[Note: Regardless of its elections under this Election 29, the Employer under Section 3.04(C)(2) may elect for any Plan Year where the Plan is using Current Year Testing to make Operational QNECs which the Plan Administrator will allocate only to NHCEs for purposes of correction of an ADP or ACP test failure.]


(a)	[X]	Not applicable. There are no Plan -Designated QNECs.

(b)	[ ]	Applies. There are Plan-Designated QNECs to which the following provisions apply (Complete (1), (2), and (3)):

(1)

30. SAFE HARBOR 401(k) PLAN (SAFE HARBOR CONTRIBUTIONS/ADDITIONAL MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS) (3.05). The Employer under Election 6(e) will (or in the case of the Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution may) contribute the following Safe Harbor Contributions described in Section 3.05(E) and will or may contribute Additional Matching Contributions described in Section 3.05(F) (Choose one of (a), (b), (c), or (d) when and as applicable. Complete (e) and (h). Choose (f), (g), and (i) as applicable) :


(a)	[X]	Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution. The Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution equals 3% of a Participant’s Compensation [Note: The amount in the blank must be at least 3%. The Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution applies toward (offsets) most other Employer Nonelective Contributions. See Section 3.05(E)(11).]

(b)	[ ]	Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution/delayed year-by-year election (maybe and supplemental notices). In connection with the Employer’s provision of the maybe notice under Section 3.05(I)(1), the Employer elects into safe harbor status by giving the supplemental notice and by making this Election 30(b) to provide for a Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution equal to _____ % (specify amount at least equal to 3%) of a Participant’s Compensation. This Election 30(b) and safe harbor status applies for the Plan Year ending: ______________________ (specify Plan Year end), which is the Plan Year to which the Employer’s maybe and supplemental notices apply.

[Note: If the Employer makes a delayed election into safe harbor status under Section 3.05(I)(1), the Employer must amend the Plan to provide for a Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution equal to at least 3% of each Participant’s Compensation. The Employer may make this amendment by substitute Adoption Agreement page (electing Election 30(b)) or by another form of amendment under Section 11.02(B). An Employer using the maybe notice should not elect a Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution under Election 30(a) unless the Employer intends to continue safe harbor status under this election in the subsequent Plan Year. By making its amendment into safe harbor status under Election 30(b), the Employer avoids the need to further amend the Plan if the Employer is not certain that it will apply the safe harbor in the subsequent Plan Year. By contrast, an Employer which gave the maybe notice and has decided to make the Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution for that year and for future years should use Election 30(a). The Employer only elects 30(a) and should not elect 30(b) if prior to the Plan Year the Employer unequivocally decides to elect safe harbor status for the Plan Year and provides a safe harbor notice consistent with this election rather than giving the maybe notice. If the Employer gives the maybe notice and the Employer will or may make Matching Contributions, the Employer should elect Additional Matching under Election 30(h)(and should not elect Matching Contributions under Election 24) if it wishes to avoid ACP testing.]

(f)	[ ]	Early Elective Deferrals/delay of Safe Harbor Contribution. The Employer may elect this Election 30(f) only if the Employer in Election 14 elects eligibility requirements for Elective Deferrals of less than age 21 and one Year of Service but elects age 21 and one Year of Service for Safe Harbor Matching or for Safe Harbor Nonelective Contributions.

Those Participants in the Plan Year whom the Plan Administrator treats as Otherwise Excludable Employees will not receive any Safe Harbor Contribution allocation and the Plan Administrator will apply the ADP (and, as applicable the ACP) test(s) to the disaggregated plan benefiting the Otherwise Excludable Employees. If the Employer in Election 10(a)(2) has elected “Participating Compensation” for allocating Elective Deferrals, Nonelective Contributions or Matching Contributions (as relevant to the allocation under this Election 30 based on the Contribution Type), the Plan Administrator, in allocating the Safe Harbor Contribution for the Plan Year in which the Participant crosses over to the Includible Employees group, will count Compensation and Elective Deferrals only on and following the Cross-Over Date.

		(Choose one of a., b., or c.):

	a.	[X]	No testing.	[X]	[ ]	Effective Date(s):

			ACP test safe harbor applies.

The Employer under Section 3.05(I)(1) may treat the Plan as a Traditional 401(k) Plan or may make a delayed election to treat the Plan as a Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan. If the Employer gives the maybe and supplemental notices and amends the Plan to provide for the Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution, the Plan is an ADP test safe harbor plan for the Plan Year to which the maybe and supplemental notices and the amendment apply. If the Employer does not give the supplemental notice, the Plan is a Traditional 401(k) Plan, subject to ADP Current Year Testing and, if applicable, to ACP Current Year Testing. If the Employer gives the supplemental notice and amends the Plan to provide for the Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution, and the Employer has elected Additional Matching Contributions under Election 30(h) (Choose one of (i) or (ii)):

(i)	[ ]	No testing. ADP and ACP test safe harbors apply. The Employer’s elections under 30(h) as to Additional Matching Contributions satisfy the ACP safe harbor requirements and the Employer elects to apply the Election 30(h) stated ACP test safe harbor conditions (see the Note following Election 30(h)) as to all Additional Matching Contributions.

(ii)	[ ]	ACP test only. ADP safe harbor applies, but the Plan will perform the ACP test as to all Additional Matching Contributions using Current Year Testing.

		[Note: Even if the Employer does not elect 37(a)(2)c., the Employer still may make a delayed election into safe harbor status under Section 3.05(I)(1) using the maybe and supplemental notices and by amending the plan to provide for the Safe Harbor Nonelective Contribution. However, in this case, the Employer also must amend the Plan to make its testing elections under this Election 37 consiste nt with its delayed election into safe harbor status. The Employer then may elect any election under 37(a)(2), including 37(a)(2)c. An Employer’s election of 37(a)(2)c. permits the Plan to remain in perpetual possible delayed safe harbor election status, w hile minimizing the number of Plan amendments required to do so.]
