Pretax contributions:YourcontributionstothePlansaredeductedfromyourpaybeforefederalincome
taxesaretakenout.Thisisreferredtoasa“pretaxcontribution”andcanlowertheamountofincometaxes
you currently pay.
Tax-deferred growth:BecauseeachPlaniswhat’sknownasa“qualifiedplan,”youwillpaynotaxesonany
earningsinyourPlanaccountuntilyoureceiveadistributionfromthePlan,soyourmoneycangrowfaster.
When you retire and start making withdrawals, you will be taxed on the money you take out, but you may
well be in a lower tax bracket at that time.

Determineinvestmentsthatarerightforyou.
Completeyourenrollment.
First: Let’s see why it’s important to start today.
Getstartedtoday.
Starting now can have an impact on your account.
Your decision to start today could give you quite a bit more savings at retirement than starting five
years from now.
Hypothetical example:
Potential growth if you contribute $100 of your paycheck monthly
Potential account value
in 10 years (2024)
Potential account value
in 20 years (2034)
Start today $16,580* $49,195*
Wait five years to start $6,901 $30,155
$9,679 difference $19,040 difference
* Increase your contribution to $200 a month, and your potential account value could be even
more $33,159 in 10 years and $98,389 in 20 years.
This hypothetical illustration is based on the following assumptions: (1) Hypothetical participant remains employed and contributes
$100 ($200 in the second example) at the beginning of each month throughout the periods shown, (2) a hypothetical effective
annual rate of return of 7%, (3) reinvestment of all earnings, (4) no withdrawals or loans throughout the indicated periods, and
(5) participant is 100% vested. Income taxes, inflation, fees, and expenses are not taken into account. If they were, values would be
lower. Earnings, pretax contributions, and employer contributions in a tax-deferred plan are subject to income taxes when withdrawn,
and if distributions are taken before age 59½ may also be subject to a 10% penalty. Individual results will vary. Systematic investing
does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss in a declining market. This example is for illustrative purposes only and
does not represent the performance of any investment. Contributions are subject to Plan and IRS limits, and such limits are indexed
and adjusted for cost of living increases. Plan limits may be less than IRS limits. For highly compensated employees, additional limits
may apply.
This hypothetical illustration is for educational purposes. Actual benefits are provided solely according to the terms of the Plan.
A participant’s actual account balance at any point in the future will be determined by the contributions that have been made, any
Plan or account activity, and any investment gains or losses that may occur. The illustrations of future balances should in no way be
construed to imply any guarantee of future employment.

Step
Herearesomesuggestionsfor
setting your contribution amount:
• Try for 10%.Fidelityconsiders10%–15%per
paycheckaverygoodstart.Thisamountcan
take you a long way toward reaching your
financialgoals.
•Do what you can afford—you can change
your contribution amount later if needed.
Startwithanamountthatfeelscomfortableto
you.Theimportantthingistoinvestwhatyou
canaffordandstartrightaway.
•  Invest more in the Plan, pay less in taxes.

Determineinvestments
thatarerightforyou.

Step
What kind of investor are you? The answer to this question will determine
which Plan investments may be right for you. The Plan offers a range of
investments, so you can build your portfolio your way.
Option A:
Are you a hands-on investor?
•Doyouwanttomakeyourowninvestmentdecisions?
•Doyouhavethetimetoactivelymanageyourinvestments?
•Areyoucomfortablebuildingyourownportfolio?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the following steps will help you
build your portfolio.
First,startbyfindingyourapproach.
Areyouaconservativeinvestor?Anaggressive
investor?Somewhereinbetween?Theansweris
afunctionofthreethings.Thefirstisthelength
oftimeyouhavetoinvest—inthiscase,the
numberofyearsuntilyouexpecttoretire.The
secondisyourcomfortwithrisk.Thethirdis
yourfinancialsituation.
Ifyourtimehorizonislong,yourrisktolerance
ishigh,andyourfinancialsituationstable,
youmaybeanaggressiveinvestor.Onthe
otherhand,ifyou’llneedyourmoneysoon,
areuncomfortablewithrisk,andyourfinancial
situation is somewhat uncertain, you may need
amoreconservativeapproach.Manyinvestors
may be somewhere in between, taking a growth
or balanced approach.
Tohelpdetermineyourpossibleinvestment
approach,considerthesefactors:
•Theageyouwanttoretire
•Yourcomfortlevelwiththestockmarket’s
ups and downs
•Whetheryoupreferstabilityorthepotential
forbiggerreturns,whichentailsgreaterrisk
•Yourshort-andlong-termfinancialneeds
*Hypothetical, for illustrative purposes only.
Here are the approaches two
others have taken.*

