EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The Company hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (SEC File No. 333-190051) by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 to Form S-4 to register 7,159,686 shares of Voting Common Stock, no par value, issuable in connection with grants of equity awards or purchases of shares of Voting Common Stock under the plans listed on the cover of this Registration Statement (the “Plans”).

 

On or about November 8, 2013, the Company will complete a reclassification of its capital stock that will result in holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock having the right to receive an equal number of shares of Voting Common Stock (the “Reclassification”). Immediately following the Reclassification, New Young Broadcasting Holding Co., a Delaware corporation (“Young”), will merge with a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), with Young surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Equity-based awards granted pursuant to Plans that are granted or remain outstanding after the reclassification are exercisable or convertible, as applicable, into shares of Voting Common Stock.

Item 4. Description of Securities

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 13.1-692.1 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”) permits a corporation to provide in its articles of incorporation that an officer or director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages in any proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation or brought by or on behalf of stockholders of the corporation for breach of fiduciary duty, except if the officer or director engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law, including, without limitation, any claim of unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the market for any security. The Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for such limitation of liability.

 

Sections 13.1-697 and 13.1-702 of the VSCA empower a corporation to indemnify any current or former director or officer made a party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding; provided that such director or officer conducted himself or herself in good faith; believes, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, that his or her conduct was in the corporation’s best interest and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

The VSCA also provides that a corporation may make any other or further indemnity (including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation) if authorized by its articles of incorporation or a stockholder-adopted bylaw, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.

 

The Registrant’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, to be effective upon the closing of the Merger, will provide that it shall indemnify (a) any person who was or is a party to any proceeding, including a proceeding brought by a stockholder in the right of the combined company or brought by or on behalf of stockholders of the combined company, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the combined company, except for liability resulting from such person having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or (b) any director or officer who is or was serving at the request of the combined company as a director, trustee, partner or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability incurred by him in connection with such proceeding unless he or she is engaged in willful misconduct or a known violation of criminal law. The combined company is also expressly required to pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by any applicant, director or officer who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. The advancement and reimbursement obligations of the combined company are subject to a written undertaking by the person to reimburse such expenses in the event that it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification due to an ultimate determination that such person’s conduct failed to meet the required standard of conduct.

 

In addition, under the Merger agreement, the combined company will indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors and officers of the Registrant and Young following the closing of the transaction to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law in connection with any actual or threatened claim, suit, or other action and any losses, claims, damages, costs, judgments, fines, penalties and other amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such claim, suit, or other action, whether instituted by the Registrant or Young, a government entity or any other person, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to such closing (including in connection with the approval of the merger agreement and the closing of the transaction), and advance such person his or her legal and other expenses, subject to an undertaking by such person to reimburse such expenses in the event that it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

(2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of this issue.

(b)     for the preceding Plan Year had Compensation from the Employer for the Plan Year in excess of $80,000.

 

For purposes of this Section, the determination of 415 Compensation shall be made by including amounts which are contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and which are not includible in the gross income of the Participant under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), or 402(h), and Employee contributions described in Code Section 414(h)(2) that are treated as Employer contributions.

The same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under (i) or (ii), as the case may be, and under (iii).

 

Notwithstanding the above, (i) no more than 501 Hours of Service are required to be credited to an Employee on account of any single continuous period during which the Employee performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation period); (ii) an hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period during which no duties are performed is not required to be credited to the Employee if such payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with applicable workers’ compensation, or unemployment compensation or disability insurance laws; and (iii) Hours of Service are not required to be credited for a payment which solely reimburses an Employee for medical or medically related expenses incurred by the Employee.

 

For purposes of this Section, a payment shall be deemed to be made by or due from the Employer regardless of whether such payment is made by or due from the Employer directly, or indirectly through, among others, a trust fund, or insurer, to which the Employer contributes or pays premiums and regardless of whether contributions made or due to the trust fund, insurer, or other entity are for the benefit of particular Employees or are on behalf of a group of Employees in the aggregate.

 

An Hour of Service must be counted for the purpose of determining a Year of Service, a Break in Service, and employment commencement date (or reemployment commencement date). The provisions of Department of Labor Regulation Section 2530.200b-2(b) and (c), are incorporated herein by reference.

Each Employee will receive credit for Years of Service, for purposes of vesting in his Profit Sharing Contributions, for the period of his employment in a group of an Employer’s employees which is not eligible for participation in this Plan. However, such periods of service shall not be taken into account for any other Plan purpose.

 

(e)     Employment before a Five-Year Break in Service. A non-vested Participant who is not Vested in any portion of his Account and who incurs a Break in Service equal to the greater of (i) five years, or (ii) such Participant’s “pre-break” Years of Service, as determined under this Section, will lose all his credit for Years of Service earned before such Break in Service, for purposes of vesting in his Profit Sharing Contributions.

 

(f)     Service Spanning. If an Employee quits, is discharged, or retires and returns to work within the 12-month period beginning on his initial absence from service, such period of absence shall be credited as a period of service for purposes of determining Years of Service.

3.05.

Omission of Eligible Employee

 

If, in any Plan Year, any Eligible Employee who should be included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously omitted and discovery of such omission is not made until after a contribution by his Employer for the year has been made, the Employer shall make a subsequent contribution with respect to the omitted Eligible Employee in the amount which the Employer would have contributed with respect to him had he not been omitted.

3.06.

Inclusion of Ineligible Employee

 

If, in any Plan Year, any person who should not have been included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously included and discovery of such incorrect inclusion is not made until after a contribution for the year has been made, the Employer shall not be entitled to recover the contribution made with respect to the ineligible person, regardless of whether or not a deduction is allowable with respect to such contribution.

ARTICLE IV
INVESTMENTS

 

4.01.

Investment of Participants’ Accounts

 

(a)     A Participant’s Elective Contribution Account, Roth Account, Voluntary Contributions and Profit Sharing Account shall be invested, as the Participant shall elect, among investments (including investment in Common Stock), selected by the Investment Committee in its sole discretion. A Beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall have the same rights as a Participant under this Article. A Participant’s or Beneficiary's election to liquidate and reinvest any portion of his Elective Contribution Account, Roth Account, Voluntary Contributions and Profit Sharing Account invested in Common Stock shall be limited as set forth in Section 4.03(b).

 

(b)     By providing Participants with the ability to self-direct the investment of their Accounts in the investment options set forth below, this Plan complies with the requirements of ERISA Section 404(c) and related Department of Labor Regulations. As such, Plan Fiduciaries shall not be liable for losses that are the direct result of a Participant’s investment selections, in accordance with the rules of ERISA Section 404(c).

 

(c)     All Matching Contributions and Safe Harbor Matching Contributions shall be invested initially in the Common Stock Fund. The Trustee shall allocate to the Account of each Participant as of each Allocation Date out of the total units of the Common Stock Fund the number of units of the Common Stock Fund as may be purchased by such funds in the Participant’s Account. Such allocation of units shall be at the cost of the units on the actual date purchased. The Trustee and the designated Fiduciary may, to the extent necessary, maintain in cash a part of the Common Stock Fund; and they shall not be liable for interest on the portion maintained as cash. The Trustee shall maintain a record of any cash or cash equivalents under the Common Stock Fund and any earnings therefrom shall be allocated under the Common Stock Fund in the same manner as set forth in Section 4.02.

 

4.02.

Selection of Investment Option and Allocation of Net Income/Loss

 

A Participant shall select investment options at the time he files an application to become a Participant (any such selections shall be in increments of 1 percent). If a Participant does not select the funds in which his Elective Contribution Account, Roth Account, Voluntary Contributions Account and Profit Sharing Account shall be invested, or if a Participant is not making Elective Contributions or Roth Contributions but receives a Profit Sharing Contribution allocation, 100 percent of such Participant’s Elective Contribution Account, Roth Account, Voluntary Contribution Account and Profit Sharing Account shall be invested in The Fidelity Freedom Income Fund (or a successor investment fund selected by the Company). A Participant may change his investment options on a daily basis, except as limited by Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05.

 

As of each Valuation Date, the Company and the Trustee shall allocate to each Participant electing investment in a fund, the net income (or loss), including all realized and unrealized gains and losses, of that fund since the last Valuation Date attributable to his Account, according to the ratio of the portion of each Participant’s Account invested in that fund as of the day immediately following the last Valuation Date, less any withdrawals or transfers since such date, to the sum of all portions of the Participants’ Account balances invested in that fund, similarly determined. A Participant may change his investment options on a daily basis, except as limited by Section 4.03.

 

 
27

 

 

4.03.

Participants’ Investments in the Common Stock Fund

 

(a)     The Trustee and the Company shall allocate to each Participant’s Account, as of the applicable Valuation Date, and in part out of shares of Common Stock acquired by the Trustee for such purpose, the proportional interest (units) of the Common Stock Fund (including an underlying interest in full shares, fractional shares and cash equivalents) as may be purchased by the funds in such Participant’s Account available and designated for such investment. Such allocation of units of the Common Stock Fund shall be at the purchase price of the Common Stock Fund on such Valuation Date. However, if such purchase takes place over more than one Valuation Date, the allocation of units shall be at the specific purchase price of each purchase of the Common Stock Fund, as of each day (as provided for under the Trust). The Trustee may, to the extent necessary, maintain in cash or cash equivalents, a part of the funds invested in the Common Stock Fund. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any portion maintained as cash. The Trustee shall maintain a record of any uninvested cash under the Common Stock Fund. To the extent that any earnings are derived from funds awaiting investment in Common Stock, such earnings shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts invested in the Common Stock Fund in the same manner as set forth in Section 4.02.

 

(b)     Effective January 1, 2012, or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, a Participant who transfers all or part of his Common Stock Fund into another investment fund cannot liquidate and transfer amounts held in other investment funds into the Common Stock Fund until the first day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month of the most recent liquidation and transfer out of the Common Stock Fund. This restriction shall not apply to the investment of future Elective Contributions, Roth Contributions or Voluntary Contributions made by the Participant, or future Matching Contributions, Profit Sharing Contributions or Safe Harbor Matching Contributions made by the Employer.

 

4.04.

Acquisition of Common Stock by the Trustee

 

Shares of Common Stock for the Common Stock Fund shall be purchased by the Trustee from time to time out of funds held by the Trustee under the Plan or advanced by the Employer. Such shares shall be purchased on the open market or from the Employer at the current market value thereof, or by the exercise of any rights to purchase shares granted with respect to shares of stock held by the Trustee. The Trustee shall also hold, for the purpose of allocation of units under the Common Stock Fund, shares of Common Stock acquired as a result of distributing the value of some Common Stock Fund units in cash upon withdrawal by a Participant and units of the Common Stock Fund forfeited by Participants. Units of the Common Stock Fund acquired under the Fund as a result of distributing the value thereof in cash shall be deemed to have been purchased by the Trustee on the Valuation Date coinciding with the effective date of the cash distribution. All units purchased by the Trustee shall be carried in the Account of the Trustee at the actual cost thereof, taking into account any expenses incident to the purchase thereof. Units of the Common Stock Fund that are forfeited shall be deemed to have been purchased by the Trustee on the Valuation Date coinciding with the reallocation of the forfeiture.

 

 
28

 

 

4.05.

Stock Rights, Splits and Dividends

 

A Participant shall have no right to request, direct or demand the Trustee to exercise, on his behalf, rights to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Trustee, in its discretion, may exercise or sell any rights to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the Trustee, whether or not allocated to individual Accounts. Shares of Common Stock received by the Trustee by reason of a stock split or a stock dividend shall be appropriately allocated to the Accounts of the Participants under the Common Stock Fund.

 

4.06.

Voting of Securities

 

(a)     Subject to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall have the power to vote any stocks, bonds or other securities; to give general or special proxies or powers of attorney with or without power of substitution; to oppose, or to consent to, or otherwise participate in, corporate reorganizations or other changes affecting corporate securities, and to delegate discretionary powers, and to pay any assessments or charges in connection therewith; and, generally, to exercise any of the powers of an owner with respect to stocks, bonds, securities or other property held by it.

 

(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, before each annual or special meeting of the shareholders of Media General, Inc., the Trustee shall furnish each Participant a written or electronic copy of the Proxy Statement for such meeting as furnished to the Trustee by Media General, Inc., together with a form addressed to the Trustee requesting the Participant’s confidential instructions on how the Common Stock credited to his other Accounts as of the Valuation Date preceding the Record Date should be voted. The request for instructions shall inform each Participant that he or she provides his or her voting instructions as the named fiduciary for his or her own shares under his or her own Accounts. Upon receipt of such instructions, the Trustee shall vote such Common Stock as instructed. Any shares of Common Stock held by the Trustee unallocated, in suspense, or as to which the Trustee receives no voting instructions, shall be voted by the Trustee in the same proportion as the Trustee has received directions from all Participants (as to all of their shares), unless the Trustee definitely determines it is imprudent to do so. In such case, in fulfilling its legal duty, the Trustee shall vote such Common Stock, taking into account solely the best financial interests of the Participants and Beneficiaries.

 

Further, all voting instructions received by the Trustee from a Participant shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged or released to any person, including directors, officers and employees of the Company or any affiliated company.

 

(c)     In the event of any tender offer for any shares of Common Stock, the Trustee, shall furnish each Participant with a form for the Participant’s direction to the Trustee as to whether any of the aggregate whole shares of Common Stock credited to the Participant’s Accounts should be tendered. The request for instructions shall inform each Participant that he or she provides his or her tender instructions as the named fiduciary for his or her own shares under his or her own Accounts. Upon receipt of a direction from the Participant, the Trustee shall tender or not tender such shares, as designated in such direction. The Trustee shall tender under this subparagraph only the Participant’s shares for which the Trustee has received timely instructions to tender.

 

 
29

 

 

If within a reasonable time the Trustee receives no directions with respect to a Participant’s shares under the Plan, or otherwise holds any unallocated shares in Plan suspense accounts, the Trustee shall tender or not tender all such shares in proportion to all of the Participant directions to tender or not tender (as to all of their shares), unless the Trustee definitely determines it is imprudent to do so. In such case, in fulfilling its legal duty, the Trustee shall tender or not tender such Common Stock, taking into account solely the best financial interests of the Participants and Beneficiaries.

