6. The plan will accept accumulated deductible employee contributions (as
defined in Section 72(o)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code) that were
distributed from a qualified retirement plan and rolled over pursuant to
Sections 402(a)(5), 402(x)(7), 403(a)(4), or 408(d)(3) of the Code. The
rolled over amount will be added to the deductible voluntary contributions
account but will not be taken into account in applying the limitations on
deductible voluntary contributions to this plan. The plan will not accept
rollovers of accumulated deductible employee contributions from a plan
under which the employee was covered as a self-employed individual as
described in Section 401(c)(1) of the Code.

contributions account by making a written application to the plan
administrator. However, if at the time the distribution is received the
participant has not attained age 59 1/2 and is not disabled, the
participant will be subject to a federal income tax penalty unless the
distribution is rolled over to a qualified plan or individual retirement
plan within 60 days of the date of distribution.
F. The Plan Administrator shall maintain separate accounts for employee
contributions and earnings thereon.
G. Administrative Matters:
1. Withdrawal of voluntary contributions, either deductible or nondeductible,
requires that the participant give the Plan Administrator 30 days prior
written notice.
2. Voluntary Contributions may be withdrawn, but any earnings or gains on such
contributions can not be withdrawn until termination, death, disability, or
retirement. -
3. Participants shall have the right to discontinue or change the amount of
their voluntary contributions only on any January 1, except that, following
any such discontinuance or change, a participant may not resume voluntary
contributions or make another change for three (3) years.
