VFCP - Sponsor Used Plan Assets to Fund Lost Earnings on Delinquent Deposits

Pretty much as the title says. 

While filling out a VFCP, I discovered that lost earnings were paid out of that year's forfeitures. Ok by IRS, not so much under VFCP.

Does anybody have any experience with this or how to correct?  My thought is to make an additional employer contribution to plan participants for that year in the amount used but will the DOL accept that and still accept the VFCP application?

We could then show that the lost earnings were funded by the forfeitures but this was corrected (to include lost earnings on that amount as well) and the costs ultimately came out of employer funds and not plan assets.