 

Further, all tender instructions received by the Trustee from a Participant shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged or released to any person, including directors, officers and employees of the Company, any affiliated company or any person making an offer.

 

4.07.

Investment of Income

 

Income collected by the Trustee in Funds other than the Common Stock Fund shall be reinvested in the same fund. Dividends collected by the Trustee on Common Stock shall be invested in additional Common Stock. To the extent that any earnings are derived from funds awaiting investment in Common Stock, such earnings shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts in the same manner as set forth in Section 4.02.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, effective as of January 1, 2002, a Participant may elect to either (i) take a cash distribution of dividends payable on Common Stock held under the Common Stock Fund or (ii) reinvest such dividends in the Common Stock Fund. The Company, as Administrator, shall notify Participants when dividends are payable.

 

4.08.

Addition and Removal of Investment Funds

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, the Investment Committee shall have and retain the authority to add and remove investment funds from the Plan.

Effective through December 31, 2008, the Plan shall comply with Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m) by meeting the Safe Harbor requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11). Such Safe Harbor Matching Contribution shall be suspended effective April 1, 2009 until such date as announced by the Administrator (the “Suspension Period”).

(c)     The Safe Harbor Matching Contributions attributable to any Plan Year shall not exceed the maximum amount allowable as a deduction to the Employer for such Plan Year under the provisions of Code Section 404, as amended. All contributions by the Employer shall be made in cash or in such property as is acceptable to the Trustee.

5.02.

Elective Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions and Roth Contributions

 

(a)     Effective as of April 1, 2004, each Participant may elect to defer from one percent to 30 percent of his Compensation, in whole percentages. A deferral election (or modification of an earlier election) may not be made with respect to Compensation that is currently available on or before the date the Participant executed such election. A Participant may elect to change his deferral election. Any such change will not become effective until the first day of the payroll period following the Company’s receipt and processing of such election.

 

(b)     Notwithstanding the above, effective as of April 1, 2003, Participants who will attain age 50 during a Plan Year may elect to defer an additional amount of Compensation in excess of the applicable Code and Plan limits for that Plan Year as a Catch-Up Contribution in accordance with and as limited by Code Section 414(v). A Participant’s Catch-Up Contribution may not exceed the lesser of (i) the applicable dollar amount, as defined at Code Section 414(v), or (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the Participant’s Compensation under Code Section 415(c)(3) over (b) the Participant’s other elective deferrals for that Plan Year, without regard to Code Section 414(v). Effective as of January 1, 2004, Participants may elect to make additional deferrals on a payroll by payroll basis equal to a pro rata share of the annual Catch Up Limit under Code Section 414(v). Effective as of February 1, 2004, a Participant eligible to make Catch Up Contributions may not defer more than 50 percent of his Compensation as a Catch Up Contribution, subject to the limits of Code Section 414(v). Such Catch Up Contributions shall not be taken into account in determining the Plan’s or the Participant’s compliance with the limits or restrictions of Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k)(3), 402(g), 404(a), 410(b), 415 or 416, unless otherwise required under Code Section 414(v) or applicable Regulations.

 

(c)     The amount by which Compensation is reduced shall be that Participant’s Elective Contribution and allocated to that Participant’s Elective Contribution Account. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section to the contrary, the Administrator shall retain the unrestricted right to limit the Elective Contribution (including Roth Contributions) of any Highly Compensated Employee at any time, in order to prevent the contribution of Excess Deferred Compensation or Excess Annual Additions.

 

 
32

 

 

(d)     Amounts held in the Participant’s Elective Contribution Account may not be distributable earlier than:

 

(1)     a Participant’s separation from service, Total and Permanent Disability, or death;

 

(2)     a Participant’s attainment of age 59½;

 

(3)     a Participant’s election to receive an advance hardship distribution, if approved, pursuant to Section 7.12;

 

(4)     the date the Plan terminates pursuant to Section 8.02, without maintenance or establishment of another defined contribution plan.

 

(e)     A Participant’s Elective Contribution made under this Plan and all other plans, contracts or arrangements of the Employer maintaining this Plan shall not exceed the limitation imposed by Code Section 402(g), as in effect for the calendar year in which such Plan Year began. This dollar limitation shall be adjusted annually pursuant to the method provided in Code Section 415(d), in accordance with applicable Regulations.

 

(f)     In the event a Participant has received a hardship distribution pursuant to Regulation 1.401(k)-l(d)(2)(iii)(B) from any other plan maintained by the Employer or from his Account pursuant to Section 7.13, then such Participant shall not be permitted to elect to have Elective Contribution contributed to the Plan on his behalf for a period of six months following the date of the receipt of the distribution. Upon such hardship withdrawal, the Participant’s next possible entry date shall be the first day of the calendar quarter following the expiration of his six-month suspension period.

 

(g)     If a Participant’s Elective Contribution under this Plan, together with any elective deferrals (as defined in Regulation 1.402(g)-l(b)) under another qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in Code Section 401(k)), a simplified employee pension (as defined in Code Section 408(k)), a salary reduction arrangement (within the meaning of Code Section 3121(a)(5)(D)), or a trust described in Code Section 501(c)(18) cumulatively exceed the limitation imposed by Code Section 402(g) (as adjusted annually in accordance with the method provided in Code Section 415(d) pursuant to Regulations) for such Participant’s taxable year, the Participant may, not later than March 1 following the close of his taxable year, notify the Administrator in writing of such excess and request that his Elective Contribution under this Plan be reduced by an amount specified by the Participant. If any designated Roth Contributions were made to the Plan on the Participant’s behalf, the notification must identify the extent, if any, to which the excess deferrals are comprised of designated Roth Contributions. Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the Administrator shall not distribute allocable Income for the gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Deferred Compensation occurred and prior to the distribution). In such event, the Administrator may direct the Trustee to distribute such excess amount (and any Income allocable to such excess amount) to the Participant not later than the first April 15th following the close of the Participant’s taxable year. Distributions in accordance with this paragraph may be made for any taxable year of the Participant which begins after December 31, 1986. Any distribution of less than the entire amount of Excess Deferred Compensation and Income shall be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Deferred Compensation and Income. The amount distributed shall not exceed the Participant’s Deferred Compensation under the Plan for the taxable year. Any distribution on or before the last day of the Participant’s taxable year must satisfy each of the following conditions:

 

 
33

 

 

(1)     the Participant shall designate the distribution as Excess Deferred Compensation;

 

(2)     the distribution must be made after the date on which the Plan received the Excess Deferred Compensation; and

 

(3)     the Plan must designate the distribution as a distribution of Excess Deferred Compensation.

 

(h)     Notwithstanding Subsection (f) above, a Participant’s Excess Deferred Compensation shall be reduced, but not below zero, by any distribution for the Plan Year beginning with or within the taxable year of the Participant.

 

(i)     The Employer and the Administrator shall implement the deferral elections provided for herein, in accordance with the following.

 

(1)     A Participant may commence making elective deferrals to the Plan on or after the first of the month following 45 days of employment. The Participant shall make such an election by entering into a Salary Reduction Agreement with the Employer and filing such agreement with the Administrator. Such election initially shall be effective beginning with the first of the month following the acceptance of the Salary Reduction Agreement by the Administrator, shall not have retroactive effect and shall remain in force until revoked; provided, however, the termination of the Participant’s employment, or the cessation of participation for any other reason, shall be deemed to revoke any Salary Reduction Agreement then in effect, effective immediately following the close of the pay period within which such termination or cessation is received and processed by the Administrator.

 

(2)     A Participant may modify a prior salary reduction election at any time during the Plan Year and concurrently make a new election, to be effective as of the first of the month following such election, or, if later, the first of the month following such date as the payroll administrator processes such modification (the payroll administrator shall take all necessary actions to process such modifications as soon as is practical).

 

(3)     A Participant may elect to revoke prospectively his Salary Reduction Agreement in its entirety at any time during the Plan Year. Such revocation shall become effective as of the beginning of the first pay period coincident with or next following receipt of such revocation by the Administrator.

 

 
34

 

 

(j)     Effective for the first payroll immediately following April 1, 2009, and during the Suspension Period described in Section 5.01(a), the Administrator may limit the amount of Elective Contributions made by Highly Compensated Employees as needed to meet the limitations set forth in Appendix A.

 

(k)     Effective July 1, 2011, a Participant may designate part or all of his Elective Contribution to be a Roth Contribution. The election and designation shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as deferral elections set forth in Section 5.02. The maximum amount that a Participant may designate as a Roth Contribution, when combined with his Elective Contribution, cannot exceed 30% of his Compensation for each payroll period. The amount of a Participant’s Elective Contribution which a Participant may designate as a Roth Contribution may not exceed the limit set forth in Code Section 402A(c)(2).

 

5.03.

Rollover Contributions

 

Effective as of January 1, 2001, a Participant may contribute an eligible rollover distribution (as defined at Code Section 402) from another qualified plan or conduit IRA, subject to the Administrator’s approval. The amount of any rollover contribution shall be contributed and allocated to that Participant’s Rollover Account. Notwithstanding the above, the Plan shall not accept the rollover of after-tax contributions from Participants.

 

For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, a Participant may elect to transfer employee (after-tax) or Roth elective deferral contributions, if any, by means of a direct rollover to the Plan as a Rollover Contribution. The Plan shall account separately for amounts so transferred, including accounting separately for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not includible in gross income

 

5.04.

Profit Sharing Contributions

 

Effective as of January 1, 2007, the Employer shall contribute to the Trust Fund such sums as the Board may from time to time determine; provided that no contribution shall be made in any taxable year of the Employer which is in excess of the maximum amount allowable as a deduction under the provisions of the Code then in effect, including the maximum amount deductible under the carry-over provisions relating to the Employer’s contributions in previous years of less than the maximum permissible amount. The Employer’s contribution for any Plan Year may be made at any time prescribed by law to make such contributions deductible for the taxable year of the Employer. Such Profit Sharing Contributions shall be allocated as provided in Section 5.06 as of the last Valuation Date of the Plan Year to the Profit Sharing Accounts of all Participants who have satisfied the requirements of section 3.01(c) and (i) are Employees on the last day of the Plan Year and, for Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 2008, completed 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year; (ii) died, retired, became Totally and Permanently Disabled during the Plan Year; (iii) during the year attained age 55 and completed 10 Years of Service if the Participant was hired prior to January 1, 2007; or (iv) during the Plan Year attained age 60 and completed 10 Years of Service if the Participant was hired after December 31, 2006. For purposes of this section, a Participant’s Years of Service shall be adjusted as provided in Section 7.04(e).

5.05.

Time of Payment of Employer’s Contribution

 

The Employer generally shall pay to the Trustee its contribution to the Plan for each Plan Year within the time prescribed by law, including extensions of time, for the filing of the Employer’s federal income tax return for the Employer’s Fiscal Year.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Elective Contributions accumulated through payroll deductions shall be paid to the Trustee, as soon as practical for the Administrator, following the end of each payroll (with respect to Elective Contributions attributable to that payroll); however, in no event shall any accumulated payroll deductions be held for longer than 15 Business Days from the end of the calendar month of the payroll deduction (prior to payment to, and investment by, the Trustee). The provisions of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-102, as amended, are incorporated herein by this reference. For purposes of this Section, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any day designated as a holiday by the Federal Government.

 

Further, any additional Employer contributions which are allocable to the Participant’s Elective Contribution Account for a Plan Year shall be paid to the Plan no later than the 12-month period immediately following the close of such Plan Year.

 

5.06.

(a)     The Administrator shall establish and maintain an Account in the name of each Participant, to which the Administrator shall credit as of each Valuation Date all amounts allocated to each such Participant as set forth herein.

 

(b)     The Employer shall provide the Administrator with all information required by the Administrator to make a proper allocation of the Employer’s contributions for each Plan Year. Within a reasonable period of time after the date of receipt by the Administrator of such information, the Administrator shall allocate such contribution, as follows:

 

(1)     For the amount equal to the Safe Harbor Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.01(a) to each Participant’s Safe Harbor Matching Contribution Account, in an amount determined in accordance with Section 5.01(a).

 

(2)     An amount equal to the Elective Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.02(a).

 

(3)     Profit Sharing Contributions shall be allocated to the Participant’s Profit Sharing Account in the ratio that the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year bears to the total compensation for all such Participants for the Plan Year, subject to sections 3.01(c) and 5.04.

 

 
36

 

 

(4)     For the amount equal to the Matching Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.01(e) to each Participant’s Matching Contribution Account in an amount determined in accordance with Section 5.01(e).

 

(5)     An amount equal to a Participant’s Roth Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.02(k) shall be allocated to the Participant’s Roth Account.

 

(c)     As of each Valuation Date, before allocation of any Employer contributions, any net income of the Trust Fund shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10. Each segregated Account maintained on behalf of a Participant shall be credited or charged with its separate earnings and losses.

 

(d)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Top Heavy Plan Year, the sum of the Employer’s contributions allocated to the Participant’s Account of each Non-Key Employee shall be equal to at least three percent of such Non-Key Employee’s 415 Compensation (reduced by contributions and forfeitures, if any, allocated to each Non-Key Employee in any defined contribution plan included with this plan in a Required Aggregation Group). However, if (i) the sum of the Employer’s contributions allocated to the Participant’s Account of each Key Employee for such Top Heavy Plan Year is less than three percent of each Key Employee’s 415 Compensation and (ii) this Plan is not required to be included in an Aggregation Group to enable a defined benefit plan to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410, the sum of the Employer’s contributions allocated to the Participant’s Account of each Non-Key Employee shall be equal to the largest percentage allocated to the Participant’s Account of any Key Employee. However, in determining whether a Non-Key Employee has received the required minimum allocation, such Non-Key Employee’s Elective Contributions and Matching Contributions needed to satisfy the “Actual Deferral Percentage” tests pursuant to Appendix A or the “Actual Contribution Percentage” test of Appendix A shall not be taken into account. For Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2002, however, any matching contribution provided under the Plan shall be taken into account in meeting the Code’s minimum required top-heavy contribution for that Plan Year.

 

However, no such minimum allocation shall be required in this Plan for any Non-Key Employee who participates in another defined contribution plan subject to Code Section 412 providing such benefits included with this Plan in a Required Aggregation Group.

