<br />(c) The Employer may select suitable health Contracts for use in <br />providing this health insurance benefit, which policies will provide uniform <br />benefits for all Participants electing this Benefit. <br /> <br />(d) The rights and conditions with respect to the benefits payable from <br />such health Contract shall be determined therefrom, and such Contract shall be <br />incorporated herein by reference. <br /> <br />4.5 CASH BENEFIT <br /> <br />If a Participant does not elect any Salary Redirections, such Participant shall be <br />deemed to have chosen the Cash Benefit as his sole Benefit Option. However, if a Participant <br />fails to make any election of Benefit Option, then the Employer Contribution will be deemed to <br />be waived. <br /> <br />4.6 NONDISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />(a) It is the intent of this Plan to provide benefits to a classification of <br />employees which the Secretary of the Treasury finds not to be discriminatory in <br />favor of the group in whose favor discrimination may not occur under Code <br />Section 125. <br /> <br />(b) It is the intent of this Plan not to provide qualified benefits as <br />defined under Code Section 125 to Key Employees in amounts that exceed 25% <br />of the aggregate of such Benefits provided for all Eligible Employees under the <br />Plan. For purposes of the preceding sentence, qualified benefits shall not include <br />benefits which (without regard to this paragraph) are includible in gross income. <br /> <br />(c) If the Administrator deems it necessary to avoid discrimination or <br />possible taxation to Key Employees or a group of employees in whose favor <br />discrimination may not occur in violation of Code Section 125, it may, but shall <br />not be required to, reduce contributions or non-taxable Benefits in order to <br />assure compliance with this Section. Any act taken by the Administrator under <br />this Section shall be carried out in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner. If the <br />Administrator decides to reduce contributions or non-taxable Benefits, it shall be <br />done in the following manner. First, the non-taxable Benefits of the affected <br />Participant (either an employee who is highly compensated or a Key Employee, <br />whichever is applicabie) who has the highest amount of non-taxable Benefits for <br />the Plan Year shall have his non-taxable Benefits reduced untii the discrimination <br />tests set forth in this Section are satisfied or until the amount of his non-taxable <br />Benefits equals the non-taxable Benefits of the affected Participant who has the <br />second highest amount of non-taxable Benefits. This process shall continue until <br />the nondiscrimination tests set forth in this Section are satisfied. With respect to <br />any affected Participant who has had Benefits reduced pursuant to this Section, <br />the reduction shall be made proportionately among Health Flexible Spending <br />Account Benefits and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account Benefits, and <br />once all these Benefits are expended, proportionately among insured Benefits. <br />Contributions which are not utilized to provide Benefits to any Participant by <br />virtue of any administrative act under this paragraph shall be forfeited and <br />deposited into the benefit plan surplus. <br /> <br />7 <br />
