Employer does not request or collect information regarding the Participants alternative
health coverage as part of the enrollment process for the group health plan;
(C) Compensation Paid after Employment Terminates. The following amounts provided they are
paid by the later of 2 1/2 months after the Participants employment terminates or the end of the
Limitation Year that includes the date of termination:
(1) Regular Compensation. Regular compensation for services performed during the
Participants regular working hours, or compensation for services performed outside the
Participants regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses
or other similar payments, provided they would have been made had the Participant continued in
employment with the Employer;

(F) Constructive Receipt. Amounts includable in the gross income of the
Employee under Code Sections 409A or 457(f)(1)(A) or because the amounts are constructively
received by the Employee;
(G) Contributions/Distributions. Contributions to a plan of deferred compensation
(including a simplified employee pension plan described in 408(k) or a simple retirement account
described in 408(p)) that are not includable in the Employees gross income for the taxable year in
which contributed and any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation (whether or not
qualified); and
(H) Other Amounts. Other amounts that received special tax benefits such as
premiums for group-term life insurance (but only to the extent the premiums are not includable in

(iii) Limitation. Section 415 Compensation shall not exceed the Annual Compensation
Limit. Annual Compensation Limit means $230,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 401(a)(17)(B)).
(iv) Estimation. Until Section 415 Compensation is actually determinable, the
Employer may use a reasonable estimate of Section 415 Compensation. As soon as administratively
feasible, actual Section 415 Compensation shall be determined.
2. Section 4.5 is amended to read as follows:
4.5 Excess Additions. The following rules shall apply to Excess Additions.
(a) Before Contribution. If the Annual Additions limitation will be exceeded
for a Participant, the Employer Contribution for the Plan Year may be reduced before payment to the
Trustee to the maximum amount permitted under Section 4.4.
(b) After Contribution. If the Annual Additions limitation under Section 4.4
is exceeded for a Plan Year, the Employer will follow the requirements of the Employee Plans
Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS) or any successor procedures issued by the Internal Revenue
Service to correct the excess Annual Addition.
3. The following sentence is added to the end of Section 5.1(a)(iv):
Notwithstanding anything in this section or the plan to the contrary, for purposes of
determining Elective Contributions, the contributions corresponding to a Participants payroll
deductions may only apply against amounts that are, or could be, considered compensation under Code
Section 415(c)(3) and Regulations Section 1.415(c)-2.
