 RECITALS 
  

	1.	The Company maintains the Plan, a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company as well as members of the
Company’s Board of Directors. 

  

	2.	The Plan is the successor plan to the Sun Microsystems, Inc. U.S. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”). Effective December 31, 2004, the Prior
Plan was frozen and no new contributions were made to it; provided, however, that effective December 31, 2008 the Prior Plan shall be merged into the Plan. 

  

	3.	Any deferrals made under the Prior Plan shall be deemed to have been made under the Plan and all such deferrals shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan as it may
be amended from time to time. 

  

	4.	Under the Plan, the Company is obligated to pay vested accrued benefits to Plan Participants and their Beneficiary or Beneficiaries from the Company’s general assets.

  

	5.	The Company has entered into an agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. pursuant to which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., serves as the trustee (the
“Trustee”) under an irrevocable trust, to be used in connection with the Plan (the “Trust”). 

  

	6.	The Company intends to make contributions to the Trust so that such contributions will be held by the Trust and invested, reinvested and distributed, all in accordance with this
Plan and the Trust Agreement. 

  

	7.	The Company intends that amounts contributed to the Trust and the earnings thereon shall be used by the Trustee to satisfy the liabilities of the Company under the Plan with respect
to each Plan Participant for whom an Account (as defined below) has been established and such utilization shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. 

  

	8.	The Company intends that the Trust be a “grantor trust” with the principal and income of the Trust treated as assets and income of the Company for federal and state income
tax purposes. 

  

	9.	The Company intends that the assets of the Trust shall at all times be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company as provided in the Trust Agreement.

	10.	The Company intends that the existence of the Trust shall not alter the characterization of the Plan as “unfunded” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and shall not be construed to provide income to Plan Participants under the Plan prior to actual payment of the vested accrued benefits hereunder. 

  

	11.	The Company intends that the Plan comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall be operated and interpreted
consistent with that intent.

	 	4.	Election to Participate in Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	Deferral Election. An Eligible Employee or an Eligible Board Member may elect to participate in the Plan by submitting a Deferred Compensation Election in such form as the
Company may specify during any Election Period. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 4(b) below, a Deferral Election must be made and become irrevocable not later than last day of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Compensation
being deferred is earned. A Deferred Compensation Election will remain in force until it is amended or revoked. Any such amendment or revocation will take affect on the first day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant
elects to amend or revoke the outstanding Deferred Compensation Election. In the event an Eligible Employee is downgraded below the director level during a Plan Year, his or her Deferred Compensation Election will remain in effect through the end of
such Plan Year. In addition to the foregoing, a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Election shall be cancelled as soon as administratively practical if such Participant applies for and receives a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable
Emergency. In such case, the Participant must submit a new Deferred Compensation Election during an Election Period to resume participation in the Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	Deferral Election for Newly Eligible Employees and Newly Eligible Board Members. In the Administrator’s discretion, a newly Eligible Employee whose position is approved
at a vice president level or higher or a newly Eligible Board Member may elect to participate in the Plan by submitting a Deferred Compensation Election in such form as the Company may specify; provided that such Deferred Compensation Election is
made and becomes irrevocable not later than thirty (30) days following the date such newly Eligible Employee or Board Member first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan and provided further that such Deferred Compensation Election applies
only to Compensation earned after the date of the election. In compliance with this Subsection 4(b), if the Participant’s initial Deferred Compensation Election is made after the performance period applicable to the bonus has begun, only the
amount equal to the total amount of the bonus for the performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the Deferred Compensation Election over the total number of days in the performance
period may be deferred. 

  

 6 

	 	(c)	Initial Deferral Election. Any Deferred Compensation Election under this Section 4 that is an initial Deferred Compensation Election also will include an election as to
the time and form of payment of the deferred Compensation. 

  

	 	(d)	Election Form. All Deferred Compensation Elections under this Section 4 shall be made in a manner prescribed for these purposes by the Administrator.

