Part I: Information about the Plan 1. What is the Henry M. Jackson Foundation Defined Contribution Retirement Plan? The Henry M. Jackson Foundation Retirement Plan (the Plan ) is a defined contribution plan that operates under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan was established on January 1, 1985. The purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement benefits for participating employees. Plan benefits are provided through Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA) and College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF) (TIAA-CREF). More information about the Plan provider may be found in Section 29 Who is the Provider under the Plan?. 2. Who is eligible to participate in the Plan? All eligible employees of The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. (the Foundation or Employer ) can make employee contributions to the Plan. Eligible employee means all individuals classified by the Employer as employees, who normally work 20 or more hours per week for the Employer, excluding non-resident aliens who receive no earned income within the meaning of Code Section 911(d)(2) from the Employer. For this purpose, an employee is considered to work less than 20 hours a week if (a) for the 12-month period beginning on the date the employee's employment commences, the Foundation expects the employee to work fewer than 1,000 Hours of Service in such period; and (b) for the 12-month period beginning on the date the employee s employment commences, and in each calendar year beginning after commencement of employment, the employee was credited with fewer than 1,000 Hours of Service. Individuals deemed by the Plan Administrator to be independent contractors are not eligible to participate in the Plan in any event. If an individual is classified as an independent contractor by the Plan Administrator, such individual will be deemed to be ineligible, even if the individual later is determined to be a common law employee pursuant to a government audit or litigation. 3. When do I become eligible to participate in the Plan? If you are an eligible employee when you are hired, you may elect to participate immediately. You will be automatically enrolled in the Plan as of the first pay period occurring at least 31 days after you begin employment (or as soon as practicable thereafter), unless you affirmatively elect not to participate. If you are not an eligible employee when you are hired, and later become eligible, you will participate only if you make an affirmative election. You will not be automatically enrolled. 4. How are employee contributions to the Plan made? You will be enrolled automatically in the Plan to make employee contributions at a rate of 3% of your eligible pay if you do not make an affirmative election otherwise. This means that before-tax contributions will be deducted from your paycheck automatically and contributed to an account maintained on your behalf in the Plan. As described in Section 5 below, you will be given an opportunity to make an affirmative election to change or not make any contributions but if you do not, these automatic contributions will begin with the first pay period following the 31 st day of employment (or as soon as practicable thereafter). Your automatic before-tax contributions may be matched by the Foundation as described in Section 8 "What contributions will be made?" in this summary. 5. How do I elect not to participate or to change the amount I contribute? If you are a new employee, you may elect not to participate in the Plan, or to choose your own level of contributions by going online to www.tiaa-cref.org/hjf. In order to prevent any automatic contributions from being deducted from your paycheck, or to elect a different rate of contribution, you must make this election within thirty-one (31) days of becoming eligible to participate. You can make an election at any later time, but it will be prospective only. 11008589 5/1/17 1

If you are an existing eligible employee, you will receive the Annual Enrollment Notice each year at least 30 days before the start of the Plan Year. The notification will explain that you may opt out of the Plan at any time by going online to www.tiaa-cref.org/hjf. If you make an affirmative election to participate, your election will become effective with the next pay period after your election, or as soon thereafter as administratively feasible. If you do not file an investment election directing the Plan to invest your contributions among the investment funds available under the Plan, contributions made to the Plan on your behalf, including your automatic contributions and employer matching contributions, will be invested in the default investment fund which is described in the Annual Enrollment Notice. If you have any questions, please contact the Plan Administrator at the address below. 6. May I withdraw my automatic contributions if I do not elect out of automatic enrollment within the 31-day window? If you are automatically enrolled, you have a one-time opportunity to withdraw your salary deferral contributions, along with earnings or losses, by going online to www.tiaa-cref.org/hjf no later than 90 days after the date your contributions were first deducted from your paycheck (when you were first automatically enrolled). If you make such an election, you will be treated as electing not to participate in the Plan, and any employer matching contributions will be forfeited. However, at any time, you may elect to make contributions to the Plan, as described under the "What contributions will be made?" section below. 