The enrollment form must be submitted during an enrollment period described in Section 3.4 below. A Participant's enrollment form shall not be effective before the date such form is submitted to the Administrator. An Eligible Employee may not enroll in a benefit unless he meets the eligibility requirements applicable to that benefit. 3.3 TERMINATION OF ENROLLMENT. A Participant who enrolls in any of the Pre-Tax Benefits must maintain that coverage in effect until the end of the Participation Year, except that any enrollment form submitted by a Participant in accordance with this Article III shall remain in effect until the earlier of: (A) The date the Participant terminates participation in all of the benefits provided under the Plan; (B) The effective date (as determined by the Administrator) of a subsequently filed enrollment form as provided in Section 3.4; or (C) The date the Plan no longer offers any benefits. 3.4 ENROLLMENT PERIODS. (A) INITIAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD. An Eligible Employee shall have an initial enrollment period that begins on the first day he becomes an Employee. An Eligible Employee's initial enrollment period ends on the first day of the month after the date (or on the date) the Eligible Employee completes 90 consecutive days of employment as an Eligible Employee. Enrollment forms submitted during an initial enrollment period are effective as of the last day of the initial enrollment period. (B) FAILURE TO ENROLL - INITIAL ENROLLMENT. An Eligible Employee who fails to return a completed enrollment form to the Administrator on or before the specified due date for his initial enrollment period shall be deemed to have elected for the remainder of the Participation Year to receive the same benefits (if any) as the Eligible Employee received from 6 the Employer during the preceding Participation Year. Thus, a newly hired Employee who fails to return a completed enrollment form before the end of his initial enrollment period will be deemed to have elected not to participate in the Plan and shall receive no benefits under the Plan for the remainder of the Participation Year. Likewise, an Employee who, prior to his initial enrollment period, received none of the benefits offered under the Plan and who fails to return a completed enrollment form before the end of his initial enrollment period will be deemed to have elected not to participate in the Plan and shall receive no benefits under the Plan for the remainder of the Participation Year. (C) ANNUAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD. Each Eligible Employee shall have an annual enrollment period during which to make elections for each Participation Year. The Administrator will designate an annual enrollment period for each Participation Year before the first day of that Participation Year. The annual enrollment period for any Participation Year shall terminate on the date specified by the Administrator, but not later than the last day of the immediately preceding Participation Year. Enrollment forms submitted during an annual enrollment period shall be effective on the first day of the next Participation Year. (D) FAILURE TO ENROLL - ANNUAL ENROLLMENT. An Eligible Employee failing to return a completed enrollment form to the Administrator on or before the specified due date for an annual enrollment period for any subsequent Participation Year shall be deemed to have made the same benefit choices (if any) as were in effect just before the end of the preceding Participation Year. A Participant shall also be deemed to have authorized the Administrator to withhold from his compensation an amount of Flexible Pay or other compensation equal to his Premiums for the benefits chosen. (E) SPECIAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD. If a Participant incurs a special enrollment event as defined below, then with respect to the Health Plan only, the Participant will have a special enrollment period that begins on the date of the special enrollment event and ends 30 days later. Enrollment forms submitted during a special enrollment period shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or immediately following the date the special enrollment form is submitted; except that in the case of a Dependent's birth, such form shall be effective as of the date of the birth; and in the case of a Dependent's adoption or placement for adoption, such form shall be effective as of the date of such adoption or placement for adoption. 