EXHIBIT 10.10


EXECUTIVE MEDICAL PLAN OF
THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
(PLAN NO. 549)

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2001

The Coca-Cola Company (the "Plan Sponsor") adopted The Coca-Cola Company
Supplemental Medical Expense Plan on May 4, 1982 (the "Plan"). On August 1,
1989, the Plan Sponsor executed a Plan Instrument effective July 1, 1982. The
Plan was further amended effective January 1, 1989 by Amendment No. 1 dated
August 1, 1989.

The Plan Sponsor does hereby amend and restate the Plan in its entirety,
effective as of January 1, 2001. This amendment and restatement reflects the
renaming of the Plan as the "Executive Medical Plan of The Coca-Cola Company"
and the new Insurer for the Group Policy incorporated herein by reference.


1. Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible employees of the Plan
Sponsor and its participating affiliates with additional financial security in
the event of death or disability. An individual shall be treated as an employee
under this Plan for any period only if (i) he or she is actually classified
during such period by the Plan Sponsor or a participating affiliate on its
payroll, personnel and benefits system as an employee, and (ii) he or she is
paid for services rendered during such period through the payroll system as
distinguished from the accounts payable department of the Plan Sponsor or any
participating affiliate. No other individual shall be treated as an employee
under this Plan for any period regardless of his or her status during such
period as an employee under common law or under any statute.

The Plan Sponsor intends that the Plan constitute an "employee welfare
benefit plan" under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA") and that the Plan be maintained in compliance with all
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

2. Eligibility Requirements and Benefit Coverages Provided

Benefits provided under the Plan shall be provided through the purchase and
maintenance of one or more Group Insurance Policies (the "Group Policy") which
the officers of the Plan Sponsor are authorized to enter into with one or more
insurance companies (the "Insurer") with respect to the Plan. Plan requirements
respecting eligibility for participation and benefits shall be the requirements
as to employees to be insured as set forth in the Group Policy. The persons
entitled to benefits under the Plan shall be the employees insured as set forth
in the Group Policy and their beneficiaries designated in accordance with the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Group Policy. The benefits under the
Plan shall be provided by the Group Policy in accordance with the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Group Policy. The affiliates of the Plan
Sponsor whose employees may participate in the Plan shall be those affiliates
specified in the Group Policy.


3. Plan Administrator

The Director of Employee Benefits of the Plan Sponsor shall be the Plan
Administrator of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may authorize any other person
to sign communications and to execute documents on his or her behalf and may
delegate such of his or her duties and responsibilities under the Plan as the
Plan Administrator considers to be in the best interest of the Plan. The Plan
Administrator may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to
any of the Plan Administrator's responsibilities under the Plan.

4. Named Fiduciary and Administration of the Plan

(a) The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive responsibility and
complete discretionary authority to control the operation and management of the
Plan, with all powers necessary to enable him or her to properly carry out such
responsibility, including, but not limited to, the power to construe the terms
of this Plan, to determine status, coverage and eligibility for benefits (except
to the extent delegated to the Insurer under Section 4(b) of the Plan), and to
resolve all interpretive, equitable and other questions that shall arise in the
operation and administration of the Plan. All actions and determinations made by
the Plan Administrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

(b) Claims for benefits under the Plan are to be submitted to and payment
of claims will be made by the Insurer as provided in the Group Policy. A claim
which is denied by the Insurer shall be reviewed by the Insurer in accordance
with the procedure as provided in the Group Policy, and the decision of the
Insurer on any claim shall be final. The Insurer shall be the "named fiduciary"
under the Plan for the purpose of such review and all decisions thereon. The
Insurer's decision on any claim shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
persons. Except as provided in Section 4(c) of the Plan, the Insurer shall have
the exclusive responsibility and complete discretionary authority to make all
decisions with respect to claims, with all powers necessary to enable it to
properly carry out such responsibility, including, but not limited to, the power
to construe the terms of the Group Policy, to determine status, coverage and
eligibility of claims, and to resolve all interpretive and other questions that
shall arise while doing so. All such actions or determinations of the Insurer
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 4(b), the Plan Administrator, and not the
Insurer, shall have the exclusive responsibility and complete discretionary
authority to determine whether an individual has been classified on the Plan
Sponsor's or a participating affiliate's payroll, personnel and benefits system
for any period as its employee for purposes of this Plan and shall be the "named
fiduciary" under the Plan for such purpose. All actions and determinations made
by the Plan Administrator in the scope of his or her authority under the Plan
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

5. Plan Year

The plan year for the Plan shall coincide with the policy year of the Group
Policy.

