Section 2.2 Construction. To the extent the definitions ascribed to the terms in Section 2.1 are different from the definitions ascribed to the same or similar terms in any other employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company, the definitions in Section 2.1 shall govern and control for purposes of administering this Plan only and shall not affect or modify or otherwise be used for the administration of any such other employee benefit plan. Whenever used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, a pronoun in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and the singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular. The conjunction “or” shall include both the conjunctive and disjunctive, and the adjective “any” shall mean one or more or all. Article, section and paragraph headings in the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. A reference to a “Section” or an “Article” means a Section or Article of the Plan and not of another source unless another source is specified or clearly indicated. Any reference in the Plan to the masculine gender is for convenience of expression only and includes the feminine gender unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
