BENEFITS





         Voluntary Benefits


         You may purchase additional insurance from Trustmark that will help to cover additional out-of-pocket expenses. These policies
         offer direct-to-the-policyholder cash payouts to help cover what other insurance doesn’t. The policies available include; Accident,
         Critical Illness, and Universal Life insurance. Your premiums are paid through payroll deductions on an after-tax basis. These
         Trustmark policies are portable, which means that you can keep them should you change jobs or retire, with no increase in
         premiums.

         Trustmark | Accident Insurance
         Group Accident insurance pays benefits to help you cover the unexpected costs associated with a covered accident. Benefits are
         flat dollar payments by incident (not based on medical expenses incurred) that you can use to reimburse you for any out-of-pocket
         costs associated with your accident. There is also a $50 annual wellness benefit payable for completing certain screenings. You are
         not required to answer health questions, and there are no pre-existing condition limitations. This plan is available to you, your
         spouse and dependent children.

         Trustmark | Critical Illness Insurance
         Trustmark’s Critical Illness insurance, Critical HealthEvents, can help you protect yourself and your family from the unexpected cost
         of fighting a life-threatening illness. You’ll receive a lump-sum cash payment upon the diagnosis of a covered condition such as a
         heart attack, stroke, cancer or end-stage renal failure. There is also a $50 annual wellness benefit payable for completing certain
         screenings.  Benefits are paid for early detection as well as for later-stage diagnosis. This plan replenishes your annual coverage
         amount, allowing you to remain covered for new or reoccurring condition(s). Depending on the diagnosis, your benefit payment
         will be either 100%, 50%, or 10% of your selected benefit amount. Coverage is available from $10,000-$50,000 for employees, 50%
         of employee election for spouse, and 10% of election for child(ren). Guarantee issue is offered at initial eligibility.

         Trustmark | Universal Life Insurance
         Universal Life insurance provides lifelong protection to your loved ones in case of your death. This plan includes a long-term care
         benefit that is funded through life insurance. Premium rates are determined by your age at time of enrollment, so the plan remains
         affordable vs. term policies that become cost-prohibitive as you age. Employee and spouse coverage is available up to $300,000,
         and child/grandchild coverage is also available. Guarantee issue is offered at initial eligibility.


         Two plan options are available:
