5.1 Committee

This Plan will be administered by the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or a committee thereof. The Committee may delegate any of its authority hereunder to a committee or to one or more individuals provided such delegation is in writing. Any such delegation is incorporated herein by this reference. The Committee, and to the extent applicable its delegates, shall have the discretionary authority to determine factual issues and eligibility for Plan coverage and benefits, to interpret the provisions and terms of Plan and to decide claims for benefits under the terms of the Plan. Subject to applicable law, any interpretation of the provisions of the Plan (including any Supplement) and any decision on any matter within the discretion of the Committee, or as applicable its delegates, made by it or them in good faith shall be final and binding on all persons. A misstatement or other mistake of fact shall be corrected when it becomes known, and the Committee or as applicable its delegates shall make such adjustment on account thereof as it considers equitable and practicable. The Committee shall not be liable in any manner for any determination of fact made in good faith. Any claim for benefits under the Plan shall be handled by the Committee, or as applicable its delegates, pursuant to the claims procedures under the Retirement Savings Plan or the Pension Plan, as applicable, and such procedures are incorporated herein by this reference. No action at law or in equity may be brought to recover benefits under the Plan until the Participant has exercised all appeal rights and the Plan benefits requested in such appeal have been denied in whole or in part. Benefits under the Plan shall be paid only if the Committee, or as applicable its delegates, in its or their discretion, determines that a Participant (or other claimant) is entitled to them.
