not in excess of three (3%) percent of Compensation, plus

 

  (B) 50% of Tax Reduction Contributions in excess of three (3%) percent but not in excess of five (5%) percent of Compensation, and

 

the matching rate (at all levels) available to any Highly Compensated Employee who participates in this Plan (or any other plan of the corporation or any Related Organization that is aggregated with this Plan for purposes of this section) is not greater than the matching rate available to any non-Highly Compensated Employee who participates in this Plan.

 

  (ii) Paragraph (i) shall not apply unless all requirements of IRC §401(k)(12) are met, including the notice requirements and the requirement that the Contributions taken into account under this subsection be treated as Recharacterized Contributions for purposes of vesting (Section 8.01) and distribution rules (Section 1_.06(b)(i)).

 

-33-


7.08 Limitation Regarding Matching Contributions:

 

(a) Nondiscrimination Test: For each Plan Year, the allocation of Matching Contributions shall satisfy the requirements of either TEST ONE or TEST TWO. If the allocation of Tax Reduction Contributions and the allocation of Matching Contributions both satisfy the requirements of TEST TWO (but neither allocation satisfies the requirements of TEST ONE), then the allocations must also satisfy the requirements of TEST THREE. The preceding sentence shall not apply to Plan Years that the safe harbor provisions of Subsection 7.07(d) are met.

 

The Plan Administrator shall implement rules limiting the amount of Matching Contributions which may be allocated to Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees so that this limitation is satisfied. The Plan Administrator may treat part of the Tax Reduction Contributions as Matching Contributions for purposes of this section, provided that the Tax Reduction Contributions not so treated and all Tax Reduction Contributions, including those so treated, comply with Section 7.07 and that such treatment is permitted under regulations. The Plan Administrator shall maintain adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the above limitation.

 

(b) Distribution of Excess Contributions: If the limitation of subsection (a) is exceeded (after determining whether the limits of Sections 7.06 and 7.07 are exceeded) for any Plan Year, the Plan Administrator shall have the right to distribute to Highly Compensated Employees a sufficient amount of Matching Contributions so that the limitation of subsection (a) is satisfied. The distribution of such Contributions (and any attributable Gain) should be made within two and one-half (2 1/2) months (in order to avoid an excise tax) and must be made within twelve (12) months (in order to avoid disqualification) after the end of the Plan Year. The distribution of such Contributions shall be made in accordance with

 

-34-


the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. Accordingly, the following procedure is to be used:

 

  (i) The Plan Administrator shall calculate the total dollar amount of excess Contributions for each affected Highly Compensated Employee in the manner described in IRC §401(m)(6)(B) and reg. §1.401(m)-1(e)(2).

 

  (ii) The return of Contributions shall be made, not in order of Contribution Percentages, but in order of dollars of Matching Contributions, starting with whichever Highly Compensated Employee(s) has (have) the highest dollar amounts of Matching Contributions. At any point in the return process, the next dollar to be returned will be returned to whichever Highly Compensated Employee(s) has (have) the highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions.

 

Matching Contributions shall be returned to the extent necessary to keep the Plan in compliance with IRC §401(a)(4).

 

For purposes of passing TEST THREE, the Plan Administrator shall distribute excess contributions to all Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with Subsection 7.07(b) and this Subsection.

 

(c) Aggregation With Tax Reduction Contributions: To the extent permitted by regulations, part or all of the Matching Contributions may be recharacterized, added to, and tested with Tax Reduction Contributions in accordance with Subsection 5.01(e) and Section 7.07. Matching Contributions which are tested with Tax Reduction Contributions are not subject to the limitation of subsection (a).

 

(d) Aggregation of Plans or Contributions: If the Corporation sponsors two or more plans which are treated as one plan for purposes of IRC §401(a)(4) or §410(b)(1)(A) or (B), all arrangements subject to IRC §401(m) under those plans must be aggregated for purposes of the nondiscrimination test of subsection (a).

