4-3DEFAULT ELIGIBILITY RULES. In applying the minimum age and service requirements under AA §4-1 above, the following default rules apply with respect to all contribution sources under the Plan:
Year of Service. An Employee earns a Year of Service for eligibility purposes upon completing 1,000 Hours of Service during an Eligibility Computation Period. Hours of Service are calculated based on actual hours worked during the Eligibility Computation Period. (See Section 1.72 of the Plan for the definition of Hours of Service.)
Eligibility Computation Period. If one Year of Service is required for eligibility, the Plan will determine subsequent Eligibility Computation Periods on the basis of Plan Years. (See Section 2.03(a)(3)(i) of the Plan.) If more than one Year of Service is required for eligibility, the Plan will determine subsequent Eligibility Computation Periods on the basis of Anniversary Years. However, if the Employee fails to earn a Year of Service in the first or second Eligibility Computation Period, the Plan will determine subsequent Eligibility Computation Periods on the basis of Plan Years beginning in the first or second Eligibility Computation Period, as applicable. (See Section 2.03(a)(3)(iii) of the Plan.)
Break in Service Rules. The Nonvested Participant Break in Service rule and the One-Year Break in Service rule do NOT apply. (See Section 2.07 of the Plan.)
To override the default eligibility rules, complete the applicable sections of this AA §4-3. If this AA §4-3 is not completed for a particular contribution source, the default eligibility rules apply.

        (c) Elapsed Time method. Eligibility service will be determined under the Elapsed
Time method. An Eligible Employee (as defined in AA §3-1) must complete a period of service, as designated below, to participate in the Plan. (See Section 2.03(a)(6) of the Plan.)

(1)
For Deferral, must complete a     period of service
(2)
For Match, must complete a     period of service
(3)
For ER, must complete a     period of service
[Note: Under the Elapsed Time method in this subsection, service will be measured from the Employee’s employment commencement date (or reemployment commencement date, if applicable) without regard to the Eligibility Computation Period designated in Section 2.03(a)(3) of the Plan. The period of service may not exceed 12 months for eligibility for Salary Deferrals or After-Tax Employee Contributions. If a period greater than 12 months is entered and the Salary Deferral column is checked, the period of service will be deemed to be a 12-month period. If a period greater than 12 months applies to Matching Contributions or Employer Contributions, 100% vesting must be selected under AA §8 for those contributions.]
        (d) Equivalency Method. For purposes of determining an Employee’s Hours of
Service for eligibility, the Plan will use the Equivalency Method (as defined in Section 2.03(a)(5) of the Plan). The Equivalency Method will apply to:
(1)    All Employees.
(2)    Only Employees for whom the Employer does not maintain hourly records. For Employees for whom the Employer maintains hourly records, eligibility will be determined based on actual hours worked.
Hours of Service for eligibility will be determined under the following Equivalency Method.
(3)    Monthly. 190 Hours of Service for each month worked.
(4)    Weekly. 45 Hours of Service for each week worked.
(5)    Daily. 10 Hours of Service for each day worked.
(6)    Semi-monthly. 95 Hours of Service for each semi-monthly period worked.
N/A            (e) Nonvested Participant Break in Service rule applies. Service earned prior to a
Nonvested Participant Break in Service will be disregarded in applying the eligibility rules. (See Section 2.07(b) of the Plan.)
The Nonvested Participant Break in Service rule applies to all Employees, including Employees who have not terminated employment.
        (f) One-Year Break in Service rule applies. The One-Year Break in Service rule
(as defined in Section 2.07(d) of the Plan) applies to temporarily disregard an Employee’s service earned prior to a one-year Break in Service. (See Section 2.07(d) of the Plan if the One-Year Break in Service rule applies to Salary Deferrals.)
The One-Year Break in Service rule applies to all Employees, including Employees who have not terminated employment.
        (g) Special eligibility provisions.

(a)No exclusions.
(b)Elective Deferrals (as defined in Section 1.47 of the Plan), pre-tax contributions to a cafeteria plan or a Code §457 plan, and qualified transportation fringes under
Code §132(f)(4) are excluded.
(c) All fringe benefits (cash and noncash), reimbursements or other expense
allowances, moving expenses, deferred compensation, and welfare benefits are
excluded.
(d) Compensation above $     is excluded. (See Section 1.99 of the Plan.)
(e) Amounts received as a bonus are excluded.
(f) Amounts received as commissions are excluded.
(g) Overtime payments are excluded.
(h) Amounts received for services performed for a non-signatory Related Employer
are excluded. (See Section 2.02(c) of the Plan.)
[Note: If this subsection is not elected, amounts received for services performed
for a non-signatory Related Employer are INCLUDED in Plan Compensation.]
(i) “Deemed §125 compensation” as defined in Section 1.142(d) of the Plan.
(j) Amounts received after termination of employment are excluded. (See Section
1.142(b) of the Plan.)
(k) Differential Pay (as defined in Section 1.142(e) of the Plan).
(l) Describe adjustments to Plan Compensation: Other Bonuses, other than
 subjective bonuses payable under the Employer's management based objective
 plan;commissions other than those paid under the Employer's sales
 compensation; special pay    

[Note: Any exclusions selected under this AA §5-3 that do not meet the safe harbor exclusions under Treas. Reg. §1.414(s)-1, as described in Section 1.99(a) of the Plan, may cause the definition of Plan Compensation to fail to satisfy a safe harbor definition of compensation under Code §414(s). Certain exclusions above are safe harbor exclusions. (See Section 1.138 of the Plan.) Other exclusions may require the Plan to additional nondiscrimination testing, including the compensation ratio test under Treas. Reg.
§1.414(s)-1(d)(3). Failure to use a definition of Plan Compensation that satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §414(s) will cause the Plan to fail to qualify for any contribution safe harbors, such as the permitted disparity allocation or Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan safe harbors. Any adjustments to Plan Compensation under this AA §5-3 must be definitely determinable and preclude Employer discretion. See AA §6C-5 for the definition of Plan Compensation as it applies to Safe Harbor Contributions.]

5-4PERIOD FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION.
(a)Compensation Period. Plan Compensation will be determined on the basis of the following period(s) for the contribution sources identified in this AA §5-4. [Note: If a period other than Plan Year applies for any contribution source, any reference to the Plan Year as it refers to Plan Compensation for that contribution source will be deemed to be a reference to the period designated under this AA §5-4.]

(7)    Describe any special provisions that apply to a service-based contribution:     
[Note: Any period described in subsection (6) must apply uniformly to all Participants and cannot exceed a 12-month period. Any special provisions under subsection (7) may only describe the basis for determining a discretionary service- based contribution, such as a uniform dollar amount, and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code
§401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.]
(e)    Year of Service contribution. The Employer will make an Employer Contribution based on Years of Service with the Employer.

Years of Service

For this purpose, a Year of Service is each Plan Year during which an Employee completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service. Alternatively, a Year of Service is:     
[Note: Any alternative definition of a Year of Service must meet the requirements of a Year of Service as defined in Section 2.03 of the Plan.]
(f) Prevailing Wage Formula. The Employer will make a contribution for each Participant’s Prevailing Wage Service based on the hourly contribution rate for the Participant’s employment classification. (See Section 3.02(a)(5) of the Plan.)
(1)    Amount of contribution. The Employer will make an Employer Contribution based on the hourly contribution rate for the Participant’s employment classification. The Prevailing Wage Contribution will be determined as follows:
(i)    The Employer Contribution will be determined based on the required contribution rates for the employment classifications under the applicable federal, state or municipal prevailing wage laws. For any Employee performing Prevailing Wage Service, the Employer may make the required contribution for such service without designating the exact amount of such contribution.
(ii)        The Employer will make the Prevailing Wage Contribution based on the hourly contribution rates as set forth in the Addendum attached to this Adoption Agreement. However, if the required contribution under the applicable federal, state or municipal prevailing wage law provides for a greater contribution than set forth in the Addendum, the Employer may make the greater contribution as a Prevailing Wage Contribution.
(2)    Offset of other contributions. The contributions under the Prevailing Wage Formula will offset the following contributions under this Plan. (See Section 3.02(a)(5) of the Plan.)

(vi)    Qualified Matching Contributions (QMACs)
[Note: If subsection (ii) or (v) is checked, the Prevailing Wage contribution must satisfy the requirements for a Safe Harbor Contribution.]
(3) Modification of default rules. Section 3.02(a)(5) of the Plan contains default rules for administering the Prevailing Wage Formula. Complete this subsection (3) to modify the default provisions.
(i) Application to Highly Compensated Employees. Instead of applying only to Nonhighly Compensated Employees, the Prevailing Wage Formula applies to all eligible Participants, including Highly Compensated Employees.
(ii)    Minimum age and service conditions. Instead of no minimum age or service condition, Prevailing Wage contributions are subject to a one Year of Service (as defined in AA§4-3) and age 21 minimum age and service requirement with semi-annual Entry Dates.

(iii)    Allocation conditions. Instead of no allocation conditions, the Prevailing Wage contributions are subject to a 1,000 Hours of Service and last day employment allocation condition, as set forth under Section 3.09 of the Plan.
(iv)    Vesting. Instead of 100% immediate vesting, Prevailing Wage contributions will vest under the following vesting schedule (as defined in Section 7.02 of the Plan):
(A)    6-year graded vesting schedule
(B)    3-year cliff vesting schedule
(v)    Describe:     
[Note: Overriding the default provisions under this subsection (3) may restrict the ability of the Employer to take full credit for Prevailing Wage Contributions for purposes of satisfying its obligations under applicable federal, state or municipal prevailing wage laws. Subsection (v) may only describe modifications to the default provisions relating to minimum age and service conditions, Hour of Service and last day employment allocation conditions and vesting schedules, must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code
§401(a)(4) and should be consistent with the applicable federal, state or municipal prevailing wage laws. See Section 3.02(a)(5) of the Plan.]
(g)    Describe special rules for determining contributions under Plan:     
[Note: Any special rules must be described in a manner that precludes Employer discretion and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code §401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.]

6-3ALLOCATION FORMULA.
(a)    Pro rata allocation. The discretionary Employer Contribution under AA §6-2 will be allocated:
(1)    as a uniform percentage of Plan Compensation.
(2)    as a uniform dollar amount.
(b)    Fixed contribution. The fixed Employer Contribution under AA §6-2 will be allocated in accordance with the selections made with respect to fixed Employer Contributions under AA §6-2.
(c)    Permitted disparity allocation. The discretionary Employer Contribution under AA §6-2 will be allocated under the two-step method (as defined in Section 3.02(a)(1)(ii)(A) of the Plan), using the Taxable Wage Base (as defined in Section 1.137 of the Plan) as the Integration Level. However, for any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top Heavy, the four-step method (as defined in Section 3.02(a)(1)(ii)(B) of the Plan) applies, unless provided otherwise under subsection (2) below.
To modify these default rules, complete the appropriate provision(s) below.
(1)    Integration Level. Instead of the Taxable Wage Base, the Integration Level is:
(i)         % of the Taxable Wage Base, increased (but not above the Taxable Wage Base) to the next higher:

(A)
N/A
(B)
$1
(C)
$100
(D)
$1,000
(ii)    $     (not to exceed the Taxable Wage Base)
(iii)    20% of the Taxable Wage Base
[Note: See Section 3.02(a)(1)(ii) of the Plan for rules regarding the Maximum Disparity Rate that may be used where an Integration Level other than the Taxable Wage Base is selected.]
The Maximum Disparity Rate is the maximum amount that may be allocated with respect to Excess Compensation. If the two-step allocation method is used, under step one of the two-step formula, the amount allocated as a percentage of Plan Compensation and Excess Compensation may not exceed the following percentage:

Integration Level    Maximum
(as a percentage of the Taxable Wage Base)    Disparity Rate 100%        5.7%
More than 80% but less than 100%    5.4%
More than 20% and not more than 80%    4.3%
20% or less    5.7%

The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgSection 6 – Employer Contributions
If the four-step allocation formula is used, under step three of the four-step formula, the amount allocated as a percentage of Plan Compensation and Excess Compensation may not exceed the following percentage:

Integration Level
 (as a percentage of the Taxable Wage Base)
Maximum
Disparity Rate
100%
2.7%
More than 80% but less than 100%
2.4%
More than 20% and not more than 80%
1.3%
20% or less
2.7%
(2)
Four-step method.
(i)    Instead of applying only when the Plan is top heavy, the four-step method will always be used.
(ii)    The four-step method will never be used, even if the Plan is Top Heavy.
(iii) In applying step one and step two under the four-step method, instead of using Total Compensation, the Plan will use Plan Compensation. (See Section 3.02(a)(1)(ii)(B) of the Plan.)
(d) Uniform points allocation. The discretionary Employer Contribution designated in AA §6-2 will be allocated to each Participant in the ratio that each Participant's total points bears to the total points of all Participants. A Participant will receive the following points:
(1)         point(s) for each     year(s) of age (attained as of the end of the Plan Year).
(2)         point(s) for each $     (not to exceed $200) of Plan Compensation.
(3)         point(s) for each     Year(s) of Service. For this purpose, Years of Service are determined:
(i)    In the same manner as determined for eligibility.
(ii)    In the same manner as determined for vesting.
(iii)    Points will not be provided with respect to Years of Service in excess of     .
(e)    Employee group allocation. The Employer may make a separate Employer Contribution to the Participants in the following allocation groups. The Employer must notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the contribution to be allocated to each allocation group.
(1)    A separate discretionary Employer Contribution may be made to each Participant of the Employer (i.e., each Participant is in his/her own allocation group).
(2)    A separate discretionary or fixed Employer Contribution may be made to the following allocation groups. If no fixed amount is designated for a particular allocation group, the contribution made for such allocation group will be allocated as a uniform percentage of Plan Compensation to all Participants within that allocation group, unless otherwise designated as a uniform dollar amount below.
The contribution made for each allocation group will be allocated as a uniform dollar amount to all Participants within the allocation group.
Group 1:     
[Note: The allocation groups designated above must be clearly defined in a manner that will not violate the definite allocation formula requirement of Treas. Reg. §1.401-1(b)(1)(ii). See Section 3.02(a)(1)(iv)(B)(V) of the Plan for restrictions that apply with respect to “short-service” Employees. In the case of self-employed individuals (i.e., sole proprietorships or partnerships), the requirements of 1.401(k)-1(a)(6) continue to apply, and the allocation method should not be such that a cash or deferred election is created for a self-employed individual as a result of application of the allocation method.]
(3)    Special rules. The following special rules apply to the Employee group allocation formula.
(i)    Family Members. In determining the separate groups under (2) above, each Family Member (as defined in Section 1.66 of the Plan) of a Five Percent Owner is always in a separate allocation group. If there is more than one Family Member, each Family Member will be in a separate allocation group.
(ii)    Benefiting Participants who do not receive Minimum Gateway Contribution. In determining the separate groups under (2) above, Benefiting Participants who do not receive a Minimum Gateway Contribution are always in a separate allocation group. If there is more than one Benefiting Participant who does not receive a Minimum Gateway Contribution, each will be in a separate allocation group. (See Section 3.02(a)(1)(iv)(B)(III) of the Plan.)
(iii)    More than one Employee group. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection (iii), if a Participant is in more than one allocation group described in (2) above during the Plan Year, the Participant will receive an Employer Contribution based on the Participant’s status on the last day of the Plan Year. (See Section 3.02(a)(1)(iv)(A) of the Plan.)

