	  	LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS UNDER THE ARKANSAS
	 	  	LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE
	 	  	GUARANTY ASSOCIATION ACT
	 	  	  
 Residents of this state who purchase life insurance, annuities, or
health and accident insurance should know that the insurance companies licensed in this state to write these types of insurance are members of the Arkansas Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (“Guaranty Association”). The
purpose of the Guaranty Association is to assure that policy and contract owners will be protected, within certain limits, in the unlikely event that a member insurer becomes financially unable to meet its obligations. If this should happen, the
Guaranty Association will assess its other member insurance companies for the money to pay the claims of policy owners who live in this state and, in some cases, to keep coverage in force. The valuable extra protection provided by the member
insurers through the Guaranty Association is not unlimited, however. And, as noted in the box below, this protection is not a substitute for consumers’ care in selecting insurance companies that are well-managed and financially
stable.

	 	  	  
 DISCLAIMER

	 	  	  
 The Arkansas Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association
(“Guaranty Association”) may not provide coverage for this policy. If coverage is provided, it may be subject to substantial limitations or exclusions, and require continued residency in the state. You should not rely on coverage by the
Guaranty Association in purchasing an insurance policy or contract.

	 	  	  
 Coverage is NOT provided for your policy or contract or any portion
of it that is not guaranteed by the insurer or for which you have assumed the risk, such as non-guaranteed amounts held in a separate account under a variable life or variable annuity contract.

	 	  	  
 Insurance companies or their agents are required by law to provide
you with this notice. However, insurance companies and their agents are prohibited by law from using the existence of the Guaranty Association to induce you to purchase any kind of insurance policy.

 The state law that provides for this safety-net is called the
Arkansas Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act (“Act”). Below is a brief summary of the Act’s coverages, exclusions and limits. This summary does not cover all provisions of the Act; nor does it in any way change
anyone’s rights or obligations under the Act or the rights or obligations of the Guaranty Association.

  

			
	 	 	COVERAGE
	 	 	  
 Generally, individuals will be protected by the Guaranty Association if
they live in this state and hold a life, annuity, or health insurance contract or policy, or if they are insured under a group insurance contract, issued by a member insurer. The beneficiaries, payees or assignees of policy or contract owners are
protected as well, even if they live in another state.

	 	 	  
 EXCLUSIONS FROM
COVERAGE

	 	 	  
 However, persons owning such policies are NOT protected by the Guaranty
Association if:

		
	 	 	 •       they are eligible for protection under the laws of another state (this may occur when the
insolvent insurer was incorporated in another state whose guaranty association protects insureds who live outside that state);

		
	 	 	 •       the insurer was not authorized to do business in this state;

		
	 	 	 •       their policy or contract was issued by a nonprofit hospital or medical service organization,
an HMO, a fraternal benefit society, a mandatory state pooling plan, a mutual assessment company or similar plan in which the policy or contract owner is subject to future assessments, or by an insurance exchange.

	 	 	  
 The Guaranty Association also does NOT provide coverage
for:

		
	 	 	 •       Any policy or contract or portion thereof which is not guaranteed by the insurer or for which
the owner has assumed the risk, such as non-guaranteed amounts held in a separate account under a variable life or variable annuity contract;

		
	 	 	 •       Any policy of reinsurance (unless an assumption certificate was issued);

		
	 	 	 •       Interest rate yields that exceed an average rate;

		
	 	 	 •       Dividends and voting rights and experience rating credits;

		
	 	 	 •       Credits given in connection with the administration of a policy by a group contract
holder;

		
	 	 	 •       Employers’ plans to the extent they are self-funded (that is, not insured by an insurance
company, even if an insurance company administers them); unallocated annuity contracts (which give rights to group contractholders, not individuals); unallocated annuity contracts issued to/in connection with benefit plans protected under Federal
Pension Benefit Corporation (“FPBC”) (whether the FPBC is yet liable or not);

		
	 	 	 •       Portions of an unallocated annuity contract not owned by a benefit plan or a government
lottery (unless the owner is a resident) or issued to a collective investment trust or similar pooled fund offered by a bank or other financial institution);

		
	 	 	 •       Portions of a policy or contract to the extent assessments required by law for the Guaranty
Association are preempted by State or Federal law;

		
	 	 	 •       Obligations that do not arise under the policy or contract, including claims based on
marketing materials or side letters, riders, or other documents which do not meet filing requirements, or claims for policy misrepresentations, or extra-contractual or penalty claims;

		
	 	 	 •       Contractual agreements establishing the member insurer’s obligations to provide book
value accounting guarantees for defined contribution benefit plan participants (by reference to a portfolio of assets owned by a nonaffiliate benefit plan or its trustees).

  

			
	 	 	 LIMITS ON AMOUNT OF COVERAGE

		
	 	 	The Act also limits the amount the Guaranty Association is obligated to cover: The Guaranty Association cannot pay more than what the insurance company would owe under a policy or contract.
Also, for any one insured life, the Guaranty Association will pay a maximum of $ 300,000—no matter how many policies and contracts there were with the same company, even if they provided different types of coverages. Within this overall $
300,000 limit, the Association will not pay more than $ 300,000 in health insurance benefits, $ 300,000 in present value of annuity benefits, or $ 300,000 in life insurance death benefits or net cash surrender values—again, no matter how many
policies and contracts there were with the same company, and no matter how many different types of coverages. There is a $ 1,000,000 limit with respect to any contract holder for unallocated annuity benefits, irrespective of the number of contracts
held by the contract holder. These are limitations for which the Guaranty Association is obligated before taking into account either its subrogation and assignment rights or the extent to which those benefits could be provided out of the assets of
the impaired or insolvent insurer.

	  	 SUMMARY OF THE LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE PROTECTION
 ASSOCIATION ACT AND NOTICE CONCERNING COVERAGE

	 	  	LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
	 	  	  
 INTRODUCTION

	 	  	  
 Residents of Colorado who purchase life insurance, annuities or
health insurance should know that the insurance companies licensed in this state to write these types of insurance are members of the Life and Health Insurance Protection Association. The purpose of this Association is to assure that policyholders
will be protected, within limits, in the unlikely event that a member insurer becomes financially unable to meet its obligations. If this should happen, the Association will assess its other member insurance companies for the money to pay the claims
of insured persons who live in Colorado and, in some cases, to keep coverage in force. The valuable extra protection provided by these insurers through the Association is limited, however. As noted in the box below, this protection is not a
substitute for consumers’ care in selecting companies that are well-managed and financially stable.

	 	  	  
 IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

	 	  	  
 The Life and Health Insurance Protection Association may not provide
coverage for this policy. If coverage is provided, it may be subject to substantial limitations or exclusions, and require residency in Colorado. You should not rely on coverage by the Life and Health Insurance Protection Association in selecting an
insurance company or in selecting an insurance policy.

	 	  	  
 Coverage is NOT provided for your policy or any portion of it that is
not guaranteed by the insurer or for which you have assumed the risk.

	 	  	  
 Insurance companies or their agents are required by law to give or
send you this notice. However, insurance companies and their agents are prohibited by law from using the existence of the Association to induce you to purchase any kind of insurance policy.

	 	  	  
 SUMMARY

	 	  	  
 The state law that provides for this safety-net coverage is called
the Life and Health Insurance Protection Association Act. Below is a brief summary of this law’s coverages, exclusions and limits. This summary does not cover all provisions of the law, nor does it in any way change anyone’s rights or
obligations under the act or the rights or obligations of the Association.

	 	  	  
 COVERAGE

	 	  	  
 Generally, individuals will be protected by the Life and Health
Protection Association if they live in this state and hold a life or health insurance contract, or annuity, or if they hold certificates under a group life or health insurance contract or annuity, issued by a member insurer. The beneficiaries,
payees, or assignees of insured persons are protected as well, even if they live in another state. Certain parties to structured settlement annuity contracts may be entitled to coverage benefits as well based on defined
circumstances.

