**Fair Value Measurments Disclosure:**

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"  ("FAS 157"), effective December 1, 2007 (March 30, 2007 for Core Fund).  In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund  would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liabilityin an orderly  transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence  of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability.  FAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs  that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset  or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent  of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the  reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants  would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information  available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification  of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used  in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized  in the three broad levels listed below.  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices  for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions  in determining the fair value of investments)  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an  indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following  is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2009 in valuing the Funds'  investments carried at value:

**Odd Lots:**  The bid-side valuations provided by the independent pricing service are for  institutional "round-lot" holdings ("Round Lots"). Round  Lots consist of 100 bonds (approximately $100,000 each). Some of the Fund's  holdings consist of less than an institutional Round Lot and are considered  "Odd Lots." Odd Lots trade at a discount to Round Lots to compensate  for the effect of the fixed costs associated with any trade. To reflect this  discount, the Fund applies a discount to the valuation of Odd Lot holdings as  shown in the following chart:

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")  issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume  and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased  and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly ("FSP 157-4"). FSP  157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with  FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"  ("FAS 157"), when the volume and level of activity for the asset or  liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances  that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal  years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently  evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds' financial  statement disclosures.
