</TABLE>
(1) The applicable interest rate is determined at the time a Note is
purchased by aggregating the principal amounts of all Notes currently owned
by the investor and the investor's immediate family members. Immediate family
members are considered to be parents, children, siblings, grandparents and
grandchildren. Members of sibling families are also considered immediate
family members if both siblings are investors.
(2) Earns simple interest. The Annual Yield calculation assumes that the term
of the Note is extended sequentially for an entire year, that the interest
earned during each term is included in the principal amount for the next term
and that the listed interest rate is the interest rate for each term.
(3) Earns simple interest, which results in the Interest Rate and the Annual
Yield being equal during the initial term.
(4) Interest compounds quarterly. The Annual Yield calculation assumes that
accrued interest is paid annually.