The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgSection 6 – Employer Contributions
(A)    Determined separately for each Employee group. If a Participant is in more than one allocation group during the Plan Year, the Participant’s share of the Employer Contribution will be based on the Participant’s status for the part of the year the Participant is in each allocation group.
(B)    Describe:     
[Note: This subsection (B) may only describe the amount of the Employer Contribution a Participant will receive when such Participant is in more than one allocation group. Any language under this subsection (B) must be definitely determinable and may not violate the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(f)    Age-based allocation. The discretionary Employer Contribution designated in AA §6-2 will be allocated under the age- based allocation formula so that each Participant receives a pro rata allocation based on adjusted Plan Compensation. For this purpose, a Participant’s adjusted Plan Compensation is determined by multiplying the Participant’s Plan Compensation by an Actuarial Factor (as described in Section 1.04 of the Plan).
A Participant’s Actuarial Factor is determined based on a specified interest rate and mortality table. Unless designated otherwise under (1) or (2) below, the Plan will use an applicable interest rate of 8.5% and a UP-1984 mortality table.
(1)    Applicable interest rate. Instead of 8.5%, the Plan will use an interest rate of     % (must be between 7.5% and 8.5%) in determining a Participant’s Actuarial Factor.
(2)    Applicable mortality table. Instead of the UP-1984 mortality table, the Plan will use the following mortality table in determining a Participant’s Actuarial Factor:     
(3)    Describe special rules applicable to age-based allocation:     
[Note: See Appendix A of the Plan for sample Actuarial Factors based on an 8.5% applicable interest rate and the UP-1984 mortality table. If an interest rate or mortality table other than 8.5% or UP-1984 is selected, appropriate Actuarial Factors must be calculated. Any alternative interest or mortality factors must meet the requirements for standard interest and mortality assumptions as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(4)-12. Any special rules described under subsection (3) may only describe an alternative method for determining adjusted Plan Compensation and may not violate the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4). In addition, subsection (3) may describe a definitely determinable allocation method that was specified in a previously-approved pre-approved plan document.]
(g)    Service-based allocation formula. The service-based Employer Contribution selected in AA §6-2 will be allocated in accordance with the selections made under the service-based allocation formula in AA §6-2.
(h)    Year of Service allocation formula. The Year of Service Employer Contribution selected in AA §6-2 will be allocated in accordance with the selections made under the Year of Service allocation formula in AA §6-2.
(i) Prevailing Wage allocation formula. The Prevailing Wage Employer Contribution selected in AA §6-2 will be allocated in accordance with the selections made under the Prevailing Wage allocation formula in AA §6-2. The Employer may attach an Addendum to the Adoption Agreement setting forth the hourly contribution rate for the employment classifications eligible for Prevailing Wage contributions.
(j)    Describe special rules for determining allocation formula:     
[Note: This subsection (j) may only be used to describe a definite allocation formula that was included in a previously- approved pre-approved plan. Any special rules under this subsection must be described in a manner that precludes Employer discretion and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code §401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.]

(2) calendar month
(3) payroll period
(4) Other:     
[Note: Although Employer Contributions are determined on the basis of Plan Compensation earned during the period designated under this subsection, this does not require the Employer to actually make contributions or allocate contributions on the basis of such period. Employer Contributions may be contributed and allocated to Participants at any time within the contribution period permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.415(c)-1(b)(6)(B), regardless of the period selected under this subsection. Any alternative period designated under subsection (4) may not exceed a 12-month period and will apply uniformly to all Participants.]

[Note: Any percentage or dollar limit imposed on Nonhighly Compensated Employees under (i) and/or (ii) above may not be lower than the percentage or dollar limit imposed on Highly Compensated Employees under
(a) above. If both (i) and (ii) are checked, the deferral limit is the lesser of the amounts selected.]
(c)    Limits on deferrals on bonus payments. [Note: This subsection may only be selected if bonus payments are not excluded under AA §5-3.]
(1) The same limits specified above apply to bonus and non-bonus Plan Compensation. Employees may defer any amounts out of bonus payments, subject to the Elective Deferral Dollar Limit and the Code §415 Limitation (as defined in Sections 5.02 and 5.03 of the Plan) and any other limit on Salary Deferrals under this AA 6A-2. The Employer may impose special limits on bonus payments under the Salary Deferral Election. (See Section 3.03(a) of the Plan.)
(2) A Participant may defer up to     % (not to exceed 100%) of any bonus payment (subject to the Elective Deferral Dollar Limit and the Code §415 Limitation) without regard to any other limits described under this AA
§6A-2. The Employer may impose special limits on bonus payments under the Salary Deferral Election. (See Section 3.03(a) of the Plan.)
(3) Describe special rules applicable to deferrals on bonus payments:     
[Note: If any selection under this subsection is checked, bonus payments may not be excluded from Plan Compensation in the Deferral column under AA §5-3.]

6A-3 MINIMUM DEFERRAL RATE. Unless designated otherwise under this AA §6A-3, no minimum deferral requirement applies under the Plan. Alternatively, a Participant must defer at least the following amount in order to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan.
(a)         % of Plan Compensation for a payroll period.
(b)    $     for a payroll period.
(c)    Describe: D eferrals are permitted from 1-100% in increments of 0.5%.    
[Note: If more than one limit applies under this AA §6A-3, the minimum deferral rate is the lesser of the amounts designated under this AA §6A-3. Any minimum deferral rates provided under this AA §6A-3 must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]

6A-4 CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS. Catch-Up Contributions (as defined in Section 3.03(d) of the Plan) are permitted under the Plan, unless designated otherwise under this AA §6A-4.
Catch-Up Contributions are not permitted under the Plan.

6A-5 ROTH DEFERRALS.
(a)Availability of Roth Deferrals.
(1) Roth Deferrals are permitted under the Plan.
(2) Roth Deferrals are not permitted under the Plan.
[Note: If Roth Deferrals are effective as of a date later than the Effective Date of the Plan, designate such special Effective Date in AA §6A-9 below.]
(b)Distribution of Roth Deferrals. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection, to the extent a Participant takes a distribution or withdrawal from his/her Salary Deferral Account(s), the Participant may designate the extent to which such distribution is taken from the Pre-Tax Deferral Account or from the Roth Deferral Account. (As described under Section 8.11(b)(2) of the Plan, if a Participant fails to designate the appropriate Account for corrective distributions from the Plan, such distribution may be withdrawn equally from both the Pre-Tax Salary Deferral Account and the Roth Deferral Account, or the Employer may withdraw such amounts first from either the Pre-Tax Salary Deferral Account or the Roth Deferral Account.)
Alternatively, the Employer may designate the order of distributions for the distribution types listed below:
(1)    Distributions and withdrawals.
(i)    Any distribution will be taken on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Pre-Tax Deferral Account and Roth Deferral Account.
(ii)    Any distribution will be taken first from the Participant’s Roth Deferral Account and then from the Participant’s Pre-Tax Deferral Account.

(2)    Distribution of Excess Deferrals.
(i)    Distribution of Excess Deferrals will be made from Roth and Pre-Tax Deferral Accounts in the same proportion that deferrals were allocated to such Accounts for the calendar year.
(ii)    Distribution of Excess Deferrals will be made first from the Roth Deferral Account and then from the Pre-Tax Deferral Account.
(iii)    Distribution of Excess Deferrals will be made first from the Pre-Tax Deferral Account and then from the Roth Deferral Account.
(3)    Distribution of Salary Deferrals to Highly Compensated Employees to correct ADP or ACP Test failure.
(i)    Distribution of Excess Contributions (or Excess Aggregate Contributions) will be made from Roth and Pre-Tax Deferral Accounts in the same proportion that deferrals were allocated to such Accounts for the Plan Year.
(ii)    Distribution of Excess Contributions (or Excess Aggregate Contributions) will be made first from the Roth Deferral Account and then from the Pre-Tax Deferral Account.
(iii)    Distribution of Excess Contributions (or Excess Aggregate Contributions) will be made first from the Pre-Tax Deferral Account and then from the Roth Deferral Account.

Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001



The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgSection 6A – Salary Deferrals
(c)In-Plan Roth Conversions. Unless elected under this subsection, the Plan does not permit a Participant to make an In- Plan Roth Conversion under the Plan.
(1)    Effective date. Effective     [not earlier than 1/1/2013], a Participant may elect to convert all or any portion of his/her non-Roth vested Account Balance to an In-Plan Roth Conversion Account.
[Note: The Plan must provide for Roth Deferrals under AA §6A-5 as of the effective date designated in this subsection (1). An election under this subsection does not affect an In-Plan Roth Conversion that was allowed under prior Plan provisions.]
(2)In-service distribution.
(i)    For a Participant to convert his/her eligible contributions to Roth Deferrals through an In-Plan Roth Conversion, the Participant need not be eligible to take a distribution from the Plan. [Note: If this subsection (i) is checked, a Participant may convert any or all of the eligible contribution sources to Roth Deferrals through an In-Plan Roth Conversion.]
(ii)    For a Participant to convert his/her eligible contributions to Roth Deferrals through an In-Plan Roth Conversion, a Participant must be eligible for a distribution of any amounts converted to Roth Deferrals through an In-Plan Roth Conversion. Thus, only amounts that are eligible for distribution under AA §9 or AA §10 are eligible for In-Plan Roth Conversion.
(3)Contribution sources. An Employee may elect to make an In-Plan Roth Conversion from all available contribution sources under the Plan.
To override this default provision to limit the contributions sources available for In-Plan Roth Conversion, select the applicable contribution sources from which an In-Plan Roth Conversion is available:
(i)    Pre-tax Salary Deferrals
(ii)    Employer Contributions
(iii)    Matching Contributions
(iv)    Safe Harbor Contributions
(v)    QNECs and QMACs
(vi)    After-Tax Contributions
(vii)    Rollover Contributions
(4)Limits applicable to In-Plan Roth Conversions. No special limits apply with respect to In-Plan Roth Conversions, unless designated otherwise under this subsection.
(i)    Roth conversions may only be made from contribution sources that are fully vested (i.e., 100% vested).
[Note: If an In-Plan Roth Conversion is permitted from partially-vested sources, special rules apply for determining the vested percentage of such amounts after conversion. See Section 7.11 of the Plan.]
(ii)    A Participant may not make an In-Plan Roth Conversion of less than $     (may not exceed $1,000).
(iii)    A Participant may not make an In-Plan Roth Conversion of any outstanding loan amount.
[Note: If this subsection (iii) is not checked, a Participant may convert amounts that are attributable to an outstanding loan, to the extent the loan relates to a contribution source that is eligible for conversion under subsection (3) above.]
(iv)    Describe:     
[Note: Any selection in subsection (iv) must be definitely determinable and not subject to Employer discretion.]

