CANDIDATE STATEMENT ◘ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING ◘

I hereby certify that all of the information provided by me in this application (or any other accompanying or required documents) is correct, accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that the falsification, misrepresentation or omission of any facts in said documents will be the cause for denial of employment or immediate termination of employment regardless of the timing or circumstances of discovery. I understand that the submission of an application does not guarantee employment. I further understand that, should an offer of employment be extended by MN Clerical, Inc. that such employment with the Company is AT WILL, for no specified duration and may be terminated by either the Company or myself at anytime, with or without cause or notice.

I understand that due to the nature of the Company’s business, attendance and punctuality are considered essential requirements of every job at the Company and that poor attendance or tardiness will result in disciplinary action. I authorize you to communicate with persons listed as references, former employers, and any others with whom you desire to check. I agree to hold such persons harmless with respect to any information they may give about me. If employed, I agree to engage in no outside activity which would involve a material conflict of interest with, or which could reflect adversely on the Company.

Form W-4 (2016)Purpose. Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. Consider completing a new Form W-4 each year and when your personal or financial situation changes.Exemption from withholding. If you are exempt, complete only lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 and sign the form to validate it. Your exemption for 2016 expires February 15, 2017. See Pub. 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.Note: If another person can claim you as a dependent on his or her tax return, you cannot claim exemption from withholding if your income exceeds $1,050 and includes more than $350 of unearned income (for example, interest and dividends).

Exceptions. An employee may be able to claim exemption from withholding even if the employee is a dependent, if the employee:• Is age 65 or older,

• Is blind, or

• Will claim adjustments to income; tax credits; or itemized deductions, on his or her tax return.

The exceptions do not apply to supplemental wages greater than $1,000,000.Basic instructions. If you are not exempt, complete the Personal Allowances Worksheet below. The worksheets on page 2 further adjust your withholding allowances based on itemized deductions, certain credits, adjustments to income, or two-earners/multiple jobs situations.

Complete all worksheets that apply. However, you may claim fewer (or zero) allowances. For regular wages, withholding must be based on allowances you claimed and may not be a flat amount or percentage of wages.Head of household. Generally, you can claim head of household filing status on your tax return only if you are unmarried and pay more than 50% of the costs of keeping up a home for yourself and your dependent(s) or other qualifying individuals. See Pub. 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information, for information.Tax credits. You can take projected tax credits into account in figuring your allowable number of withholding allowances. Credits for child or dependent care expenses and the child tax credit may be claimed using the Personal Allowances Worksheet below. See Pub. 505 for information on converting your other credits into withholding allowances.

Nonwage income. If you have a large amount of nonwage income, such as interest or dividends, consider making estimated tax payments using Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. Otherwise, you may owe additional tax. If you have pension or annuity income, see Pub. 505 to find out if you should adjust your withholding on Form W-4 or W-4P.Two earners or multiple jobs. If you have a working spouse or more than one job, figure the total number of allowances you are entitled to claim on all jobs using worksheets from only one Form W-4. Your withholding usually will be most accurate when all allowances are claimed on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job and zero allowances are claimed on the others. See Pub. 505 for details.Nonresident alien. If you are a nonresident alien, see Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens, before completing this form.Check your withholding. After your Form W-4 takes effect, use Pub. 505 to see how the amount you are having withheld compares to your projected total tax for 2016. See Pub. 505, especially if your earnings exceed $130,000 (Single) or $180,000 (Married).Future developments. Information about any future developments affecting Form W-4 (such as legislation enacted after we release it) will be posted at www.irs.gov/w4.

GUIDELINES FOR DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES

General - Please be sure to include the beneficiary’s full name, social security number and relationship to you. Providing this information can help expedite the claim process by making it easier to locate and verify beneficiaries.

Minors - While you may designate minors as beneficiaries, please note that claim payments may be delayed due to special issues raised by these designations. In the event of a claim and the beneficiary is a minor child, the insurance proceeds will not be released to the minor child. The insurance proceeds may be paid to a duly appointed guardian of the child’s estate. You may want to obtain the assistance of an attorney in drafting your beneficiary designation.

Trust as Beneficiary - You may designate a trust as beneficiary, using the following form: “To [name of trustee], trustee of the [name of trust], under a trust agreement dated [date of trust].”

If you wish to designate a testamentary trust as beneficiary (i.e., one created by will), you should recognize the possibility that your will which was intended to create this trust may not be admitted to probate (because it is lost, contested, or superseded by a later will). Claim payment delays can result if the beneficiary designation doesn’t provide for this situation.

Life Status Changes - We recommend that you review your beneficiary designation when significant life status events occur, such as marriage, divorce, or birth of a child.

See an Attorney! The above guidelines are general and are not intended to be relied on as legal advice. Unless your designation is a simple one, we recommend that you obtain the assistance of an attorney in drafting your beneficiary designation. A qualified attorney can help assure that your beneficiary designation correctly reflects your intentions, is clear and unambiguous, and meets legal requirements.

MNsure Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage: For Employees whose Employers do not offer health coverage

General Information When key parts of the health care law known as the Affordable Care Act take effect, there will be a new place to buy health insurance in Minnesota: MNsure. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about MNsure and employment-based health coverage offered by your employer.

What is MNsure? MNsure is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. MNsure offers "one-stop shopping" to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium for health insurance plans sold through MNsure or free or low-cost insurance from Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare. Open enrollment for health insurance coverage through MNsure begins in October 2013 for coverage starting January 1, 2014.

Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums through MNsure? Yes. You may qualify to save money and lower or eliminate your monthly premium. You may qualify for a tax credit or MinnesotaCare only if your employer does not offer coverage, or offers coverage that doesn't meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you're eligible for depends on your household income.

Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings through MNsure? Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit or MinnesotaCare through MNsure and may wish to enroll in your employer's health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, a reduction in certain cost-sharing, or MinnesotaCare if your employer does not offer coverage at all or offers coverage that does not meet certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer for you, the employee only, is more than 9.5% of your household income for the year, or if the coverage does not meet the "minimum value" standard set by the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.1If you are seeking help paying costs for health coverage through MNsure, you will need information about the cost and value of your employer coverage to complete an online or paper application. If your employer offers health coverage to you, ask your employer to complete and give you the Health Coverage from Jobs (Appendix A) form. If your employer does not offer coverage to you, you do not need your employer to complete the Health Coverage from Jobs (Appendix A) form.

Note: If you purchase a health plan through MNsure instead of accepting health coverage offered by your employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution, as well as your employee contribution to employer-offered coverage, is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposes.