6. Financing the Plan

All Plan benefits shall be funded through the purchase of the Group Policy;
provided, however, that any payments made to or credits to the Plan Sponsor in
accordance with the experience rating provisions, if any, of the Group Policy
shall be the separate property of the Plan Sponsor. Eligible employees covered
under the Plan shall make such contributions to the cost of the Group Policy as
the Plan Administrator may require from time to time.

7. Plan Expenses

All reasonable and proper expenses incurred in administering the Plan shall
be paid by the Plan unless the Plan Sponsor, in its absolute discretion, elects
to pay any or all of such expenses.

8. Limitation of Rights

The Plan shall not give any employee, former employee or dependent any
right or claim except to the extent that such right is specifically fixed under
the terms of the Plan. Neither the establishment nor the continuance of the Plan
shall be construed as giving any employee a right to be continued in the employ
of the Plan Sponsor or any affiliate or as interfering with the right of the
Plan Sponsor or any affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any
time.

9. Failure of Enforcement as Waiver

The failure of the Plan Sponsor, the Plan Administrator, or the Insurer to
enforce at any time any of the provisions of the Plan, or to require at any time
performance of any of the provisions of the Plan, shall in no way be construed
to be a waiver of such provisions, nor in any way to effect the validity of the
Plan or any part thereof or the right of the Plan Sponsor, Plan Administrator,
or Insurer to thereafter enforce each and every such provision.

10. Amendment and Termination of the Plan

The Plan Administrator may terminate, suspend, amend or modify the Plan in
whole or part at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, to
reduce or eliminate coverage for one or more groups of individuals and to change
or increase at any time the amounts payable by covered persons under the Plan
including, without limitation, the amounts of contributions required for Plan
coverage), by written action, and any such termination, suspension, amendment or
modification may be made retroactively and, further, may be made without advance
notice to any person; provided, however, that no amendment to the benefit or
other provisions of the Group Policy may be made without the approval of the
Insurer.

11. Applicable Law

The Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects
under and by the laws of the State of Georgia, except to the extent that Federal
law is controlling.

POLICY PROVISIONS

Premium Rates

The monthly premium for each insured Employee is as follows:

* $253.52 for Employee only coverage.

* $519.19 for Employee plus Spouse coverage.

* $732.15 for Employee plus Family coverage.


The Company's Right to Change the Rates

The Company can change the premium rates on:

* A Premium Due Date.

* The date of a change in Plan benefits or provisions.

* The effective date of any change in federal laws or state regulations which
affect the Company's obligations under this policy.

The Company also has the right to change the rates retroactive to the Effective
Date if an Employee makes a material misrepresentation that affects the
conditions under which the policy was issued.

However, the Company may not increase the rates before either of the following
times, except for an increase due to a change in the number of Employees, a
change in Plan, a change in federal laws or state regulations or Employee
misrepresentation:

The first Policy Anniversary.

12 months after a previous increase in premium rates.

The Employer will be notified at least 60 days in advance of any increase in
premium rates.

Premiums: Where and How Payable

Premium is the money paid by the Employer to the Company for insurance coverage.
Premiums are paid at the Home Office or to an authorized agent of the Company.
Premiums are paid in advance each month on or before the Premium Due Date except
that premiums for each conversion policy or certificate issued during a calendar
quarter are paid to the Company quarterly in arrears.

The first premium is due on and must be paid by the Effective Date of the
policy.


Premium Computation and Adjustment

Premium Computation

Each monthly premium is calculated based on the number of enrollees, each
enrollee's coverage classification the Company shows in its records at the time
of the calculation and the premium rates then in effect.




The Employer shall notify the Company in writing within 30 days of the effective
date of additions, terminations or other changes. The Employer shall notify the
Company in writing each month of any changes in the coverage classification of
any enrollee.

Premium Adjustment

The Company will make a retroactive adjustment of the premium for any additions,
terminations or changes in coverage classification not shown in the Company's
records at the time premium is calculated.

No retroactive credit will be made for:

* any change which occurs more than 60 days prior to the date the Employer
notifies the Company of the change

* any month in which an individual has received services or supplies under
the terms of the policy.