7. How do I determine if I am eligible to participate in the Plan? TIAA-CREF will notify you when you've completed the requirements needed to participate in the Plan, or if you are enrolled automatically. All determinations about eligibility and participation will be made by the Employer. You will continue to be eligible for the Plan until one of the following conditions occur: you stop contributing to the Plan; you cease to be an eligible employee; or the Plan is terminated. The enrollment should be completed online at www.tiaa-cref.org/hjf. 8. What contributions will be made? There are two types of contributions that are made to the Plan: Employee contributions and employer matching contributions. A. Employee contributions Employee contributions made by you on a before-tax basis will be made in accordance with your online enrollment at www.tiaa-cref.org/hjf or pursuant to automatic enrollment unless you affirmatively elect not to participate. Your salary paid after you self-enroll or you are automatically enrolled is reduced and the amount of the reduction is applied as contributions to one or more of the funding vehicles you select that are available under this Plan. You may terminate your enrollment as soon as administratively feasible at any time by completing the proper form online at www.tiaa-cref.org/hjf. Your ability to modify your enrollment may be subject to such reasonable restrictions as established by the Plan Administrator. Your enrollment will be legally binding and irrevocable with respect to salary paid while the enrollment is in effect. 11008589 5/1/17 2

B. Employer Matching Contributions Employer matching contributions are made for all eligible employees who make employee contributions for a specific payroll period, as follows: Plan Contributions Years of Service Employer Matching Contribution Percentage Employee Contribution Percentage that Will Be Matched Less than 5 years 100% 1% - 5% 5 years but less than 10 150% 1% - 5% 10 years or more 200% 1% - 5% Example: A participant is making a 3% employee contribution each pay period. The employee has 4 years of service. The employer matching contribution each pay period will be 100% of 3% of eligible compensation, so that the employee's aggregate plan contribution is 6% (3% salary reduction and 3% employer match). 9. What is included in "Compensation"? Compensation means total compensation paid by the Employer in the form of regular paychecks, including, for example, shift-time differential and overtime pay, but excluding reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), moving expenses, deferred compensation, and welfare benefits as well as excluding amounts paid by special checks such as bonuses, taxable executive compensation contributions, and accrued vacation pay paid upon termination of employment. With some exceptions, "Compensation" does not include compensation paid after termination of employment. Compensation includes amounts that are not currently included in your gross income because of the application of IRC Sections 125, 403(b) or 457 through a salary reduction agreement. Compensation also includes qualified transportation fringe benefit amounts, if any, not included in income because of IRC Section 132(f)(4). Compensation taken into account under the Plan cannot exceed the limits of IRC Section 401(a)(17). The limit under Section 401(a)(17) is $270,000 (for 2017, subject to future inflation adjustments). 10. Is there a limit on contributions? Yes. The total amount of contributions made on your behalf for any Plan Year, both salary reduction and employer matching contributions combined, will not exceed the lesser of (a) $54,000 (for 2017, subject to future inflation adjustments), or (b) 100% of your includable compensation (as defined by the IRS). The amount of employer matching contributions will also be subject to certain nondiscrimination requirements if you are a highly compensated employee. For more information on these limits, contact your Plan Administrator or fund sponsor. In addition, employee contributions to this Plan will be further limited by IRC Section 402(g) limit, which is $18,000 (for 2017, subject to future inflation adjustments). If you have attained or will attain age 50 during the Plan Year, you may also make a contribution of up to an additional $6,000 (for 2017, subject to future inflation adjustments). If you have made employee contributions that exceed these limits, the excess will be distributed to you by April 15. If you have exceeded these limits due to employee contributions to a plan sponsored by another employer, you are responsible for notifying the Plan Administrator by March 1 following the year of the excess contributions. 11. Do contributions continue during a paid leave of absence? During a paid leave of absence, Plan contributions will continue to be made based on your compensation paid during your leave of absence, provided that you receive payment directly from the Foundation. No contributions will be made during an unpaid leave of absence. 11008589 5/1/17 3

