   • You own it. VMware’s contribution and your own HSA contributions are yours. You can take your
       account with you when you retire or leave VMware for any reason.

MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HSA
In addition to the contributions from VMware, you can make your own pre-tax contributions to your HSA. Making contributions is easy:
   • Make pre-tax contributions through payroll deductions (simply elect the amount you want to contribute during Open Enrollment).
   • Change your payroll contributions at any time.
   • Make post-tax contributions directly to HealthEquity online or by sending a check.
   • Make contributions any time after your HSA is open and until April 15 of the following calendar year.
   • HealthEquity makes it easy to manage your account. You will receive a debit card and can access and manage your balance
       online at www.healthequity.com/ed/VMware.
   • Remember, VMware’s HSA contribution counts towards the 2018 maximum IRS HSA limit of $3,450 (individual) or $6,900 (family).
       If you are 55 years old or turning 55 in 2018 this limit is increased by $1,000.

YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO ENROLL IN THE HSA IF YOU ARE:
   •   Not covered under any other traditional health plan or Health Care FSA.
   •   Not enrolled in Medicare or Tricare.
   •   If you have a disability rating under a VA plan or are not currently receiving any health benefits from the Veterans Administration
       (or have received any in the last three months).

* Employer and employee contributions to the HSA are tax-free for federal and most state taxes. However, HSA contributions are not tax deductible for AL, CA and NJ.

YOURS TO KEEP
Your HSA is a personal savings account — you own your contributions and the contributions from VMware. If you leave VMware for
any reason, you take the account with you. You can use this money to pay for eligible medical expenses for your lifetime.

NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE HSA? WE’VE GOT YOU
COVERED!
If you are not eligible for an HSA, you can still enroll in the HSA PPO.
When enrolling in your 2018 benefits, select “HSA PPO non-HSA Eligible”.
For employees who enroll in the HSA PPO and are not HSA eligible,
VMware will provide a taxable bonus equal to the HSA contribution
($750 individual / $1,500 family) for the same tier of coverage. In order
to qualify for the taxable bonus, you will need to submit timely proof of
coverage within 60 days. Examples of proof of coverage include:
   • Medicare enrollment card
   • Your spouse’s medical plan enrollment information (health plan and/
       or FSA)
   • Tricare coverage/enrollment card

Short and Long Term Disability
VMware provides Short Term and Long Term Disability insurance coverage to you at no cost to you. Short Term and Long Term Disability
benefits replace a portion of your base pay or On Target Earnings (OTE) for sales employees, if you become ill, injured or disabled and
are unable to work. These plans provide you valuable income protection and can help you and your dependents when you truly need it.

SHORT TERM DISABILITY (STD)
Short Term Disability (STD) provides wage replacement benefits of 70% of pay per week, offset by any state mandated disability plans
or Workers’ Compensation, for your certified medical disability. Benefits begin after seven days following your injury or illness. During
the waiting period, five business days of accrued Sick Time must be used. STD covers a maximum payment period of 25 weeks. The
disability benefits you receive under the plan are taxable.

LONG TERM DISABILITY (LTD)
The Long Term Disability (LTD) benefit is provided through Cigna and coverage begins on the date your STD payments end, or 180
days following your injury or illness. LTD provides a benefit equal to 60% of your monthly income. The minimum monthly benefit is
$100 or 10% of your gross disability payment, whichever is more. The maximum monthly benefit is $15,000. The disability benefits you
receive under the LTD plan are taxable. If you choose, you can pay taxes on the company paid premiums, so that disability benefits
you receive are tax-free.

               DID YOU KNOW?
               You can pay the taxes on the company paid premiums, so that the STD and/or LTD benefits you receive will be
               tax free. For this option, select the appropriate box during the enrollment process.

               CA VMware employees automatically receive a tax free benefit under the VMware Voluntary Disability plan.
               CA Nicira employees automatically receive a tax free benefit under the CA State Disability plan.
