If you elect Group Legal coverage for yourself, your Eligible Dependents are covered automatically. Paying for Group Legal Benefits Full-Time and Part-Time Employees You pay the full cost of Group Legal coverage through regular payroll deductions. Your employee contributions start the first of the month following your date of hire/rehire/transfer, although your coverage begins as of your date of hire/rehire/transfer. Current employee contributions for the Group Legal Plan are listed on. Employee contributions may change from year to year. Merck will inform you, typically during the annual enrollment period, if there are any employee contribution changes. Merck LTD Employees If you are on an unpaid leave of absence, you cannot receive payroll deductions for your Group Legal coverage. Instead, you will be billed by the Benefits Service Center on a monthly basis. You must remit payment at the times specified by the Benefits Service Center or you will lose coverage for the remainder of the Plan Year. If you lose coverage, you will be eligible to re-enroll in Group Legal coverage during annual enrollment for coverage effective the following Jan. 1.

9 5 If you are a Merck LTD Employee, coverage ends on the last day of the month following your LTD effective date. If you return to work in the same year in which your LTD starts, coverage resumes the first day of the month following your return to work. If you return to work in a subsequent Plan Year, you must re-enroll and will be given instructions on how to do so. After-Tax Contributions Your contributions toward the cost of Group Legal coverage are deducted from your paycheck on an aftertax basis. This means your contributions come out of your pay after federal income and Social Security taxes are deducted. Making Changes to Your Coverage Annual Enrollment Each year during annual enrollment, you may elect to make changes to your Legal Plan coverage or keep your current Legal Plan election, subject to its continued availability. Generally, the benefit elections you make will remain in effect for the entire Plan Year (Jan. 1 Dec. 31). Changes made during the annual enrollment period are effective Jan. 1 of the following year. If you do not make a change during annual enrollment, your Group Legal Plan coverage for the new Plan Year will automatically default to your current Group Legal Plan option (subject to its continued availability). Each year, you will be notified of the annual enrollment procedures, coverage costs and timeframes for enrolling in or changing your elections for the upcoming Plan Year. Since Merck may make changes to the Group Legal Plan at any time, it is important to review your annual enrollment materials carefully when you receive them. You may access annual enrollment materials, obtain contact information, review plan design changes and confirm most benefits online at. If You Take a Leave of Absence Approved Paid Leave of Absence. If you take an approved paid leave of absence, your Employer will continue to deduct your portion of the cost of Group Legal coverage through payroll deductions. Deductions will be on an after-tax basis. Approved Unpaid Leave of Absence. If you take an approved unpaid leave of absence, you will be billed for coverage during your leave from the Benefits Service Center. Amounts paid during the leave will be paid for with after-tax dollars. For employees who return to work at the expiration of a leave, any accumulated unpaid amounts will be deducted from your initial paychecks on an after-tax basis. However, if you fail to pay premiums to continue coverage in the time and manner specified by the Plan Administrator, your coverage will end and you will not be able to re-enroll for coverage unless and until you return to active employment. While on leave, you will continue to pay the same rates as similarly situated active employees. When Group Legal Coverage Ends Your coverage in the Merck Group Legal Plan ends on the earliest of: The date your employment terminates, The date you are no longer eligible to participate, The day immediately prior to the day your No Coverage option goes into effect, If you are an LTD Employee, on an approved unpaid leave of absence and do not pay your premiums, the first day of the month after your leave begins, The date the required contributions for coverage are not paid, or The date the Group Legal Plan is terminated by the Company.

17 13 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLAN ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION This section contains information on the administration and funding for the Merck Group Legal Plan, as well as your rights as a Legal Plan participant. While you may not need this information for day-to-day participation in the Merck Group Legal Plan, you should read through this section. It is important for you to understand your rights, the procedures you need to follow and the appropriate contacts you may need in certain situations. Your Rights Under USERRA The Legal Plan is not subject to the continuation coverage requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 ( USERRA ). You do not need to take any action to continue coverage under the Legal Plan when you begin your military leave. However, if you want to drop your coverage under the Legal Plan when you begin your military leave, you must contact the Benefits Service Center within 30 days after your leave begins. If you do not contact the Benefits Service Center within that 30-day period, your coverage under the Legal Plan will continue as described below. If you are eligible to continue to receive base pay from the Employer during your military leave, coverage will continue in accordance with the Legal Plan s terms and conditions applicable to an employee on a paid leave of absence. Employee contributions at the active employee rate will continue to be deducted from your pay; to the extent your pay is insufficient to pay the required contributions, unpaid contributions will be accumulated and be payable by you when you return to active employee status. You may drop your coverage (or add coverage) during your military leave only during annual enrollment (for coverage changes effective the following Jan. 1). If you are not eligible to continue to receive base pay from the Employer during your military leave, coverage will terminate as of the end of the month in which your unpaid military leave begins. For more information regarding your rights during a military leave contact the Benefits Service Center or refer to Merck s Military Leave Policy, available on Sync or by request to the Merck My Support Center. Your Rights Under ERISA As a participant in the Merck Group Legal 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 shall be entitled to the following: Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing the Merck Group Legal Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Pension and Welfare Benefit Administration Office. Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description. The administrator may charge a reasonable fee for the copies. Receive a summary of the Plan s annual financial report, if applicable. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report, if applicable.

18 14 Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit 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 welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. Enforcing Your Rights If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. For more information, see Claims and Appeals. 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 a 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 or federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a medical child support order, you may file suit in federal court. If it should happen that the 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. Assistance with Your Questions If you have any questions about the Merck Group Legal 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 Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance of the Employee Benefits Security Administration at: Division of Technical Assistance/Employee Benefits Security Administration U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration at or accessing their website at

19 15 Claims and Appeals If you are denied coverage by Hyatt Legal Plans or by any Plan Attorney, you may appeal by sending a letter to: Hyatt Legal Plans, Inc. Director of Administration 1111 Superior Avenue Cleveland, OH (For Florida plans contact Hyatt Legal Plans of Florida, Inc. at the above address.) The Director will issue Hyatt Legal Plans final determination within 60 days of receiving your letter. This determination will include the reasons for the denial with reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based and a description of any additional information that might cause Hyatt Legal Plans to reconsider the decision, an explanation of the review procedure and notice of the right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. Claims and Appeals for Eligibility to Participate in the Merck Group Legal Plan If you, your beneficiary or your authorized representative feel that an error has been made concerning your eligibility to participate in the Plan you, your beneficiary or your authorized representative may request reconsideration under the Plan. All requests for reconsideration shall be submitted in writing to the Plan Administrator at the following address: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. Attn: Plan Administrator (GSA-HTR) c/o P.O. Box Cincinnati, OH Express mail address: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. Attn: Plan Administrator (GSA-HTR) c/o Mail Zone KC1F-L 100 Crosby Parkway Covington, KY The Plan Administrator will review your claim and respond to you with a determination. The decision of the Plan Administrator is final and binding. If your claim for eligibility involves whether an incapacitated child is eligible to participate in the Plan as an Eligible Dependent, you need to follow the claims and appeals procedure for the Legal Plan option in which you are enrolled. Please note that all requests for reconsideration regarding participation by the incapacitated child must be submitted in writing to the Claims Administrator for the option in which you are enrolled.