The Employer may notify the Company in writing to end the policy during a time
for which premium has been paid. The Company will make an adjustment of the
premium to the Employer for the time between the date the policy ends and the
end of the period for which premium has been paid.


Retrospective Rating

Insurance under this policy is subject to retrospective experience rating. This
means that the Company may at the end of any policy year retrospectively reduce,
but not increase, the premium for such policy year due to claims experience. The
claims experience of the class of business as a whole, of which the Employer is
a part, and to the extent allowed by law, the claims experience of each Employer
under this policy will be used to determine the premium rates. To the extent
allowed by law, the rates may also be based on some or all of the following
characteristics of the Employer: age, sex, family status, industry or
occupation, size of the Employer, location of the Employer, underwriting
classification, duration of coverage since underwriting, health status of
covered individuals, benefit plan design, and such other factors as the Company
may determine from time to time.


Grace Period

This section applies only to premiums due after the Effective Date of the
policy.

If premiums are not paid by a Premium Due Date, the policy will only stay in
force for 31 days. The Employer must pay premiums for the time the policy stays
in force. If written notice to end the policy is given by the Employer before
the end of the 31 days, an adjustment of the premium will be made.


Employee's Individual Certificate

The Company will issue Certificates of Insurance and any attachments to the
Employer for delivery to each covered Employee. The certificate and any
attachments will show all the benefits and provisions of the health insurance
plan.


Employer's Information Reports

The Company needs certain data. It is used to figure amounts of insurance and
premiums. The Employer must give the data when it is requested by the Company.






Inspection of Records by the Company

The Company has the right to inspect records of the Employer that relate to the
insurance or the premiums. The Company will have this right at all reasonable
times.


Entire Contract

This policy is governed by the laws of the State or other Jurisdiction of Issue.
The entire contract is made up of the following:

* This policy, including all Certificates and any attachments.

* The Employer's application,

* The Employees' applications, if there are any.

Unless there is fraud, all statements made by the Employer or Employees will be
considered as statements of fact, not as guarantees.

A covered person's statement can not be used in defense to a claim under the
policy unless a copy of the statement has been given to the person.


Clerical Error

Clerical error shall not deprive any person of coverage under the policy or
create a right to benefits. Failure to report the termination of a person's
coverage shall not continue such coverage beyond the date it is scheduled to end
according to the terms of the policy. Upon discovery of a clerical error, any
necessary appropriate adjustment in premium shall be made. However, the Company
will not make an adjustment in premium or coverage for more than 60 days of
coverage prior to the date the Employer notifies the Company of such clerical
error.

Modifications

No one can change the policy, any of its conditions or the Premium Due Date
without the written consent of the Company.

The Company can change the policy (including the benefits and provisions in the
Certificates of Insurance) on a Policy Anniversary. The change must be effective
on a uniform basis on all policies which provide the same type of group health
product in the small and/or large group market. Employer agreement is not
needed.

The policy can also be changed if the Company and the Employer agree. Employee
agreement is not needed.

Any change has to agree with the laws of the State or other Jurisdiction of
Issue.

Any change has to be signed by an Officer of the Company and attached to this
policy before it is valid.

Benefits can not be reduced for an expense incurred before the date of the
change.


No Replacement for Workers' Compensation

This policy does not replace Workers' Compensation or affect any requirement for
Workers' Compensation




coverage.



Discontinuance of Policy

The policy and all of the insurance ends on the earliest of the following:

* The date the premium is not paid when due. Unless the Employer gives
advance written notice to the Company to end the policy, the Grace Period
applies. During the Grace Period the policy stays in force for 31 days. The
Employer must pay premium for the time the policy stays in force. The Grace
Period applies even if the Employer replaces this policy with another plan
of insurance but has not given notice to the Company.

* The first Premium Due Date after the Employer gives the Company written
notice to end the policy. If the Employer does not give advance notice and
the policy ends because the premium is not paid, the Grace Period applies.

must pay premium for the time the policy stays in force. The Grace Period

safe and effective for treating or diagnosing the condition or illness for
which its use is proposed.

The Company, in its judgment, may deem an Experimental, Investigational or

SECTION 5

GENERAL PROVISIONS


Section 5.1 Entire Policy. The Policy, including the Certificate of Coverage as
Attachment A, the application, Amendments and Riders, constitutes the entire
Policy. All statements made by the Enrolling Group or by a Subscriber shall, in
the absence of fraud, be deemed representations and not warranties.

