Proposal overview

 Objectives:
 •   Provide a high quality customized solution to diversify against equities and other fixed income allocations.

 •   Construct a core portfolio of short-term corporate bonds, predominantly investment grade quality.

 •   Minimize allocation to below investment grade credit to maintain diversification against plan allocations
     elsewhere.

 •   Deploy allocation flexibility to other safe-haven assets including treasuries, agencies, and supranational to
     further protect portfolio when conditions warrant.

                                                                 Portfolio Allocation Ranges:

 Note: These returns were requested by the prospect. The MIM Short Duration Credit “Carve Out” (gross-of-fee) returns are derived from our attribution
 system. This system gives us the ability to remove all non-credit securities from the representative account of the Limited – Term Multisector Composite. This
 leaves the remainder of the portfolio intact from which we derive monthly gross-of fee returns. We are unable to derive returns prior to 6/30/2008.