7 (1) SPECIAL ENROLLMENT EVENT: LOSING OTHER COVERAGE. An Eligible Employee who is not enrolled in the Health Plan (or a Dependent of such an Eligible Employee if the Dependent is eligible but not enrolled in the Health Plan) may enroll in the Health Plan if the following conditions are met: (I) The Eligible Employee or Dependent was covered under a group health plan or had health insurance coverage at the time coverage was previously offered to the Eligible Employee or Dependent. (II) The Eligible Employee or Dependent stated in writing at the time coverage was previously offered to the Eligible Employee or Dependent that coverage under a group health plan or health insurance coverage was the reason the Eligible Employee declined enrollment. (III) The Eligible Employee's or Dependent's coverage described in paragraph (i): (A) Was under a COBRA continuation provision and the coverage under such provision was exhausted; or (B) Was not under such a provision and either the coverage was terminated as a result of loss of eligibility for coverage (including as a result of legal separation, divorce, death, termination of employment, or reduction in the number of hours of employment), or contributions toward such coverage were terminated by the sponsor (reasons that are not acceptable are failure to pay on a timely basis or termination of other coverage for cause (such as making a fraudulent claim or an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact in connection with said plan)). (2) SPECIAL ENROLLMENT EVENT: NEW DEPENDENTS. If an individual becomes a Dependent of an Eligible 8 Employee through marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, the Dependent (or, if the Eligible Employee is not otherwise enrolled, the Eligible Employee) may be enrolled in the Health Plan as a Dependent and/or Eligible Employee. In the case of the birth or adoption of a child, the spouse of the Eligible Employee may be enrolled as a Dependent of the Eligible Employee if the spouse is otherwise eligible for coverage. (3) EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE. Enrollment forms submitted during a special enrollment period shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or immediately following the date the special enrollment form is submitted except that: (I) In the case of marriage, coverage will be effective as of the date the completed request is received; (II) In the case of a Dependent's birth, coverage will be effective as of the date of the birth; and (III) In the case of a Dependent's adoption or placement for adoption, coverage will be effective as of the date of such adoption or placement for adoption. (F) CHANGE IN STATUS ENROLLMENT PERIOD. If a Participant incurs a Change in Status, and the consistency rules in Section 3.4(g) have been met, such Participant shall have a Change in Status enrollment period that begins on the date of such event and terminates 30 days following such event. If the Change in Status event results in the individual gaining or losing coverage under a spouse's or a Dependent's employer's plan, then the 30-day Change in Status enrollment period will not begin until the date the individual gains or loses such other coverage. Enrollment forms submitted during a Change in Status enrollment period shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or immediately following the date the Change in Status enrollment form is submitted. (G) CONSISTENCY RULES FOR CHANGE IN STATUS. The enrollment change under Section 3.4(f) must be on account of and correspond with the Change in Status that affects eligibility for coverage. A Change in 9 Status that affects eligibility for coverage also includes a Change in Status that results in an increase or decrease in the number of an Eligible Employee's family members or Dependents who may benefit from coverage. (1) CONSISTENCY RULE - ACCIDENT OR HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE - ENROLLMENT CHANGE ONLY FOR AFFECTED DEPENDENT. If the Change in Status is the Eligible Employee's divorce, annulment, or legal separation from a spouse, death of a spouse or Dependent, or a Dependent ceasing to satisfy the eligibility requirements for coverage, an Eligible Employee's election under the Plan to cancel accident or health insurance coverage (as that term is used in Treas. Reg. ss. 125-4(c)(3)(iii)) for any individual other than the spouse involved in the divorce, annulment, or separation; the deceased spouse or Dependent; or the Dependent that ceased to satisfy the eligibility requirement for coverage shall not satisfy the consistency rules. (2) GAINING ELIGIBILITY UNDER FAMILY MEMBER'S PLAN. If an Eligible Employee, spouse, or Dependent gains eligibility for coverage under a family member's plan as a result of a change in marital status or a change in employment status, an Eligible Employee's election under the Plan to cease or decrease coverage for that individual under the Plan shall not satisfy the consistency rules unless the coverage for that individual becomes applicable or is increased under the family member's plan. (3) COBRA CONTINUATION COVERAGE. If the Eligible Employee, spouse, or Dependent becomes eligible for continuation coverage under the Health Plan as provided in Code Section 4980B or