  

			
	 	 	  
 EXCLUSIONS FROM
COVERAGE

	 	 	  
 Persons holding such policies or contracts are not protected by this
Association if:

		
	 	 	 •       they are not residents of the State of Colorado, except under certain very specific
circumstances;

		
	 	 	 •       the insurer was not authorized or licensed to do business in Colorado at the time the policy
or contract was issued;

		
	 	 	 •       their policy was issued by a nonprofit hospital or health service corporation, an HMO, a
fraternal benefit society, a mandatory state pooling plan, a mutual assessment company or similar plan in which the policyholder is subject to future assessments, or by an insurance exchange.

	 	 	  
 The Association also does not
provide coverage for:

		
	 	 	 •       any policy or portion of a policy which is not guaranteed by the insurer or for which the
individual has assumed the risk;

		
	 	 	 •       any policy of reinsurance (unless an assumption certificate was issued);

		
	 	 	 •       plans of employers, associations or similar entities to the extent they are self-funded or
uninsured (that is, not insured by an insurance company, even if an insurance company administers them);

		
	 	 	 •       interest rates yields, crediting rate yields or other factors employed in calculating returns,
including but not limited to indexes or other external references stated in the policy or contract, that exceed an average rate specified in the Association Act;

		
	 	 	 •       dividends;

		
	 	 	 •       experience rating credits;

		
	 	 	 •       credits given in connection with the administration of a policy or
contract;

		
	 	 	 •       any unallocated annuity;

		
	 	 	 •       annuity contracts or group annuity certificates used by nonprofit insurance companies to
provide retirement benefits for nonprofit educational institutions and their employees;

		
	 	 	 •       policies, contracts, certificates or subscriber agreements issued by a prepaid dental care
plan;

		
	 	 	 •       sickness and accident insurance when written by a property and casualty insurer as part of an
automobile insurance contract;

		
	 	 	 •       unallocated annuity contracts issued to an employee benefit plan protected under the federal
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation;

		
	 	 	 •       policies or contracts issued by an insurer which was insolvent or unable to fulfill its
contractual obligations as of July 1, 1991, except for annuity contracts issued by a member insurer which was placed into liquidation between July 1, 1991 and August 31, 1991;

		
	 	 	 •       policies or contracts covering persons who are not citizens of the United
States;

		
	 	 	 •       any kind of insurance or annuity, the benefits of which are exclusively payable or determined
by a separate account required by the terms of such insurance policy or annuity maintained by the insurer or by a separate entity.

  

					
	 	 	 LIMITS ON AMOUNT OF COVERAGE

	 	 	  
 The act also limits the amount the Association is obligated
to pay out. The Association cannot pay more than what the insurance company would owe under a policy or contract. Also, for any one insured life, no matter how many policies or contracts were issued by the same company, even if such contracts
provided different types of coverages, the Association will pay a maximum of:

		
	 	 	 •       $ 300,000 in net life insurance death benefits and no more than $ 100,000 in net
cash surrender and net cash withdrawal values for life insurance;

		
	 	 	 •       for health insurance benefits - $ 100,000 for coverages not defined as disability,
basic hospital, medical and surgical, or major medical insurance, including any net cash surrender and net cash withdrawal values: $ 300,000 for disability insurance; or $ 500,000 for basic hospital, medical and surgical, or major medical
insurance;

		
	 	 	 •       $ 100,000 in the present value of annuity benefits, including net cash surrender
and net cash withdrawal values; or

		
	 	 	 •       with respect to each payee of a structured settlement annuity, $ 100,000 in
present value annuity benefits in the aggregate, including net cash surrender and net cash withdrawal values.

	 	 	  
 The Association shall not be liable to expend more than $
300,000 in the aggregate, with respect to any one life except that with respect to benefits for basic hospital, medical and surgical and major medical insurance, the aggregate liability of the association shall not exceed $ 500,000 with respect to
any one individual.

	  	Complaint Notice
	 	  	  
 The Indiana legislature has passed Senate Bill 211 which
provides that persons who believe they have been adversely affected by an unfair claim settlement practice may file a complaint with the Department of Insurance. Senate Bill 211 further requires that insurers must provide a one time written notice
of the remedy to each current Indiana policyholder or non-Indiana policyholder with employees in Indiana.

	 	  	  
 Insurance Department Bulletin No. 63 provides a suggested
format for the written notice required by Senate Bill 211.

	 	  	  
 To comply with this legislation, we have prepared a
Complaint Notice of which a copy is attached. We recommend that you inform Indiana insureds of this notice in some manner either by posting the notice on a bulletin board or reproducing a supply for distribution to insureds.

	 	  	  
 If you have any questions regarding this or the attached
notice, please contact the Employee Benefits Representative who services your account or our local Employee Benefits Office.

	A	  	 SUMMARY OF MISSISSIPPI LIFE AND HEALTH
 INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION ACT
 AND NOTICE CONCERNING COVERAGE

		
	 	  	 LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
  
 Residents of this state who purchase life insurance, health insurance, or annuities should know that the insurance companies licensed in
this state to write these types of insurance are members of the Mississippi Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (the “Guaranty Association”). The purpose of the Guaranty Association is to assure that policy and contract owners
will be protected, within limits, in the unlikely event that a member insurer becomes financially unable to meet its obligations. If this should happen, the Guaranty Association will assess its other member insurance companies for the money to pay
the claims of policy owners who live in this state and, in some cases, to keep coverage in force. The valuable extra protection provided by the member insurers through the Guaranty Association is not unlimited, however. And, as noted in the box
below, this protection is not a substitute for consumers’ care in selecting insurance companies that are well-managed and financially stable.

		
	 	  	DISCLAIMER
		
	 	  	The Mississippi Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (the “Guaranty Association”) may not provide coverage for this policy. If coverage is provided, it will be subject to
substantial limitations and exclusions, and require continued residency in this state. You should not rely on coverage by the Guaranty Association when selecting an insurer.
		
	 	  	Coverage is NOT provided for your policy or contract or any portion of it that is not guaranteed by the insurer or for which you have assumed the risk, such as non-guaranteed amounts held in
a separate account under a variable life or variable annuity contract.
		
	 	  	Insurance companies or their agents are required by law to provide you with this notice. However, insurance companies and their agents are prohibited by law from using the existence of the
Guaranty Association for the purpose of sales, solicitation, or inducement to purchase any form of insurance. You may contact either the Guaranty Association or the Mississippi Insurance Department at the following addresses if you should have any
questions regarding this notice.

	 	  	The state law that provides for this safety-net coverage is called the Mississippi Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act (the “Act”). Below is a brief summary of the
Act’s coverages, exclusions and limits. This summary does not cover all provisions of the Act; nor does it in any way change anyone’s rights or obligations under the Act or the rights or obligations of the Guaranty
Association.

  

			
		
	 	 	COVERAGE
		
	 	 	Generally, individuals will be protected by the Guaranty Association if they live in this state and hold a life, or health insurance contract or policy, or an annuity contract or policy, or if
they are insured under a group insurance contract, issued by a member insurer. The beneficiaries, payees or assignees of policy or contract owners are protected as well, even if they live in another state.
		
	 	 	 EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE

		
	 	 	However, persons owning such policies are NOT protected by the Guaranty Association if:
	 	 	  
 •       they are eligible for protection under the laws of another state (this may occur when the insolvent insurer was incorporated in another state whose guaranty association protects insureds who
live outside that state);

	 	 	  
 •       the insurer was not authorized to do business in this state;

	 	 	  
 •       their policy or contract was issued by a hospital or medical service organization whether profit or nonprofit, a health maintenance organization (HMO), a fraternal benefit society, a mandatory
state pooling plan, a mutual assessment company or other person that operates on an assessment basis, an insurance exchange, or any similar entity.