 

-35-


If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more arrangements subject to IRC §401(m) and sponsored by the Corporation or a Related Organization, his Contribution Percentage shall be determined by treating all such arrangements subject to IRC §401(m) as one such arrangement. If two or more such arrangements are parts of plans with different plan years, the Plan Administrator shall treat all such arrangements with plan years ending within the same calendar year as one arrangement.

 

(e) Safe Harbor: Subsection (a) shall not apply for any Plan Year for which the Plan:

 

  (i) complies with the safe harbor of Subsection 7.07(d), and

 

  (ii) does not provide for Matching Contributions in excess of six (6%) percent of Compensation.

 

Furthermore, this paragraph shall not apply if the matching rate increases as the level of Tax Reduction Contributions increases.

 

-36-


 

ARTICLE EIGHT

 

VESTED INTEREST

 

8.01 Tax Reduction and Matching Contributions: A Participant shall at all times have a Vested Interest in one hundred (100%) percent of his Account Balance derived from Tax Reduction Contributions (including Recharacterized Contributions) and from Matching Contributions.

 

8.02 Profit-Sharing Contributions: A Participant shall have a Vested Interest in the percentage of his Account Balance derived from Profit-Sharing Contributions listed below opposite the number of Years of service credited to him according to this Article Eight:

 

Years of Service


   Vested Percentage

 

Less than 1 Year

   0 %

1 year

   10 %

2 years

   20 %

3 years or more

   100 %

 

Notwithstanding the above, a Participant employed by the Corporation shall have a Vested Interest in one hundred (100%) percent of his Account Balance derived from Profit-Sharing Contributions and Matching Contributions upon his death, upon his incurring a Total Disability, or upon his attaining Normal Retirement Age, regardless of whether he actually retires on his Normal Retirement Date.

 

8.03 Determination of Years of Service: For purposes of determining a Participant’s Vested Interest, all Years of Service, including Years of Service spent as a nonparticipant (or as a “leased employee” to the extent required by IRC §414(n)), Years of Service during which the Employee was in a category of employees excluded from the Plan, Years of Service with Related Organizations (including service before such employer became a Related Organization) shall be taken into account except for the following:

 

  (a)

In the case of a Participant who does not have any Vested Interest derived from Corporation Contributions, Years of Service before a

 

-37-


 

Five-Year Break in Service shall not be taken into account if the number of consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service is at least five (5) and equals or exceeds the aggregate number of such Years of Service prior to such Break in Service. Such aggregate number of Years of Service before such Break in Service shall be deemed not to include any Years of Service not required to be taken into account under this subsection by reason of any prior Five-Year Break in Service; and

 

  (b) In the case of an Employee who has suffered a Five-Year Break in Service, Years of Service before such Break in Service shall not be taken into account until the Employee has completed a Year of Service after his return.

 

8.04 Vested Interest Before Five-Year Break in Service: In the case of any Participant who has incurred any Five-Year Break in Service, Years of Service after such Five-Year Break in Service shall not be taken into account for purposes of Section 8.02 in order to determine his Vested Interest derived from Corporation Contributions which accrued before such Five-Year Break in Service.

 

8.05 Equivalency: If and only if the Corporation does not maintain an Employee’s employment records by counting actual Hours of Service, then the determination of Hours of Service to be credited to such Employee shall be determined under this section. For purposes of determining a Year of Service under Section 8.02, an Employee will be credited with 190 Hours of Service for each month for which said Employee would be required to be credited with at least one Hour of Service under Department of Labor Regulation Section 2530.200b-2.

ARTICLE NINE

 

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

 

9.01 Normal Retirement Benefit: A Participant may retire at his Normal Retirement Date after which his Vested Interest shall be paid to him in the manner and at the time provided in Article Eleven. A Participant may continue to work (and participate in the Plan) as long as he and the Corporation agree as to the terms and conditions of the employment. The Corporation shall act in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner in applying the terms and conditions of employment after the Normal Retirement Date and in accordance with any and all federal and state laws regarding retirement.

 

9.02 Disability Retirement Benefit: If the Plan Administrator shall find that the employment of a Participant has been terminated due to his Total Disability, his Vested Interest shall be paid to him in the manner and at the time provided in Article Eleven.

