Re: PARS Administration Packet
Dear PARS Administrator;
Enclosed are several revised documents for your use in administering PARS. Please use diem to replace earlier versions.
1. PARS Contribution and Data Submission Instructions
Please read this document carefully and call Phase II if you have any questions or problems in submitting
data or contributions in the manner described.
2. Participant Enrollment Form* (optional form)
This form is provided for your convenience in administering PARS. You may choose instead to use your
payroll database or other personnel records to maintain this information. The purpose of maintaining the
data is to expedite distribution of PARS benefits when an employee becomes eligible. The use of this form
is optional.
3. Request for Distribution Form*
This form sets in motion the distribution process for employees who are leaving PARS for any reason
(i.e., death, disability, termination of employment or retirement).
4. Change of Name, Address, or Beneficiary Form*
Under PARS, the spouse is automatically the beneficiary. For an unmarried participant, the estate is the
beneficiary. This form may be used to designate a beneficiary other than the spouse or the estate. This
form may also be used to indicate a change of name or address.
5. Sample Employee Announcement
It is essential that you inform eligible employees of the adoption of PARS and of the impending payroll
deduction before the first payroll deduction is made. A sample Employee Announcement is enclosed for this
purpose.
6. General Information for PARS Participants*
This brief description of PARS is suitable for distribution to employees.
We are in the process of preparing other documents for you (such as the Summary Plan Description, PARS PIan
Document, and IRS Application for Determination of Employee Benefit Plan). Please call us at Phase II if you have any
questions or concerns with any aspect of PARS administration. We look forward to bearing from you.
Sincerely,
Karen Zfaty, M.B.A.
Director, Marketing Services

PARS Magnetic Tape Specifications
Phase lI can process data in-house on all types of IBM PC -formatted diskettes and on DC2000 mini data cartridges
formatted for the Mountain TD4000 Tape Backup System. We must take other magnetic tapes off-site to have them
converted to diskettes and the fee for this is charged to the PARS plan expenses. Therefore, it is to the advantage of
PARS Participants that we receive the data on diskettes or data cartridges. If data is sent on magnetic tape, however,
the tape and data should be formatted in the following way:

Section 3A: General Rules for Designation of Beneficiary
1. It is your responsibility to keep the Designation of Beneficiary current.
2. You reserve the right to revoke or change your Designation of Beneficiary,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.
3. If, upon your death, there is no valid Designation of Beneficiary on file with
the Plan Administrator, any death benefits which become due will be paid in
accordance with the Plan Document.
4. YOU ARE CONSIDERED MARRIED if you are under decree of separate
maintenance or decree of legal separation. (See "Special Rules for Married
Participants" below.)
Section 3B: Special Rules for Married Participants
1. IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL LAW, THE PLAN
REQUIRES THAT IF YOU ARE MARRIED, YOUR SURVIVING
SPOUSE WILL BE YOUR SOLE PRIMARY BENEFICIARY.
2. If you wish to designate a person or persons other than your spouse, or in
addition to your spouse, you must obtain the notarized consent of your
spouse in writing on this form. Failure to obtain your spouse's consent in
these instances renders this designation invalid.
3. ANY CONSENT BY A SPOUSE APPLIES ONLY TO THAT SPOUSE
AND NOT TO ANY FUTURE SPOUSE. Therefore, if a new marriage
occurs, a new Designation of Beneficiary should be completed and, if
necessary, the new spouse's consent must be obtained.
4. IF THE LOCATION OF YOUR SPOUSE IS UNKNOWN, you must attach
to this Designation of Beneficiary form, a notarized statement to the effect
that the spouse cannot be located
