Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the initial denial notification, and must set forth the facts upon which the appeal is based.

claimant of written notification of denial of the claim (or within 60 days after a deemed denial of the claim), the Plan Administrator's
determination shall become final and conclusive.
(d) If the Participant appeals the Plan Administrator's denial of benefits in a timely fashion, the Plan Administrator shall re-

addressed on appeal.
(e) The Plan Administrator shall advise the Participant and such individual's representative of its decision, which shall be written
in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and include specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the
decision is based. Such response shall be made within 60 days of receipt of the written appeal, unless special circumstances require an
extension of such 60-day period for not more than an additional 60 days. Where such extension is necessary, the claimant shall be
given written notice of the delay.