  

	 	(e)	Retention Awards Following Acquisition. The Company may, in its discretion, provide retention awards subject to vesting to selected employees in connection with an
acquisition of a business. Such award may, by its terms, provide for the deferral of payment to a later year. Alternatively, an Eligible Employee who receives a retention award may submit a Deferred Compensation Election with respect to part or all
of such award in accordance with Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(5). The award or Deferred Compensation Election, as applicable, shall specify the payment year and payment schedule and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan. 

  

	 	5.	Accounts. 

  

	 	(a)	Establishment of Account. The Company shall establish an Account for the terms of the Deferred Compensation Election. 

  

	 	(b)	Credits to Account. A Participant’s Account shall be credited with an amount equal to the percentage of each Compensation payment which would have been payable currently
to the Participant but for the terms of the Deferred Compensation Election. Deferred Compensation for Participants shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as soon as administratively possible after the date such deferred amount would
otherwise be paid to the Participant. 

  

	 	(c)	Vesting. Participants shall at all times be 100% vested in their deferrals under the Plan and all earnings or losses allocable thereto. 

  

	 	6.	Deferral Increments. 

  

	 	(a)	Maximum Deferral – Eligible Employees. The Participant who is an Eligible Employee may elect to defer (less any withholding requirements): 

  

	 	(i)	Up to 75% of any eligible annual or quarterly bonus award; 

  

	 	(ii)	Up to 60% of base salary; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Up to 100% of any retention award. 

  

	 	(b)	Maximum Deferral – Eligible Board Members. A Participant who is an Eligible Board Member may elect to defer (less any withholding requirements), up to 100% of his or her
Director Fees (to be credited to the account quarterly). 

  

 7 

	 	7.	Earnings or Losses on Accounts. 

  

	 	(a)	General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the amount in a Participant’s Account shall be adjusted for gain or loss based on the performance of the
investment options selected by the Participant (or Beneficiary following a Participant’s death) in accordance with Subsection 7(b) below. Gain or loss shall be computed daily. All distributions from the Account will be valued as of the end of
the last business day of the month preceding the payment date. 

  

	 	(b)	Investment of Accounts. The Investment Committee shall select two or more investment options to be made available to Participants for investment under the Plan. The
Investment Committee may change, discontinue, or add to the investment options made available under the Plan at any time as determined by the Investment Committee in its sole discretion. A Participant (or Beneficiary following a Participant’s
death) may select his or her investment options for new deferrals or for amounts already credited to his or her Account, once per month effective as of the first business day of the following month in accordance with procedures established by the
Investment Committee. If a Participant fails to make an investment allocation with respect to his/her Account, such Account shall be deemed invested in an investment option as determined by the Investment Committee. A Participant’s investment
allocation constitutes a deemed, not actual, investment among the investment options under the Plan. At no time shall a Participant have any real or beneficial ownership in any investment option, nor shall the Company or the Trustee acting on its
behalf have any obligation to purchase actual securities as a result of a Participant’s investment allocation. A Participant’s investment allocation shall be used solely for purposes of adjusting the value of a Participant’s Account.

  

	 	8.	Statements. Quarterly, and/or at intervals determined by the Administrator, the Company shall prepare and deliver to each Participant a statement listing the amount credited
to such Account as of the applicable date. 

  

	 	9.	Form and Time of Payment of Account. A Participant’s Account will be distributed upon the earlier of (i) the elected in-service distribution date(s),
(ii) Separation from Service, (iii) the Participant electing a distribution due to being Disabled, (iv) the Participant’s death, and (v) the Participant electing a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, in
accordance with this Section 9. 

  

	 	(a)	 In-Service Distribution Elections. Each Participant may elect at the time of his or her initial Deferred Compensation Election or in accordance with
Subsection 9(d) below, to have one or more distributions of a specified percentage or dollar amount of his or her Account commencing in his or her third year of Plan participation, provided that the Participant has not Separated from Service prior
to the elected in-service distribution date. A Participant may delay once such in-service distribution election, provided that such election must be made at least one (1) year prior to the original distribution date, and provided further that
the newly elected distribution 

  

 8 

	 	 
date is at least five (5) years after the originally scheduled distribution date. A Participant may not receive an in-service distribution more
frequently than once in a Plan Year whether such distribution is on account of an initial in-service distribution election or a modified in-service distribution election. Any in-service distribution shall be paid with the last payroll of the month
of the distribution date elected by the Participant. 

