10 About Your Benefits 10 Changes in Cost of Coverage In addition, if there is a significant change in the cost of coverage of a benefit option, you may be entitled to make a corresponding change in your election (except with respect to the health care spending account). If a new benefit option is added or significantly improved or curtailed by the Company or by your Dependent s employer, you may be permitted to make a corresponding new election. If annual enrollment for your spouse is for a period of coverage other than the calendar year, you may be permitted to make a corresponding election change under the Company s medical benefit during your spouse s enrollment period.

If you contribute to the dependent care spending account, and there is a significant increase or decrease in the cost of services by a day care provider who is not your relative, you may be able to make corresponding changes to your contribution election for your dependent care spending account by submitting a new election within 31 days.
