With our carrier, OneAmerica, the coverage available to you is 1.5x pay, up to a maximum of $50,000. How to calculate the cost for Basic Life & AD&D Take your annual earnings x 1.5 (not to exceed $50,000) Take your coverage amount divided by 1,000 x $0.12 Take the total monthly cost x 50% Multiply your monthly cost x 12 then divide by 26 (up to a max of $1.38 per period for $50,000) = Your coverage amount = Total monthly cost = Your monthly cost = Your biweekly cost VOLUNTARY SUPPLEMENTAL LIFE Full-time Employee Partners may purchase Voluntary Supplemental Life insurance for themselves and their family.

For more information, including costs, go to and print the voucher or call People Strategy Benefits at Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with ClubCorp USA, Inc. and about your options under Medicare s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. ClubCorp USA, Inc. has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the BCBS of Texas plans HDHP 2000 and HDHP 3000 is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan. When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare during a seven-month initial enrollment period. That period begins three months prior to your 65th birthday, includes the month you turn 65, and continues for the ensuing three months. You may also enroll each year from October 15th through December 7th. However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan. What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current ClubCorp USA, Inc. coverage will not be affected. For most persons covered under the Plan, the Plan will pay prescription drug benefits first, and Medicare will determine its payments second. For more information about this issue of what program pays first and what program pays second, see the Plan s summary plan description or contact Medicare at the telephone number or web address listed herein. When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with ClubCorp USA, Inc. and don t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join. Important Notice from ClubCorp USA, Inc. About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare under the BCBS of Texas Plan HDHP 5000 Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with ClubCorp USA, Inc. and about your options under Medicare s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. Important Notice from ClubCorp USA, Inc. About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare under the BCBS of Texas plans HDHP 2000 and HDHP There are three important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription

11 Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. ClubCorp USA, Inc. has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the BCBS of Texas plan HDHP 5000 is, on average for all plan participants, NOT expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays. Therefore, your coverage is considered Non-Creditable Coverage. This is important because, most likely, you will get more help with your drug costs if you join a Medicare drug plan, than if you have prescription drug coverage from the ClubCorp USA, Inc. plan. This also is important because it may mean that you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you do not join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible. 3. You can keep your current coverage from ClubCorp USA, Inc. However, because your coverage is non-creditable, you have decisions to make about Medicare prescription drug coverage that may affect how much you pay for that coverage, depending on if and when you join a drug plan. When you make your decision, you should compare your current coverage, including what drugs are covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Read this notice carefully - it explains your options. When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare during a seven-month initial enrollment period. That period begins three months prior to your 65th birthday, includes the month you turn 65, and continues for the ensuing three months. You may also enroll each year from October 15th through December 7th. However, if you decide to drop your current coverage with ClubCorp USA, Inc., since it is employer/union sponsored group coverage, you will be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan; however you also may pay a higher premium (a penalty) because you did not have creditable coverage under the ClubCorp USA, Inc. plan. What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current ClubCorp USA, Inc. coverage will not be affected. For most persons covered under the Plan, the Plan will pay prescription drug benefits first, and Medicare will determine its payments second. For more information about this issue of what program pays first and what program pays second, see the Plan s summary plan description or contact Medicare at the telephone number or web address listed herein. When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? Since the coverage under ClubCorp USA, Inc. is not creditable, depending on how long you go without creditable prescription drug coverage you may pay a penalty to join a Medicare drug plan. Starting with the end of the last month that you were first eligible to join a Medicare drug plan but didn t join, if you go 63 continuous days or longer without prescription drug coverage that s creditable, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.

People Strategy 3030 LBJ Freeway, Suite #600 Dallas, TX Phone Number: Women s Health and Cancer Rights Act The Women s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 was signed into law on October 21, The Act requires that all group health plans providing medical and surgical benefits with respect to a mastectomy must provide coverage for all of the following:»» Reconstruction of the breast on which a mastectomy has been performed»» Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance»» Prostheses»» Treatment of physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedema This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions which apply for the mastectomy. For deductibles and coinsurance information applicable to the plan in which you enroll, please refer to the summary plan description or contact People Strategy Benefits at HIPAA Privacy and Security The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 deals with how an employer can enforce eligibility and enrollment for health care benefits, as well as ensuring that protected health information which identifies you is kept private. You have the right to inspect and copy protected health information that is maintained by and for the plan for enrollment, payment, claims and case management. If you feel that protected health information about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask your benefits administrator to amend the information.

If the event giving rise to your special enrollment right is a loss of coverage under Medicaid or the CHIP, you may request enrollment under this plan within 60 days of the date you or your dependent(s) lose such coverage under Medicaid or CHIP. Similarly, if you or your dependent(s) become eligible for a state-granted premium subsidy towards this plan, you may request enrollment under this plan within 60 days after the date Medicaid or CHIP determine that you or the dependent(s) qualify for the subsidy. In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact People Strategy Benefits at Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial KIDS NOW or www. insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren t already enrolled. This is called a special enrollment opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at or call EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums.

