Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of
all Participants for the Plan Year.

Advisory Committee will allocate the annual Employer nonelective
contributions in the same ratio that each Participant's
Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of
all Participants for the Plan Year, but not exceeding 3% of each
Participant's Compensation. Solely for purposes of this first tier
allocation, a "Participant" means, in addition to any Participant
who satisfies the requirements of Section 3.06 for the Plan Year,
any other Participant entitled to a top heavy minimum allocation
under Section 3.04(B) of the Plan.
As a second tier allocation, the Advisory Committee will allocate
the nonelective contributions in the same ratio that each
Participant's Excess Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the

As a third tier allocation, the Advisory Committee will allocate
the annual Employer contributions in the same ratio that each

paragraph, as a percentage of each Participant's Compensation plus
Excess Compensation, must not exceed the applicable percentage
(2.7%, 2.4% or 1.3%) listed under the Maximum Disparity Table
following Option (i).

LOAN POLICY
The Committee of the retirement plan ("Plan") sponsored by
XXXXXXX XXXXX, INC. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN adopts the following
loan policy pursuant to the terms of the Plan. As a participant or
beneficiary under the Plan, you may receive a loan only as
permitted by this loan policy.
1. Loan Application. Any Plan participant may apply for a loan
from the Plan. For purposes of this loan policy, the term
"participant" means any participant who is an employee of the
employer with respect to the Plan. A participant must apply for
each loan in writing with an application which specifies the
amount of the loan desired, the requested duration for the loan
and the source of security for the loan. [The Committee will not
approve any loan if a participant is not creditworthy. In order
to be creditworthy, the participant must have established in his
or her community, a reputation which would entitle him or her to a
similar loan from a commercial or business lender. In applying
for the loan from the Plan, each participant must give fully
authority to investigate his or her creditworthiness.]
2. Limitation on Loan Amount/Purpose of Loan. The Committee will
not approve any loan to a participant in an amount which exceeds
50% of his or her nonforfeitable accrued benefit (account
balances), as reflected by the books and records of the Plan. The
maximum aggregate dollar amount of loans outstanding to any
participant may not exceed $50,000, reduced by the excess of the
participant's highest outstanding participant loan balance during
the 12-month period ending on the date of the loan over the
participant's current outstanding participant loan balance on the
date of the loan. A participant may not request a loan for less
than $1,000.
A participant loan may be for the purpose of one or any combination
of the following reasons: (1) the purchase, construction or
improvement of a resident (2) tuition and other educational
expenses; (3) medical and dental expenses. The advisory committee
reserves the right to request documentation supporting the above
purposes.
3. Evidence and Terms of Loan. The Committee will document every
loan in the form of a promissory note signed by the participant for
the face amount of the loan, together with a commercially
reasonable rate of interest. The Committee must reevaluate
interest rates for loans made more than one month since the last
loan made by the Plan.
A loan will provide a fixed rate of interest equal to the current
prime interest rate as published from time to time in the Money
section of USA Today, plus one percent (1%). The Committee will
determine whether the interest rate is commercially reasonable at
the time it approves the loan. The loan must provide for monthly
payments under a level amortization schedule with payments deducted
via a monthly debit to the participant's bank account with the
first payment deducted no later than 30 days after the date of the
note.
[The Committee will suspend payments for a period not exceeding one
year which occurs during an approved leave of absence.] The
Committee will fix the term for repayments of any loan. However,
in no instance may the term of repayment be greater than five
years. The committee may fix the term for repayment of a home loan
for a period not to exceed five years. A "home loan" is a loan
used to acquire a dwelling unit which, within a reasonable time,
the participant will use as a principal residence.
Participants should note the law treats the amount of any loan not
repaid five years after the date of the loan as a taxable
distribution on the last day of the five year period or, if sooner,
at the time the loan is in default. If a participant extends a
non-home loan having a five year or less repayment term beyond five
years, the balance of the loan at the time of the extension is a
taxable distribution to the participant.
4. Security for Loan. A participant must secure each loan with an
irrevocable pledge and assignment of 50% of the nonforfeitable
amount of the borrowing participant's accrued benefit under the
Plan.
125
5. Form of Pledge. The pledge and assignment of a participant's
account balances will be in the form prescribed by the Committee.
6. Military Service. If a participant separates from service (or
takes a leave of absence) from the Employer because of service in
the military and does not receive a distribution of his/her account
balances, the Plan suspends loan repayments until the participant's
completion of military service or until the participant's fifth
anniversary of commencement of military service, if earlier. The
Employer will provide the participant with a written explanation of
the effect of the participant's military service upon his/her Plan
loan.
7. Default/Risk of Loss. The Committee will treat a Plan loan in
default if:
(a) any scheduled payment remains unpaid beyond the last day of
the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the
participant missed the scheduled payment; or 90 days.
(b) there is the making or furnishing of any representation or
statement to the Plan by or on behalf of the participant which
proves to have been false in any material respect when made or
furnished;
(c) loss, theft, damage, destruction, sale or encumbrance to or of
any of the collateral, or the making of any levy seizure or
attachment thereof or thereon;
(d) death, dissolution, insolvency, business failure, appointment
of receiver of any part of the property of, assignment for the
benefit of creditors by, or the commencement of any proceeding
under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws of, by or against the
participant.
(E) termination of employment occurs for any reason, and the
principal balance is not paid within 90 days after employment has
ended.
The participant will have the opportunity to repay the loan, resume
current status of the loan by paying any missed payment plus
interest or, if distribution is available under the Plan, request
distribution of the note. If the loan remains in default, the
Committee will offset the participant's vested account balances by
the outstanding balance of the loan. The Committee will treat the
note as repaid to the extent of any permissible offset. Pending
final disposition of the note, the participant remains obligated
for any unpaid principal and accrued interest.
The Committee intends this loan program not to place other
participants at risk with respect to their interest in the Plan.
In this regard, the Committee will administer any participant loan
as a participant directed investment of that portion of the
participant's vested account balance equal to the outstanding
principal balance of the loan. Any loan fees relating to a
participant's plan loan will be deducted from the participant's
account balance. The Plan will credit that portion of the
participant's account balances with the interest earned on the note
and with principal payments received by the participant. The Plan
also will charge that portion of the participant's account balances
with expenses directly related to the organization, maintenance and
collection of the note.
