Payments will remain in certificate account(s) until the stock 
offering closes and will continue to earn interest at the account rate

INDIVIDUAL  The stock is to be registered in an individual's name 
only. You may not list beneficiaries for this ownership.

JOINT TENANTS  Joint tenants with right of survivorship identifies two 
or more owners. When stock is held by joint tenants with rights of 
survivorship, ownership automatically passes to the surviving joint 
tenant(s) upon the death of any joint tenant. You may not list 
beneficiaries for this ownership. All parties must agree to the 
transfer or sale of shares held by joint tenants.

TENANTS IN COMMON  Tenants in common may also identify two or more 
owners. When stock is held by tenants in common, upon the death of one 
co-tenant, ownership of the sotck will be held by the surviving 
co-tenant(s) and by the heirs of the deceased co-tenant. All parties 
must agree to the transfer or sale of shares held by tenants in 
common. You may not list beneficiaries for this ownership.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT  Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") 
holders may make stock purchase from their deposits through a 
pre-arranged "trustee-to-trustee" transfer. Stock may only be held in 
a self-directed IRA. The Association does not offer a self-directed 
IRA. Please contact the Conversion Information Center if you have any 
questions about your IRA account or to obtain a list of local brokers 
who will open a self-directed IRA, or check with your broker. There 
will be no early withdrawal or IRS penalties incurred as a result of 
these transfers.

UNIFORM GIFTS TO MINORS/UNIFORM TRANSFER TO MINORS  For residents of 
many states, stock may be held in the name of a custodian for the 
benefit of a minor under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act. For 
residents in other states, stock may be held in a similar type of 
ownership under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act of the individual 
states. For either form of ownership, the minor is the actual owner of 
the stock with the adult custodian being responsible for the 
investment until the minor reaches legal age.