meetaparticipant’sgoals.Youshouldchooseyourowninvestmentsbasedonyourparticularobjectivesandsituation.Remember,you
maychangehowyouraccountisinvested.Besuretoreviewyourdecisionsperiodicallytomakesuretheyarestillconsistentwithyour
goals.YoushouldalsoconsideranyinvestmentsyouhaveoutsidethePlanwhenmakingyourinvestmentchoices.

manycombinationsthatcouldbecreatedandshouldnotbeconsideredinvestmentadvice.
Next, learn about the different
kinds of investments.
There are four basic investment types short-
term investments, stable value investments,
bonds, and stocks. And they, like investors, fall
along a range from conservative to aggressive.
Short-term investments are the most
conservative. Short-term investments, like
money market funds, are also known as “cash”
investments. They involve the least amount of
risk, but also provide the lowest potential return.
Bonds and stable value investments are in
the middle. Bonds are generally less risky than
stocks. These investment types typically offer
moderate returns compared with stocks. Stable
value investments seek to preserve principal and
provide income by means of a stable rate of
interest.
Stocks are the most aggressive. Although
past investment results do not guarantee future
results, this investment type has historically
provided the highest long-term returns and the
greatest risk. Stock investments include large
(large cap), medium-sized (mid-cap), and small
(small cap) U.S. companies, as well as foreign
companies. However, each of these types of
stock investments has its own level of risk for
example, small cap tends to be more risky than
large cap.
Then, select the right mix of
investment types for your situation.
Once you know how conservative or aggressive
your approach is as an investor, and you
understand the difference between investment
types, you can figure out what mix of investment
types matches your approach.
This chart shows how four hypothetical investment mixes align with different approaches
to investing, from relatively conservative to relatively aggressive.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to consider the following:
Fidelity Freedom K® Funds offer a single-
fund approach to investing. Lifecycle funds
are designed for investors expecting to retire
around the year indicated in each fund’s
name. The investment risk of each lifecycle
fund changes over time as each fund’s asset
allocation changes. The funds are subject to
the volatility of the financial markets, including
that of equity and fixed income investments
in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject
to risks associated with investing in high-yield,
small-cap, commodity-linked, and foreign
securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed
at any time, including at or after the fund’s
applicable target date.

How are employer contributions calculated
under the Plans?
IfyouareenrolledintheRSVP,youremployer
may,butisnotrequiredto,makeemployer
contributionsonyourbehalf.Ifyouareenrolled
intheLayDCPlan,youremployerisrequiredto
makeemployercontributionsonyourbehalfas
explainedintheimmediatelyprecedingFAQ.In
eithercase,thetypesofemployercontributions
thatcanbemadetothePlansarethesameand
are described below.
Anemployer base contribution is a percentage
ofyourtotalwagesthatisreportedorwould
bereportableintheboxtitled“Medicare
WagesandTips”ofFormW-2,plusanypretax
contributionstoacafeteriaplan.Inaddition,all
overtime,bonuses,commissions,andseverance
pay generally will be included in compensation
forpurposesofdeterminingtheamountof
theemployerbasecontribution.Ifyoureceive
church-providedhousing,youremployeralso
mustincludeanamountequivalenttothevalue
ofmaintenancefurnishedtoyou(includingutility
and room and board expenses and the rental
valueofhousing).
Anemployer matching contribution is a
percentageoftheamountthatyouactually
contributetothePlan.Bothpretaxandafter-tax
salarydeferralsarematchedonadollarfordollar
basis.Tomaximizeyouremployermatch,you
shouldtrytocontributethesamepercentageof
your compensation that your employer matches.
Forexample,ifyouremployermatchesupto
4%ofanemployee’scompensation,youshould
contribute4%ofyourcompensationonapretax
and/orafter-taxbasis.Ifyoureceivechurch-
providedhousing,however,youmustcontribute
more than the employer match percent in order
tofullymaximizetheemployermatch.Thisis
because,underIRSregulations,youcannotmake
salarydeferralsoncompensationthatyoudonot
actuallyreceive.
Please see the following example:
Cashcompensation=$40,000
Valueofhousing=$10,000
Employerbasecontribution=5%
Employermatchingcontribution=upto4%
Employeeelectivepretaxsalarydeferral=4%
Theemployeewillreceiveanemployerbase
contributionequalto$2,500(i.e.5%x($40,000
+$10,000)).Themaximumemployermatching
contributionis$2,000,whichis4%ofthe
employee’stotalcompensationof$50,000(i.e.
$40,000+$10,000).Basedontheemployee’s
electionofa4%pretaxsalarydeferral,the
employer matching contribution that the
employeewillactuallyreceiveis$1,600(i.e.4%
x$40,000)becausetheemployeecannotmake
asalarydeferralonthevalueofhousing.To
maximizetheemployermatch,theemployee
wouldhavetocontributeanadditional$400to
thePlan,whichamountisequivalentto1%ofthe
employee’scashcompensationof$40,000(i.e.
$400/$40,000=1%).Thus,theemployeeneeds
toelecta5%pretaxsalarydeferralinorderto
maximizetheemployermatch.Allcontributions
aresubjecttotheIRSlimitsdescribedabove.