(5)Amounts available to pay federal and state taxes generated from an In-Plan Roth Conversion. No special provisions apply to allow Participants to withdraw funds to pay federal or state taxes generated from an In-Plan Roth Conversion, except as provided otherwise under this subsection.
(i)    In-service distribution. If the Plan does not otherwise permit an in-service distribution at the time of the In-Plan Roth Conversion and this subsection (i) is checked, a Participant may elect to take an in-service distribution solely to pay taxes generated from the In-Plan Roth Conversion to the extent such in-service distribution would otherwise be permitted under Section 8.10 of the Plan.
[Note: If this subsection (i) is checked, a Participant may take an in-service distribution only to the extent such distribution would otherwise be permitted under the provisions of Section 8.10 of the Plan. Thus, for example, a Participant may not take an in-service distribution of amounts attributable to Salary Deferrals (including any QNECs, QMACs or Safe Harbor contributions) prior to age 59½.]
(ii)    Participant loan. Generally, a Participant may request a loan from the Plan to the extent permitted under Section 13 of the Plan and AA Appendix B. However, to the extent a Participant loan is not otherwise allowed, and this subsection (ii) is selected, a Participant may receive a Participant loan solely to pay taxes generated from an In-Plan Roth Conversion.
[Note: If this subsection (ii) is selected, and Participant loans are not otherwise authorized under the Plan, any Participant loan made pursuant to this subsection (ii) will be made in accordance with the default loan policy described in Section 13 of the Plan.]
(6)Distribution from In-Plan Roth Conversion Account. Distributions from the In-Plan Roth Conversion Account will be permitted at the same time as permitted for Roth Deferrals, as set forth under AA §10-1, unless designated otherwise under this subsection. However, earlier distribution of certain converted amounts may be required to the extent necessary to protect distribution options that were available with respect to such converted amounts prior to the In-Plan Roth Conversion.
(i)        In-service distributions will not be permitted from an In-Plan Roth Conversion Account. However, as set forth in Section 3.03(f)(1)(vi) of the Plan, a distribution must continue to be offered for any converted amounts as of the earliest date a distribution would otherwise be permitted for such converted amounts, had they not been converted.
(ii)    An in-service distribution may be made from the In-Plan Roth Conversion Account at any time.
(iii)    Describe distribution options:     
[Note: This subsection (6) may not be used to eliminate an in-service distribution option that was otherwise available at the time of the In-Plan Roth Conversion. Thus, for example, if a Participant is permitted to make an In-Plan Roth Conversion of After-Tax Employee Contributions or Rollover Contributions, and such contributions are eligible for immediate distribution at the time of the In-Plan Roth Conversion, those amounts must continue to be available for distribution after the In-Plan Roth Conversion. To the extent a selection in this subsection (6) results in an improper elimination of a distribution right, the provisions of this subsection (6) will not apply.]
(d)    Describe any special rules that apply to Roth Deferrals under the Plan:     
[Note: Any special rules must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]

6A-6 ADP TESTING. The ADP Test will be performed using the testing method designated below: (See Section 6.01(a) of the Plan.)
[Note: If the Plan is a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan (as designated in AA §6C below), the Plan must use the Current Year Testing Method. Thus, for any year the Plan is a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan, the Current Year Testing Method applies, regardless of any selection under this AA §6A-6.]
(a)    Current Year Testing Method. The Plan will use the Current Year Testing Method in running the ADP test. If the Current Year Testing Method is elected, the ADP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year is calculated using current year data, unless otherwise designated below.
Deemed 3% used for first Plan Year. Instead of using actual current year data for the first Plan Year, the ADP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year the 401(k) Plan is effective is deemed to be 3%.

The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgSection 6A – Salary Deferrals
(b)    Prior Year Testing Method. The Plan will use the Prior Year Testing Method in running the ADP Test. If the Prior Year Testing Method is elected, the ADP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year is deemed to be 3%, unless otherwise designated below.
Current year data used for first Plan Year. Instead of deeming the ADP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group to be 3% for the first Plan Year for which the 401(k) Plan is effective, the Plan will use the actual current year data for the first Plan Year.
(c) Application of Current Year Testing Method. The Current Year Testing Method has applied since the Plan Year. [Note: If the Plan has switched from the Prior Year Testing Method to the Current Year Testing Method, this subsection may be checked to designate the first Plan Year for which the Current Year Testing Method applies.]

6A-7 SALARY DEFERRAL ELECTIONS.
(a)Change or revocation of deferral election. In addition to the Participant’s Entry Date under the Plan, a Participant’s election to change or resume a deferral election will be effective as set forth under the Salary Reduction Agreement or other written procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator. A Participant must be permitted to change or revoke a deferral election at least once per year. Unless the Salary Reduction Agreement or other written procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator provide otherwise, a Participant may revoke a deferral election (on a prospective basis) at any time.
(b)Salary deferral elections of rehired Participants. Unless designated otherwise below, a Participant’s affirmative election to defer (or to not defer) will cease upon termination of employment and the Participant will need to make a new election upon rehire. [Note: If this Plan is a QACA Safe Harbor Plan, the Employer must make an election that is consistent with the election in AA §6C-3(c)(5).]
Participant’s affirmative election does not cease upon termination of employment. If this subsection (b) is selected, a terminated Participant’s affirmative election to defer (or to not defer) will not cease upon termination of employment and the Participant’s affirmative election to defer (or to not defer) in effect at the time of employment termination will apply upon rehire.
[Note: The Employer may modify the rules applicable to rehired employees under the Salary Reduction Agreement or other administrative procedures.]

6A-8 AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENT (other than a QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan). No automatic contribution provisions apply under Section 3.03(c) of the Plan, unless provided otherwise under this AA §6A-8. (If the Employer wishes to adopt a QACA Safe Harbor Plan, the Employer should not complete this AA §6A-8 and instead complete AA §6C-3.)
(a)    Type of Automatic Contribution Arrangement.
(1)    Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement. Check this subsection (1) if the Employer intends for the Plan to be an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement (EACA), as described in Section 3.03(c)(2). If this subsection (1) is checked, the selections in this AA §6A-8 must be consistent with the requirements of an EACA. As an EACA, the Employer also must complete AA §6A-8(c) relating to permissible withdrawals.
(2)    Automatic Contribution Arrangement other than an EACA. Check this subsection (2) if the Employer intends for the Plan to be an Automatic Contribution Arrangement other than an EACA.
(b)    Automatic deferral election. Upon becoming eligible to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan (pursuant to AA §3 and AA §4), a Participant will be deemed to have entered into a Salary Deferral Election for each payroll period, unless the Participant completes a Salary Deferral Election (subject to the limitations under AA §6A-2 and AA §6A-3) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.
(1)    Effective date of Automatic Contribution Arrangement or EACA. The automatic deferral provisions under this AA §6A-8 are effective as of:
(i)    The Effective Date of this Plan as set forth under the Employer Signature Page.
(ii)         [insert date no earlier than the Effective Date of this Plan]
(iii)    As set forth under a prior Plan document. [Note: If this subsection (iii) is checked, the automatic deferral provisions under this AA §6A-8 will apply as of the original Effective Date of the automatic contribution arrangement. Unless provided otherwise under this AA §6A-8, an Employee who is automatically enrolled under a prior Plan document will continue to be automatically enrolled under the current Plan document.]
(iv)    If the Employer is amending the provisions applicable to the ACA or EACA, the amended provisions are effective as of     [insert date]
(2)    Automatic Contribution Arrangement deferral amount and automatic increase.

(i)    Automatic deferral amount.
(A)    3        % of Plan Compensation
(B)    $     
(ii)    Automatic increase. If elected under this subsection (ii), the automatic deferral amount will increase each Plan Year by the following amount. (See Section 3.03(c) of the Plan.)
(A)    1        % of Plan Compensation
(B)    $     
(C)    If this (C) and subsection (3)(iii) below (relating to the expiration of affirmative deferral elections) are both elected, the automatic increase will apply to all Participants, including those Participants whose affirmative deferral elections have expired and no subsequent affirmative election is made.
Any automatic increase elected under this subsection (ii) will not cause the automatic deferral amount to exceed:
(D)    1 0    % of Plan Compensation
(E)    $     
(iii)    Special application of automatic increase provisions. The Employer may describe under this subsection (iii) special rules applicable to automatic increase provisions:     
[Note: Any special application of the automatic increase provisions must be definitely determinable and must not discrimination in favor of Highly Compensated Employees.]
(3)Application of automatic deferral provisions. The automatic deferral election under subsection (2) will apply to new Participants (i.e., Participants who enter the Plan after the automatic deferral provisions are effective) and current Participants (i.e., Participants who were eligible to participate in the Plan at the time the automatic deferral provisions are effective) as set forth under this subsection (3).
(i)New Participants. The automatic deferral provisions apply to all Participants who become eligible on or after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions.
(ii)Current Participants. The automatic deferral provisions apply to all other eligible Participants as follows:
(A)    Automatic deferral provisions apply to all current Participants who have not entered into a Salary Deferral Election (including an election not to defer under the Plan).
(B)    Automatic deferral provisions apply to all current Participants who have not entered into a Salary Deferral Election that is at least equal to the automatic deferral amount under subsection (2)(i). Current Participants who have made a Salary Deferral Election that is less than the automatic deferral amount, or who have not made a Salary Deferral Election, will automatically be increased to the automatic deferral amount unless the Participant enters into a new Salary Deferral election on or after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions.
(C) Automatic deferral provisions do not apply to current Participants. Only new Participants described in subsection (3)(i) are subject to the automatic deferral provisions. [Note: See Section 3.03(c)(2)(i) of the Plan for the application of this subsection under an EACA.]
(D)    Describe:     
[Note: Any special provisions under subsection (D) must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(iii)    Expiration of affirmative deferral elections. Unless this subsection (iii) is elected, for purposes of the automatic deferral provisions of the Plan, a Participant’s affirmative elective deferral election will not expire. If this subsection (iii) is elected, a Participant’s affirmative deferral election will expire:
(A)    at the end of each Plan Year.
(B)    Describe date that the affirmative election will expire:     
[Note: The date must be definite and not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees.]

Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001




The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgSection 6A – Salary Deferrals
If a Participant fails to complete a new affirmative deferral election subsequent to the prior election expiring, the Participant becomes subject to the automatic deferral percentage as specified in the Plan pursuant to the automatic contribution arrangement provisions. Each year, the Participant can always complete a new affirmative election and designate a new deferral percentage.
(iv)Treatment of automatic deferrals. Any Salary Deferrals made pursuant to an automatic deferral election will be treated as Pre-Tax Salary Deferrals, unless designated otherwise under this subsection (iv).
Any Salary Deferrals made pursuant to an automatic deferral election will be treated as Roth Deferrals. [Note: This subsection (iv) may only be checked if Roth Deferrals are permitted under AA §6A-5.]
[Note: Any Salary Deferral Election (including an election not to defer under the Plan) made after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions will override such automatic deferral provisions. See Section 6.04(b)(1)(iii) of the Plan for the application of this provision to rehired Employees.]
(4)Application of automatic increase. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection (4), if an automatic increase is selected under subsection (2)(ii) above, the automatic increase will take effect as of the first day of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant. (See Section 3.03(c)(2)(i) of the Plan.)
(i)    First Plan Year. Instead of applying as of the second Plan Year, the automatic increase described in subsection (2)(ii) takes effect as of the appropriate date (as designated under subsection (iii) below) within the first Plan Year following the date automatic contributions begin.
(ii)    Designated Plan Year. Instead of applying as of the second Plan Year, the automatic increase described in subsection (2)(ii) takes effect as of the appropriate date (as designated under subsection
(iii) below) within the     Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant.
(iii)    Effective date. The automatic increase described under subsection (2)(ii) is generally effective as of the first day of the Plan Year. If this subsection (iii) is checked, instead of becoming effective on the first day of the Plan Year, the automatic increase will be effective on:
(A)    The anniversary of the Participant's date of hire.
(B)    The anniversary of the Participant's first automatic deferral contribution.
(C)    The first day of each calendar year.
(D)    Other date: On or around April 1    
(iv)    Special rules:     
[Note: Any special rules under this subsection (iv) must satisfy the rules applicable to automatic increases under Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-3, if applicable, and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(5)Treatment of terminated Employees who are rehired. Unless designated otherwise below, in applying the automatic deferral provisions under this AA§6A-8, including the automatic increase provisions, a rehired Participant is treated as a new Employee (regardless of the amount of time since the rehired Employee terminated employment).
(i) Rehired Employees not treated as new Employee. In applying the automatic deferral provisions under this AA§6A-8, including the automatic increase provisions, a rehired Participant is not treated as a new Employee. Thus, for example, a rehired Participant’s deferral percentage will be calculated based on the date the individual first began making automatic deferrals under the Plan.
(ii) Describe special rules applicable to rehired employees:     
[Note: Any special rules under this subsection (ii) must satisfy the rules applicable to automatic enrollment under Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1, if applicable, and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(c)    Permissible Withdrawals under an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement (EACA).
(1)    Permissible withdrawals allowed. If the Plan satisfies the requirements for an EACA (as set forth in Section 3.03(c)(2) of the Plan), the permissible withdrawal provisions under Section 3.03(c)(2) of the Plan apply. Thus, a Participant who receives an automatic deferral may withdraw such contributions (and earnings attributable thereto) within the time period set forth under Section 3.03(c)(2) of the Plan, without regard to the in-service distribution provisions selected under AA §10-1. Unless elected otherwise below, if an Employee

does not make automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year (e.g., due to termination of employment), the Plan may allow such Employee to take a permissive withdrawal, but only with respect to default contributions made after the Employee’s return to employment.
The ability to take permissible withdrawals does not apply to rehired Employees, even if such Employees have not made automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year due to termination of employment.
(2)    No permissible withdrawals. Although the Plan contains an automatic deferral election that is designed to satisfy the requirements of an EACA, the permissible withdrawal provisions under this subsection (c) are not available.
(3)        Time period for electing a permissible withdrawal. Instead of a 90-day election period, a Participant must request a permissible withdrawal no later than     [may not be less than 30 nor more than 90] days after the date the Plan Compensation from which such Salary Deferrals are withheld would otherwise have been included in gross income.
(d)    Other automatic deferral provisions:     
[Note: Any language added under this subsection must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code
§401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.]

6A-9 SPECIAL DEFERRAL EFFECTIVE DATES. Unless designated otherwise under this AA §6A-9, a Participant is eligible to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan as of the Effective Date of the Plan (as designated on the Employer Signature Page).
However, in no case may a Participant begin making Salary Deferrals prior to the later of the date the Employee becomes a Participant, the date the Participant executes a Salary Reduction Agreement or the date the Plan is adopted or effective. (See Section 3.03(a) of the Plan.)
To designate a later Effective Date for Salary Deferrals or Roth Deferrals, complete this AA §6A-9.
(a)    Salary Deferrals. A Participant is eligible to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan as of:
(1)    the date the Plan is executed by the Employer (as indicated on the Employer Signature Page).