		
	 	 	 The Guaranty Association also does NOT provide coverage for:

	 	 	  
 •       Any policy or contract or portion thereof which is not guaranteed by the insurer or for which the owner has assumed the risk, such as non-guaranteed amounts held in a separate account under a
variable life or variable annuity contract;
  

	 	 	 •       Any policy or contract of reinsurance, unless an assumption
certificates were issued pursuant to the reinsurance policy or contract;
  

	 	 	 •       Interest rate yields that exceed an average rate;

 

	 	 	 •       Dividends and voting rights and experience rating credits or
payment of any fees or allowances to any person in connection with this service to or administration of the policy or contract;
  

	 	 	 •       Credits given in connection with the administration of a
policy by a group contract holder;
  

	 	 	 •       Employers’ plans to the extent they are self-funded or
uninsured (that is, not insured by an insurance company, even if an insurance company administers them);
  

	 	 	 •       Unallocated annuity contracts issued to or in connection
with benefit plans protected under federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) regardless of whether the PBGC has yet become liable to make any payments with respect to the benefit plan;
  

	 	 	 •       Portions of any unallocated annuity contract not issued to
or in connection with a specific employee, union or association of natural persons benefit plan, or a government lottery;
  

	 	 	 •       Portions of a policy or contract to the extent assessments
required by law for the Guaranty Association with respect to the policy or contract are preempted by State or Federal law;
  

	 	 	 •       Obligations that do not arise under the express written
terms of the policy or contract, including claims based on marketing materials, side letters, riders or other documents that were issued by the insurer without meeting applicable policy form filing or approval requirements, or claims for policy
misrepresentations, or extra-contractual or penalty or consequential or incidental damages claims;
  

	 	 	 •       Contractual agreements establishing the member insurer’s obligations to provide book
value accounting guarantees for defined contribution benefit plan participants (by reference to a portfolio of assets owned by a nonaffiliate benefit plan or its trustees).

  

			
		
	 	 	LIMITS ON AMOUNT OF COVERAGE
		
	 	 	The Act also limits the amount the Guaranty Association is obligated to cover. The Guaranty Association cannot pay more than what the insurance company would owe under a policy or contract.
Also, with respect to any one life, regardless of the number of policies or contracts, the maximum obligation of the Guaranty Association is $ 300,000 in benefits except with respect to benefits for basic hospital, medical and surgical insurance and
major medical insurance in which case the aggregate liability of the Guaranty Association is $ 500,000. Within these overall limits, the Guaranty Association will not pay more than $ 300,000 in life insurance death benefits, $ 100,000 in net cash
surrender and net cash withdrawal values, $ 300,000 for disability insurance benefits, $ 500,000 for basic hospital, medical and surgical insurance or major medical insurance benefits, $ 100,000 in present value of annuity benefits, including net
cash surrender and net cash withdrawal values – again, no matter how many policies and contracts there were with the same company, and no matter how many different types of coverages. There is a $ 5,000,000 limit with respect to any contract
owner for unallocated annuity benefits, irrespective of the number of contracts with respect to the contract owner or plan sponsor. These are limitations for which the Guaranty Association is obligated before taking into account either its
subrogation and assignment rights or to the extent to which those benefits could be provided out of the assets of the impaired or insolvent insurer.

	 	 	All classes of employees of a Member Employer are eligible except those who are:
		
	 	 	 Part-time;

		
	 	 	 Temporary;

		
	 	 	 Substitute; or

		
	 	 	 In a class for which a Certificate is not in this policy.

		
	 	 	An employee is eligible only for the coverages shown in the Certificate which applies to his class.

	 	  	Change In Amounts
		
	Employee Coverage	  	Earnings or Status Change
	(Contributory)	  	If, at any time, the employee’s rate of earnings or status changes so as to warrant an amount of contributory coverage other than that for which the employee is then covered, the amount
of his or her coverage will be changed as follows:
		
	 	  	 A reduction will be effective:

		
	 	  	 On the date the employee requests it under Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Personal Loss Coverage.

		
	 	  	 On the date of the earnings or status change under all other coverages.

		
	 	  	 An increase will be effective on the date of the earnings or status change. For any coverage other than Health Expense Coverage, the Active Work Rule must be
met. The employee may refuse an increase in Life Insurance or Accidental Death and Personal Loss Coverage. This must be done within 31 days of the date it would have taken effect. If refused, no other increase because of the earnings or status
change will be made until the date Aetna gives written consent.

		
	 	  	Schedule or Benefit Level Change
	 	  	If, at any time, any schedule or the level of any benefit is changed so as to warrant an amount of contributory coverage other than that for which the employee is then covered, the amount of
coverage will be changed to the new amount. For any coverage other than Health Expense Coverage, an increase will be subject to the Active Work Rule.
		
	 	  	The employee may refuse an increase in Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Personal Loss Coverage. This must be done within 31 days of the date it would have taken effect. If the employee
later elects the increase, it will be made on the date Aetna gives written consent.

	 	  	Change In Amounts (Continued)
		
	Employee Coverage (Contributory) (Continued)	  	All Changes
	  	A retroactive change in an employee’s rate of earnings or status will not result in a retroactive change in coverage. Any change in coverage will be effective on the date the change in
earnings or status is made.
		
	 	  	This section will not apply to any reductions due to reaching a stated age or due to retirement.
		
	Employee Coverage (Non-Contributory)	  	Earnings, Status, Schedule, or Benefit Level Change
	  	If, for any reason and at any time, the employee’s rate of earnings, or the employee’s status, or any schedule, or the level of any benefit is changed so as to warrant an amount of
non-contributory coverage other than that for which the employee is then covered, the amount of his or her coverage will be changed to the new amount. For any coverage other than Health Expense Coverage, an increase will be subject to the Active
Work Rule.
		
	 	  	A retroactive change in an employee’s rate of earnings or status will not result in a retroactive change in coverage. Any change in coverage will be effective on the date the change in
earnings or status is made.
		
	 	  	This section will not apply to any reductions due to reaching a stated age or due to retirement.

	 	 	Change In Amounts (Continued)
		
	Dependent Coverage	 	Status, Schedule, or Benefit Level Change
	 	If, for any reason and at any time, a dependent’s status, any schedule, or the level of any benefit for a dependent is changed so as to warrant an amount of coverage for a dependent other
than that then in force, the amount of a dependent’s coverage will be changed to the new amount.

	 	  	Other Changes
		
	Employee Coverage	  	Change in Eligibility Date
	  	An increase in any required period of service will apply only to an employee who enters service on or after the effective date of the increase. A decrease in any required period of service
will permit an employee to become eligible on the effective date of the decrease if he or she then has worked the new period of service. Otherwise he or she is eligible on the date he or she completes it.
		
	 	  	Change in Age Reduction Rule
	 	  	If an Age Reduction Rule is changed and an employee is eligible for an increase in coverage due to such change, such increase shall be effective only if Aetna gives its written
consent.
		
	Employee And Dependent Coverage	  	Addition or Deletion of a Benefit
	  	Except as set forth in the next paragraph, if any benefit becomes applicable to an employee or a dependent who is already covered under the policy, that person will be eligible for that
benefit right away. Coverage will be effective in line with the Effective Date provisions. For any coverage other than Health Expense Coverage, this includes the Active Work Rule.
		
	 	  	If any benefit no longer applies to an employee or a dependent, coverage for that benefit will stop right away for that person.

	 	  	Special Provisions
		
	Active Work Rule	  	This Active Work Rule does not apply to any Health Expense Coverage.
	  
	  	If the employee is ill or injured and away from work on the date any of his or her Employee Coverage (or any increase in such coverage) would become effective, the effective date of coverage
(or increase) will be held up until the date he or she goes back to work for one full day.