 

Notwithstanding Section 5.01, for purposes of the minimum allocations set forth above, the percentage allocated to the Participant’s Elective Contribution Account of any Key Employee shall be equal to the ratio of the sum of the Employer’s contributions allocated on behalf of such Key Employee divided by the 415 Compensation for such Key Employee.

 

For any Top Heavy Plan Year, the minimum allocations set forth above shall be allocated to the Participant’s Elective Contribution Account of all Non-Key Employees who are Participants and who are employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, including Non-Key Employees who have (i) failed to complete a Year of Service; (ii) declined to make mandatory contributions (if required) or salary reduction contributions to the Plan, including Voluntary Contributions; and (iii) been excluded from participation because of their level of Compensation.

 

 
37

 

 

In lieu of the minimum allocations above, if a Non-Key Employee participates in this Plan and a defined benefit pension plan included in a Required Aggregation Group which is top heavy, the minimum benefits required under Code Section 416 shall be provided under the Company’s defined benefit pension plan.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions of this subsection or the Plan to the contrary, this Plan shall not be considered a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan Year in which it is considered a safe-harbor 401(k) Plan and does not provide for contributions other than elective deferrals and a safe-harbor matching contribution.

 

Further, for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2002, any matching contribution provided under the Plan shall be taken into account as to meeting the Code’s minimum required top-heavy contribution for that Plan Year.

 

(e)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Participants who terminated employment during the Plan Year shall share in the salary reduction contributions made by the Employer for the year of termination, without regard to Service credited for the Plan Year.

 

(f)     For purposes of benefit allocations effective for Plan Years beginning after January 1, 2010, the Plan will treat a Participant who dies or becomes Totally and Permanently Disabled while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)) with respect to the Employer as if the Participant had resumed employment in accordance with the Participant's reemployment rights under USERRA, on the day preceding death or Total and Permanent Disability (as the case may be) and terminated employment on the actual date of death or Total and Permanent Disability. For purposes of calculating any Matching Contributions allocated under this subsection, the Plan will determine the amount of Elective Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions of a Participant treated as reemployed under this subsection for purposes of applying Code Section 414(u)(8)(C) on the basis of the Participant's average actual Elective Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions for the lesser of: (i) the 12-month period of service with the Employer immediately preceding such qualified military service; or (ii) if service with the Employer is less than such 12-month period, the actual length of continuous service with the Employer

 

5.07.

Maximum Annual Additions

 

(a)     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, no Annual Addition will be accrued, distributed or otherwise payable at any time in excess of the limits set forth in Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder, as amended from time to time, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event that any provision of this Article V conflicts with Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder, Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder shall control.

 

(b)     For Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2002 the maximum Annual Additions credited to a Participant’s Accounts for any Limitation Year shall equal the lesser of: (1) $40,000 as adjusted or (ii) 100 percent of the Participant’s 415 Compensation for such Limitation Year. For any short Limitation Year, the dollar limitation in (i) above shall be reduced by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the short Limitation Year and the denominator of which is 12.

 

 
38

 

 

For Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2002, dividends paid on Common Stock shall not be included in determining whether contributions to a Participant’s Account exceed the above limit.

 

Catch Up Contributions, as defined at Section 5.02(a), shall not be taken into account in determining the Plan’s compliance with Code Section 415(b).

 

(c)     For purposes of this Section, Annual Additions means the sum credited to a Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year of (i) Employer contributions, (ii) Employee contributions for Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 1986, (iii) Forfeitures, (iv) amounts allocated, after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2) which is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer, and (v) amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable years ending after such date, which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate Account of a key employee (as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit plan (as defined in Code Section 419(e)) maintained by the Employer. Except, however, the 415 Compensation percentage limitation referred to in paragraph (b)(2) above shall not apply to: (i) any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code Section 419A(f)(2)) after separation from service which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition, or (ii) any amount otherwise treated as an Annual Addition under Code Section 415(1)(1).

 

(d)     Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan's definition of Annual Additions is modified as follows:

 

(1)     Annual Additions shall not include any payment made to restore losses to a Plan resulting from actions by a fiduciary for which there is reasonable risk of liability for breach of a fiduciary duty under ERISA or under other applicable federal or state law, where participants who are similarly situated are treated similarly with respect to the payments.

 

(2)     Annual Additions shall not include: (i) The direct transfer of a benefit or employee contributions from a qualified plan to this Plan; (ii) Rollover contributions (as described in Code Sections 401(a)(31), 402(c)(1), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3), and 457(e)(16)); (iii) repayments of loans made to a Participant from the Plan; and (iv) Repayments of amounts described in Code Section 411(a)(7)(B) (in accordance with Code Section 411(a)(7)(C)) and Code Section 411(a)(3)(D) or repayment of contributions to a governmental plan (as defined in Code Section 414(d)) as described in Code Section 415(k)(3), as well as Employer restorations of benefits that are required pursuant to such repayments.

 

(e)     For purposes of applying the limitations of Code Section 415, the transfer of funds from one qualified plan to another is not an Annual Addition. In addition, the following are not Employee contributions for the purposes of Section 5.09(b)(2): (i) rollover contributions (as defined in Code Sections 402(a)(5), 403(a)(5), 403(b)(8) and 408(d)(3)); (ii) repayments of loans made to a Participant from the Plan; (iii) repayments of distributions received by an Employee pursuant to Code Section 411(a)(7)(B) (cashouts); (iv) repayments of distributions received by an Employee pursuant to Code Section 411(a)(3)(D) (mandatory contributions); and (v) Employee contributions to a simplified employee pension excludable from gross income under Code Section 408(k)(6). The determination of 415 Compensation shall be made without regard to Code Sections 125, 402(a)(8) or 402(h)(1)(B), or for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, Code Section 132(f)(4).

 

 
39

 

 

(f)     415 Compensation shall include the Participant's wages, salaries, fees for professional services and other amounts for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment (including, but not limited to, commissions paid, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips and bonuses) paid and excluded during the Limitation Year. For Limitation Years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, a differential wage payment, as defined in Code Section 3401(h)(2), shall be treated as 415 Compensation for purposes of Code Section 415 and any other Code Section that references the definition of compensation under Code Section 415

 

(g)     Effective January 1, 2008, 415 Compensation also shall include compensation paid after a Participant's severance from employment with the Employer maintaining the Plan (or any other entity that is treated as the Employer pursuant to Code Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o)) that satisfies the following requirements.

 

(1)     The compensation is paid the later of 2 1/2 months after severance from employment or by the end of the limitation year that includes the date of such severance from employment.

 

(2)     The payment is regular compensation for services during the Participant's regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Participant's regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments; and

 

(3)     The payment would have been paid to the Participant prior to a severance from employment if the Participant had continued in employment with the Employer.

 

(h)     415 Compensation shall exclude:

 

(1)     Contributions made by an Employer to a plan of deferred compensation to the extent that, before application of Code Section 415 limitations, the contributions are not otherwise included in the gross income of the Participant for the taxable year in which contributed, contributions made to a simplified employee pension plan described in Code Section 408(k) to the extent such contributions are excludable from gross income, and any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation, regardless of whether such amounts are otherwise included in gross income when distributed, except any amounts received by a Participant pursuant to an unfunded non-qualified plan to the extent such amounts are otherwise included in the gross income of the Participant;

 

 
40

 

 

(2)     Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option; or, when restricted stock (or property) held by a Participant either becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;

 

(3)     Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option; and

 

(4)     Other amounts which receive special tax benefits, such as premiums for group term life insurance (but only to the extent that premiums are not otherwise included in gross income, or contributions made (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) towards the purchase of any annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) (whether or not the contributions are excludable from gross income); and

 

(5)     Effective January 1, 2008, any compensation paid after severance from employment that is not described in subsection (g) above.

 

(i)     415 Compensation for any Limitation Year shall not reflect compensation for a year in excess of the limitation of Code Section 401(a)(17), as adjusted, for that Limitation Year.

 

(j)     For purposes of this Section, the Limitation Year shall be the Plan Year.

 

(k)     The dollar limitation under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) shall be adjusted annually as provided in Code Section 415(d) pursuant to the Regulations. The adjusted limitation is effective as of the January 1st of each calendar year and is applicable to Limitation Years ending with or within that calendar year.

 

(l)     For purposes of this Section, all qualified defined benefit plans (whether terminated or not) ever maintained by the Employer shall be treated as one defined benefit plan, and all qualified defined contribution plans (whether terminated or not) ever maintained by the Employer shall be treated as one defined contribution plan and such benefits accrued or distributed under plans aggregated in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.415(f)-1 shall not exceed the limitations in Code Section 415.

 

(m)     For purposes of this Section, if the Employer is a member of a controlled group of corporations, trades or businesses under common control (as defined by Code Section 1563(a) or Code Section 414(b) and (c) as modified by Code Section 415(h)) or is a member of an affiliated service group (as defined by Code Section 414(m)), all Employees of such Employers shall be considered to be employed by a single Employer.

 

(n)     (1)     If a Participant participates in more than one defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer which have different Anniversary Dates, the maximum Annual Additions under this Plan shall equal the maximum Annual Additions for the Limitation Year minus any Annual Additions previously credited to such Participant’s Account during the Limitation Year.

 

 
41

 

 

  (2)     If a Participant participates in both a defined contribution plan subject to Code Section 412 and a defined contribution plan not subject to Code Section 412 maintained by the Employer which have the same Anniversary Date, Annual Additions will be credited to the Participant’s Account under the defined contribution plan subject to Code Section 412 prior to crediting Annual Additions to the Participant’s Account under the defined contribution plan not subject to Code Section 412.

 

  (3)     If a Participant participates in more than one defined contribution plan not subject to Code Section 412 maintained by the Employer which have the same Anniversary Date, the maximum Annual Additions under this Plan shall equal the product of (A) the maximum Annual Additions for the Limitation Year minus any Annual Additions previously credited under subparagraphs (1) or (2) above, multiplied by (B) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the Annual Additions which would be credited to such Participant’s Account under this Plan without regard to the limitations of Code Section 415 and (ii) the denominator of which is such Annual Additions for all plans described in this subparagraph.

 

5.08.

Correction of Excess Annual Additions

 

Effective January 1, 2008, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Annual Additions are exceeded for any Participant, then the Plan shall correct such excess in accordance with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS) as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2006-27 or any superseding guidance, including, but not limited to, the preamble of the final regulations under Code Section 415.

 

5.09.

Voluntary Contributions

 

(a)     For Plan Years ended on or before December 31, 2000, each Participant could elect to voluntarily contribute from one percent to 10 percent (in whole percentages) of his compensation earned while a Participant under this Plan. Such Voluntary Contributions may have entitled the Participant to receive Matching Contributions, subject to Section 5.01, as in effect on or before December 31, 2000. All such contributions were paid to the Trustee within a reasonable period of time, in no event later than 15 business days after the end of the calendar month in which the contribution was received from the Participant. The balance of each Participant’s Voluntary Contributions and earnings thereon shall be fully Vested at all times and shall not be subject to Forfeiture for any reason. On and after January 1, 2001, no further Voluntary Contributions shall be permitted. On and after January 1, 2001, each Participant’s previous Voluntary Contributions, if any, and any earnings thereon shall continue to be allocated to the Participant’s Voluntary Contribution Account.

 

(b)     A Participant may elect to withdraw his Voluntary Contributions and the actual earnings thereon in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of Section 7.12, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code Section 411(a)(11) and the Regulations thereunder. If the Administrator maintains sub-accounts with respect to Voluntary Contributions (and earnings thereon) which were made on or before a specified date, a Participant shall be permitted to designate which sub-account shall be the source for his withdrawal.

ARTICLE VI
VALUATIONS

 

6.01.

Valuation of the Trust Fund

 

The Administrator shall direct the Trustee, as of each Valuation Date, to determine the net worth of the assets comprising the Trust Fund as it exists on such Valuation Date, prior to taking into consideration the contribution to be allocated as of such Valuation Date. In determining such net worth, the Trustee shall value the assets comprising the Trust Fund at their fair market value as of the Valuation Date and shall deduct all expenses for which the Trustee has not obtained reimbursement from the Employer or the Trust Fund.

 

6.02.

Method of Valuation

 

In determining the fair market value of securities held in the Trust Fund which are listed on a registered stock exchange, the Administrator shall direct the Trustee to value the same at the prices they were last traded on such exchange preceding the close of business on the Valuation Date. If such securities were not traded on the Valuation Date, or if the exchange on which they are traded was not open for business on the Valuation Date, then the securities shall be valued at the prices at which they were last traded prior to the Valuation Date. Any unlisted security held in the Trust Fund shall be valued at its bid price next preceding the close of business on the Valuation Date, which bid price shall be obtained from a registered broker or an investment banker. In determining the fair market value of assets other than securities for which trading or bid prices can be obtained, the Trustee may appraise such assets itself, or in its discretion, employ one or more appraisers for that purpose and rely on the values established by such appraiser or appraisers. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions, however, any conflicting valuation provisions under the applicable Trust Agreement shall control.

(b)     Death Benefit for Register Participants until December 31, 2000

 

(1)     In the event of the death of a married Register Participant before his Annuity Starting Date under the Plan, any distribution to the surviving spouse on or before December 31, 2000, shall (provided that the Participant has been married to that spouse through the one year period immediately preceding the Participant’s death) be in the form of a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity, in accordance with Sections 7.05(b) and 7.07, unless the Register Participant elected an alternate Beneficiary or alternate form of death benefit in accordance with Section 7.05(b).

7.03.

Determination of Benefits in Event of Disability

 

In the event of a Participant’s Total and Permanent Disability, and distribution election, the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.05 and 7.07, shall distribute to such Participant all amounts credited to such Participant’s Account, as though he had retired.

46

 

 

7.04.

Determination of Vested Benefits upon Termination of Employment

 

(a)     A Participant shall, at all times, have a 100 percent vested interest in his Elective Contribution Account, his Roth Account, his Matching Contribution Account, his Safe Harbor Matching Account and his Rollover Account. A Park Participant or Register Participant shall also have a 100 percent vested interest in his Account.

