Such written notice shall also indicate the steps to be taken by the Claimant if a review of the denial is desired.
5
(b) If a claim is denied, and a review is desired, the Claimant shall notify the Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of

In addition, while it is the expectation of the Company that this Plan and the payment of contributions will be continued indefinitely, continuance of the Plan is not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Company. The Board expressly reserves the right at any time to terminate this Plan or to reduce, temporarily suspend or discontinue contributions hereunder on a prospective basis, following the date of such Board action.
8.2 Binding Agreement.
This Plan document shall be binding upon the heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns of each party.

Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, with or without cause, unless expressly provided in a separate written employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give the Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or to interfere with the right of the
Company to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.
6

Box 2778, Newport

obligation to withhold federal, state and local income and payroll taxes.
8.8 Entire Agreement. This Plan document constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter of this agreement and supersedes all previous negotiations, agreements and commitments in respect thereto. No oral explanation or oral information by either of the parties to this agreement shall alter the meaning or interpretation of this agreement.
Pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Plan, Participant’s Death Benefit shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule, as amended from time to time, in the discretion of the Administrator:
Category
Description
Participant’s
Death Benefit
Category I
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, or Senior Vice Presidents participating in FELIP I on December 31, 2005
The following assumptions and methodology shall be used for purposes of establishing the annual premium (non-smoker and smoker) which shall be contributed by the Company in accordance with Section 4.3:
Insurance Carrier:
New York Life Insurance
and Annuity Corporation
Product:
Corporate Sponsored Universal Life
Current Crediting Rate:
Defined by the carrier annually
Non-Smoker Premium Methodology:
On or before each policy-anniversary the Administrator-will-solve for an annual premium payment, assuming non-smoker insurance charges, to be paid through the participant’s age 65 that will maintain the level death benefit as defined in Schedule 1 and will allow the policy’s cash value to be 25% of the initial face amount at the participant’s age 95.
Smoker Premium Methodology:
On
or before each policy anniversary the Administrator will solve for an annual premium payment, assuming non-smoker insurance charges, to be paid through the participant’s age 65 that will maintain the level death benefit as defined in Schedule 1 and will allow the policy’s cash value to be 25% of the initial face amount at the participant’s age 95. However, smoker insurance charges will be deducted by the carrier from the policy cash value. The use of smoker insurance charges will cause the policy to lapse prior to age 95, unless additional premium payments are made. It will be the participant’s responsibility to contribute further premium, if so desired, to achieve the cash value target described above. Smokers who have quit smoking can request a change to non-smoker rates, pending a urine test.
The Current Crediting Rate and Insurance Charges are not guaranteed and will fluctuate over time, therefore both methodologies described
above cannot guarantee the policy will perform as illustrated.
