<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-cost</FONT> method of purchasing shares of our Common Stock and reinvesting all or a portion of their cash dividends in additional shares of our Common Stock. The plan allows current shareholders and interested
new investors the opportunity to invest cash dividends and optional cash investments in additional shares of our Common Stock without payment of any processing fee or service fee. To the extent additional shares are purchased directly from us, the
plan also provides us a means of raising additional capital through the direct sale of Common Stock. The plan is primarily intended for the benefit of long-term investors, and not for the benefit of individuals or institutions who engage in
short-term trading activities that could cause aberrations in the price or trading volume of our Common Stock. We intend to use the net proceeds from any sales of newly-issued shares of Common Stock or treasury stock for one or more of the
following, depending upon circumstances at the time of such sales: repayment of indebtedness, investments in assets, working capital, and general corporate purposes. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You can sell your plan shares at any time by submitting a request to sell online, by telephone or through the mail (as described in Question 3
above). A check will be issued for your sale proceeds, unless you elect to receive the funds by direct deposit into your bank account. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sales proceeds will be net of any fees to be paid by the plan participant. EQ will deduct any fees or applicable tax withholding from the sale
proceeds. Sales processed on accounts without a valid Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-9</FONT> for U.S. citizens or Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-8BEN</FONT> for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> citizens will be
subject to federal backup withholding described in greater detail below in the section entitled &#147;FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES&#151;Withholding.&#148; This can be avoided by furnishing the appropriate and valid form (both of which are
available online at <B>shareowneronline.com</B>) prior to the sale. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A check for the proceeds of the sale of shares (in U.S. dollars),
less applicable taxes and fees, will generally be mailed by first class mail as soon as administratively possible after the settlement date. If a participant submits a request to sell all or part of the participant&#146;s plan shares, and the
participant requests that the net proceeds be automatically deposited to a checking or savings account, the participant must provide a voided blank check for a checking account or blank savings deposit slip for a savings account. If the participant
is unable to provide a voided check or deposit slip, the participant&#146;s written request must be accompanied by a &#147;Medallion Signature Guarantee&#148; from an eligible financial institution for direct deposit for the participant&#146;s
signature(s). See Question 17 for additional information concerning Medallion Signature Guarantees. Requests for automatic deposit of sale proceeds that do not provide the required documentation will not be processed and a check for the net proceeds
will be issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To sell shares through a broker of the participant&#146;s choice, the participant may request the broker to transfer
shares electronically from the plan account to the participant&#146;s brokerage account. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The plan&#146;s share price may fluctuate
between the time the sale request is received and the time the sale is completed on the open market. EQ shall not be liable for any claim arising out of failure to sell on a certain date or at a specific price. This risk should be evaluated by the
participant and is a risk that is borne solely by the participant. Neither EQ nor any of its affiliates will provide any investment recommendations or investment advice with respect to transactions made through the plan. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Share sales by employees, affiliates of the Company and the Company&#146;s officers and directors must be made in compliance with the
Company&#146;s Securities/Insider Trading Policy, which, among other things, prohibits trades in the Common Stock when an individual is in possession of material, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-public</FONT> information about the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You may instruct EQ to sell shares under the plan through a batch order, market order, day limit order, GTD/GTC limit order (as defined

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">EQ will combine each request to sell through the plan with other plan participant sale requests for a batch order. Shares are then periodically
submitted in bulk to a broker for sale on the open market. Shares will be sold no later than five (5)&nbsp;business days (except where deferral is necessary under state or federal regulations) after EQ&#146;s receipt of the sales request. Bulk sales
may be executed in multiple transactions and over more than one day depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volumes. Once entered, a batch order request cannot be canceled. </P>

a market order when and if the stock reaches, or exceeds, the specified price on the day the order was placed (for orders placed outside of market hours, the next trading day). The order is automatically canceled if the price is not met by the end
of that trading day. Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volumes, the order may only be partially filled and the remainder of the order canceled. Once entered, a day limit order request cannot be canceled by the

reaches, or exceeds, the specified price at any time while the order remains open (up to the date requested or 90 days for GTC). Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volumes, sales may be executed in multiple transactions
and may be traded on more than one day. The order or any unexecuted portion will be automatically canceled if the price is not met by the end of the order period. The order may also be canceled by the applicable stock exchange or the plan
participant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Stop Order (online or telephone) </I></P>

reaches a specified price, at which time the stop order becomes a market order and the sale will be at the prevailing market price when the trade is executed. The price specified in the order must be below the current market price (generally used to
limit a market loss). </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

participants will recognize gain or loss with respect to fractional shares sold. The amount of gain or loss in each case is the difference between the amount the participant receives for the shares or fractional shares sold and the
participant&#146;s cost basis in those shares. This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss provided the participant holds the shares as a capital asset, which is usually the case. Any capital gain will be taxed at favorable long-term rates if the
