CLAIM INFORMATION

Notice of Claim. Notice of claim should be sent to Unum within 90 days after the Date of Diagnosis for which a benefit is claimed or the date of Covered Loss for which a benefit is claimed, or as soon as is reasonably possible. If notice is not reasonably possible to provide within 90 days, it must be given no later than one year after the time notice of claim is required. These time limits will not apply during any time period You or Your authorized representative lacks the legal capacity to give Unum notice of claim.

Notice should be sent to Unum at Our home office. If You submit a claim before notification of Unum’s decision on any coverage amount requiring Evidence of Insurability, the amount of coverage applicable to the claim will be determined as if Unum’s final underwriting decision had been made prior to the Date of Diagnosis or date of Covered Loss.

Claim Forms. When Unum receives a notice of claim, claim forms will be sent for filing proof of claim within 15 days. If claim forms are not sent within 15 days, the proof of claim requirements will be met if We receive a written statement of the nature and extent of the loss as required in the proof of claim section. Claim forms are also available from Your Employer.

Proof of Claim. Proof of claim must include documentation furnished by a Physician and supported by clinical, radiological, histological, pathological, and/or laboratory evidence. It may also include one or more of the following: a Physician’s bill, a Hospital bill, or other proof of charges.

If it is not reasonably possible to give proof of claim within 90 days after the Date of Diagnosis for which a benefit is claimed or date of Covered Loss for which a benefit is claimed, it must be given no later than one year after the time proof of claim is required.

These time limits will not apply during any time period the Insured or the Insured’s authorized representative lacks the legal capacity to give Unum proof of claim.

Time of Payment of Claims. After Unum receives, evaluates and processes proof of claim, Unum will pay any benefits due within 15 business days. If We do not pay benefits within this time, We will mail You a letter or notice within 15 business days.

This letter or notice will tell You the reasons We have not paid the claim either in whole or in part. It will also give You a list of any additional documents or information We need to complete Your claim. When all the additional information to process Your claim is received, We then have 15 business days to either pay the whole claim or a part of it or deny it. We will give You the reasons for denying the claim or any part of it. If We do not meet these requirements, We will pay interest equal to 18% a year on the benefits due.

Payment of Claims. Benefits will be paid to You unless such benefits have been assigned. If You are not competent, Unum can pay up to $2,000 to the person or institution that appears to have assumed Your custody and main support. Any accrued benefits unpaid at Your death will be paid to the named beneficiary, if any, otherwise to Your estate. Unum will be discharged to the extent of any such payment made in good faith.

Overpayments. Unum has the right to recover any overpayments due to:

- fraud; and

- any error We make in processing a claim.

CI-CLM-2 (7/1/2016)

You must reimburse Us in full. We will determine the method by which the repayment is to be made.

Unum will not recover more money than the amount We paid You.

Unpaid Premium. Any unpaid premium due for Your coverage under this policy may be recovered by Us by offsetting against amounts otherwise payable to You, Your beneficiary, or Your legal representative(s) under this policy, or by other legally permitted means.

Assignment. The rights provided to You by the policy are owned by You, unless You assign Your rights under the policy to an assignee.

We will recognize an assignee as the owner of the rights assigned only if:

- the assignment is in writing, signed by You, and acceptable to Us in form; and

- a signed or certified copy of the written assignment has been received and registered by Us at Our home office.

We will not be responsible for the legal, tax or other effects of any assignment, or for any action taken under the policy provisions before receiving and registering an assignment.

Physical Examinations and Autopsy. We can require that the Insured be examined by a Physician of Our choice at Our expense as often as it is reasonably necessary while a claim is pending. In case of death, Unum will have the right and opportunity to request an autopsy where not forbidden by law.

Legal Actions. You or Your authorized representative can start legal action regarding Your claim 60 days after proof of claim has been given and up to 3 years from the time proof of claim was first required to have been given; or Your claim was denied; or Your benefits were terminated, unless otherwise provided under federal law.

If You are not in Active Employment due to Injury or Sickness, any change in coverage requested by Your Employer will begin on the date You return to Active Employment.

