FEDERAL TAX WITHHOLDING:
If a lump sum payment is $200 or less, no income tax is required to be withheld from it. However, if a payment is more than $200, then 20% is
required to be withheld for federal income taxes unless you elect a direct rollover. You should read the attached "Special Tax Notice Regarding Your
Rollover Options." It describes federal income tax withholding rules and other special tax rules. Depending on your tax bracket, you may owe
estimated tax if your federal withholding is not sufficient to satisfy IRS rules. You may incur penalties if your federal tax withholding plus any
estimated tax payments is not enough. NOTE: This form takes the place of the IRS Form W-4P, OMB No. 1545-0074. Read the information
carefully, make any desired election, and sign and date the form in the signature section at the bottom of the next page.
(1) If you elect a lump sum cash payment, 20% will automatically be withheld from the taxable portion for federal income taxes and forwarded to
the IRS. You can elect more withholding than 20%. (A distribution from a Roth 403(b) account is only non-taxable if it is rolled over to an
IRA or another qualified plan or if it is deemed a qualified distribution. See the Special Tax Notice Regarding Your Rollover Options for an
explanation of a qualified distribution.) Complete the following information only if you want more than 20% withheld:

(2) If you elect a direct rollover to an IRA or another plan, then no withholding will be made. However, if you elect to roll your distribution to a
Roth IRA, you may elect below voluntary withholding on that part.

I have read the above information and understand the withholding rules as they apply to my distribution from the Plan. I request that my Plan

processed. (Information regarding short term redemption fees is provided on the Plan's website and fund prospectus.) If I have elected a direct
deposit to a personal account, I understand I am responsible for providing accurate bank information and will hold harmless from any damages of any
kind any entity that makes a transfer based on my instructions. I also understand that my financial institution may charge a fee for that service.