	 	  	Special Provisions (Continued)
		
	Effect of Prior Coverage - Transferred Business	  	If the coverage of any family member under one or more benefit sections replaces any prior coverage in effect for the member, the rules below will apply.
		
	 	  	“Prior Coverage” is any plan of group life insurance or group accident and health benefits coverage carried or sponsored by a Member Employer or its predecessor. It was provided by
any carrier other than Aetna (i.e., transferred business). It has been replaced as a whole or in part, as to the class of employees of which the employee is a member, by coverage under one or more benefit sections of this policy. Any such plan shall
be “prior coverage” whether provided by group insurance or by any other arrangement of group coverage.
		
	 	  	As to Life Insurance
	 	  	If an employee or his or her beneficiary becomes entitled to claim under the prior life insurance coverage, his or her Life Insurance under this policy will be canceled. This will take place
as of the date it took effect. Any premiums paid for his or her Life Insurance under this policy will be refunded to the Policyholder.
		
	 	  	The Active Work Rule will not apply on the day after the date the employee’s prior life insurance coverage terminates. The amount of his or her life insurance will be the amount in
effect under the prior coverage on the day before he or she becomes insured for Life Insurance under this policy.
		
	 	  	Any Age Reduction Rule or Retirement Rule will apply to the employee if:
		
	 	  	 the Rules do not provide a greater amount of Life Insurance than his or her amount under the prior coverage; or

		
	 	  	 his or her life insurance had not been reduced under the prior coverage due to age or retirement.

		
	 	  	If the employee does not return to active work within 12 months from the date Life Insurance goes into effect, Life Insurance will cease at the end of such 12 month period. This will happen
unless such employee is eligible as a permanently and totally disabled employee under the terms of Special Provisions for Permanently and Totally Disabled Employees.

	 	  	Special Provisions (Continued)
		
	Effect of .Prior Coverage - Transferred Business (Continued)	  	As to Accident and Health Benefits
	  	A “like benefit” of the prior coverage means:
	  	  
 As to any Accidental Death and Personal Loss
Coverage: Any benefit payable under any prior group accident plan for accidental loss of life, limb, or sight.

		
	 	  	 As to any Temporary Disability Benefit Coverage: Any benefit payable under any prior group temporary disability plan for loss of time from
work.

		
	 	  	 As to any other benefit section: Any benefit payable under any prior group medical, dental, or other health plan for medical or dental
treatment.

		
	 	  	Any applicable Active Work Rule will be waived on the day right after the date the employee’s coverage under the prior coverage terminated.
		
	 	  	Any Employee Coverage or Dependent Coverage which becomes effective under the terms of this section will not be in effect and benefits will not be available as to a disease or injury for which
benefits:
		
	 	  	 are available; or

		
	 	  	 would be available in the absence of coverage under this policy;

		
	 	  	under any extension of benefits provision of the prior coverage until the end of the period for which such benefits:
		
	 	  	 are available; or

		
	 	  	 would be available in the absence of any coverage under this policy;

		
	 	  	under such extension of benefits.

	 	  	Special Provisions (Continued)
		
	Effect of Prior Coverage - Transferred Business (Continued)	  	As to each family member to whom the 2 prior paragraphs apply:
	  	  
 An employee shall not be covered for any
Accidental Death and Personal Loss Coverage or any Temporary Disability Benefit Coverage unless he or she was covered for a like benefit under the prior coverage on the day before the date the terms of the second preceding paragraph took effect for
him or her. If he or she is covered, the amount of Principal Sum and the Weekly Benefit shall be the amount in force for him or her under the like benefit on that date. The Maximum Period of Payment will be the period in effect for him or her under
the like benefit on that date.

		
	 	  	 As to any Major Medical, Comprehensive Medical, or Comprehensive Dental Expense Benefits: If part or all of a covered family member’s Deductible, under any
section of his or her prior coverage that provides one or more of these benefits, has been applied against covered expenses incurred by him or her during the 90 day period right before the date his or her coverage goes into effect, his or her
Deductible under any Major Medical, Comprehensive Medical, or Comprehensive Dental Expense Benefits for the calendar year in which he or she becomes covered will be reduced by the amount so applied.

	Effect of Prior Coverage - Transferred Business (Continued)	  	No benefits will be payable under this policy with respect to any expenses which are covered in whole or in part under any extension of benefits under the prior coverage because of total
disability.
		
	 	  	The Policyholder will be liable for the premium required by Aetna for the terms of this provision to apply to the covered family member.
		
	 	  	Coverage under this provision will continue only for the period of time agreed to by Aetna and the Policyholder.
		
	 	  	This provision will terminate as to an employee if:
		
	 	  	 his or her coverage terminates; or

		
	 	  	 he or she meets any applicable Active Work Rule.

		
	 	  	If he or she stays insured or again becomes eligible, this policy will apply to him or her as though this provision were not included.

	Clerical Error	  	A clerical error in keeping records; or a delay in making an entry; will not alone decide if insurance is valid. An equitable adjustment in premiums will be made when the error or delay is
found. If the clerical error affects:
		
	 	  	 the existence; or

		
	 	  	 amount;

		
	 	  	of insurance, the facts as determined by Aetna will be used to decide if insurance is in force and its amount.
		
	Misstatements	  	If any fact as to a person to whom the insurance relates is found to have been misstated, a fair change in premiums will be made. If the misstatement affects the existence or amount of
insurance, the true facts will be used to decide if insurance is in force and its amount.

	 	  	Policyholder and Insurance Company Matters (Continued)
		
	Duties of the Policyholder	  	The Policyholder and each Member Employer must give Aetna such information as Aetna may reasonably require to administer this policy and must agree to:
		
	 	  	 Maintain a reasonably complete record of such information in electronic or hard copy format, including but not limited to:

		
	 	  	 evidence of eligibility;

		
	 	  	 changes to such elections; and

		
	 	  	 terminations;

		
	 	  	 for at least seven years or until the final rights and duties under this policy have been resolved; and to make such information available to Aetna upon
request.

		
	 	  	 Obtain from:

		
	 	  	 the Policyholder; and

		
	 	  	 each Member Employer:

		
	 	  	 a “Disclosure of Healthcare Information” authorization in the form currently being used by Aetna in the enrollment process; or such other form as
Aetna may reasonably approve.

		
	 	  	The information shall be provided when requested:
		
	 	  	 on Aetna forms; or

	 	  	All data which may have a bearing on insurance or premiums will be open for Aetna to inspect while this policy is in force.
		
	 	  	The Policyholder must notify employees of the termination of the policy in compliance with all applicable laws. However, Aetna reserves the right to notify employees of termination of the
policy for any reason, including non-payment of premium. The Policyholder shall provide written notice to employees of their rights upon termination of coverage.
		
	 	  	The Plan Administrator must:
		
	 	  	 notify all eligible employees of their right to continue coverage under COBRA and any applicable state law; and

		
	 	  	 provide notification to each employee within 14 days after termination of coverage, of their conversion right, including:

	 	 	Policyholder and Insurance Company Matters (Continued)
		
	Non-Discrimination	 	In the management of this policy, the Policyholder and the Member Employers:
		
	 	 	 will make no attempt, whether through differential contributions or otherwise, to encourage or discourage enrollment in the coverages provided by the policy based
on health status or risk.

		
	 	 	 will act so as not to discriminate unfairly between persons in like situations at the time of the action.

		
	 	 	Aetna can rely on such action. It will not have to probe into the details.
		
	Certificates	 	Aetna will provide the Policyholder with either a supply of paper copies or electronic certificates. The Policyholder shall distribute or otherwise make the certificates available to each
insured employee. The insurance in force will be set forth. Statements as to whom benefits are payable will appear. Any applicable Conversion Privilege will also be described.
		
