program and consider both insured as well as self-insured funding of the
benefits. The benefits shall be substantially equal to the present benefits
except that: 1) the medical benefits shall be simplified, and 2) the
employee life insurance shall be increased to twice the annual salary. The
highlights of the benefits after remarketing shall be:

employee's dependents.
