Section # Claims. An Employee who has not begun to receive benefits under this Plan and who believes he is entitled to benefits hereunder, or the Employee’s representative, must submit a claim to the Compensation Committee or its designee (the “Administrator”). A claim must be submitted in writing and in a manner acceptable to the Administrator. A claim will not be considered complete until the Administrator has received all documentation it has requested to verify the validity of the claim. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator shall, within 90 days (or in special cases, and upon prior written notice to the claimant, 180 days) of receipt of the completed claim inform the claimant of the reason(s) for the denial, the specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial was based, any additional information that may be necessary to perfect the claim, and the procedure for appealing the denial of the claim.

SECTION # Claims. In the event any person or his authorized representative (a “Claimant”) disputes the amount of, or his entitlement to, any benefits under the Plan or their method of payment, such Claimant shall file a claim in writing with, and on the form prescribed by, the Plan Administrator for the benefits to which he believes he is entitled, setting forth the reason for his claim. The Claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim and shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records or other information relevant to the claim. The Plan Administrator shall consider the claim and within 90 days of receipt of such claim, unless special circumstances exist which require an extension of the time needed to process such claim, the Plan Administrator shall inform the Claimant of its decision with respect to the claim. In the event of special circumstances, the response period can be extended for an additional 90 days, as long as the Claimant receives written notice advising of the special circumstances and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to make a determination (the “Extension Notice”) before the end of the initial 90-day response period indicating the reasons for the extension and the date by which a decision is expected to be made. If the Plan Administrator denies the claim, the Plan Administrator shall give to the Claimant # a written notice setting forth the specific reason or reasons for the denial of the claim, including references to the applicable provisions of the Plan, # a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect such claim along with an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and # appropriate information as to the Plan’s appeals procedures as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Plan, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring an action under [Section 502(a)] of ERISA. Any claim must be filed within one year after the Claimant’s termination of employment or else it will be forever barred and waived.

Administrative Review. If an Employee makes a written request alleging a right to receive payments under this Plan or alleging a right to receive an adjustment in benefits being paid under this Plan, such actions shall be treated as a claim for benefits. All claims for benefits under this Plan shall be administered by the Vice President, Global Compensation & HR Shared Services or equivalent role or, if delegated, to such human resources director or appropriate administrator at the Employee’s business unit (“Administrator”). If the Administrator determines that any individual who has claimed a right to receive benefits, or different benefits, under this Plan is not entitled to receive all or any part of the benefits claimed, the Administrator shall inform the claimant in writing of such determination and the reasons therefore in terms calculated to be understood by the claimant. The notice shall be sent within 90 days of the claim unless the Administrator determines that additional time, not exceeding 90 days, is needed. The notice shall make specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and shall describe any additional material or information that is necessary. Such notice shall, in addition, inform the claimant of the procedure that the claimant should follow to take advantage of the review procedure set forth below in the event the claimant desires to contest the denial of the claim. If the Employee is not notified within the 90 day period specified herein, he or she may assume the claim has been denied.