 

(b)     A Participant who dies, becomes Totally and Permanently Disabled, or reaches Normal Retirement Age while in the employ of the Employer shall have a 100 percent vested interest in his Profit Sharing Account. Otherwise, a Participant shall have a vested, nonforfeitable interest in his Profit Sharing Account after he has completed three Years of Service with the Employer.

 

(c)     Except as provided as follows, all of an individual’s Years of Service are counted to determine the vested interest in a Participant’s Profit Sharing Account.

 

(1)     Service with the Employer before age 18 shall be excluded.

 

(2)     Service with the Employer before the Employer maintained this Plan or a predecessor plan shall be excluded.

 

(d)     A Participant's Vested interest in the Plan shall not be reduced as the result of any direct or indirect amendment to this Plan. For this purpose, the Plan shall be treated as having been amended, if the Plan provides for an automatic change in vesting due to a change in top heavy status (and this event occurs). In the event that the Plan is amended to change or modify any vesting schedule, a Participant with at least three Years of Service, on or before the expiration date of the election period, may elect to have his non-forfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. If a Participant fails to make such election, then such Participant shall be subject to the new vesting schedule. The Participant's election period hereunder shall commence on the adoption date of the amendment and shall end 60 days after the latest of:

 

(1)     the adoption date of the amendment;

 

(2)     the effective date of the amendment; or

 

(3)     the date the Participant receives written notice of the amendment from the Employer or Administrator.

 

(e)           (1)     If any Former Participant is reemployed by the Employer before a Break in Service occurs, he shall continue to participate in the Plan in the same manner as if such termination had not occurred, with respect to accruals and vesting.

 

(2)     If any Former Participant is reemployed after a Break in Service has occurred, and (A) the Former Participant was not Vested at the time of his termination and (B) the Former Participant incurs a Five-Year Break in Service, he shall not be credited with his pre-break Years of Service for purposes of Vesting (the rule of parity).

 

 
47

 

 

(f)     If a Participant terminates service before becoming Vested in his Profit Sharing Account and, in accordance with this Article VII, receives a distribution of his entire Vested Account, his Profit Sharing Account shall be forfeited. If a Participant receives a distribution of his entire Vested Account and resumes employment covered under the Plan, the Participant’s Profit Sharing Account will be restored to the amount on the date of distribution if the Participant repays to the Plan the full amount of the distribution attributable to Employer contributions before the earlier of five years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently re-employed, or the date the Participant incurs a Five-Year Break in Service following the date of the distribution. In the case of a terminated Participant whose vested interest under the Plan is zero, such Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested Account balance as of the Valuation Date following the Participant’s termination of employment and the Participant’s nonvested Account balance shall be forfeited as of such date. If the Participant is later reemployed and resumes employment covered under the Plan before he has incurred a Five-Year Break in Service, the value of his Profit Sharing Account that was forfeited, if any, pursuant to this subsection shall be reinstated to his Profit Sharing Account at its value as of the date of forfeiture.

 

7.05.

Distribution of Benefits

 

(a)     Distributions to Participants other than Register Participants. Upon the termination of such a Participant’s employment, the Administrator, pursuant to the election of the Participant, shall direct the Trustee to distribute to the Participant or his Beneficiary any amount to which he is entitled under the Plan in one or more of the methods set forth in (1) or (2) below.

 

(1)     One lump-sum payment in cash or in property; however, if Common Stock is held in the Participant’s Account, such shares of Common Stock will be distributed, unless the Participant requests that the shares be sold. In such case, the Administrator will instruct the Trustee to sell the shares and remit the proceeds, after deducting related expenses, to the Participant; or,

 

(2)     Payments over a period certain in monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual cash installments for up to 15 years.

 

In order to provide such installment payments, the Administrator may, at the Participant’s election (but shall not be required to): (A) segregate the aggregate amount thereof in a separate, federally insured savings account, certificate of deposit in a bank or savings and loan association, money market certificate or other liquid short-term security or (B) purchase a nontransferable annuity contract for a term certain (with no life contingencies) providing for such payment.

 

The period over which such payment is to be made shall not extend beyond the Participant’s own life expectancy (or the life expectancy of the Participant and his designated Beneficiary).

 

 
48

 

 

(3)     For Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2002, once otherwise eligible for a distribution under the terms of the Plan, the Code and ERISA, a Participant may request that any portion of his Account be distributed in Common Stock, with any fractional shares paid in cash.

 

(b)     Distributions to Register Participants until December 31, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing distribution provisions of Subsection (a) above, for distributions made on or before December 31, 2000, the distribution of the accounts (including the portions of a Register Participant’s account attributable to both transferred Register Accounts and contributions made under this Plan on or after January 1, 1999), of Register Participants shall be subject to the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity benefit election and consent rules provided for below.

 

(1)     Unless otherwise elected as provided below, a Register Participant who is married on his Annuity Starting Date and who does not die before the Annuity Starting Date shall receive the value of all of his benefits in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. The Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is a Joint and Survivor Annuity with the survivor annuity payable to the surviving spouse during the spouse's lifetime in an amount equal to 50% of the annuity payable to the Participant during his life.

 

The Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be the automatic form of payment for Register Participants. However, a Register Participant may elect to receive benefits in the optional forms set forth below, including a smaller annuity benefit with continuation of payments to the spouse at survivor percentages set forth below, which alternative joint and survivor annuity shall be equal in value to the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

 

An unmarried Register Participant shall receive the value of his benefit in the form of a life annuity. Such unmarried Participant, however, may elect in writing to waive the life annuity. The election must comply with the provisions of this Section, as if it were an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity by a married Register Participant, but without the spousal consent requirement.

 

(2)     Any election by a Register Participant to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity must be made by the Register Participant in writing during the election period and be consented to by the Participant's spouse. If the spouse is legally incompetent to give consent, the spouse's legal guardian, even if such guardian is the Participant, may give consent. Such election shall designate a Beneficiary (or a form of benefits) that may not be changed without spousal consent (unless the consent of the spouse expressly permits later designations by the Participant without the requirement of further consent by the spouse). The spouse's consent shall be irrevocable and must acknowledge the effect of such election and be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public.

 

 
49

 

 

Such consent shall not be required if it is established to the satisfaction of the Administrator that the required consent cannot be obtained because there is no spouse, the spouse cannot be located, or other circumstances that may be prescribed by Regulations. The election made by the Register Participant, consented to by his spouse, may be revoked by the Participant in writing without the consent of the spouse at any time during the election period. The number of revocations shall not be limited. Any new election, however, must comply with the requirements of this Subsection. Further, a former spouse's waiver shall not be binding on a new spouse.

 

(3)     The election period to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be the 90 day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date.

 

(4)     With regard to the election, the Administrator shall provide to the Register Participant no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days before the Annuity Starting Date a written explanation of:

 

(A)     the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity;

 

(B)     the Register Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity;

 

(C)     the right of the Participant's spouse to consent to any election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; and,

 

(D)     the right of the Register Participant to revoke such election, and the effect of such revocation.

 

The Participant can waive the 30-day notice requirement in accordance with Code Section 417 and the procedure established by the Administrator. In the case of distributions subject to the rules for joint and survivor annuities, such distributions may begin on or after the eighth day following the date the required explanation was provided to the Participant if the Participant and spouse so elect.

 

(5)     Pursuant to the election of a Register Participant, on or before December 31, 2000, and the consent of his spouse, the Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute to the Register Participant or his Beneficiary the amount to which he is entitled under his Register Account, in one of the optional methods set forth below. A Participant may elect to defer the distribution until the later of the year after the year in which the Participant reaches age 70 ½ or retires, unless otherwise restricted under the Code and the Regulations.

 

(A)     Lump Sum Option: Benefits shall be paid in a single lump sum payment, as of any applicable benefit commencement date, subject however, to the minimum distribution rules provided herein. Subsequent to such lump sum payment, no other benefits shall be payable under this Plan.

 

 
50

 

 

(B)     Partial Lump Sum Payment and Monthly Payments: Benefits shall be paid in a partial lump sum payment, followed by monthly installments over a period not exceeding the Participant’s (or Participant's surviving spouse’s) assumed life expectancy (or the assumed joint life expectancy of the Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) and the Beneficiary). If a Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) dies before receiving such selected number of certain payments hereunder, the balance of such payments shall be made to the Participant's (or Participant's surviving spouse’s) designated Beneficiary.

 

(C)     Installments Over a Term Certain: Benefits shall be paid in installment payments over a term not exceeding the Participant’s (or Participant's surviving spouse’s) assumed life expectancy (or the assumed joint life expectancy of the Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) and the Beneficiary). If a Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) dies before receiving such selected number of certain payments hereunder, the balance of such payments shall be made to the Participant's (or Participant's surviving spouse’s) designated Beneficiary. If the Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) dies after commencing this benefit and the designated Beneficiary is then deceased, the remaining payments (or the present value of such remaining accounts) will be payable to the Participant's estate.

 

(D)     Joint and Survivor Annuity Option: Benefits shall be paid under an annuity providing equal monthly payments to the Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) for his life, with payments continued after his death to a contingent annuitant for life, in a designated amount which is not less than 50% of, nor greater than 100% of, the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) and his contingent annuitant. The percentage payable to the contingent annuitant shall be either (1) 1% (2) 25% (3) 50% (4) 75% or (5) 100%.

 

(E)     Life Plus Term Certain Annuity Option: Benefits shall be paid under an annuity providing equal monthly payments over the Participant’s (or Participant's surviving spouse’s) life, with a guaranteed minimum payments to the Participant (or Participant's surviving spouse) or his Beneficiary for an initial number of years (months), as elected from the following: (1) 1 Year (12 months); (2) 5 Years (60 months); (3) 10 Years (120 months); or (4) 15 Years (180 months), but with such selection not to exceed the applicable life expectancies of the Participant (Surviving Spouse) or the Beneficiary. If the Participant (Surviving Spouse) dies before the minimum number of payments are made, the Participant’s (Surviving Spouse’s) Beneficiary will receive the remaining number of guaranteed payments.

 

The Participant must be informed of his right to defer a distribution hereunder. Failure to elect an option shall be deemed an election to defer the commencement of benefits, subject however, to the minimum required distribution rules provided below.

 

 
51

 

 

Notwithstanding the above, the only optional forms of distribution available to a Register Participant as of January 1, 2001 shall be the optional forms of distribution set forth at Plan Section 7.5(a) above.

 

(c)     Lump Sum Distributions. Effective March 28, 2005, if the value of a Participant’s benefit derived from Employer and Employee contributions under the Plan does not exceed $1,000, the Administrator shall immediately distribute such benefit without such Participant’s consent. Any distribution to a Participant who has a benefit which exceeds $1,000, shall require such Participant’s consent, if such distribution commences prior to his Normal Retirement Age. Effective from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005, a Participant’s Rollover Account shall not be taken into account in determining whether his or her Account exceeds the involuntary cashout limit. Effective January 1, 2006, a Participant’s Rollover Account shall be taken into account in determining whether his or her Account exceeds the involuntary cashout limit.

 

With regard to such required consent:

 

(1)     No consent shall be valid unless the Participant has received a notice satisfying the requirements of Code section 411. Such notice shall provide a general description of (a) the material features and an explanation of the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan; and (b) the Participant’s right to defer the receipt of the distribution and the consequences of failing to defer such receipt.

 

(2)     The notice described above shall be provided to the Participant no less than 30 days and no more than 180 days before the date on which distribution is to commence, provided that a distribution may commence less than 30 days after the date on which the notice is given to the Participant, provided that (a) the Participant is informed that he has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether to elect a distribution and the distribution option, and (b) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution.

 

(3)     If a Participant fails to consent, it shall be deemed an election to defer the commencement of payment of any benefit. However, any election to defer the receipt of benefits shall not apply with respect to distributions that are required under Subsection 7.05(c).

 

(4)     If a Participant indicates where he wants his involuntary distribution deposited or paid, the Administrator shall follow such direction. If a Participant fails to indicate where he wishes an involuntary distribution deposited or paid, the Company shall deposit such distribution in an IRA on his behalf. Effective January 1, 2006, the preceding sentence shall apply only if the involuntary distribution exceeds $1,000.

 

(d)     HEART Act Distribution. Effective for distributions made on or after January 1, 2010, for purposes of Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I) and this Plan Article, a Participant shall be treated as having incurred a severance from employment (termination of employment) during any period the Participant is performing service in the uniformed services described in Code Section 3401(h)(2)(A). However, the Plan will not distribute the benefit of such a Participant without that Participant's consent, so long as the Participant is receiving differential wage payments.

 

 
52

 

 

Effective for distributions made on or after January 1, 2010, a Participant who elects a distribution pursuant to this subsection, may not make an Elective Contribution or Catch-Up Contribution during the six-month period beginning on the date of such distribution

 

7.06.

Minimum Required Distributions

 

(a)     All distributions required under this section will be determined and made in accordance with the Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9).

 

(1)     TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Election. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to TEFRA Section 242(b)(2).

 

(2)     Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s required beginning date.

 

(3)     Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

 

(A)     If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½, if later.

 

(B)     If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, distributions to the designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

 

(C)     If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

 

(D)     If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this section, other than section (d)(2)(A), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

 

 
53

 

 

For purposes of this paragraph and paragraph (8), unless subparagraph (d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s required beginning date. If subparagraph (d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under subparagraph (d). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s required beginning date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under subparagraph (d), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

 

(4)     Form of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with subsections (c) and (d) of this article. If the participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations.

 

(5)     Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:

 

(A)     the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

 

(B)     if the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

 

(6)     Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant’s date of death

 

(7)     Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

 

(A)     If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

 

 
54

 

 

(i)     The Participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

(ii)     If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

 

(iii)     If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

(B)     If the participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s Account balance by the participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

(8)     Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

 

(A)     If the participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s Account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as provided in section 4.01.

 

(B)     If the participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the participant’s death, distribution of the participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the participant’s death.

 

 
55

 

 

(C)     If the participant dies before the date distributions begin, the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph (3), this paragraph (8) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.

 

(9)     Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Code Section 401(a)(9) and Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4.

 

(10)     Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under paragraph (5). The required minimum distribution for the participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

 

(b)     Life expectancy. On and after January 1, 2002, life expectancy shall be computed by use of the Single Life Table in Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9.

