The remaining Forfeitures, if any, shall be added to the Employer's contribution made pursuant to Section 4.1 and allocated among the Participants' Accounts in the same manner as the Employer's contribution for the current year. Provided, however, that in the event the allocation of Forfeitures provided herein shall cause the "annual addition" (as defined in Section 4.4) to any Participant's Account to exceed the amount allowable by the Code, the excess shall be reallocated in accordance with Section 4.5. Item Two Item (d) of Section 4.3 of Article IV is hereby amended to read as follows: (d) Participants shall be eligible to share in the allocation of contributions and Forfeitures for a Plan Year in accordance with the following: (1) Only Participants who have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year and are actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year shall be eligible to share in the allocation of contributions and Forfeitures for that Plan Year. • • (2) With respect to Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1989, in lieu of the foregoing, only Participants who are actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year shall be eligible to share in the allocation of contributions and Forfeitures for that Plan Year. (3) Participants who are not actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year due to Retirement (Early, Normal or Late), Total and Permanent Disability or death shall share in the allocation of contributions and Forfeitures for that Plan Year only if otherwise eligible in accordance with this Section. (4) For any Top Heavy Plan Year, Non -Key Employees not otherwise eligible to share in the allocation of contributions and Forfeitures as provided above, shall receive the minimum allocation provided for in Section 4.3(g) if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3(h). Item Three Item (e) of Section 4.3 of Article IV is hereby amended to read as follows: (e) As of each Anniversary Date or other valuation date, before allocation of Employer contributions and Forfeitures, any earnings or losses (net appreciation or net depreciation) of the Trust Fund shall be allocated in the same proportion that each Participant's and Former Participant's nonsegregated accounts bear to the total of all Participants' and Former Participants' nonsegregated accounts as of such date. Participants' transfers from other qualified plans deposited In the general Trust Fund after a valuation date shall not share in any earnings and losses (net appreciation or net depreciation) of the Trust Fund for such period. Each segregated account maintained on behalf of a Participant shall be credited or charged with its separate earnings and losses. Item Four Item (g) of Section 4.3 of Article IV is hereby amended to read as follows: (g) Minimum Allocations Required for Top Heavy Pian Years: Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Top Heavy Plan Year, the sum of the Employer's contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Account of each Non -Key Employee shall be equal to at least three percent (3%) 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 and Forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Account of each Key Employee for such Top Heavy Plan Year is Tess than three percent (3%) 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 and. Forfeitures 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. Item Five Item (k) of Section 4.3 of Article IV is hereby amended to read as follows: (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1989, if this is a Plan that would otherwise fail to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(26), 410(b)(1) or 410(b)(2)(A)(i) and the Regulations thereunder because Employer contributions have not been allocated to a sufficient number or percentage of Participants for a Plan Year, then the following rules shall apply: (1) The group of Participants eligible to share in the Employer's contribution and Forfeitures for the Plan Year shall be expanded to include the minimum number of Participants who would not otherwise be eligible as are necessary to satisfy the applicable test specified above. The specific Participants who shall become eligible under the terms of this paragraph shall be those who are actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year and, when compared to similarly situated Participants, have completed the greatest number of Hours of Service in the Plan Year. (2) If after application of paragraph (1) above, the applicable test is still not satisfied, then the group of Participants eligible to share in the Employer's contribution and Forfeitures for the Plan Year shall be further expanded to include the minimum number of Participants who are not actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year as are necessary to satisfy the applicable test. The specific Participants who shall become eligible to share shall be those Participants, when compared to similarly situated Participants, who have completed the greatest number of Hours of Service in the Plan Year before terminating employment. (3) Nothing in this Section shall permit the reduction of a Participant's accrued benefit. Therefore, any amounts that have previously been allocated to Participants may not be reallocated to satisfy these requirements In such event, the Employer shall make an additional contribution equal to the amount such affected Participants would have received had they been included in the • • allocations, even if it exceeds the amount which would be deductible under Code Section 404. Any adjustment to the allocations pursuant to this paragraph shall be considered a retroactive amendment adopted by the last day of the Plan Year. Item Six Item (a) of Section 4.5 of Article IV is hereby amended to read as follows: (a) If, as a result of the allocation of Forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant's Compensation or other facts and circumstances to which Regulation 1.415-6(b)(6) shall be applicable, the "annual additions" under this Plan would cause the maximum "annual additions" to be exceeded for any Participant, the Administrator shall (1) return any voluntary Employee contributions credited for the "limitation year" to the extent that the return would reduce the "excess amount" in the Participant's accounts (2) hold any "excess amount" remaining after the return of any voluntary Employee contributions In a "Section 415 suspense account" (3) allocate and reallocate the "Section 415 suspense account' in the next "limitation year" (and succeeding "limitation years" if necessary) to all Participants in the Plan before any Employer or Employee contributions which would constitute "annual additions" are made to the Plan for such "limitation year" (4) reduce Employer contributions to the Plan for such "limitation year" by the amount of the "Section 415 suspense account" allocated and reallocated during such "limitation year".

Randall, Executive Director October 14, 1992 Brame Wilson Fayetteville Housing Authority 1 North School Fayetteville, AR 72701 Dear Brcno, Your annual contribution to the Single Parent Scholarship Fund of Washington County is respectfully requested. Last year Fayetteville Housing Authority gave $500.00 and we would be most appreciative of a similar contribution this year. As is our policy, all donated funds will be awarded to applicants for spring semester, 1993 scholarships. An outstanding year for single -parent scholarships has been enjoyed in 1992. A record 124 awards were made worth over $50,000. Students in receipt of scholarships attend the University of Arkansas, Northwest Technical Institute, Northwest Arkansas Community College, and Baptist Hospital School of Nursing. Recently completed research on past recipients reveals an excellent retention, graduation, and employment rate of 81%, up over 16% from previous follow-up. This convinces us ever more strongly that incentive scholarships work! Our efforts to help disadvantaged single parents earn a college diploma are made possible by your support and by all in our county who believe in giving people a chance to succeed. I hope it will be possible for Fayetteville Housing Authority to contribute to the Single Parent Scholarship Fund this year. Thank you very much. truly, 4LOM n5tSd&/ Ralph H.
