as it shall deem in its discretion expedient to effectuate the purposes of the Plan;
(h) Establish rules, not contrary to the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement, for the administration of the Plan and the transaction of its

interpretation, and application of the Plan;
(i) To establish or designate Investment Funds as provided in Article IV; and
(j) To receive and review reports from the Trustee as to the financial condition of the Trust Fund, including its receipts and disbursements.
All determinations of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all Members and Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the preceding, with respect to
amounts attributable to 409A Benefits and with respect to administration of the Plan on and after January 1, 2005, the Committee shall act to administer
and interpret the Plan in compliance with Code Section 409A and all related guidance issued pursuant to such Code Section.
Any action to be taken by the Company shall be taken by resolution adopted by its Board of Directors, an executive committee thereof, or its governing
body; provided however, that by resolution such entity may delegate to any officer of the Company the authority to take any action hereunder, other
than the power to amend or terminate the Plan or the Trust or to determine the basis of the Company's contributions.