Section 5.2 Time Limit on Certain Defenses. No statement, except a fraudulent
statement, made by the Enrolling Group shall be used to void the Policy after it
has been in force for a period of two years.

Section 5.3 Amendments and Alterations. Amendments to the Policy are effective
upon 31 days written notice to the Enrolling Group. Riders are effective on the
date specified by the Company. No change will be made to the Policy unless it is
made by an Amendment or a Rider which is signed by an officer of the Company. No
agent has authority to change the Policy or to waive any of its provisions.

Section 5.4 Relationship Between Parties. The relationships between the Company
and providers and relationships between the company and Enrolling Groups, are
solely contractual relationships between independent contractors. Network
providers and Enrolling Groups are not agents or employees of the Company, nor
is the Company or any employee of the Company an agent or employee of providers
or Enrolling Groups.

The relationship between a provider and any Covered Person is that of provider
and patient. The provider is solely responsible for the services provided to any
Covered Person.

The relationship between the Enrolling Group and Covered Persons is that of
employer and employee, Dependent or other Coverage classification as defined in
the Policy. The Enrolling Group is solely responsible for enrollment and
Coverage classification changes (including termination of a Covered Person's
Coverage through the Company), for the timely payment of the Policy Charge to
the Company, and for notifying Covered Persons of the termination of the Policy.

Section 5.5 Records. You must furnish the Company with all information and
proofs which it may reasonably require regarding any matters pertaining to the
Policy.

By accepting Coverage under the Policy, you authorize and direct any person or
institution that has provided services to you, to furnish the Company any and
all information and records or copies of records relating to the services
provided to you. The Company has the right to request this information at any
reasonable time. This applies to all Covered Persons, including Enrolled
Dependents whether or not they have signed the Subscriber's enrollment form.

GP(99)
10


The Company agrees that such information and records will be considered
confidential. The Company has the right to release any and all records
concerning health care services which are necessary to implement and administer
the terms of the Policy or for appropriate medical review or quality assessment.

The Company is permitted to charge you reasonable fees to cover costs for
completing requested medical abstracts or forms which you have requested.

In some cases, the Company will designate other persons or entities to request
records or information from or related to you and to release those records as
necessary. The Company's designees have the same rights to this information as
does the Company.

During and after the term of the Policy, the Company and its related entities
may use and transfer the information gathered under the Policy for research and
analytic purposes.

Section 5.6 ERISA. When the Policy is purchased by the Enrolling Group to
provide benefits under a welfare plan governed by the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act 29 U.S.C. [Section] 1001 et seq., the Company is not the plan
administrator or named fiduciary of the welfare plan, as those terms are used in
ERISA.

Section 5.7 Clerical Error. If a clerical error or other mistake occurs, that
error shall not deprive you of Coverage under the Policy. A clerical error also
does not create a right to benefits.

Section 5.8 Notice. When the Company provides written notice regarding
administration of the Policy to an authorized representative of the Enrolling
Group, that notice is deemed notice to all affected Subscribers and their
Enrolled Dependents. The Enrolling Group is responsible for giving notice to
Covered Persons.

Section 5.9 Workers' Compensation Not Affected. The Coverage provided under the
Policy does not substitute for and does not affect any requirements for coverage
by workers' compensation insurance.

Section 5.10 Conformity with Statutes. Any provision of the Policy which, on its
effective date, is in conflict with the requirements of state or federal
statutes or regulations (of the jurisdiction in which delivered) is hereby
amended to conform to the minimum requirements of such statutes and regulations.

SECTION 6

COORDINATION OF BENEFITS

Section 6.1 Coordination of Benefits Applicability. This coordination of
benefits (COB) provision applies when a person has health care coverage under

GP(99)
11


more than one Coverage Plan. "Coverage Plan" is defined below.

The order of benefit determination rules below determine which Coverage Plan
will pay as the primary Coverage Plan. The primary Coverage Plan that pays first
pays without regard to the possibility that another Coverage Plan may cover some
expenses. A secondary Coverage Plan pays after the primary Coverage Plan and may
reduce the benefits it pays so that payments from all group Coverage Plans do
not exceed 100% of the total allowable expense.