	Policy Changes	 	This policy may be amended by Aetna:
		
	 	 	 with 30 days written notice to the Policyholder; or

		
	 	 	 by written agreement between Aetna and the Policyholder.

		
	 	 	The consent of any employee or other person is not needed. All agreements made by Aetna are signed by one of its executive officers. No other person can change or waive any of the policy terms
or make any agreement binding Aetna. The Policyholder will not have to give written agreement of a change in the policy if:
		
	 	 	 •       The Policyholder has asked for the change and Aetna has agreed to it.

		
	 	 	 •       The change is needed to correct an error in the policy, including any certificate issued to
anyone.

		
	 	 	 •       The change is needed so that the policy will conform to any law, regulation or ruling
of:

		
	 	 	 a jurisdiction that affects a person covered under this policy; or

		
	 	 	 the federal government.

		
	 	 	 •       The change has been initiated by Aetna and is not resulting in either:

		
	 	 	 a reduction or elimination in benefits or coverage; or

		
	 	 	 an increase in premium.

	Policy Changes (Continued)	  	The Policyholder will have to give written agreement of a change in the policy:
		
	 	  	 that reduces or eliminates benefits or coverage; or

		
	 	  	 that increases benefits or coverage with a concurrent increase in premium during the policy term, except if the increased benefits or coverage is required by
law.

		
	 	  	Payment of the applicable premium after notice of the proposed changes will be deemed to constitute the Policyholder’s written agreement of those changes on behalf of all persons covered
under this policy.
		
	 	  	This policy shall be deemed to be automatically amended to conform with the provisions of applicable laws and regulations. This policy may also be amended by Aetna:
		
	 	  	 with 30 days written notice to the Policyholder; or

		
	 	  	 by written agreement between Aetna and the Policyholder.

		
	 	  	The consent of any employee or other person is not needed. All agreements made by Aetna are signed by one of its executive officers. No other person can change or waive any of the policy

	Contract	  	This policy and application of the Policyholder are the entire contract. A copy of the application is attached. All statements made by the Policyholder or an employee shall be deemed
representations and not warranties. No written statement made by an employee shall be used by Aetna in a contest unless:
		
	 	  	 a copy of the statement is; or

		
	 	  	 has been furnished to:

		
	 	  	 the employee; or

		
	 	  	 his beneficiary; or

		
	 	  	 the person making the claim.

		
	 	  	Aetna’s failure to implement or insist upon compliance with any provision of this policy at any given time or times, shall not constitute a waiver of Aetna’s right to implement; or
insist upon compliance with that provision at any other time or times. This includes, but is not limited to, the payment of premiums. This applies whether or not the circumstances are the same.
		
	Life Insurance - Incontestability	  	The validity of this policy shall not be contested, except for non-payment of premiums, after it has been in force for 2 years. No statement made by an employee about his insurability shall
be used by Aetna in contesting the validity of the insurance as to which such statement was made if the insurance has been in force prior to the contest for 2 years during the employee’s lifetime nor unless such statement is contained in a
written form signed by him.
		
	Accident and Health Coverage Statements	  	Except as to a fraudulent misstatement or issues concerning premiums due:
		
	 	  	 No statement made by the Policyholder or an employee shall be the basis for:

		
	 	  	 voiding coverage; or

		
	 	  	 denying coverage; or

		
	 	  	 be used in defense of a claim;

		
	 	  	 unless it is in writing.

		
	 	  	 No statement made by the Policyholder shall be used to void this policy after it has been in force for 2 years.

		
	 	  	 No statement made by an eligible employee shall be used in defense to a claim for loss incurred or starting after coverage as to which claim is made has been in
effect for 2 years.

	Premiums Due - Experience Rating	  	The premium due under this policy on any premium due date will be the sum of the premium charges for the coverages then provided under this policy.
		
	 	  	If premiums are payable monthly, any insurance becoming effective will be charged for from the first day of the policy month on or right after the date the insurance takes effect. Premium
charges for insurance which ceases will cease as of the first day of the policy month on; or right after the date the insurance terminates. If premiums are payable less often than monthly, premium charges or credits for a fraction of a
premium-paying period will be made on a pro rata basis for the number of policy months between:
		
	 	  	 the date premium charges start or cease; and

		
	 	  	 the end of the premium-paying period.

		
	 	  	If this policy is changed to provide more coverage to take effect on a date other than the first day of a premium-paying period, a pro rata premium for the coverage will be due and payable on
that date. It will cover the period then starting and ending right before the start of the next premium-paying period.
		
	 	  	The premium charges will be figured at the premium rates shown before. Aetna may change them due to:
		
	 	  	 Experience; or

		
	 	  	 a change in factors bearing on the risk assumed.

		
	 	  	Each change shall be made by written notice to the Policyholder by Aetna.
		
	 	  	No experience reduction or increase in premium rates shall become effective less than 12 months after the effective date of the group policy unless there is:
		
	 	  	 a significant change in factors bearing a material impact on the risk assumed by Aetna; or

		
	 	  	 changes in applicable state or federal:

		
	 	  	 law;

all of it will be applied against the payment of premiums or in any other manner as may be agreed to by the Policyholder and Aetna.
		
	 	  	If the sum of employee contributions which have been made for group insurance exceeds the sum of premiums which have been paid for group insurance (after giving effect to any experience
credits), the excess will be applied by the Policyholder for the sole benefit of employees. Aetna will not have to see to the use of such excess.
		
	 	  	Instead of figuring premiums as described above, premiums may be figured in any way approved by Aetna that comes up with about the same amount of premiums.
		
	 	  	Aetna will not have to refund any premium for a period prior to:
		
	 	  	 The first day of the policy year in which Aetna receives proof that the refund should be made; or

		
	 	  	 The date 3 months before Aetna receives proof, if this produces a larger refund.

		
	 	  	This applies even if the premium was paid in error.

	 	  	The Policyholder will pay premiums and fees in advance. They may be paid at Aetna’s Home Office or to its authorized agent.

	 	  	The Policyholder may change the number of premium payments as of a premium due date. This needs Aetna’s written consent.

	Retroactive Adjustments	  	Aetna may, at its discretion, make retroactive adjustments to the Policyholder’s billings for the termination of employees not posted to previous billings. Retroactive additions will be
made at Aetna’s discretion based upon eligibility guidelines stated in the certificate, and are subject to the payment of all applicable premiums.
		
	Grace Period	  	A grace period of 31 days after the due date will be allowed the Policyholder for the payment of each premium for non-contributory coverage. A grace period of 60 days after the due date will
be allowed the Policyholder for the payment of each premium for contributory coverage. If premiums are not paid by the end of the grace period, the policy will automatically terminate at the end of the grace period.

 GlobalSantaFe Severance Program 
 For Shorebased Staff Personnel 
  
 SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION AND PLAN DOCUMENT 
  
 (Effective January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005) 
  

	1.	Purpose of the Plan 

  
 The GlobalSantaFe Severance Program for Shorebased Staff Personnel has been adopted effective for the period January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005.
The purposes of the Plan are: 
  

	 	(a)	To make Severance Benefits available to eligible Employees that will financially assist with their transition following involuntary layoff from employment with an Employer, other
than for Cause, while the Plan is in effect; 

  

	 	(b)	To resolve any possible claims arising out of employment, including its termination, by providing eligible Employees with Severance Benefits in return for a Waiver and Release from
liability. 

  
 This Plan is voluntarily offered by
the Employers, and payments under this Plan are not required by any legal obligation other than the Plan itself. 
  
 This Plan supersedes, amends and restates all prior severance plans, practices and policies (other than individual contracts providing for severance
benefits) in effect with any Employer, and such prior severance plans, practices and policies are discontinued and terminated with respect to all Employees eligible for a benefit under this Plan. 
  

