SUBSEQUENT PLAN YEARS. Except as otherwise determined by Ardent Health Services and communicated to Participants in the enrollment materials with respect to a particular Plan Year, for subsequent Plan Years, a Participant who fails to notify the Plan Administrator on or before the specified due date for any Plan Year shall be deemed to have made the election as was in effect at the end of the preceding Plan Year. The Participant shall also be deemed to have agreed to a reduction in his or her Compensation for the subsequent Plan Year in an amount equal to the Participant’s share of the cost of the Benefit Options he or she is deemed to have elected, if any, for such Plan Year.
