Administrative Policy Regarding the Claims Procedure
In accordance with Section 8.9 of the Pacific Capital Bancorp Amended and Restated Incentive and Investment and Salary Savings Plan (the “Plan”), Pacific Capital Bancorp (the “Sponsoring Employer”) hereby implements the rules and procedures set forth below to govern claims for benefit under the Plan. The procedures set forth in the policy here are the sole and exclusive remedy for an Employee, Participant or Beneficiary (“Claimant”) to make a claim for benefits, and these procedures will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of ERISA §503 and the regulations thereunder. All claims determinations that are made by the Administrator, the Appropriate Named Fiduciary, and/or the Committee (if one has been appointed under Section 8.3 of the Plan) will be made in accordance with this procedure and will be applied consistently to similarly situated Claimants. The terms used in this procedure will have the same meaning ascribed to those terms in the Plan.
Definitions
In applying the terms of this Policy, any terms used herein which are also used in the Plan will have the same meaning ascribed to them under this Policy as ascribed to them under the terms of the Plan except as may otherwise be provided in this Policy. In addition, the following terms specific to this Policy will have the following meanings:
Appropriate Named Fiduciary. For purposes of this Policy, the term “Appropriate Named Fiduciary” means (a) if a Committee has been appointed by the Sponsoring Employer under Section 8.3 of the Plan, the Committee; or (b) if a Committee has not been appointed pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Plan, the Administrator (and if a Committee has not been appointed, any reference to Committee will be considered a reference to the Administrator).
Initial Determination of a Claim
A Claimant (or the Claimant’s authorized representative) may file a claim for a Plan benefit to which the Claimant believes he or she is entitled. Claims must be filed in writing with the Administrator. The Administrator, in its sole and complete discretion, will make all initial determinations as to the right of any person to benefits. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Administrator will send the Claimant a written or electronic notice (which electronic notice must comply with the standards imposed by Department of Labor Regulation §2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i), (iii), and (iv)) informing the Claimant of the denial. The notice of denial will be given as provided in the next section below.
Notice of a Claim Denial
The written or electronic notice of the denial will be given within a reasonable period of time (but no later than 90 days) from the date the Administrator receives the written claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In no event may the extension exceed 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period. If an extension is necessary, the Administrator will send the Claimant a written notice prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day period in which the Administrator indicates the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a decision. The notice must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and must contain the following information: (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) reference to the specific plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (d) a description of the Plan’s review (i.e., appeal) procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA §502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review.
Appealing the Denial of a Claim
If the Administrator denies a claim in whole or in part, the Claimant may elect to appeal the denial. If the Claimant does not appeal the denial pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Policy, the denial will be final, binding and unappealable. Appeals will be filed in accordance with, and will be determined subject to, the following provisions:
(a) | When the Appeal Must Be Filed. The written request for appeal must be filed by the Claimant (or by the Claimant’s authorized representative) with the Appropriate Named Fiduciary within 60 days after the date on which the Claimant receives the Administrator’s notice of denial. |
(b) | Review of the Claim Following an Appeal. If a request for an appeal is timely filed, the Appropriate Named Fiduciary will conduct a full and fair review of the claim and the denial. As part of this review, the Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim, and the review will take into account all such comments, documents, records, or other information submitted by the Claimant, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the Administrator’s initial benefit determination. The Claimant also may obtain, free of charge and upon request, records and other information relevant to the claim, without regard to whether such information was relied upon by the Administrator in making the initial benefit determination. As a result of this review, the Appropriate Named Fiduciary will, in its sole and complete discretion, determine whether to uphold all or part of the initial claim denial. |
Page -1-
(c) | Notice of Denial of the Claim. If the Appropriate Named Fiduciary determines pursuant the review under paragraph (b) above that all or part of the initial denial should be upheld, the Administrator will send the Claimant a written or electronic notice informing the Claimant of its decision to uphold all or part of the initial denial. The notice of denial must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and must contain (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) a specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents and other information relevant to the claim; and (d) an explanation of the Claimant’s right to request arbitration and the applicable time limits for doing so. |
