Item 7.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Revenues of the Company increased to $2.8 million in 1993 from $2.4 million in 1992 and $1.0 million in 1991. The growth from 1992 to 1993 is attributable primarily to increased investment earnings on additional outstanding Receivables and increased revenues associated with the sale of repossessed property. The growth from 1991 to 1992 was almost entirely attributable to increased investment earnings on additional outstanding Receivables. The Company has increased its investment in Receivables from $8.2 million at September 30, 1991 to $11.6 million at September 30, 1992 to $19.5 million at September 30, 1993.
The Company continued to realize net income from operations during 1993. Net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993 was $283,000 compared to $661,000 in 1992 and $238,000 in 1991. The 1993 decrease in net income is attributable to a reduced spread between interest sensitive income and interest sensitive expense along with increased operating expenses associated with the increased volume of Certificate sales, Receivable investments and real estate held for sale. The 1992 increase in net income is attributable to an increased spread between interest sensitive income and interest sensitive expense along with increased operating expenses associated with the increased volume of Certificate sales, Receivable investments and real estate held for sale.
The Company, during 1993, experienced a slight increase in the loss from sale of real estate repossessions and also increased its provision for losses on Receivables.
Since the date of its incorporation, the Company has benefitted from a declining interest rate environment with lower money costs and relatively consistent yields on Receivables acquired through Metropolitan. In addition, a declining rate environment has positively impacted earnings by increasing the value of the portfolio of predominantly fixed rate Receivables. Higher than normal prepayments in the Receivable portfolio were experienced during 1993 and 1992, allowing the Company to recognize unamortized discounts on Receivables at an accelerated rate. It is anticipated that Metropolitan may begin charging the Company underwriting fees associated with Receivables acquired from Metropolitan. Management anticipates that any such underwriting fee that may be charged by Metropolitan in the future will result in a slightly lower yield over the life of the Receivables. Management is unable to predict the specific impact of any such underwriting fee because no specific fee has been proposed or suggested to date. See "Business-Investment in Real Estate Receivables."
Maintaining efficient collection procedures and minimizing delinquencies in the Company's Receivable portfolio are ongoing management goals. During 1993, the Company experienced a loss on sale of repossessed real estate of $18,400. Management believes that yields received on Receivables, which currently range from 12-15% (approximately 6-9% in excess of the Treasury, or risk-free, rate), will more than compensate the Company for such risk of loss.
In April 1992, the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets," which provides guidance on determining the accounting treatment for foreclosed assets. SOP 92-3 requires that foreclosed assets be carried at the lower of (a) fair value minus estimated costs to sell, or (b) cost. The Company applied the provisions of SOP 92-3 effective October 1, 1992. The initial charge for its application is estimated to be approximately $10,000, before the application of related income taxes, and is included in continuing operations in 1993.
Interest Sensitive Income and Expense
Management continually monitors the interest sensitive income and expense of the Company. Interest sensitive expense is predominantly the interest costs of Investment Certificates, while interest sensitive income includes interest on Receivables, earned discount on Receivables, dividends and other investment income.
The spread between interest sensitive income and interest sensitive expense was $362,300 in 1991, $925,300 in 1992 and $695,600 in 1993. The decrease from 1992 to 1993 of approximately $230,000 was the result of management's decision to accumulate cash to fund a contract purchase commitment in excess of $7 million from an affiliate in December 1992. Also, the Company recognized $366,935 of dividend income (13% dividend rate) from its preferred stock investment in its affiliate in 1992 and paid interest to its parent company at prime plus 1 1/2% on the borrowings used to finance the purchase of the preferred stock. In March 1992, the Company transferred the preferred stock to Metropolitan in full satisfaction of the $6 million payable. Therefore, there were no dividends received by the Company in fiscal 1993 on the preferred stock. See Note 7 to Financial Statements.
Other Income
Other income increased from approximately $500 in 1991 to $16,600 in 1992 to $42,700 in 1993. Other income is predominantly miscellaneous fees and charges related to Receivables, thus its growth is primarily due to the growth in Receivables.
Other Expenses
Operating expenses increased from approximately $100,600 in 1991 to $178,300 in 1992 to $244,600 in 1993 largely due to the increased volume of Investment Certificate sales and Receivable investments.
Provision for Losses on Real Estate Receivables
The provision for losses on Receivables has increased as the size of the portfolio of Receivables has grown. The following table summarizes the Company's allowance for losses on Receivables:
Gain/Loss on Real Estate Sold
During 1993, the Company experienced a loss on the sale of real estate of approximately $18,400. At the end of fiscal 1993, the Company had $61,000 in real estate held for sale, less than 1% of total real estate assets.