(b)    Roth Deferrals. The Roth Deferral provisions under AA §6A-5 are effective as of     . [If Roth Deferrals are permitted under AA §6A-5 above, Roth Deferrals are effective as of the Effective Date applicable to Salary Deferrals under this AA §6A-9, unless a later date is designated under this subsection.]

6A-10 SIMPLE 401(k) PLAN PROVISIONS. The SIMPLE 401(k) provisions under Section 6.05 of the Plan do not apply unless specifically elected under this AA §6A-10.
(a)    By checking this box the Employer elects to have the SIMPLE 401(k) provisions described in Section 6.05 of the Plan apply.
(1)    Employer will make Matching Contributions under Section 6.05(b)(3) of the Plan.
(2)    Employer will make Employer Contributions under Section 6.05(b)(4) of the Plan.
(b)    Other SIMPLE 401(k) provisions:     
[Note: This AA §6A-10 may only be checked if the Plan uses a calendar-year Plan Year and the Employer is an Eligible Employer as defined in Section 6.05(a)(1) of the Plan. All contributions under the SIMPLE 401(k) Plan are 100% vested at all times. If this AA §6A-10 is selected, no contributions may be authorized under AA §6 and AA §6B- §6D. Any special rules under subsection (b) must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]

The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgSection 6B – Matching Contributions
6B-2 MATCHING CONTRIBUTION FORMULA. For the period designated in AA §6B-5 below, the Employer will make the following Matching Contribution on behalf of Participants who satisfy the allocation conditions under AA §6B-7 below. (See AA
§6B-3 for the definition of Eligible Contributions for purposes of the Matching Contributions under the Plan. If the Plan provides for After-Tax Employee Contributions, also see AA §6D-2 to determine the application of the Matching Contribution formulas to After-Tax Employee Contributions.)
[Note: A contribution will not be considered a Matching Contribution if such contribution is contributed before the underlying Salary Deferral or After-Tax Employee Contribution election is made or before an Employee performs the services with respect to which the underlying Salary Deferrals or After-Tax Employee Contributions are made (or when the cash that is subject to such election would be currently available, if earlier).]
(a)    Discretionary match. The Employer will determine in its sole discretion how much, if any, it will make as a Matching Contribution. Such amount will be allocated as a uniform percentage of Eligible Contributions, unless designated otherwise below. (See AA §6B-5 relating to period for determining Matching Contributions and true-up requirements.)
(1)    Discretionary matching contributions will be allocated as a flat dollar amount.
(2)    Allocation of discretionary Matching Contribution determined by written instructions to Plan Administrator (or Trustee). If a discretionary Matching Contribution formula applies (i.e., a formula that provides an Employer with discretion regarding how to allocate a Matching Contribution to Participants) and the Employer makes a discretionary Matching Contribution to the Plan, the Employer must provide the Plan Administrator (or Trustee, if applicable), written instructions describing: (1) how the discretionary Matching Contribution formula will be allocated to Participants (e.g., a uniform percentage of Eligible Contributions or a flat dollar amount), (2) the computation period(s) to which the discretionary Matching Contribution formula applies (unless otherwise designated under AA §6B-5), and (3) if applicable, a description of each business location or business classification subject to separate discretionary Matching Contribution allocation formulas.
Such instructions must be provided no later than the date on which the discretionary Matching Contribution is made to the Plan. A summary of these instructions must be communicated to Participants who receive discretionary Matching Contributions no later than 60 days following the last date on which the discretionary Matching Contribution is made to the Plan for the Plan Year. If this AA §6B-2(a)(2) is elected, the written instruction requirement does not take effect until the first day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which this Plan’s Cycle 3 restatement is executed.
(b)    Fixed match. The Employer will make a Matching Contribution for each Participant equal to:
(1)         % of Eligible Contributions made for each period designated in AA §6B-5 below.
(2)    $     for each period designated in AA §6B-5 below.
(3)         % of Eligible Contributions made for each period designated in AA §6B-5 below. However, to receive the Matching Contribution for a given period, a Participant must contribute Eligible Contributions equal to at least     % of Plan Compensation for such period.
(4)    $     for each period designated in AA §6B-5 below. However, to receive the Matching Contribution for a given period, a Participant must contribute Eligible Contributions equal to at least     % of Plan Compensation for such period.
(c)    Matching Contributions under Collective Bargaining Agreement, employment contract or equivalent arrangement. The Employer will make a Matching Contribution based on a Collective Bargaining Agreement, employment agreement or equivalent arrangement as follows:     
[Note: Insert the appropriate Matching Contribution formula from the Collective Bargaining Agreement, employment agreement or equivalent arrangement. The formula must be definitely determinable as required under Treas. Reg.
§1.401-1.]
(d)    Tiered match. The Employer will make a Matching Contribution to all Participants based on the following tiers of Eligible Contributions. If discretionary Match is elected, the discretionary Matching Contribution will be allocated as a uniform percentage of Eligible Contributions within each tier.

[Note: If the Employer elects to make tiered Matching Contributions under subsection (1) or (2) above, funding will be made in the following non-discretionary order. First, all Matching Contributions under the first tier will be completely funded, but if the Employer’s contribution is not sufficient to fully fund those contributions, then Matching Contributions will be made as a uniform percentage of eligible Participant contributions. Then, all Matching Contributions under the second tier will be fully funded, but if the Employer’s contribution is not sufficient to fully fund the second-tier contributions, then Matching Contributions at the second tier will be made as a uniform percentage of eligible Participant contributions. The same approach will be followed for the third and fourth tiers.]
(3)    Discretionary tiered match. The Employer will determine in its sole discretion how much, if any, it will make as a tiered Matching Contribution. (See AA §6B-5 relating to period for determining Matching Contributions and true-up requirements.)
[Note: If the Plan is designed to satisfy the ACP safe harbor with respect to the Matching Contributions, the rate of Matching Contribution may not increase as the rate of Eligible Contributions increases.]
(e)    Year of Service match. The Employer will make a Matching Contribution as a uniform percentage of Eligible Contributions to all Participants based on Years of Service with the Employer. If discretionary Match is elected, the discretionary Matching Contribution will be allocated as a uniform percentage of Eligible Contributions within each Year of Service level.

[Note: Each separate rate of Matching Contribution must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(4)-4 as a separate benefit, right or feature.]
(g)    Describe special rules for determining allocation formula:     
[Note: Any special rules may not provide for a discretionary Matching Contribution allocation formula and must be described in a manner that precludes Employer discretion and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Code
§401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.]

6B-3 CONTRIBUTIONS ELIGIBLE FOR MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS (“ELIGIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS”). Unless
designated otherwise under this AA §6B-3, all Salary Deferrals, including any Roth Deferrals and Catch-Up Contributions, are eligible for the Matching Contributions designated under AA §6B-2.
(a)    Matching Contributions. Only the following contribution sources are eligible for a Matching Contribution under AA
§6B-2:
(1)    Pre-tax Salary Deferrals
(2)    Roth Deferrals
(3)    Catch-Up Contributions
[Note: Any amounts excluded under this subsection do not apply to Safe Harbor Matching Contributions under AA
§6C-2. See AA §6D-2 to determine eligibility of After-Tax Employee Contributions for Matching Contributions.]
(b)    Application of Matching Contributions to elective deferrals made under another plan maintained by the Employer. If this subsection is checked, the Matching Contributions described in AA §6B-2 will apply to elective deferrals made under another plan maintained by the Employer.

(2)    The following special rules apply in determining the amount of Matching Contributions under this Plan with respect to elective deferrals under the plan described in subsection (1):     
[Note: This subsection (2) may be used to describe special provisions applicable to Matching Contributions provided with respect to elective deferrals under another plan maintained by the Employer, including another qualified plan, Code §403(b) plan or Code §457(b) plan.]
(c)Calculation of Matching Contributions if Plan uses dual eligibility and/or different entry dates. Unless designated otherwise below, if the Plan has dual eligibility and/or different entry dates (or the Employer chooses to use the Plan’s optional true-up provisions), the Matching Contribution formula(s) will be based on Eligible Contributions and Plan Compensation for the period designated under AA §6B-5.
The Plan will make Matching Contributions only on Salary Deferrals and After-Tax Employee Contributions (if applicable) made after the Participant becomes eligible for Matching Contributions, regardless of the period designated under AA §6B-5. [Note: The election of this option may require additional or more complex nondiscrimination testing.]

(d)    Special rules. The following special rules apply for purposes of determining the Matching Contribution under this AA
§6B-3:     
[Note: Any special rules must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder. If contribution sources are limited for only certain Matching Contributions, those limitations may be described under this subsection.]

6B-4 LIMITS ON MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. In applying the Matching Contribution formula(s) selected under AA §6B-2 above, all Eligible Contributions are eligible for Matching Contributions, unless elected otherwise under this AA §6B-4. (See AA
§6D-2 for any limits that apply with respect to After-Tax Employee Contributions.)
(a) ACP safe harbor match. The Matching Contribution formula(s) selected in AA §6B-2 are designed to satisfy the ACP Safe Harbor as described in Section 6.04(i) of the Plan. Therefore, any fixed Matching Contribution selected in AA
§6B-2 will only apply with respect to Eligible Contributions that do not exceed 6% of Plan Compensation. To the extent any Matching Contribution formula is discretionary under AA §6B-2, the discretionary Matching Contributions will not exceed 4% of Plan Compensation for the Plan Year.
[Note: If this subsection is checked, no allocation conditions should be selected under AA §6B-7. If allocation conditions are selected under AA §6B-7, the Matching Contributions under AA §6B-2 may not qualify for the ACP safe harbor. See Section 6.04(i) of the Plan.]
(b)    Limit on the amount of Eligible Contributions. The Matching Contribution formula(s) selected in AA §6B-2 above apply only to Eligible Contributions that do not exceed:
(1)         % of Plan Compensation.
(2)    $     .
(3)    A discretionary amount determined by the Employer that will be applied in a uniform manner for all eligible Participants for the Plan Year.
[Note: If both subsection (1) and subsection (2) are selected, the limit under this subsection is the lesser of the percentage selected in subsection (1) or the dollar amount selected in subsection (2).]
(c)    Limit on Matching Contributions. The total Matching Contribution provided under the formula(s) selected in AA
§6B-2 above will not exceed:
(1)     % of Plan Compensation.

6B-5 PERIOD FOR DETERMINING MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. The Matching Contribution formula(s) selected in AA
§6B-2 above (including any limitations on such amounts under AA §6B-4) are based on Eligible Contributions and Plan Compensation for the Plan Year. To apply a different period for determining the Matching Contributions and limits under AA
§6B-2 through AA §6B-4, complete this AA §6B-5.
(a)    payroll period
(b)    Plan Year quarter
(c)    calendar month
(d)    Other:     
[Note: Although Matching Contributions (and any limits on those Matching Contributions) will be determined on the basis of the period designated under this AA §6B-5, this does not require the Employer to actually make contributions or allocate contributions on the basis of such period. Matching Contributions may be contributed and allocated to Participants at any time within the contribution period permitted under Treas. Reg. §1.415-6, regardless of the period selected under this AA §6B-5. Any alternative period designated under this AA §6B-5 may not exceed a 12-month period and will apply uniformly to all Participants.]
[Note: In determining the amount of Matching Contributions for a particular period, if the Employer actually makes Matching Contributions to the Plan on a more frequent basis than the period selected in this AA §6B-5, a Participant will be entitled to a true-up contribution to the extent he/she does not receive a Matching Contribution based on the Eligible Contributions and/or Plan Compensation for the entire period selected in this AA §6B-5. If a period other than the Plan Year is selected under this AA
§6B-5, the Employer may make an additional discretionary Matching Contribution equal to the true-up contribution that would otherwise be required if Plan Year was selected under this AA §6B-5. See Section 3.04(c) of the Plan. Discretionary “true-up” contributions are not available for Safe Harbor Plans.]

6B-6 ACP TESTING. The ACP Test will be performed using the testing method designated below: (See Section 6.02(a) of the Plan.)
[Note: If the Plan is a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan (as designated in AA §6C below), the Plan must use the Current Year Testing Method. Thus, for any year the Plan is a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan, the Current Year Testing Method applies, regardless of any selection under this §6B-6.]
(a)    Current Year Testing Method. The Plan will use the Current Year Testing Method in running the ACP test. If the Current Year Testing Method is elected, the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year is calculated using current year data, unless otherwise designated below.
Deemed 3% used for first Plan Year. Instead of using actual current year data for the first Plan Year, the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year the 401(k) Plan is effective is deemed to be 3%.
(b)    Prior Year Testing Method. The Plan will use the Prior Year Testing Method in running the ACP Test. If the Prior Year Testing Method is elected, the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year is deemed to be 3%, unless otherwise designated below.
Current year data used for first Plan Year. Instead of deeming the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group to be 3% for the first Plan Year for which the 401(k) Plan is effective, the Plan will use the actual current year data for the first Plan Year.
(c)    Application of Current Year Testing Method. The Current Year Testing Method has applied since the     Plan Year. [Note: If the Plan has switched from the Prior Year Testing Method to the Current Year Testing Method, this subsection may be checked to designate the first Plan Year for which the Current Year Testing Method applies.]

