[3] (ii) Additional Employer contribution.
[2] (iii) Income or gain to the Plan.
(d) Forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be:
[ ] (i) Applied to reduce Employer contributions.
[ ] (ii) Allocated, after all other forfeitures under the Plan, to
the Matching Contribution account of each non-Highly
Compensated Participant who made Elective Deferrals or

which the Participant would be entitled shall be paid as cash and

11. LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS
[X] This is the only Plan the Employer maintains or ever maintained;
therefore, this section is not applicable.
[ ] The Employer does maintain or has maintained another Plan (including a
Welfare Benefit Fund or an individual medical account [as defined in
Code Section 415(l)(2)], under which amounts are treated as Annual
Additions) and has completed the proper sections below.
Complete (a), (b) and (c) only if the Employer maintains or ever
maintained another qualified plan, including a Welfare Benefit Fund or
an individual medical account [as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2)],
in which any Participant in this Plan is (or was) a participant or
could possibly become a participant.
(a) If the Participant is covered under another qualified Defined
Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer, other than a Master or
Prototype Plan:
[ ] (i) the provisions of Article X of the Basic Plan Document #04
will apply, as if the other plan were a Master or Prototype
Plan.
[ ] (ii) Attach provisions stating the method under which the plans
will limit total Annual Additions to the Maximum Permissible
Amount, and will properly reduce any Excess Amounts, in a
manner that precludes Employer discretion.
(b) If a Participant is or ever has been a participant in a Defined Benefit
Plan maintained by the Employer:
Attach provisions which will satisfy the 1.0 limitation of Code
Section 415(e). Such language must preclude Employer discretion. The
Employer must also specify the interest and mortality assumptions used

relating to Top-Heavy Plans shall be satisfied by:
[ ] (i) this Plan.

12. VESTING
Employees shall have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in any
Employer contribution and the investment earnings thereon made in accordance
with paragraphs (select one or more options) [ ] 7(c), [ ] 7(e), [ ] 7(f),
[ ] 7(g) and [ ] 7(i) hereof. Contributions under paragraph 7(b), 7(c)(vii)

are not selected, such Employer contributions shall be subject to the
vesting table selected by the Employer.
Each Participant shall acquire a vested and nonforfeitable percentage in his
or her account balance attributable to Employer contributions and the
earnings thereon under the procedures selected below except with respect to
any Plan Year during which the Plan is Top-Heavy, in which case the
Two-twenty vesting schedule [Option (b)(iv)] shall automatically apply
unless the Employer has already elected a faster vesting schedule. If the
Plan is switched to option (b)(iv), because of its Top-Heavy status, that
vesting schedule will remain in effect even if the Plan later becomes
non-Top-Heavy until the Employer executes an amendment of this Adoption
Agreement indicating otherwise.
(a) Computation Period:
The computation period for purposes of determining Years of Service and
Breaks in Service for purposes of computing a Participant's
nonforfeitable right to his or her account balance derived from

performs an Hour of Service for the Employer and each
subsequent 12-consecutive month period shall commence on the
anniversary thereof, or
[X] (iii) shall commence on the first day of the Plan Year during
which an Employee first performs an Hour of Service for the
Employer and each subsequent 12-consecutive month period
shall commence on the anniversary thereof.
A Participant shall receive credit for a Year of Service if he or she
completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service [or if lesser, the number of
hours specified at 3(l)(iii) of this
20

Participant need not be employed at the end of the 12-consecutive month
computation period to receive credit for a Year of Service.
(b) Vesting Schedules:
NOTE: The vesting schedules below only apply to a Participant who
has at least one Hour of Service during or after the, 1989