Effect of Inflation
During the three year period ended September 30, 1993, inflation has had a generally positive impact on the Company's operations. This impact has primarily been indirect in that the level of inflation tends to influence inflation expectations, which tends to impact interest rates on both Company assets and liabilities. Thus, with lower inflation rates over the past three years, interest rates have been generally declining during this period, which has reduced the Company's cost of funds. Interest rates on Receivables acquired, due to their nature, have not declined to the same extent as the cost of the Company's borrowings. In addition, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operating expenses. The main reason for the increase in operating expenses has been an increase in the number of Receivables acquired and serviced and increased sales of Investment Certificates.
Revenues from real estate sold are influenced in part by inflation, as, historically, real estate values have fluctuated with the rate of inflation. However, the Company is unable to quantify the effect of inflation in this respect.
Asset/Liability Management
As most of the Company's assets and liabilities are financial in nature, the Company is subject to interest rate risk. Currently, the Company's financial assets (primarily Receivables and fixed income investments) reprice faster than its financial liabilities (primarily Investment Certificates). In a rising rate environment, this will tend to increase earnings, while in a falling rate environment, earnings will decrease. However, yields on Receivables have not been as sensitive to rate fluctuations as have Investment Certificate rates.
During fiscal 1994, approximately $5.8 million of interest sensitive assets (cash and Receivables) are expected to reprice or mature.
For liabilities, approximately $2.0 million of Investment Certificates will mature during fiscal 1994, along with about $5,000 of other debt payable.
These estimates result in a one year interest rate mismatch
(interest sensitive assets less interest sensitive liabilities) of approximately $3.8 million, or a ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities of approximately 290%.
New Accounting Rules
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109), retroactive to October 1, 1992 and resulted in no significant affect on the Company's financial position. SFAS No. 109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company's financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In 1992 and 1991, the Company accounted for income taxes as required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. See Note 1 to Financial Statements.
In May, 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (SFAS No. 114) "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" was issued. SFAS No. 114 requires that certain impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans' effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral. The Company is required to adopt this new standard by October 1, 1995. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 114 will have a material effect on the financial statements.
In December 1991, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS No. 107), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," was issued. SFAS No. 107 requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. SFAS No. 107 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 31, 1995 (Summit's fiscal year ending September 30, 1996) for entities with less than $150 million in total assets. This pronouncement does not change any requirements for recognition, measurement or classification of financial instruments in the Company's financial statements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and SFAS No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits" are not applicable because the Company maintains no programs designed to provide employees with post-retirement or post-employment benefits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a financial institution, the Company's liquidity is largely tied to its ability to renew, maintain or obtain additional sources of cash. The Company has successfully performed this task during the past three years and has continued to invest funds generated by operations and financing activities.
The Company has continued to generate cash from operations with net cash provided of $1.4 million in 1993; $1.4 million in 1992; and
$.5 million in 1991. Cash utilized by the Company in its investing activities increased to $9.2 million in 1993 from $2.6 million in 1992 and $14.1 million in 1991. Cash provided by the Company's financing activities was $5.8 million in 1993 compared to $5.0 million in 1992 and $13.4 million in 1991. These cash flows have resulted in year end cash and cash equivalent balances of $3.6 million in 1993; $5.6 million in 1992; and $1.8 million in 1991. Management considers the cash balance at September 30, 1993 of $3.6 million to be adequate to finance any required debt retirements or planned asset additions.
During 1993, the $2.1 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million less cash used in investing activities of $9.2 million plus cash provided by financing activities of $5.7 million. Cash from operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $.3 million and the increase in compound and accrued interest on Investment Certificates of $1.0 million. Cash used in investing activities primarily included: (1) acquisition of real estate Receivables net of payments and sales, of $7.6 million; and (2) an advance to its parent company of $1.7 million for the purchase of Receivables. Cash provided by financing activities included: (1) issuance of Investment Certificates, net of repayments and related debt issue costs, of $7.0 million; less (2) repayment of amounts due its parent of $.4 million; and (3) repayment to banks and others of $.9 million.
The Company's investing activities during 1993 were supported by cash from operations and external financing. The Company's increases in Receivables were primarily funded by sales of Investment Certificates. During 1992, the $3.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents resulted from cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million less cash used in investing activities of $2.5 million plus cash provided by financing activities of $5.0 million. Cash from operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $.7 million and the increase in compound and accrued interest on Investment Certificates of $.7 million. Cash used in investing activities primarily included the acquisition of real estate Receivables net of payments and sales, of $3.0 million less $.5 million advance repaid by its parent. Cash provided by financing activities included: (1) issuance of Investment Certificates, net of repayments and related debt issue costs, of $4.7 million; (2) borrowings from its parent of $.4 million; less (3) repayment to banks and others of $.1 million.
Thus, during 1992, the Company's investing activities were supported by internal cash from operations and external cash from financing. The Company's increases in Receivables were primarily funded by sales of Investment Certificates.