	2.	Definitions 

  
 As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the following meanings (and the singular includes the plural, unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise): 
  
 Affiliate: The Company and any corporation
that, together with GSF, is a member of a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), is a member of an affiliated service group under Code Section 414(m), or is under common control pursuant to Code Section 414(c). 
  
 Base Pay: The Employee’s base salary or pay, excluding Bonuses,
overtime, commissions, cost-of-living adjustments, special pay related to foreign assignment, and other irregular or extra compensation, as of his or her Layoff Date. Base salary or pay will be appropriately converted to an annual or weekly amount,
as applicable. Hourly base pay will be converted to a weekly amount by multiplying the Employee’s hourly rate by the Employee’s regularly scheduled hours per week, excluding overtime hours. 

 Bonus: A payment made under an established incentive compensation practice of an Employer
providing regular and ongoing bonus opportunities. For this purpose, an annual bonus is a bonus payable with respect to a one-year period and not an annual payment made with respect to a longer period (such as a multi-year performance cycle). In the
event that any annual bonus is paid in installments over 12 months or less, the payments will be deemed paid in a single aggregate amount on the date the last payment is received. The term “Bonus” will not include (i) payments constituting
part of an Employee’s Base Pay, (ii) allowances, adjustments or bonuses that represent special area or living allowances, (iii) commissions, (iv) contingent or other irregular or extra compensation based upon contract completions or extended
travel assignments, (v) extraordinary bonuses that are not part of a program of regular and ongoing bonus opportunities, (vi) employer contributions under a defined benefit or defined contribution plan and (vii) any other form of compensation that
does not constitute part of an Employee’s Base Pay, such as restricted stock awards, stock options awarded under the Employer’s stock option plans as in effect from time to time, or any severance payments. 
  
 Notwithstanding the above, “Bonus” includes only
that compensation that is considered “wages” under Code Section 3121(a)(1), without regard to any limitations on amounts as may be stated from time to time therein. 
  
 Cause: Unacceptable or inadequate performance as determined by the Employer, including but not limited to failure to
perform the Employee’s job at a level or in a manner acceptable to the Employer, misconduct, dishonesty, acts detrimental or destructive to the Employer or any other Affiliate or to any employees or property of the Employer or any other
Affiliate, or any violation of the policies of the Employer. 
  
 COBRA: The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, currently embodied in Code Section 4980B, which provides for continuation of group health plan coverage in certain circumstances. 
  
 COBRA Rate: The cost of continued coverage under COBRA, which as of
January 1, 2005, is 102% of the full group rate (including the employee’s share and the Company’s share of the group coverage cost and a 2% administrative fee). 
  
 Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder. 
  
 Company: GlobalSantaFe Corporate Services Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and any successor to GlobalSantaFe Corporate Services Inc. 
  
 Effective Date: January 1, 2005. 
  
 Employee: An individual who, immediately prior to the Layoff Date, is (i) an active, regular (not temporary), full time shorebased employee of an Employer and (ii) on the Houston U.S. dollar payroll of an
Employer. However, the definition of “Employee” shall not include (a) subject to Section 3(b)(v), any rig-based employee, (b) any employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement that does not provide for his or her coverage, (c) any
person, regardless of whether such person is treated as an employee for income tax purposes: (y) who has agreed in writing to be treated as other than an 
  

 -2- 

 
employee, or (z) in the case of persons subject to U.S. income tax, whose compensation is reported to the Internal Revenue Service on a form other than Form
W-2 or whose compensation is reported on a Form W-2 solely by a person or entity other than an Employer, and (d) any person who is an officer of an Employer with annual compensation greater than $135,000 who is defined as a “key employee”
in Section 416(i) of the Code and regulations thereunder, and treated as a “key employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code under applicable authorities. The determination of whether an Employee is on an Employer’s Houston U.S.
dollar payroll will be made by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. For purposes of this definition, “full-time” means regularly scheduled employment for at least 30 hours per week. Except as otherwise required by law, an
individual on any unpaid leave from an Employer, short-term or long-term disability of an Employer, or worker’s compensation will not be considered an active Employee until the individual’s return to active service of the Employer.

  
 Employer: The Company or any Affiliate (as the context
requires) that participates in the Plan pursuant to Section 11. 
  
 ERISA: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
  
 GSF: GlobalSantaFe Corporation, a Cayman Islands corporation, and any successor to GlobalSantaFe Corporation. 
  
 Layoff Date: The date designated by the Employer as the day after the last day on which an Employee shall remain in active employment with the
Employer due to involuntary layoff. 
  
 Participant: Any
Employee eligible for a Severance Benefit. 
  
 Plan: The
GlobalSantaFe Severance Program for Shorebased Staff Personnel as set forth in this document. 
  
 Plan Administrator: The person or persons appointed by the Company to serve as plan administrator, as further described in Section 16. 
  
 Service: The total sum, as of the Employee’s Layoff Date, of his or her current period and prior periods of
active, regular (not temporary), full-time employment, whether or not shorebased and whether or not on a U.S. dollar payroll, with an Employer or any Affiliate, including for this purpose any period of disability that does not exceed 30 days. For
purposes of this definition, “full-time” means regularly scheduled employment for at least 30 hours per week, and a “prior period of employment” means any period of employment with an Employer or any Affiliate that was not
immediately succeeded by a period of non-employment from and Employer or Affiliate of greater duration. 
  
 Severance Benefit: A benefit described in Section 4 of this Plan. 
  

 -3- 

 Severance Period: The period of time, commencing on the Layoff Date, equal to the total number of
years and/or weeks, as the case may be, of Base Pay that a Participant is entitled to receive a Severance Benefit under this Plan. 
  
 Waiver and Release: The legal document in which an Employee, in exchange for certain Severance Benefits under the Plan, releases each Employer and
all other Affiliates, their agents, servants, employees, officers, directors, insurance carriers, employee benefit plans, and trustees, fiduciaries and agents of such plans, and any and all other persons, firms, organizations and corporations from
liability and damages arising from or in connection with the Employee’s employment or the cessation of his or her employment or active employment by the Employer or any other Affiliate and agrees to certain restrictions on disclosure of
confidential information, solicitation of employees and interference with the affairs of the Employer or any other Affiliate. With respect to Employees working in the United Kingdom, the term “Waiver and Release” shall refer to a
compromise agreement in terms of Section 203 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and associated legislation of the United Kingdom. 
  
 Waiver and Release Requirement: The requirement that an Employee in exchange for certain Severance Benefits under the Plan: (i) execute and return
to the Plan Administrator, by the date established by the Plan Administrator for such purpose, a Waiver and Release and (ii) not revoke the Waiver and Release within the seven days following its execution and return. 
  