The plan (or plans) under which you have gained coverage are listed at the end of this Form, and are referred to collectively as the plan except where otherwise indicated. This notice contains important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of healthcare coverage under the plan. The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and/or to other members of your family who

14 are covered under the plan when you and/or they would otherwise lose the group health coverage. This notice gives only a summary of your COBRA continuation coverage rights. This notice generally explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect the right to receive it. For more information about your rights and obligations under the plan and under federal law, you should either review the plan s Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan Administrator. In some cases the plan document also serves as the Summary Plan Description. You may have other options available to you when you lose group coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse s plan), even if that plan generally doesn t accept late enrollees. COBRA Continuation Coverage and Qualifying Events COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of plan coverage when coverage would otherwise end because of a life event known as a qualifying event. Specific qualifying events are listed later in this notice. COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a qualified beneficiary. A qualified beneficiary is someone who will lose coverage under the plan because of a qualifying event. Depending on the type of qualifying event, employees, spouses of employees, and eligible children of employees may be qualified beneficiaries. Certain newborns, newly-adopted children and alternate recipients under qualified medical child support orders may also be qualified beneficiaries. This is discussed in more detail in separate paragraphs below. Under the plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA continuation coverage must pay for this continuation coverage. If you are a covered employee, you will become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the plan because either one of the following qualifying events happens: Your hours of employment are reduced, or Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct. If you are the spouse of a covered employee, you will become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the plan because any of the following qualifying events happens: Your spouse dies; Your spouse s hours of employment are reduced; Your spouse s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; Your spouse becomes enrolled in any part or all of Medicare (under Part A, Part B, Part C, or all); or You become divorced or legally separated from your spouse. Note that if your spouse cancels your coverage in anticipation of a divorce or legal separation and a divorce or legal separation later occurs, then the divorce or legal separation will be considered a qualifying event even though you actually lost coverage earlier. If you notify the Plan Administrator or its designee within 60 days after the divorce or legal separation and can establish that the employee canceled the coverage earlier in anticipation of the divorce or legal separation, then COBRA coverage may be available for a period after the divorce (but not for the period between the date your coverage ended, and the date of divorce or legal separation). But you must provide timely notice of the divorce or legal separation to the Plan Administrator or its designee or you will not be able to obtain COBRA coverage after the divorce or legal separation. See the rules in the box below, under the heading entitled, Notice Requirements, regarding the obligation to provide notice, and the procedures for doing so. Your covered eligible children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the plan because any of the following qualifying events happens: The parent-employee dies; The parent-employee s hours of employment are reduced; The parent-employee s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; The parent-employee becomes enrolled in any part or all of Medicare (Part A, Part B, Part C, or all); The parents become divorced or legally separated; or The child stops being eligible for coverage under the plan as an eligible child. Notice Requirements The plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator or its designee has been timely notified that a qualifying event has occurred. When the qualifying event is: the end of employment or reduction of hours of employment, death of the employee, or enrollment of the employee in any part of Medicare (under Part A, Part B, or both), the employer (if the employer is not the Plan Administrator) must notify the Plan Administrator of the qualifying event within 30 days following the date coverage ends. IMPORTANT: For the other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the employee and spouse or an eligible child s losing eligibility for coverage as an eligible child), you or someone on your behalf must notify the Plan Administrator or its designee in writing within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs, using the procedures specified below. If these procedures are not followed or if the notice is not provided in writing to the Plan Administrator or its designee during the 60-day notice period, any spouse or eligible child who loses coverage will not be offered the option to elect continuation coverage. NOTICE PROCEDURES: Any notice that you provide must be in writing. Oral notice, including notice by telephone, is not acceptable. You must mail, fax or hand-deliver your notice to the person, department, or firm listed below, at the following address: ClubCorp USA, Inc Attn: ClubCorp Benefits 3030 LBJ Freeway, Suite #600 Dallas, TX If mailed, your notice must be postmarked no later than the last day of the required notice period. Any notice you provide must state: the name of the plan or plans under which you lost or are losing coverage, the name and address of the employee covered under the plan, the name(s) and address(es) of the qualified beneficiary(ies), and the qualifying event and the date it happened. If the qualifying event is a divorce or legal separation, your notice must include a copy of the divorce decree or the legal separation agreement. There are other notice requirements in other contexts. See, for example, the discussion below under the heading entitled, Duration of COBRA Coverage. That explanation describes other situations where notice from you or the qualified beneficiary is required in order to gain the right to COBRA coverage. Once the Plan Administrator or its designee receives timely notice that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA continuation coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA continuation coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA continuation coverage for their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their children. For each qualified beneficiary who elects COBRA continuation coverage, COBRA continuation coverage will begin on the date that plan coverage would otherwise have been lost. If you or your spouse or eligible children do not elect continuation coverage within the 60-day election period described above, you will lose your right to elect continuation coverage. Duration of COBRA Coverage COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage. When the qualifying event is the death of the employee, enrollment of the employee in any part or all of Medicare (Part A, Part B, Part C, or all), your divorce or legal separation, or an eligible child losing eligibility as an eligible child, COBRA continuation coverage lasts for up to 36 months. When the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduction of the employee s hours of employment, COBRA continuation coverage lasts for up to 18 months. There are three ways in which the period of COBRA continuation coverage can be extended : 1. Disability extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage. If you or anyone in your family covered under the plan is determined by the Social Security Administration to be disabled as of the date of the qualifying event or at any time during the first 60 days of COBRA continuation coverage and you notify the Plan Administrator or its designee in writing and in a timely fashion, you and your entire family can receive up to an additional 11 months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a total maximum of 29 months. 14