During 1991, the $.2 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from cash provided by operating activities of $.5 million less cash used in investing activities of $14.1 million plus cash provided by financing activities of $13.4 million. Cash from operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $.2 million and the increase in compound and accrued interest on Investment Certificates of $.2 million. Cash used in investing activities primarily included the acquisition of real estate Receivables net of payments, of $7.7 million, while the total advanced to or invested in affiliates was $6.5 million. Cash provided by financing activities included: (1) issuance of Investment Certificates, net of repayments and related debt issue
costs, of $7.4 million; and (2) borrowings from parent of $6.0 million.
Thus, during 1991 as in 1992 and 1993, the Company's investing activities were supported by internal cash from operations and external cash from financing. The Company's increases in Receivables were primarily funded by sales of Investment Certificates.
Management believes that cash flow from operating activities and financing activities will be sufficient for the Company to conduct its business and meet its anticipated obligations as they mature during fiscal 1994. The Company has not defaulted on any of its obligations since its founding in 1990.

1. Summary of Accounting Policies
Business
Summit Securities, Inc., d/b/a National Summit Securities, Inc. in the states of New York and Ohio ("Summit" or "the Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc. ("Metropolitan") was incorporated on July 25, 1990. Summit purchases contracts and mortgage notes collateralized by real estate, with funds generated from the public issuance of debt securities in the form of investment certificates, cash flow from receivables and sales of real estate.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash includes all balances on hand and on deposit in banks and financial institutions. The Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of its financial institutions. Substantially all cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with one financial institution and balances periodically exceed the FDIC insurance limit.
Real Estate Contracts and Mortgage Notes Receivable
Real estate contracts and mortgage notes held for investment purposes are carried at amortized cost. Discounts originating at the time of purchase net of capitalized acquisition costs are amortized using the level yield (interest) method. For contracts acquired after September 30, 1992, net purchase discounts are amortized on an individual contract basis using the level yield method over the remaining contractual term of the contract. For contracts acquired before October 1, 1992, the Company accounts for its portfolio of discounted loans using anticipated prepayment patterns to apply the level yield (interest) method of amortizing discounts. Discounted contracts are pooled by the fiscal year of purchase and by similar contract types. The amortization period, which is approximately 78 months, estimates a constant prepayment rate of 10-12 percent per year and scheduled payments, which is consistent with the Company's prior experience with similar loans and the Company's expectations.

Real Estate Contracts and Mortgage Notes Receivable, Continued
In May 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (SFAS No. 114), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," was issued. SFAS No. 114 requires that certain impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral. The Company is required to adopt this new standard by October 1, 1995. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 114 will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Real Estate Held for Sale
Real estate is valued at the lower of cost or market. The Company principally acquires real estate through foreclosure or forfeiture. Cost is determined by the purchase price of the real estate or, for real estate acquired by foreclosure, at the lower of (a) the fair value of the property at date of foreclosure less estimated selling costs, or (b) cost (unpaid contract carrying value).
Profit on sales of real estate is recognized when the buyers' initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate that (1) a commitment to fulfill the terms of the transaction exists, (2) collectibility of the remaining sales price due is reasonably assured, and (3) the Company maintains no continuing involvement or obligation in relation to the property sold and transfers all the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer.
In April 1992, the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets," which provides guidance on determining the accounting treatment of foreclosed assets. SOP 92-3 requires that foreclosed assets be carried at the lower of (a) fair value minus estimated costs to sell, or (b) cost. The Company applied the provisions of SOP 92-3 effective October 1, 1992. The application of SOP 92-3, estimated to be approximately $10,000 before the application of related income taxes, is included in continuing operations for the year ended September 30, 1993.

Allowance for Losses on Real Estate Assets
The established allowances for losses on real estate assets include amounts for estimated probable losses on both real estate held for sale and real estate contracts and mortgage notes receivable. Specific allowances are established for all delinquent contract receivables with net carrying values in excess of $100,000. Additionally, the Company establishes general allowances, based on prior actual delinquency and loss experience, for currently performing receivables and smaller delinquent receivables. Allowances for losses are determined on net carrying values of the contracts, including accrued interest. Accordingly, the Company continues interest accruals on delinquent loans until foreclosure, unless the principal and accrued interest on the loan exceed the fair value of the collateral, net of estimated selling costs.
Deferred Costs
Commission and other expenses incurred in connection with the registration and public offering of investment certificates are capitalized and amortized using the interest method over the estimated life of the related investment certificates, which range from 6 months to 5 years.
Income Taxes
The Company is included in the group of companies which file a consolidated income tax return with Metropolitan. The Company is allocated a current and deferred tax provision from Metropolitan as if the Company filed a separate tax return. Effective October 1, 1992, Metropolitan adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109). Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. There was no effect on the Company's financial statements of adopting SFAS No. 109. In 1992 and 1991, Metropolitan and the Company accounted for income taxes as required by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11.