  

	 	(b)	Distribution of Account upon Retirement. In the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service on or after his or her Retirement Date, distribution of the
Participant’s Account shall begin with the last payroll of the month following the month in which the Participant Separates from Service, and shall be made consistent with the form of distribution specified on the Participant’s Deferred
Compensation Election. After the first installment, future installments shall be paid on the last payroll date of the anniversary month on the first installment. Available forms shall include either (i) a lump sum payment, (ii) a series of
approximately equal annual installments over a period of two (2) to fifteen (15) years, or (iii) a lump sum payment of a percentage of the Participant’s Account with the balance paid in a series of approximately equal annual
installments over a period of two (2) to ten (10) years. For purposes of the Plan, installment payments shall be treated as a single distribution under Section 409A of the Code. Accounts subject to installment payouts shall continue
to be adjusted for gains or losses in the same manner as active Accounts. A Participant may modify his or her elected form of distribution (i.e., lump sum, installments, or a combination of both) at any time prior to the date that is at least one
(1) year before the date the Participant Separates from Service and the Participant’s distribution will be delayed five (5) years from his or her Separation from Service. If a Participant modifies his or her elected form of
distribution but he or she Separates from Service less than one (1) year following the date of the modification election, his or her prior elected form of distribution shall apply to any distribution. 

  

	 	(c)	Distribution Prior to Retirement. If a Participant Separates from Service prior to his or her Retirement Date (other than on account of death), distribution of the
Participant’s Account shall begin with the last payroll of the month following the month in which the Participant Separates from Service and shall be made consistent with the form of distribution specified on the Participant’s Deferred
Compensation Election. After the first installment, future installments shall be paid on the last payroll date of the anniversary month of the first installment. Available forms of distribution shall include either a lump sum payment or a series of
approximately equal annual installments over a period of two (2) to five (5) years. For purposes of the Plan, installment payments shall be treated as a single distribution under Section 409A of the Code. Accounts subject to
installment payouts shall continue to be adjusted for gains or losses in the same manner as active Accounts. A Participant may modify his or her elected form of distribution (i.e. lump sum or installments) at any time prior to the date that is at
least one (1) year before the date the Participant Separates from Service and the Participant’s distribution will be delayed five (5) years from his or her Separation from Service. If a Participant modifies his or her elected form of
distribution but he or she Separates from Service less than one (1) year following the date of the modification election, his or her prior elected form of distribution shall apply to any distribution. 

  

 9 

	 	(d)	Special Distribution Elections in 2008. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who has not Separated from Service may modify his or
her distribution election(s) as elected in accordance with Subsections 9(a), (b), or (c) above, provided that the elections are made from November 24, 2008 through December 31, 2008. Any elections made pursuant to this Subsection 9(d)
shall be treated as initial distribution elections, shall cancel any previous distribution elections made under the Prior Plan and the Plan, and shall be subject to any special administrative rules imposed by the Administrator including rules
intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. No election under this Subsection 9(d) shall (i) result in an in-service distribution before the Participant’s third year of Plan participation, (ii) result in a Participant
receiving an in-service distribution more frequently than once in a Plan Year, or (iii) change the payment date of any distribution otherwise scheduled to be paid in 2008 or cause a payment to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable
in 2008. 

  

	 	(e)	Previously Scheduled Distribution Elections. Effective January 1, 2009, distribution elections made under the Prior Plan and the Plan remain in effect. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, if a Participant made different distribution elections under the Prior Plan and the Plan and did not make any special distribution elections during the period as set forth in Subsection (d), the most recent elections under
the Plan will continue in effect with respect the Participant’s entire account balance under the Plan, which includes his/her former account balance under the Prior Plan. 

  

	 	(f)	Default Distribution Election. In the absence of an effective Deferred Compensation Election as to the timing and/or method of distribution of a Participant’s Account,
distribution of the Participant’s Account shall be made in one lump sum payment with the last payroll of the month following the month in which the Participant Separates from Service. 