6B-7 ALLOCATION CONDITIONS. A Participant must satisfy any allocation conditions designated under this AA §6B-7 to receive an allocation of Matching Contributions under the Plan.
[Note: Any allocation conditions set forth under this AA §6B-7 do not apply to Safe Harbor Matching Contributions under AA
§6C or QMACs under AA §6D, unless provided otherwise under those specific sections. See AA §4-5 for treatment of service with Predecessor Employers for purposes of applying the allocation conditions under this AA §6B-7.]
(a)    Application of allocation conditions
(1) No allocation conditions apply with respect to Matching Contributions under the Plan.
(2) Allocation conditions only apply to discretionary Matching Contributions under the Plan.
(3) Allocation conditions only apply to fixed Matching Contributions under the Plan.

(iv)    Other:     
[Note: In determining the amount of Safe Harbor Matching Contributions for a particular period, if the Employer actually makes Safe Harbor Matching Contributions to the Plan on a more frequent basis than the period selected in this subsection (2), a Participant will be entitled to a “true-up” contribution to the extent he/she does not receive a Safe Harbor Matching Contribution based on the Salary Deferrals and/or Plan Compensation for the entire period selected in this subsection (2). Thus, for example, if Plan Year applies under this subsection (2), additional Safe Harbor Matching Contributions may be required if the Safe Harbor Matching Contributions are made on a more frequent basis than annually. If true-up contributions will not be made for any Participant under the Plan, payroll period should be selected under this subsection (2).]
(b)    Traditional Safe Harbor Employer Contribution:     % (not less than 3%) of Plan Compensation.

[Note: If this subsection (1) is checked, the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution described above will be required for a Plan Year only if the Employer provides a supplemental notice (as described in Section 6.04(a)(4)(iii) of the Plan). If the Employer properly provides the Safe Harbor notice, but does not provide a supplemental notice, the Employer need not provide the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution described above. In such a case, the Plan will not qualify as a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan for that Plan Year and will be subject to ADP/ACP testing, as applicable. See Section 6.04(a)(4)(iii) of the Plan for rules that apply in subsequent Plan Years.]

(i)    payroll period
(ii)    Plan Year quarter
(iii)    calendar month
(iv)    Other:     
[Note: In determining the amount of QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contributions for a particular period, if the Employer actually makes QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contributions to the Plan on a more frequent basis than the period selected in this subsection (2), a Participant will be entitled to a “true-up” contribution to the extent he/she does not receive a QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contribution based on the Salary Deferrals and/or Plan Compensation for the entire period selected in this subsection (2). Thus, for example, if Plan Year applies under this subsection (2), additional QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contributions may be required if the QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contributions are made on a more frequent basis than annually. If true-up contributions will not be made for any Participant under the Plan, payroll period should be selected under this subsection (2).]

If the Employer properly provides the Safe Harbor notice, but does not provide a supplemental notice, the Employer need not provide the QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution described above. In such a case, the Plan will not qualify as a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan for that Plan Year and will be subject to ADP/ACP testing, as applicable. See Section 6.04(a)(4)(iii) of the Plan for rules that apply in subsequent Plan Years.]
(2)    Other plan. Check this subsection (2) if the QACA Safe Harbor Employer Contribution will be made under another plan maintained by the Employer and identify the plan:     
(c)QACA automatic deferral percentage and automatic increase.
(1)    Automatic deferral percentage.     % [must be at least 3% and no more than 10%] of Plan Compensation.
(2)    Automatic increase. If elected under this subsection (2), the automatic deferral amount will increase each Plan Year by the following amount:
(i)         % of Plan Compensation but not in excess of
(ii)         % [not less than 6% nor more than 10%] of Plan Compensation
[Note: If the percentage under subsection (1) is less than 6% of Plan Compensation, an automatic deferral of at least 1% must apply under subsection (2)(i). If no percentage is entered under subsection (2)(ii), any automatic increase selected under subsection (2)(i) will not exceed 10% of Plan Compensation.]
(3)Application of automatic deferral provisions. The automatic deferral election under subsection (1) will apply to new Participants and existing Participants as set forth under this subsection (3).
(i)New Participants. The automatic deferral provisions apply to all Participants who become eligible on or after the effective date.
(ii)Current Participants. The automatic deferral provisions apply to all other eligible Participants as follows:
(A)    Automatic deferral provisions apply to all current Participants who have not entered into a Salary Deferral Election (including an election not to defer under the Plan).

image_65.jpgThe Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan Section 6C – Safe Harbor 401(k) Contributions
subsection (2)(i). Current Participants who have made a Salary Deferral Election that is less than the automatic deferral amount or who have not made a Salary Deferral Election will automatically be increased to the automatic deferral amount unless the Participant enters into a new Salary Deferral election on or after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions.
(C)    Describe:     
[Note: Any special provisions under subsection (C) must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(iii)Treatment of automatic deferrals. Any Salary Deferrals made pursuant to an automatic deferral election will be treated as Pre-Tax Salary Deferrals, unless designated otherwise under this subsection (iii).
Any Salary Deferrals made pursuant to an automatic deferral election will be treated as Roth Deferrals. [This subsection (iii) may only be checked if Roth Deferrals are permitted under AA §6A-5.]
[Note: Any Salary Deferral Election (including an election not to defer under the Plan) made after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions will override such automatic deferral provisions. See Section 6.04(b)(1)(iii) of the Plan for the application of this provision to rehired Employees.]
(4)    Application of automatic increase. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection (4), if an automatic increase is selected under subsection (c)(2) above, the automatic increase will take effect as of the first day of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant. (See Section 6.04(b)(1)(i) of the Plan.)
(i) First Plan Year. Instead of applying as of the second Plan Year, the automatic increase described in subsection (2) above takes effect as of the appropriate date (as designated under subsection (iii) below) within the first Plan Year following the date automatic contributions begin.
(ii)    Designated Plan Year. Instead of applying as of the second Plan Year, the automatic increase described in subsection (2) above takes effect as of the appropriate date (as designated under subsection (iii) below) within the     Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant.
[Note: The Plan must satisfy the minimum deferral requirements applicable to a QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan. See Section 6.04(b)(1)(i) of the Plan for special rules that apply if this subsection (ii) is checked. Also see Rev. Rul. 2009-30.]
(iii) Effective date. The automatic increase described under subsection (2) above is generally effective as of the first day of the Plan Year. If this subsection (iii) is checked, instead of becoming effective on the first day of the Plan Year, the automatic increase will be effective on:
(A)    The anniversary of the Participant's date of hire.
(B)    The anniversary of the Participant's first automatic deferral contribution.
(C)    The first day of each calendar year.
(D)    Other date:     
[Note: The Plan must satisfy the minimum deferral requirements applicable to a QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan. See Section 6.04(b)(1)(i) of the Plan for special rules that apply if this subsection (iii) is checked for a QACA plan. Also see Rev. Rul. 2009-30.]
(iv)    Special rules:     
[Note: Any special rules under this subsection (iv) must satisfy the rules applicable to automatic increases under Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-3, if applicable, and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(5)Treatment of terminated Employees who are rehired. Unless designated otherwise under subsection (i) below, a Participant’s affirmative election to defer (or to not defer) will cease upon termination of employment. In addition, unless designated otherwise under subsection (ii) below, in applying the automatic deferral provisions under the Plan, a rehired Participant is treated as a new Employee if the Participant is precluded from making automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year.
(i)    Participant’s affirmative election does not cease upon termination of employment. If this subsection (i) is selected, a terminated Participant’s affirmative election to defer (or to not defer) will not cease upon termination of employment. Thus, a Participant who entered into an election to

Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001




image_65.jpgThe Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan Section 6C – Safe Harbor 401(k) Contributions
defer (or not to defer) prior to termination of employment will not be subject to the automatic deferral provisions upon rehire. (See Section 6.04(b)(1)(iii) of the Plan.)
(ii)    Rehired Employees not treated as new Employee. If this provision applies, a Participant who is precluded from making automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year will not be treated as a new Employee for purposes of applying the automatic deferral provisions under the Plan. Thus, a rehired Participant’s minimum deferral percentage will continue to be calculated based on the date the individual first began making automatic deferrals under the Plan. (See Section 6.04(b)(1)(iii) of the Plan.)
(d)    Permissible Withdrawals under a Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement.
(1)    Permissible withdrawals allowed. If the QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan satisfies the requirements for an EACA, the permissible withdrawal provisions under Section 3.03(c)(2)(ii) of the Plan apply. Thus, a Participant who receives an automatic deferral may withdraw such contributions (and earnings attributable thereto) within the time period set forth under Section 3.03(c)(2)(ii) of the Plan, without regard to the in- service distribution provisions selected under AA §10-1. Unless elected otherwise below, if an Employee does not make automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year (e.g., due to termination of employment), the Plan may allow such Employee to take a permissive withdrawal, but only with respect to default contributions made after the Employee’s return to employment.
The ability to take permissible withdrawals does not apply to rehired Employees, even if such Employees have not made automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year due to termination of employment.
(2)    No permissible withdrawals. Although the QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan contains an automatic deferral election that is designed to satisfy the requirements of an EACA, the permissible withdrawal provisions under this subsection are not available.
(3)    Time period for electing a permissible withdrawal. Instead of a 90-day election period, a Participant must request a permissible withdrawal no later than     [may not be less than 30 nor more than 90] days after the date the Plan Compensation from which such Salary Deferrals are withheld would otherwise have been included in gross income.
(e)    Other automatic deferral provisions:     
[Note: Any language added under this subsection must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code
§401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.]

6C-4 ELIGIBILITY FOR SAFE HARBOR CONTRIBUTION. (Complete this 6C–4 only if eligibility rules for Traditional Safe Harbor 401(k) Plans or QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plans are different than for Salary Deferrals.) The Safe Harbor Contribution selected in AA §6C-2 or §6C-3 above will be allocated to all Participants who are eligible to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan, unless designated otherwise under this AA §6C-4.
(a)    Availability of Safe Harbor Contributions. Instead of being allocated to all eligible Participants, the Safe Harbor Contribution selected in AA §6C-2 or §6C-3 will be allocated only to:
(1)    Nonhighly Compensated Participants
(2)    Nonhighly Compensated Participants and any Highly Compensated Non-Key Employees
(b)    Eligible Employees. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection, any Excluded Employees will be determined under the Deferral column under AA §3-1. If this subsection is checked, the following Employees will be excluded for purposes of receiving the Safe Harbor Contribution. [Note: The exclusion of Employees under this subsection may require additional nondiscrimination testing. See Section 6.04(c) of Plan.]
(1)    Same exclusions as designated for Matching Contributions under AA §3-1.
(2)    Same exclusions as designated for Employer Contributions under AA §3-1.
(3)    The following Employees are Excluded Employees for purposes of receiving the Safe Harbor Contribution:
(i)    Collectively Bargained Employees
(ii)    Non-resident aliens who receive no compensation from the Employer which constitutes U.S. source income
(iii)    Leased Employees
(iv)    Describe:     
[Note: If this subsection (iv) is completed to designate a class of Excluded Employees, such Employee class must be defined in such a way that it precludes Employer discretion and may not be based on time or service (e.g., part-time Employees) and may not provide for an exclusion designed to cover only Nonhighly Compensated Employees with the lowest amount of compensation and/or

the shortest periods of service which may represent the minimum number of Nonhighly Compensated Employees necessary to satisfy the coverage requirements under Code §410(b).]
(c)Minimum age and service conditions. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection, the minimum age and service conditions applicable to Salary Deferrals under AA §4 will apply for purposes of any Safe Harbor Contributions selected under AA §6C-2 or §6C-3. If this subsection is checked, the following minimum age and service conditions apply for Safe Harbor Contributions. [Note: The addition of minimum age or service conditions under this subsection may require additional nondiscrimination testing. See Section 6.04(d) of the Plan.]
(1)    Minimum service requirement.
(i)    No minimum service conditions apply.
(ii)    The minimum service conditions applicable to Matching Contributions (as selected in AA §4).
(iii)    The minimum service conditions applicable to Employer Contributions (as selected in AA §4).
(iv)    One Year of Service using shifting Eligibility Computation Period. (See Section 6.04(d) of the Plan.)
(v)    The completion of at least     [cannot exceed 1,000] Hours of Service during the first     
months of employment or the completion of a Year of Service (as defined in AA §4-3), if earlier.
(vi)    Describe:     
[Note: For purposes of determining eligibility for Safe Harbor Contributions, an Employee may not be required to complete more than one Year of Service.]
(2)    Minimum age requirement.
(i)    No minimum age requirement
(ii)    Age 21
(iii)    Age     (not later than age 21)
(3)    Entry Date.

(i)
Immediate
(ii)
Semi-annual
(iii)
Quarterly
(iv)
Monthly
(v)    Describe Entry Date:     
[Note: Entry Date under subsection (v) must be within the dates described under subsections (i) – (iv).]
An Eligible Employee’s Entry Date (as defined above) is determined based on when the Employee satisfies the minimum age and service requirements in AA §4-1 or subsections (1) and (2) above. For this purpose, an Employee’s Entry Date is the Entry Date:
(vi)    next following satisfaction of the minimum age and service requirements.
(vii)    coinciding with or next following satisfaction of the minimum age and service requirements.
(viii) nearest the satisfaction of the minimum age and service requirements.
(ix)    preceding the satisfaction of the minimum age and service requirements.
(d)    Describe eligibility conditions:     
[Note: Any additional eligibility conditions under this subsection must satisfy the requirements of Code §410(a) and may not violate the nondiscrimination requirements of Code §401(a)(4).]