 

(c)     Pre-TEFRA election. The restrictions imposed by this Section shall not apply if a Participant has, prior to January 1, 1984, made a written designation to have his retirement benefit paid in an alternative method acceptable under Code Section 401(a) as in effect prior to the enactment of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Any such written designation made by a Participant shall be binding upon the Administrator, notwithstanding any contrary provision of Section 7.05.

 

(d)     Rollover distributions. This Section applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee’s election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution (as defined in Code Section 401(a)(31)(D)) paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan (as defined in Code Section 401(a)(31)(E) specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.

 

(1)     An “Eligible Rollover Distribution” is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancies) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); and, on or before December 31, 2001, the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities). On and after January 1, 2002, any rollover shall be treated as first consisting of taxable distributions. On or after January 1, 2002, an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include any portion of any hardship distribution provided under Section 7.13 attributable to Elective Contributions.

 

 

 
56

 

 

Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, Eligible Rollover Distribution also means employee (after-tax) or Roth elective deferral contributions (and, effective July 1, 2011, Roth Contributions) if any, transferred by means of a direct rollover to a qualified plan under Code Section 401(a) or to a 403(b) plan if such plan accounts separately for amounts so transferred, including accounting separately for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income.

 

(2)     An “Eligible Retirement Plan” is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code Section 403(a), that accepts the Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution. Effective January 1, 2002, the term "Eligible Retirement Plan" also includes (a) an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Code Section 457(b), which is maintained by an eligible employer described in Code Section 457(e)(1)(A) and (b) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b).

 

Effective for distributions made on or after January 1, 2008, Eligible Retirement Plan also includes a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A(b). Effective for distributions made on or after January 1, 2010, in the case of a distribution to a Distributee who is a non-spouse Beneficiary who is a “designated beneficiary” under Code Section 401(a)(9)(E) and the regulations thereunder, Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a) or individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b).

 

(3)     A “Distributee” includes an employee or former employee. In addition, the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), are Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

 

Effective for distributions made on or after January 1, 2010, Distributee also includes a non-spouse Beneficiary who is a "designated beneficiary" under Code Section 401(a)(9)(E) and the regulations thereunder.

 

(4)     A “Direct Rollover” is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

 

(e)     Required Minimum Distributions for 2009. Notwithstanding the preceding subsections, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 but for the enactment of Code Section 401(a)(9)(H) (“2009 RMDs”), will receive such distributions for 2009. In addition, notwithstanding subsection (g), solely for purposes of applying the direct rollover provisions of the Plan to 2009 RMDs, a direct rollover will be offered only for distributions that would be eligible rollover distributions without regard to Code Section 401(a)(9)(H).

 

 
57

 

 

7.07.

Distribution of Benefits upon Death

 

(a)     Distribution of Death Benefits for Participants other than Register Participants

 

(1)     The death benefit payable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary within a reasonable time after the Participant’s death, not to exceed the limits set forth under Code Section 401(a)(9) by one of the following methods, as elected by the Participant (or if no election has been made prior to the Participant’s death, by his Beneficiary) subject, however, to the rules specified in Section 7.06(c):

 

(A)     One lump-sum payment in cash or in property; or,

 

(B)     Payment in monthly or annual cash installments over a period to be determined by the Participant or his Beneficiary not exceeding 180 months. After periodic installments commence, the Beneficiary shall have the right to direct the Trustee to reduce the period over which such periodic installments shall be made, and the Trustee shall adjust the cash amount of such periodic installments accordingly.

 

(2)     The Beneficiary of the death benefit payable under this Subsection shall be the Participant’s spouse. Except, however, the Participant may designate a Beneficiary other than his spouse if:

 

(A)     the spouse has waived the right to be the Participant’s Beneficiary, or

 

(B)     the Participant is legally separated or has been abandoned (within the meaning of local law) and the Participant has a court order to such effect (and there is no “qualified domestic relations order” as defined in Code Section 414(p) that provides otherwise), or

 

(C)     the Participant has no spouse, or

 

(D)     the spouse cannot be located.

 

In such event, the designation of a Beneficiary shall be made on a form satisfactory to the Administrator. A Participant may at any time revoke his designation of a Beneficiary or change his Beneficiary by submitting notice of such revocation or change with the Administrator. However, the Participant’s spouse must again consent in writing to any change in Beneficiary, unless the spouse’s original consent acknowledged that the spouse had the right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary and that the spouse voluntarily elected to relinquish such right. In the event no valid designation of Beneficiary exists at the time of the Participant’s death, and the Participant has no spouse, the death benefit shall be payable to his estate.

 

 
58

 

 

Any consent by the Participant’s spouse to waive any rights to the death benefit must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of such waiver, and be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Further, the spouse’s consent must be irrevocable and must acknowledge the specific non-spouse Beneficiary.

 

(3)     In the event the death benefit payable pursuant to this Subsection is payable in installments, then, upon the death of the Participant, the Administrator may, at the Participant’s election, (but shall not be required to), direct the Trustee to segregate the death benefit into a separate Account; and, the Trustee shall invest such segregated Account separately. The funds accumulated in any such Account shall be used for the payment of the installments.

 

(b)     Distribution of Death Benefit for Register Participants Until December 31, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing distribution provisions, for Death Benefit distributions on or before December 31, 2000, the distribution of the Accounts of a Register Participant who dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date shall be subject to the distribution rules set forth below. On and after January 1, 2001, Death Benefit distributions to Register Participants shall be subject to Section 7.07(a) above.

 

(1)     If a Register Participant is married at the time of his death prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Beneficiary of the death benefit payable pursuant to this Section shall be the Participant’s surviving spouse and the death benefit shall be the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity, unless the Participant has waived the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity during the applicable election period by designating an alternate Beneficiary or by selecting an optional form of benefit provided for under Section 7.07(b)(6), and the spouse has consented to the alternate Beneficiary or optional form of benefit. The Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity shall be an annuity payable over the life of the surviving spouse. The applicable election period, for purposes of this Section, begins on the first day of the Plan Year that the Participant reaches age 35 and ends on the Participant’s death. If a Register Participant is unmarried at the time of his death prior to the Annuity Starting Date, the death benefit shall be paid to his designated Beneficiary, in an optional form available under Section 7.07(b)(6) (other than a survivor annuity), as elected by the Participant, or in an form with a such shorter payment period as subsequently elected by the designated Beneficiary.

 

(2)     A Participant’s waiver of the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity is effective only if:

 

(A)     the spouse has consented to the Participant’s alternate Beneficiary designation or alternate form of payment during the applicable election period; and,

 

 
59

 

 

(B)     any consent by the Participant’s spouse to waive any rights to the death benefit is in writing, acknowledges the effect of such waiver, and is witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Further, the spouse’s consent must be irrevocable and must acknowledge the specific non-spouse Beneficiary.

 

(3)     If, at the date of the Participant’s death, the Participant is:

 

(A)     legally separated or has been abandoned (within the meaning of local law) and the Participant has a court order to such effect (and there is no “qualified domestic relations order” as defined in Code Section 414(p) that provides otherwise);

 

(B)     the Participant has no spouse; or

 

(C)     the spouse cannot be located,

 

then the Participant’s death benefit will be paid to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary in a form designated by the Participant or the Beneficiary.

 

(4)     The designation of a Beneficiary shall be made on a form satisfactory to the Administrator. A Participant may at any time revoke his designation of a Beneficiary or change his Beneficiary by submitting notice of such revocation or change with the Administrator within the applicable election period. However, the Participant’s spouse must again consent in writing to any change in Beneficiary, unless the spouse’s original consent acknowledged that the spouse had the right to limit consent only to a specific Beneficiary and that the spouse voluntarily elected to relinquish such right. In the event no valid designation of Beneficiary exists at the time of the Participant’s death, and the Participant has no spouse, the death benefit shall be payable to his estate.

 

(c)     Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, distributions upon the death of a Participant shall be made in accordance with the following requirements and shall otherwise comply with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Regulations issued thereunder.

 

If it is determined pursuant to Regulations that the distribution of a Participant’s interest has begun and the Participant dies before his entire interest has been distributed to him, the remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution selected pursuant to Section 7.05 as of his date of death.

 

If a Participant dies before he has begun to receive any distributions of his interest under the Plan or before distributions are deemed to have begun pursuant to Regulations, then his death benefit shall be distributed to his Beneficiaries by December 31st of the calendar year in which the fifth anniversary of his date of death occurs.

 

However, the five-year distribution requirement of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to any portion of the deceased Participant’s interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a designated Beneficiary. In such event, such portion may, at the prior election of the Participant (or, at the election of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary), be distributed over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such designated Beneficiary, provided such distribution begins not later than December 31st of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

 

 
60

 

 

However, in the event the Participant’s spouse (determined as of the date of the Participant’s death) is his Beneficiary, the requirement that distributions commence within one year of a Participant’s death shall not apply. In lieu thereof, distributions must commence on or before the later of: (i) December 31st of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died; or (ii) December 31st of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½. If the surviving spouse dies before distributions to such spouse begin, then the five-year distribution requirement of this Section above shall apply as if the spouse was the Participant.

 

(d)     For purposes of Subsection (c), the election by a designated Beneficiary to be excepted from the five-year distribution requirement must be made no later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s death. Except, however, with respect to a designated Beneficiary who is the Participant’s surviving spouse, the election must be made by the earlier of: (i) December 31st of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died or, if later, the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½; or (ii) December 31st of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the date of the Participant’s death. An election by a designated Beneficiary must be in writing and shall be irrevocable as of the last day of the election period stated herein. In the absence of an election by the Participant or a designated Beneficiary, the five-year distribution requirement shall apply.

 

(e)     For purposes of this Section, the life expectancy of a Participant and a Participant’s spouse shall not be recalculated. Life expectancy and joint and last survivor expectancy shall be computed using the return multiples in Tables V and VI of Regulation Section 1.72-9.

 

(f)     Subject to the spouse’s right of consent afforded under the Plan, the restrictions imposed by this Section shall not apply if a Participant has, prior to January 1, 1984, made a written designation to have his death benefits paid in an alternative method acceptable under Code Section 401(a) as an effect prior to the enactment of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982.

 

7.08.

Time of Segregation or Distribution

 

Except as limited by Sections 7.05 and 7.06, whenever the Trustee is to make a distribution or to commence a series of payments on or as of a Valuation Date, the distribution or series of payments may be made or begun on such date or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in no event later than 180 days after the Valuation Date. However, unless a Former Participant elects in writing to defer the receipt of benefits (such election may not result in a death benefit that is more than incidental), the payment of benefits shall begin not later than the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs: (a) the date on which the Participant attains the earlier of age 65 or the Normal Retirement Age specified herein; (b) the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or (c) the date the Participant terminates his service with the Employer.

 

 
61

 

 

7.09.

Distribution for Minor Beneficiary

 

In the event a distribution is to be made to a minor, then the Administrator may direct that such distribution be paid to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of such Beneficiary or a responsible adult with whom the Beneficiary maintains his residence, or to the custodian for such Beneficiary under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, if such is permitted by the laws of the state in which said Beneficiary resides. Such a payment to the legal guardian, custodian or parent of a minor Beneficiary shall fully discharge the Trustee, Employer, and Plan from further liability on account thereof.

 

7.10.

Location of Participant or Beneficiary Unknown

 

In the event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a Participant or his Beneficiary hereunder shall, at the expiration of five years after it shall become payable, remain unpaid solely by reason of the inability of the Administrator, after sending a registered or certified letter, return receipt requested, to the last known address, and after further diligent effort to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or his Beneficiary, the amount so distributable shall be treated as a Forfeiture pursuant to the Plan. In the event a Participant or Beneficiary is located subsequent to his benefit being reallocated, such benefit shall be restored.

 

7.11.

Pre-Retirement Distribution

 

At such time as a Participant shall have attained the age of 59½ years, the Administrator, at the election of the Participant, but subject to, for Register Participants, the benefit election and consent rules set forth in Section 7.05, shall direct the Trustee to distribute all or any portion of the vested balance then credited to the Account maintained on behalf of the Participant. In the event that the Administrator makes such a distribution, the Participant shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan on the same basis as any other Employee. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 7.05, including, but not limited to, all notice and consent requirements of Code Section 411(a)(11) and the Regulations thereunder.

 

Notwithstanding the above, pre-retirement distributions from a Participant’s Account shall not be permitted prior to the Participant attaining age 59½, except as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Plan.

 

If a Participant elects to take a distribution of less than the entire amount credited to his Account pursuant to this Section, then such distribution shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of the components of such Account in the following order:

 

(a)     first, from the Voluntary Contributions Account;

 

 
62

 

 

(b)     then, from the Rollover Contributions Account;

 

(c)     then, from the Special Register Contributions Account;

 

(d)     then, from the Profit Sharing Account;

 

(e)     then, from the Matching Contributions Account;

 

(f)     then, from Safe Harbor Matching Contributions Account;

 

(g)     then, from the Elective Deferral Contributions Account; and

 

(h)     finally, from the Roth Account.

 

7.12.

Discretionary Withdrawals

 

Subject to the limitations set forth herein, a Participant may make withdrawals from the vested portion of his Account of amounts attributable to Rollover Contributions, Voluntary Contributions, Special Register Contributions (subject to Section 7.05) and Matching Contributions (excluding amounts attributable to Safe Harbor Matching Contributions) at any time by completing an application to make such a withdrawal in the form and at such time as may be specified by the Administrator. In no event, however, may the amount of all of a Participant’s Discretionary Withdrawals, determined on a cumulative basis, exceed the sum of:

 

(a)     the value of the Participant’s Account attributable to Voluntary Contributions;

 

(b)     the value of the Participant’s Account attributable to Rollover Contributions;

 

(c)     the value of the Participant’s Account attributable to Special Register Contributions;

 

(d)     the value of pre-2001 Matching Contributions (i.e., excluding Safe Harbor Matching Contributions) that have been included in the Participant’s Account for more than 24 months; and

 

(e)     the value of post-2010 Matching Contributions that have been included in the Participant’s Account for more than 24 months.