  

	 	(g)	Delayed Distribution to Key Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, a distribution made to a Participant who is designated as a Key Employee
shall be delayed for a minimum of six (6) months following the Participant’s Separation from Service. Any payment that otherwise would have been made pursuant to Subsections 10(b), (c), (d), or (e) during such six (6) month
period shall be made in one lump sum payment with the last payroll of the seventh month following the month in which the Participant Separates from Service. After the first installment, future installments shall be paid on the last payroll date of
the anniversary month of the first installment. 

  

 10 

	 	(h)	Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event a Participant who has not Separated from Service incurs an Unforeseeable Emergency, and upon application by such Participant, the
Administrator may determine at its sole discretion that payment of all, or part, of such Participant’s Account shall be made in one lump sum payment with the last payroll of the month following the month in which the distribution is approved by
the Administrator. Payments due to a Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency shall be permitted only to the extent reasonably required to satisfy the Participant’s need. 

  

	 	(i)	Acceleration of or Delay in Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no distribution shall be made from the Plan that would constitute an
impermissible acceleration of payment as defined in Section 409A(a)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Investment Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time or form of payment of
a benefit owed to the Participant; provided such acceleration is permitted under Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Investment Committee may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to the
Participant to the extent permitted under Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7). 

  

	 	(j)	De Minimis Accounts. Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided in the Plan or in a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Election, such Participant will receive
a lump sum payment if the balance of the Participant’s Account following a Separation from Service is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code and the payment results in the complete liquidation
of the Participant’s interest in the Plan. In addition, any remaining installment payments will be paid in a lump sum payment with the last payroll of the month following the month in which the balance of the Participant’s Account falls
below the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code. 

  

	 	(k)	Disability Benefit. In the event a Participant who as not Separated from Service is Disabled, and upon application by such Participant, payment of all, or part, of such
Participant’s Account shall be made in one lump sum payment with the last payroll of the month following the month in which the distribution is requested by the Participant. 

  

	 	10.	Effect of Death of Participant. 

  

	 	(a)	Payment of Account Balance. In the event of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in three
(3) annual installments commencing with the last payroll of the month following the month in which the Participant dies. After the first installment, future installments shall be paid on the last payroll date of the anniversary month of the
first installment. The remaining Account balance (during the period of the installment payouts) shall continue to be adjusted for gains or losses in the same manner as active Accounts. 

  

	 	(b)	 Beneficiary Designation. Upon enrollment in the Plan, each Participant shall file a prescribed form with the Company naming a person or persons as the
Beneficiary who will receive distributions payable under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s death. If the Participant does not name a 

  

 11 

	 	 
Beneficiary, or if none of the named Beneficiaries is living at the time payment is due, then the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s spouse
(including a legally-recognized same-sex spouse), or if none, the Participant’s children in equal shares, or if none, the Participant’s estate. 

  

	 	(c)	Change or Revocation. The Participant may change the designation of a Beneficiary at any time in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator. Designation of a
Beneficiary, or an amendment or revocation thereof, shall be effective on the date the Participant’s completed and signed designation/revocation is actually received by the recordkeeper for the Plan. To be valid, a completed and signed
designation/revocation must be actually received by the recordkeeper for the Plan prior to the Participant’s death. Actually received means actual receipt of the designation/revocation and not the date that the designation/revocation was placed
in the U.S. Mail or other private delivery service. The most recent designation on file cancels all previous designations. 

  

	 	(d)	Previous Beneficiary Designations. Effective January 1, 2009, a Participant’s beneficiary designations made under the Prior Plan and the Plan remain in effect.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Participant made different beneficiary designations under the Prior Plan and the Plan, the most recent beneficiary designation under the Plan will continue in effect with respect to deferrals under the
Prior Plan and the Plan and the designation under the Prior Plan shall no longer be effective. 

  

	 	11.	General Duties of Trustee. The Trustee shall manage, invest and reinvest the Trust Fund as provided in the Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall collect the income on the Trust
Fund, and make distributions therefrom, all as provided in the Plan and in the Trust Agreement. 