Section 6.2 Definitions. For purposes of Section 6, terms are defined as
follows:

A. A "Coverage Plan" is any of the following that provides benefits or
services for medical or dental care or treatment. However, if separate
contracts are used to provide coordinated coverage for members of a group,
the separate contracts are considered parts of the same Coverage Plan and
there is no COB among those separate contracts.

1. "Plan" includes: group insurance, closed panel or other forms of group
or group-type coverage (whether insured or uninsured); medical care
components of group long-term care contracts, such as skilled nursing
care; medical benefits under group or individual automobile contracts;
and Medicare or other governmental benefits, as permitted by law.

2. "Plan" does not include: individual or family insurance; closed panel
or other individual coverage (except for group-type coverage); school
accident type coverage; benefits for non-medical components of group
long-term care policies; Medicare supplement policies, Medicaid
policies and coverage under other governmental plans, unless permitted
by law.

Each contract for coverage under (1) or (2) is a separate Coverage Plan. If
a Coverage Plan has two parts and COB rules apply only to one of the
two, each of the parts is treated as a separate Coverage Plan.

B. The order of benefit determination rules determine whether this Coverage
Plan is a "primary Coverage Plan" or "secondary Coverage Plan" when
compared to another Coverage Plan covering the person.

When this Coverage Plan is primary, its benefits are determined before
those of any other Coverage Plan and without considering any other coverage
Plan's benefits. When this Coverage Plan is secondary, its benefits are
determined after those of another Coverage Plan and may be reduced because
of the primary Coverage Plan's benefits.

C. "Allowable expense" means a health care service or expense, including
deductibles and copayments, that is covered at least in part by any of the
Coverage Plans covering the person. When a Coverage Plan provides benefits
in the form of services, (for example an HMO) the reasonable

CB(99)
12

cash value of each service will be considered an allowable expense and a
benefit paid. An expense or service that is not covered by any of the
Coverage Plans is not an allowable expense. The following are examples of
expenses or services that are not allowable expenses:

1. If a covered person is confined in a private hospital room, the
difference between the cost of a semi-private room in the hospital and
the private room, (unless the patient's stay in a private hospital
room is medically necessary in terms of generally accepted medical
practice, or one of the Coverage Plans routinely provides coverage for
hospital private rooms) is not an allowable expense.

2. If a person is covered by 2 or more Coverage Plans that compute their
benefit payments on the basis of reasonable and customary fees, any
amount in excess of the highest of the reasonable and customary fees
for a specific benefit is not an allowable expense.

3. If a person is covered by 2 or more Coverage Plans that provide
benefits or services on the basis of negotiated fees, an amount in
excess of the highest of the negotiated fees is not an allowable
expense.

4. If a person is covered by one Coverage Plan that calculates its
benefits or services on the basis of reasonable and customary fees and
another Coverage Plan that provides its benefits or services on the
basis of negotiated fees, the primary Coverage Plan's payment
arrangements shall be the allowable expense for all Coverage Plans.

5. The amount a benefit is reduced by the primary Coverage Plan because a
covered person does not comply with the Coverage Plan provisions.
Examples of these provisions are second surgical opinions,
precertification of admissions, and preferred provider arrangements.

D. "Claim determination period" means a calendar year. However, it does not
include any part of a year during which a person has no coverage under this
Coverage Plan, or before the date this COB provision or a similar provision
takes effect.

E. "Closed panel Coverage Plan" is a Coverage Plan that provides health
benefits to covered persons primarily in the form of services through a
panel of providers that have contracted with or are employed by the
Coverage Plan, and that limits or excludes benefits for services provided
by other provider, except in cases of emergency or referral by a panel
member.

F. "Custodial parent" means a parent awarded custody by a court decree. In the
absence of a court decree, it is the parent with whom the child resides

CB(99)
13

more than one half of the calendar year without regard to any
temporary visitation.


Section 6.3 Order of Benefit Determination Rules. When two or more Coverage
Plans pay benefits, the rules for determining the order of payment are as
follows:

A. The primary Coverage Plan pays or provides its benefits as if the secondary
Coverage Plan or Coverage Plans did not exist.

B. A Coverage Plan that does not contain a coordination of benefits provision
that is consistent with this provision is always primary. There is one
exception: coverage that is obtained by virtue of membership in a group
that is designed to supplement a part of a basic package of benefits may
provide that the supplementary coverage shall be excess to any other parts
of the Coverage Plan provided by the contract holder. Examples of these
types of situations are major medical coverages that are superimposed over
base Coverage Plan hospital and surgical benefits, and insurance type
coverages that are written in connection with a closed panel Coverage Plan
to provide out-of-network benefits.

