Signature
If electing salary deferrals, I authorize my employer to withhold the amount/percentage specified above from each paycheck as of the effective
date provided, which will reduce my compensation under this election ( my elective deferral contributions ) . I may revoke or update this election
at any time as permitted by my employer. My elective deferral contributions are not subject to federal ( or state, if applicable ) income tax until
distributed from the Plan. If I revoke this election, I acknowledge that, contingent upon the terms of the SIMPLE IRA Plan, I may be prohibited
from submitting another Salary Deferral Election until the enrollment period immediately preceding the next plan year. The revocation or update
will be effective as soon as administratively possible by my employer after they have received the notice. I also understand that my elective
deferral contributions are subject to gain or loss in accordance with my selected investments.