 

9.03 Benefit Upon Termination: If a Participant’s employment is terminated for a reason other than death, total disability or retirement, he shall be paid a benefit equal to the amount of his Vested Interest. Such benefit shall be paid to such terminated Participant in the manner and at the time provided in Article Eleven.

 

9.04 Forfeiture of Unvested Amounts:

 

(a) Cash-Outs and Deemed Cash-Outs: If, on account of termination of employment, a Participant receives a distribution of his entire Vested Interest before he incurs a Five-Year Break in Service, the unvested portion of his Account shall be forfeited as of the date of the final distribution. If a Participant terminates employment with no Vested Interest, his Account shall be forfeited on the earliest date on which he would have been eligible for a distribution had his Vested Interest been one ($1) dollar.

 

-39-


(b) No Cash-Out: If a Participant (who has a Vested Interest) does not receive a distribution of his entire Vested Interest before he incurs a Five-Year Break in Service, the unvested portion of his Account shall be forfeited as of the date on which he incurs a Five-Year Break in Service.

 

(c) Rehired Participants/Repayment: If a Participant who has received a distribution of his entire Vested Interest is rehired and completes one (1) Hour of Service before he incurs a Five-Year Break in Service, then his Account shall be restored (in accordance with Section 9.05) if and only if the Participant repays the distribution of his entire Vested Interest before the earlier of the fifth anniversary of his new Employment Commencement Date or the date on which he incurs a Five-Year Break in Service. No repayment is required if the Participant was zero (0%) percent vested at the time of the forfeiture.

 

9.05 Restoration of an Account:

 

(a) When Applicable: Accounts shall be restored if the conditions of Subsection 9.04(c) are met.

 

(b) Amount: The amount of the restoration shall be the amount which was forfeited.

 

(c) Time: The Participant Account shall be restored effective as of the Anniversary Date of the Plan Year during which the Participant repays his distribution.

DEATH BENEFIT

 

10.01 Death Benefit: If a Participant dies, a benefit equal to his Vested Interest shall be paid to his designated beneficiary in the manner and at the time provided in Article Eleven.

 

10.02 Beneficiary Designation: Each Participant may from time to time file with the Plan Administrator a designation of one or more primary or secondary beneficiaries to whom the death benefit shall be paid. The most recent of such designations shall control. Notwithstanding this designation, if the Participant has a surviving spouse, that spouse shall automatically be designated sole beneficiary unless the spouse has consented in a writing witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public to waive his or her right to be sole beneficiary. This designation shall apply to any insurance policy allocated to the Participant’s Account under the Plan. The spouse may condition his or her consent upon a particular party or parties being named as beneficiary.

 

10.03 Lack of Beneficiary Designation: Upon notification of the death of a Participant, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to pay the death benefit to the beneficiary or beneficiaries currently designated by the Participant subject to Section 10.02. If no such designation has been made or deemed to have been made, or if all beneficiaries so designated have predeceased the Participant, then the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to pay the death benefit to the Participant’s estate.

 

10.04 Alternate Payees Under Qualified Domestic Relations Orders: An Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order will be considered to be a designated beneficiary to the extent needed to comply with the Order as provided in Section 11.08.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

 

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

 

11.01 Valuation of Account Balance: Upon determining that a distribution shall be made to a Participant pursuant to Section 11.04, the Plan Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Participant’s Account Balance as of the last Valuation Date preceding the date on which such distribution shall begin. That portion of such Account Balance to which such Participant is entitled according to the provisions of this Plan shall be paid to him as set forth in this Article. The Plan Administrator may, in accordance with Section 12.06, delegate its duties under this section to the Trustee.

 

11.02 Method of Payment: Except as otherwise provided, any benefit payment to a Participant (or his beneficiary) shall be made in a lump-sum.

 

11.03 Segregated Accounts: The Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to segregate any undistributed portion of the Participant Account of any Participant. Any segregation of assets under this section will normally take place as of a Valuation Date.

 

11.04 Time of Payment: Except as provided by Section 11.08, no distribution shall be made before a Participant dies or terminates employment with the Corporation. The determination of the time of distribution shall be made by the Plan Administrator subject to the other sections of this Article and to the following restrictions:

 

(a) General Rule: Distribution of a Participant’s Vested Interest shall begin within sixty (60) days after the end of the Plan year during which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age or, if later, terminates employment.

 

-42-


(b) $5,000 Cash-Out: Notwithstanding subsection (a), if a Participant’s Vested Interest is five thousand ($5,000) dollars or less, his Vested Interest shall be distributed as soon as it is administratively feasible to do so after the Valuation Date coincident with or next following his termination of employment.

 

(c) Participant Election: A Participant whose Vested Interest is greater than five thousand ($5,000) dollars may elect to receive a distribution as soon as it is administratively feasible to do so after the Valuation Date coincident with or next following his termination of employment. The Plan Administrator may refuse to make a distribution under this paragraph if the Plan Administrator has reason to believe that the recipient will compete with the Corporation.

A Participant making an application under this section shall have the burden of presenting to the Plan Administrator such evidence of his

hardship as the Plan Administrator may require. If a Participant’s application for a hardship withdrawal is approved, the Plan Administrator shall then instruct the Trustee to make payment of the approved amount of the hardship withdrawal to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible and shall suspend for a period of at least twelve (12) months all elective contributions for or by the Participant under this Plan or any other qualified or nonqualified plan of deferred compensation (including stock option and stock purchase plans but not including health and welfare plans) sponsored by the Corporation or any Related Organization.

  (c) A repayment schedule shall be established which will assure that the entire principal and the interest thereon is repaid to the Plan not later than the date on which the earlier of the following events occurs:

 

  (i) The date on which the Participant terminates employment; or

 

  (ii) The last day of the five (5) year period immediately following the date of the loan.

 

Furthermore, the loan must provide for a repayment schedule not slower than substantially level payments (of interest and principal) to be made at least quarterly over the term of the loan. However, loan repayments may be suspended in accordance with IRC §414(u).

 

  (d) The loan (when added to the outstanding balance of all previous loans to the Participant) does not exceed the lesser of the following:

 

  (i) $50,000 reduced by the excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one year period ending on the date before the date on which the loan was made over the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which the loan was made; or

 

  (ii) One-half (1/2) of the amount of Tax Reduction Contributions allocated to the Account of the Participant (less prior withdrawals and excluding accumulated gain and Recharacterized Contributions).

The Plan Administrator shall establish procedures in order to administer this section in a feasible manner. The Plan Administrator shall exercise its discretion on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis taking into account the investment objectives of the Plan, the Plan’s liquidity needs and other relevant factors. Further, the Plan Administrator in exercising its discretion shall assure that loans to Participants are made available to all such Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis and are not made available to Highly Compensated Employees, officers, or shareholder in an amount or percentage greater than the amount or percentage made available to other employees.

 

A default shall occur when a Participant’s compensation is so low that payroll deductions are not sufficient to make required loan payments, and the Plan Administrator shall make a deemed (not actual) distribution of the amount in default unless he finds extenuating circumstances which are sufficient to protect Plan Assets. The Plan Administrator shall not make a deemed distribution until the Participant has failed to make a level amortization payment as required by IRC §72 (p) (2) (C). Under a deemed distribution the Trustee reports the amount in default as taxable income to the Participant. An actual distribution may not be made until the Participant is entitled to a distribution under Section 11.04.

-49-


11.08 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders: Benefits shall be paid in accordance with the applicable requirements of any Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

 

  (a) The Plan Administrator shall not treat any Domestic Relations Order as failing to qualify because:

 

  (i) It specifies the time or method of payments, which would otherwise be subject to the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion, within the options permitted by this Article, or

 

  (ii) It requires payment as if the Participant has terminated his employment on the earlier of his fiftieth (50th) birthday or the earliest date to which he is entitled to a distribution under this Article.

 

  (b) In the case of any Domestic Relations Order received by the Plan:

 

  (i) The Plan Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of the receipt of such Order and the Plan’s procedures for determining the qualified status of Domestic Relation Orders, and

 

  (ii) Within a reasonable period after receipt of such Order, the Plan Administrator shall determine whether such Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of each determination.