15 You must make sure that the Plan Administrator or its designee is notified in writing of the Social Security Administration s determination within 60 days after (i) of the date of the determination or (ii) the date of the qualifying event or (iii) the date coverage is lost due to the qualifying event, whichever occurs last. But in any event the notice must be provided before the end of the 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage. The plan requires you to follow the procedures specified in the box above, under the heading entitled Notice Procedures. In addition, your notice must include the name of the disabled qualified beneficiary, the date that the qualified beneficiary became disabled, and the date that the Social Security Administration made its determination. Your notice must also include a copy of the Social Security Administration s determination. If these procedures are not followed or if the notice is not provided in writing to the Plan Administrator or its designee within the required period, then there will be no disability extension of COBRA continuation coverage. 2. Second qualifying event extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage. If your family experiences another qualifying event while receiving COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and eligible children in your family can get additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, up to a maximum of 36 months (including the initial period of COBRA coverage). This extension is available to the spouse and eligible children if, while they and the covered former employee are purchasing COBRA coverage, the former employee: dies, enrolls in any part or all of Medicare (Part A, Part B, Part C, or all), or gets divorced or legally separated The extension is also available to an eligible child when that child stops being eligible under the plan as an eligible child. In all of these cases, you must make sure that the Plan Administrator or its designee is notified in writing of the second qualifying event within 60 days after (i) the date of the second qualifying event or (ii) the date coverage is lost, whichever occurs last. The plan requires you to follow the procedures specified in the box above, under the heading entitled Notice Procedures. Your notice must also name the second qualifying event and the date it happened. If the second qualifying event is a divorce or legal separation, your notice must include a copy of the divorce decree or legal separation agreement. If these procedures are not followed or if the notice is not provided in writing to the Plan Administrator or its designee within the required 60-day period, then there will be no extension of COBRA continuation coverage due to the second qualifying event. 3. Medicare Extension for Spouse and Eligible Children. If a qualifying event that is a termination of employment or reduction of hours occurs within 18 months after the covered employee becomes entitled to any part or all of Medicare (Part A, Part B, Part C, or all), then the maximum coverage period for the spouse and eligible children is 36 months from the date the employee became entitled to Medicare (Part A, Part B, Part C, or all) - but the covered employee s maximum coverage period will be 18 months. Other Rules and Requirements Same Rights as Active Employees to Add New Dependents. A qualified beneficiary generally has the same rights as similarly situated active employees to add or drop dependents, make enrollment changes during open enrollment, etc. Contact the Plan Administrator for more information. See also the paragraph below titled, Children Born or Placed for Adoption with the Covered Employee During COBRA Period, for information about how certain children acquired by a covered employee purchasing COBRA coverage may actually be treated as qualified beneficiaries themselves. Be sure to promptly notify the Plan Administrator or its designee if you need to make a change to your COBRA coverage. or former employee is a qualified beneficiary, the employee has elected COBRA continuation coverage for himself or herself. The child s COBRA coverage begins when the child is enrolled in the plan, whether through special enrollment or open enrollment, and it lasts for as long as COBRA coverage lasts for other family members of the employee. To be enrolled in the plan, the child must satisfy the otherwise applicable plan eligibility requirements (for example, age requirements). Be sure to promptly notify the Plan Administrator or its designee if you need to make a change to your COBRA coverage. The Plan Administrator or its designee must be notified in writing within 30 days of the date you wish to make such a change. See the rules in the box above, under the heading entitled, Notice Procedures, for an explanation regarding how your notice should be made. Alternate Recipients Under Qualified Medical Child Support Orders. A child of the covered employee or former employee who is receiving benefits under the plan pursuant to a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) received by the Plan Administrator during the employee s period of employment with the employer is entitled the same rights under COBRA as an eligible child of the covered employee, regardless of whether that child would otherwise be considered a dependent. Be sure to promptly notify the Plan Administrator or its designee if you need to make a change to your COBRA coverage. The Plan Administrator or its designee must be notified in writing within 30 days of the date you wish to make such a change. See the rules in the box above, under the heading entitled, Notice Procedures, for an explanation regarding how your notice should be made.
