At your election, coverage can be provided through life insurance or as an uninsured death benefit. See page 5.

Eligibility and Enrollment Basic Life Coverage Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Group Universal Life Insurance Voluntary Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Choosing a Beneficiary Retiree Coverage Administrative and ERISA Information Key Terms

Eligibility and Enrollment Q. Who is eligible to participate in the Life Insurance Plan? A. Most U.S. dollar-paid regular employees of Exxon Mobil Corporation and participating affiliates are eligible. For details, see Eligible Employee on page 32 of the Key Terms section. In addition, certain retirees as described below are eligible for coverage: 1. Anyone who becomes an ExxonMobil retiree after January 1, 2000, and on or before December 1, 2015, and 2. An employee participating in the plan as of December 1, 2015, who is at least 50 years of age with at least 10 years of benefit service, and becomes a retiree after December 1, 2015. Employees participating in the Exxon Family Adjustment and Family Income Plan or participating in the Executive Life Insurance/Death Benefit Plan are not eligible for Basic Life Coverage. Enrollment You do not enroll for Basic Life Coverage and Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance — eligible employees are automatically covered on the first day of active employment. For Basic Life Coverage, you may elect a death benefit instead of life insurance (see Life Insurance Compared With Death Benefit on page 6). If you want additional life insurance coverage at group rates, you may enroll in Group Universal Life Insurance. You may also purchase additional accidental coverage through Voluntary Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance. You can enroll in either coverage by using Employee Direct Access (EDA) available on the ExxonMobil Me HR Intranet site. Enrollment forms are also available from Benefits Administration for those individuals who do not have access to EDA. If you enroll in Group Universal Life Insurance within 31 days of your first day of active employment, you can do so without evidence of insurability. You can enroll in Voluntary Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance at any time and no evidence of insurability is required. The effective date of your coverage will be the date your election is made on EDA or the date your form is received by Benefits Administration.

Q. What benefit does the company provide? Basic Life Coverage

- Benefit Amount - Life Insurance Compared with Death Benefit

- Tax Considerations - Annual Imputed Income - Death Benefit - How the Benefit is Paid - When Coverage Ends - Conversion Option Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Group Universal Life Insurance

A. The company pays the full cost of your Basic Life coverage. The maximum benefit is two times your annualized monthly benefit pay. If you die as the result of an accident, additional benefits may be paid. (See Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance on page 9.)

Benefit Amount Benefits are paid if you die as an employee or retiree eligible for coverage. As an employee, if you have a pay change your coverage is based on your annualized monthly benefit pay beginning the first full month after the change, rather than effective with the pay change. The benefit amount is 200% of your annualized monthly benefit pay as an employee. The Benefit amount for retirees after January 1, 2000, and on or before December 1, 2015, is shown below:

Note: Beginning at age 65, the benefit reduces monthly on a pro-rata basis. Employees with less than 15 years of benefit service, but who separated with retiree status, have 150% of annualized monthly benefit pay at age 55. The Benefit amount for all other retirees eligible for coverage is 150% of annualized monthly benefit pay.

Life Insurance Compared with Death Benefit You may choose to have Basic Life coverage in the form of an insurance benefit or an uninsured death benefit. The benefit amount is exactly the same. The difference between the two types of benefits is their treatment under state inheritance federal estate, and income tax laws. You may change from life insurance to an uninsured death benefit at any time, and the change is effective the first of the month following the date your properly completed election form is received by Benefits Administration. To change from the death benefit to the life insurance option, you must provide evidence of insurability and meet Cigna's underwriting requirements. Your change will become effective the first of the month following the date Benefits Administration receives notification that Cigna has approved the evidence of insurability. You will be covered under life insurance unless you specifically elect death benefit coverage.

Tax Considerations Life insurance proceeds paid to your beneficiary are not subject to federal and local income tax. Life insurance proceeds may, however, be subject to federal estate taxes. While you are alive, you are taxed on the "value" of any company-provided life insurance coverage over $50,000. The "value" is determined by your age and a schedule established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This tax liability is based on an "imputed income" calculation. This imputed income is included in your gross wages and on Form W-2 at the end of the calendar year. The following table shows the imputed income amount for each $1,000 of company provided Basic Life Insurance: 5-Year Age Bracket

Uninsured Death Benefit If you choose the uninsured death benefit option, the company pays your beneficiary the same amount the insurance coverage would have paid. Because there is no insurance under this option, there is no imputed income for federal income tax purposes. However, the proceeds paid to your beneficiary are subject to income tax and may also be subject to taxes as part of your estate.

