(3) Appendix A of the Prospectus is amended by adding the following information as shown below:


APPENDIX A – INTERIM VALUE OF INDEX STRATEGIES

Below is additional information regarding the Interim Value calculation.
    In Pennsylvania, the Interim Value for an Index Strategy is equal to the sum of (1) and (2) where:
(1)Is the fair value of the Index Strategy Base on the Valuation Day the Interim Value is calculated. It is determined as (A - B) multiplied by [(1 + C) divided by (1 + D)]E, where:
A.The Index Strategy Base on the Valuation Day the Interim Value is calculated;
B.The fair value of the replicating portfolio of options under initial market conditions, with straight-line amortization to the end of the Index Strategy Term;
C.The Market Value Index Rate on the Index Strategy Start Date;
D.The Market Value Index Rate on the Valuation Day the Interim Value is calculated; and
E.The total days remaining in the Index Strategy Term divided by 365.
(2)Is the fair value of the replicating portfolio of options.

When we calculate the Interim Value, we obtain market data for derivative pricing each business day from outside vendors. If these values are available and we are delayed in receiving these values, and cannot calculate a new Interim Value, we will use the prior business day’s Interim Value.


(4) Appendix D of the prospectus is amended and restated as shown below:
