Section 402A,as amended by the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010("SBJA").This Amendment is •
intended as good faith compliance with the requirements of Code Section 402A and guidance issued
thereunder,and this Amendment shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such guidance.This
Amendment shall be effective as of the date selected below.
1.2 Eligible governmental 457 plan. The Employer is an eligible employer as defined in Code
§457(eX 1)(A).
1.3 Supersession of inconsistent provisions.This Amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to
the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Amendment.
ARTICLE H
ADOPTION AGREEMENT ELECTIONS •
2.1 Effective Date. Designated Roth Contributions are permitted under the Plan as of the date this
Amendment is executed below,which is no earlier than January 1,2011.
•
2.2 Unforeseeable emergency.If the Plan permits distributions of Elective Deferrals on account of an
unforeseeable emergency, Designated Roth Contributions may be withdrawn on account of an •
unforeseeable emergency subject to the same qualifications that apply to Pretax Elective Deferrals.
ARTICLE III
DESIGNATED ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS
3.1 Designated Roth Contributions are permitted.The Plan's definitions and terms shall be amended as
follows to allow for Designated Roth Contributions as of the Effective Date. Designated Roth
Contributions shall be treated in the same manner as Deferral Contributions for all Plan purposes
except as provided in Article II of this amendment. The Employer may, in operation, implement
deferral election procedures provided such procedures are communicated to Participants and permit
Participants to modify their elections at least once each Plan Year.
3.2 Deferral Contributions. The Plan's definition of Deferral Contributions at Section 1.08 is deleted and
replaced as follows: "Deferral Contributions"means Salary Reduction Contributions,Nonelective
Contributions,Matching Contributions and Designated Roth Contributions. The Employer or the
Administrative Services Provider(if applicable)in applying the Code § 457(b)limit will take into
account Deferral Contributions in the Taxable Year in which contributed. The Employer or
Administrative Services Provider(if applicable)in determining the amount of a Participant's Deferral
Contributions disregards the net income,gain and loss attributable to Deferral Contributions.
3.3 Salary Reduction Contributions. The Plan's definition of Salary Reduction Contributions at Section
•
1.27 is deleted and replaced as follows: "Salary Reduction Contributions " means a Participant's
Elective Deferrals which are not includible in the Participant's gross income at the time deferred and
have been irrevocably designated as Salary Reduction Contributions by the Participant in his or her

deferral election.A Participant's Salary Reduction Contributions will be separately accounted for,as
will net income, gain or loss, attributable to those Salary Reduction Contributions. All Deferral
Contributions prior to this amendment are Salary Reduction Contributions.
3.4 Designated Roth Contributions. "Designated Roth Contributions" means a Participant's Deferral
Contributions that are includible in the Participant's gross income at the time deferred and have been
irrevocably designated as Designated Roth Contributions by the Participant in his or her deferral
election.A Participant's Designated Roth Contributions will be separately accounted for,as will gains
and losses attributable to those Designated Roth Contributions. However, forfeitures may not be
allocated to such account.The Plan must also maintain a record of a Participant's investment in the
contract(i.e.,designated Roth contributions that have not been distributed)and the year in which the
Participant first made a Designated Roth Contribution.
3.5 Distribution Rule. Withdrawals (including, but not limited to, withdrawals on account of an
unforeseeable emergency)from Participant's accounts may be directed by the Participant from either
Salary Reduction Contributions,Designated Roth Contributions or pro rata from Salary Reduction
Contributions and Designated Roth Contributions.
3.6 Corrective distributions attributable to Designated Roth Contributions.For any Plan Year in which a
Participant may make both Designated Roth Contributions and Salary Reduction Contributions,the
corrective distribution from the Participant's accounts will be taken pro rata from a Participant's
Salary Reduction Contributions and Designated Roth Contributions.Furthermore,such procedure may
permit the Participant to elect which type of Deferral Contributions shall be distributed first.
3.7 Lag. If Participant loans are permitted under the Plan,the loan policy or program is amended to
provide the ability by a Participant to borrow from,or use as security,a Participant's Designated Roth
Contribution account. Additionally, the loan policy or program is modified to provide that, with
respect to the default of a loan which is attributable to Salary Reduction Contributions and Designated
Roth Contributions,such default will be attributed to the Participant's Salary Reduction Contribution
and Designated Roth Contribution accounts on a pro rata basis.
3.8 Rollovers.A direct rollover of a distribution from Designated Roth Contributions shall only be made
to a Plan which includes Designated Roth Contributions as described in Code Section 402A(ex1)or to
a Roth IRA as described in Code Section 408A,and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under
the rules of Code Section 402(c).
3.8.1 The Plan shall accept a rollover contribution of Designated Roth Contributions only if it is a
direct rollover from another Plan which permits Designated Roth Contributions as described in Code
Section 402A(ex 1)and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section
402(c). The Employer, operationally and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, may decide
whether to accept any such rollovers.
3.8.2 The Plan shall not provide for a direct rollover (including an automatic rollover) for
distributions from a Participant's Designated Roth Contribution account if the amount of the
distributions that are eligible rollover distributions are reasonably expected to total less than 5200
during a year.In addition,any distribution from a Participant's Designated Roth Contributions are not
taken into account in determining whether distributions from a Participant's other accounts are
reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. Furthermore, the Plan will treat a
Participant's Designated Roth Contribution account and the Participant's other accounts as held under
two separate plans for purposes of applying the automatic rollover rules.However,eligible rollover

distributions of a Participant's Designated Roth Contributions are taken into account in determining
whether the total amount of the Participant's account balances under the Plan exceed the Plan's limits
for purposes of mandatory distributions from the Plan.

Designated Roth Contributions in good faith with applicable regulations or other binding authority not

contrary provisions of this Amendment
