Aetna bills Optional Life Insurance on an age graded basis. It is expected that employee deductions
will be taken based on these rates and aggregate insured volume will be reported monthly for each
5-year age bracket.The proposed rates may be subject to imputed income under Section 79 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Please consult your tax counsel on this matter.
*A census with final enrollments should be submitted to Aetna prior to the effective date;however,it must be provided
rio later than 30 days after the enrollment date.The final rates may be subject to change based on our review of the

enrolled status.
Aetna will issue or renew a single group life policy providing for basic and supplemental coverage if our quote is
accepted.In setting the rates,we first determined the premium that would be required for basic and supplemental
coverage if each were offered on a stand-alone basis,to determine a total overall premium for the policy. Then in
order to align with your current rate structure,we will underwrite based on the same.total overall premium,and
adjust the stand-alone premiums by increasing the employee-paid supplemental.premium and decreasing the
employer-paid basic premium if you direct us to do so.By accepting our quote,you are giving us that direction and are
representing to us that(1)both basic and supplemental coverage are offered under a single ERISA-covered welfare
benefit plan,and(2)Your plan design and employee communications support the allocation of premium between
basic and supplemental coverage,and(3)this premium arrangement as applied to your plan is in compliance with
ERISA.You also acknowledge that Aetna offers to provide you with a premium quote for this policy where basic and
supplemental coverage are set independently and without reference to each other.
