until the following calendar year. As such, the supplemental compensation percentage may vary from year to year, but will not exceed 8% under the current supplemental compensation plan. The cost of supplemental compensation is not directly charged to the price of our Products except as an allocation of overhead expense, which is applied to all eligible group insurance products, whether or not supplemental compensation is paid in relation to a particular sale or renewal. As a result, your rates will not differ by whether or not your Intermediary receives supplemental compensation. If your Intermediary collects the premium from you in relation to your Products, your Intermediary may earn a return on such amounts. Additionally, MetLife may have a variety of other relationships with your Intermediary or its affiliates that involve the payment of compensation and benefits that may or may not be related to your relationship with MetLife (e.g., consulting or reinsurance arrangements). More information about the eligibility criteria, limitations, payment calculations and other terms and conditions under MetLife’s base compensation and supplemental compensation plans can be found on MetLife’s Web site at www. metlife.com/brokercompensation. Questions regarding Intermediary compensation can be directed to ask4met@metlifeservice.com, or if you would like to speak to someone about Intermediary compensation, please call (800) ASK 4MET. In addition to the compensation paid to an Intermediary, MetLife may also pay compensation to your MetLife sales representative. Compensation paid to your MetLife sales representative is for participating in the sale, servicing, and/or renewal of Products, and the compensation paid may vary based on a number of factors including the type of Product(s) and volume of business sold. If you are the person or entity to be charged under an insurance policy or annuity contract, you may request additional information about the compensation your MetLife sales representative expects to receive as a result of the sale or concerning compensation for any alternative quotes presented, by contacting your MetLife sales representative or Calling (866) 796-1800. 0813337599 [exp0914][All States] L0613330608[exp1214][All Territories] MetLife Cost & Benefits Summary 5/28/2014 1:26 PM Page 20 of 20 P1909291.646688. 1. “NO CONTACT CLAUSE” The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners have established a solicitation silence policy (No Contact Clause) that prohibits oral and written communication regarding ail formal solicitations for goods and services (formal bids, Request for Proposals, Requests for Qualifications) issued by the Board through the County Purchasing Department The period commences when the procurement document is advertised and terminates when the Board of County Commissioners approves an award.
