AmeriFlex is headquartered in Mount Laurel, N.J., and serves more than 4,400 clients that represent over 1,750,000 employees. AmeriFlex's commitment to innovative technology delivers a wealth of consumer-driven benefit options, as well as a robust, liability-free, web- based COBRA administration system. These turnkey solutions provide our clients with the ability to remain strategically competitive in the ever- changing landscape of employee benefits, consumer-driven healthcare, and compliance. In 1999, AmeriFlex and our banking intermediary, MBI, helped pioneer the FSA debit card. As a result, AmeriFlex gained immediate and substantial market share and used this momentum to further enhance our technological capabilities, including the development of a consolidated debit card platform combining FSA, HRA, HSA, and CRA into one debit card, the AmeriFlex Convenience Cardsm. This singular approach provides simplification and ease of use for both employer and employee. The employer is rewarded with the savings derived from per participant rather than per account pricing, as well as real-time balances and user-friendly consolidated reporting. The employee is unencumbered with the confusion and frustration inherent in the understanding and use of multiple cards. Many TPAs who were late adopters of debit card technology continue to face the obstacles associated with dual processing platforms and data interface challenges. Seven years of refining the AmeriFlex Convenience Cardsm system has allowed us to take full advantage of the potential inherent in this technology. The power and simplicity of the complete AmeriFlex suite of services with particular emphasis on our utilization of a single debit card platform and web-based COBRA administration have positioned AmeriFlex as the industry leader. Benefits Selling Magazine's 2005 and 2006 'Readers' Choice Award" named AmeriFlex as the national TPA deli~~ost comprehensive services. 3 'AF WHAT IS A FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT? Flexible Spending Accounts (FBAs), commonly referred to as ~~Section 125" plans or "Cafeteria" plans, were developed as part of Internal Revenue Code Section 125 to provide employees with tax relief for their un-reimbursed medical and dependent day-care costs. FBAs enable employees to utilize pre- tax dollars and save Federal, FICA, and, in most cases, state taxes when paying for eligible expenses not covered by traditional insurance plans. Although FBAs have been available for many years, the emergence of consumer-driven healthcare and increased employee cost-sharing has made them an integral benefits solution that provides substantial tax savings to both employers and employees. There are three types of Flexible Spending Accounts: 1) Medical Reimbursement Accounts: Accounts used to pay for eligible un-reimbursed medical expenses such as co-pays, deductibles, dental, vision, prescription, over-the-counter drugs, and more; 2) Dependent Day-Care Reimbursement Accounts: Accounts used to pay for the daily care of an eligible child or adult dependent as defined by the IRS; and 3) Commuter Reimbursement Accounts: Accounts used to pay for eligible transportation and parking expenses. To further enhance the benefits of implementing FBAs, AmeriFlex offers the AmeriFlex Convenience Cardsm MasterCard°. This single-platform debit card allows for the automatic electronic transfer of pre-tax dollars from an FSA when paying for qualified expenses. Most importantly, the AmeriFlex Convenience Cardsm can accommodate and administer all three accounts on the same card without an incremental fee. AmeriFlex leverages the purchasing power of your FSA even further by providing AmeriFlex Rx, AmeriFlex's online drugstore. AmeriFlex Rx clearly identifies FBA-eligible products for employees, combining the ease of online shopping with the assurance of an automated system for substantiation of FSA claims.. 4 IAF Medical Reimbursement Accounts -These accounts offer employees the opportunity to utilize pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible out-of-pocket and un- reimbursed medical expenses. Medical Reimbursement Spending Accounts cover an endless list of eli ible expenses for which an employee can seek reimbursement. Some examples include: • Deductibles • Co-insurance and office visit co-pays • Prescriptions and eligible over-the-counter drugs • Dental and orthodontia services • Durable medical equipment • Infertility treatments • Psychiatric services • Eyeglasses and contact lenses • Visit www.flex125.com for a complete list of eli _ ible expenses Key Elements / Employees may only use their funds for eligible expenses as determined by the IRS. / Employers are required to fund the reimbursement of an eligible expense up to the full amount of an employees' annual election, regardless of the funds contributed to date by the employee. / The IRS 'Use it or Lose it" rule states that the employee forfeits any unused funds at the end of the plan year.