  

	 	12.	Withholding Taxes. All distributions under the Plan shall be subject to reduction in order to reflect tax withholding obligations imposed by law. 

  

	 	13.	Participant’s Unsecured Rights. The Account of any Participant, and such Participant’s right to receive distributions from his or her Account, shall be considered
an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company; such Accounts are unfunded bookkeeping entries. The Company considers the Plan to be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. No Participant shall have an interest
in, or make claim against, any specific asset of the Company pursuant to the Plan. 

  

	 	14.	Non-Assignability of Interests. Except as provided under Section 18 of the Plan, the interest of a Participant under the Plan is not subject to option or assignable by
either voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including without limitation to: bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process. Any act in violation of this Section 14 shall be void and without effect.

  

	 	15.	Limitation of Rights. 

  

	 	(a)	Bonuses. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to give any Eligible Employee any right to be granted a bonus award. 

  

 12 

	 	(b)	Employment Rights. Neither the Plan nor deferral of any Compensation, nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute, or be evidence of, any agreement or
understanding, express or implied, that the Company will employ an Eligible Employee for any period of time, in any position at any particular rate of compensation. The Company reserves the right to terminate an Eligible Employee’s employment
at any time for any reason, except as otherwise expressly provided in a written employment agreement. 

  

	 	16.	Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have full power and authority to administer, construe and determine
all questions that shall arise as to interpretations of the Plan’s provisions, including determination of eligibility, allocation of assets, method of payment, participation and benefits under the terms of the Plan, establish procedures for
administering the Plan, prescribe forms, and take any and all necessary actions in connection with the Plan. The Administrator’s interpretation and construction of the Plan shall be conclusive and binding on all persons, and will be given the
maximum possible deference allowed by law. The Administrator may appoint such agents, counsel, accountants, consultants and other persons as may be required to assist in administering the Plan and to allocate and delegate its power and authority
(including its discretion) described herein to one or more employees, officers or agents or to one or more persons or organizations that it has employed to perform its administrative responsibilities. In the event that any Participants are found to
be ineligible, that is, not members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, according to a determination made by the U.S. Department of Labor, the Administrator shall take whatever steps it deems necessary, in its sole
discretion, to equitably protect the interests of the affected Participants. 

  

	 	17.	Amendment or Termination of the Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	General Rule. The Compensation Committee may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall reduce a Participant’s
Account under the Plan without the Participant’s written consent. In the event of termination of the Plan, the Accounts of Participants shall be distributed within the period beginning twelve (12) months after the date the Plan was
terminated and ending twenty-four (24) months after the date the Plan was terminated, or pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, if earlier. If the Plan is terminated and Accounts are distributed, the Company shall terminate all account balance
non-qualified deferred compensation plans with respect to all Participants and shall not adopt a new account balance non-qualified deferred compensation plan for at least three (3) years after the date the Plan was terminated.

  

	 	(b)	Change of Control. The Compensation Committee may terminate the Plan thirty (30) days prior to or twelve (12) months following a Change of Control and distribute
the Accounts of the Participants within the twelve (12)-month period following the termination of the Plan. If the Plan is terminated and Accounts are distributed, the Company shall terminate all account balance non-qualified deferred compensation
plans sponsored by the Company and all of the benefits of the terminated plans shall be distributed within twelve (12) months following the termination of the plans. 

  

 13 

	 	(c)	Dissolution or Bankruptcy. The Plan shall automatically terminate upon a corporation dissolution of the Company that is taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the
approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1(A), provided that the Participants’ Accounts are distributed and included in the gross income of the Participants by the latest (or, if earlier, the taxable year in
which the amount is actually or constructively received) of (i) the Plan Year in which the Plan terminates or (ii) the first Plan Year in which payment of the Accounts is administratively practicable. 

  

	 	18.	Domestic Relations Orders. 

  

	 	(a)	In General. The procedures established by the Company for the determination of the qualified status of domestic relations orders and for making distributions under qualified
domestic relations orders, as provided in Section 414(p) of the Code, shall apply to the Plan, to the extent applicable. 