any similar state law, the Participant may choose to increase payments under the Plan to pay for the continuation coverage. (H) CHANGE IN ENROLLMENT - JUDGMENT, DECREE, OR ORDER. This Section 3.4(h) applies in the case of a judgment, decree, or order resulting from a divorce, legal separation, annulment, or change in legal custody that meets the requirements of a qualified medical child support order ("QMCSO") as defined in ERISA Section 609 that requires health coverage for an Eligible Employee's child or for a foster child who is a Dependent of the Eligible Employee. The Eligible Employee may: 10 (1) Change his enrollment to provide coverage for the child if the QMCSO required coverage for the child under the Health Plan; or (2) Make a change to cancel coverage for the child if the QMCSO required the spouse, former spouse, or other individual to provide coverage for the child, and such coverage is provided for the child pursuant to the QMCSO. An Eligible Employee must make any enrollment change pursuant to this Section 3.4(h) within 31 days after the order is approved by the plan to which the order applies. (I) MEDICARE, MEDICAID, OR OTHER COVERAGE SPONSORED BY A GOVERNMENTAL OR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. (1) GAINING COVERAGE UNDER MEDICARE OR MEDICAID. If an Eligible Employee, spouse, or Dependent is enrolled in the Health Plan and becomes enrolled under Part A or Part B of Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (Medicare) or Title XIX of the Social Security Act (Medicaid), other than coverage consisting solely of benefits under Section 1928 of the Social Security Act (the program for distribution of pediatric vaccines), the Eligible Employee may make a prospective enrollment change to cancel or reduce coverage under the Health Plan for that Eligible Employee, spouse, or Dependent. (2) LOSING MEDICARE, MEDICAID, OR OTHER COVERAGE SPONSORED BY A GOVERNMENTAL OR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. In addition, if an Eligible Employee, spouse, or Dependent who has been entitled to such coverage under Medicare, Medicaid, or other coverage sponsored by a governmental or educational institution (such as a state children's health insurance program) loses eligibility for such coverage, the Eligible Employee may make a prospective enrollment change to commence or increase coverage of that Eligible Employee, spouse, or Dependent under the Health Plan. (3) ENROLLMENT CHANGES. An Eligible Employee must make any enrollment changes pursuant to this Section 3.4(i) within 31 days after the Eligible Employee, spouse, or Dependent gains or loses coverage (as applicable) as described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above. 11 (J) CHANGE IN ENROLLMENT - FMLA LEAVE. If the Participant takes FMLA Leave, the Participant may revoke his Pre-Tax Benefit enrollments within 14 days of taking leave or before the end of the leave, whichever is earlier. The Participant also may choose to be reinstated in his enrollments under the Plan when the Participant returns from FMLA Leave. Before beginning unpaid FMLA Leave, the Participant may prepay on a pre-tax or after-tax basis the Premiums for a Pre-Tax Benefit that would be due during the FMLA Leave for coverage under the Health Benefits. However, the Participant may not prepay Premiums that would be due for a future Participation Year. Alternatively, the Participant may choose to have these Premiums deducted from any sick pay or vacation pay the Participant receives during the FMLA Leave or the Participant may make payments during unpaid FMLA Leave on an after-tax basis. 3.5 LIMITATION ON ENROLLMENT CHANGES. A Participant's right to enroll in certain benefit coverage shall be additionally limited to the extent such rights are limited in the applicable benefit or in rules adopted by the Administrator pursuant to a written procedure. Furthermore, a Participant shall not be entitled to revoke an enrollment choice after a Participation Year has commenced and to make a new enrollment choice with respect to the remainder of the Participation Year except as provided in Section 3.4. 3.6 COBRA COORDINATION. Any Participant or Dependent who is a qualified beneficiary (as defined in Code Section 4980B(g)(1) or ERISA Section 607(3)) and is actually participating in the Health Benefits on the date of qualifying event (as defined in Code Section 4980B(f)(3) or ERISA Section 603) shall have the right to choose the continuation group health coverage that is required under Code Section 4980B or ERISA Sections 601 et seq. Such continuation coverage shall be provided by the Health Benefits in the manner provided in the applicable Benefit Description. Any such qualified beneficiary actually choosing such continuation coverage will, during the period of such coverage, have the same right as Participants to change his enrollments under the Health