Financial Instruments
In December 1991, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS No. 107), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," was issued. SFAS No. 107 requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. SFAS No. 107 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 31, 1995 (Summit's fiscal year ending September 30, 1996) for entities with less than $150 million in total assets. This pronouncement does not change any requirements for recognition, measurement or classification of financial instruments in the Company's financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1991 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or retained earnings as previously reported.
2. Real Estate Contracts and Mortgage Notes Receivable
Real estate contracts and mortgage notes receivable include mortgages collateralized by property located throughout the United States. At September 30, 1993, the Company held first position liens associated with contract and mortgage notes receivable with a face value of approximately $13,800,000 and second position liens of approximately $6,900,000. Approximately 21% of the face value of the Company's real estate contracts and mortgage notes receivable are collateralized by property located in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon), approximately 9% by property located in California and approximately 27% by property located in Hawaii.

Contracts totaling approximately $6,000,000 which are collateralized by property in Hawaii were purchased from a Metropolitan affiliated company during fiscal 1993. At September 30, 1993, approximately $5,500,000 of these contracts were outstanding. These contracts relate to the sale of time share units in a condominium resort development which is owned by a Metropolitan affiliated company.
The face value of the Company's real estate contracts and mortgage notes receivable as of September 30, 1993 and 1992 are grouped by the following dollar ranges:
Contractual interest rates on the face value of the Company's real estate contracts and mortgage notes receivable as of September 30, 1993 and 1992 are as follows:
The weighted average contractual interest rate on these receivables at September 30, 1993 is approximately 10.5%. Maturity dates range from 1993 to 2023. The constant effective yield on contracts purchased in fiscal 1993 and 1992 was approximately 12% and 15%, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the face value of the real estate contracts and mortgage notes receivable to the Company's carrying value:
The principal amount of receivables with required principal or interest payments being in arrears for more than three months was approximately $1,662,000 and $529,000 at September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Included in the amount for September 30, 1993 is approximately $680,000 of delinquent contracts purchased from an affiliate during 1993. The Company has a performance holdback of $600,000 to cover any losses related to certain timeshare unit contracts, including these delinquent contracts.

An analysis of such deferred costs is as follows:
No valuation allowance has been established to reduce the deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized due to the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. As of September 30, 1993, the Company's share of the consolidated group's net operating loss carryforwards was approximately $659,000, which expires in 2005.

7. Related Party Transactions
Summit receives accounting, data processing, contract servicing and other administrative services from Metropolitan. Charges for these services were approximately $97,000 in fiscal 1993, $50,000 in fiscal 1992 and $0 in fiscal 1991 and were assessed based on the number of real estate contracts and mortgage notes receivable serviced by Metropolitan on Summit's behalf. Other indirect services provided by Metropolitan to Summit, such as management and regulatory compliance, are not directly charged to Summit.
Management believes that this allocation is reasonable and results in the reimbursement to Metropolitan of all significant direct expenses incurred on behalf of Summit. Management does not believe that Summit could obtain these services from outside sources for less than the allocated costs, or that these costs would be significantly higher if Summit operated alone.

Advances from parent of $400,365 at September 30, 1992 represent real estate contracts and mortgage notes and related costs advanced by Metropolitan on behalf of Summit. These advances to and from Metropolitan are non-interest bearing.
On March 31, 1991, the Company borrowed $6,000,000 from Metropolitan, which was payable on demand and required monthly interest-only payments. The stated note rate was equal to the prime rate as quoted monthly by the Seattle-First National Bank plus 1.5%. Summit used the funds borrowed from Metropolitan to purchase preferred stock issued by Western United Life Assurance Company ("Western"), a full service life insurance company. Metropolitan also owns approximately 96% of the outstanding stock of Western. In March 1992, the Company repaid the $6,000,000 note payable to Metropolitan through the transfer of the Company's preferred stock investment in Western to Metropolitan.

Exhibit 4(c) continued
SUMMIT SECURITIES, INC. PREFERRED STOCK SERIES S-1 AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION
Resolved, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted and vested in the Board of Directors (the "Board") of this Corporation by its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, a sub-series of Preferred Stock, Series S-1 of the Corporation be, and is hereby, established which will consist of 150,000 shares of the par value of $10.00 per share ($15,000,000), shall be designated "Variable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series S-1" (hereafter called "Preferred Stock"), shall be offered at $100.00 per share and which shall have rights, preferences, qualifications and restrictions as follows:
1. DIVIDENDS.
a) Dividends (or other distributions deemed dividends for purposes of this resolution) on the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be declared and paid monthly at a percentage rate per annum of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share equal to the "Applicable Rate," as hereinafter defined, or such greater rate as may be determined by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Rate for any monthly dividend period shall, in no event, be less than 6% per annum or greater than 14% per annum. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the date of original issue of such shares and shall be payable, when and as declared by the Board, on such dates as the Board deems advisable, but at least once a year, commencing June 1, 1993. Each such dividend shall be paid to the holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on such record date as shall be fixed by the Board in advance of the payment date thereof. Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular dividend payment date, to holders of record on such date as shall be fixed by the Board in advance of the payment date thereof.
