These premium <br />expenses include: <br /> <br />-- Health care premiums under our self-funded medical plan. <br /> <br />-- Health care premiums under privately held insurance policies. <br /> <br />The Administrator may terminate or modify Plan benefits at any time, subject to the <br />provisions of any contracts providing benefits described above. Also, your coverage will end <br />when you leave employment, are no longer eligible under the terms of any coverage, or when <br />coverage terminates. <br /> <br />Any benefits to be provided by insurance will be provided only after (1) you have <br />provided the Administrator the necessary information to apply for insurance, and (2) the <br />insurance is in effect for you. <br /> <br />"Privately held insurance policies" do not include coverage obtained through a spouse's <br />employment.

When Willi Receive Payments From My Accounts? <br /> <br />During the course of the Plan Year, you may submit requests for reimbursement of <br />expenses you have incurred. Expenses are considered "incurred" when the service is <br />performed, not necessarily when it is paid for. The Administrator will provide you with <br />acceptable forms for submitting these requests for reimbursement. If the request qualifies as a <br />benefit or expense that the Plan has agreed to pay, you will receive a reimbursement payment <br />soon thereafter. Remember, these reimbursements which are made from the Plan are generally <br />not subject to federal income tax or withholding. Nor are they subject to Social Security taxes. <br />The provisions of the insurance contracts will control what benefits will be paid and when. You <br />will only be reimbursed from the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account to the extent that <br />there are sufficient funds in the Account to cover your request. <br /> <br />2. What Happens If I Don't Spend All Plan Contributions During the Plan Year? <br /> <br />Any monies left at the end of the Plan Year will be forfeited. Obviously, qualifying <br />expenses that you incur late in the Plan Year for which you seek reimbursement after the end of <br />such Plan Year will be paid first before any amount is forfeited. However, you must make your <br />requests for reimbursement no later than 90 days after the end of the Plan Year. Because it is <br />possible that you might forfeit amounts in the Plan if you do not fully use the contributions that <br />have been made, it is important that you decide how much to place in each account carefully <br /> <br />6 <br />