Benefits. ARTICLE IV CONTRIBUTIONS 4.1 CONTRIBUTIONS WITHHELD. Each Participant shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrator to withhold from his compensation for the Participation Year an amount of Flexible Pay or other compensation equal to his Premiums for the benefits elected for such Participation Year. 12 (A) EQUAL INSTALLMENTS. Any amounts that are withheld from a Participant's compensation pursuant to this Section shall be withheld in approximately equal installments during the Participation Year as the Administrator designates. (B) COMPENSATION PAYABLE OVER LESS THAN ONE YEAR. For an Eligible Employee whose compensation during the year is payable to him over a period of time less than a year, Flexible Pay amounts will be withheld in approximately equal installments over such period. (C) PARTICIPATION DURING PARTICIPATION YEAR. If an Eligible Employee becomes a Participant after the beginning of the first pay period of the Participation Year, the amount withheld from his compensation during such year shall be a pro rata share of the amount that would have been withheld had he been a Participant in the Plan as of the beginning of the Participation Year. 4.2 CARRYOVER PROHIBITED. In no event may an Eligible Employee carry over unused Flexible Pay from one Participation Year to the next. An Eligible Employee may not use contributions for one Participation Year to purchase Pre-Tax Benefits that will be provided in a subsequent Participation Year. 4.3 ENROLLMENT. An Eligible Employee's enrollment under Section 4.1 to authorize withholding of Flexible Pay shall be made on an enrollment form submitted in accordance with Section 3.2. 4.4 PREMIUM REBATES AND POLICY DIVIDENDS. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay to Participants reasonable premium rebates and policy dividends with respect to benefits provided under the Plan. Any such rebates or dividends must be paid before the close of the 12-month period immediately following the year to which such rebate and dividend relates. 4.5 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN DEPENDENT STATUS. If a Participant makes an enrollment change during the Participation Year pursuant to Section 3.4, then in accordance with written rules adopted by the Administrator, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the amount withheld from or added to the Participant's pay for the balance of the Participation Year to reflect any changes in the Participant's enrollments under the Plan. 4.6 CASH BENEFIT. Any Flexible Pay not expended to purchase Pre-Tax Benefits shall be considered a cash benefit under the Plan payable to the Participant. 13 4.7 COST CHANGES. (A) AUTOMATIC CHANGES. If the cost of a benefit under the Plan increases or decreases during the Participation Year, a corresponding change will automatically be made in the Participants' Premiums under the Plan. (B) SIGNIFICANT COST INCREASES/DECREASES. If the Administrator determines that the cost of a Pre-Tax Benefit or of a benefit package option significantly increases or decreases during a Participation Year, the Administrator may permit Participants either to make a corresponding prospective increase in their Premiums or to revoke their enrollment choice and, in lieu thereof, to receive on a prospective basis coverage under another Pre-Tax Benefit or benefit package option providing similar coverage. If another Pre-Tax Benefit or benefit package option does not provide similar coverage, the Administrator may permit Participants to cancel coverage. If there is a significant decrease in the cost of a Pre-Tax Benefit or benefit package option, all Eligible Employees shall be given the right to enroll in the Plan at that time, regardless of whether they have declined enrollment in the past. 4.8 COVERAGE CHANGES. (A) SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT/CURTAILMENT. If the coverage under a Pre-Tax Benefit or benefit package option is significantly improved or curtailed or if a new benefit package option is offered during a Participation Year, the Administrator may permit affected Participants to revoke such Pre-Tax Benefit enrollment choice under the Plan. In that case, each affected Participant must make a new enrollment on a prospective basis for coverage under another Pre-Tax Benefit or benefit package option providing similar coverage. Coverage under the Health Plan is significantly curtailed only if there is an overall reduction in coverage provided to Participants under the Health Plan so as to constitute reduced coverage to Participants generally. If the coverage under a Pre-Tax Benefit or benefit package option is significantly curtailed resulting in a loss of coverage, the Administrator may permit Participants to cancel coverage. A loss of coverage shall mean a complete loss of coverage under the Pre-Tax Benefit or benefit package option, such as a