12. Do contributions continue while I'm on active duty in the Armed Forces? During your absence, Plan contributions will be made for any time period that you receive payment for compensation directly from the Foundation. If you are an employee of the Foundation and go on military leave under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), if you return to actual employment with the Foundation, you may have the opportunity to make up your missing contributions, and the Foundation will match accordingly, subject to the requirements of USERRA. No adjustments to contributions will be made for interest or market value changes. 13. When do Plan contributions become vested (i.e., owned by me)? You are fully and immediately vested in all contributions to the Plan both salary reduction and employer matching contributions. 14. How are years of service counted for purposes of determining my employer matching contribution level? As described in Item 8, your employer matching contribution level is determined based on your years of service with the Foundation. For this purpose, you are credited with all of the time that you have worked at the Foundation. If your employment with the Foundation was terminated and you were rehired, each of the full months that you worked prior to termination shall be added to the months of service that you have worked since your reemployment. 15. What is the normal retirement age under the Plan? The normal retirement age under the Plan is age 65. 16. When may I receive a distribution, or begin receiving retirement income? You may receive a distribution, or begin receiving retirement income, when you attain age 59-1/2, terminate employment, die or become disabled. Retirement benefits must normally begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which you attain age 70-1/2, or, if later, April 1 following the calendar year in which you retire. Failure to begin annuity income or distributions by the required beginning date may subject you to a substantial federal tax penalty. If you die before the distribution of benefits has begun, your entire interest must normally be distributed by December 31 of the fifth calendar year after your death. Under a special rule, death benefits may be payable over the life or life expectancy of a designated beneficiary if the distribution of benefits begins not later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of your death. If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the commencement of benefits may be deferred until December 31 of the calendar year that you would have attained age 70-1/2 had you continued to live. The payment of benefits according to the above rules is extremely important. Federal tax law imposes a 50% excise tax on the difference between the amount of benefits required by law to be distributed and the amount actually distributed if it is less than the required minimum amount. 17. What options are available for receiving retirement income? You may choose from among several income options when you retire. However, if you are married, your right to choose an income option is subject to your spouse's right (under federal pension law) to survivor benefits as discussed in the next question, unless this right is waived by you and your spouse. The following income options may be available, depending on your funding vehicle: Single Life Annuity Joint and Survivor Annuity Cash Withdrawals Fixed Period Annuities Retirement Transition Benefit 11008589 5/1/17 4

Repurchase Any other annuity and withdrawal options as provided by your contract with the Plan provider 18. What are my spouse's rights under this Plan to survivor benefits? If you are married and receive benefits during your lifetime, your benefit will be paid to you in the form of a joint and survivor annuity (with a 50% or 75% survivor benefit), unless you elect a different form of payment and your spouse consents (in accordance with Plan requirements). A waiver of the joint and survivor annuity may be made only during the 180-day period before the commencement of benefits during your lifetime. The waiver also may be revoked during the same period. It may not be revoked after a lump sum distribution is made or annuity income begins. If you are married and die before receiving benefits, your surviving spouse will receive your account, payable in a single sum or under one of the income options offered by TIAA-CREF (pre-retirement survivor annuity), unless you have selected a different beneficiary and your spouse consents (in accordance with Plan requirements). The period during which you may elect to waive the pre-retirement survivor benefit begins on the first day of the Plan year in which you attain age 35. The period continues until the earlier of your death or the date you start receiving annuity income. If you die before attaining age 35, that is, before you've had the option to make a waiver, the full current value of the annuity accumulation is payable automatically to your surviving spouse in a single sum, or under one of the income options offered by the fund sponsor. If you terminate employment before age 35, the period for waiving the pre-retirement survivor benefit begins no later than the date of termination. The waiver also may be revoked during the same period. If you are married, benefits must be paid to you as described above, unless your written waiver of the benefits and your spouse's written consent to the waiver is filed with TIAA-CREF on a form and in a manner approved by TIAA- CREF. All spousal consents must be in writing, either notarized or witnessed by a Plan representative, and contain an acknowledgment by your spouse as to the effect of the consent. All such consents shall be irrevocable. A spousal consent is not required if you can establish to the Foundation's satisfaction that you have no spouse or that he or she cannot be located. Unless a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), as defined in Code Section 414(p), requires otherwise, your spouse's consent shall not be required if you are legally separated or you have been abandoned (within the meaning of local law) and you have a court order to such effect. The spousal consent must specifically designate the beneficiary or otherwise expressly permit designation of