NOTICE TO PERIODIC PAYMENT PLAN CERTIFICATE HOLDERS
OF 18 MONTHS SURRENDER RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO
PERIODIC PAYMENT PLAN CERTIFICATES
IMPORTANT

(Date of Mailing) Re: (1) Dear (2): This notice is required to be sent to all purchasers of plan certificates pursuant to laws administered by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. You should read it carefully and retain it with your financial records. You have missed (3) after your (4) plan certificate was issued. Until (5) you will be entitled to surrender your plan certificate and receive, in addition to the value of your account on the date your certificate is received, a refund of that portion of the sales charges you have paid in excess of 15 percent of the gross payments under your plan. For example, if your certificate had been received for surrender (6) you would have received a total of $(7) for it (the value of your account $(8) plus a refund of $(9) of the sales charges you have paid). After your right expires you will be entitled to receive only the value of your account. Of course, the value of your account will vary from day to day and by the date your right expires it may be more or less than it is today. In determining whether to exercise your right to terminate your plan, you should consider that, while the average sales charge deducted from your payments has amounted to (10) percent of the total payments made, the sales charge for the remainder of the payments under the plan, if you continue the plan, will be (11) and the average sales charge if you complete the plan will be (12) percent. Exercising your right to terminate your plan, however, will result in a net sales charge of 15 percent of your total payments. Accordingly, if you believe you may discontinue making further payments on your plan, it would probably be to your advantage to exercise this right now. If you wish to exercise your right to terminate your plan, you may return your certificate to (13) by (14) in accordance with the enclosed instructions. Very truly yours, (15) [The numbers in parentheses refer to the corresponding numbers in the instructions to the form]
