ARTICLE 4 CONTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Before-Tax Contributions

Each Member may authorize his Employer, in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to contribute to the Trust on his behalf a Before-Tax Contribution with respect to each Plan Year which shall be allocated to his Before-Tax Contributions Account. A Member may elect to have his before-tax Covered Compensation reduced by a whole percentage from 1% to 16% and allocated to his Before-Tax Contributions Account. Such Before-Tax Contributions shall be remitted to the Plan by the Member’s Employer as soon as such contributions can reasonably be segregated from the Employer’s general assets after the date on which he could have received such amounts in cash.

4.2 After-Tax Contributions

A Member may elect to reduce his after-tax Covered Compensation, in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, by a stated whole percentage from 1% to 16% and allocate such amount to his After-Tax Contributions Account.

4.3 Total Amount of Contributions

Notwithstanding Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Plan, the combination of Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions for any Member shall not be less than 1% nor exceed 16% of the Member’s Covered Compensation for the Plan Year.

4.4 Catch-Up Contributions

Members who are eligible to make Before-Tax Contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code.

 

14

Article 4    Contributions


Such Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan in implementing the requirements of Sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-Up Contributions.

4.5 Maximum Amount of Before-Tax Contributions

The maximum amount of Covered Compensation that a Member is permitted to defer to the Plan and any qualified plan maintained by an Employer during any Plan Year shall not exceed the dollar limit under Section 402(g) of the Code in effect for such Plan Year, except to the extent permitted under Section 4.4 of the Plan and Section 414(v) of the Code. The dollar limit shall be adjusted by the Secretary of Treasury pursuant to Section 402(g)(5) of the Code.

 

  (a) If a Member’s Before-Tax Contributions reach the maximum limit described in preceding paragraph, the amount of his Covered Compensation that would have been allocated to his Before-Tax Contributions Account shall be allocated to his After-Tax Contributions Account.

 

  (b) To the extent a Member’s Before-Tax Contributions exceed the dollar limit under Section 402(g) of the Code (“Excess Before-Tax Contributions”) and are not reallocated to his After-Tax Contributions Account as described in Section 4.5(a) of the Plan, such Excess Before-Tax Contributions, plus any Income and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be distributed to the Member no later than April 15.

 

  (c) For the 2006 and 2007 Plan Years, Excess Before-Tax Contributions shall be adjusted for any Income or loss between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution (the “GAP Period”). The Income or loss allocable to excess deferrals during the GAP Period is the sum of:

 

  (i) The Income or loss allocable to the Member’s Before-Tax Contributions Account for the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Member’s Excess Before-Tax Contributions for the year and the denominator is the Member’s Account balance attributable to Before-Tax Contributions without regard to any Income or loss occurring during such taxable year; and

 

15

Article 4    Contributions


  (ii) 10 percent of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the end of the Member’s taxable year and the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.

Excess Before-Tax Contributions shall be treated as Annual Additions unless such amounts are distributed to the Member no later than April 15 of the year following the year in which such Excess Before-Tax Contributions are contributed.

4.6 Changes and Suspensions of Before-Tax and After-Tax Contributions

A Member, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Plan Administrator, may change the rate of, or suspend his, Before-Tax Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions) and After-Tax Contributions once each calendar quarter. If a Member’s Before-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions terminate, such Member thereafter may resume Before-Tax Contributions to the Plan as of the next Enrollment Date in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Plan Administrator provided that he is otherwise eligible to make contributions to the Plan.

4.7 Limitation on Before-Tax Contributions

 

  (a) Actual Deferral Percentage Test. An Employer shall not permit a Member to defer an amount of Covered Compensation that would cause the Plan to not satisfy at least one of the following tests in any Plan Year:

 

  (i) The Actual Deferral Percentage for a Plan Year for the group of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the current year’s Actual Deferral Percentage for all other eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

 

  (ii) The Actual Deferral Percentage for a Plan Year for the group of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the current year’s Actual Deferral Percentage for all other eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage of all other eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage points.

 

16

Article 4    Contributions


In applying the foregoing limitations, an Employee is a Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he meets the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. Similarly, an Employee is a Non-Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he does not meet the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. The Actual Deferral Percentage for a specified group of Employees for an applicable Plan Year shall be the average of ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in such group) of (1) the amount of Before-Tax Contributions actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of each such Employee for such Plan Year, to (2) the Employee’s Compensation for that portion of the applicable Plan Year during which the Employee was eligible to participate. In computing the Actual Deferral Percentage, Before-Tax Contributions shall not include any amounts properly returned to (3) the Member as excess Annual Additions under Article Eleven of the Plan; or (4) a Non-Highly Compensated Employee as Excess Before-Tax Contributions under Section 4.5 of the Plan. The Actual Deferral Percentage for a Member who makes no Before-Tax Contributions during a Plan Year shall be 0%. Contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage test must be made before the last day of the twelve-month period immediately following the Plan Year to which the contributions relate.