b) Except as provided below in this section, the Applicable Rate for any monthly dividend period shall be the highest of the Treasury Bill Rate, the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate and the Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate (each as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein) plus one half of one percentage point. In the event that the Board determines in good faith that for any reason one or more of such rates cannot be determined for any dividend period, than the Applicable Rate for such dividend period shall be the higher of whichever of such rates can be so determined. In the event that the Board determines in good faith that none of such rates can be determined for any dividend period, then the Applicable Rate in effect for the preceding dividend period shall be continued for such dividend period. The Treasury Bill Rate, the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate and the Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate shall each be rounded to the nearest five hundredths of a percentage point.
c) No dividend shall be paid upon, or declared or set apart for, any share of Preferred Stock for any Dividend Period unless at the same time a like dividend shall be paid upon, or be declared and set apart for, all shares of Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding
and all shares of all other series of preferred stock then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive dividends. Holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends as herein provided. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments which may be in arrears on Preferred Stock.
d) Dividends payable for each full monthly Dividend Period shall be computed by dividing the Applicable Rate for such monthly Dividend Period by twelve and applying such rate against the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. Dividends shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent. Dividends payable for any period less than a full monthly Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of 30 day months and a 360 day year. The Applicable Rate with respect to each monthly Dividend Period shall be calculated as promptly as practicable by the Corporation according to the method provided herein. The Corporation will cause notice of such Applicable Rate to be enclosed with the dividend payment check next mailed to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock.
e) So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) no dividend (other than a dividend in common stock or in any other stock ranking junior to Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation and other than as provided in the foregoing section 1(c)) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment; (ii) no other distribution shall be declared or made upon common stock or upon any other stock ranking junior to or on a parity with Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation; and (iii) no common stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation for any consideration (or any monies paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation unless, in each case, the full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart for all past dividend payment periods.
f) The holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board, dividend distributions out of the funds of the Corporation legally available therefor. Any distribution made which may be deemed to have been made out of the capital surplus of Preferred Stock shall not reduce either the redemption process or the liquidation rights as hereafter specified.
2. REDEMPTION.
a) The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at redemption prices hereafter set forth plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption.
i) In the event of a redemption of shares pursuant to this subsection prior to January 1, 1995, the redemption price shall be $102.00 per share; and the redemption price shall be $100.00 per share in the event of redemption anytime after December 31, 1994.
ii) In the event that fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Corporation and the shares to be redeemed shall be determined by lot, or pro rata, or by any other method, as may be determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion to be equitable.
iii) In the event that the Corporation shall redeem shares hereunder, notice of such redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days or more than 60 days prior to he redemption date, to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed, at such holder's address as it appears on the stock register of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares to be redeemed and, if fewer than all shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date.
iv) Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the redemption date (unless default shall be made by the Corporation in providing money for the payment of the redemption price), dividends on the shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the Corporation the redemption price) shall cease. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the certificates representing shares redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the redemption price aforesaid. In case fewer than all of the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.
b) Discretionary Redemption Upon Request of the Holder: The shares of Preferred Stock are not redeemable at the option of the holder. If, however, the Corporation receives an unsolicited written request for redemption of a block of shares from any holder, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion and subject to the limitations described below, accept such shares for redemption. Any shares so tendered, which the Corporation in its discretion, allows for redemption, shall be redeemed by the Corporation directly, and not from or through a broker or dealer, at a price equal to $97 per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends to date if redeemed during the first year after the date of original issuance and $99 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends if redeemed thereafter. The Corporation may change such optional redemption prices at any time with respect to unissued shares.
For a period of three years from the date of initial sale of each share of Preferred Stock, any such optional redemption of such share shall occur only upon the death or major medical emergency of the holder or any joint holder of the share requested to be redeemed. Any optional redemption of a share in any calendar year after the third year from the date of sale of the share, not arising from the death or medical emergency of the holder or any joint holder shall occur only
when the sum of all optional redemptions (including those arising out of the death or medical emergency of the holder or any joint holder) of shares of Preferred Stock during that calendar year shall not exceed 10% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the end of the preceding calendar year. In the event the 10% limit is reached in any calendar year, the only redemption which may thereafter occur during that calendar year shall be those arising from the death or medical emergency of the holder or any joint holder; provided, however, that to the extent that total optional redemptions in any calendar year do not reach the 10% limit, the amount by which such optional redemptions shall fall short of the 10% limit may be carried over into ensuing years; and provided further that to the extent that all redemptions, including those involving the death or medical emergency of the holder or any joint holder, exceed the 10% in any year, the amount by which such redemptions exceed the 10% limit shall reduce the limit in the succeeding year for limiting redemptions not involving the death or medical emergency of a holder or any joint holder. In no event shall such optional redemptions of all types in a single calendar year exceed 20% of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the end of the preceding calendar year.
