BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY RULE We support reasonable business disclosures that are fair and help consumers make wise choices. Rules should create a level playing field by requiring clear, simple, and standardized income disclosures that apply to all direct sellers. A reasonable cancellation policy should be provided. NO LIMITATIONS OR WAITING PERIODS SHOULD BE REQUIRED AS TO WHEN A PROSPECT CAN REGISTER. Independent business owners should not be required to provide references to prospects or disclosure of past litigation. Disclosure of financial records to prospects should not be a requirement. We have been independent business owners that have contracted with the Quixtar Corporation for many years and have found their business ethics always above reproach. Thank you for your consideration of our concerns. John and Sharon Hackney
