NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Directors of the Poudre Fire Authority that the 2001 Restated Plan is hereby amended, effective January 1, 2003, as follows: 1. ARTICLE VII., DISTRIBUTION FROM TRUST FUND, '6.3, Post-Death Distribution, shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by a new '6.3, Required Minimum Distribution Rules, to read as follows: 6.3 Required Minimum Distribution Rules a. General Rules. (1) Effective Date. The provisions of this Section 6.3 will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year. 2 (2) Precedence. The requirement of this Section 6.3 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the plan. (3) Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 6.3 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Code '401(a)(9). (4) TEFRA '242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.3, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with '242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the plan that relate to '242(b)(2) of TEFRA. b. Death of Participant Before Distribution Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows: (1) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2, if later. (2) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died. (3) If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death. (4) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 6.3(b), other than Section 6.3(b)(1), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. (5) For purposes of this Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(d), unless Section 6.3(b)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's required beginning date. If Section 6.3(b)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required 3 to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.3(b)(1). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant's required beginning date (or to the Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.3(b)(1)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence. c. Required Minimum Distributions During Participant's Lifetime. (1) Amount of Required Minimum Distribution for Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in '1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the distribution calendar year; or (ii) if the Participant's sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant's spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in '1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant's and spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and spouse's birthdays in the distribution calendar year. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 6.3(c) beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant's date of death. d. Required Minimum Distributions After Participant's Death. (1) Death On or After Date Distributions Begin. (i) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant's designated beneficiary, determined as follows: 4 (A) The Participant's remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. (B) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death using the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse's death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year. (C) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, the designated beneficiary's remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. (ii) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the Participant's remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. (2) Death Before Date Distribution Begin. (I) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant's designated beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 6.3(d)(1). (ii) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, distribution of the Participant's entire interest will be completed by 5 December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death. (iii) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.3(b)(1), this Section 6.3(d)(2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. e. Definitions. The following definitions apply to this Section 6.3. (1) Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary by the Participant, or by the Plan, who is a "designated beneficiary" under Code '401(a)(9) and '1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury Regulations.