the beneficiary by you without any further consent by your spouse. If a designated beneficiary dies, unless the express right to designate a new one has been consented to, a new consent is necessary. A consent to an alternative form of benefit must either specify a specific form or expressly permit designation by you without further consent. A consent is only valid so long as your spouse at the time of your death, or earlier benefit commencement, is the same person as the one who signed the consent. If a QDRO establishes the rights of another person to your benefits under this Plan, then payments will be made according to that order. A QDRO may preempt the usual requirements that your spouse be considered your primary beneficiary for a portion of the accumulation. If you have no surviving spouse, or if your surviving spouse has provided a consent that conforms to the requirements of the Plan, then your vested account balance will be payable to your designated beneficiary. 19. Is there a way I can receive income while preserving my accumulation? Yes, subject to your spouse's rights to survivor benefits, for Plan participants between ages 55 and 69-1/2 with a TIAA Traditional Annuity accumulation of at least $10,000. Under the TIAA Interest Payment Retirement Option (IPRO), you will receive monthly payments equal to the interest (guaranteed plus dividends) that would otherwise be credited to your TIAA Traditional Annuity. Payments will be made at the end of each month. Your accumulation is not reduced while you are receiving interest payments. 11008589 5/1/17 5

Payments under the IPRO will consist of the contractual interest rate plus dividends as declared by TIAA's Board of Trustees. Dividends are declared each March for the following 12-month period and are not guaranteed after the 12- month period has expired. If you elect the IPRO, these rates will be used to determine your monthly payment rather than be credited to your annuities. Interest payments made under the IPRO must continue for at least 12 months. Once you start receiving interest income payments, you must continue receiving them until you begin receiving your accumulation under an annuity income option. Usually, you may delay beginning your annuity income benefits as late as permitted under federal law. When you do begin annuity income from your TIAA Traditional Annuity accumulation, you may choose any of the lifetime annuity income options available under your TIAA contract. If you die while receiving interest payments under the IPRO, your beneficiary will receive the amount of your starting accumulation, plus interest earned but not yet paid. If you die after you've begun receiving your accumulation as an annuity, your beneficiary will receive the benefits provided under the annuity income option you've selected. 20. May I receive a portion of my income in a single payment after termination of employment? Yes, subject to your spouse's rights to survivor benefits, you may receive a portion of your income in a single sum after termination of employment if you choose the Retirement Transition Benefit option to accompany your annuity election. This option lets you receive a one-sum payment of up to 10% of your TIAA and CREF accumulations at the time you start to receive your income as an annuity. The one-sum payment cannot exceed 10% of each account's accumulation then being converted to annuity payments. If at the time of distribution, your total account is less than $1,000 ($5,000 after age 65), the account may be automatically distributed to you in a lump sum. 21. May I receive benefits for a fixed period after termination of employment? Yes, subject to your spouse's rights to survivor benefits, you may receive benefits for a fixed period after termination of employment. For your CREF and the TIAA Real Estate Account accumulations, the fixed-period option pays you an income over a fixed period of between two and 30 years. For your TIAA Traditional Annuity accumulations, you may receive benefits over a 10-year period under the Transfer Payout Annuity (TPA). At the end of the selected period, all benefits will end. If you die during the period, payments will continue in the same amount to your beneficiary for the duration. Tax law requires that the period you choose not exceed your life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of you and your beneficiary. 22. May I receive a cash withdrawal from the Plan after termination of employment? Yes, subject to your spouse's rights to survivor benefits, you may receive all of your CREF and the TIAA Real Estate Account accumulations as a cash withdrawal after you terminate employment. TIAA Traditional Annuity accumulations may be received only through the Transfer Payout Annuity (TPA), in substantially equal annual payments over a period of 10 years after you terminate employment. Payments made under the TPA are subject to the terms of that contract. You can elect to receive your cash withdrawal of accumulations through a series of systematic payments using TIAA-CREF's Systematic Withdrawal service. This service allows you to specify the amount and frequency of payments. Currently, the initial amount must be at least $100 per account. Once payments begin, they will continue for the period you specify. You can change the amount and frequency of payments, as well as stop and restart payments, as your needs dictate. There is no charge for this service. 11008589 5/1/17 6

