3 About National Benefit Services Founded in 1978 Focus on use of qualified retirement plans for: Business owners who want to put more money in their pockets Employers who want to attract, retain, and motivate their employees Work with financial professionals who want to grow their retirement plan business and look like heroes to their clients 3

5 Focus of This Presentation How the Pension Protection Act of 2006 provides significant opportunities for financial professionals to grow their businesses and look like heroes to the clients National Benefit Services, Inc.,
6 But first, a Word from our Compliance Department This presentation is provided for general discussion purposes only and should not be considered tax or legal advice. Employers should always check with a qualified tax adviser to determine the application of the tax laws and rules to a specific situation. 6
7 Why the Pension Protection Act of 2006 is significant Largest single rewrite of retirement plan laws since ERISA in 1974 Result of years of negotiation, lobbying efforts, and political posturing Winners and losers 7
8 Years of Negotiation, Lobbying Efforts, and Political Posturing Enron 2002 Pension Reform 6 months in conference 2006: a particularly contentious election year 8
9 Before we get started: a brief review of the tax advantages of qualified retirement plans Contributions by the employer on a tax deductible basis Contributions by the employee on a tax deductible basis Participant can borrow against his account Funds accumulate on a tax deferred basis Tax can be minimized or deferred when benefits are distributed Participant s account protected against creditors Participant has non-forfeitable right to retirement benefits Life insurance can be bought on a tax deductible basis A tax credit may be available for the establishment and administration of a new plan 9
10 And they just keep getting better January 2006: Roth provision can be added to 401(k) plan August 2006: New Pension Protection Act of 2006 adds significant tax benefits available to business owners and other Highly Compensated Employees Automatic enrollment effective in 2008 will add approximately 10 million new 401(k) participants Estimated $1.8 trillion in new money over the next 20 years. 10
11 Defined Benefit Plan: Winners and Losers Winners Allows larger deductions Clarifies status of cash balance plans Delta and Northwest Airlines Surviving spouse rules In-service distributions Losers Tightens DB funding rules (requires faster funding) Sets up less flexibility in calculating funding obligation 11
12 Defined Benefit Plans Still Rockin and Rollin for Small Business Owners Traditional DB plans 412(i) DB plans [now 412 (e)(3)] 12
13 How the new DB deduction rules can benefit business owners Old Law New Law DB only DB and DC Limited by restrictive funding rules 25% of covered comp excluding 401(k) Funding rules liberalized (larger deductions available) 2006: Additional 6% available for PS 2008: Each plan subject to individual limits if covered by PBGC 13
14 Example of the new deduction rules Pre-PPA DB deduction DB only: $100,000 limited by funding rules Combined plans: 25% limit 2006 deduction DB only: $400,000 because of new funding requirements Combined plans: extra 6% PS or $13,200 at max comp of $220,000 for owner/hce 14
15 Advantages of 412(i) plans over traditional DB plans Creates larger initial deductions than a traditional plan since the funding assumptions are required to be much more conservative, and is not subject to the full funding limitation tests of a defined benefit plan; Does not require an enrolled actuary Is required to use policy contract guarantees as funding assumptions, thus shielding assumptions from IRS attack as unreasonable Can be designed to eliminate the potential of excess plan assets that, in a traditional plan, would be subject to taxes and penalties of 80% or more upon termination of the plan; Produces an understandable accrued benefit since it is simply the cash value of the contracts funding the participant's account; Provides retirement benefits that are guaranteed by the insurance company and not just the financial strength of the particular employer providing the plan. 15
16 Best 412(i) prospects Highly profitable & stable business Owner over 45 years old Few or no employees Employees young and low-income Very high, stable income Desire to maximize deductions Ability to continue contributions min. 5 years Appreciates value of survivor benefit 16
17 Five quick questions to ask the business owner 1. How old are you? 2. How many employees do you have? 3. How much would you like to contribute and deduct each year? 4. Do you or your spouse own any other businesses? 5. Do you have any leased employees? 17
18 Defined Contribution Plans: Winners and Losers Winners Removes EGTRRA sunset provisions Clarifies automatic enrollment/default funds Allows investment advice to participants Expands distribution rules Allows larger deductions Requires diversification of employer stock Losers 18
19 No Way to Stop More Law Changes Technical Corrections Add-ons to other legislation such as Iraq funding bill Continued legislative tinkering 19
20 Our Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan Administration Checklist for 2007 Default investment arrangements Updated expense policy Expanded availability of hardship distributions Faster vesting of employer non-elective contributions (match or profit sharing) Vesting statements Updated QDRO procedure Availability of rollover by non-spouse beneficiary Availability of fiduciary liability insurance 2008: Automatic Enrollment 20
21 More Class Action Lawsuits The alleged abuses On-going investigations by plaintiff s law firms 21
22 Regulatory Focus IRS: 26 Priority Guidance Plan Retirement Benefit Items DOL: 25 PPA regulations in 2007/
23 The arms race is over after 25 years First 401(k) in 1982, then: Daily valuation Loans Self-directed brokerage Web access Investment education tools Multi-share classes Co-fiduciary Advice tools 23
24 Where the focus will be Business owner who wants to maximize contributions and benefits What plan sponsor and employee actually want 24
25 Designing the Perfect Retirement Plan for the Business Owner Meets legal requirements Is affordable Allows flexibility for making contributions Maximizes benefits for the owner Provides for family members working in the company Has a full service support system 25

29 The Coming Annuitization of 401(k) Plans Already part of some 401(k) plans Solving the annuity puzzle : the disconnect between the economic realities and the psychological reaction 29