How the Benefit is Paid The uninsured death benefit is payable as a lump sum to your beneficiary. Life insurance proceeds are deposited in an interest bearing account with the insurance company and the beneficiary has the right to withdraw the proceeds as needed. In addition, the insurance company offers other settlement options such as an annuity.

When Coverage Ends If you leave employment without becoming a retiree eligible for coverage, your Basic Life coverage ends:   

Thirty-one days after termination if you have the life insurance. Immediately if you elected the uninsured death benefit option. If you become a suspended retiree.

If you are terminated due to disability, coverage is extended up to one year so long as you continue to receive disability benefits under the ExxonMobil Disability Plan. If your employment status changes from regular to non-regular employee, you are treated as if you had terminated employment without becoming a retiree. Non-regular employees include extended part-time (enhanced non-regular) employees. If you become a retiree eligible for coverage after December 1, 2015, your Basic Life coverage ends 5 years from your retirement date. Coverage during approved Leaves of Absence   

 

Health/Dependent Care Leave - up to 6 months. Military Leave - continues for the length of the leave. Personal Leave: up to 12 months. However, when a Personal leave is used to extend a Health Dependent Care leave, the maximum benefit coverage is 12 months for the combined leaves. Education Leave: up to 6 months. Civic Affairs Leave: up to 30 days.

Conversion Option If you have the life insurance option, you may be able to convert some of your coverage to an individual converted life policy. You must apply in writing and pay the premium to CGLIC within 31 days of the date your coverage ends (see page 2). Evidence of insurability is not needed. You cannot convert the uninsured death benefit.

Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

Basic Life Coverage

Q. What happens if I die or am injured in an accident?

Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment

A. The company provides insurance for accidental death and certain accident-related injuries. The benefit amount depends on a number of factors, including whether the accident is work-related. Employees may also purchase additional coverage through Voluntary Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance (see page 18).

You are covered by this benefit for losses that are the result of an injury which is caused by certain accidents that occur on or off the job while you are a participant. An accident is a sudden, violent, unexpected, external incident.

Services Group Universal Life Insurance Voluntary Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

If you die in an accident, your beneficiary receives two times your annualized monthly benefit pay. As an employee, if you have a pay change your coverage is based on your annualized monthly benefit pay beginning the first full month after the change, rather than effective with the pay change. You receive benefits for certain physical losses which occur within one year of the accident. Example:

Restrictions There are some restrictions applicable to the payment of Basic Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) benefits. Benefits will not be paid if the death or injury results from:        

Your use of intoxicants; Your illegal use of stimulants, drugs or narcotics; Your unlawful act; Your willful intent to injure yourself or another except in self-defense; Your employment with another company or self-employment; Your lack of due care for the safety of yourself or your fellow workers; Your lack of compliance with safety regulations established by your employer; or War or any act of war occurring in the U.S., its territories and possessions, or in any nation of which you are a citizen or permanent resident.

Full-time active duty in the armed forces; or Suicide or attempted suicide.

11

Claiming Benefits You or your beneficiary must notify Benefits Administration within 90 days from the date of loss in order to claim benefits. When notified, Benefits Administration will ask for the following information:    

Name and Social Security number of participant; The date of death or accidental injury; The caller's name, address, telephone number and relationship to participant; and Participant's spouse's name, address, Social Security number and birth date, if applicable.

Once this information is provided, CGLIC will process the claim. Under normal circumstances, CGLIC sends written notice of its decision on the claim within 90 days after receiving the completed forms. Sometimes, more time is needed due to special circumstances. If this is the case, the determination period can be extended for up to an additional 90 days. You or your beneficiary must be notified of the reason for the delay before the original 90-day period expires. You or your beneficiary also must be given a date as to when the claims administrator expects to make a decision.

