C.2. GROUP LIFE INSURANCE

The Government of the United States of America requires group life insurance coverage (natural

& accidental or work-related death/disability and total & partial disability) for its employees, as further described in C.2.1, in Pakistan. The insurance coverage will be provided for employees based in Islamabad, Peshawar, Lahore, and Karachi. The Government has determined that the prevailing practice by employers in Pakistan is that group life insurance coverage is representative of locally prevailing compensation practice and that the cost of such insurance protection is usually borne one hundred percent by the employer. Therefore, the Government desires to adopt such locally prevailing practice as part of its compensation plan for its employees as further described in C.2.1. The specific group insurance coverage under this contract is set forth in this part of Section C and the Attachments in Section J.

C.2.1. Group Life Insurance Coverage

The amount of group life insurance coverage is as follows:

C.2.1.1 Amount of Employee Life Insurance.

The amount of life insurance (natural death) coverage for each employee is based upon

30 times the monthly basic salary.

C.2.1.2 Amount of Accidental Death or work related death/disability and

Dismemberment Coverage.

The employee's estate or employee will receive an amount equal to 48 times the amount of monthly basic salary in the event the employee is killed in an accident or work related death/disability.

C.2.1.3 Partial and Total Disability Coverage

(1) Total Disability: 30 times the monthly basic salary

(2) Partial Disability: 40% of the monthly basic salary, during the period of disablement or for up to a period of one year from the date of the injury, whichever is less.

C.2.2 Life Insurance Benefits Conditions and Limitations

Conditions and limitations on the entitlement to life insurance benefits under this contract are as follows:

• No benefits shall be payable if an employee's death or other insurance event was caused directly or indirectly by war.

A terrorist attack shall not be considered war.

• No benefit shall be payable under this contract if the employee's bodily injuries have been caused directly or indirectly and totally or partially by:

1. Violating the law or in resisting detention or arrest.

2. Participation in competitions involving the use of wheeled vehicles, horses, boats or water skis.

3. An accident resulting from the employee being under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other toxic substance unless administered by a physician.