* Conversely, the employer cannot require an employee who terminates with a negative account balance to pay back the funds. / To mitigate this risk, employers set the maximum annual contribution in the Medical Flexible Spending Account as well as the employee eligibility period. / AmeriFlex offers funding options that eliminate the need for employers to pre-fund their account. / Employers can elect to make contributions to their employees' accounts provided they satisfy all non-discrimination requirements. *IRS Ruling 2005-42 allows employers to extend the claims reimbursement cycle by 2.5 .months beyond the close of the plan year. 5 AF Dependent Care Reimbursement Accounts -These accounts utilize pre-tax dollars to pay for dependent day-care expenses for an eligible child or adult dependent up to $5,000 per family per year. Some qualified expenses include: • Before- and after-school programs • Nursery school or pre-school tuition • Summer day camp • Care in a home by a licensed provider Key Elements / Employees may contribute up to a maximum of $5,000 per family per year. This option replaces the Federal Childcare Tax Credit. / Unlike the medical spending account, funds are only available once they are deducted from the employee's payroll and deposited into their account. / An e/igib/e dependent is defined as a child under the age of 13 who bears a specified relationship to the employee and has the same principal place of residence as the employee for more than one-half of the year. / An eligible dependent can also include a spouse, parent, or child of any age who is physically or mentally incapable of caring for themselves, who has the same principal place of residence as the employee for more than one- half of the year, and whose gross income is less than the exemption amount in Code 151(d) and with respect to whom the employee provides over one-half of the individual's support. 6 ~AF Commuter Reimbursement Accounts (CRAs) -This account is a tax- favored program (Internal Revenue Code Section 132 and TEA-21) that allows employees to benefit by setting aside pre-tax money from their paychecks to pay for eligible transportation and parking expenses. Transportation and Parking eligible expenses include: • Mass transportation to your place of employment such as subway or bus • Transportation to your place of employment via a vanpooling commuter vehicle (which seats at least six adults, not including the driver). At least 80% of the vehicle's mileage must be used to transport employees to and from their place of employment. • Parking near your place of employment • Parking at or near a location from which you commute to work via mass transit or vanpool Key Elements / For Plan years beginning in 2007, Qualified Parking expenses are limited to $215 per month and Transit Pass & Commuter Highway Vehicle expenses are collectively limited to $110 per month. / Key differences from traditional flexible spending accounts include no plan documents, no SPD or discrimination testing is required, elections may be changed at any time during the year, and unused elections can be rolled forward to subsequent years. / Similar to the Dependent Day Care Reimbursement Account, only the amount that has been deducted to date can be reimbursed to participants. 7 ~} EMPLOYER ADVANTAGES IAF Employee benefits purchased on a pre-tax basis reduce the employer wage base for purposes of calculating payroll taxes. Employers can realize direct bottom-line savings from the reduced employer F.I.C.A. taxes, F.U.T.A. taxes, and disability and workers' compensation insurance premiums (varies state by state). Total savings to the employer can represent as much as 10% and typically cover the administrative costs associated with these plans. Following is an illustration of the potential employer FICA savings when an average number of participants is multiplied by average participation levels. Eligible Employees: 245 Flexible Spending Accounts*: 49 MedFSA participants 20 DepFSA participants 37 CRA participants FICA saved Voluntary Benefit Premiums: $6 Voluntary participants FICA saved Health Insurance Premiums: 172 Health participants FICA saved x $1000 per participant $ x $5,000 per participant $ x $1,200 per participant $ 7.65% * * x $ x x $540 per participant $ 7.65%** x $ 49,000 100,0(0y 44p40® 193,400 $ 14,795 46,305 46,305 $ 3,542 $900 per participant $ 154,350 7.65% * * x $ 154,350 $ 11,808 *Participation assumes the AmeriFlex Convenience Cards'" is being used.

(Social Security & Medicare) taxes. Based on 2007 tax rates, potential savings range from 17.65% to 35.65% depending on an employee's individual tax bracket, and, in most states, employees can also save on their state income tax. Following is an example of how an average employee can increase their monthly take home pay by $51 through a Flexible Spending Account: Without a With a F/ex P/an F/ex P/an Monthly Compensation $2,000 $2,000 Pre-tax Contributions N A -200 Taxable Salary $2,000 $1,800 Federal Income Tax (15%) -300 -270 State Income Tax (@3%)* -60 -54 Social Security Tax (7.65%)** -153 -138 Salary after Taxes $1,487 $1,338 After-Tax Expenses -200 N A Net Take Home Pay $1,287 $1,338 Net Individual Savings is $51/month ($1,338 vs. $1,287) or $612/year. *State tax savings are estimated. Most state and local governments also treat cafeteria plan elections favorably for purposes of state and local income taxes. **Employees save 6.2% on pre-tax payroll deductions if they make less than the maximum Social Security wage base ($94,200 for 2007; indexed annually) plus 1.45% on all pre-tax deductions under the plan. 9 ~AF THE AMERIFLEX CONVENIENCE CARDsm In 1999, AmeriFlex introduced the AmeriFlex Convenience Cards"' MasterCard°, creating a clear win-win circumstance for both employer and employee by providing an easier, more convenient method for employees to utilize their Flexible Spending Accounts. This debit card allows for the automatic electronic transfer of pre-tax dollars from an employee account when paying for qualified expenses. Employees are able to receive immediate reimbursement of their medical and dependent care expenses simply by using their card at the point of service. The normal paper claims process is eliminated, as are worries of forgotten purchases or lost receipts. A Concept Of Simplicity The AmeriFlex Convenience Cards"' can be