The Actual Deferral Percentage for any Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who has Before-Tax Contributions allocated to his account under two or more plans of an Employer, shall be determined as if all such contributions were made under a single plan. If the above plans have different plan years, all cash or deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement.

In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(k), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 4.7 of the Plan shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentages of Members as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if they have the same plan year and use the same Actual Deferral Percentage testing method.

An Employer shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Actual Deferral Percentage test. The determination and treatment of the Actual Deferral Percentage amounts of any Member shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

 

  (b)

Excess Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, with respect to any Plan Year in which Before-Tax Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees exceed the applicable limit, the Plan Administrator shall reduce the amount of the Excess Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees (determined by reducing such contributions in order of actual deferral

 

17

Article 4    Contributions


percentages beginning with the highest), and shall distribute any Excess Contributions which exist after such reduction, as adjusted by the Income or loss allocable to such Excess Contributions, to the affected Highly Compensated Employees no later than March 15 of the year following the Plan Year in which any such Excess Contributions arose, but in no event shall such amounts be distributed later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such Excess Contributions were allocated. Excess Contributions are allocated to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amount of Before-Tax Contributions taken into account in calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage test for the year in which the excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of Before-Tax Contributions and continuing in descending order until all Excess Contributions have been allocated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “largest amount” is determined after distribution of any Excess Contributions.

For purposes of this Section 4.7 of the Plan, “Excess Contributions” shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the aggregate amount of Employer contributions actually taken into account in computing the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employees over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted by the Actual Deferral Percentage test. The Income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions shall be the amount determined by multiplying the Income or loss allocable to the Participant’s accounts containing the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the Participant’s account balance in his accounts containing the Excess Contributions as of the Valuation Date of the Plan Year in which the Excess Contribution is made without regard to any gain or loss allocable to such total amount for the Plan Year.

For the 2006 and 2007 Plan Years, Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for any Income or loss during the GAP Period as defined in Section 4.5 of the Plan. The Income or loss allocable to Excess Contributions during the GAP Period is the sum of: (i) the Income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Before-Tax Contribution Account for the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Participant’s Excess Contributions for the year and the denominator is the Participant’s account balance attributable to Before-Tax Contributions as of the beginning of the Plan Year and Before-Tax Contributions made during the Plan Year; and (ii) 10 percent of the amount determined under (i) multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution, counting the month of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of such month.

4.8 Rollover Contributions From Other Qualified Plans

The minimum amount of a hardship withdrawal shall be $500. For the withdrawal to constitute a hardship, the withdrawal (1) must be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Member, and (2) must be necessary to satisfy that need. The determination of whether a Member has an immediate and heavy financial need is to be made by the Plan Administrator on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances.

12.3 Claims Procedure

The Plan Administrator or its delegate shall provide adequate notice in writing to any Member or to any Beneficiary (“Claimant”) whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied within 90 days after the claim was received. The notice to the Claimant shall set forth:

 

  (a) The specific reason for the denial;

 

  (b) Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial was based;

 

  (c) A description of any additional material and information that is needed to perfect the claim; and

The Plan Administrator’s notice must further advise the Claimant that his failure to appeal the action to the Plan Administrator in writing within the sixty (60) day period shall render the Plan Administrator’s determination final, binding and conclusive; and

 

  (e) A statement that the Claimant has the right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

 

46

Article 12    Administration


Such notice shall be forwarded to the Claimant within 90 days of receipt of the claim; provided, however, that in special circumstances the Plan Administrator or its delegate may extend the response period for up to an additional 90 days, in which event it shall notify the Claimant in writing of the extension, and shall specify the reason(s) for the extension.

If the Claimant should file an appeal with the Plan Administrator, or its delegate, he, or his duly authorized representative, may submit, in writing, whatever issues and comments he or his duly authorized representative feels are pertinent. The Claimant, or his duly authorized representative, may review pertinent Plan documents. The Plan Administrator shall reexamine all facts to the appeal and make a final determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances. The Plan Administrator shall advise the Claimant of its decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Claimant’s written request for review, unless special circumstances (such as a hearing) would make the rendering of a decision within the sixty (60) day limit unfeasible, but in no event shall the Plan Administrator render a decision respecting a denial for a claim for benefits later than one hundred twenty (120) days after its receipt of a request for review.

The Claimant shall be given written notice of the decision resulting from such review, which shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies, of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits, and a statement that the Claimant has a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

After a Participant has exhausted his final appeal as set forth above, such Participant shall have a period of 36 months from the date the Plan Administrator denies his appeal of denied claim for benefits under this Section 12.3 of the Plan to bring an action or file a case in court.

56

Article 17    Nonalienation of Benefits Except for Qualified Domestic Telations Orders
