To the extent that any construction beyond the written provisions of the plan is necessary, the plan shall be construed (except as otherwise provided by the plan) according to any then-current restatement of law published or promulgated by the American Law Institute or any then-current Uniform Act or Model Act published or recommended by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. For this purpose, the Plan Administrator may rely on the text of any Uniform Act or Model Act as published in the current edition of Martindale-Hubbell Law Digest. The Plan Administrator may consider a withdrawn Uniform Act or Model Act if no successor has been promulgated. Among these sources, the Plan Administrator, in his or her sole discretion, may select any order of reference and if more than one source is relevant may decide which source it considers controlling or appropriate.
