out-of-network expenses after a $9,000 individual and $18,000 family deductible.

                       There is an annual $6,350 individual and $12,700 family out-of-pocket limit for in-network
                       covered services and an annual $12,700 individual and $25,400 family out-of-pocket limit
                       for out-of-network covered services.  When you or your family members reach the
                       applicable out-of-pocket limit, the program begins to pay 100% of all coinsurance for
                       covered expenses (except applicable copayments), including prescription drug copayments
                       (described below).

                       In addition, there is an annual $6,350 individual and $12,700 family total maximum out-
                       of-pocket for in-network covered services.  The total maximum out-of-pocket (“TMOOP”)
                       is the most you and your family members pay for in-network covered services during the
                       policy year.  Once you or any of your covered family members reach the individual
                       TMOOP limit, the program begins to pay 100% of all in-network covered expenses
                       incurred  for the remainder of the year (including covered prescription drug expenses
                       described below), and no additional coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles will be
                       incurred, even if the family TMOOP limit has not been met.  Once the family TMOOP
                       limit is reached, the program will pay 100% of all in-network covered expenses for you
                       and all of your covered family members, no matter how much each individual has
                       accumulated in TMOOP expenses. The TMOOP does not include amounts in excess of the
                       plan allowance, and there is no TMOOP for out-of-network benefits.

                       The program  also includes a prescription drug benefit that covers certain prescriptions
                       filled at in-network pharmacies.  Prescriptions filled at an out-of-network pharmacy are not
                       covered. After satisfying the annual in-network deductible described above, the program
                       covers 70% of the cost of covered prescription drugs. You will have an option to purchase
                       prescription drugs at a retail pharmacy or via mail order. Covered preventive drugs are
                       covered at 100%, and the deductible does not apply.  Please refer to the benefits booklet
                       for more information.

                   •  Grandfathered PPO Option – 100/80 PPO

                       This program generally provides 100% payment of reasonable and customary physician
                       and hospital costs for in-network covered expenses with no annual deductible and $15
                       copayments for certain services. The program also provides 80% payment of all reasonable
                       and customary physician and hospital costs for out-of-network expenses after satisfaction
                       of a $500 individual and $1,000 family deductible.

                       There is an annual $1,000 individual and $2,000 family out-of-pocket limit for out-of-
                       network covered services. The out-of-pocket limit, under this benefit option, refers to the
                       specified dollar amount of expenses incurred for covered services; the deductible does not
                       count toward this limit. When you or your family members reach an out-of-pocket limit,
                       the program begins to pay 100% coinsurance with the exception of applicable copayments.

                       The program also includes prescription drug  coverage, requiring the  use of network
                       pharmacies, with various copayments depending upon the type of drug (i.e., generic, brand