Before investing in any investment option, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges,
and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a mutual fund or variable annuity prospectus or, if available,
a summary prospectus. For information on fixed annuities, contact Fidelity to request a fact
sheet. Read them carefully.
American Century Investments Inflation Adjusted Bond Fund Institutional Class
FPRS Code: OKLX
Ticker: AIANX
Objective: The investment seeks total return and inflation protection consistent with investment in inflation-
indexed securities.
Strategy: Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in inflation-adjusted debt securities.
It may invest up to 20% of its assets in traditional U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agency or other non-U.S. government
securities that are not inflation-indexed.
Risk: The interest payments of TIPS are variable; they generally rise with inflation and fall with deflation. In general the
bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually
fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry
inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds
do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.
Additional risk information for this product may be found in the prospectus or other product materials, if available.
Short-term Redemption Fee Note: None
Who may want to invest:
• Someone who is seeking potential returns primarily in the form of interest dividends and who can tolerate more
frequent changes in the size of dividend distributions than those usually found with more conservative bond funds.
• Someone who is seeking to supplement his or her core fixed-income holdings with a bond investment that is tied to
changes in inflation.
A mutual fund registered under American Century Government Income Trust, and managed by American Century Inv
Mgt, Inc. This description is only intended to provide a brief overview of the fund. Read the fund’s prospectus for more
detailed information about the fund.
American Funds EuroPacific Growth Fund Class R-6
FPRS Code: OUBE
Ticker: RERGX
Objective: The investment seeks long-term growth of capital.
Strategy: The fund invests primarily in common stocks of issuers in Europe and the Pacific Basin that the investment
adviser believes have the potential for growth. Growth stocks are stocks that the investment adviser believes have the
potential for above-average capital appreciation. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets in securities of issuers
in Europe and the Pacific Basin. The fund may invest a portion of its assets in common stocks and other securities of
companies in countries with developing economies and/or markets.
Risk: Foreign securities are subject to interest-rate, currency-exchange-rate, economic, and political risks, all of which
may be magnified in emerging markets. Value and growth stocks can perform differently from other types of stocks.
Growth stocks can be more volatile. Value stocks can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market,
economic or other developments. Additional risk information for this product may be found in the prospectus or other
product materials, if available.
Short-term Redemption Fee Note: None
Who may want to invest:
• Someone who is seeking to complement a portfolio of domestic investments with international investments, which can
behave differently.
• Someone who is willing to accept the higher degree of risk associated with investing overseas.
A mutual fund registered under EuroPacific Growth Fund, and managed by Capital Research and Management Company.

ing greater stability than a traditional income (bond) fund.
Strategy: Invests primarily in high-quality investment-grade securities including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasury, agency

