(a)

Compounded daily based on 365/366 year.

(b)

Interest is earned daily, and will be paid promptly upon a holder’s request, otherwise principal and interest are payable at maturity.

(c)

At the end of this period, the interest rate will be adjusted.  Debentures mature four years from their date of issue, subject to earlier redemption as provided for therein.  Redemption at any other time is at the discretion of the Company and is subject to an interest penalty.  Absent redemption by the holder at maturity, the term of the Debenture will be extended for one four-year period, subject to the same redemption rights.
