| | | | to the end of any Guaranteed Period. |
| | | | If no specific direction is given by |
| | | | the Certificate Holder prior to the |
| | | | Maturity Date, each Matured Period |
| | | | Value will be reinvested on the |
| | | | Maturity Date for a Guaranteed Period |
| | | | of the same duration. If a Guaranteed |
| | | | Period of the same duration is |
| | | | unavailable, each Matured Period Value |
| | | | will automatically be reinvested on |
| | | | the Maturity Date for the next |
| | | | shortest Guaranteed Period available. |
| | | | If no shorter Guaranteed Period is |
| | | | available, the next longer Guaranteed |
| | | | Period will be used. Aetna will mail a |
| | | | confirmation statement to the |
| | | | Certificate Holder the next business |
| | | | day after the Maturity Date. |
