<br />(d) Contract incorporated by reference. The rights and conditions <br />with respect to the benefits payable from such health Contract shall be <br />determined therefrom, and such Contract shall be incorporated herein by <br />reference. <br /> <br />4.5 CASH BENEFIT <br /> <br />If a Participant does not elect any Salary Redirections, such Participant shall be <br />deem~d to have chosen the Cash Benefit as his sole Benefit Option.

NONDISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />(a) Intent to be nondiscriminatory. It is the intent of this Plan to <br />provide benefits to a classification of employees which the Secretary of the <br />Treasury finds not to be discriminatory in favor of the group in whose favor <br />discrimination may not occur under Code Section 125. <br /> <br />(b) 25% concentration test. It is the intent of this Plan not to provide <br />qualified benefits as defined under Code Section 125 to Key Employees in <br />amounts that exceed 25% of the aggregate of such Benefits provided for all <br />Eligible Employees under the Plan. For purposes of the preceding sentence, <br />qualified benefits shall not include benefits which (without regard to this <br />paragraph) are includible in gross income. <br /> <br />(c) Adjustment to avoid test failure. If the Administrator deems it <br />necessary to avoid discrimination or possible taxation to Key Employees or a <br />group of employees in whose favor discrimination may not occur in violation of <br />Code Section 125, it may, but shall not be required to, reduce contributions or <br />non-taxable Benefits in order to assure compliance with this Section. Any act <br />taken by the Administrator under this Section shall be carried out in a uniform <br />and nondiscriminatory manner. If the Administrator decides to reduce <br />contributions or non-taxable Benefits, it shall be done in the following manner. <br />First, the non-taxable Benefits of the affected Participant (either an employee <br />who is highly compensated or a Key Employee, whichever is applicable) who has <br />the highest amount of non-taxable Benefits for the Plan Year shall have his <br />non-taxable Benefits reduced until the discrimination tests set forth in this Section <br />are satisfied or until the amount of his non-taxable Benefits equals the <br />non-taxable Benefits of the affected Participant who has the second highest <br />amount of non-taxable Benefits. This process shall continue until the <br />nondiscrimination tests set forth in this Section are satisfied. With respect to any <br />affected Participant who has had Benefits reduced pursuant to this Section, the <br />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 self-funded <br />Benefits. Contributions which are not utilized to provide Benefits to any <br />Participant by virtue of any administrative act under this paragraph shall be <br />forfeited and deposited into the benefit plan surplus. <br /> <br />7 <br />