health maintenance organization ceasing to be available in the area where the Participant, his spouse, or Dependent reside; losing all coverage by reason of an overall lifetime or annual limitation; a substantial decrease in medical care providers; a reduction in the benefits for a specific type of medical condition or treatment with respect to which the Participant, the Participant's spouse, or Dependent 14 is currently in a course of treatment; or any other similar fundamental loss of coverage as determined by the Administrator. (B) ADDITION OR ELIMINATION OF BENEFIT PACKAGE OPTION PROVIDING SIMILAR COVERAGE. If during a Participation Year, the Plan adds a new Pre-Tax Benefit or if a benefit package option or other coverage option is added to an existing Pre- Tax Benefit (or if an existing benefit package option or other coverage option is eliminated from an existing Pre-Tax Benefit or a Pre-Tax Benefit is eliminated from the Plan), the Administrator may permit affected Participants to choose the newly added option or Pre-Tax Benefit (or choose another option or Pre-Tax Benefit if an option or Pre-Tax Benefit has been eliminated) prospectively on a pre-tax basis and make corresponding enrollment changes with respect to the other benefit package options providing similar coverage. (C) CHANGE IN COVERAGE UNDER OTHER EMPLOYER'S PLAN. A Participant may make a prospective enrollment change that is on account of and corresponds with a change made under another employer's plan if: (1) ELECTIVE CHANGE UNDER OTHER PLAN. A cafeteria plan or qualified benefits plan permits an election change that would be permitted under the cafeteria plan regulations; or (2) DIFFERENT PERIODS OF COVERAGE. The Participation Year under the Plan is different from the period of coverage under the cafeteria plan or qualified benefits plan. ARTICLE V ADMINISTRATION 5.1 ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITY. The following persons shall have only those powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations specifically given or delegated to them under the Plan. (A) Landair shall have the sole authority to appoint and remove the Administrator, and to amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. 15 (B) The Administrator shall have the sole responsibility for administering the Plan, which responsibility is specifically described herein. 5.2 ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator which may appoint or employ persons to assist in administering the Plan and may appoint or employ any other agents it deems advisable, including legal counsel, actuaries, auditors, bookkeepers, and recordkeepers to serve at the Administrator's direction. 5.3 EXPENSES. All usual and reasonable expenses of the Plan and the Administrator may be paid by the Employer, but the Employer shall not be obligated to do so. 5.4 DENIAL OF CLAIMS. The Administrator, or a party designated by the Administrator, shall make all determinations as to the right of any person to payment or reimbursement under the Plan. If an assertion of any such right by a Participant or Dependent is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator, or the designated party, will provide such claimant written notice within 90 days after receipt of the claim, unless circumstances warrant an extension of time not to exceed an additional 90 days, setting forth: (A) The specific reason or reasons for such denial; (B) Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (C) A description of any additional material or information the claimant must submit to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (D) A description of the Plan's claims review procedure. The review procedure is available on written request by the claimant to the Administrator, or the designated party, within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim. 5.5 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE. (A) REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION. Any Participant, former Participant, or beneficiary of either, who has been denied a benefit by a decision of the Administrator pursuant to Section 5.4 is entitled to request that the Administrator give further consideration to his claim by filing with the Administrator a written request for a review of the denial of his claims. The claimant shall file with the Administrator such 16 request, together with a written statement of the reasons why the claimant believes his claim should be allowed, no later than 60 days after the claimant receives the written notification provided for in Section 5.4. As a condition of coverage and of receiving benefits under the Plan, each Participant or beneficiary agrees that requests for review received by the Administrator more than 60 calendar days after the date of receipt of the claim denial will not be considered. No legal recourse will be available after this period.