Risk: The fund is backed by a diversified portfolio of fixed-income assets held in the general account of the issuer.
Guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuer. The Contracts provide for the payment of certain
withdrawals and exchanges at book value during the terms of the Contracts.
Short-term Redemption Fee Note: None
Who may want to invest:
• Someone seeking to safeguard their principal value or to balance out a more aggressive portfolio.
• The investor may be nearing retirement and looking to earn a predictable rate of return or looking for a fund that offers
guaranteed lifetime income options in retirement.

intended to provide a brief overview of the fund. Investment elections and exchanges into the CLIC TSA are only allowed

Dodge & Cox Income Fund
FPRS Code: OFDZ
Ticker: DODIX
Objective: The investment seeks a high and stable rate of current income, consistent with long-term preservation
of capital.
Strategy: The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality bonds and other debt securities. Normally, the fund
will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the following categories: debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or GSEs; investment-grade debt securities; unrated securities if deemed to be of investment-
grade quality by Dodge & Cox; and bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, and
commercial paper.
Risk: In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise,
bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income
securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds,
most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity
is not possible. Additional risk information for this product may be found in the prospectus or other product materials,
if available.
Short-term Redemption Fee Note: None
Who may want to invest:
• Someone who is seeking potential returns primarily in the form of interest dividends rather than through an increase in
share price.
• Someone who is seeking to diversify an equity portfolio with a more conservative investment option.

Dodge & Cox Stock Fund
FPRS Code: OMAW
Ticker: DODGX
Objective: The investment seeks long-term growth of principal and income; a secondary objective is to achieve a
reasonable current income.
Strategy: The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. It will invest at least 80% of its total
assets in common stocks, including depositary receipts evidencing ownership of common stocks. The fund may also
purchase other types of securities, for example, preferred stocks, and debt securities which are convertible into common
stock. It may invest up to 20% of its total assets in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of non-U.S. issuers traded in the
United States that are not in the S&P 500.
Risk: Value stocks can perform differently than other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market
for long periods of time. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political,
regulatory, market, economic or other developments. These risks may be magnified in foreign markets. Additional risk
information for this product may be found in the prospectus or other product materials, if available.
Short-term Redemption Fee Note: None
Who may want to invest:
• Someone who is seeking the potential for long-term share-price appreciation and, secondarily, dividend income.
• Someone who is comfortable with the volatility of large-cap stocks and value-style investments.

Domini Social Equity Fund Class R
FPRS Code: OSAE
Ticker: DSFRX
Objective: The investment seeks to provide its shareholders with long-term total return.
Strategy: The fund primarily invests in the equity securities of mid- and large-capitalization U.S. companies. Under
normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s assets will be invested in equity securities and related investments with
similar economic characteristics. It may also invest in companies organized or traded outside the U.S. (or in equivalent
shares such as ADRs). Domini evaluates the fund’s potential investments against its social and environmental standards
based on the businesses in which they engage, as well as on the quality of their relations with key stakeholders.
Risk: Value and growth stocks can perform differently from other types of stocks. Growth stocks can be more volatile.

Spartan® U.S. Bond Index Fund Fidelity Advantage Class
FPRS Code: 2324
Ticker: FSITX
Objective: Seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and interest performance of the
debt securities in the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Strategy: Normally investing at least 80% of the fund’s assets in bonds included in the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond
Index. Using statistical sampling techniques based on duration, maturity, interest rate sensitivity, security structure, and
credit quality to attempt to replicate the returns of the Index using a smaller number of securities. Engaging in transac-
tions that have a leveraging effect on the fund, including investments in derivatives such as swaps (interest rate, total
return, and credit default) and futures contracts and forward-settling securities, to adjust the fund’s risk exposure.
Investing in Fidelity’s central funds (specialized investment vehicles used by Fidelity funds to invest in particular security
types or investment disciplines).
Risk: In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise,
bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income
securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds,
most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity
is not possible. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks. The
fund can invest in securities that may have a leveraging effect (such as derivatives and forward-settling securities), which
may increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
Short-term Redemption Fee Note: None
Who may want to invest:
• Someone who is seeking potential returns primarily in the form of interest dividends rather than through an increase
in share price.
• Someone who is seeking to diversify an equity portfolio with a more conservative investment option.
