manner.
(c) Any failure by the Compensation Committee to apply any provisions of this Plan to any particular situation shall not
represent a waiver of the Compensation Committee’s authority to apply such provisions thereafter. Every
interpretation, choice, determination or other exercise of any power or discretion given either expressly or by
implication to the Compensation Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties having or claiming to
have an interest under the Plan or otherwise directly or indirectly affected by such action, without restriction,
however, on the right of the Compensation Committee to reconsider and redetermine such action.
(d) Any decision rendered by the Compensation Committee and any review of such decision shall be limited to
determining whether the decision was so arbitrary and capricious as to be an abuse of discretion. The Compensation
Committee may adopt such rules and procedures for the administration of the Plan as are consistent with the terms
hereof.
6.03 Claims Procedure
(a) With respect to any claim for benefits which are provided exclusively under this Plan, the claim shall be approved or
denied by the Compensation Committee within sixty (60) days following the receipt of the information necessary to
process the claim. If the Compensation Committee denies a claim for benefits in whole or in part, it will give written
notice of the decision to the claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative, which notice will set forth in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, stating the specific reasons for such denial, make specific
reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision was based, and provide any other additional
information, as applicable, required by 29 Code of Federal Regulations Section 2560.503-1 applicable to the Plan.
(b) With respect to any claim for benefits which, under the terms of the Plan, are provided under another employee
benefit plan maintained by a Company, the Compensation Committee shall determine claims regarding the
Participant’s eligibility under the Plan in accordance with the preceding paragraph, but the administration of any other
claim with respect to such benefits (including the amount of such benefits) shall be subject to the claims procedure
specified in such other employee benefit plan or program.
Appeals with respect to any claim for benefits which, under the terms of the Plan, are provided under another employee
benefit plan maintained by a Company (e.g., group health, life insurance, etc.), shall be subject to the claims and appeals
procedure specified in such other employee benefit plan.