used wherever MasterCard° is accepted, and all charges are paid electronically. The MasterCard® system carves the world into more than 1,000 merchant category codes, each code reflecting whether the merchant is a restaurant, department store, gas station, pharmacy, doctor's office, etc. Therefore, the card will not work at an unauthorized MasterCard° merchant (e.g. gas station, restaurant, etc.) but it will recognize applicable healthcare, dependent care, and transit MCC/SIC codes, allowing AmeriFlex to properly adjudicate claims according to IRS guidelines. When the debit card is swiped, the system qualifies the expense. Next, it determines if there is an adequate/available balance in the employee FSA account. Finally, pre-authorization occurs at the merchant POS terminal. At this point, the merchant will get paid via ACH and the amount of charge is deducted from the employee's FSA account. It is important for employees to remember that back-up documentation may be required, so they should save their receipts. 10 'AF Capitalizing on Technology Technological innovation has been a hallmark of AmeriFlex since its inception: In 1999, AmeriFlex and MBI pioneered the debit card technology that started a voluntary benefits revolution. With the emergence of Consumer-Driven Benefits, AmeriFlex has recognized the need to deliver a technology-based solution that enhances the common debit card platform. Our unmatched industry experience and knowledge-based administrative expertise once again enabled us to pioneer the development of a consolidated FSA/HRA/HSA/CRA platform with single-participant pricing. Emerging consumer-driven benefit strategies that seek to utilize multiple accounts (HRA/FSA/HSA/CRA) have made the AmeriFlex Convenience Cards"' an even more compelling innovation. We employ technology that provides the flexibility to handle a multitude of variations in plan structure on one card, which is a prerequisite to achieving seamless compatibility with the electronic payment systems that are critical to these types of plans. Service & Support In addition to being a leader in debit card technology and electronic claims processing, AmeriFlex recognizes that the key to exceptional administration is service.

ENROLLMENT OPTIONS • One-on-One Enrollment: Generally the most effective method of enrollment is to provide your employees with consultation and education via a one-on-one meeting with your broker or other benefits counselor. This method ensures that employees best understand how to use the plan, recognize what expenses qualify, and have the opportunity to get their individual questions answered. Effective personal enrollments usually produce the highest participation levels which, in turn, serve to enhance overall tax savings. • Online Enrollment: For subsequent plan years, AmeriFlex can provide access to online enrollments. Employees will be given a password to our secure system and can then enroll at their convenience, during the specified open enrollment period 24 hours a day. • File Transfer Enrollment: If your company currently utilizes an online enrollment software, AmeriFlex can automate your enrollment process and continued plan maintenance by automatically accepting data from your primary benefit enrollment system . These methods of enrollment can be combined to create the best environment for you and your employees to enroll in your Flexible Benefit Plan. 14 CAF FUNDING OPTIONS • Daily ACH/Debit:.

Healthcare Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) ~: `f }~ - ~. Health insurance premiums are rising due to the ever increasing cost of care. Employers and employees must cope with higher co- payments, higher deductibles and increased provider restrictions. Many employers are now exploring alternatives to standard medical care that combine high-deductible health plans (HDHP) with an Healthcare Reimbursement Account to ease this burden. HRAs are employer-funded accounts that can be designed to help offset the increase in employees' out- of-pocket expenses due to the implementation of the HDHP. HRA administrative costs and HRA contributions can be deducted from taxes without increasing FICA or FUTA taxes or disability or workers' compensation insurance premiums. The "hat-trick" created by combining the savings from LOW-COST, high-deductible health plans with the associated tax savings and even the ability to deduct HRA administrative costs, make HRAs a valuable option worth considering for your employee benefits package. ,,`~~, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) ,.~ , ~? Maybe you're a small business owner and you need a good insurance plan to attract top-notch employees. Maybe you run a multi-million-dollar company and are looking to provide better insurance for your team -and cut costs. If you're offering a High Deductible Health Plan to your employees, a HSA just might be the perfect solution for you. A HSA makes health coverage more like insurance -what health care coverage should be. After all, you buy car insurance to protect yourself in the event of a catastrophe. You don't "insure" routine maintenance and minor repairs like a flat tire or a new turn-signal bulb. HSAs can be funded by either an employee or an employer. The savings roll over into subsequent years, earning interest. This low-cost, tax-free alternative to traditional insurance is the biggest change to health policy in decades. Seize the HSA opportunity. Because taking control of how you or your company spend health care dollars is just smart business. 18 ,, ~AF Mongooses COBRA/HIPAA Administration The IRS claims that over 90% of all employers are out of compliance with COBRA regulations.
