A Member, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Plan Administrator, may change the rate of, or suspend his, Before-Tax Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions) and After-Tax Contributions once each calendar quarter. If a Members Before-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions terminate, such Member thereafter may resume Before-Tax Contributions to the Plan as of the next Enrollment Date in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Plan Administrator provided that he is otherwise eligible to make contributions to the Plan.
4.7 Limitation on Before-Tax Contributions
(a) | Actual Deferral Percentage Test. An Employer shall not permit a Member to defer an amount of Covered Compensation that would cause the Plan to not satisfy at least one of the following tests in any Plan Year: |
(i) | The Actual Deferral Percentage for a Plan Year for the group of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the current years Actual Deferral Percentage for all other eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or |
(ii) | The Actual Deferral Percentage for a Plan Year for the group of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the current years Actual Deferral Percentage for all other eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage of all other eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage points. |
16
Article 4 | Contributions |
In applying the foregoing limitations, an Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he meets the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. Similarly, an Employee is a Non-Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he does not meet the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. The Actual Deferral Percentage for a specified group of Employees for an applicable Plan Year shall be the average of ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in such group) of (1) the amount of Before-Tax Contributions actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of each such Employee for such Plan Year, to (2) the Employees Compensation for that portion of the applicable Plan Year during which the Employee was eligible to participate. In computing the Actual Deferral Percentage, Before-Tax Contributions shall not include any amounts properly returned to (3) the Member as excess Annual Additions under Article Eleven of the Plan; or (4) a Non-Highly Compensated Employee as Excess Before-Tax Contributions under Section 4.5 of the Plan. The Actual Deferral Percentage for a Member who makes no Before-Tax Contributions during a Plan Year shall be 0%. Contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage test must be made before the last day of the twelve-month period immediately following the Plan Year to which the contributions relate.
The Actual Deferral Percentage for any Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who has Before-Tax Contributions allocated to his account under two or more plans of an Employer, shall be determined as if all such contributions were made under a single plan. If the above plans have different plan years, all cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement.
In the event that this 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 this Plan, then this Section 4.7 of the Plan shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentages of Members as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if they have the same plan year and use the same Actual Deferral Percentage testing method.
An Employer shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Actual Deferral Percentage test. The determination and treatment of the Actual Deferral Percentage amounts of any Member shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
(b) | Excess Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, with respect to any Plan Year in which Before-Tax Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees exceed the applicable limit, the Plan Administrator shall reduce the amount of the Excess Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees (determined by reducing such contributions in order of actual deferral |
17
Article 4 | Contributions |
percentages beginning with the highest), and shall distribute any Excess Contributions which exist after such reduction, as adjusted by the Income or loss allocable to such Excess Contributions, to the affected Highly Compensated Employees no later than March 15 of the year following the Plan Year in which any such Excess Contributions arose, but in no event shall such amounts be distributed later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such Excess Contributions were allocated. Excess Contributions are allocated to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amount of Before-Tax Contributions taken into account in calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage test for the year in which the excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of Before-Tax Contributions and continuing in descending order until all Excess Contributions have been allocated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the largest amount is determined after distribution of any Excess Contributions.
For purposes of this Section 4.7 of the Plan, Excess Contributions shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the aggregate amount of Employer contributions actually taken into account in computing the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the Actual Deferral Percentage test. The Income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions shall be the amount determined by multiplying the Income or loss allocable to the Participants accounts containing the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the Participants account balance in his accounts containing the Excess Contributions as of the Valuation Date of the Plan Year in which the Excess Contribution is made without regard to any gain or loss allocable to such total amount for the Plan Year.
For the 2006 and 2007 Plan Years, Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for any Income or loss during the GAP Period as defined in Section 4.5 of the Plan. The Income or loss allocable to Excess Contributions during the GAP Period is the sum of: (i) the Income or loss allocable to the Participants Before-Tax Contribution Account for the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participants Excess Contributions for the year and the denominator is the Participants account balance attributable to Before-Tax Contributions as of the beginning of the Plan Year and Before-Tax Contributions made during the Plan Year; and (ii) 10 percent of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.
4.8 Rollover Contributions From Other Qualified Plans
A Member, with the approval of the Plan Administrator (or its delegate) and upon a determination by the Plan Administrator that a distributing plan is an Eligible Retirement Plan,