The Corporation may not redeem any such shares tendered for redemption if to do so would be unsafe or unsound in light of the Corporation's financial condition (including its liquidity position); if payment of interest or principal on any outstanding instrument of indebtedness is in arrears or in default; or if payment of any dividend on Preferred Stock or share of any stock of the Company ranking at least on a parity therewith is in arrears as to dividends.
c) Any shares of Preferred Stock which shall at any time have been redeemed shall, after such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are designated as part of a particular series by the Board.
d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, if any dividends on Preferred Stock are in arrears, no shares of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed, and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
3. CONVERSION OR EXCHANGE. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such shares into or exchange such shares for shares of any other class or series of any class of securities of the Corporation.
4. VOTING. Except as required from time to time by law, the shares of Preferred Stock shall have no voting powers. Provided, however, not withstanding the foregoing, that whenever and as often as dividends payable on any shares of Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to twenty four full monthly dividends or more per share, the holders of Preferred Stock together with the holders of any other preferred stock hereafter authorized, voting separately and as a single class shall be entitled to elect a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Such right shall continue until all dividends in arrears on preferred stock have been paid in full.
5. LIQUIDATION RIGHTS.
a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Stock, or on any other class of stock ranking junior to Preferred Stock, upon liquidation, the amount of $100.00 per share, plus a sum equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) on such shares accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution.
b) Neither the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the property or business of the Corporation, nor the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section.
c) After the payment to the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts provided for in this Section, the holders of Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
d) In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to this Section, no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares or any other series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the shares of Preferred Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Preferred Stock, ratably in accordance with the sums which would be payable in such distribution if all sums payable in respect of the shares of all series of Preferred Stock and any such other class of stock as aforesaid were discharged in full.
6. PRIORITIES. For purposes of this Resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:
a) Prior to the shares of Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation if the holders of such class or classes shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock.
b) On a parity with shares of Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share or sinking fund provisions, if any, are different from those of Preferred Stock, if the holder of such stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority, one over the other, as between the holder of such stock and the holders of Preferred Stock; and
c) Junior to shares of Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, if the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or classes.
7. SHARES NON-ASSESSABLE. Any and all shares of Preferred Stock issued, and for which the full consideration has been paid or delivered, shall be deemed fully paid stock and the holder of such shares shall not be liable for any further call or assessment or any other payment thereon.
8. PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS. Holders of Preferred Stock shall have no pre-emptive rights to acquire additional shares of Preferred Stock.
EXHIBIT A
Treasury Bill Rate
Except as provided below in this paragraph, the "Treasury Bill Rate" for each dividend period will be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum market discount rates (or the one weekly per annum market discount rate, if only one such rate shall be published during the relevant Calendar Period (as defined below)) for three-month U.S. Treasury bills, as published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board during the Calendar Period immediately prior to the ten calendar days immediately preceding the first day of the dividend period for which the dividend rate on Preferred Stock Series E-5, is being determined. In the event that the Federal Reserve Board does not publish such a weekly per annum market discount rate during any such Calendar Period, then the Treasury Bill Rate for the related dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum market discount rates (or the one weekly per annum market discount rate, if only one such rate shall be published during the relevant Calendar Period) for three-month U.S. Treasury bills, as published weekly during such Calendar Period by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency selected by the Company. In the event that a per annum market discount rate for three-month U.S Treasury bills shall not be published by the Federal Reserve Board or by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency during such Calendar Period, then the Treasury Bill Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum market discount rates (or the one weekly per annum market discount rate, if only one such rate shall be published during the relevant Calendar Period) for all of the U.S. Treasury bills then having maturities of not less than 80 nor more than 100 days, as published during such Calendar Period by the Federal Reserve Board or, if the Federal Reserve Board shall not publish such rates, by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency selected by the Company. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that for any reason no such U.S. Treasury bill rates are published as provided above during such Calendar Period, then the Treasury Bill Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the per annum market discount rates based upon bids during such Calendar Period for each of the issues of marketable non-interest bearing U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of not less than 80 nor more than 100 days from the date of each such quotation, as quoted daily for each business day in New York City (or less frequently if daily quotations shall not be generally available) to the Company by at least three recognized primary U.S. Government securities dealers selected by the Company. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that for any reason the Company cannot determine the Treasury Bill Rate for any dividend period as provided above in this paragraph, the Treasury Bill Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the per annum market discount rates based upon the closing bids during such Calendar Period for each of the issues of marketable interest-bearing U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of not less than 80 nor more than 100 days from the date of each such quotation, as quoted daily for each business day in New York City (or less frequently if daily quotations shall not be generally available) to the Company by at least three recognized primary U.S. Government securities dealers selected by the Company.
Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate
Except as provided below in this paragraph, the "Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate" for each dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yields (or the one weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yield, if only one such Yield shall be published during the relevant Calendar Period as provided below, as published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board during the Calendar Period immediately prior to the ten calendar days immediately preceding the first day of the dividend period for which the dividend rate on Preferred Stock, Series E-5 is being determined. In the event that the Federal Reserve Board does not publish such a weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yield during such Calendar Period, then the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yields (or the one weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yield, if only one such Yield shall be published during such Calendar Period), as published weekly during such Calendar Period by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency selected by the Company. In the event that a per annum Ten Year Average Yield shall not be published by the Federal Reserve Board or by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency during such Calendar Period, then the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum average yields to maturity (or the one weekly average yield to maturity, if only one such yield shall be published during the relevant Calendar Period) for all of the actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (other than Special Securities (as defined below)) then having maturities of not less tan eight nor more than twelve years, as published during such Calendar Period by the Federal Reserve Board or, if the Federal Reserve Board shall not publish such yields, by any Federal Reserve Bank o by any U.S. Government department or agency selected by the Company. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that for any reason the Company cannot determine the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate for any dividend period as provided above in this paragraph, then the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the per annum average yields to maturity based upon the closing bids during such Calendar Period for each of the issues of actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (other than Special Securities) with a final maturity date not less than eight nor more than twelve years from the date of each such quotation, as quoted daily for each business day in New York City (or less frequently if daily quotations shall not be generally available) to the Company by at least three recognized primary U.S. Government securities dealers selected by the Company.
Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate
Except as provided below in this paragraph, the "Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate" for each dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum Twenty Year Average Yields (or the one weekly per annum Twenty year Average Yield, if only one such Yield shall be published during the relevant Calendar Period), as published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board during the Calendar Period immediately prior to the ten calendar days immediately preceding the first day of the dividend period for which the dividend rate on Preferred Stock, Series E-5 is being determined. In the event
that the Federal Reserve Board does not publish such a weekly per annum Twenty Year Average Yield during such Calendar Period, then the Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum Twenty Year Average Yields (or the one weekly per annum Twenty Year Average Yield, if only one such Yield shall be published during such Calendar Period), as published weekly during such Calendar Period by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency selected by the Company. In the event that a per annum Twenty Year Average Yield shall not be published by the Federal Reserve Board or by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency during such Calendar Period, then the Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum average yields to maturity (or the one weekly average yield to maturity, if only one such yield shall be published during such Calendar Period) for all of the actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (other than Special Securities) then having maturities of not less than eighteen nor more than twenty-two years, as published during such Calendar Period by the Federal Reserve Board or, if the Federal Reserve Board shall not publish such yields, by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency selected by the Company. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that for any reason the Company cannot determine the Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate for any dividend period as provided above in this paragraph, then the Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend period shall be the arithmetic average of the per annum average yields to maturity based upon the closing bids during such Calendar Period for each of the issues of actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (other than Special Securities) with a final maturity date not less than eighteen nor more than twenty-two years from the date of each such quotation, as quoted daily for each business day in New York City (or less frequently if daily quotations shall not be generally available) to the Company by at least three recognized primary U.S. Government securities dealers selected by the Company.
As used herein, the term "Calendar Period" means a period of 14 calendar days; the term "Special Securities" means securities which may, at the option of the holder, be surrendered at face value in payment of any federal estate tax or which provide tax benefits to the holder and are priced to reflect such tax benefits or which were originally issued at a deep or substantial discount; the term "Ten Year Average Yield" means the average yield to maturity for actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (adjusted to constant maturities of ten years); and the term "Twenty Year Average Yield" means the average yield to maturity for actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (adjusted to constant maturities of 20 years).

THE CERTIFICATE This is a duly authorized Certificate of Summit Securities, Inc. ("Summit"). This Certificate is issued under an Indenture dated July 25, 1990 ("Indenture") between Summit and West One Bank, Idaho, N.A. as Trustee ("Trustee"). The Indenture permits Summit to issue an unlimited amount of Certificates, the terms of which may vary according to series. This Certificate is of the series stated above; that series is not limited in aggregate principal amount as stated in the Indenture (or supplemental indentures). The Indenture (and supplemental indentures) contains statements of the rights of the Certificateholders, Summit and the Trustee and provision concerning authentication and delivery of the Certificates. Definitions of certain terms used in the Certificate are also found in the Indenture (and supplemental indentures).
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL For value received, Summit promises to pay the principal amount of this Certificate at the maturity date stated above. Payment will be made to the Person to whom this Certificate is issued or registered assigns.
PAYMENT OF INTEREST Summit promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Certificate from the issue date until the principal amount is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be computed at the annual interest rate stated above. Interest will be payable or compounded as stated above or as otherwise elected by the Person entitled to payment of interest. Summit will pay interest to the Person in whose name this Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the payment of interest. The Regular Record Date is the 15th date of the calendar month immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date.
