(2) Of the provision which requires the withholding of tax on the distribution if it is not directly transferred to an eligible retirement plan;
(3) Of the provisions under which the distribution shall not be subject to tax if transferred to an eligible retirement plan within 60 days after the date on which the recipient received the distribution;
(4) If applicable, of the provisions of §§ 402(d) and 402(e), Internal Revenue Code;
(5) Of the provisions under which distributions from the eligible retirement plan receiving the distribution may be subject to restrictions and tax consequences which are different from those applicable to distributions from the plan making such distribution; and
(6) A description of the consequences of failing to defer receipt of a distribution.