 

If a Participant elects to take a distribution pursuant to this Section 7.12, then such distribution shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of the components of such Account in the following order:

 

(i)     first, from the Voluntary Contributions Account;

 

(ii)     then, from the Rollover Contributions Account;

 

(iii)     then, from the Special Register Contributions Account;

 

 
63

 

 

(iv)     then, from the pre-2001 Matching Contributions Account; and

 

(v)     finally, from the post-2010 Matching Contributions Account.

 

7.13.

Hardship Distribution

 

(a)     A Participant may request a hardship distribution if he can demonstrate an immediate and heavy financial need, in accordance with the Administrator’s application and certification procedures, and for Register Participants, the Participant’s spouse consents in accordance with Section 7.05. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, hardship distributions of Safe-Harbor Matching Contributions shall not be available. Upon the demonstration, and the Participant’s certification of a qualifying immediate and heavy financial need, the Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute to any Participant in any one Plan Year up to the lesser of:

 

(1)     the full vested value of the Participant’s Account, excluding earnings on Elective Deferrals arising after 1988, valued as of the last Valuation Date, and Safe Harbor Matching Contributions and earnings thereon; or

 

(2)     the amount necessary to satisfy such certified immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant.

 

Any distribution made pursuant to this Section shall be made as of the Valuation Date of Account liquidation for purposes of the distribution; and, the Participant’s Account shall be reduced accordingly as of such date. Withdrawals under this Section shall be authorized solely if the Participant certifies in writing that the distribution is on account of:

 

(3)     Effective January 1, 2006, medical expenses described in Code Section 213(d) incurred by the Participant, his spouse, or any of his dependents (as defined in Code Section 152) or necessary for those persons to obtain medical care;

 

(4)     The purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;

 

(5)     Payment of tuition and related educational expenses for the next twelve months of post-secondary education for the Participant, his spouse, children, or dependents;

 

(6)     The need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or the foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal residence;

 

(7)     Effective January 1, 2006, payments necessary for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152 and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); or

 

(8)     Effective January 1, 2006, expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify as the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10 percent of adjusted gross income).

 

 
64

 

 

(b)     No distribution shall be made pursuant to this Section unless the Administrator, based upon the Participant’s certification to the Administrator, determines that the hardship distribution is needed to resolve an immediate and heavy financial need arising from a permissible hardship as identified in subsection (a) above, and stating that the Participant has attempted to satisfy such immediate and heavy financial need and such need has not been and cannot be relieved:

 

(1)     Through reimbursement or compensation of any loss or casualty by insurance or otherwise;

 

(2)     By reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets (including reasonably available assets of the Participant’s spouse and minor children) to the extent that such liquidation would not cause the occurrence of another immediate and heavy financial need;

 

(3)     By ceasing all elective contributions and employee contributions under the Plan;

 

(4)     By taking all other available distributions, or making application for and taking receipt of any nontaxable loans available, from plans maintained by the Employer, or another employer; and

 

(5)     By application to and borrowing from commercial resources upon reasonable commercial terms.

 

(c)     Any distribution made pursuant to this Section shall be made in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of Section 7.05.

 

(d)     If a distribution is made pursuant to this Section, the Participant cannot contribute to the Plan for six months, beginning with the date of distribution. The initial date for subsequent commencement of contributions shall be the first day of the calendar quarter following the expiration of the six-month suspension.

 

(e)     Effective January 1, 2010, a Participant may request a hardship distribution if he can demonstrate an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant's primary Beneficiary under the Plan, that would constitute a hardship event if it occurred with respect to the Participant's spouse or dependent as defined under Code Section 152 (except that hardship withdrawals shall be authorized solely if the Participant certifies in writing that the distribution is on account of educational expenses, funeral expenses and certain medical expenses). For purposes of this subsection, a Participant's “primary Beneficiary under the Plan” is an individual who is named as a Beneficiary under the Plan other than a Participant's spouse or dependent as defined under Code Section 152, and has an unconditional right to all or a portion of the Participant's Account balance under the Plan upon the Participant's death

 

 
65

 

 

7.14.

Payments Pursuant to Qualified Domestic Relations Orders

 

All rights and benefits, including elections, provided to a Participant in this Plan shall be subject to the rights afforded to any “alternate payee” under a “qualified domestic relations order.” A distribution to an “alternate payee” shall be permitted if such distribution is authorized by a “qualified domestic relations order”, even if the affected Participant has not reached the “earliest retirement age” under the Plan. For the purposes of this Section, “alternate payee,” “qualified domestic relations order” and “earliest retirement age” shall have the meaning set forth under Code Section 414(p). The Administrator shall establish a written procedure for reviewing and shall have total and exclusive discretion to determine whether a domestic relations order qualifies as a “qualified domestic relations order” under Code Section 414(p). Effective September 10, 2010, the Participant and/or Alternate Payee will be charged a fee for determining whether an order is a “qualified domestic relations order.” Fee information will be outlined in the Plan’s procedures governing “qualified domestic relations order” determinations.

 

Effective April 6, 2007, a judgment, decree, order, or approval of a property settlement agreement, that otherwise satisfies the requirements for a qualified domestic relations order will not fail to be a qualified domestic relations order: (i) solely because the judgment, decree, order or approval of property settlement agreement is issued after, or revises, another judgment, decree, order, or approval of a property settlement agreement; or (ii) solely because of the time at which the order, judgment, decree, or approval of a property settlement agreement is issued, including issuance after the Annuity Starting Date, or after the Participant's death.

 

7.15.

Loans to Participants

 

(a)     The Administrator, in accordance with guidelines established specifically for such purpose, may make loans to Participants (and separated Participants who are “parties-in-interest” under ERISA Section 3(14) (collectively referred to herein as “Applicant”)) limited to no more than two loans in the aggregate and no more than one loan (of $1,000 or more) each 12 calendar months, under the following provisions: (i) loans shall be made available to all Applicants on a reasonably equivalent basis; (ii) loans shall not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees, officers, or shareholders in an amount greater than the amount made available to other employees; (iii) loans shall bear a reasonable rate of interest; (iv) loans shall be adequately secured; (v) loans shall provide for repayment over a reasonable period of time; and (vi) loans shall be subject to such reasonable charges that the Administrator may assess.

 

(b)     A loan may not be repaid within the six month period following the date that the loan is made, unless such repayment occurs in connection with the termination of the Applicant’s employment.

 

(c)     Loans made pursuant to this Section (when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans made by the Plan to the Applicant) shall be limited to the lesser of:

 

(1)     $50,000, reduced by the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan to the Applicant during the one year period ending on the day before the date on which such new loan is made; or

 

 
66

 

 

(2)     one-half of the non-forfeitable Account balance of the Applicant under the Plan.

 

(d)     Loans shall provide for level amortization with payments to be made not less frequently than quarterly over a period not to exceed five years from the date of the distribution of the loan. However, loans used to acquire any dwelling unit which, within a reasonable time, is to be used (determined at the time the loan is made) as a principal residence of the Applicant, shall provide for periodic repayment over a reasonable period of time not to exceed 10 years.

 

(e)     In accounting for loan distributions and repayments, loans shall be treated as investments of the individual Account of the Applicant:

 

(1)     loan distributions shall be deemed to be drawn:

 

(i)     first, from the Participant’s Elective Contributions Accounts;

 

(ii)     then, from the Participant’s Safe Harbor Matching Contributions Account;

 

(iii)     then, from the Participant’s Matching Contributions Account, if any;

 

(iv)     then, from the Participant’s Voluntary Contributions Account, if any;

 

(v)     then, from the Participant’s Rollover Contributions Account, if any; and

 

(vi)     finally, from the Participant’s Roth Account, if any.

 

(2)     repayments shall be deemed to replenish:

 

(i)     first, the Participant’s Rollover Contributions Account, if any;

 

(ii)     then, the Participant’s Voluntary Contributions Account, if any;

 

(iii)     then, the Participant’s Matching Contributions Accounts, if any;

 

(iv)     then, the Participant’s Safe Harbor Matching Contributions Accounts, if any;

 

(v)     finally, the Participant’s Elective Contributions Accounts.

 

(f)     Participant loan repayments shall be suspended under this Plan as permitted under USERRA, in accordance with Code Section 414(u)(4).

 

(g)     Loans shall not be permitted from a Participant’s Profit Sharing Account.

7.16.

Qualified Reservist Distributions

 

For distributions made after January 1, 2010, a Participant may elect a Qualified Reservist Distribution. For purposes of this Plan section, a "Qualified Reservist Distribution" is any distribution to a Participant who is ordered or called to active duty after September 11, 2001, if (i) the distribution is from amounts attributable to Elective Contributions; (ii) the Participant was (by reason of being a Participant of a reserve component, as defined in section 101 of title 37, United States Code) ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite period; and (iii) the Plan makes the distribution during the period beginning on the date of such order or call, and ending at the close of the active duty period.

 

7.17.

Roth Account Withdrawals

 

A Participant who has attained age 59½ may elect to withdraw all or part of his Roth Account prior to or instead of withdrawing his Elective Contributions. Any distribution from a Participant’s Roth Account must be a “qualified distribution” within the meaning of Code Section 402A(d)(2) and cannot be distributed until the Roth Contributions have been in the Participant’s Account for five years.

ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, AND MERGERS

 

8.01.

Amendment

 

(a)     The Board of Directors of the Company, or its authorized delegate, shall have the right, at any time, to amend or restate the Plan by the adoption of a formal resolution (or resolutions) evidencing such action, which resolution shall be certified in writing by the Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Administrator. However, any amendment or restatement which affects the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Trustee and Administrator may only be made with the Trustee’s and Administrator’s written consent. Any such amendment or restatement shall become effective, as provided therein, upon its execution. The Trustee shall not be required to execute any such amendment or restatement, unless any Trust provisions contained herein are a part of the Plan and the amendment or restatement affects the duties of the Trustee hereunder.

 

(b)     No amendment to the Plan shall be effective if it authorizes or permits any part of the Trust Fund (other than such part as is required to pay taxes and administration expenses) to be used for or diverted to any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants, or their Beneficiaries or estates; or otherwise causes any reduction in the amount credited to the Account of any Participant; or causes or permits any portion of the Trust Fund to revert to or become property of the Employer.

 

(c)     Except as permitted by Regulations (including Regulation Section 1.411(d)-4)), no Plan amendment or transaction having the effect of a Plan amendment (such as a merger, plan transfer or similar transaction) shall be effective if it eliminates or reduces any “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefit” or adds or modifies conditions relating to “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits” the result of which is a further restriction on such benefit, unless such protected benefits are preserved with respect to benefits accrued as of the later of the adoption date or effective date of the amendment. “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits” are benefits described in Code Section 411(d)(6)(A), early retirement benefits and retirement-type subsidies, and certain optional forms of benefit under current Regulations.

 

(d)     Notwithstanding any provision of Article V or other Plan provision to the contrary, the Company (or any Employer hereunder) shall not amend the provisions of Article V herein controlling the provision and allocation of Matching Contributions or Safe Harbor Matching Contributions made or invested in the Common Stock of the Company more than once every six months, other than as necessary to comport with changes in Code or ERISA requirements.

 

(e)     Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, the Company, with or without consultation with the Administrator, shall retain the power to amend, and may amend the Plan provisions, as necessary to comply with current provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the then current regulations and interpretations thereunder.

 

 
69

 

 

8.02.

Termination

 

(a)     The Board of Directors of the Company, or its authorized delegate, shall have the right at any time to terminate the Plan by the adoption of a formal resolution evidencing such action, which resolution shall be certified in writing by the Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Administrator and the Trustee. Upon any Plan termination adopted by the Board of the Company, all amounts credited to the affected Participants’ Account, if not already vested, shall become 100 percent vested as provided in Section 7.04; and, thereafter shall not be subject to forfeiture. Further, all unallocated amounts shall be allocated to the Account of all Participants, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(b)     Upon the termination of the Plan by the Board of the Company, the Company shall direct the distribution of the assets of the Trust Fund to Participants in a manner which is consistent with and satisfies the provisions of Section 7.05. Distributions to a Participant shall be made in cash or in property (or through the purchase of irrevocable nontransferable deferred commitments from an insurer). Except as permitted by Regulations, the termination of the Plan shall not result in the reduction of “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits” as described in Section 8.01.

 

8.03.

Merger or Consolidation

 

This Plan and Trust may be merged or consolidated with, or its assets and/or liabilities may be transferred to any other plan and trust only if the benefits which would be received by a Participant of this Plan, in the event of a termination of the Plan immediately after such transfer, merger or consolidation, are at least equal to the benefits the Participant would have received if the Plan had terminated immediately before the transfer, merger or consolidation; and, such transfer, merger or consolidation does not otherwise result in the elimination or reduction of any “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits” as described in Section 8.01.

 

 
70

 

 

ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.01.

Participants’ Rights

 

This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any Participant or to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of any Participant or Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant or Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the effect which such discharge shall have upon him as a Participant of this Plan.

 

9.02.

Alienation

 

(a)     Subject to the exceptions provided below, no benefit which shall be payable out of the Trust Fund to any person (including a Participant or his Beneficiary) shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void; and no such benefit shall in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any such person, nor shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against such person, and the same shall not be recognized by the Trustee, except to such extent as may be required by law.

 

(b)     This provision shall not apply to the extent a Participant or Beneficiary is indebted to the Plan, for any reason, under any provision of the Plan. At the time a distribution is to be made to or for a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefit, such proportion of the amount distributed as shall equal such indebtedness shall be paid by the Trustee to the Trustee or the Administrator, at the direction of the Administrator, to apply against or discharge such indebtedness. Prior to making a payment, however, the Participant or Beneficiary must be given written notice by the Administrator that such indebtedness is to be so paid in whole or part from his Account. If the Participant or Beneficiary does not agree that the indebtedness is a valid claim against his Account, he shall be entitled to a review of the validity of the claim in accordance with procedures provided in Sections 2.10 and 2.11.

 

(c)     The anti-alienation provisions of this Section shall not apply to a “qualified domestic relations order” defined in Code Section 414(p), and those other domestic relations orders permitted to be so treated by the Administrator under the provisions of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984 and applicable regulations. The Administrator shall establish a written procedure to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders. Further, to the extent specifically provided under a “qualified domestic relations order”, a former spouse of a Participant shall be treated as the spouse or surviving spouse for all purposes under the Plan.

 

(d)     The anti-alienation provisions of this Section 9.02 shall not apply with respect to a valid lien or levy of the United States Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with Code Section 6331 and the regulations thereunder.

 

 
71

 

 

(e)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, benefits provided under this Plan may be assigned or alienated as permitted under Code Section 401(a)(13) pursuant to:

 

(1)     a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan;

 

(2)     a civil judgment entered by a court in an action brought in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of ERISA’s fiduciary responsibility provisions; or

 

(3)     a settlement agreement between the IRS and the Participant, or a settlement agreement between the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and the Participant, in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of ERISA’s fiduciary responsibility provisions by a fiduciary or any other person.

 

The judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement must expressly provide for the offset of all or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s Plan benefits; and where the survivor annuity requirements apply to Plan distributions to the Participant (under Code Section 401(a)(11)), the rights of the Participant’s spouse to survivor benefits are preserved as follows:

 

(1)     either: (i) the spouse must consent in writing to the offset, and the consent must be witnessed by a notary public or Plan representative (or, if it is established that there is no spouse, the spouse cannot be located, etc.) or (ii) an election to waive the spouse’s right to a qualified joint and survivor annuity (QJSA) or a qualified preretirement survivor annuity (QPSA) is in effect;

 

(2)     the spouse must have been ordered or required in the judgment, order, decree, or settlement to pay an amount to the Plan in connection with the violation of fiduciary duties; or

 

(3)     in the judgment, order, decree, or settlement, the spouse must retain the right to receive a survivor annuity under a QJSA or a QPSA determined as if:

 

(i)     the Participant terminated employment on the date of the offset;

 

(ii)     there was no offset;

 

(iii)     the Plan permitted commencement of benefits only on or after normal retirement age;

 

(iv)     the Plan provided only the “minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity”; and

 

(v)     the amount of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity under the Plan is equal to the amount of the survivor annuity payable under the “minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity”.

 

The “minimum required qualified joint and survivor annuity” is the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity (I) which is the actuarial equivalent of the Participant’s accrued benefit and (II) under which the survivor annuity is 50 percent of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the spouse.

(b)     In the event the Employer shall make an excessive contribution under a mistake of fact pursuant to ERISA Section 403(c)(2)(A), the Employer may demand repayment of such excessive contribution at any time within one year following the time of payment and the Trustees shall return such amount to the Employer within the one year period. Earnings of the Plan attributable to the excessive contributions may not be returned to the Employer but any losses attributable thereto must reduce the amount so returned.

 

9.07.

Bonding

 

Every Fiduciaryshall be bonded to the extent required by ERISA, and in such amount as required by ERISA. The bond shall provide protection to the Plan against any loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty by the Fiduciary alone or in connivance with others. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the cost of such bonds shall be an expense of and may, at the election of the Administrator, be paid from the Trust Fund or by the Employer.

9.10.

Receipt and Release for Payments

 

Any payment to any Participant, his legal representative, Beneficiary, or to any guardian or committee appointed for such Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Trustee and the Employer, either of whom may require such Participant, legal representative, Beneficiary, guardian or committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt in such form as shall be determined by the Trustee or Employer.

 

9.11.

Named Fiduciaries and Allocation of Responsibility

 

The “named Fiduciaries” of this Plan are (i) the Employer, (iii) the Administrator and (iii) the Trustee. The named Fiduciaries shall have only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations as are specifically given them under the Plan. In general, the Employer shall have the sole responsibility for making the contributions provided for under Section 5.01; and shall have the sole authority to appoint and remove the Trustee and the Administrator; to formulate the Plan’s “funding policy and method”; and to amend or terminate, in whole or in part, the Plan. The Administrator shall have the sole responsibility for the administration of the Plan, which responsibility is specifically described in the Plan. The Trustee shall have the sole responsibility of management of the assets held under the Trust, except those assets, the management of which has been assigned to an Investment Manager, who shall be solely responsible for the management of the assets assigned to it, all as specifically provided in the Plan (and except as investment responsibilities are otherwise allocated under the Plan’s Trust Agreement). Each named Fiduciary warrants that any directions given, information furnished, or action taken by it shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, authorizing or providing for such direction, information or action. Furthermore, each named Fiduciary may rely upon any such direction, information or action of another named Fiduciary as being proper under the Plan, and is not required under the Plan to inquire into the propriety of any such direction, information or action. It is intended under the Plan that each named Fiduciary shall be responsible for the proper exercise of its own powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Plan. No named Fiduciary shall guarantee the Trust Fund in any manner against investment loss or depreciation in asset value. Any person or group may serve in more than one Fiduciary capacity.

Headings

 

The headings and subheadings of this Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof.

 

9.14.

Disallowance of Contributions

 

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, except Sections 3.06, 3.07 and 3.08, any contribution by the Employer to the Trust Fund is conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution by the Employer under the Code and, to the extent any such deduction is disallowed, the Employer may, within one year following the disallowance of the deduction, demand repayment of such disallowed contribution and the Trustee shall return such contribution within one year following the disallowance. Earnings of the Plan attributable to the disallowed contribution may not be returned to the Employer, but any losses attributable thereto must reduce the amount so returned.

 

9.15.

Uniformity

 

All provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.

 

9.16.

Administration Necessary to Comply with Section 16

 

The Administrator and its Committee shall have the operational discretion and authority, to impose such additional restrictions and limitations on Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as the Administrator or its Committee shall deem necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of Rule 16(b)-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 
75

 

 

9.17.

Severability

 

If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan; and, the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

 

9.18     Errors and Omissions

 

Individuals and entities charged with the administration of the Plan must see that it is administered in accordance with the terms of the Plan as long as the Plan does not conflict with the Code or ERISA. If an innocent error or omission is discovered in the Plan’s operation or administration, and the Plan Administrator determines that it would cost more to correct the error than is warranted, and if the Plan Administrator determines that the error did not result in discrimination in operation or cause a qualification or excise-tax problem, then, to the extent that an adjustment will not, in the judgment of the Plan Administrator, result in discrimination in operation, the Plan Administrator may authorize any equitable adjustment it deems necessary or desirable to correct the error or omission, including but not limited to the authorization of additional Contributions designed, in a manner consistent with the goodwill intended to be engendered by the Plan, to put Members in the same relative position they would have enjoyed if there had been no error or omission. Any contribution made pursuant to this section is an additional Contribution.

PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS

 

10.01.

Adoption by Other Employers

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with the consent of the Company and Trustee, any other corporation or entity, whether or not an affiliate or subsidiary of the Company, may adopt this Plan and all of the provisions hereof; and, participate herein and be known as a Participating Employer, by a properly executed document evidencing said intent and will of such Participating Employer.

 

10.02.

Requirements of Participating Employers

 

(a)     Each such Participating Employer shall be required to use the same Trustee as provided in this Plan.

 

(b)     The Trustee may, but shall not be required to, commingle, hold and invest as one Trust Fund all contributions made by Participating Employers, as well as all increments thereof.

 

(c)     The transfer of any Participant from or to an Employer participating in this Plan, whether he be an Employee of the Employer or a Participating Employer, shall not affect such Participant’s rights under the Plan, and all amounts credited to such Participant’s Elective Contribution Account as well as his accumulated service time with the transferor or predecessor, and his length of participation in the Plan, shall continue to his credit.

 

(d)     All rights and values forfeited by termination of employment shall inure only to the benefit of the Employee-Participants of the Participating Employer by which the forfeiting Participant was employed, except if the Forfeiture is for an Employee whose Employer is a member of an affiliated or controlled group, then said Forfeiture shall be allocated, based on Compensation to all Participant Accounts of Participating Employers who are members of the affiliated or controlled group. Should an Employee of one (“First”) Employer be transferred to an associated (“Second”) Employer (the Employer, an affiliate or subsidiary), such transfer shall not cause his Account balance (generated while an Employee of “First” Employer) in any manner, or by any amount to be forfeited. Such Employee’s Participant Account balance for all purposes of the Plan, including length of service, shall be considered as though he had always been employed by the “Second” Employer and as such had received contributions, forfeitures, earnings or losses, and appreciation or depreciation in value of assets totaling amount so transferred.

 

(e)     Any expenses of the Trust which are to be paid by the Employer or borne by the Trust Fund shall be paid by each Participating Employer in the same proportion that the total amount standing to the credit of all Participants employed by such Employer bears to the total standing to the credit of all Participants.

 

 
77

 

 

10.03.

Designation of Agent

 

Each Participating Employer shall be deemed to be a part of this Plan; provided, however, that with respect to all of its relations with the Trustee and Administrator for the purpose of this Plan, each Participating Employer shall be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Company as its agent. Unless the context of the Plan clearly indicates the contrary, the word “Employer” shall be deemed to include each Participating Employer as related to its adoption of the Plan.

 

10.04.

Employee Transfers

 

It is anticipated that an Employee may be transferred between Participating Employers, and in the event of any such transfer, the Employee involved shall carry with him his accumulated service and eligibility. No such transfer shall effect a termination of employment hereunder, and the Participating Employer to which the Employee is transferred shall thereupon become obligated hereunder with respect to such Employee in the same manner as was the Participating Employer from whom the Employee was transferred.

 

10.05.

Participating Employer’s Contribution

 

Any contribution or Forfeiture subject to allocation during each Plan Year shall be allocated among all Participants of all Participating Employers in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. On the basis of the information furnished by the Administrator, the Trustee shall keep separate books and records concerning the affairs of each Participating Employer hereunder and as to the Account and credits of the Employees of each Participating Employer. The Trustee may, but need not, register Contracts so as to evidence that a particular Participating Employer is the interested Employer hereunder, but in the event of an Employee transfer from one Participating Employer to another, the employing Employer shall immediately notify the Trustee thereof.

 

10.06.

Amendment

 

Amendment of this Plan by the Company at any time when there shall be a Participating Employer hereunder shall only be by the written action of the Company, with the consent of the Trustee where such consent is necessary in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

 

10.07.

Discontinuance of Participation

 

Any Participating Employer shall be permitted to discontinue or revoke its participation in the Plan. At the time of any such discontinuance or revocation, satisfactory evidence thereof and of any applicable conditions imposed shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall thereafter transfer, deliver and assign Contracts and other Trust Fund assets allocable to the Participants of such Participating Employer to such new Trustee as shall have been designated by such Participating Employer, in the event that it has established a separate pension plan for its Employees. If no successor is designated, the Trustee shall retain such assets for the Employees of said Participating Employer pursuant to the provisions of Article VII hereof. In no such event shall any part of the corpus or income of the Trust as it relates to such Participating Employer be used for or diverted for purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Employees of such Participating Employer.

ARTICLE XI
TOP HEAVY RULES

 

11.01.

Top Heavy Plan Requirements

 

For any Top Heavy Plan Year, the Plan shall provide the special vesting requirements of Code Section 416(b) pursuant to Section 7.04 and the special minimum allocation requirements of Code Section 416(c) set forth in Section 5.06(d).

 

11.02.

Determination of Top Heavy Status

 

(a)     This Plan shall be a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan Year commencing after December 31, 1983 in which, as of the Determination Date, (i) the Present Value of Accrued Benefits of Key Employees and (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees under this Plan and all plans of an Aggregation Group, exceeds 60 percent of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits and the Aggregate Accounts of all Key and Non-Key Employees under this Plan and all plans of an Aggregation Group. Notwithstanding the above, on and after January 1, 2002, if no key employee or former key employee benefits under the Plan for the Plan Year, the Plan shall not be subject to the Code’s top-heavy provisions.

 

If any Participant is a Non-Key Employee for any Plan Year, but such Participant was a Key Employee for any prior Plan Year, such Participant’s Present Value of Accrued Benefit and/or Aggregate Account balance shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether this Plan is a Top Heavy (or whether any Aggregation Group which includes this Plan is a Top Heavy Group). In addition, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1984, if a Participant or Former Participant has not performed any services for any Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the five year period ending on the Determination Date, any accrued benefit for such Participant or Former Participant shall not be taken into account for the purposes of determining whether this Plan is a Top Heavy or Super Top Heavy Plan. Effective for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2002, if a Participant or Former Participant has not performed any services for any Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the one year period ending on the Determination Date, any accrued benefit for such Participant or Former Participant shall not be taken into account for the purposes of determining whether this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan.

 

(b)     Aggregate Account as of the Determination Date is the sum of the amounts listed below.

 

(1)     Participant’s Account balance as of the most recent Valuation Date occurring within a 12-month period ending on the Determination Date.

 

(2)     An adjustment for any contributions due as of the Determination Date. Such adjustment shall be the amount of any contributions actually made after the Valuation Date but due on or before the Determination Date, except for the first Plan Year when such adjustment shall also reflect the amount of any contributions made after the Determination Date that are allocated as of a date in that first Plan Year.

 

 
80

 

 

(3)     Any Plan distributions made within the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date, or within the four preceding Plan Years if made for reasons other than death, disability or separation from service. Effective for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2002, only Plan distributions made within the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date (however, any in-service distributions shall remain subject to the four-year look back rule in the preceding sentence if made for reasons other than death, disability or severance from employment). However, in the case of distributions made after the Valuation Date and prior to the Determination Date, such distributions are not included as distributions for top heavy purposes, to the extent that such distributions are already included in the Participant’s Aggregate Account balance as of the Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all distributions, including distributions made prior to January 1, 1984, and distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included in an Aggregation Group, will be counted. Further, distributions from the Plan (including the cash value of life insurance policies) of a Participant’s Account balance because of death shall be treated as a distribution for the purposes of this paragraph.

 

(4)     Any Employee contributions, whether voluntary or mandatory. However, amounts attributable to tax deductible qualified voluntary employee contributions, if any, shall not be considered to be a part of the Participant’s Aggregate Account balance.

 

(5)     With respect to any unrelated rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones that are both initiated by the Employee and made from a plan maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another employer), the Plan shall always consider such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers as a distribution for the purposes of this Section. If this Plan is the plan accepting such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, it shall not consider such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers as part of the Participant’s Aggregate Account balance. However, rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers accepted prior to January 1, 1984 shall be considered as part of the Participant’s Aggregate Account balance.

 

(6)     With respect to related rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones either not initiated by the Employee or made to a plan maintained by the same employer), they shall not be counted as a distribution for purposes of this Section. If this Plan is the plan accepting such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall consider such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer as part of the Participant’s Aggregate Account balance, irrespective of the date on which such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer is accepted.

 

(7)     For the purposes of determining whether two employers are to be treated as the same employer in (5) and (6) above, all employers aggregated under Code Section 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) are treated as the same employer.

 

(c)     “Aggregation Group” means either a Required Aggregation Group or a Permissive Aggregation Group, as hereinafter determined.

 

(1)     Required Aggregation Group: In determining a Required Aggregation Group hereunder, each plan of the Employer in which a Key Employee is a participant in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years, and each other plan of the Employer which enables any plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410, will be required to be aggregated. Such group shall be known as a Required Aggregation Group.

 

 
81

 

 

(2)     In the case of a Required Aggregation Group, each plan in the group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the Required Aggregation Group is a Top Heavy Group. No plan in the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the Required Aggregation Group is not a Top Heavy Group.

 

(3)     Permissive Aggregation Group: The Employer may also include any other plan not required to be included in the Required Aggregation Group, provided the resulting group, taken as a whole, would continue to satisfy the provisions of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410. Such group shall be known as a Permissive Aggregation Group.

 

In the case of a Permissive Aggregation Group, only a plan that is part of the Required Aggregation Group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the Permissive Aggregation Group is a Top Heavy Group. No plan in the Permissive Aggregation Group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the Permissive Aggregation Group is not a Top Heavy Group.

 

(4)     Only those plans of the Employer in which the Determination Dates fall within the same calendar year shall be aggregated in order to determine whether such plans are Top Heavy Plans.

 

(5)     An Aggregation Group shall include any terminated plan of the Employer if it was maintained within the last five years ending on the Determination Date.

 

(d)     “Determination Date” means the last day of the preceding Plan Year.

 

(e)     Present Value of Accrued Benefit: In the case of a defined benefit plan, the Present Value of Accrued Benefit for a Participant other than a Key Employee, shall be as determined using the single accrual method used for all plans of the Employer and Affiliated Employers, or if no such single method exists, using a method which results in benefits accruing not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under Code Section 411(b)(1)(C). The determination of the Present Value of Accrued Benefit shall be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date except as provided in Code Section 416 and the Regulations thereunder for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan.

 

(f)     “Top Heavy Group” means an Aggregation Group in which, as of the Determination Date, the sum of:

 

(1)     the Present Value of Accrued Benefits of Key Employees under all defined benefit plans included in the group, and

 

 
82

 

 

(2)     the Aggregate Accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans included in the group, exceeds 60 percent of a similar sum determined for all Participants.

APPENDIX A
NONDISCRIMATION TESTING

 

1.01

Limitations on Elective Contributions

 

(a)     Actual Deferral Percentage Test. Effective for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2009, the Plan shall meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(k) by satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage (or ADP) test as set forth below:

 

(1)     The ADP for a Plan Year for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the current Plan Year’s ADP for Participants who were non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

 

(2)     The ADP for a Plan Year for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the current Plan Year’s ADP for Participants who were non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 2.0; provided, however, that the ADP for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the current Plan Year’s ADP for Participants who were non-Highly Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year by more than two percentage points.

 

(b)     Participation in Multiple Plans. The ADP for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to have Elective Contributions allocated to his Account under two or more arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) that are maintained by the Employer, shall be determined as if such Elective Contributions are made under a single arrangement. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in a two or more arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) that are maintained by the Employer and that have different Plan Years, all such arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement.

 

(c)     Aggregation of Plans. In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(k), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, of if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Appendix A section 1.01 shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentage of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(k) only if they have the same Plan Year and use the same ADP testing method.

 

(d)     Timing of Contributions. For purposes of satisfying the ADP test, Elective Contributions must be contributed and allocated to the Trust Fund no later than the last day of the 12-month period immediately following the Plan Year for which such contributions are deemed made.

 

(e)     Additional Requirements. The determination and treatment of Elective Contributions and the Actual Deferral Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary from time to time.

 

 
87

 

 

(f)     Incorporation by Reference. Notwithstanding any provision of this Appendix A to the contrary, the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k) and the regulations thereunder, as incorporated herein by reference.

 

(g)     Roth Contributions. Roth Contributions made to the Plan on or after July 1, 2011, shall be treated as Elective Contributions for purposes of the nondiscrimination test described in this Appendix A.

 

1.02

Limitations on Matching Contributions

 

(a)     Contribution Percentage Test. Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the Plan shall meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(m) by satisfying the Contribution Percentage (or ACP) test as set forth below:

 

(1)     The ACP for a Plan Year for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the current Plan Year’s ACP for Participants who were non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

 

(2)     The ACP for a Plan Year for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the current Plan Year’s ACP for Participants who were non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by two, provided, however, that the ACP for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the current Plan Year’s ACP for Participants who were non-Highly Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year by more than two percentage points.

 

(b)     Participation in Multiple Plans. The ACP for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee and who is eligible to have Matching Contributions allocated to his Account under two or more plans described in Code Section 401(a), or arrangements described in Code Section 401(k), that are maintained by the Employer, shall be determined as if the total of such Matching Contributions was made under a single plan. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) that are maintained by the Employer and that have different Plan Years, all such arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement.

 

(c)     Aggregation of Plans. In the event that the Plan satisfies requirements of Code Section 401(m), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Code Section 410(b) only if aggregated with the Plan, then this Appendix A section 1.02 shall be applied by determining the ACP of Participants as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Code Section 401(m) only if they have the same Plan Year and use the same ACP testing method.

 

(d)     Timing of Contributions. For purposes of satisfying the Contribution Percentage test, Matching Contributions must be contributed and allocated to the Trust Fund no later than the last day of the 12 month period immediately following the Plan Year for which such contributions are deemed to be made.

 

 
88

 

 

(e)     Additional Requirements. The determination and treatment of the Contribution Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. For any Plan Year in which the Plan fails to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(11), but meets the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12), this Section 1.02 shall be applied in accordance with the rules set forth in section VIII.F of IRS Notice 98-52, 1998-2 CB 634.

 

(f)     Incorporation by Reference. Notwithstanding any provision of this Appendix A to the contrary, the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m) and the regulations thereunder, as incorporated herein by reference.

 

1.03.     Excess Contributions

 

(a)     Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss applicable thereto (including income attributable to the period after the end of the Plan Year and before the date of distribution), shall be distributed no later than two and a half months after the last day of each Plan Year to Highly Compensated Employees to whose Account such Excess Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the Plan Administrator shall not distribute allocable income for the gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions occurred and prior to the distribution).

 

(b)     Taxation of Distributions. The Excess Contributions shall be treated as received and earned by the Highly Compensated Employee in the taxable year for which the Excess Contribution is made. If the Excess Contribution is less than $100, the distribution shall be treated as earned and received by the Highly Compensated Employee in the taxable year in which the distribution is made.

 

(c)     Method of Distribution. Distributions of Excess Contributions shall be made from the Elective Deferral Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees pursuant to the following steps:

 

(1)     The Elective Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of such contributions shall be reduced by the amount required to cause that Highly Compensated Employee’s Elective Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Elective Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of such contributions. This amount is then distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount.

 

(2)     The process in step (1) shall be repeated until the total Excess Contributions have been distributed. If a lesser reduction, when added to the total dollar amount already distributed under this step, would equal the total Excess Contributions, the lesser reduction amount is distributed.

 

 
89

 

 

(d)     Income or Loss. Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for any income or loss up to the last day of the Plan Year in which they occur and through the date that the Excess Contributions are distributed. The income or loss allocable to Excess Contributions must be determined based on any reasonable method selected by the Employer.

 

(e)     Nondiscrimination Requirements Satisfied. If these distributions are made, the Plan is treated as meeting the nondiscrimination test of Code Section 401(k)(3) regardless of whether the Actual Deferral Percentage test, if recalculated after distribution, would satisfy Code Section 401(k)(3). The Employer shall retain adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code Section 401(k)(3).

 

(f)     Forfeiture of Matching Contributions. Matching Contributions which related to Elective Contributions distributed as Excess Contributions shall be forfeited as of the last Valuation Date of the Plan Year to which the Excess Contributions relate.

 

1.04.

Excess Matching Contributions

 

(a)     Timing of Corrections. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, Excess Matching Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto (including income attributable to the period after the end of the Plan Year and before the date of distribution), shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or if not forfeitable, distributed no later than two and a half months after the last day of each Plan Year to Highly Compensated Employees to whose accounts Employee Contributions or Matching Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the Plan Administrator shall not distribute allocable income for the gap period (i.e., the period after the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Matching Contributions occurred and prior to the distribution).

 

(b)     Taxation of Distributions. The Excess Matching Contributions shall be treated as received and earned by the Highly Compensated Employee in the taxable year for which the Excess Matching Contribution is made. If the Excess Matching Contribution is less than $100, the distribution shall be treated as earned and received by the Highly Compensated Employee in the taxable year in which the distribution is made.

 

(c)     Method of Distribution. Excess Matching Contributions shall be distributed or forfeited, if forfeitable, pursuant to the following steps:

 

(1)     The Employee and/or Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of such contributions shall be reduced by the amount required to cause that Highly Compensated Employee’s Employee and/or Matching Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Employee and/or Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of such contributions. This amount is then distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount.

 

(2)     The process in step (1) shall be repeated until the total Excess Matching Contributions have been distributed. If a lesser reduction, when added to the total dollar amount already distributed under this step, would equal the total Excess Matching Contributions, the lesser reduction amount is distributed.

 

 
90

 

 

(d)     Income or Loss. Excess Matching Contributions shall be adjusted for income or loss up to the last day of the Plan Year in which they occur and through the date that the Excess Matching Contributions are distributed. The income or loss allocable to Excess Matching Contributions must be determined based on any reasonable method selected by the Employer.

 

(e)     Forfeitures. Matching Contributions which are not fully vested when they are due to be distributed as Excess Matching Contributions shall be forfeited as of the last Valuation Date of the Plan Year to which the Excess Matching Contributions relate in accordance with Section 7.04(b). Amounts forfeited by Highly Compensated Employees under this Appendix A section 1.04 shall be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan.

 

(f)     Order of Distribution or Forfeiture. The distribution or forfeiture of Excess Matching Contributions shall be made from a Participant’s Accounts in the following order: Matching Contributions distributed or forfeited pursuant to Appendix A section 1.03(f); and Matching Contributions other than those described in subparagraph (1) above.

 

(g)     Nondiscrimination Requirements Satisfied. If these distributions or forfeitures are made, the Plan is treated as meeting the nondiscrimination test of Code Section 401(m)(2) regardless of whether the Contribution Percentage test, if recalculated after distributions or forfeitures, would satisfy Code Section 401(m)(2). The Employer shall retain adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements under Code Section 401(m)(2), including the extent to which Elective Contributions are taken into account for purposes of Appendix A section 1.02.

 

1.05.     Definitions

 

(a)     Actual Deferral Percentage or ADP

 

Actual Deferral Percentage or ADP means, for purposes of measuring compliance with Code Section 401(k) for a specified group of Employees for each Plan Year, the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in the group) of

 

(1)     the amount of Employer contributions made on behalf of the Employee for the Plan Year, to

 

(2)     the Employee’s compensation under Code section 414(s) (but not in excess of the applicable Code section 401(a)(17) limit) for the Plan Year.

 

For purposes of this definition, Employer contributions shall include Elective Contributions, including Excess Deferred Compensation of Highly Compensated Employees but not including Elective Contributions taken into account under Appendix A section 1.02 (provided the test is satisfied both with and without the exclusion of these Elective Contributions). The Actual Deferral Percentage of an Employee who is eligible to but does not make an Elective Deferral is zero.

 

 
91

 

 

(b)     Contribution Percentage or ACP

 

Contribution Percentage or ACP means, for purposes of measuring compliance with Code Section 401(m) for a specified group of Employees for each Plan Year, the average of the ratios (expressed as a percentage) of

 

(1)     the Matching Contributions allocated to the Account of each such Employee for the Plan Year to

 

(2)     the Employee’s compensation under Code section 414(s) (but not in excess of the applicable Code section 401(a)(17) limit) for the Plan Year.

 

Forfeitures of Excess Matching Contributions or Matching Contributions that are allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be taken into account in determining a Participant’s Contribution Percentage in the year in which such Forfeiture is allocated. In addition, any Elective Contributions, to the extent not taken into account in Appendix A section 1.01, may be included in a Participant’s Contribution Percentage (provided that the test under Appendix A section 1.01 is satisfied both before and after such Elective Contributions are excluded). A Participant’s Contribution Percentage shall not include Matching Contributions that are forfeited either to correct Excess Matching Contributions or because the contributions to which they relate are Excess Deferred Compensation or Excess Contributions.

 

(c)     Excess Matching Contributions

 

Excess Matching Contributions means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of the amount of Matching Contributions (and any Elective Contributions taken into account in computing the Contribution Percentage) actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under the limitations described in Appendix A section 1.02. Excess Matching Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan. To determine the total Excess Matching Contributions under the Plan for a Plan Year,

 

(1)     calculate the reduction in contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Contribution Percentages, beginning with the highest of such percentages in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(m)-1(e)(2); then

 

(2)     total the dollar amounts calculated in paragraph (1).

 

Such determination shall be made after first determining Excess Deferred Compensation and then determining Excess Contributions.

 

 
92

 

 

(d)     Excess Contributions

 

Excess Contributions means, with respect to any Plan Year, the amount of Elective Contributions actually paid into the Trust Fund on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under Appendix A section 1.01. Excess Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions under the Plan. To determine the total Excess Contributions under the Plan for a Plan Year,

 

(1)     calculate the reduction in contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of their Actual Deferral Percentages, beginning with the highest of such percentages, in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(f)(2); then

 

(2)     total the dollar amounts calculated in paragraph (1).

 

Such determination shall be made after first determining Excess Deferred Compensation.