How Benefits Are Paid Benefits are usually paid in a lump sum to your beneficiary in the event of your death, or to you in the case of a non-fatal accident. Life insurance proceeds are deposited in an interest bearing account with the insurance company and the beneficiary has the right to withdraw the proceeds as needed. In addition, the insurance company offers other settlement options such as an annuity.

When Coverage Ends All AD&D coverage ends when your employment as a regular employee ends. Coverage is available for up to 30 days during approved Leaves of Absence.

Beginning December 1, 2015, you may choose coverage equal to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight times your annualized monthly benefit pay rounded to the next higher $1,000. Certain employees who participate in the Executive Life Insurance/Death Benefit Plan are limited to choosing up to three times their annualized monthly benefit pay. Employees who participate in Family Adjustment/Family Income have a maximum of five times their annualized monthly benefit pay. The maximum coverage available for all employees is $10,000,000. As an active employee, if you have a pay change your coverage is based on your annualized monthly benefit pay beginning the first full month after the change, rather than effective with the pay change. As a retiree, you may keep your Group Universal Life coverage after retirement (please refer to Options when you retire). However, if you retire on or before December 1, 2015, your coverage level is a maximum of five times your annualized monthly benefit pay up to a maximum of $10,000,000. Example: If your annualized monthly benefit pay is $88,250 and you choose three times coverage, the benefit amount is: $88,250 x 3 = $264,750 rounded to the next higher $1,000 = $265,000

Enrollment and Changes You may enroll in, change or cancel your Group Universal Life Insurance at any time using EDA. Enrollment forms are also available from Benefits Administration for those employees who do not have access to EDA. If you: 

Enroll within 31 days of your first day of active employment, your coverage is effective as soon as your enrollment is completed on EDA or as soon as your form is received by Benefits Administration. However, payroll deductions may not begin until the first of the month following your EDA election or the receipt of the enrollment form.

13 

 

Want to increase your insurance coverage or enroll after 31 days of employment, you must provide evidence of insurability and meet MetLife's underwriting requirements. Your coverage becomes effective when your application is approved by MetLife. However, payroll deductions may not begin until the first of the month following Benefit Administration's receipt of the approval from MetLife. Lower your coverage, the change is effective the first of the month following the date your election form is received by Benefits Administration. Want to cancel your insurance coverage, coverage and payroll deductions will continue through the end of month in which your completed and signed election form is received by Benefits Administration.

Premium Payments Your contributions are made through payroll deduction, annuity deduction or direct payment to MetLife. If you choose to suspend payroll or annuity deductions at any time, premiums will be automatically deducted from your cash accumulation fund until it is depleted; thereafter, MetLife will send you a monthly bill for the cost of coverage.

Retirees with a retirement date on or before December 1, 2015, who are age 70 and older, and employees who terminate as a regular employee without retiree status are no longer eligible for this coverage under the ExxonMobil Life Insurance Plan, but may continue this coverage directly with MetLife and at rates as determined by MetLife. Retirees with a retirement date after December 1, 2015, are eligible for this coverage under the ExxonMobil Life Insurance Plan until age 95. Examples: 

Bob is 43 years old, and his annualized monthly benefit pay is $76,500. He chooses Group Universal Life Insurance of three times coverage. $76,500 x 3 = $229,500, rounded to $230,000 (230,000 divided by 1,000 = 230) x $0.05 = $11.50 monthly premium

14 

Maria is 58 years old, and her annualized monthly benefit pay is $92,800. She chooses Group Universal Life Insurance of two times coverage. $92,800 x 2 = $185,600, rounded to $186,000 (186,000 divided by 1,000 = 186) x $0.25 = $46.50 monthly premium

Benefit Amount and Premium Changes Your benefit amount automatically changes the first of the month following the effective date of a pay change. When you have a birthday that puts you into a higher age bracket, the premium will increase the first of the month of your birthday. For example, if your birthday is July 23, your premium increases on July 1.

How the Benefit Is Paid The lump sum benefit is available to your beneficiary upon your death. Life insurance proceeds are deposited in an interest bearing account with the insurance company and the beneficiary has the right to withdraw the proceeds as needed. Contact MetLife to request information on additional payment options available to your beneficiary.

