 Section 9 of the Plan is amended to read in full as follows: 
  
 9. Claims Procedure 
  
 (a) Filing Claim for Benefits 
  
 A person who believes that he or she is being denied payment
of a vested benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan (hereinafter “Claimant”) must file a written request for such benefit with the Committee, setting forth his or her claim, including a statement of the reason(s) why such
benefit has become vested and payable. The request must be addressed to the Committee at its then principal place of business. The claim must be dated and signed by the Claimant or his or her authorized representative, and must contain the
Claimant’s address and telephone number. 
  
 If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Committee or its delegate shall, within a reasonable period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim, provide written notice to the Claimant setting forth the
following in a manner reasonably calculated to be understood by the Claimant: 
  
 (i) The specific reason or reasons for the denial; 
  
 (ii) Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 
  
 (iii) A description of any additional material or
information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and 
  
 (iv) An explanation of the Plan’s review procedures and time limits, including, where appropriate, the Claimant’s right to bring
a lawsuit under Section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) following an adverse benefit determination on review. 
  
 If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the Committee or its
delegate may extend the period for an additional ninety (90) days by furnishing written notice of the extension and the special circumstances to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. 
  

 -3- 

 If notice of denial of the claim is not furnished to a Claimant within these periods, and
the claim has not been granted within these periods, the claim shall be deemed denied for the purposes of review. 
  
 (b) Appeals Procedure 
  
 A Claimant who wishes to appeal the denial of a claim must deliver to the Committee a written application for review within sixty
(60) days after receipt by the Claimant of written notification of denial of the claim. Such written application must be addressed to the Secretary of the Employer, at its then principal place of business. The written application must be dated
and signed by the Claimant or his or her authorized representative and must request a review of the prior denial of the claim. The Claimant shall be entitled to a full and fair review of the denial of his or her claim, including the opportunity to
submit issues and comments in writing. 
  
 Any
new information will be considered without regard to whether it was submitted in the initial determination for benefits. On appeal, the Claimant or the Claimant’s representative may also review all relevant documents, records, and other
information pertaining to the claim for benefits which were relied upon, submitted, considered or generated in the course of making such benefit determination. The Claimant may also request a copy of such documents free of charge. 
  
 The Committee shall make its decision on the appeal within a
reasonable period of time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing, if in the Committee’s determination a hearing is necessary or advisable)
require an extension of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. If such an extension of time for review is required because
of special circumstances, written notice of the extension and the special circumstances shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. If the decision on review is not furnished within these time limits, the claim
shall be deemed denied on review. 
  
 The
decision on review shall be in writing, shall be written in a manner reasonably calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and shall include specific reasons for the decision, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the
decision is based, and notice that the Claimant is entitled to receive the relevant documents pertaining to the claim, and, where appropriate, that the Claimant has a right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 
  

 -4- 

 The claims procedures set forth in this Section 9 shall be strictly adhered to by
each Claimant under this Plan and no judicial or arbitration proceedings with respect to any claim for Plan benefits hereunder shall be commenced by any Claimant until the proceedings set forth herein shall have been exhausted in full. 

 
 Executed at Santa Ana, California, this 25th day of August, 2005.
