*The monthly administrative fee payable on the Money Market Account is subject to change each quarter. The actual administrative fee payable monthly on the Money Market Account during a quarter will be calculated based on the gross yield on the PVC Money Market Account as of the last day of the preceding quarter. The 0.095% administrative fee in the table above is an estimate based on an assumption that the gross yield on the PVC Money Market Account will be 30 basis points as of December 31, 2009. The actual administrative fee will range from an annual rate of a maximum of 0.145% to a minimum of 0.0%. The administrative fee for any quarter will be determined based on the gross yield on the PVC Money Market Account as of the last day of the preceding quarter, and for each 2 basis point increase in the gross yield above 30 basis points, the administrative fee will increase by 1 basis point, to a maximum annual rate of 0.145%. For each 2 basis point reduction in the gross yield below 30 basis points, the administrative fee will decrease by 1 basis point to a minimum of 0.0% if the gross yield falls to 11 basis points or below.