	3.	Eligibility for Severance Benefit 

  

	 	(a)	Qualifying Events 

  
 An Employee will receive a Severance Benefit under this Plan if (i) the Employee’s employment with his or her Employer is involuntarily terminated by
the Employer other than for Cause, (ii) the Employee remains employed by his or her Employer in good standing and at a satisfactory level of performance through the date preceding the Layoff Date, (iii) to the extent required by Section 4, the

	 	(b)	Disqualifying Events 

  
 NO Severance Benefit will be paid if: 
  

	 	(i)	the Employee’s termination of employment results from death, disability, or, except as otherwise required by law, layoff during an unpaid leave of absence; or

  

 -4- 

	 	(ii)	except in the event the offer is rescinded before the Employee’s Layoff Date, the Employee is offered a non-rig-based position at the same or higher rate of Base Pay by an
Employer, any other Affiliate, or any corporation, partnership or other business entity under common control with GSF, whether or not the Employee accepts the position; or 

  

	 	(iii)	except in the event the offer is rescinded before the Employee’s Layoff Date, an Employee who has held a rig-based position with the Company or any Affiliate within the prior
three years is offered a rig-based position at the same or higher rate of Base Pay by an Employer, any other Affiliate, or any corporation, partnership or other business entity under common control with GSF, whether or not the Employee accepts the
position; or 

  

	 	(iv)	the Employee accepts a non-rig-based position with an Employer, any other Affiliate, or any corporation, partnership or other business entity under common control with GSF at a
lower level of Base Pay; or 

  

	 	(v)	the Employee accepts a transfer to a rig-based position with an Employer or any other Affiliate; provided that the Employee will remain eligible for Severance Benefits if the
Employee is subsequently laid off from the rig-based assignment during the six-month period commencing on the date of transfer to the rig-based position, with the Severance Benefit calculated using the Base Pay in effect prior to the transfer to the
rig-based position; or 

  

	 	(vi)	subject to the provisions in subsection 10(c), this Plan is amended in a way that makes the Employee ineligible or is terminated before the Employee has returned an executed Waiver
and Release and has met all the other requirements for a Severance Benefit hereunder; or 

  

	 	(vii)	the Employee fails to return all property and materials of each Employer and all other Affiliates to his or her supervisor or other appropriate representative(s) of the Employers
and the Affiliates no later than the Employee’s Layoff Date; or 

  

	 	(viii)	the Employee is, for any reason, entitled to severance benefits or retention benefits or retention Bonuses under any other contract, agreement, plan, program or policy of an
Employer or any Affiliate, or under any agreement between the Employee and an Employer or any Affiliate, other than statutory benefits; or 

  

	 	(ix)	in connection with any sale or other transfer of any business or assets of any Employer, the Employee remains in substantially the same job regardless of whether or not a change of
employers is a result of such sale or transfer. 

  

 -5- 

	4.	Benefit Calculation and Payment of Severance Benefit 

  
 An Employee who meets the requirements to be eligible for a Severance Benefit as described in Section 3 will receive, as his or her Severance Benefit, the
benefits described in (a) or (b) below (but not both), as appropriate: 
  

	 	(a)	An Employee who fulfills the Waiver and Release Requirement will receive (i) two weeks’ Base Pay for each $10,000 of the Employee’s annual Base Pay, prorated for partial
increments of $10,000, plus (ii) one week’s Base Pay for each year of the Employee’s Service (with a two-week minimum), prorated for partial years of Service. The maximum Severance Benefit is fifty-two weeks of Base Pay;

  

	 	(b)	An Employee who does not fulfill the Waiver and Release Requirement will receive a maximum Severance Benefit of six weeks of the Employee’s Base Pay. 

 
 The Severance Benefit will be paid by continuing to pay the individual at
current Base Pay for the duration of the Severance Period. The Severance Benefit will continue even if the individual’s employment is terminated following layoff and/or if the individual is also receiving retirement benefits. If an individual
is recalled to employment with an Employer or Affiliate while receiving Severance Benefit payments, the Severance Benefits will be discontinued effective upon the date of his or her return to the regular payroll and the individual will not be
entitled to any further Severance Benefit payments with respect to the Layoff Date that preceded his or her return to an Employer’s or Affiliate’s regular payroll. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, the Severance Benefit will be reduced by the amount of any statutory redundancy
or other legally required benefit received by the Employee as a result or in respect of his or her layoff. 
  

	5.	Continuation of Other Benefits 

  
 A Participant who satisfies all the requirements for any Severance Benefit under this Plan will, in addition to the Severance Benefit, be entitled to the
following benefits, subject to the terms of the governing plans: 
  

	 	(a)	Medical/Dental Plan Benefits 

  
 A Participant will be entitled to continue the medical and dental plan coverage in effect on the Participant’s Layoff Date if the Participant is
eligible for and elects continuation of that coverage in accordance with COBRA. The Participant will be required to pay the active employee rate with respect to coverage during the Severance Period (or three months, if longer) and thereafter the
full COBRA Rate with respect to the continued coverage. The eligibility of the Participant to continue coverage at both the active employee rate and the full COBRA Rate will not exceed the period required by COBRA. Benefits under this subsection
5(a) will be governed by and subject to (1) the terms and conditions of the plan documents providing the benefits, including the reservation of the right to amend 
  

 -6- 

 
or terminate such benefits under those plan documents at any time, and (2) the provisions of COBRA. The period of coverage provided under this Section will
constitute continuation coverage required by COBRA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants working in the United Kingdom may be required to pay an amount greater than the active employee rate for coverage during the Severance Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Participant obtains medical and/or dental coverage from a subsequent employer, the obligation of an Employer to provide the Participant with medical and/or dental benefits under this subsection 5(a)
will terminate. 
  

	(b)	Life Insurance 

  
 The Participant’s coverage under any life insurance benefit provided by an Employer, as in effect immediately preceding the Participant’s Layoff
Date, will continue for the Severance Period (or three months, if longer), subject to the Participant’s payment of the employee portion of the premium. For certain Participants, the employee portion of premiums paid during the Severance Period
may be greater than the employee portion of the premiums paid immediately prior to the Layoff Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of an Employer to continue providing life insurance benefits under this subsection 5(b) will terminate
upon the Participant obtaining life insurance coverage from a subsequent employer. 
  

	(c)	Savings and Pension Plans Benefits 

  
 The Participant will be entitled to the benefits, if any, that the Participant is entitled to under an Employer’s savings and pension plans, pursuant
to the terms in effect during the Severance Period. 
  

	(d)	Disability Benefits 

  
 The Participant’s coverage under any short-term and long term disability plans of any Employer will cease on the Layoff Date. 
  

	(e)	Flexible Spending Accounts  

  
 A Participant’s rights under any of Employer’s health care reimbursement plan and/or dependent care reimbursement plan will be governed by the
provisions of those plans and, with respect to any such health care reimbursement plan, the provisions of COBRA. 
  

	(f)	All Other Benefit Plans or Programs 

  
 A Participant’s participation in all other employee benefit plans and/or programs of any Employer will cease as of his or her Layoff Date, subject to
the terms and conditions of the governing documents of those employee benefit plans and/or programs. 
  

 -7- 

	6.	Tax Effect 

  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if GSF’s independent accounting firm (“Accounting Firm”) determines that any payment or distribution by any
Employer or Affiliate to or for the benefit of the Participant (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise, and whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable in cash, stock or
any form) (a “Payment”) constitutes a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) (“Parachute Payment”) that would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Participant with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Basic Excise Tax”),
then the aggregate present value of all Payments to the Participant, whether payable pursuant to this Plan or otherwise, shall be reduced to an amount equal to one dollar less than three times the Participant’s base amount (“280G
Limit”) and, to the extent necessary, Payments payable under this Plan and any Payments payable under any other plan, agreement, or arrangement between the Participant and any Employer or Affiliate shall be reduced in order to prevent the 280G
Limit from being exceeded. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine the order in which Payments are reduced in order to comply with the 280G Limit. In the event that any portion of a Payment requires reduction under this
clause (i), the Participant will promptly repay the applicable Employer or Affiliate the amount that the Payment is to be reduced (the “Overpayment”) plus interest on the Overpayment at 120% of the applicable Federal rate provided for a
demand loan under Section 7872(f) of the Code, and the Overpayment will be treated as a demand loan for all purposes. For purposes of this subsection (a), the terms “base amount” and “present value” shall have the meaning
assigned under Section 280G of the Code; 

  

	 	(b)	Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6, all determinations required to be made under this Section 6, including whether a reduction is required pursuant to
subsection 6(a), and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, will be made by the Accounting Firm, which will provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Plan Administrator and the Participant within 15 business
days of the receipt of written notice from the Participant that there has been a Payment, or an earlier time as is requested by the Plan Administrator. All fees and disbursements of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the applicable Employer(s), as
determined by the Plan Administrator. 