 

  (c) The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified status of Domestic Relations Orders and to administer distributions under such qualified Orders. Such procedures:

 

  (i) Shall be in writing.

 

-50-


  (ii) Shall provide for the notification of each person specified in a Domestic Relations Order as entitled to payment of benefits under the Plan (at the address included in the Domestic Relations Order) of such procedures promptly upon receipt by the Plan of the Domestic Relations Order, and

 

  (iii) Shall permit an Alternate Payee to designate a representative for receipt of copies of notices that are sent to the Alternate Payee with respect to a Domestic Relations Order.

 

  (d) During any period in which the issue of whether a Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being determined (by the Plan Administrator, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise), the Plan Administrator shall segregate in a separate account in the Plan or in an escrow account the amounts which would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the Order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

 

  (i) If within eighteen (18) months the Order (or modification thereof) is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the Plan Administrator shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest thereon) to the person or persons entitled thereto.

 

  (ii) If within eighteen (18) months;

 

  (A) It is determined that the Order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or

 

  (B) The issue as to whether such Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is not resolved,

 

-51-


then the Plan Administrator shall pay or credit the segregated amount (plus any interest thereon) to the person or persons who would have been entitled to such amounts if there had been no Order.

 

  (iii) Any determination that an Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order which is made after the close of the eighteen (18) month period shall be applied prospectively only.

 

  (iv) The eighteen (18) month period referred to in this subsection begins on the date that the first payment would be required to be made under the Domestic Relations Order.

15.02 Spendthrift: The interests and benefits under this Plan of any Participant or beneficiary shall not be subject to assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, garnishment, sequestration or other legal process, or to the claims of creditors, except as provided in Section 11.08 or in IRC §401 (a) (13) (c).

 

15.03 Return of Certain Corporation Contributions: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the following Corporation Contributions shall be returned to the Corporation in the following manner:

  (b) Any Corporation Contribution which is conditioned upon the initial qualification of this Plan under IRC §401 shall be returned to the Corporation within one (1) year after the date of the denial of the initial qualification of this Plan; and

 

  (c)

Any Corporation Contribution which is conditioned upon the deductibility of such Corporation Contribution under IRC §404 shall be returned to the Corporation, to the extent the deduction is disallowed, within one (1) year after the disallowance if the initial

 

-65-


 

contribution was made due to a good faith mistake of fact or a good faith mistake in determining the deductibility of the contribution.

 

The amount which may be returned to the Corporation because of the application of subsection (a) or (c) is the excess of the amount contributed over the amount that would have been contributed had there not occurred a mistake of fact or a mistake in determining the deduction.

 

15.04 Rollovers and Transfers:

 

(a) Acceptance by Trustee: The Trustee may accept a Rollover Amount or a trustee-to-trustee transfer from another qualified trust on behalf of a Participant as permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. A rollover must take place within the sixty (60) day period immediately following the date on which the Participant received the Rollover Amount. The Trustee shall not accept a rollover or a transfer if the amount must be distributable in a method not available under Article Eleven. The Trustee may require of the Participant such assurances and representations as it may deem necessary.

 

(b) Rollover and Transfer Accounts: Any Rollover Amount or transfer accepted under subsection (a) shall be held in a separate Rollover or Transfer Account, and such Account shall at all times be one hundred (100%) percent vested.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN

 

TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS

 

16.01 Definitions: When used in this Article, the following words shall have the following meaning unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

 

  (a) Account Balance shall mean the sum of :

 

  (i) The balance of a Participant Account under the Plan as of the Anniversary Date immediately preceding the Determination Date;

 

  (ii) The gain or loss allocated to said Participant Account as of the Determination Date under Article six; and

 

  (iii) The value of any Corporation or After-Tax Contributions made during the Plan Year ending on the Determination Date and allocated to said Participant Account under Article Six.

 

The term shall also include the aggregate distributions made with respect to such participant under the Plan (including distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included with the Aggregation Group) during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date, but shall not include:

 

  (i) Any rollover amounts (or similar transfers) initiated by the Participant and made after December 31, 1983;

 

  (ii) Any portion of the balance of the Participant Account attributable to voluntary employee contributions which are deductible under IRC §72(o)(5) ; or

 

  (iii) The Account Balance of a Non-Key Employee who was a Key Employee for any prior Plan Year.

