You must give instructions to the person(s) listed in the final
section of this document as to how you want your retirement plan
dollars invested. Your Employer will provide you with a Pension
Investment Fund Selection Worksheet to use for this purpose or will
provide written instructions regarding other ways to select investments.
There are two types of assets for which you may provide investment
instructions: current contributions and accumulated balances. You may
change investment instructions for your current contributions daily,
quarterly, semi-annually or annually. (Select the frequency that your
plan allows participants to change their current investment
election/change future allocations. Be sure to delete the options that
don't apply.) You may change investment balances daily, quarterly,
semi-annually or annually which may be subject to market timing
policies. (Select how often your participants are allowed to transfer
accumulated balances. If you are using a daily valuation system, this
most likely will be daily; otherwise it may coincide with the frequency
selected in the previous sentence. Check your internal procedures to
verify this information. Be sure to delete the options that don’t apply.)
To make changes in your investment instructions you may use Lincoln
Financial Group's toll-free access which is available from 8 a.m. to 8
p.m. ET Monday through Friday. If you call before 4:00 p.m. ET, on a
business day, your transaction will be effective at the close of that day.
If you call after 4:00 p.m. ET, your transaction will be effective at the
close of the following business day. This toll-free line is for your
convenience and privacy only. Please note that this line may be busy
during times of unusually high transfer activity.
A second way to submit changes in your investment instructions is
Lincoln Financial Group’s participant Web site. The site will help you
walk through the steps to make changes to your account. After making
your changes, the screen will show you the effective date of your
transaction.

of: (Please review your contract for the following items and delete any

termination of employment, retirement, death or disability are
