For any highly compensated or non-highly compensated group (*HCG or **NHCG), the ADP is the average of the individual ADPs for all participants of that group. To satisfy this test, 401(k) contributions must meet one of the two following discrimination tests: The ADP of the HCG cannot exceed 200% of the ADP of the NHCG and the point spread between the two groups cannot exceed two percentage points; or The ADP of the HCG cannot exceed 125% of the ADP of the NHCG How it Works IF THE NHCG ADP% IS ALLOWABLE SPREAD THEN THE HCG% CAN BE 1% x2 2% 1.5% x2 3% 2% +2 4% 3% +2 5% 4% +2 6% 5% +2 7% 6% +2 8% 7% +2 9% 8% +2 10% 9% x1.25 11.25% 10% x1.25 12.5% *Highly Compensated Group (HCG) **Non-Highly Compensated Group (NHCG) 11

SAFE HARBOR An employer can make one of the following contributions: Safe Harbor Non-elective 3% of compensation Safe Harbor Match 100% on the first 3% of employee deferrals plus 50% on the next 2% of employee deferrals OR 100% on the first 4% of employee deferrals Both must be 100% vested No last day provision 17

SAFE HARBOR MEANS No ADP Test No ACP Test Exempt From Top Heavy Rules 18

DISCRETIONARY PROFIT SHARING An employer can make one of the following discretionary profit sharing contributions: Pro-rata (non integrated) All eligible participants receive the same percentage of contribution. Integrated The contribution will be allocated to the participant s account in the same proportion as their compensation plus their compensation in excess of a percentage of the Social Security Wage Base bears to the total compensation plus excess compensation of all eligible participants. The maximum amount that can be allocated in this first step varies and is dependent upon the integration level. Cross Tested The non-elective contribution will depend on how much compensation the participant received during the year as well as the group to which they were assigned. The employer may contribute a different amount on behalf of each group. The amount contributed on behalf of each group will be allocated proportionately based on each participant s wages as compared to the total compensation of all participants in the designated group. Subject to Vesting Subject to Last Day 19

DISCRETIONARY PROFIT SHARING What is Cross Testing? A creative or targeted way of allocating Company profit sharing dollars The ability to skew the contribution in favor of specific employees Must be a provision in the Plan Document 20

MARKETING 401(k) PLANS HOW TO ACQUIRE A NEW CLIENT IN JUST TWO MEETINGS 33

COMMON ISSUES & CONCERNS 1. What is the goal of the plan? Employee Benefit versus Owner Centric Different goals for different owners no problem 2. Does the plan have Roth? E-Z to add 3. Are owners maximizing their contributions? (Do they even know the maximum number?) 4. Do they have a SEP or SIMPLE Plan? (These plans leave a lot on the table) 5. Is the plan Safe Harbor? Should it be? 6. Is the plan with a payroll provider? (Malpractice In a Box!) 7. For higher earning professionals ($4-500K per year) Have they explored a Cash Balance Plan? 8. Is the plan subject to an audit? (> 100 participants) 9. Do participants understand and appreciate the benefit? 34