6C-5 DEFINITION OF PLAN COMPENSATION. Unless designated otherwise under this AA §6C-5, Plan Compensation is the same definition as selected under the Deferral column of AA §5-3 and AA §5-4. (See Note below for special rules applicable to definition of Plan Compensation.)
(a)    Modification of Plan Compensation. Instead of using the definition of Plan Compensation used for Salary Deferrals under AA §5-3, the following exclusions apply for Safe Harbor Contributions:
(1)    No exclusions.
. (2)    All fringe benefits, expense reimbursements, deferred compensation, moving expenses, and welfare benefits are excluded.
(3)    Amounts received as a bonus are excluded.
(4)    Amounts received as commissions are excluded.
(5)    Overtime payments are excluded.
(6)    Describe adjustments to Plan Compensation:

Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001




image_65.jpgThe Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan Section 6C – Safe Harbor 401(k) Contributions
[Note: Any exclusions selected under subsections (3) – (6) may cause the definition of Plan Compensation to fail to satisfy a safe harbor definition of compensation under Code §414(s). Any modification under this subsection (6) must be definitely determinable and preclude Employer discretion.]
(b)        Exclusions applicable only to Highly Compensated Employees. If this subsection is checked, any non-safe harbor adjustments selected under AA §5-3 or under this AA §6C-5, to the extent the adjustments apply to Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan Contributions, will apply only to Highly Compensated Employees. [Note: If this subsection is checked, the definition of Plan Compensation that applies for purposes of determining the amount of Safe Harbor Contributions under the Plan will be deemed to satisfy a safe harbor definition of compensation under Code §414(s). See Section
1.138 of the Plan for a description of non-safe harbor compensation adjustments.]
(c)    Compensation while a Participant. Instead of using the period of compensation designated under AA §5-4 for Salary Deferrals, the following Plan Compensation will be taken into account for Safe Harbor Contributions:
(1)    Only Plan Compensation earned while the Employee is eligible to receive a Safe Harbor Contribution.
(2)    Plan Compensation for the entire Plan Year, including compensation earned while an individual is not eligible to receive the Safe Harbor Contribution.
[Note: In order to qualify as a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan, the Plan must use a definition of Plan Compensation that satisfies a nondiscriminatory definition under Code §414(s). If the definition of Plan Compensation used for determining Safe Harbor Contributions or QACA Safe Harbor Contributions under the Plan does not satisfy a nondiscriminatory definition under Code
§414(s) for a given Plan Year, the Employer will be deemed to have elected to use Total Compensation for purposes of determining the Traditional Safe Harbor or QACA Safe Harbor Contribution for such Plan Year. See Section 1.99(a) of the Plan.]

6C-6 OFFSET OF ADDITIONAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Any additional Employer Contributions under AA §6 will be allocated to all eligible Participants in addition to the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution, unless selected otherwise under this AA §6C-6.
Check this AA §6C-6 to provide that the Safe Harbor Employer Contribution offsets any additional Employer Contributions designated under AA §6. For this purpose, if the permitted disparity allocation method is selected under AA
§6-3, this offset applies only to the second step of the two-step permitted disparity formula or the fourth step of the four- step permitted disparity formula. (See Section 3.02(d)(1) of the Plan.)

6C-7 DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE. The Safe Harbor provisions under this AA §6C are effective as of the Effective Date of the Plan (or the Effective Date of any Plan amendment or restatement, if applicable), as designated on the Employer Signature Page. To provide for a delayed effective date for the Safe Harbor provisions, check this AA §6C-7.
The Safe Harbor provisions under this AA §6C are effective beginning     . Prior to this delayed effective date, the provisions of this AA §6C do not apply. Thus, prior to the delayed effective date, the Employer is not obligated to make a Safe Harbor Contribution and the Plan is subject to ADP and ACP Testing, to the extent applicable.

The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgimage_53a.jpgSection 6D – Special Contributions


6D-1 SPECIAL CONTRIBUTIONS. The following Special Contributions may be made under the Plan:
(a) No Special Contributions are permitted. [Skip to Section 7.]
(b)    After-Tax Employee Contributions
[Note: After-Tax Employee Contributions are not considered Roth Deferrals. The Employer may elect Roth Deferrals under AA §6A-5.]
(c)    Fixed Qualified Nonelective Contributions (QNECs), as elected under AA §6D-3.
[Note: Under the Plan, the Employer may always make a discretionary QNEC to the Plan as a uniform percentage of Plan Compensation, a uniform dollar amount, or as a Targeted QNEC. See Section 3.02(a)(6) of the Plan.]
(d)    Qualified Matching Contributions (QMACs)
[Note: Regardless of any elections under this AA §6D-1, the Employer may make additional QNECs or QMACs to the Plan on behalf of the Nonhighly Compensated Employees and use such amounts to correct an ADP or ACP Test violation. See Sections 6.01(b)(3) and 6.02(b)(3) of the Plan for special rules regarding the allocation of QNECs/QMACs under the Plan.]

6D-2 AFTER-TAX EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS. If After-Tax Employee Contributions are authorized under AA §6D-1, a Participant may contribute any amount as After-Tax Employee Contributions up to the Code §415 Limitation (as defined in Section 5.03 of the Plan), except as limited under this AA §6D-2.
(a)    Limits on After-Tax Employee Contributions. If this subsection is checked, the following limits apply to After-Tax Employee Contributions:
(1)    Maximum limit. A Participant may make After-Tax Employee Contributions up to
(i)         % of Plan Compensation
(ii)    $     
for the following period:
(iii)    the entire Plan Year.
(iv)    the portion of the Plan Year during which the Employee is eligible to participate.
(v)    each separate payroll period during which the Employee is eligible to participate.

(i)         % of Plan Compensation.
(ii)    $     .
(b)Eligibility for Matching Contributions. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection, After-Tax Employee Contributions will not be eligible for Matching Contributions under the Plan.
(1)    After-Tax Employee Contributions are eligible for the following Matching Contributions under the Plan:
(i)    All Matching Contributions elected under AA §6B and AA §6C.
(ii)        All Matching Contributions elected under AA §6B (other than Safe Harbor/QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contributions elected under AA §6C).
(iii)    Only Safe Harbor/QACA Safe Harbor Matching Contributions under AA §6C.
(iv)    All Matching Contributions designated under AA §6B-2 and/or AA §6C, except for the following Matching Contributions:     
(2)    The Matching Contribution formula only applies to After-Tax Employee Contributions that do not exceed:
(i)         % of Plan Compensation.
(ii)    $     .
(iii)    A discretionary amount determined by the Employer.

In addition to the Participant’s Entry Date under the Plan, a Participant’s election to change or resume an after-tax election will be effective as set forth under the After-Tax Employee Contributions election form or other written procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator. A Participant must be permitted to change or revoke an after-tax election at least once per year. Unless the After-Tax Contributions

election form or other written procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator provide otherwise, a Participant may revoke an after-tax election (on a prospective basis) at any time. Unless designated otherwise in a Participant’s after-tax election form, a Participant’s affirmative election to make an After-Tax Employee Contribution will cease upon termination of employment and the Participant will need to make a new election upon rehire.
(a)ACP Testing Method. The same ACP Testing Method will apply to After-Tax Employee Contributions as applies to Matching Contributions, as designated under AA §6B-6. If no method is selected under AA §6B-6, designate the testing method below.
[Note: If the Plan is a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan (as designated in AA §6C), the Plan must use the Current Year Testing Method.]
(1)    Current Year Testing Method. The Plan will use the Current Year Testing Method in running the ACP test. If the Current Year Testing Method is elected, the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year is calculated using current year data, unless otherwise designated below.
Deemed 3% used for first Plan Year. Instead of using actual current year data for the first Plan Year, the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year the 401(k) Plan is effective is deemed to be 3%.
(2)    Prior Year Testing Method. The Plan will use the Prior Year Testing Method in running the ACP Test. If the Prior Year Testing Method is elected, the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group for the first Plan Year is deemed to be 3%, unless otherwise designated below.
Current year data used for first Plan Year. Instead of deeming the ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated Group to be 3% for the first Plan Year for which the 401(k) Plan is effective, the Plan will use the actual current year data for the first Plan Year.
(3) Application of Current Year Testing Method. The Current Year Testing Method has applied since the
Plan Year. [Note: If the Plan has switched from the Prior Year Testing Method to the Current Year Testing Method, this subsection (3) may be checked to designate the first Plan Year for which the Current Year Testing Method applies.]
(e) Other limits:     
[Any other limits under this subsection must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]

6D-3 QUALIFIED NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS (QNECs). Notwithstanding any contrary selections in the Adoption Agreement, for any Plan Year, the Employer may make a discretionary QNEC on behalf of Nonhighly Compensated Participants under the Plan to correct a violation of the ADP and/or ACP tests. (See Sections 6.01(b)(3) and 6.02(b)(3).) Such corrective QNEC may be allocated to all Nonhighly Compensated Participants as a uniform percentage of Plan Compensation or a uniform dollar amount or as a Targeted QNEC, without regard to any allocation conditions selected in AA §6-5. The allocation method chosen by the Employer for a corrective QNEC will be uniformly applied to all Participants receiving the corrective QNEC for the Plan Year. The Employer also may make a discretionary QNEC that is not a corrective QNEC and allocate such discretionary QNEC as a uniform percentage of Plan Compensation to Nonhighly Compensated Employees. If the Employer decides to make a discretionary QNEC, the Employer must designate the contribution as a QNEC prior to making such contribution to the Plan. (See Section 6.01(a)(4) and 6.02(a)(4) of the Plan for a description of the amount of QNEC that may be used in the ADP Test and/or ACP Test.)
The Employer may elect under this AA §6D-3 to make a fixed QNEC to the Plan.
Unless provided otherwise under this AA §6D-3, any QNEC authorized under AA §6D-1 will be allocated to Nonhighly Compensated Employees who are eligible to make Salary Deferrals, without regard to the allocation conditions selected in AA
§6-5. Any contribution designated as a QNEC will automatically be subject to the requirements for QNECs (as described in Section 3.02(a)(6) of the Plan). QNECs will be eligible for in-service distribution under the same conditions as elected for Salary Deferrals under AA §10 (other than hardship distributions), unless designated otherwise under AA §10.
To modify these default allocation provisions, complete the applicable provisions under this AA §6D-3.
(a)    All Participants. Any QNEC made pursuant to this AA §6D-3 will be allocated to all Participants who are eligible to defer, including Highly Compensated Employees.
(b) Fixed QNEC.
(1) The Employer will make a QNEC each Plan Year equal to % of Plan Compensation.
(2) The Employer will make a QNEC each Plan Year equal to $ .
[Note: A flat dollar QNEC may only be used in the ADP Test to the extent the QNEC does not violate the Targeted QNEC requirements as set forth in Section 3.02(a)(6)(ii)(B) of the Plan.]

The Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan
image_65.jpgSection 6D – Special Contributions
(c)    Allocation conditions. Any QNEC made pursuant to this AA §6D-3 will be allocated only to Participants who have satisfied the following allocation conditions:
(1)    Safe harbor allocation condition. An Employee must be employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year OR must complete more than 500 Hours of Service. (See Section 3.09 of the Plan.)

Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001


(2)    Employment condition. An Employee must be employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.
(3)    Minimum service condition. An Employee must be credited with at least 1,000 HOS during the Plan Year.
(4)    Describe any special rules governing the allocation conditions relating to QNECs:     
[Note: Any special rules under this subsection must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code
§401(a)(4).]
(d)    Eligibility for QNECs. In determining eligibility for QNECs, only those Participants who are eligible for the following contributions will share in the allocation of QNECs (subject to the selections in this AA §6D-3):
(1)    Employer Contributions
(2)    Matching Contributions
(3)    Describe any special rules governing eligibility relating to QNECs:     
[Note: Any special rules under this subsection must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code
§401(a)(4).]

6D-4 QUALIFIED MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS (QMACs). Notwithstanding any contrary selections in the Adoption Agreement, for any Plan Year, the Employer may make a discretionary QMAC on behalf of Nonhighly Compensated Participants under the Plan to correct a violation of the ADP and/or ACP tests. (See Sections 6.01(b)(3) and 6.02(b)(3).) Such corrective QMAC may be allocated to all Nonhighly Compensated Participants as a uniform percentage of Eligible Contributions or a uniform dollar amount or as a Targeted QMAC, without regard to any allocation conditions selected in AA §6-5. The allocation method chosen by the Employer for a corrective QMAC will be applied uniformly to all Participants receiving the corrective QMAC for the Plan Year.
If QMACs are authorized under AA §6D-1, the Employer may make a non-corrective discretionary QMAC as a uniform percentage of Eligible Contributions. If the Employer decides to make a discretionary QMAC, the Employer must designate the contribution as a QMAC prior to making such contribution to the Plan. Unless provided otherwise under this AA §6D-4, any discretionary QMAC authorized under AA §6D-1 will be allocated only to Nonhighly Compensated Employees, without regard to the allocation conditions selected in AA §6B-7. Any discretionary Matching Contribution designated as a QMAC will automatically be subject to the requirements for QMACs (as described in Section 3.04(d) of the Plan). QMACs will be eligible for in-service distribution under the same conditions as elected for Salary Deferrals under AA §10 (other than hardship distributions). (See Section 6.01(a)(4) and 6.02(a)(1) of the Plan for a description of the amount of QMAC that may be used in the ADP Test and/or ACP Test.)
To modify these default allocation provisions, complete the applicable provision under this AA §6D-4.
(a)    Eligibility for QMAC. The discretionary QMAC will be allocated to all Participants (instead of only to Nonhighly Compensated Employees).
(b)    Designated QMACs. The Employer may designate under this subsection to treat specific Matching Contributions under AA §6B-2 as QMACs. [Note: Any Matching Contributions designated as QMACs will automatically be subject to the requirements for QMACs (as described in Section 3.04(d) of the Plan), notwithstanding any contrary selections in this Adoption Agreement.]
(1)    All Matching Contributions are designated as QMACs.
(2)    The following Matching Contributions described in AA §6B-2 are designated as QMACs:     
(3)    Any discretionary QMAC made pursuant to this AA §6D-4 will be allocated as a Targeted QMAC, as described in Section 3.04(d)(2) of the Plan.
(c)    Allocation conditions. Any QMAC made pursuant to this AA §6D-4 will be allocated only to Participants who have satisfied the following allocation conditions:
(1)    Safe harbor allocation condition. An Employee must be employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year OR must complete more than 500 Hours of Service. (See Section 3.09 of the Plan.)
(2)    Employment condition. An Employee must be employed with the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.
(3)    Minimum service condition. An Employee must be credited with at least 1,000 HOS during the Plan Year.