ARTICLE 9 WITHDRAWALS
9.1 Frequency of Withdrawals
No Member while an Employee may take a withdrawal from his Account under this Article Nine of the Plan more frequently than once in any calendar quarter.
9.2 Hardship Withdrawals
A Member can withdraw amounts from his Before-Tax Contributions Account (except Income attributable to the Before-Tax Contributions Account earned after January 1, 1989), Rollover Account and Matching Contributions Account on account of a hardship. The minimum amount of a hardship withdrawal shall be $500. For the withdrawal to constitute a hardship, the withdrawal (1) must be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Member, and (2) must be necessary to satisfy that need. The determination of whether a Member has an immediate and heavy financial need is to be made by the Plan Administrator on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. A financial need shall not fail to qualify as immediate and heavy merely because such need was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by the Member. The following types of expenses shall be deemed to constitute an immediate and heavy financial need for purposes of this Section 9.2 of the Plan:
(a) | Medical expenses (described in Section 213(d) of the Code) incurred by the Member or his Spouse or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code); |

Article 9 | Withdrawals |
The requirement that a hardship withdrawal must be necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need shall be met if the funds cannot be obtained from other resources reasonably available to the Member and the amount distributed does not exceed the amount required to relieve the financial need. Before a Member can make a hardship withdrawal, he must first withdraw all amounts in his After-Tax Contributions Account available for withdrawal, and take out a loan on amounts in his Account, if available. To the extent that a Member cannot access funds necessary to meet his immediate and heavy financial need by a loan from his Plan Accounts or by a withdrawal of available amounts in his After-Tax Contributions Account, the Member must represent to the Plan Administrator that the required funds cannot be obtained:
(a) | Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance; |
(b) | By reasonable liquidation of the Members assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need; for this purpose, the Members assets shall be deemed to include those assets of the Members Spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Member; |
(c) | By discontinuing his Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions to the Plan; or |

In the case of a merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or transfer of assets or liabilities of the Trust Fund to, any other plan or trust, the terms of the merger, consolidation or transfer shall be such that the benefits to which a Member is entitled immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer shall be equal to or greater than the benefit to which the Member is entitled immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or transfer.

For purposes of this Article Seventeen of the Plan, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order must meet the following requirements:
(a) | A Qualified Domestic Relations Order consists of any judgment, decree, or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) which relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights of a Spouse, child, or other dependent and is made pursuant to a State domestic relations law (including a community property law) and which creates or recognizes the existence of an alternate payees right to, or assigns to an alternate payee the right to, receive all or a portion of the benefits payable with respect to a Member under the Plan. |
(b) | A Qualified Domestic Relations Order must also meet the following conditions: |
(i) | Such order must clearly specify the name and the last known mailing address of the Member and the name and mailing address of each alternate payee covered by the Order. |
(ii) | Such order must clearly specify the amount or percentage of the Members benefits to be paid by the Plan to each alternative payee, or the manner in which such amount or percentage is to be determined. |
(iii) | Such order must clearly specify the number of payments or the period to which such order applies and the name of the Plan. |
(iv) | Such order shall not require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided under the Plan. |
(v) | Such order shall not require the Plan to provide increased benefits to any alternate payee (determined on the basis of actuarial value). |
56
Article 17 | Nonalienation of Benefits Except for Qualified Domestic Telations Orders |
(vi) | Such order shall not require the payment of benefits to an alternate payee that are required to be paid to another alternate payee under another order that was previously determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations order. |
This Article Seventeen of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with Section 414(p) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder.
After an order has been determined found to meet the conditions for a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the Plan Administrator may make payments to the alternate payee who has been assigned a right to benefits payable with respect to a Member as soon as administratively feasible in accordance with the terms of the Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
