Purchase of Certificates of Deposit. Advisor will advise on the purchase of CDs which are intended to be fully insured by the FDIC or the NCUA for Participant’s accounts.

The FDIC insurance limits are set forth in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 1811 et seq., and in the related regulations found in Part 330 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (12 C.F.R. Part 330).

For purposes of operating the Program, Advisor will assume, unless Participant informs Advisor to the contrary, that Participant is entitled to the full limit of FDIC or NCUA insurance in any FDIC-insured financial institution. Advisor will maintain records of all deposits made by Participant through the Program to assist Participant in maintaining CDs within applicable insurance limits, but Advisor is not responsible for deposits made directly by Participant outside of the Program or through other arrangements outside of the Program.

Purchase of Certificates of Deposit. Participant acknowledges that in recommending the purchase of a CD from a particular financial institution, Advisor will rely substantially on the availability to Participant of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits, including CDs, in amounts above the FDIC insurance limit are not insured. All amounts deposited by a depositor, including amounts deposited directly, through brokers or through other means, including CDs, in a single financial institution will be combined by the FDIC in determining whether such depositor is within the insurance coverage as to that institution. Advisor will assume, unless Participant informs Advisor to the contrary, that Participant is entitled to the maximum applicable FDIC insurance in any particular FDIC insured financial institution. It is Participant’s sole responsibility to assure that deposits made by Participant in an insured institution outside of this Agreement do not cause the CDs purchased for the account of Participant in such institution to exceed the FDIC insurance limit. Advisor will not monitor deposits made by Participant outside this Agreement, and Advisor has no responsibility therefor. The financial institutions that participate are generally small in size and are not rated by national credit rating organizations. The CDs will not be collateralized. CDs purchased by Participant hereunder are generally not negotiable and not liquid. Substantial penalties may apply if Participant wishes to make an early withdrawal.

The Advisor will purchase non-negotiable CDs, which are intended to be fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), for the Participant’s account directly from the issuers of such CDs or through such brokers as the Advisor selects. Each CD will be issued by the financial institution in book-entry form and the book-entry registration shall be maintained by the financial institution. A safekeeping receipt or copy of the CD will be provided by the financial institution to Advisor and will be provided to Participant upon request.

The CDs will not be collateralized. Hence there will be reliance on federal deposit insurance and it is crucial that Participant’s CDs be fully covered by FDIC insurance. Participant understands that (i) CDs in amounts above applicable FDIC insurance limits are not insured, (ii) substantially all of the credit research performed by the Advisor will relate to the eligibility/applicability of FDIC insurance to the CDs, and (iii) in determining FDIC insurance limits, Federal regulations provide that all amounts deposited by a depositor, including amounts deposited directly, through brokers or through other means in a financial institution regardless of the source will be combined in determining the insurance limit. The Advisor will maintain records of all CDs purchased by the Advisor for the Participant to assist the Participant in maintaining CDs within applicable insurance limits, but the Advisor is not responsible for the effects on FDIC insurance limits of deposits made directly by the Participant or through other arrangements.
