Article IX - Plan Administration

9.1 Powers and Duties of Administrative Committee. The Committee shall have absolute discretion with respect to the operation, interpretation and administration of the Plan. The Committee’s powers and duties shall include, but not be limited to:

 

  a) Establishing Accounts for Participants;


  b) Determining eligibility for, and amount of, distributions from the Plan;

 

  c) Adopting, interpreting, altering, amending or revoking rules and regulations necessary to administer the Plan;

 

  d) Delegating ministerial duties and employing outside professionals as may be required; and

 

  e) Entering into agreements or taking such other actions on behalf of the Employer as are necessary to implement the Plan.

In the event a member of the Committee is also a Participant, such member shall not be entitled to make any decision with respect to his or her own participation in, and benefits under, the Plan. Any action of the Committee may be taken by a vote or written consent of the majority of the Committee members entitled to act. Any Committee member shall be entitled to represent the Committee, including the signing of any certificate or other written direction, with regard to any action approved by the Committee.

9.2 Expenses. All expenses, including, but not limited to any investment fees, administrative fees and income taxes, incurred with respect to the Plan shall be paid by the Employer.

9.3 Claims Procedure. In the event a claim by a Participant relating to the amount of any distribution is denied, such person will be given written notice by the Committee of such denial, which notice shall set forth the reason for denial. The Participant may, within sixty (60) days after receiving the notice, request a review of such denial by filing notice in writing with the Committee. The Committee, in its discretion, may request a meeting with the Participant to clarify any matters it deems pertinent. The Committee will render a written decision within sixty (60) days after receipt of such request, stating the reason for its decision. If the Committee is unable to respond within sixty (60) days, an additional sixty (60) days may be taken by the Committee to respond. The Participant will be notified if the additional time is necessary by the end of the initial sixty (60) day period. The determination of the Committee as to any disputed questions or issues arising under the Plan and all interpretations, determinations and decisions of the Committee with respect to any claim hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons.