23. If I only have a small accumulation in my TIAA-CREF contracts after termination of employment, may I repurchase my accumulation and receive it in a single sum? Yes, subject to your spouse's rights to survivor benefits, you may be able to repurchase your TIAA-CREF Retirement Annuities (RAs) in a single sum provided you have terminated employment. In addition, all of the following conditions must apply at the time you request a repurchase: 1. The total TIAA Traditional Annuity accumulation in all your RAs (including contributions to RAs under plans of other employers) is $2,000 or less. 2. You don't have a TIAA Transfer Payout Annuity (TPA). Amounts paid to you upon repurchase will be in full satisfaction of your rights and your spouse's rights to retirement or survivor benefits from TIAA-CREF on such amounts. Also, as explained earlier, you may elect to receive a cash withdrawal of your CREF and the TIAA Real Estate Account accumulations when you terminate employment from the Foundation. 24. May I receive a cash withdrawal from the Plan while still employed? Yes, you can receive a cash withdrawal while you are employed provided you are age 59-1/2 or older or if you are disabled, as determined by the Plan Administrator. 25. How do I take a loan from the Plan? A. Loan Applications. 1. Loans are only available to current Foundation employees who are Plan participants. 2. Loan applications may be made by completing an online application on tiaa-cred.org/hjf. 3. If you are married at the time you request the loan, a notarized written spousal consent is required before a Plan participant may obtain a Plan loan. Loaned amounts will be prorated from all your Plan investments. 4. Loan repayments will be made to the same contribution type from which the loan was made. 5. Loan checks will be issued as soon as possible after the loan application is approved. 6. A Plan participant may not have more than two loans outstanding at any time. B. Loan Amounts and Interest: 1. The minimum amount that may be borrowed is $1,000 unless the loan is for the purchase of a principal residence. If the loan is for the purchase of a principal residence and has a repayment term longer than five years, the minimum amount that may be borrowed is $5,000. 2. The maximum amount that may be borrowed is the lesser of (a) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance of loans during the one-year period ending on the day before the new loan is made, or (b) one-half of the Borrower s account reduced by any outstanding loan balance on the date a new loan is made. 3. TIAA-CREF will set the interest rate for loans. Current rates are available by contacting TIAA-CREF. 4. Interest will begin to accrue immediately following the date on which the loan is processed. 26. How do I pay back a Plan Loan? A. Length and Manner of Repayment: 1. Substantially level repayments will be made by payroll deduction from the Borrower s bi-weekly paycheck. 2. The first payment will be due approximately 90 days after the loan is made. 3. Loans obtained for reasons other than the purchase of a principal residence will have a maximum repayment term of five years from the date the Loan is made (not the date repayment starts). 4. Principal residence loans will have a maximum repayment term of ten years from the date the Loan is made. 5. A Borrower has the right to prepay his or her loan at any time prior to maturity by sending a certified check directly to TIAA-CREF. 11008589 5/1/17 7

6. Upon termination/separation from employment with HJF, all outstanding loan amounts must be repaid in full within 90 days following employment termination or a Borrower will be treated as in default. B. Military Service 1. Repayment of loans may be suspended for any period during which a Borrower is performing qualified service in the uniformed services. 2. To satisfy the loan repayment requirements, loan repayments must resume upon completion of the military service, and the frequency and the amount of each installment payment upon resumption will not be less than the frequency and amount under the terms of the original loan. C. Termination of Employment 1. If a Borrower s employment is terminated for any reason, including death, the remaining unpaid loan balance will become immediately due and payable after the termination occurs. 2. Any unpaid loan balance will be included as a taxable distribution and reported on a Form 1099-R. D. Defaults And Remedies 1. For current employees, a Loan will be declared in default if a payment remains unpaid for more than 90 days. 2. For terminated/separated employees, a Loan will be declared in default if not paid in full within 90 days following employment termination. 3. Once the loan is declared in default, the entire unpaid principal balance will be reported to the IRS as taxable. It will be subject to regular income taxes as well as any penalties. 27. May I roll over my accumulations? If you are entitled to receive a distribution from your account which is an eligible rollover distribution, you may roll over all or a portion of it either directly or within 60 days after receipt into another Section 403(b) retirement plan, a qualified retirement plan described in Section 401(a) or Section 403(a), an eligible governmental plan described in Section 457(b), or an IRA, including a Roth IRA (which will be treated as a taxable Roth conversion). An eligible rollover distribution, in general, is any cash distribution other than an annuity payment, a minimum distribution payment or a payment which is part of a fixed period payment over ten or more years; or distributions made on account of hardship. The distribution will be subject to a 20% federal withholding tax, and possibly state withholding tax, unless it's rolled over directly into another retirement plan or into an IRA; this process is called a direct rollover. If you have the distribution paid to you, then 20% of the distribution must be withheld for federal taxes (and possibly an additional amount for state taxes) even if you intend to roll over the money into another retirement plan or into an IRA within 60 days. To avoid withholding, instruct the fund sponsor to directly roll over the money for you. If a distribution is made to a Participant's beneficiary who is not the Participant's spouse that would be an eligible rollover distribution if it were made to a spousal beneficiary, the non-spouse beneficiary may elect to directly transfer the distribution to an IRA that will be treated as an inherited IRA of the non-spouse beneficiary. The Employer and its employees and agents are not responsible for assuring that a non-spouse beneficiary is eligible to make such a rollover. 