Treatment of Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Committee and the Trustee in connection with administering this Plan and Trust Fund shall be paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund to the extent the expenses have not been paid or assumed by the Employer or by the Trustee. The Committee may determine that, and shall inform the Trustee when, reasonable expenses may be charged directly to the Account or Accounts of a Participant or group of Participants to whom or for whose benefit such expenses are allocable, subject to the guidelines set forth in Field Assistance Bulletin 2003-03, to the extent not superseded, or any successor directive issued by the Department of Labor.

Administrative Expenses. Unless paid by the Company and except as otherwise provided below, all reasonable costs, charges, and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, including expenses incurred by the Committee, compensation to the Trustee, compensation to an investment manager, and any compensation to agents, attorneys, actuaries, accountants, recordkeepers, and other persons performing services on behalf of this Plan or for the Committee will be paid from the Trust Fund in such portions as the Committee may direct. As directed by the Committee, expenses to be paid from the Trust Fund may be drawn from # Participants’ Accounts, in the form of a flat fee, charges for specific services, or a percentage of the value of each Account, # earnings or gains in each Investment Fund or # forfeitures under Section 4.2. Expenses directly related to the investment of a particular Investment Fund (such as brokerage, postage, express and insurance charges, and transfer taxes) shall be paid from that Investment Fund. The Company, in its discretion, may decide to pay the expenses incurred in operating and administering the Plan for certain Participating Affiliates or certain Participants.
