Basic Life and AD&D Insurance

         Life insurance protects your family or other beneficiaries in the event of your death while you are still actively employed with the
         company. Stage 1 Financial pays for coverage, offered through United Healthcare, in the amount of $25,000. If your death is due to
         a covered accident or injury, your beneficiary will receive an additional amount through Accidental Death and Dismemberment
         (AD&D) coverage.


         Voluntary Life and AD&D Insurance

         In addition to the company provided Basic Life and AD&D benefits, you may elect to purchase Voluntary Term Life and AD&D
         insurance at group rates provided by United Healthcare. You pay for this coverage with after-tax dollars through convenient payroll
         deductions.

         (New hires only)


         Guarantee issue is a pre-approved amount of coverage that does not require you to provide proof of good health, and is available
         to  you  during  your  initial  eligibility  period  (upon  hire).  Proof  of  good  health  must  be  provided  to,  and  approved  by,  United
         Healthcare for amounts in excess of guaranteed issue amount or for amounts selected after initial eligibility. To provide proof of
         good health, you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are subject to
         insurance carrier approval. The insurance company may approve or decline coverage based on a review of your health history.

         Note
         Consider updating your beneficiary designation if you have experienced a life change event such as marriage, divorce, the birth of
         children, etc.  Login to Ease to update beneficiary information as needed.





         Voluntary Long Term Disability Insurance

         Stage 1 Financial offers you Long-Term Disability (LTD) income replacement if you are disabled for an extended period of time,
         through United Healthcare.  If you become totally and permanently disabled, benefits begin 90 days after the start of your illness or
         injury.  Long  Term  Disability  works  with  California  State  Disability,  Social  Security,  and  any  other  group  disability  coverage,  to
         provide you with a combined monthly benefit equal to 60% of your pre-disability earnings to a maximum of $5,000 per month.  You
         pay for this coverage with after-tax dollars through convenient payroll deductions.  Because the benefit is paid for with after tax
         dollars when you receive the benefit (in the event of a disability) it is not taxable.

         If you do not enroll within 31 days of your first day of eligibility, you will be considered a “late entrant.”  Late entrants must show
         evidence of insurability and may be responsible for the cost of physical exams or other associated costs if they are required.