Restrictions Benefits may be limited or denied if death results from a self-inflicted injury occurring within the first two years of enrolling in the Plan or increasing your level of coverage.

Accelerated Benefit Option The Accelerated Benefits Option (ABO) protects you and your family from financial loss if you’re suffering from a terminal illness. Accelerated benefits may be payable if, as a result of an injury or illness, you are diagnosed as terminally ill with no more than six months to live. The benefit amount will generally be 80% of your GUL coverage up to a maximum of $500,000 (subject to a reduction for an outstanding cash accumulation fund loan, an administrative fee and a discount factor). The specific rules regarding your state of residence will be provided in the certificate of coverage issued to you by MetLife. Accelerated Benefits will not be payable if:     

You have assigned your GUL insurance death benefit; All or a portion of your death benefit is to be paid to your former spouse as part of a divorce agreement; Your life expectancy is limited and you are expected to die within six months as the result of either attempted suicide or injuring yourself on purpose; Your insurance coverage amount is less than $10,000; or You are required by a government agency to request payment of Accelerated Benefits in order to apply for, obtain or keep a government benefit or entitlement, such as payment for long-term care in a skilled nursing facility.

The ABO is payable only once, and will reduce your GUL insurance coverage by the amount you receive in the payout. When you die, your beneficiary will receive the remaining balance of your GUL insurance benefit.

Cash Accumulation Fund GUL is a flexible life insurance option that allows you to contribute different levels of premium over time to best meet your insurance and other financial needs. You can choose to pay only the minimum necessary to cover the current cost of insurance, or you can choose to add extra premium to a cash accumulation fund. These additional premiums are subject to certain maximums which are communicated by MetLife in the coverage certificate mailed to participants. However, they permit you to take advantage of the investment benefits of GUL, for example, helping to fund future needs like college education expenses and retirement. There are tax advantages associated with making after-tax contributions to the GUL cash accumulation fund:  



Contributions to the GUL cash accumulation fund earn a minimum 3% rate of interest that is guaranteed annually by MetLife. Money in the GUL cash accumulation fund earns a competitive rate of interest on a tax-deferred basis. All contributions made to the cash fund (whether cost of insurance amounts or extra dollar amounts) are included in the GUL certificate's cost basis. If the amount of money withdrawn exceeds the cost basis (the money paid into the GUL certificate), the owner will have a taxable gain. Federal income tax is calculated on the taxable gain amount and a 1099 Form is issued. At the insured's death, money in the cash fund can automatically be added to the life insurance coverage amount, possibly increasing the total benefit to the beneficiary.

Participants have a choice of how to contribute to their GUL cash fund:  

Regular contributions through payroll deduction; or Lump sum contributions at any time (minimum of $100) directly to MetLife.

Participants have access to the money in their cash fund - for any reason - through loans and withdrawals. Withdrawals and Loans You may withdraw all or part of the cash in your fund, or you can take a loan on your fund for any reason. Withdrawals and loans are subject to the following:      

  

If you choose to withdraw a portion of your fund, it must be at least $200. The maximum withdrawal is the entire amount of money in the cash fund (less any outstanding loans). Withdrawals are limited to one per month. The minimum loan amount is $200. You may take only one loan per year, and have only one outstanding loan at a time. The interest rate on a loan is based on Moody's Corporate Bond Index, set back two months. The money you borrow continues to earn interest at 2% less than the loan interest charge rate. Loans can only be re-paid directly to MetLife, and not through payroll deductions. There is no time limit on loan repayment. Withdrawals and loans generally will be processed by MetLife within 10 business days. There may be situations where processing takes longer.

16

Contribution Limits Your contributions to the cash accumulation fund are subject to limits set by the Internal Revenue Code. Exceeding these limits could affect the tax treatment of your contributions. If this happens, MetLife will notify you and suggest alternatives which are completely separate from this Plan and are not sponsored, endorsed or recommended by ExxonMobil. The alternatives separate from this Plan have varying degrees of risk and are governed entirely by agreements between you and MetLife. Example: 



Let’s look at Bob again; he is 43 years old, and his annualized monthly benefit pay is $76,500. He chooses Group Universal Life Insurance of three times coverage and his monthly premium is $11.50. In addition, Bob elects an additional premium of $100 per month into his cash accumulation fund through EDA. As a result, $111.50 will be deducted from Bob’s paycheck each month and deposited into his cash accumulation fund. The monthly deduction includes $11.50 which will be used to pay premiums for his GUL coverage and $100 which will be saved in his cash accumulation fund.