28. What if I die before starting to receive benefits? Payments of your account balance will be made to your surviving spouse, or if there is no surviving spouse, or if the surviving spouse has consented in a manner in accordance with the Plan, then to the participant's designated beneficiary. The account balance shall be adjusted for gains and losses occurring after the Participant's death in accordance with the provisions of the Plan governing the adjustment of account balances for other types of distributions. 11008589 5/1/17 8

If you die before beginning retirement benefits, the full current value of your annuity accumulation is payable as a death benefit. You may choose one or more of the options listed in your annuity contracts for payment of the death benefit, or you may leave the choice to your beneficiary. The payment options include: Income for the lifetime of the beneficiary with payments ceasing at his or her death. Income for the lifetime of the beneficiary, with a minimum period of payments of either 10, 15, or 20 years, as selected. Income for a fixed period of not less than two nor more than 30 years for CREF and TIAA Real Estate Account accumulations, as elected, but not longer than the life expectancy of the beneficiary. A single sum payment. A minimum distribution option. This option pays the required federal minimum distribution each year. The accumulation may be left on deposit, for up to one year, for later payment under any of the options. Federal tax law puts limitations on when and how beneficiaries receive their death benefits. TIAA-CREF will notify your beneficiary of the applicable requirements at the time he or she applies for benefits. You should review your beneficiary designation periodically to make sure the person you want to receive the benefits is properly designated. You may change your beneficiary online at www.tiaa-cref.org/hjf. If you die without having named a beneficiary and you are married at the time of your death, your spouse will receive your accumulation. If you have not named a beneficiary and you are not married, your estate will receive your accumulation. In addition, see the answer to the question What are my spouse's rights under this Plan to survivor benefits? for a discussion of your spouse's rights to a survivor benefit if you are married at the time of your death. 11008589 5/1/17 9

Part III: Additional Information 30. How is the Plan administered? Benefits under the Plan are provided by TIAA-CREF. The Foundation is the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator is responsible for notifying TIAA-CREF once a new employee has become eligible and forwarding Plan contributions for each participant to TIAA-CREF, and performing other duties required for operating the Plan. 31. May the terms of the Plan be changed? While it is expected that the Plan will continue indefinitely, the Foundation reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Plan at any time. The Foundation, by action of its Board, also may delegate any of its power and duties with respect to the Plan or its amendments to one or more officers or other employees of the Foundation. 32. How do I get more information about the Plan? Requests for information about the Plan and its terms, conditions and interpretations including eligibility, participation, contributions, or other aspects of operating the Plan should be in writing and directed to: The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. 6720-A Rockledge Dr. Suite 100 Bethesda, Maryland 20817 Attn: Benefits Administrator Benefits Phone: 240-694-4006 or 888-432-5224 33. What is the Plan's claims procedure? The following rules describe the claims procedure under the Plan: Filing a claim for benefits: A claim is considered filed when a written communication requesting payment of benefits is made to: The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc., Attention: Benefits Administrator, 6720-A Rockledge Dr., Suite 100, Bethesda, MD 20817. Processing the claim: The Plan Administrator must process the claim within 90 days after the claim is filed (45 days if the claim involves a determination of disability). If an extension of time for processing is required, written notice must be given to you before the end of the initial 90-day or 45-day period. The extension notice must indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render its final decision. In no event can the extension period exceed a period of 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period. However, if the claim involves a determination of your disability, the Plan Administrator may only extend the review period for two additional 30-day periods (for a maximum review period of 105 days). 11008589 5/1/17 11

