Please note that the following limitations apply to the carryover: You must have a $50.00 minimum
               account balance to carryover. Any amount less than $50.00 will be forfeited 90 days after the end
               of the plan year.


               Special Rule Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021:  Any balance remaining in your
               Health Care Reimbursement Account at the end of 2020 can be rolled over to 2021, and all the
               unused funds in your Health Care Reimbursement Account at the end of 2021 can also be rolled
               over to 2022. This special unlimited carryover applies only to the balance in your Health Care
               Reimbursement Account at the end of 2020 and 2021, respectively.

               Dependent Care Assistance Account Grace Period

               In general, the unused balance in your Dependent Care Assistance Account that remains at the end
               of a Plan Year may be used for expenses that you incur during the grace period. Except as provided
               below, the grace period is the 2-1/2 month period after the end of the Plan Year.


               Your Dependent Care Assistance Account will be adjusted so that any eligible expenses will first
               be applied against any remaining account balance from the prior Plan Year before eligible expenses
               are applied against the current Plan Year's account balance. If your prior Plan Year's account
               balance is exhausted, eligible expenses incurred during the grace period will be applied against the
               current Plan Year's balance, if any.

               If you cease to be participant in the Flex Plan (because of termination of employment or other
               reason) you may continue to be reimbursed for eligible dependent care expenses through the end
               of the Plan Year (or grace period if applicable, including the special extended 12-month grace
               period as noted below).

               Special Rule Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021:  For the Plan Years ending in
               2020 and 2021, the grace period will be extended to 12 months.  This means that you have until
               December 31, 2021 to use the balance in your Dependent Care Assistance Account for 2020 Plan
               Year, and you have until December 31, 2022 to use the balance in your Dependent Care Assistance
               Account for 2021 Plan Year.

               CLAIMS


               Deadlines

               Except as provided below, you must submit claims for reimbursement within 90 days after the end
               of the Plan Year, including claims incurred during the 2-1/2 month period after the end of the Plan
               Year.  However,  if  you  terminate  employment  you  must  submit  claims  (other  than  eligible
               dependent care expenses) for reimbursement within 90 days after your date of termination.

               Special Rule Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021: Solely for the Plan Years ending
               in  2020  and  in  2021,  respectively,  you  can  submit  claims  for  reimbursement  up  to  31  days
               following the last day of the 12-month grace period. Thus, you may submit claims you incur in
               2020 until January 31, 2022 and submit claims you incur in 2021 until January 31, 2023. This
               extension of claim submission deadline also applies to you even when you terminate employment
               with the Company.
