without registration under the Securities

Act of 1933 (the 1933 Act); (ii) securities

issued by entities in foreign countries

which (A) restrict or prohibit the

holding of securities by non-nationals

other than through qualified investment

vehicles, such as the UAM Funds, or (B)

permit transfers of ownership or

securities to be effected only by

transactions conducted on a local stock

exchange; (iii) certain portfolio

positions (such as forward foreign

currency contracts, futures and options

contracts, swap transactions, certificates

of deposit and repurchase agreements)

that, although they may be liquid and

marketable, involve the assumption of

contractual obligations, require special

trading facilities, or can only be traded

with the counterparty to the transaction

to effect a change in beneficial

ownership; (iv) cash equivalents (such

as certificates of deposit, commercial

paper, and repurchase agreements); and

(v) other assets which are not readily

distributable (including receivables and

prepaid expenses), net of all liabilities

(including accounts payable).

(j) The term ‘‘Net Asset Value’’ means

the amount for purposes of pricing all

purchases and sales calculated by

dividing the value of all securities,

determined by a method as set forth in

the UAM Fund’s prospectus and

statement of additional information, and

other assets belonging to the UAM Fund

less the liabilities charged to such UAM

Fund, by the number of outstanding

Shares.

Effective Date

This exemption is effective for

transactions occurring on or after April

30, 2001.

For a more complete statement of the

facts and representations supporting the

Department’s decision to grant this

exemption, refer to the notice of

proposed exemption published on

February 15, 2001 at 66 FR 10529.

Modification

The exemption as proposed contained

no specific effective date. In this regard,

the proposed exemption would have

been effective as of the date the final

exemption was granted and published

in the Federal Register. However, after

the exemption was proposed, the

applicant requested that the final

exemption be made effective as of April

30, 2001, to cover certain transactions

occurring on or after that date.

Therefore, the final exemption has been

modified accordingly.

telephone (202) 219–8194. (This is not

a toll-free number).

General Information

The attention of interested persons is

directed to the following:

(1) The fact that a transaction is the

subject of an exemption under section

408(a) of the Act and/or section

4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve

a fiduciary or other party in interest or

disqualified person from certain other

provisions to which the exemptions

does not apply and the general fiduciary

responsibility provisions of section 404

of the Act, which among other things

require a fiduciary to discharge his

duties respecting the plan solely in the

interest of the participants and

beneficiaries of the plan and in a

prudent fashion in accordance with

section 404(a)(1)(B) of the Act; nor does

it affect the requirement of section

401(a) of the Code that the plan must

operate for the exclusive benefit of the

employees of the employer maintaining

the plan and their beneficiaries;

(2) These exemptions are

supplemental to and not in derogation

of, any other provisions of the Act and/

or the Code, including statutory or

administrative exemptions and

transactional rules. Furthermore, the

fact that a transaction is subject to an

administrative or statutory exemption is

not dispositive of whether the

transaction is in fact a prohibited

transaction; and

(3) The availability of these

exemptions is subject to the express

condition that the material facts and

representations contained in each

application accurately describes all

material terms of the transaction which

is the subject of the exemption.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 1st day of

May, 2001.
