PREAMBLE

The University of Virginia (the "University") established the Defined Contribution Plan for the General Faculty of the University of Virginia (the "Plan") effective July 1, 1989. The Plan is a money purchase pension plan and was adopted to replace a defined contribution 403(b) plan that the University had provided General Faculty prior to July 1, 1989. The Plan was originally a 403(a) plan funded solely through annuity contracts. However, the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 1996 to add the Trust for the Defined Contribution Plan for the General Faculty of the University of Virginia (the "Trust") to provide an alternative form of funding Participants' benefits. Various other changes were made in 1996 including amending the employer contribution formula. As a result of the 1996 restatement, the Plan is currently a combination 403(a)/401(a) plan funded both by annuities and a tax exempt 501(a) trust.
