ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS ADDENDUM

 

for

 

Plan Name: Enzo Biochem, Inc. Salary Reduction Profit Sharing Plan

 

(a) Additional Provision(s)The following provisions supplement and/or, to the degree described herein, supersede other provisions of this Adoption Agreement in the following manner:
   
  (1) The following replaces Subsection 1.04(b):
     
    (b) Eligibility Service Requirement(s) - There shall be no eligibility service requirements for contributions to the Plan, except as indicated below.
       
      (1) For Deferral Contributions, Employee Contributions, and Qualified Nonelective Employer Contributions, Employees must have:
         
        1 (not to exceed 12) months of Eligibility Service requirement (no minimum Hours of Service can be required).
         
      (2) For Nonelective Employer Contributions, Employees must have:
         
        one year of Eligibility Service requirement (at least 1,000 (not to exceed 1,000) Hours of Service are required during the Eligibility Computation Period).
         
      (3) For Matching Employer Contributions, Employees must have:
         
        one year of Eligibility Service requirement (at least 1,000 (not to exceed 1,000) Hours of Service are required during the Eligibility Computation Period).
         
      Note: If the Employer selects an Eligibility Service requirement of more than 365 days or 12 months or the two year Eligibility Service requirement, then contributions subject to such Eligibility Service requirement must be 100% vested when made.
       
    Note: If different eligibility requirements are selected for Deferral Contributions in Subsection 1.04(a) or 1.04(b) than for Employer Contributions and a more stringent eligibility requirement is elected in Subsection 1.04(a) or (b) either (1) with respect to Matching Employer Contributions and Option 1.11(a)(3), 401(k) Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contributions, is selected or (2) with respect to Nonelective Employer Contributions and Option 1.12(a)(3), 401(k) Safe Harbor Formula, is selected, then the Plan may be disaggregated for testing purposes as described in Section 6.09 of the Basic Plan Document. If a more stringent eligibility requirement is elected in Subsection 1.04(a) or (b) for Nonelective Employer Contributions than for Matching Employer Contributions and Option 1.12(a)(3), 401(k) Safe Harbor Formula, is selected for Nonelective Employer Contributions, then Matching Employer Contributions may be similarly disaggregated.
     
    Note:  If different eligibility requirements are selected for Deferral Contributions in Subsection 1.04(a) or 1.04(b) than for Employer Contributions and the Plan becomes a “top-heavy plan,” the Employer may need to make a minimum Employer Contribution on behalf of non-key Employees who have satisfied the eligibility requirements for Deferral Contributions and are employed on the last day of the Plan Year, but have not satisfied the eligibility requirements for Employer Contributions.
     
  (2) The following replaces Subsection 1.05(a):
     
    (a) Compensation Exclusions - Compensation shall exclude the item(s) selected below for the indicated types of contributions. (Complete the table below by checking the appropriate boxes to indicate exclusions for the contributions listed.)