7-1NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE. Normal Retirement Age under the Plan is:
(a)    Age 6 5    (not to exceed 65).
(b)    The later of age     (not to exceed 65) or the     (not to exceed 5th) anniversary of the Employee’s:
(1)    Participation commencement date (as defined in Section 1.91 of the Plan).
(2)    Employment date.
(c)    Describe:     
[Note: If this subsection is completed, the Normal Retirement Age may not be later than the later of age 65 or the 5th
anniversary of the Employee’s participation commencement date.]
[Note: Effective May 22, 2007 (for Plans initially adopted on or after May 22, 2007), and effective for the first Plan Year beginning on or after July 1, 2008 (for Plans initially adopted prior to May 22, 2007), if the Plan contains any assets transferred from a Money Purchase Plan (or any other pension plan described in Treas. Reg. §1.401–1(a)(2)(i)), the Normal Retirement Age selected in this AA §7-1 must be reasonably representative of the typical retirement age for the industry in which the Plan Participants work. An NRA under age 55 is presumed not to satisfy this requirement while a Normal Retirement Age of at least age 62 is deemed to be reasonable. See Section 1.91 of the Plan.]

7-2EARLY RETIREMENT AGE. Unless designated otherwise under this AA §7-2, there is no Early Retirement Age under the Plan.
(a)    A Participant reaches Early Retirement Age if he/she is still employed after attainment of each of the following:

No [If “No” is checked, skip to Section 9.]
[Note: “Yes” should be checked under this AA §8-1 if the Plan provides for Employer Contributions and/or Matching Contributions that are subject to a vesting schedule, even if such contributions are always 100% vested under AA §8-2. “No” should be checked if the only contributions under the Plan are Salary Deferrals, Safe Harbor Contributions (other than QACA Safe Harbor Contributions), QNECs, QMACs and/or After-Tax Employee Contributions. If the Plan holds Employer Contributions and/or Matching Contributions that are subject to vesting, but the Plan no longer provides for such contributions, see Sections 7.04(e) and 7.13(e) of the Plan for default rules for applying the vesting and forfeiture rules to such contributions.]

(e)    Not applicable. No increase in vesting applies.

8-5DEFAULT VESTING RULES. In applying the vesting requirements under this AA §8, the following default rules apply. [Note: No election should be made under this AA §8-5 if all contributions are 100% vested. ER and Match columns also apply to any Safe Harbor QACA Contributions to the extent a vesting schedule applies under AA §8-2 above.]
Year of Service. An Employee earns a Year of Service for vesting purposes upon completing 1,000 Hours of Service during a Vesting Computation Period. Hours of Service are calculated based on actual hours worked during the Vesting Computation Period. (See Section 1.72 of the Plan for the definition of Hours of Service.)
Vesting Computation Period. The Vesting Computation Period is the Plan Year.
Break in Service Rules. The Nonvested Participant Break in Service rule and One-Year Break in Service rules do NOT apply. (See Section 7.09 of the Plan.)
To override the default vesting rules, complete the applicable sections of this AA §8-5. If this AA §8-5 is not completed, the default vesting rules apply.

ER    Match
    (a) Year of Service. Instead of 1,000 Hours of Service, an Employee earns a Year of Service upon the completion of     Hours of Service during a Vesting Computation Period.

[Note: Any Vesting Computation Period described in this subsection (2) must be a 12- consecutive month period and must apply uniformly to all Participants.]
    (c) Elapsed Time Method. Instead of determining vesting service based on actual Hours of Service, vesting service will be determined under the Elapsed Time method. If this subsection is checked, service will be measured from the Employee’s employment commencement date (or reemployment commencement date, if applicable) without regard to the Vesting Computation Period designated in Section 7.06 of the Plan. (See Section 7.05(b) of the Plan.)
    (d) Equivalency Method. For purposes of determining an Employee’s Hours of Service for vesting, the Plan will use the Equivalency Method (as defined in Section 7.05(a)(2) of the Plan). The Equivalency Method will apply to:
(1)    All Employees.
(2)    Only to Employees for whom the Employer does not maintain hourly records. For Employees for whom the Employer maintains hourly records, vesting will be determined based on actual hours worked.
Hours of Service for vesting will be determined under the following Equivalency Method.

8-7SPECIAL RULES REGARDING CASH-OUT DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a)Additional allocations.

In addition, in no event may the Plan forfeit any amounts attributable to a Participant’s Salary Deferrals or After-Tax Employee Contributions under the Plan or if the Plan has commenced distributions prior to the Participant’s death.
image_63a.jpg

9-1AVAILABLE FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION.
Lump sum distribution. A Participant may take a distribution of his/her entire vested Account Balance in a single lump sum upon termination of employment.

(d) Describe distribution options:     
[Note: Any additional distribution options under this subsection may not be subject to the discretion of the Employer or Plan Administrator.]

9-2QUALIFIED JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY RULES. This Plan is not subject to the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity rules, except to the extent required under Section 9.01 of the Plan (e.g., if the Plan is a Transferee Plan).

(a) Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity rules. Check this subsection to apply the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity rules to the entire Plan. If this subsection is checked, all distributions from the Plan must satisfy the QJSA requirements under Section 9 of the Plan, with the following modifications:

(no vested benefit as described in Section 7.12(a) of the Plan) will forfeit the nonvested portion of their
Account Balance as soon as administratively feasible following the date of the deemed distribution. This
provision supersedes any contrary language under Section 7.12(a)(1) of the Plan. If a Participant dies before
commencing distribution of his/her benefits under the Plan (or, if a Participant commences distribution prior
to death only with respect to a portion of his/her Account Balance) and the value of the death benefit does not

image_65.jpgThe Vanguard Group Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan Section 9 – Distribution Provisions – Termination of Employment
9-5DETERMINATION OF BENEFICIARY.
(a)Default beneficiaries. Under Section 8.08(c) of the Plan, to the extent a Beneficiary has not been named by the Participant (subject to the spousal consent rules) and is not designated under the terms of the Investment Arrangement(s) to receive all or any portion of the deceased Participant’s death benefit, such amount shall be distributed to the Participant’s surviving Spouse (if the Participant was married at the time of death) who shall be considered the designated Beneficiary. If the Participant does not have a surviving Spouse at the time of death, distribution will be made to the Participant’s surviving children (including legally adopted children, but not including step-children), as designated Beneficiaries, in equal shares. If the Participant has no surviving children, distribution will be made to the Participant’s estate.
If this subsection (a) is checked, the default beneficiaries under Section 8.08(c) of the Plan are modified as follows:
(1)    The Plan adopts the default beneficiary rules under Section 8.08(c) of the Plan, except, if the Participant does not have a surviving Spouse at the time of death, distribution will be made to the Participant’s children (including legally adopted children, but not including step-children), as designated Beneficiaries, per stirpes.
(2)    Describe other modifications to the default beneficiaries under Section 8.08(c) of the Plan:
D istributions will be made to the Participant's surviving spouse and, if no spouse exists at the time
of the Participant's death, then to the Participant's estate.    
[Note: The description of the modifications to the default beneficiaries must be sufficiently clear for the Plan Administrator to determine the beneficiaries and the method of distribution of the Participant’s death benefit.]
(b)One-year marriage rule. For purposes of determining whether an individual is considered the surviving Spouse of the Participant, the determination is based on the marital status as of the date of the Participant’s death, unless designated otherwise under this subsection (b).
If this subsection (b) is checked, in order to be considered the surviving Spouse, the Participant and surviving Spouse must have been married for the entire one-year period ending on the date of the Participant’s death. If the Participant and surviving Spouse are not married for at least one year as of the date of the Participant’s death, the Spouse will not be treated as the surviving Spouse for purposes of applying the distribution provisions of the Plan. (See Section 9.04(c)(2) of the Plan.)
(c)Divorce of Spouse. Unless elected otherwise under this subsection (c), if a Participant designates his/her Spouse as Beneficiary and subsequent to such Beneficiary designation, the Participant and Spouse are divorced, the designation of the Spouse as Beneficiary under the Plan is automatically rescinded as set forth under Section 8.08(c)(6) of the Plan.
If this subsection (c) is checked, a Beneficiary designation will not be rescinded upon divorce of the Participant and Spouse.
[Note: Section 8.08(c)(6) of the Plan and this subsection (c) will be subject to the provisions of a Beneficiary designation entered into by the Participant. Thus, if a Beneficiary designation specifically overrides the election under this subsection (c), the provisions of the Beneficiary designation will control. See Section 8.08(c)(6) of the Plan.]

9-6SPECIAL RULES.
(a)Availability of Involuntary Cash-Out Distributions. A Participant who terminates employment with a vested Account Balance of $5,000 or less will receive an Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution, subject to the Automatic Rollover provisions under Section 8.06 of the Plan.
Alternatively, an Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution will be made to the following terminated Participants:
(1) No Involuntary Cash-Out Distributions. The Plan does not provide for Involuntary Cash-Out Distributions. A terminated Participant must consent to any distribution from the Plan. (See Section 14.03(b) of the Plan for special rules upon Plan termination.)
(2) Lower Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution threshold. A terminated Participant will receive an Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution only if the Participant’s vested Account Balance is less than or equal to:
(i)    $1,000
(ii)    $     (must be less than $5,000)

Unless elected otherwise under this subsection (c), Rollover Contributions will be included in determining whether a Participant’s vested Account Balance exceeds the Involuntary Cash-Out threshold for purposes of applying the distribution rules under this AA §9 and Section 8.04(b) of the Plan. To exclude Rollover Contributions for purposes of applying the Plan’s distribution rules, check below.
In determining whether a Participant’s vested Account Balance exceeds the Involuntary Cash-Out threshold, Rollover Contributions will be excluded.
[Note: This subsection (c) should not be checked if a lower Involuntary Cash-Out Distribution is selected in subsection
(a) above in order to avoid the Automatic Rollover provisions described in Section 8.06 of the Plan.]
(d)Distribution upon attainment of stated age. The Participant consent requirements under Section 8.04 of the Plan apply for distributions occurring prior to attainment of the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.
To allow for involuntary distribution upon attainment of Normal Retirement Age (or age 62, if later), check below.
Subject to the spousal consent requirements under Section 9.04 of the Plan, a distribution from the Plan will be made to a terminated Participant without the Participant’s consent, regardless of the value of such Participant’s vested Account Balance, upon attainment of Normal Retirement Age (or age 62, if later).
(e)In-kind distributions. Section 8.02(b) of the Plan allows the Plan Administrator to authorize an in-kind distribution of property, including Qualifying Employer Securities and Qualifying Employer Real Property, to the extent the Plan holds such property.
To modify this default rule, check below.
A Participant may not receive an in-kind distribution in the form of property or securities, even if the Plan holds such property on behalf of any Participant.

No in- service distribution of Salary Deferrals is permitted prior to age 59½, except for Hardship, Disability, as a Qualified Reservist Distribution or on a deemed separation of employment. If Normal Retirement Age or Early Retirement Age is earlier than age 59½, such age is deemed to be age 59½ for purposes of determining eligibility to distribute Salary Deferrals. If this Plan has accepted a transfer of assets from a pension plan (e.g., a Money Purchase Plan), no in-service distribution from amounts attributable to such transferred assets is permitted prior to age 62, except for Disability. See AA §11-7 for special rules that may apply to distributions of Qualifying Employer Securities and/or Qualifying Employer Real Property.]

10-2APPLICATION TO OTHER CONTRIBUTION SOURCES.

Participant's (or, if applicable, surviving Spouse's) death. If neither the Participant nor Beneficiary makes an election,
distributions will be made in accordance with the life expectancy method under Sections 8.12(b) and (d) of the Plan.
This provision supersedes any contrary language under Section 8.12(f)(2) of the Plan or this Adoption Agreement.    
[Note: Any other distribution rules described in this subsection may not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees. This subsection may be used to apply the limitations under this AA §10-3 only to specific in-service distribution options (e.g., hardship distributions).]

10-4REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a)Required Beginning Date – non-5% owners. In applying the required minimum distribution rules under Section 8.12 of the Plan, the Required Beginning Date for non-5% owners is the later of attainment of age 70½ or termination of employment. To override this default provision, check this subsection (a).
The Required Beginning Date for a non-5% owner is the date the Employee attains age 70½, even if the Employee is still employed with the Employer.
(b)Required distributions after death. If a Participant dies before distributions begin, and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the Participant or Beneficiary may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year rule (as described in Section 8.12(f)(1) of the Plan) or the life expectancy method described under Sections 8.12(b) and (d) of the Plan apply. See Section 8.12(f)(2) of the Plan for rules regarding the timing of an election authorized under this AA §10-4.
Alternatively, if selected under this subsection (b), any death distributions to a Designated Beneficiary will be made only under either the 5-year rule or the life expectancy method, as elected below:
(1) The 5-year rule under Section 8.12(f)(1) of the Plan applies (instead of the life expectancy method). Thus, the entire death benefit must be distributed by the end of the fifth year following the year of the Participant’s death. Death distributions to a Designated Beneficiary may not be made under the life expectancy method.
(2) The life expectancy method under Sections 8.12(b) and (d) of the Plan (and not the 5-year rule).