COMPOUNDING OF INTEREST If the Person entitled to payment of interest so elects, Summit will compound interest rather than pay interest in installments. Interest will be compounded on a semiannual basis at the interest rate
stated above from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding receipt by Summit of the compounding election. Interest will be compounded from the issue date of the Certificate if Summit receives the compounding election prior to the first Interest Payment Date. Interest will be compounded until the maturity date stated above and will be paid on such date. Prior to maturity, however, Summit will pay at the Certificateholder's request the interest accumulated in the last two semiannual compounding periods before Summit receives the request, together with the interest accrued from the end of the last such semiannual period. Interest compounded prior to the last two semiannual compounding periods is payable only onthe maturity date stated above.
ALTERNATIVE INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST If so elected by the Person to whom this Certificate is originally issued, Summit promises, in lieu of the foregoing provisions for payment of principal and interest, to pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest, commencing thirty days from the issue date, until the maturity date, at which time the remaining principal amount, if any, together with all unpaid accrued interest, shall be paid. The amount of each monthly installment shall be the amount necessary to amortize the principal amount at the specified interest rate during the specified amortization term.
PREPAYMENT ON DEATH In the event of a Certificateholder's death, any person entitled to receive some or all of the proceeds of this Certificate may elect to have his or her share of the principal and any unpaid interest prepaid in full in five consecutive equal monthly installments. Interest on the declining principal balance of that share will continue to accrue at the interest rate stated above. Any request for prepayment must be made in writing to Summit. The request must be accompanied by the Certificate and evidence, satisfactory to Summit, of the Certificateholder's death. Before Summit prepays the Certificate, it may require additional documents or other material it considers necessary to establish the Persons entitled to receive some or all of the proceeds of the Certificate. Metropolitan may also require proof of other facts relevant to its obligation to prepay the Certificate in the event of death.
MISCELLANEOUS The provisions on the reverse are part of this Certificate.
This Certificate is not entitled to any benefit under the Indenture nor is this Certificate valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication below has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature.

TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE Transfer and exchange of this Certificate are conditioned by certain provisions in the Indenture. To effect a transfer, the Holder must surrender this Certificate at Summit's office or agency in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho or such other place as may be designated by Summit. This Certificate must be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to Summit. Upon transfer, one or more new Certificates of the same series of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferrers. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, Summit, the Trustee or any of their agents may treat any Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner of this Certificate, regardless of notice to the contrary or whether this Certificate might be overdue. This Certificate is issuable only as a registered Certificate; it does not bear coupons. As provided in the Indenture, this Certificate is exchangeable for the other Certificates of the same series of authorized denominations with the same aggregate principal amount. To effect an exchange, the Holder must surrender this Certificate at Summit's office or agency in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho or such other place as may be designated by Summit. The Certificate must be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of exchange satisfactory to Summit. No service charge will be made for a transfer or exchange, but Summit may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any governmental charge in connection with such transaction.
AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE; WAIVER OF RIGHTS With certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended, the obligations and rights of Summit may be modified and the rights of the Certificateholders may be modified by Summit at any time with the consent of the Holders of 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates at the time Outstanding. The Indenture allows the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates of a particular series to waive compliance by Summit with certain indenture provisions and to waive past defaults and their consequences on behalf of all the Holders of Certificates of that series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Certificate will be binding upon that Holder. The consent or waiver will also be binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of this Certificate, whether or not that consent or waiver is noted upon the Certificate.
FAILURE TO PAY INTEREST OR INSTALLMENTS; EVENTS OF DEFAULT If interest or any installment of principal and interest is not punctually paid or duly provided for, it shall cease to be payable to the registered Holder of this Certificate on the applicable Regular Record Date. Instead, the Trustee will fix a Special Record Date for payment of the Defaulted Interest or installments. The Trustee will give the Certificateholders notice of the Special Record Date at lease 10 days prior to the Special Record Date. The Person in whose name this Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date will be entitled to payment of the Defaulted Interest or installment. If the Certificates are listed on a securities exchange, however, the
Defaulted Interest or installment may be paid at any time and in any lawful manner consistent with the requirements of the exchange. If an Event of Default occurs, the principal of all the Certificates may be declared due and payable as provided in the Indenture.
FORM OF PAYMENT Payment of principal and interest will be made at the office or agency of Summit maintained for that purpose in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho or such other place as may be designated by Summit. Payment will be made in coin or currency of the United States of America that is legal tender for payment of public and private debts at the time of payment. At Summit's option, however, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Person entitled to the interest at that Person's address as it appears in the Certificate Register.
BUSINESS DAYS Whenever any interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity of this Certificate or any date on which any Defaulted Interest or installment is proposed to be paid is not a business day, the appropriate payment or compounding of interest or principal may be made on the next succeeding Business Day without accrual of additional interest.