C. A Coverage Plan may consider the benefits paid or provided by another
Coverage Plan in determining its benefits only when it is secondary to that
other Coverage Plan.

D. The first of the following rules that describes which Coverage Plan pays
its benefits before another Coverage Plan is the rule to use.

1. Non-Dependent or Dependent. The Coverage Plan that covers the person
other than as a dependent, for example as an employee, member,
subscriber or retiree is primary and the Coverage Plan that covers the
person as a dependent is secondary. However, if the person is a
Medicare beneficiary and, as a result of federal law, Medicare is
secondary to the Coverage Plan covering the person as a dependent; and
primary to the Coverage Plan covering the person as other than a
dependent (e.g. a retired employee); then the order of benefits
between the two Coverage Plans is reversed so that the Coverage Plan
covering the person as an employee, member, subscriber or retiree is
secondary and the other Coverage Plan is primary.

2. Child Covered Under More Than One Plan. The order of benefits when a
child is covered by more than one Coverage Plan is:

a. The primary Coverage Plan is the Coverage Plan of the parent
whose birthday is earlier in the year if:

1) the parents are married;

2) the parents are not separated (whether or not they

CB(99)
14

ever have been married; or
3) a court decree awards joint custody without
specifying that one party has the responsibility to provide
health care coverage.

If both parents have the same birthday, the Coverage Plan
that covered either of the parents longer is primary.

b. If the specific terms of a court decree state that one of the
parents is responsible for the child's health care expenses or
health care coverage and the Coverage Plan of that parent has
actual knowledge of those terms, that Coverage Plan is primary.
This rule applies to claim determination periods or Coverage Plan
years commencing after the Coverage Plan is given notice of the
court decree.

c. If the parents are not married, or are separated (whether or not
they ever have been married) or are divorced, the order of
benefits is:

1) the Coverage Plan of the custodial parent;

2) the Coverage Plan of the spouse of the custodial parent;

3) the Coverage Plan of the noncustodial parent; and then

4) the Coverage Plan of the spouse of the noncustodial parent.

3. Continuation coverage. If a person whose coverage is provided under a
right of continuation provided by federal or state law also is covered
under another Coverage Plan, the Coverage Plan covering the person as
an employee, member, subscriber or retiree (or as that person's
dependent) is primary, and the continuation coverage is secondary. If
the other Coverage Plan does not have this rule, and if, as a result,
the Coverage Plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule is
ignored.

4. Longer or shorter length of coverage. The Coverage Plan that covered
the person as an employee, member, subscriber or retiree longer is
primary.

5. If the preceding rules do not determine the primary Coverage Plan, the
allowable expenses shall be shared equally between the Coverage Plans
meeting the definition of Coverage Plan under this provision. In
addition, this Coverage Plan will not pay more than it would have paid
had it been primary.

CB(99)
15

Section 6.4 Effect on the Benefits of This Coverage Plan.

A. When this Coverage Plan is secondary, it may reduce its benefits so that
the total benefits paid or provided by all Coverage Plans during a claim
determination period are not more than 100 percent of total allowable
expenses. The difference between the benefit payments that this Coverage
Plan would have paid had it been the primary Coverage Plan, and the benefit
payments that it actually paid or provided shall be recorded as a benefit
reserve for the covered person and used by this Coverage Plan to pay any
allowable expenses, not otherwise paid during the claim determination
period. As each claim is submitted, this Coverage Plan will:

1. determine its obligation to pay or provide benefits under its
contract;

2. determine whether a benefit reserve has been recorded for the covered
person; and

3. determine whether there are any unpaid allowable expenses during that
claims determination period.

If there is a benefit reserve, the secondary Coverage Plan will use
the covered person's benefit reserve to pay up to 100% of total
allowable expenses incurred during the claim determination period. At
the end of the claims determination period, the benefit reserve
returns to zero. A new benefit reserve must be created for each new
claim determination period.

B. If a covered person is enrolled in two or more closed panel Coverage plans
and if, for any reason, including the provision of service by a non-panel
provider, benefits are not payable by one closed panel Coverage Plan, COB
shall not apply between that coverage Plan and other closed panel Coverage
Plans.

