Please read this information before completing this section. The total percentage for the primary beneficiary and contingent beneficiary (if applicable) designations must equal 100%. If no percentage allocations are provided, each primary beneficiary and/or contingent beneficiary (if applicable) will be divided equally. Please note, items marked with an asterisk are required to establish your beneficiary designation. You may wish to consult with a tax, legal or financial advisor before designating or modifying your beneficiary(ies) for your account.

All beneficiary designations will be per capita. Per capita means, the assets designated to a beneficiary will be divided equally among the remaining beneficiaries of the same status (primary or contingent) in the event he/she pre-deceases you. Per stirpes is not a permissible beneficiary designation.