Coverage changes will not affect a Payable Claim that occurs prior to the effective date of the change.

EMPLOYEE-4 (7/1/2016)

Unum will not:

- apply a new Eligibility Waiting Period; or

- require Evidence of Insurability.

Insurance Fraud. Unum wants to ensure You and Your Employer do not incur additional insurance costs as a result of the undermining effects of insurance fraud.

Unum promises to focus on all means necessary to support fraud detection, investigation, and prosecution.

It is a crime if You knowingly, and with intent to injure, defraud or deceive Unum, or provide any information, including filing a claim, that contains any false, incomplete or misleading information. These actions, as well as submission of materially false information, will result in denial of Your claim, and are subject to prosecution and punishment to the full extent under state and/or federal law. Unum will pursue all appropriate legal remedies in the event of insurance fraud.

Contestability of Statements in Application or Evidence of Insurability. Unum considers any statements You make in a signed application or Evidence of Insurability form, or that Your Employer makes in the application process, a representation and not a warranty. If any of the statements You or Your Employer make are not complete and/or not true at the time they are made, We can:

- reduce or deny any claim; or

- cancel Your coverage from the original effective date.

As a basis for doing this, We will use only statements made by the Employer in the application process or statements made by You in a signed application or Evidence of Insurability form.

Except in the case of fraud, Unum can take action only in the first two years any Insured’s coverage is in force.

If the Employer gives Unum information about You that is incorrect, Unum will:

- use the facts to decide whether You have coverage under the policy and in what amounts; and

- make a fair adjustment of the premium.

Employer as Agent. For purposes of this policy, the Employer acts on its own behalf or as the Employee’s agent. Under no circumstances will the Employer be deemed the agent of Unum.

Communicating with You or Your Employer. Unum may provide notices, information and other communications to You or Your Employer in written, electronic or telephonic form.

Workers Compensation or State Disability Insurance. This policy does not replace or affect the requirements for coverage by any workers’ compensation or state disability insurance.

EMPLOYEE-5 (7/1/2016)

Cancellation or Modification of this Policy. This Policyholder Provision applies to Your coverage. This policy can be cancelled by:

- Unum; or

- the Policyholder.

Unum may cancel or modify this policy if:

- our participation requirements are not met, as applicable;

- the Policyholder does not promptly provide Unum with information that is reasonably required;

- the Policyholder fails to perform any of its obligations that relate to this policy;

- the premium is not paid in accordance with the provisions of this policy that specify whether the Policyholder, the Employee, or both, pay(s) the premiums;

- the Policyholder does not promptly report to Us the names of any Employees who are added or deleted from the eligible group;

- Unum determines that there is a significant change, in the size, occupation or age of the eligible group as a result of a corporate transaction such as a merger, divestiture, acquisition, sale or reorganization of the Policyholder and/or its Employees;

- Unum provides 60 days notice at any time after the Initial Rate Guarantee for any reason; or

- Unum is notified of a change in Federal or State Law materially affecting the policy.

If Unum cancels or modifies this policy, for any of the reasons listed above, a written notice will be delivered to the Policyholder at least 60 days prior to the cancellation date or modification date. The Policyholder may cancel this policy if the modifications are unacceptable.

If any premium is not paid during the 31 day Grace Period, this policy will cancel automatically at the end of the Grace Period. The Policyholder is liable for premium for coverage during the Grace Period. The Policyholder must pay Us all premiums due for the full period this policy is in force. In the event of termination, this policy may be reinstated only as agreed upon by Unum and the Policyholder. If Unum agrees to reinstate this policy, such reinstatement will not constitute waiver of the termination provision in the future.

The Policyholder may cancel this policy by written notice delivered to Unum at least 31 days prior to the cancellation date. When both the Policyholder and Unum agree, this policy can be cancelled on an earlier date. If Unum or the Policyholder cancels this policy, coverage will end at 12:00 midnight on the last day of coverage.

If this policy is cancelled, the cancellation will not affect a Payable Claim.
