                                           Medicare Part D Creditable Coverage Notice

        Important Notice from Sungevity About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare

        Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription
        drug coverage with Sungevity and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help
        you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your
        current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare
        prescription drug coverage in your area.  Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription
        drug coverage is at the end of this notice.

        There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:
        1.     Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare.  You can get this coverage
               if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers
               prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare.
               Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.

        2.     Sungevity has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Sungevity’s Health and Welfare Benefit
               plan is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug
               coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage.  Because your existing coverage is Creditable
               Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare
               drug plan.

        You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15  to December 7 .
