To Customer: Customer Disclosures and Responsibilities 18. Investment Objective and Risk Exposure Definitions. Below are general guidelines to assist individual investors in selecting their Investment Objectives and Risk Exposure for their INVEST Financial Corporation account. The Investment Objectives and Risk Exposure combinations relate to the entire account taken as whole, not simply to individual holdings/transactions within the portfolio. The portfolio is viewed as the sum of the holdings but there may be securities within the account that do not meet the general guidelines set forth below and you may direct trades on a non-solicited basis that are not suitable for your designated Investment Objectives and Risk Exposure. In order to determine whether your total portfolio meets your Investment Objectives and Risk Exposure properly, your Representative needs information relative to your other investments you have owned or may currently own, including investment accounts, mutual funds, insurance products and bank investments. Please remember that all investments are subject to risks, ranging from inflation and rate change risks for fixed income investments, to default and market fluctuation risks. Please be sure that you understand these risks before you invest. Investment Objective/Risk Exposure Combinations. Clients assume certain risks when investing in any securities. An outline of some of the risks for each investment objective/risk exposure combination is set forth below. Generally, the investment styles and strategies we use to recommend stocks, bonds, and other securities depend on our ability to recommend securities that perform well over time. Our recommendations may not achieve your growth and/or income CUSTOMER S COPY - KEEP FOR YOUR RECORDS - PAGE 6 OF 12 expectations, and securities we select could decline in value. There can be no assurance that any of the investment objective/risk exposure combinations will achieve their stated goals, and clients could and do lose money. Tax Advantaged/Low: This account should generally be weighted in favor of investments providing tax advantages with an emphasis on safety of principal, including the use of guaranteed municipal investments, forgoing potentially higher yields and returns. Tax Advantaged/Moderate: This account should generally be weighted in favor of investments providing tax advantages with growth potential and the possibility of higher yields, with moderate risk to income production and principal, including non-insured or non-rated municipal investments. Tax Advantaged/High: This account should generally be weighted in favor of investments providing tax advantages with aggressive and speculative income producing bond, fixed income and/or equity investments with the acceptance of risk of possible loss of income production and principal. This account will invest in below investment grade or non-rated securities with an emphasis on the acceptance of higher risk for potentially higher yields and returns. Safety of principal is not a primary objective. Income/Low: This account should generally be weighted in favor of conservative income producing bond, fixed income, and/or equity investments with an emphasis on safety of principal, forgoing potentially higher yields and returns. Income/Moderate: This account should generally be weighted in favor of income producing bond, fixed income, and/or equity investments with growth potential and the possibility of higher yields, with moderate risk to income production and principal. Income/High: This account should generally be weighted in favor of aggressive and speculative income producing bond, fixed income and/or equity investments with the acceptance of risk of loss of income production and principal. This account may invest in below investment grade or non-rated securities with an emphasis on the acceptance of higher risk for potentially higher yields and returns. Safety of principal is not a primary objective, but rather the generation of income is the primary objective. Income with Growth/Low: This account should generally be weighted in favor of a blend of conservative income producing and equity investments with an emphasis on preservation of principal while forgoing potentially higher yields and returns. Income with Growth/Moderate: This account should generally be weighted in favor of a blend of income producing and equity investments with the acceptance of moderate risk to income production. This account seeks preservation of principal with an emphasis on both current income and potential capital growth. Income with Growth/High: This account should generally be weighted in favor of aggressive and speculative domestic and foreign income and equity investments with the acceptance of loss of income production and principal. This account places an emphasis on the acceptance of higher risk for potentially higher yields and/or returns. Growth/Low: This account should generally be weighted in product or product features which allow for some level of participation in the market, but with limited exposure to risk through principal protection, indices linked products, or similar features that mitigate investment risk. Growth/Moderate: This account should generally be weighted in favor of long-term growth of capital with the acceptance of moderate risk relative to principal and earnings. The account could be invested in up to 100% in equities with little or no emphasis on the generation of income. Growth/High: The primary objective of this account is capital appreciation through investments in domestic and foreign aggressive and speculative equity investments with an emphasis on the acceptance of higher risk for potentially higher yields and/or returns. Safety of principal is not an important objective and 100% of the account could be invested in aggressive and speculative securities at any time. Little to no emphasis is placed on generation of current income. Speculation/High: This account would generally be invested in speculative, non-investment grade, derivative, unrated, and/or high-risk investments, perhaps on a short-term basis. Emphasis is placed on maximum capital appreciation utilizing riskier investment strategies, understanding the potential for loss of principal, earnings, and income production. Safety of principal and income production are not objectives.

8 Bond and Bond Fund Disclosure. Bond investors should take note that investing in bonds or bond funds is subject to risks. Generally, investments offering potential higher returns are accompanied by a higher degree of risk. The market value of a bond or bond fund may fluctuate in response to the following: changing interest rates and credit risk assessments, inflation, currency fluctuations, economic, political or social events in the United States or abroad. Lower quality or longer maturity bonds may be subject to greater price fluctuations than higher quality or shorter maturity bonds. In the case of bond funds, customers should be aware that the return of principal is not guaranteed, due to the fluctuation in the net asset value of the fund that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the fund and due to the buying and selling of bonds within the fund by its investment adviser.
