                          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  Finance and
                                 Membership 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:
