SCHEDULE A
 INVESTMENT GUIDELINES
 FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES
 1.
    
    Invest on a long-term basis in accordance with applicable insurance regulatory guidelines.2.
    
    Ensure preservation of invested capital for policyholder protection, always providing
sufficient liquidity for the payment of claims and other policy obligations.
 GUIDELINES
 1.
    
    ApproachAll investments are to be made using the long-term value investing approach by investing in
the securities of companies and other entities at prices below their underlying long-term
values to protect capital from loss and earn income over time and provide operating income
as needed.With regard to equity securities, the investment manager will attempt to identify
financially sound companies and other entities with good potential profitability which are
selling at large discounts to their intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of low prices
may consist of some or all of the following characteristics: low price earnings ratios,
high dividend yields, significant discounts to book value and free cash flow. Downside
protection is obtained by seeking a margin of safety in terms of a sound financial position
and a low price in relation to intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of financial
integrity which are regularly monitored, include debt/equity ratios, financial leverage,
asset turnover, profit margin, return on equity and interest coverage.As a result of this long-term value investing approach, it is anticipated that purchases
will be made when economic and issue-specific conditions are less than ideal and sentiment
is uncertain or negative. Conversely, it is expected that gains will be realized when
issue-specific factors are positive and sentiment is buoyant. The investment time horizon
is one business cycle (approximately 3-5 years).With respect to fixed income securities, the long-term value investing approach is similar.
The investment manager will attempt to purchase attractively priced bonds offering yields
better than treasury bonds with maturities of 30 years or less that are of sound quality,
i.e. whose obligations are expected to be fully met as they come due. Rating services are
not regarded as an unimpeachable source for assessing credit quality any more than a
brokers recommendation on a stock is necessarily correct. With any form of investment
research and evaluation, there is no substitute for the reasoned judgment of the investment
committee and the investment manager.2.
    
    LiquidityAn adequate cash flow shall be maintained to ensure that claims and operating expenses are
paid on a timely basis. An operating cash position is to be maintained at appropriate
levels and will be managed by the insurance company in accordance with an approved list of
liquid investments, as determined from time to time by the investment committee. These
securities will be managed by the insurance company as part of the treasury function and
are primarily restricted to treasury and agency securities of the U.S. government.3.
    
    RegulatoryAll applicable insurance regulations will be complied with.
 4.
    
    DiversificationThe portfolio is to be invested in a wide range of securities of different issuers
operating in different industries and jurisdictions in order to diversify risk.5.
    
    Prudent Person RulePrudent investment standards are considered in the overall context of an investment
portfolio and how a prudent person would invest another persons money without undue risk
of loss or impairment and with a reasonable expectation of fair return.6.
    
    Investment CommitteeThe board of directors of the insurance company shall appoint an investment committee of
the investment manager as the investment committee of the insurance company. The
investment committee shall meet at least once each quarter to review the investments and
loans of the insurance company.

STRATEGY
 1.
    
    Maintain Adequate LiquidityA detailed review of portfolio liquidity is undertaken on a periodic basis. This liquidity
analysis determines how much of each portfolio is in cash or can be converted into cash in
a given time period. The insurance company determines its near term liquidity requirements
and the liquidity of the portfolio will be modified from time to time to match such near
term requirement.2.
    
    Asset AllocationThe asset allocation will be determined by the investment manager and will include
short-term investments that will generate appropriate cash flows and long-term investments
such as stocks and bonds, both domestic and foreign, that generate investment gains. The
asset allocation will be monitored from time to time in order to comply with regulatory
guidelines and meet insurance policy liabilities.3.
    
    Foreign Exchange RiskThe investment manager shall use its discretion to hedge any foreign currency investments
and exposures. The investment manager may use a variety of methods to reduce such
exposures, including forward foreign exchange contracts, currency options and natural
hedging with foreign pay liabilities of the insurance company. Un-hedged foreign
investments will be limited to 15% of admitted assets at cost, subject to adjustment to
conform with applicable insurance regulatory requirements. Un-hedged exposure above this
amount must be approved by the investment committee.4.
    
    Interest Rate RiskInterest rate risk will be minimized primarily through investment in a variety of term to
maturity fixed income securities with maturities less than thirty years. Maximum fixed
income portfolio duration is limited to the equivalent of a twenty year term to maturity
treasury security.