 

-68-


In the case of a Defined Contribution Plan other than this Plan, the term “Account Balance” shall be defined pursuant to the same principles used to define the term under this plan and in accordance with IRC $416. The determination date applicable to said Defined Contribution Plan shall be the last day of the Plan year of the Defined Contribution Plan which occurs during the calendar year of the Determination Date of this Plan.

 

  (b) Accrued Benefit shall mean the present value of the accrued benefit of a participant of a Defined Benefit Plan as of the most recent valuation date which is within a twelve (12) month period ending on the applicable determination date. The “applicable determination date” of said Defined Benefit Plan shall be the last day of the plan year of the Defined Benefit which occurs during the calendar year of the Determination Date of this Plan. In the first plan year of the Defined Benefit Plan, the accrued benefit for a current participant must be determined either (i) as if the participant terminated service as of the applicable determination date, or (ii) as if the participant terminated service as of the valuation date, but taking into account the estimated accrued benefit as of the applicable determination date. However, for any other plan year, the accrued benefit for a current participant must be determined as if the participant terminated services as of such valuation date. For this purpose, the valuation date must be the same valuation date used for computing plan costs for minimum funding, regardless of whether a valuation is performed that year.

 

If the Corporation sponsors more than one Defined Benefit Plan and if two or more plans use different methods of benefit accrual (as available under IRC $411 (b) (1)), then the present value of the accrued

 

-69-


benefit of every non-key employee in every Defined Benefit Plan of the Corporation shall (for purposes of determining whether this Plan is Top-Heavy) be calculated using the method of benefit accrual specified in IRC §411(b)(1)(C).

 

The term Accrued Benefit shall also include the aggregate distributions made with respect to such participant under the Defined Benefit Plan (including distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included with the Aggregation Group) during the five (5) year period ending on the applicable determination date, but shall not include:

 

  (i) Any rollover amounts (or similar transfers) initiated by such participant and made after December 31, 1983;

 

  (ii) Any portion of the participant’s accrued benefits attributable to voluntary employee contributions which are deductible under IRC §72(o)(5); or

 

  (iii) The Accrued Benefit of such participant if such participant is a non-key employee, who was a key employee of the Defined Benefit Plan for any prior plan year.

 

All terms and expressions used in this subsection shall be construed in a manner consistent with the principles of this Plan and the IRC.

 

  (c) Aggregation Group shall include:

 

  (i) This Plan if any Participant qualifies as a Key Employee;

 

  (ii) Each Defined Benefit Plan and Defined Contribution Plan of the Corporation in which any participant qualifies as a key employee under the principles of Subsection 16.01(e);

 

-70-


  (iii) Each other Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution Plan of the Corporation which enables any Plan described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above to meet the requirements of IRC §401(a)(4) or §410; and

 

  (iv) Any other Defined Benefit Plan or Defined Contribution of the Corporation which is not required to be included in the Aggregation Group under paragraphs (i) (ii) and (iii) above and which the Plan Administrator elects to include in the Aggregation Group if the Aggregation Group will continue to meet the requirements of IRC §401(a)(4) and §410 with such plan being taken into account.

 

  (d) Determination Date shall mean the last day of the preceding Plan Year, or in the case of the first Plan Year of this Plan, the last day of such Plan Year.

 

  (e) Key Employee shall mean an employee, former employee or the beneficiary of a former employee under Article Ten who, at any time during the Plan Year ending on the Determination Date, or during any of the four preceding Plan Years, was

 

  (i) An Officer;

 

  (ii) A five (5%) Percent Owner;

 

  (iii) One of the ten employees;

 

  (A) Owning both more than a one-half (1/2%) percent ownership interest in value and the largest percentage ownership interest in value of any of the employers included within the definition of Corporation; and

 

  (B) Having annual Compensation greater than the amount specified in IRC §415(c)(1)(A), as modified from time to time by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue; or

 

-71-


  (iv) A one (1%) Percent Owner having an annual Compensation of more than one hundred fifty thousand ($150,000) dollars.

