Except as otherwise provided below, this amendment shall be effective as of the first day of the first plan year beginning after December 31, 2001.
Supersession of Inconsistent Provisions. This amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this amendment.

The effective date applicable to catch-up contributions must likewise be consistent among all plans described immediately above, to the extent required in Code Section 414(v)(4) and IRS guidance issued thereunder.
(b) Plan Limit on Elective Deferral for Plans Permitting Catch-up Contributions. This Section (b) is inapplicable if the Plan converted to this Fidelity document from any other document effective after April 1, 2002.

38
beginning April 1, 2002, unless (b)(1) or (b)(2) is selected below. For Plans that permit catch up contributions beginning after April 1, 2002, pursuant to (a)(1) above, the Plan Limit set out in Section 1.07(a)(1) shall continue to apply unless and until the Employer’s election in (b)(2) below, if any, provides for a change in the Plan Limit.
(1) o The Plan Limit set out in Section 1.07(a)(1) shall continue to apply on and
after April 1, 2002.
(2) o The Plan Limit set out in Section l.07(a)(1) shall continue to apply until
_____________ (cannot be before April 1, 2002), and the Plan Limit after

The Employer must select the box below only if the Employer selected (a)(1) above, and the Employer wants to provide Matching Employer Contributions on catch-up contributions. In that event, the same rules that apply to Matching Employer Contributions on Deferral Contributions other than catch-up contributions will apply to Matching Employer Contributions on catch-up contributions.
o Notwithstanding anything in 2.01(l) to the contrary, Matching Employer Contributions under Section 1.10 shall apply to catch-up contributions described in Section 5.03(b)(1).
(d) Rollovers of After-Tax Employee Contributions to the Plan.

1.07 DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS
(a) þ Deferral Contributions - Participants may elect to have a portion of their Compensation contributed to the Plan on a before-tax basis pursuant to Code Section 401(k).
(1) Regular Contributions - The Employer shall make a Deferral Contribution in accordance with Section 5.03 on behalf of each Participant who has an executed salary reduction agreement in effect with the Employer for the payroll period in question, not to exceed 75% of Compensation for that period.
Note: For Limitation Years beginning prior to 2002, the percentage elected above must be less than 25% in order to satisfy the limitation on annual additions under Code Section 415 if other types of contributions are provided under the Plan.
(A) o Instead of specifying a percentage of Compensation, a Participant’s salary reduction agreement may specify a dollar amount to be contributed each payroll period, provided such dollar amount does not exceed the maximum percentage of Compensation specified in Subsection 1.07(a)(1) above.
(B) A Participant may increase or decrease, on a prospective basis, his salary reduction agreement percentage as of the next Entry Date.
Note: Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 1.07(a)(1)(B), if Option 1.10(a)(3), Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contributions, or 1.11(a)(3), Safe Harbor Formula, with respect to Nonelective Employer Contributions is checked, the Plan provides that an Active Participant may change his salary reduction agreement percentage for the Plan Year within a reasonable period (not fewer than 30 days) of receiving the notice described in Section 6.10.
(C) A Participant may revoke, on a prospective basis, a salary reduction agreement at any time upon proper notice to the Administrator but in such case may not file a new salary reduction agreement until any subsequent Entry Date.
(2) o Additional Deferral Contributions - The Employer may allow Participants upon proper notice and approval to enter into a special salary reduction agreement to make additional Deferral Contributions in an amount up to 100% of their Compensation for the payroll period(s) in the final month of the Plan Year.
44
(3) o Bonus Contributions - The Employer may allow Participants upon proper notice and approval to enter into a special salary reduction agreement to make Deferral Contributions in an amount up to 100% of any Employer paid cash bonuses designated by the Employer on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis that are made for such Participants during the Plan Year. The Compensation definition elected by the Employer in Subsection 1.05(a) must include bonuses if bonus contributions are permitted.
Note: A Participant’s contributions under Subsection 1.07(a)(2) and/or (3) may not cause the Participant to exceed the percentage limit specified by the Employer in Subsection 1.07(a)(1) for the full Plan Year. If the Administrator anticipates that the Plan will not satisfy the “ADP” and/or “ACP” test for the year, the Administrator may reduce the rate of Deferral Contributions of Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees to an amount objectively determined by the Administrator to be necessary to satisfy the “ADP” and/or “ACP” test.