[Note: Any special rules under this subsection must be consistent with the requirements of Code §415 and the regulations thereunder and must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]

(a)    Top Heavy contribution. If this subsection is checked, any Top Heavy minimum contribution required under Section 4 of the Plan will be allocated to all Participants, including Key Employees. [If this subsection is not checked, any Top Heavy minimum contribution will be allocated only to Non-Key Employees.]
(b)Vesting rules applicable to Top Heavy Plans. Generally, if a Top Heavy minimum contribution is made for a Plan Year, such contribution will be subject to the vesting schedule selected in AA §8-2 applicable to Employer Contributions.

Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001


AMENDMENT TO RADIAN GROUP INC. SAVINGS INCENTIVE PLAN (“the Plan”)

WHEREAS, Radian Group Inc. (the “Employer”) maintains the Radian Group Inc. Savings Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for its employees;

WHEREAS, Radian Group Inc. has decided that it is in its best interest to amend the Plan;

WHEREAS, Section 14.01(b) of the Plan authorizes the Employer to amend the selections under the Radian Group Inc.
Savings Incentive Plan Adoption Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Radian Group Inc. Savings Incentive Plan Adoption Agreement is amended as follows. The amendment of the Plan is effective as of 1-1-2022.


1.The Adoption Agreement is amended to read:

5-1TOTAL COMPENSATION. Total Compensation is based on the definition set forth under this AA §5-1. See Section 1.142 of the Plan for a specific definition of the various types of Total Compensation.
(a)    W-2 Wages
(b)    Code §415 Compensation
(c)    Wages under Code §3401(a)
[Note: For purposes of determining Total Compensation, each definition includes Elective Deferrals as defined in Section 1.47 of the Plan, pre-tax contributions to a Code §125 cafeteria plan or a Code §457 plan, and qualified transportation fringes under Code §132(f)(4).]

2.The Adoption Agreement is amended to read:

5-3PLAN COMPENSATION. Plan Compensation is Total Compensation (as defined in AA §5-1 above) with the following exclusions.
Deferral    Match    ER
        (a) No exclusions.
N/A            (b) Elective Deferrals (as defined in Section 1.47 of the Plan), pre-tax contributions
to a cafeteria plan or a Code §457 plan, and qualified transportation fringes under Code §132(f)(4) are excluded.
        (c) All fringe benefits (cash and noncash), reimbursements or other expense
allowances, moving expenses, deferred compensation, and welfare benefits are excluded.
        (d) Compensation above $     is excluded. (See Section 1.99 of the Plan.)
        (e) Amounts received as a bonus are excluded.
        (f) Amounts received as commissions are excluded.
        (g) Overtime payments are excluded.
        (h) Amounts received for services performed for a non-signatory Related Employer
are excluded. (See Section 2.02(c) of the Plan.)
[Note: If this subsection is not elected, amounts received for services performed for a non-signatory Related Employer are INCLUDED in Plan Compensation.]
        (i) “Deemed §125 compensation” as defined in Section 1.142(d) of the Plan.

© Copyright 2020
Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001



        (j) Amounts received after termination of employment are excluded. (See Section
1.142(b) of the Plan.)
        (k) Differential Pay (as defined in Section 1.142(e) of the Plan).
        (l) Describe adjustments to Plan Compensation:     

[Note: Any exclusions selected under this AA §5-3 that do not meet the safe harbor exclusions under Treas. Reg. §1.414(s)-1, as described in Section 1.99(a) of the Plan, may cause the definition of Plan Compensation to fail to satisfy a safe harbor definition of compensation under Code §414(s). Certain exclusions above are safe harbor exclusions. (See Section 1.138 of the Plan.) Other exclusions may require the Plan to additional nondiscrimination testing, including the compensation ratio test under Treas. Reg.
§1.414(s)-1(d)(3). Failure to use a definition of Plan Compensation that satisfies the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §414(s) will cause the Plan to fail to qualify for any contribution safe harbors, such as the permitted disparity allocation or Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan safe harbors. Any adjustments to Plan Compensation under this AA §5-3 must be definitely determinable and preclude Employer discretion. See AA §6C-5 for the definition of Plan Compensation as it applies to Safe Harbor Contributions.]

3.The Adoption Agreement is amended to read:

6A-8 AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENT (other than a QACA Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan). No automatic contribution provisions apply under Section 3.03(c) of the Plan, unless provided otherwise under this AA §6A-8. (If the Employer wishes to adopt a QACA Safe Harbor Plan, the Employer should not complete this AA §6A-8 and instead complete AA §6C-3.)
(a)    Type of Automatic Contribution Arrangement.
(1)    Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement. Check this subsection (1) if the Employer intends for the Plan to be an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement (EACA), as described in Section 3.03(c)(2). If this subsection (1) is checked, the selections in this AA §6A-8 must be consistent with the requirements of an EACA. As an EACA, the Employer also must complete AA §6A-8(c) relating to permissible withdrawals.
(2)    Automatic Contribution Arrangement other than an EACA. Check this subsection (2) if the Employer intends for the Plan to be an Automatic Contribution Arrangement other than an EACA.
(b)    Automatic deferral election. Upon becoming eligible to make Salary Deferrals under the Plan (pursuant to AA §3 and AA §4), a Participant will be deemed to have entered into a Salary Deferral Election for each payroll period, unless the Participant completes a Salary Deferral Election (subject to the limitations under AA §6A-2 and AA §6A-3) in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator.
(1)    Effective date of Automatic Contribution Arrangement or EACA. The automatic deferral provisions under this AA §6A-8 are effective as of:
(i)    The Effective Date of this Plan as set forth under the Employer Signature Page.
(ii)         [insert date no earlier than the Effective Date of this Plan]
(iii)    As set forth under a prior Plan document. [Note: If this subsection (iii) is checked, the automatic deferral provisions under this AA §6A-8 will apply as of the original Effective Date of the automatic contribution arrangement. Unless provided otherwise under this AA §6A-8, an Employee who is automatically enrolled under a prior Plan document will continue to be automatically enrolled under the current Plan document.]
(iv)    If the Employer is amending the provisions applicable to the ACA or EACA, the amended provisions are effective as of 1-1-2022    [insert date]
(2)    Automatic Contribution Arrangement deferral amount and automatic increase.
(i)    Automatic deferral amount.
(A)    6    % of Plan Compensation
(B)    $     
(ii)    Automatic increase. If elected under this subsection (ii), the automatic deferral amount will increase each Plan Year by the following amount. (See Section 3.03(c) of the Plan.)
(A)    2    % of Plan Compensation
(B)    $     
(C)    If this (C) and subsection (3)(iii) below (relating to the expiration of affirmative deferral elections) are both elected, the automatic increase will apply to all Participants, including

© Copyright 2020
Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001



those Participants whose affirmative deferral elections have expired and no subsequent affirmative election is made.
Any automatic increase elected under this subsection (ii) will not cause the automatic deferral amount to exceed:
(D)    15    % of Plan Compensation
(E)    $     
(iii)    Special application of automatic increase provisions. The Employer may describe under this subsection (iii) special rules applicable to automatic increase provisions: Participants automatically enrolled prior to 1-1-2022 will be increased by 1% each year up to 10%.    
[Note: Any special application of the automatic increase provisions must be definitely determinable and must not discrimination in favor of Highly Compensated Employees.]
(3)Application of automatic deferral provisions. The automatic deferral election under subsection (2) will apply to new Participants (i.e., Participants who enter the Plan after the automatic deferral provisions are effective) and current Participants (i.e., Participants who were eligible to participate in the Plan at the time the automatic deferral provisions are effective) as set forth under this subsection (3).
(i)New Participants. The automatic deferral provisions apply to all Participants who become eligible on or after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions.
(ii)Current Participants. The automatic deferral provisions apply to all other eligible Participants as follows:
(A)    Automatic deferral provisions apply to all current Participants who have not entered into a Salary Deferral Election (including an election not to defer under the Plan).
(B)    Automatic deferral provisions apply to all current Participants who have not entered into a Salary Deferral Election that is at least equal to the automatic deferral amount under subsection (2)(i). Current Participants who have made a Salary Deferral Election that is less than the automatic deferral amount, or who have not made a Salary Deferral Election, will automatically be increased to the automatic deferral amount unless the Participant enters into a new Salary Deferral election on or after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions.
(C) Automatic deferral provisions do not apply to current Participants. Only new Participants described in subsection (3)(i) are subject to the automatic deferral provisions. [Note: See Section 3.03(c)(2)(i) of the Plan for the application of this subsection under an EACA.]
(D)    Describe:     
[Note: Any special provisions under subsection (D) must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(iii)    Expiration of affirmative deferral elections. Unless this subsection (iii) is elected, for purposes of the automatic deferral provisions of the Plan, a Participant’s affirmative elective deferral election will not expire. If this subsection (iii) is elected, a Participant’s affirmative deferral election will expire:
(A)    at the end of each Plan Year.
(B)    Describe date that the affirmative election will expire:     
[Note: The date must be definite and not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees.]
If a Participant fails to complete a new affirmative deferral election subsequent to the prior election expiring, the Participant becomes subject to the automatic deferral percentage as specified in the Plan pursuant to the automatic contribution arrangement provisions. Each year, the Participant can always complete a new affirmative election and designate a new deferral percentage.
(iv)Treatment of automatic deferrals. Any Salary Deferrals made pursuant to an automatic deferral election will be treated as Pre-Tax Salary Deferrals, unless designated otherwise under this subsection (iv).
Any Salary Deferrals made pursuant to an automatic deferral election will be treated as Roth Deferrals. [Note: This subsection (iv) may only be checked if Roth Deferrals are permitted under AA §6A-5.]

Cycle 3 Nonstandardized PS/401(k) Plan #01-001



[Note: Any Salary Deferral Election (including an election not to defer under the Plan) made after the effective date of the automatic deferral provisions will override such automatic deferral provisions. See Section 6.04(b)(1)(iii) of the Plan for the application of this provision to rehired Employees.]
(4)Application of automatic increase. Unless designated otherwise under this subsection (4), if an automatic increase is selected under subsection (2)(ii) above, the automatic increase will take effect as of the first day of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant. (See Section 3.03(c)(2)(i) of the Plan.)
(i)    First Plan Year. Instead of applying as of the second Plan Year, the automatic increase described in subsection (2)(ii) takes effect as of the appropriate date (as designated under subsection (iii) below) within the first Plan Year following the date automatic contributions begin.
(ii)    Designated Plan Year. Instead of applying as of the second Plan Year, the automatic increase described in subsection (2)(ii) takes effect as of the appropriate date (as designated under subsection
(iii) below) within the     Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the automatic deferral election first becomes effective with respect to a Participant.
(iii)    Effective date. The automatic increase described under subsection (2)(ii) is generally effective as of the first day of the Plan Year. If this subsection (iii) is checked, instead of becoming effective on the first day of the Plan Year, the automatic increase will be effective on:
(A)    The anniversary of the Participant's date of hire.
(B)    The anniversary of the Participant's first automatic deferral contribution.
(C)    The first day of each calendar year.
(D)    Other date: On or around April 1    
(iv)    Special rules:     
[Note: Any special rules under this subsection (iv) must satisfy the rules applicable to automatic increases under Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-3, if applicable, and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(5)Treatment of terminated Employees who are rehired. Unless designated otherwise below, in applying the automatic deferral provisions under this AA§6A-8, including the automatic increase provisions, a rehired Participant is treated as a new Employee (regardless of the amount of time since the rehired Employee terminated employment).
(i) Rehired Employees not treated as new Employee. In applying the automatic deferral provisions under this AA§6A-8, including the automatic increase provisions, a rehired Participant is not treated as a new Employee. Thus, for example, a rehired Participant’s deferral percentage will be calculated based on the date the individual first began making automatic deferrals under the Plan.
(ii) Describe special rules applicable to rehired employees:     
[Note: Any special rules under this subsection (ii) must satisfy the rules applicable to automatic enrollment under Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1, if applicable, and must satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements under Code §401(a)(4).]
(c)    Permissible Withdrawals under an Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement (EACA).
(1)    Permissible withdrawals allowed. If the Plan satisfies the requirements for an EACA (as set forth in Section 3.03(c)(2) of the Plan), the permissible withdrawal provisions under Section 3.03(c)(2) of the Plan apply. Thus, a Participant who receives an automatic deferral may withdraw such contributions (and earnings attributable thereto) within the time period set forth under Section 3.03(c)(2) of the Plan, without regard to the in-service distribution provisions selected under AA §10-1. Unless elected otherwise below, if an Employee does not make automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year (e.g., due to termination of employment), the Plan may allow such Employee to take a permissive withdrawal, but only with respect to default contributions made after the Employee’s return to employment.
The ability to take permissible withdrawals does not apply to rehired Employees, even if such Employees have not made automatic deferrals to the Plan for an entire Plan Year due to termination of employment.
(2)    No permissible withdrawals. Although the Plan contains an automatic deferral election that is designed to satisfy the requirements of an EACA, the permissible withdrawal provisions under this subsection (c) are not available.

(3)    Time period for electing a permissible withdrawal. Instead of a 90-day election period, a Participant must request a permissible withdrawal no later than     [may not be less than 30 nor more than 90] days after the date the Plan Compensation from which such Salary Deferrals are withheld would otherwise have been included in gross income.
(d)    Other automatic deferral provisions:     
[Note: Any language added under this subsection must comply with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code
§401(a)(4) and the regulations thereunder.]
