<br />2.6 <br /> <br />DEATH <br /> <br />If a Participant dies, his participation in the Plan shall cease. However, such <br />Participant's beneficiaries, or the representative of his estate, may submit claims for expenses <br />or benefits for the remainder of the Plan Year or until the Cafeteria Plan Benefit Dollars <br />allocated to each specific benefit are exhausted. A Participant may designate a specific <br />beneficiary for this purpose. If no such beneficiary is specified, the Administrator may designate <br />the Participant's Spouse, one of his Dependents or a representative of his estate. <br /> <br />ARTICLE III <br />CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN <br /> <br />3.1 <br /> <br />EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION <br /> <br />The Employer shall make available to each Participant an Employer Contribution <br />in an amount to be determined by the Employer prior to the beginning of each Plan Year. Each <br />Participant's Employer Contribution shall be converted to Cafeteria Plan Benefit Dollars and be <br />available to purchase Benefits pursuant to Article IV. The Employer's Contribution shall be <br />made on a pro rata basis for each pay period of the Participant. If no Benefits are selected, <br />there shall be no Employer Contribution. <br /> <br />3.2 <br /> <br />SALARY REDIRECTION <br /> <br />If a Participant's Employer Contribution is not sufficient to cover the cost of <br />Benefits or Premium Expenses he elects pursuant to Article IV, his Compensation will be <br />reduced in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of Benefits he elected and the <br />amount of Employer Contribution available to him. Such reduction shall be his Salary <br />Redirection, which the Employer will use on his behalf, together with his Employer Contribution, <br />to pay for the Benefits he elected. The amount of such Salary Redirection shall be specified in <br />the Salary Redirection Agreement and shall be applicable for a Plan Year. Notwithstanding the <br />above, for new Participants, the Salary Redirection Agreement shall only be applicable from the <br />first day of the pay period following the Employee's entry date up to and including the last day of <br />the Plan Year. These contributions shall be converted to Cafeteria Plan Benefit Dollars and <br />allocated to the funds or accounts established under the Plan pursuant to the Participants' <br />elections made under Article V. <br /> <br />Any Salary Redirection shall be determined prior to the beginning of a Plan Year <br />(subject to initial elections pursuant to Section 5.1) and prior to the end of the Election Period <br />and shall be irrevocable for such Plan Year. However, a Participant may revoke a Benefit <br />election or a Salary Redirection Agreement after the Plan Year has commenced and make a <br />new election with respect to the remainder of the Plan Year, if both the revocation and the new <br />election are on account of and consistent with a change in status and such other permitted <br />events as determined under Article V of the Plan and consistent with the rules and regulations <br />of the Department of the Treasury. Salary Redirection amounts shall be contributed on a <br />pro rata basis for each pay period during the Plan Year. All individual Salary Redirection <br />Agreements are deemed to be part of this Plan and incorporated by reference hereunder. <br /> <br />5 <br />