Section 6.5 Right to Receive and Release Needed Information. Certain facts about
health care coverage and services are needed to apply these COB rules and to
determine benefits payable under this Coverage Plan and other Coverage Plans.
The Company may get the facts it needs from or give them to other organizations
or persons for the purpose of applying these rules and determining benefits
payable under this Coverage Plan and other Coverage Plans covering the person
claiming benefits. The Company need not tell, or get the consent of, any person
to do this. The company need not tell, or get the consent of, any person to do
this. Each person claiming benefits under this Coverage Plan must give the
Company any facts it needs to apply those rules and determine benefits payable.
If you do not provide the Company the information it needs to apply these rules
and determine the benefits payable, your claim for benefits will be denied.


CB(99)
16

Section 6.6 Payments Made. A payment made under another Coverage Plan may
include an amount that should have been paid under this Coverage Plan. If it
does, the Company may pay that amount to the organization that made the payment.
That amount will then be treated as though it were a benefit paid under this
Coverage Plan. The Company will not have to pay that amount again. The term
"payment made" includes providing benefits in the form of services, in which
case "payment made" means reasonable cash value of the benefits provided in the
form of services.

Section 6.7 Right of Recovery. If the amount of the payments made by the Company
is more than it should have paid under this COB provision, it may recover the
excess from one or more of the persons it had paid or for whom it has paid; or
any other person or organization that may be responsible for the benefits or
services provided for the covered person. The "amount of the payments made"
includes the reasonable cash value of any benefits provided in the form of
services.

SECTION 7

CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE

Section 7.1 Continuation Coverage. A Covered Person whose Coverage ends under
the Policy may be entitled to elect continuation Coverage in accordance with
federal law (under COBRA) and as outlined in Sections 9.2 through 9.4 below [or
in accordance with state law and as outlined in Sections 9.5 - 9.7 below].

Continuation Coverage under COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act) shall apply only to Enrolling Groups which are subject to the provisions of
COBRA. Covered Persons should contact the Enrolling Group's plan administrator
to determine if he or she is entitled to continue Coverage under COBRA. For the
purpose of continuation Coverage under COBRA, a newborn child of a Subscriber or
a child placed for adoption with the Subscriber during the period of
continuation coverage shall be considered on the same basis as a Subscriber.

Continuation Coverage for Covered Persons who selected continuation coverage
under a prior plan which was replaced by Coverage under the Policy shall
terminate as scheduled under the prior plan or in accordance with the
terminating events set forth in Section 9.4 below, whichever is earlier.

In no event shall the Company be obligated to provide continuation Coverage to a
Covered Person if the Enrolling Group or its designated plan administrator fails
to perform its responsibilities under federal law. These responsibilities
include but are not limited to notifying the Covered Person in a timely manner
of the right to elect continuation Coverage and notifying the Company in a
timely manner of the Covered Person's election of continuation Coverage.


CB(99)
17

It is the Subscriber's responsibility to notify the Enrolling Group within 60
days of the date an Enrolled Dependent loses eligibility due to divorce or due
to an Enrolled Dependent child losing eligibility (i.e. reaching the limiting
age or failing to meet the criteria of a Full-time Student.) If you fail to
notify the Enrolling Group of these events within the 60 day period, the
Enrolling Group and its designated plan administrator are not obligated to
provide continuation Coverage for that Enrolled Dependent.

The Company is not the Enrolling Group's designated Plan Administrator and does
not assume any responsibilities of a Plan Administrator pursuant to federal law.

A Covered Person whose Coverage would otherwise end under the Policy may be
entitled to elect continuation Coverage in accordance with federal law, as
outlined in Sections 9.2 through 9.4 below.

Section 7.2 Qualifying Events for Continuation Coverage Under Federal Law. If
the Covered Person's Coverage terminated due to one of the following qualifying
events, he or she is entitled to continue Coverage. The Covered Person may elect
the same Coverage that he or she had at the time of the qualifying event.


A. Termination of the Subscriber from employment with the Enrolling Group or
reduction of hours, for any reason other than gross misconduct; or

B. death of the Subscriber; or

C. divorce or legal separation of the Subscriber; or

D. loss of eligibility by an Enrolled Dependent who is a child; or

E. entitlement of the Subscriber to Medicare benefits; or

F. the Enrolling Group filing for bankruptcy, under Title XI, United States
Code, on or after July 1, 1986, but only for a retired Subscriber and his
or her Enrolled Dependents. This is also a qualifying event for any retired
Subscriber and his or her Enrolled Dependents if there is a substantial
elimination of coverage within one year before or after the date the
bankruptcy was filed.