 

For purposes of paragraph (iii), if two (2) employees have the same interest in the Corporation, the employee having the greater annual Compensation shall be treated as having a larger interest. The determination of who is a Key Employee shall be made in accordance with IRC §416(i) and the regulations thereunder.

 

  (f) Non-Key Employee shall mean an employee, former employee or beneficiary of a former employee under Article Ten who is not a Key Employee.

 

  (g) Super Top-Heavy Group shall mean the Aggregation Group if the sum, as of the Determination Date, of:

 

  (i) The aggregate of the Account Balances of Key Employees of this Plan;

 

  (ii) The aggregate of the Account Balances of key employees (as defined by the principles of Subsection 16.01(e)) of all Defined Contribution Plans other than this Plan, included in such Aggregation Group; and

 

  (iii) The aggregate of the Accrued Benefits of key employees (as defined by the principles of Subsection 16.01(e)) of all Defined Benefit plans included in such Aggregation Group, exceeds ninety (90%) percent of a similar sum determined for all participants (excluding former key employees) of all plans included in the Aggregation Group.

 

For purposes of this evaluation, if any individual has not performed any services for the Corporation (or any other employer maintaining a plan in the Aggregation Group) at any time during the five (5) year

 

-72-


period ending on the Determination Date, any Account Balance or Accrued Benefit of such individual shall not be taken into account.

 

  (h) Top-Heavy Group shall mean the Aggregation Group if the sum, as of the Determination Date, of:

 

  (i) The aggregate of the Account Balances of Key Employees of this Plan;

 

  (ii) The aggregate of the Account Balances of key employees (as defined by the principles or Subsection 16.01(e)) of all Defined Contribution Plans other than this Plan, included in such Aggregation Group; and

 

  (iii) The aggregate of the Accrued Benefits of key employees (as defined by the principles of Subsection 16.01(e)) of all Defined Benefit Plans included in such Aggregation Group,

 

exceeds sixty (60%) percent of a similar sum determined for all participants (excluding former key employees) of all plans included in the Aggregation Group.

 

For purposes of this evaluation, if any individual has not performed any services for the Corporation (or any other employer maintaining a plan in the Aggregation Group) at any time during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date, any Account Balance or Accrued Benefit of such individual shall not be taken into account.

 

16.02 General Rule: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, this Plan shall be deemed to be Top-Heavy and the provisions of this Article shall be effective for, and only for, any Plan Year which begins after December 31, 1983 and during which:

 

  (a) The Aggregation Group includes this Plan; and

 

  (b) The Aggregation Group qualifies as a Top-Heavy Group.

 

-73-


Any other provisions of this Plan which are not in direct conflict with the provisions of this Article shall continue to be effective for any such Plan Year.

 

16.03 Super Top-Heavy: In addition to being Top-Heavy, the Plan shall also be deemed to be Super Top-Heavy for, and only for, any Plan Year which begins after December 31, 1983 and during which:

 

  (a) The Aggregation Group includes this Plan; and

 

  (b) The Aggregation Group qualifies as a Super Top-Heavy Group.

 

16.04 Corporation Contributions:

  (b) Exceptions:

 

  (i) The percentage referred to in subsection (a) for any Plan Year shall not exceed the highest percentage at which Corporation Contributions plus forfeitures are allocated to the account of a Key Employee for said Plan Year.

 

  (ii) The determination referred to in paragraph (i) above shall be determined for each Key Employee by dividing the Corporation Contributions plus forfeitures allocated during the Plan Year to the account of such Key Employee by his total Compensation for the year.

 

  (iii)

For purposes of this section, all Defined Contribution Plans required to be included in an Aggregation Group under Subsection 16.01 (c) shall be treated as one plan. Paragraph (i) above shall not apply to any Defined Contribution Plan

 

-74-


 

which is required to be included in the Aggregation Group under Subsection 16.01(c) if such Defined Contribution Plan enables a Defined Benefit Plan required to be included in such Aggregation Group to meet the requirements of IRC §401(a)(4) or §410.
