           Employee Paid
           Supplemental Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance:
           Employees who want to supplement their group life and AD&D insurance benefits may purchase this additional
           coverage. When you enroll yourself and/or your dependents in this benefit, you pay the full cost through payroll
           deductions.

           Employee: You can purchase coverage on yourself up to 5 times your salary in $10,000 increments to a
           maximum of $500,000. Elections over $200,000 will require Evidence of Insurability and are subject to Unum’s
           approval.

           Spouse: You can purchase coverage on your spouse up to 100% of the employee coverage amount in
           $5,000 increments to a maximum of $250,000. Coverage cannot exceed 100% of employee amount. Elections over
           $25,000 will require Evidence of Insurability and are subject to Unum’s approval.


           Child: You can purchase coverage on your child in $2,000 increments to a maximum of $10,000.
           Things to keep in mind when making your Supplemental Life or AD&D insurance elections:
           •  You must select coverage for yourself to elect coverage for your spouse and children.
           •  Your supplemental life and AD&D coverage elections are separate; you may elect different coverage  amounts
              for each.
           •  Any change requests to the supplemental life plans must be submitted to People Operations.
           •  Child coverage terminates at age 26.

           Benefit Reductions
           At age 70, providing you are still employed, your coverage will decrease to 65% of the benefit amount. It will
           decrease to 50% at age 75.








          Designating Your Beneficiary:
          As part of receiving this life insurance coverage, you must designate a beneficiary to receive benefits upon your
          death. Your beneficiary can be more than one person, but it is important that you keep this information up-to-
          date. Change in marital status or the death of a loved one may impact your beneficiary designation. The
          employee will automatically be designated as the beneficiary for spouse and child coverage.

          You are advised not to name a minor as your beneficiary unless a guardian has been appointed and
          named in your Last Will of Testimony or a Trust is used. Insurers generally will not make settlements directly to
          minors. Benefits payable to minors will be placed in a holding account until the state probates the estate, at
          which time proceeds will be awarded to the person whom the state appoints as the legal guardian if not
          specified in a Last Will of Testimony. You should consult with an attorney if you have questions.