(d) | When the Notice Must Be Given. If the Administrator is serving as the Appropriate Named Fiduciary, the notice will be given within a reasonable period of time (but no later than 60 days) after the date the Appropriate Named Fiduciary receives the request for appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for reviewing the claim. In no event may the extension exceed 60 days from the end of the initial 60-day period. If an extension is necessary, prior to the expiration of the initial 60-day period, the Administrator will send the Claimant a written notice, indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Appropriate Named Fiduciary expects to render a decision. However, if the Committee is serving as the Appropriate Named Fiduciary and the Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings on a quarterly or more frequent basis, notice will be given at the next regularly scheduled meeting if the Committee receives the written request for appeal more than 30 days prior to its next regularly scheduled meeting, or at the regularly scheduled meeting immediately following the next regularly scheduled meeting if the Committee receives the written request for appeal within 30 days of the next regularly scheduled meeting. If special circumstances require an extension, the decision may be postponed to the third regularly scheduled meeting following the Committee’s receipt of the written request for appeal if, prior to the expiration of the initial time period for review, the Claimant is provided with written notice indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Committee expects to render a decision. If the extension is required because the Claimant has not provided information that is necessary to decide the claim, the Committee may suspend the review period from the date on which notice of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date the Claimant responds to the request for additional information. The Committee must notify the Claimant of its decision as soon as possible, but not later than 5 days after the decision is made. |
Voluntary Arbitration
If (a) a Claimant wishes to contest a final decision of the Appropriate Named Fiduciary, and (b) the Claimant voluntarily chooses not to bring a civil action under ERISA §502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on appeal, then the Claimant and the Appropriate Named Fiduciary may agree to arbitration. If a Claimant agrees to arbitration, then a written request for arbitration must be filed by the Claimant (or the Claimant’s authorized representative) with the Administrator within 60 days (or such additional time as the Administrator may deem appropriate) after the date the Claimant receives the written decision of the Appropriate Named Fiduciary. The Claimant and the Administrator will each name an arbitrator within 20 days after the Administrator receives the Claimant’s written request for arbitration. The two arbitrators will jointly name a third arbitrator within 15 days after their appointment. If either party fails to select an arbitrator within the 20 day period, or if the two arbitrators fail to select a third arbitrator within 15 days after their appointment, then the Administrator will determine that either (a) the arbitration will cease, or (b) the presiding judge of the county court (or its equivalent) in the county in which the principal office of the Sponsoring Employer is located will appoint the other arbitrator or arbitrators. The arbitrators will render a decision within 60 days after the appointment of the third arbitrator and will conduct all proceedings pursuant to the laws of the state in which the Sponsoring Employer’s principal place of business is located and the then current Rules of the American Arbitration Association governing commercial transactions, to the extent such rules are not inconsistent with applicable state law. The cost of arbitration will be borne by the losing party or, if the decision is not clearly in favor of one party or the other, in the manner determined by the arbitrators. Pursuant to the Claimant’s voluntary choice to pursue arbitration, the arbitrators’ decision will be final, binding and unappealable.

Pacific Capital Bancorp Amended and Restated Incentive and Investment and Salary Savings
Plan
Administrative Policy Regarding Financial Hardship Distributions
In accordance with Section 5.16 of the Basic Plan Document of the Pacific Capital Bancorp Amended and Restated Incentive and Investment and Salary Savings Plan (the “Plan”), Pacific Capital Bancorp (the “Sponsoring Employer”) hereby implements the rules and procedures set forth below to govern financial hardship distributions. The terms used in this administrative policy will have the same meaning ascribed to those terms in the Plan (or in some cases, in the summary plan description).
AMOUNT AND FORM OF DISTRIBUTION
A Participant who is still an Employee can take a distribution from the Plan because of financial hardship. The amount distributable cannot exceed the amount required to relieve the hardship, including amounts needed to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. A hardship distribution will only be made in one lump sum payment. Hardship distributions can be made from the following accounts in which the Participant has a 100% Vested Interest:
• | From up to 100% of the Participant’s 401(k) Contributions |
DEFINITION OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP
Financial hardship means an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant which he or she lacks available resources to satisfy. The following financial needs will be considered immediate and heavy:
• | Expenses for (or expenses necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under Internal Revenue Code §213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income) |
• | Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant |
• | Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, and the Participant’s spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Code §152, and without regard to Code §152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)) |
• | Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant’s principal residence or the foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence |
• | Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code §152, and without regard to Code §152(d)(1)(B)) |
• | Expenses for repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code §165 (without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income) |
SAFE HARBOR DEEMED DISTRIBUTIONS
Any hardship distribution will be deemed to be necessary to satisfy a financial hardship if the Participant has obtained all distributions (other than financial hardship distributions) and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Employer. Furthermore, the Participant cannot make elective deferrals or after-tax contributions to this Plan or any other plan maintained by the Employer for at least 6 months after receipt of the hardship distribution.
Hardship distributions made pursuant to this policy are intended to satisfy the safe harbor provisions under IRS Reg.§ 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(iv)(E) [deemed immediate and heavy financial need] and 1.401(10-1(d)(3)(A)(E) [deemed necessary to satisfy immediate need].