Denial of claim: If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator must notify you within 90 days following receipt of the claim (45 days if the claim involves a determination of disability) (or the 180-day or 105-day period described above in the case of an extension for special circumstances). The notification must state the specific reason or reasons for the denial, specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim, and appropriate information about the steps to be taken if you wish to submit the claim for review. If notice of the denial of a claim is not furnished within the 90/180-day or 45/105-day period as applicable, the claim is considered denied and you must be permitted to proceed to the review stage. Review procedure: You or your duly authorized representative has at least 60 days after receipt of a claim denial (180 days if the claim involves a determination of your disability) to appeal the denied claim to an appropriate named fiduciary or individual designated by the fiduciary and to receive a full and fair review of the claim. As part of the review, you must be allowed to review all Plan documents and other papers that affect the claim and must be allowed to submit issues and comments and argue against the denial in writing. Decision on review: The Plan must conduct the review and decide the appeal within 60 days after the request for review is made (within 45 days if your claim involves a determination of disability). If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing (such as the need to hold a hearing if the Plan procedure provides for such a hearing), you must be furnished with written notice of the extension, which can be no later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review (no later than 90 days if your claim involves a determination of disability). The decision on review must be written in clear and understandable language and must include specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. If the decision on review is not made within the time limits specified above, the appeal will be considered denied. All interpretations, determinations, and decisions of the reviewing entity with respect to any claim will be its sole decision based upon the Plan documents and will be deemed final and conclusive. If appeal is denied, in whole or in part, however, you have a right to file suit in a state or federal court. 34. What are my rights under the law? As a participant in the Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that all Plan participants are entitled to: 1. Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator's office all documents under which the Plan is operated, including insurance contracts, and copies of all documents filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as annual reports. 2. Obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. The Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. 3. Receive a summary of the Plan's annual financial report. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish you with a summary of the Plan's financial report. 4. Obtain a statement telling whether you have a right to receive a pension at normal retirement age and if so, what your benefits would be at normal retirement age if you stop working under the Plan now. If you do not have the right to a pension, the statement will tell you how many more years you have to work to get a right to a pension. This statement must be requested in writing and is not required to be given more often than quarterly. The Plan must provide the statement free of charge. In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for operating the Plan. The people who operate your Plan, called fiduciaries of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other 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 pension benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. If your claim for a pension benefit is denied in whole or in part, you must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. You have the right to have the Plan review and reconsider your claim. 11008589 5/1/17 12

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 annual report from the Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator 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 Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state Federal court, after exhausting the claims procedures under the Plan. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order, you may file suit in Federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. 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. If you have any questions about your Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 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. 35. Is the Plan insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)? No. Since the Plan is a defined contribution plan, it isn't insured by the PBGC. The PBGC is the government agency that guarantees certain types of benefits under covered plans. 36. Who is the agent for service of legal process? The agent for service of legal process is: The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc., 6720-A Rockledge Dr., Suite 100, Bethesda, MD 20817 37. Who has the authority to interpret the terms of the Plan and determine eligibility? The Plan Administrator has the discretion and final authority to decide who is eligible to participate in the Plan, determine contributions under the Plan, and to interpret every term of the Plan, including any ambiguous terms. The Plan Administrator also has the authority to resolve any disputes relating to the Plan and to answer all questions concerning administration of the Plan. 11008589 5/1/17 13
