Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the accounts:
1. Rate Information – The Dividend Rates and Annual Percentage Yields on your accounts are set forth in the rate sheet. The Annual Percentage Yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the Dividend Rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the Account. The Annual Percentage Yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.

7. Early Withdrawal Penalty – We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date.
- Amount of Penalty – The amount of the early withdrawal penalty is based on the term of your account. The penalty schedule is as follows: 365 days or less–90 days dividends; more than 365 days–180 days dividends.
- How the Penalty Works – The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned on the account. It applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividend has already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.
- Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalties – At our option, we may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following circumstances:
- When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction.
- Where the account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any portion is paid within seven (7) days after establishment; or where the account is a Keogh Plan (Keogh) provided that the depositor forfeits an amount of at least equal to the simple dividends earned in the amount withdrawn; or where the account is an IRA or Keogh and the owner attains age 59-1/2 or becomes disabled.

Your account will automatically renew for another term upon maturity, and you have a grace period of ten (10) days after maturity in which to withdraw funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty. Certificate Promotions do not have an automatic renewal option. At maturity, the certificate balance plus dividends will be credited to your primary share account and earn dividends at the rate disclosed for that account.