  

	 	(b)	Distributions. To the extent required to comply with a qualified domestic relations order, amounts awarded to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order
shall be distributed in the form of a lump sum distribution as soon as administratively feasible following the determination of the qualified status of the domestic relations order. To the extent that the qualified domestic relations order does not
require an immediate lump sum distribution, the alternate payee shall have all rights regarding investment elections and distribution elections and withdrawal rights as if such alternate payee were a Participant. For purposes of determining
distributions to an alternate payee, “Separation from Service” or “Retirement Date” shall be the Separation from Service or Retirement Date of the Participant whose Account was the subject of the qualified domestic relations
order. 

  

	 	19.	Incompetency. In the event a benefit is payable to a minor or person declared incompetent or incapable of handling the disposition of his property, the Administrator may pay
such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Administrator may require proof of incompetency, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to
distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such benefit. 

  

	 	20.	Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan shall be governed by ERISA and the Code, and, to the extent that they are not preempted,
by the laws of the State of California, excluding California’s choice-of-law provisions. 

  

 14 

	 	21.	Claims and Review Procedure. 

  

	 	(a)	Informal Resolution of Questions. Any Participant or Beneficiary who has questions or concerns about his or her benefits under the Plan is encouraged to communicate with
Global Benefits. If this discussion does not give the Participant or Beneficiary satisfactory results, a formal claim for benefits may be made within one (1) year of the event giving rise to the claim in accordance with the procedures of this
Section 21. 

  

	 	(b)	Formal Benefits Claim – Review by Global Benefits. A Participant or Beneficiary may make a written request for review of any matter concerning his or her benefits under
this Plan. The claim must be addressed to Global Benefits, 2005 U.S. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, Sun Microsystems, Inc., 4160 Network Circle, M/S USCA16-150, Santa Clara, California 95054. Global Benefits shall decide the action to be
taken with respect to any such request and may require additional information if necessary to process the request. Global Benefits shall review the request and shall issue its decision, in writing, no later than ninety (90) (forty-five
(45) in the case of disability benefits) days after the date the request is received, unless the circumstances require an extension of time. If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the person
making the request within the initial ninety (90) (forty-five (45) in the case of disability benefits)-day period, and the notice shall state the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which Global Benefits expects to reach
a decision on the request. In no event shall the extension exceed a period of ninety (90) (sixty (60) in the case of disability benefits) days from the end of the initial period. 

  

	 	(c)	Notice of Denied Request. If Global Benefits denies a request in whole or in part, he or she shall provide the person making the request with written notice of the denial
within the period specified in Subsection 21(b) above. The notice shall set forth the specific reason for the denial, reference to the specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information
necessary to perfect the request, an explanation of why such information is required, and an explanation of the Plan’s appeal procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to
bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. 

  

	 	(d)	Appeal to Administrator. 

  

	 	(i)	 A person whose request has been denied in whole or in part (or such person’s authorized representative) may file an appeal of the decision in writing with the

her authorized representative shall be permitted to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits. Upon request and free of charge, the applicant should be provided reasonable access to and

	 	(ii)	The Administrator’s review shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the appellant relating to the claim, without regard to
whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The Administrator shall not be restricted in his or her review to those provisions of the Plan cited in the original denial of the claim.

  

	 	(iii)	The Administrator shall issue a written decision within a reasonable period of time but not later than sixty (60) (forty-five (45) in the case of disability benefits) days
after receipt of the appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case the written decision shall be issued as soon as possible, but not later than one hundred twenty (120) (ninety (90) in the

including references to specific Plan provisions upon which the denial was based. The notice shall state that the appellant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and
other information relevant to the claim for benefits. The notice shall describe any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the appellant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures. The notice shall also include a
statement of the appellant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 

  

	 	(v)	The decision of the Administrator on the appeal shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons and shall be given the maximum possible deference allowed by law.

for benefits in accordance with Subsection 21(b) above, has been notified that the claim is denied in accordance with Subsection 21(c) above, has filed a written request for a review of the claim in accordance 

  

 16 

	 	 
with Subsection 21(d) above, and has been notified in writing that the Administrator has affirmed the denial of the claim in accordance with Subsection 21(d)