If you have any questions regarding the cash accumulation fund, withdrawals and loans, or contribution limits, contact MetLife (see Information Sources on page 2).

Canceling Your Coverage Employees may cancel their coverage by printing and completing a form found on Employee Direct Access available on the ExxonMobil Me Intranet site or by requesting a form from ExxonMobil Benefits Administration, for those who do not have access to EDA. Any amount remaining in your cash accumulation fund (less any outstanding loans) will be returned to you. At this time, you may be responsible for paying income tax (if any) on the tax-deferred interest portion of your cash accumulation fund. For this reason, you may want to consult with your personal tax advisor first. There are no fees associated with canceling your coverage.

Options When You Retire In addition to withdrawals and loans, you have these additional options when you retire: 

Choose to Continue Your Life Coverage — You may continue to be covered under ExxonMobil Group Universal Life Insurance until age 95, however, if your retirement date is on or before December 1, 2015, your coverage will end at age 70. After you reach age 70, if you are no longer eligible to participate in the Group Universal Life option your coverage will automatically continue directly with MetLife, with premiums determined by MetLife, and your benefits will be reduced to the lesser of the current amount of the insurance (i.e., multiple of pay) or five times the value of the cash accumulation fund (minimum of $20,000). If you receive a monthly pension, your premiums are automatically deducted. If you receive no pension payment, you are billed directly by MetLife. If you do not send a payment, your premiums will be deducted from your cash accumulation fund until the fund is depleted. There is a nominal administration fee for direct billing by MetLife. At age 95, the insurance coverage with MetLife terminates, and you will need to select a distribution option for your cash accumulation fund. MetLife will provide you with these options.

17 





Elect an Annuity — You can elect an annuity using all of the money in your cash accumulation fund. The minimum contribution amount is $10,000. A variety of payout options is available, including joint and survivor benefits and a life income option. Life income products provide payments for your life with a guaranteed minimum return of at least what you paid in premium. Note that when you elect an annuity, your Group Universal Life Insurance coverage ends. Paid-up Insurance — This is insurance that you may purchase with your cash accumulation fund. It provides a benefit (minimum of $10,000) to your beneficiary when you die. Note that when you elect paid-up insurance, your Group Universal Life Insurance coverage ends. Cancel Your Coverage — You may cancel your coverage by completing a form available from Benefits Administration. Retirees who elect to cancel coverage cannot re-enroll.

Options When You Terminate Employment If you terminate employment as a regular employee, without becoming a retiree, you have all of the options described in the previous section. You will be contacted by MetLife regarding continuation of your coverage as a portable policy. If you choose to continue insurance with MetLife, your premiums are determined and billed by MetLife.

When Coverage Ends Unless you have chosen to continue your coverage as described in Options When You Retire (see page 16), your Group Universal Life Insurance through ExxonMobil ends on the earliest of the following dates:     

The end of the month in which you terminate your regular employment with the company without being a retiree. The end of the month in which you surrender (cancel) your coverage. The first of the month in which a retiree whose retirement date is on or before December 1, 2015, reaches age 70. The first of the month in which a retiree whose retirement date is after December 1, 2015, reaches age 95. When you become a suspended retiree.

You may continue coverage at rates determined by MetLife on a direct-billed basis when your coverage ends as an ExxonMobil participant.

Participant's name; The date of the injury or death; The nature of the injuries; The place the accident occurred; and A brief description of how the accident occurred.

Once Benefits Administration receives notice, MetLife will be notified of the pending claim.

MetLife has the right to examine any covered person who suffers a loss for which a claim is pending. Under normal circumstances, MetLife sends you or your beneficiary written notice of its decision on the claim within 90 days after receiving the completed claim form. Sometimes, though, more time is needed due to special circumstances. If this is the case, the determination period can be extended for up to an additional 90 days. You or your beneficiary must be notified of the reason for the delay before the original 90-day period expires. You or your beneficiary also must be given a date as to when MetLife expects to make a decision. Coverage is provided by the insurer, MetLife, who is also the claims administrator.

