However, such <br /> Participant's beneficiaries , or the representative of his estate , may submit claims for expenses <br /> or benefits for the remainder of the Plan Year or until the Cafeteria Plan Benefit Dollars <br /> allocated to each specific benefit are exhausted . A Participant may designate a specific <br /> beneficiary for this purpose . If no such beneficiary is specified , the Administrator may designate <br /> the Participant's Spouse , one of his Dependents or a representative of his estate . <br /> ARTICLE III <br /> CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN <br /> 3 . 1 SALARY REDIRECTION <br /> Benefits under the Plan shall be financed by Salary Redirections sufficient to <br /> support Benefits that a Participant has elected hereunder and to pay the Participant's Premium <br /> Expenses . The salary administration program of the Employer shall be revised to allow each <br /> Participant to agree to reduce his pay during a Plan Year by an amount determined necessary <br /> to purchase the elected Benefit . The amount of such Salary Redirection shall be specified in the <br /> Salary Redirection Agreement and shall be applicable for a Plan Year. Notwithstanding the <br /> above , for new Participants , the Salary Redirection Agreement shall only be applicable from the <br /> first day of the pay period following the Employee's entry date up to and including the last day of <br /> the Plan Year. These contributions shall be converted to Cafeteria Plan Benefit Dollars and <br /> allocated to the funds or accounts established under the Plan pursuant to the Participants' <br /> elections made under Article V . <br /> Any Salary Redirection shall be determined prior to the beginning of a Plan Year <br /> ( subject to initial elections pursuant to Section 5 . 1 ) and prior to the end of the Election Period <br /> and shall be irrevocable for such Plan Year . However, a Participant may revoke a Benefit <br /> election or a Salary Redirection Agreement after the Plan Year has commenced and make a <br /> new election with respect to the remainder of the Plan Year, if both the revocation and the new <br /> election are on account of and consistent with a change in status and such other permitted <br /> events as determined under Article V of the Plan and consistent with the rules and regulations <br /> of the Department of the Treasury . Salary Redirection amounts shall be contributed on a <br /> pro rata basis for each pay period during the Plan Year. All individual Salary Redirection <br /> Agreements are deemed to be part of this Plan and incorporated by reference hereunder. <br /> 3 . 2 APPLICATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS <br /> As soon as reasonably practical after each payroll period , the Employer shall <br /> apply the Salary Redirection to provide the Benefits elected by the affected Participants . Any <br /> contribution made or withheld for the Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan Fund or <br /> Dependent Day Care Reimbursement Plan Account shall be credited to such fund or account . <br /> Amounts designated for the Participant' s Employer Sponsored Benefit Plan ( s ) shall likewise be <br /> credited to such account for the purpose of paying Premium Expenses . <br /> 5 <br />
