Expenses incurred prior to the termination of employment shall be subject to the Election in effect upon termination; while the Employee shall have an opportunity to make a new Election and expenses incurred after re- employment shall be subject to the Election made upon re-employment. (b) Within thirty (30) days following a termination of employment, shall have the Election in effect prior to the termination of employment reinstated upon re- employment. 5.5 Benefit Descriptions. While an Election to receive one or more of the Optional Benefits may be made under this Plan, the benefits themselves may be provided in accordance with Plan documents or contracts which describe the types and amounts of benefits available, the requirements for participation, procedures for submitting claims, and the other terms and conditions of coverage. Such underlying Plan documents or contracts, if any, are incorporated into this Plan by reference. 5.6 Forfeiture. Any amounts, whether obtained through salary reduction, salary deduction, Employer Contributions, or otherwise, under this Plan which cannot be distributed by the Plan Administrator to cover the cost of Optional Benefits for the applicable Plan Year, shall be forfeited by the Participant. Forfeited amounts, in accordance with the Cafeteria Plan Regulations, may be: (a) retained by the Employer, (b) used to defray the reasonable administrative costs of the Plan, (c) used to reduce required salary reduction amounts for the immediately following Plan Year on a reasonable and uniform basis, and/or (d) returned to the Participants on a reasonable and uniform basis. Under no circumstances shall the Plan Administrator establish an outside formal or informal arrangement under which the forfeited amounts are allocated among Participants based (directly or indirectly) on their individual claims experience under the Plan. 5.7 Limitations on Benefits. Benefits shall be limited as determined by the Plan Administrator for the purpose of ensuring compliance with any nondiscrimination requirement applicable to the Plan or an Optional Benefit. 16
