  Providing  to  the  Board  and/or  its  designee,  no  less  than  seven  days  in
                                     advance of any conference, all documents, exhibits, written materials, etc.
                                     related to the Association’s investments and their performance.

                                     Each manager shall:
                                       Be covered by liability and fiduciary insurance; and
                                       Have  its  employees  bonded  unless  otherwise  exempt  by  law  or
                                         governmental regulation.

                          2.     OPERATING ASSETS
                                 The Association’s Operating Assets shall be managed in fixed income securities
                                 and cash equivalents with maturities not to exceed one year so as to meet its
                                 short-term liquidity requirements. The LSBA Director of Administration shall
                                 furnish  the  Investment/Portfolio  Manager  with  a  schedule  of  anticipated
                                 withdrawals for the Association’s operations.

                                 Investment Objective
                                 The primary financial objective in the management of the Operating Assets is
                                 safety  of  principal  followed  by  a  competitive  return  as  compared  to  its
                                 benchmark.

                                 Investment performance will be reviewed quarterly.  It is not anticipated that
                                 the goals defined below will be satisfied in every quarter of year.  It is, however,
                                 expected that performance goals will be met over a rolling three-year period.
                                 Analysis of performance should always be within the context of the prevailing
                                 investment environment and the Manager’s particular investment style.

                                 The investment performance will be evaluated relative to the following index
                                 and standard:

                                 Index

                                 Portfolio             90-Day

                                 Segment               U.S. Treasury Bill

                                 Total Fund            yes

                                 Fixed Income          yes

                                 Cash Equivalents      yes

                                 As indicated above, The Total Fund, Fixed Income, and Cash Equivalents will
                                 all be measured against the 90-Day US Treasury Bill return for the selected
                                 period.



                                                               24