Choosing a Beneficiary

- Standard Beneficiaries - Naming a Beneficiary - Assigning Life Insurance (Basic Life Insurance and Group Universal Life Insurance) Retiree Coverage Administrative and ERISA Information Key Terms

A. Your beneficiary or beneficiaries receive your plan benefits.

Standard Beneficiaries This Plan has a standard list of beneficiaries. If you have not named a beneficiary and you die while you are a plan participant, your benefits are paid according to the Plan's standard designation which pays to the first of the following who survive you:     

Your spouse. Your children and the children of a child who died before you. Your parents. Your brothers, sisters and the children of a brother or sister who died before you. The executors or administrators of your estate.

For purposes of the Plan's standard beneficiary designation, your child, parent, brother or sister includes only someone who is your legitimate blood relative or whose relationship with you is established by virtue of legal adoption. For details, see Standard Beneficiary in the Key Terms section.

Naming a Beneficiary If the standard beneficiary list does not meet your needs, you may name a beneficiary to receive your plan benefits. You may change your beneficiary at any time. To name a different beneficiary, use EDA available on the ExxonMobil Me HR Intranet site. Enrollment forms are also available from Benefits Administration for those individuals who do not have access to EDA. You may name multiple beneficiaries. If you name more than one beneficiary, be sure to designate what portion of the entire benefit should be paid to each. You also need to indicate the beneficiaries' relationship to you. If you fail to designate a portion when you name multiple beneficiaries, the Plan pays benefits in equal shares to the designated beneficiaries. Benefits will only be paid to children who are born before your death.

24

If your named beneficiaries die before you, the benefit will be paid to the executors or administrators of your estate.

Assigning Life Insurance (Basic Life Insurance and Group Universal Life Insurance) You can make a gift of your life insurance to one or more people or to an organization. If you do, the person or organization who receives the gift — the assignee — becomes the owner of your insurance. As owner, the person or organization has the right to change the beneficiary designation and to continue all or part of the insurance if your insurance ends or is reduced. For Group Universal Life Insurance, the assignee may be billed for the cost of the insurance. The assignment of your insurance is irrevocable, unless the assignee reassigns it to you. You cannot regain control of the insurance without your assignee's agreement. This raises many important personal and legal issues and it has tax implications. If you are considering assigning your insurance, you should first consult with your attorney or other tax advisor. To learn more information about assigning your insurance or to request the forms you need to complete an assignment, contact Benefits Administration. You cannot assign any uninsured death benefit.

Your Rights Under ERISA As a participant in the ExxonMobil Life Insurance Plan, you have certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that as a plan participant, you shall be entitled to: Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits 





Examine, without charge, at the office of the Administrator-Benefits and at other specified locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing the ExxonMobil Life Insurance Plan, including collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the ExxonMobil Life Insurance 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 Administrator-Benefits, copies of documents governing the operation of the ExxonMobil Life Insurance Plan, including collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description. The administrator may require a reasonable charge for the copies. Receive a summary of the ExxonMobil Life Insurance Plan's annual financial report. The Administrator-Benefits is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

30

Prudent Actions By Plan Fiduciaries In addition to creating rights for participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Life Insurance Plan, called "fiduciaries" of the Life Insurance Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Life Insurance 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 plan benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. Enforce Your Rights 





If your claim for a 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 Summary Annual Report and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. Such lawsuit must be filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the federal judicial district where the employee currently works. If a retiree or terminee, the suit must be filed in the last location worked prior to termination of employment. Beneficiaries must also file in the same federal judicial district that the employee or retiree would be required to file. In such a case, the court may require the Administrator-Benefits 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 elected the death benefit option, and if you have a claim and an appeal for benefits, which are denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. Any such lawsuit must be brought within one year of the date on which an appeal was denied. Such lawsuit must be filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the federal judicial district where the employee currently works. If a retiree or terminee, the suit must be filed in the last location worked prior to termination of employment. Beneficiaries must also file in the same federal judicial district that the employee or retiree would be required to file. 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 benefits, you should contact Benefits Administration. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Administrator-Benefits, 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.
