The physician performing the physical examination, whether or not a Designated Physician, shall first file a claim for the costs of the physical examination with the Basic Group Health Plan.

determines that the amount that will be billed directly to the Company (after payment by the Basic Group Health Plan) will or may exceed this maximum amount, the Designated Physician shall notify the affected Participant in advance of the estimated amount that will not be paid by the Company and the affected Participant shall be responsible for payment of such amount directly to the Designated Physician. If the physician performing the physical examination is not a Designated Physician, any amount not reimbursed by the Basic Group Health Plan shall be paid to the Designated Physician by the Participant and submitted by the Participant to the Company for reimbursement up to the maximum annual amount.
Notwithstanding anything to the contained herein, the Designated Physician shall not release an individual Participant’s examination results to the Company or any employee of the Company. It is the intention of the Company that the physical examination benefits not be taxable to the Participant, however, this result cannot be guaranteed. If such benefits are determined by the Company to be taxable to the Participant, the Company may deduct applicable income and employment taxes from other compensation paid to the Participant and otherwise treat such amounts as additional compensation to the Participant.
ARTICLE V. ESTATE PLANNING AND INCOME TAX PREPARATION BENEFITS
     5.1 Estate Planning Benefits. The Company shall pay the cost of estate planning services provided to a Participant by an attorney or a law firm designated by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“Designated Estate Planner”).

The Designated Estate Planner shall bill the Company directly for the cost of the estate planning services and the Company shall pay the Designated Estate Planner directly for such costs. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer may specify a maximum annual amount to be paid directly by this Plan for estate planning services for any Participant and shall notify the Designated Estate Planner of such amount prior to the beginning of the Plan Year. In the absence of a specified maximum annual amount, the costs of estate planning services shall not be subject to an annual maximum. If the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has specified an annual maximum amount and the Designated Estate Planner determines that the cost for the estate planning services to be provided for that Plan Year will or may exceed this maximum amount, the Designated Estate Planner shall notify the affected Participant in advance of the estimated amount that will not be paid by the Company and the affected Participant shall be responsible for payment of such amount. No amount shall be payable by the Company for estate planning services provided to a Participant other than by a Designated Estate Planner.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Designated Estate Planner shall not release to the Company any specific information regarding an individual Participant’s estate plan to the Company or any employee of the Company. It is the Company’s expectation that, in accordance with IRS rules, estate planning benefits provided under the Plan will be taxable compensation to the Participants. To the extent that such benefits are determined by the Company to be taxable to the Participant, the Company may deduct applicable income and employment taxes from other compensation paid to the Participant and otherwise treat such amounts as additional compensation to the Participant.

The Company shall pay for each Participant each Plan Year the cost of estate planning services provided by an attorney or a law firm designated by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“Designated Estate Planner”). The Designated Estate Planner shall bill the Company directly for the cost of the estate planning services and the Company shall pay the Designated Estate Planner directly for such costs. The Company shall pay a maximum amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) to be paid directly by this Plan for a Participant’s initial estate planning services and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall notify the Designated Estate Planner of such amount prior to the beginning of the Plan Year. Such initial estate planning services shall be provided only once during the Participant’s period of service with the Company. In the event the Participant terminates employment with the Company and is subsequently re-hired by the Company, the Participant shall not be eligible for additional initial estate planning services. The Company shall pay a maximum annual amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) to be paid directly by this Plan for subsequent annual estate planning services and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall notify the Designated Estate Planner of such amount prior to the beginning of the Plan Year. If the Designated Estate Planner determines that the cost to be billed directly to the Company will or may exceed this maximum amount, the Designated Estate Planner shall notify the affected Participant in advance of the estimated amount that will not be paid by the Company and the affected Participant shall be responsible for payment of such amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Designated Estate Planner shall not release to the Company any specific information regarding an individual Participant’s estate plan to the Company or any employee of the Company.