  

	7.	Unemployment Benefits; Taxes 

  
 Payments under this Plan will not be reduced because of any unemployment benefits an Employee may be eligible to receive under applicable unemployment
laws of any federal, state or other sovereign entity that the Company or any Affiliate is not required to pay. Any required United States federal or state tax withholding, FICA (Social Security) taxes 
  

 -8- 

 
and any tax required to be withheld under the laws of the United Kingdom, if applicable, will be deducted from any benefit paid under the Plan. 

 

	8.	Payment of Severance Benefits on Death 

  
 If a Participant dies on or after his or her Layoff Date and after executing and returning the Waiver and Release (without having timely revoked it) but
before receiving his or her full Severance Benefit, any remaining Severance Benefit will instead be paid (a) to the Participant’s beneficiary (or beneficiaries), if living, designated under the group life insurance plan of the
Participant’s Employer, or (b) if no beneficiary is so designated or living, to the executor of the Participant’s estate, in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the date of death. 
  

	9.	Non-Assignment of Severance Payment 

  
 No benefit under this Plan will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, voluntary or
involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempt to do so will be void. Also, no benefit under this Plan will be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to it, except as
required by law. 
  

	10.	Plan Amendment and Termination 

  

	 	(a)	Except as provided in subsection 10(c) below, the Board of Directors of the Company may at any time (i) terminate this Plan, or (ii) amend this Plan. Any amendment or termination
pursuant to this subsection 10(a) will be set out in an instrument in writing duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	Unless terminated earlier as provided in subsection 10(a) above and except as provided in subsection 10(c) below, this Plan will terminate at 11:59 p.m., Houston, Texas time on
December 31, 2005. 

  

	 	(c)	No amendment or termination of this Plan may be made or shall be effective to the extent that it would adversely affect the benefits under this Plan payable to a Participant who has
returned (and has not revoked) a signed Waiver and Release and has met all of the other requirements for a Severance Benefit under this Plan (other than the expiration of the Waiver and Release revocation period) before the Plan is amended or
terminated. 

  

	11.	Adoption of Plan by Affiliates 

  
 Each Affiliate of the Company will be considered an Employer, and will remain an Employer, under this Plan upon its employment of an Employee, provided
that an Affiliate will not be an Employer if: 
  

	 	(a)	The Affiliate is specifically excluded from coverage under this Plan either through termination of this Plan or by action of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Affiliate;
or 

  

 -9- 

	 	(b)	The Affiliate becomes an Affiliate after the Effective Date as a result of a transaction involving a transfer of ownership interest in an entity, and no action has been taken by the
Affiliate or the Company that specifically contemplates that the Affiliate will become an Employer in this Plan. 

  
 By its participation in the Plan, each Affiliate acknowledges the appointment and authority of the Plan Administrator by the Company and agrees to the
Plan’s terms. By its participation in the Plan, an Affiliate also authorizes and designates the Company and the Plan Administrator as the Affiliate’s agents to act in all transactions affecting the continued operation of the Plan.

  
 12. Claims Procedures 
  

	 	(a)	Making a Claim 

  
 If benefits due under this Plan have not been provided within the applicable time frame specified for such benefits, a Participant, his or her beneficiary
or an authorized representative (referred to as “Claimant”) must request those benefits in writing within 90 days of the Layoff Date or termination of benefit payment from the Plan Administrator. Claims will be evaluated and approved or
denied by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
  
 This Section 12 describes procedures that must be followed by the Plan in denying a claim, or by the Claimant in appealing the denial of a claim. 
  
 For all claims and appeals, the time frame during which a benefit determination must be made begins when the claim or appeal
is filed as required by the Plan, even if all of the information necessary to make a benefit determination is not a part of the filing. If the deadline for a decision on a claim or appeal is extended because the Claimant did not provide all of the
information necessary to decide the claim, the deadline for making the benefit determination will be extended by the length of time that passes between the extension notice and the date on which the requested additional information is provided to
the Plan Administrator. 
  
 A Claimant may not sue for any Plan
benefits until he or she has gone through all of the appeal procedures provided in this Section 12. 
  

	 	(b)	Denial of a Claim 

  
 If a claim for benefits is denied, the Claimant will be given written or electronic notice of the denial within a reasonable period of time after the
claim is received. This will not be later than 90 days after the claim was received unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing. If there is an extension, the Claimant will be given written notice of the extension, the
reason for the extension within the initial 90-day period after the claim was received, and the date by which the decision is expected to be made. The extension will not extend beyond 180 days after the original claim was received by the Plan
Administrator. 
  

 -10- 

 Any notice that a claim for benefits has been denied will include: 
  

	 	(i)	the specific reason(s) for the denial; 

  

	 	(ii)	the specific provision(s) of the Plan on which the denial is based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a description of any additional material or information necessary in order for the claim to be approved, and an explanation of why that material or information is necessary; and

  

	 	(iv)	an explanation of how to appeal the denial, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to file a lawsuit under Section 502(a) of ERISA if his or her claim is denied on
appeal. 

  

	 	(c)	Appealing a Denied Claim 

  
 If the claim is denied, the Claimant can request reconsideration of this claim denial by the Plan Administrator. The request must be made in writing
within 60 days after the date the Claimant receives the claim denial. In connection with the appeal, the Claimant may provide the Plan Administrator written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The
Claimant also will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. This includes any such item that: 
  

	 	(i)	was relied on in making a benefit determination; 

  

	 	(ii)	was submitted, considered or generated in making the benefit determination, regardless of whether it was relied on; or 

  

	 	(iii)	demonstrates compliance with administrative processes and safeguards designed to ensure benefit determinations are appropriately made in accordance with the Plan documents.

  

	 	(d)	Review of Denied Claim on Appeal 

  
 The Plan Administrator will reconsider any denied claim for which it receives an appeal as set forth in subsection 12(c). The Plan Administrator’s
review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, even if this information was not submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 
  
 The Plan Administrator must make its decision on the appeal within a
reasonable period after receiving the appeal, but not later than 60 days after the appeal was received (plus up to an additional 60 days if special circumstances require an extension of the deadline for making a decision on appeal). The Claimant
will be notified in writing, within 60 days after the date that the appeal was received by the Plan Administrator, if any extension is necessary. That notice will state why 
  

 -11- 

 
the extension is required and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to make the decision on the appeal. 
  
 The decision on the appeal will be provided to the Claimant in writing or
electronically. If the claim is denied on appeal, the decision will include: 
  

	 	(i)	the specific reason(s) for the denial; 

  

	 	(ii)	the specific provision(s) of the Plan on which the denial is based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to
the claim for benefits (as described above in subsection 12(c)); 

  

	 	(iv)	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the Claimant’s right to obtain further information about any such procedures; and

  

	 	(v)	a statement of the Claimant’s right to file a lawsuit under ERISA. 

  
 Subject to a Claimant’s right to file a lawsuit under ERISA, the decision on appeal will be final and binding on the Claimant, the Plan Administrator
and all other interested parties. 
  
 13. Participant Rights

  
 As a participant in the Plan you are entitled to certain
rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that all Plan Participants shall be entitled to: 
  
 Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits 
  
 Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as work sites and union halls, all documents
governing the Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the
Employee Benefits Security Administration. 
  
 Obtain, upon
written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary
plan description. The administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. 
  
 Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each Participant with a copy of this summary annual report. 
  

 -12- 

 Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries 
  
 In addition to creating rights for Plan Participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the
operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan Participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your
employer, your union, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. 
  
 Enforce Your Rights 
  
 If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in
part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above
rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to
provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole
or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court after you have exhausted all of the appeal procedures provided for in Section 12 of the Plan. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are
discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court
may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. 
  
 Assistance with Your Questions 
  
 If you have any questions about your Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this
statement or about your rights under ERISA or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your
telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your
rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