Section 7.3 Notification Requirements and Election Period for Continuation
Coverage Under Federal Law. The Covered Person must notify the Enrolling Group's
designated plan administrator within 60 days of his or her divorce, legal
separation or loss of eligibility as an Enrolled Dependent. A Covered Person who
is continuing Coverage under Federal Law must notify the Enrolling Group's
designated plan administrator within 60 days of the birth or adoption of a
child.

Continuation must be elected by the later of 60 days after the Covered Person's
qualifying event occurs; or 60 days after the Covered Person receives notice of

CV4
18

the continuation right from the Enrolling Group's designated plan administrator.

A Covered Person whose Coverage was terminated due to a qualifying event must
pay the initial Premium due to the Enrolling Group's designated plan
administrator on or before the 45th day after electing continuation.

Section 7.4 Terminating Events for Continuation Coverage Under Federal Law.
Continuation under the Policy will end on the earliest of the following dates:

A. Eighteen months from the date continuation began for a Covered Person whose
Coverage ended because employment was terminated or hours were reduced, in
accordance with qualifying event (A) described in Section 9.2. A Covered
Person who is disabled at the time of the qualifying event or within the
first 60 days of continuation Coverage may extend continuation Coverage to
a maximum of 29 months as described below.

A Covered Person who is disabled at the date of qualifying event (A) or
within the first 60 days of continuation Coverage for qualifying event (A)
must provide notice of such disability within 60 days after the
determination of the disability, and in no event later than the end of the
first 18 months, in order to extend Coverage beyond 18 months. If such
notice is provided, the Covered Person's Coverage may be extended up to a
maximum of 29 months from the date of qualifying event (A) or until the
first month that begins more than 30 days after the date of any final
determination that the qualified beneficiary is no longer disabled. Each
Covered Person must provide notice of any final determination that the
qualified beneficiary is no longer disabled within 30 days of such
determination.

B. Thirty-six months from the date continuation began for an Enrolled
Dependent whose Coverage ended because of the death of the Subscriber,
divorce or legal separation of the Subscriber, loss of eligibility by an
Enrolled Dependent who is a child or entitlement of the Subscriber to
Medicare benefits, in accordance with qualifying events (B), (C), (D) or
(E) described in Section 9.2.

C. The date Coverage terminates under the Policy for failure to make timely
payment of the Premium.

D. The date, after electing continuation Coverage, that coverage is first
obtained under any other group health plan. If such coverage contains a
limitation or exclusion with respect to any preexisting condition of the
Covered Person, continuation shall end on the date such limitation or
exclusion ends. The other group health coverage shall be primary for all
health services except those health services that are subject to the
preexisting condition limitation or exclusion.


CV4
19

E. The date, after electing continuation Coverage, that the Covered Person
first becomes entitled to Medicare, except that this shall not apply in the
event the Covered Person's Coverage was terminated because the Enrolling
Group filed for bankruptcy, in accordance with qualifying event (F)
described in Section 9.2.

F. The date the entire Policy ends.

G. The date Coverage would otherwise terminate under the Policy.

If a Covered Person is entitled to 18 months of continuation and a second
qualifying event occurs during that time, the Covered Person's Coverage may be
extended up to a maximum of 36 months from the date Coverage ended because
employment was terminated or hours were reduced, in accordance with qualifying
event (A) described in Section 9.2. If a Covered Person is entitled to
continuation because the Enrolling Group filed for bankruptcy, in accordance
with qualifying event (F) described in Section 9.2 and the retired Subscriber
dies during the continuation period, the Enrolled Dependents shall be entitled
to continue Coverage for 36 months from the date of death. Terminating events
(B) through (G) described in this Section 9.4 shall apply during the extended
continuation period.

Continuation Coverage for Enrolled Dependents of a Subscriber whose continuation
Coverage terminates because the Subscriber becomes entitled to Medicare may be
extended for an additional period of time. Such Covered Persons should contact
the Enrolling Group's designated plan administrator for information regarding
the continuation period.


SECTION 8

COVERED HEALTH SERVICES

The Company will pay for 100% of the Covered Health Expenses incurred by a
Covered Person during the time he or she is enrolled under the Coverage. The
