average modified duration of between approximately 1.25 and 3.75

	 	6.	 	US Securities
	 
	 	 	 	The purchase of US securities is permitted.

	 	7.	 	Credit Risk

	 	a.	 	All securities purchased for the Fixed Income Portfolio which
carry a long term rating by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s shall
have a rating of AA- or AA3 or better at the time of purchase.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, securities may be purchased for the
Fixed Income Portfolio which have ratings of A- or A3 or better
provided that, in aggregate, they do not constitute more than 25
% of the Fixed Income Portfolio Market Value. (Securities which are
not so rated at the time of intended purchase shall not be permitted
except on a case by case approval of the Client.)
	 
	 	 	 	All securities purchased for the Fixed Income Portfolio which carry a

a case by case approval of the Client.)
	 
	 	b.	 	Unrated securities are permitted. The unrated securities shall
have credit quality at the time of purchase, as determined in good
faith by the Company, equivalent to other permitted securities which
are rated as in IV.7.a. The Client shall be notified at least
quarterly as to the composition and status of the unrated securities
held in the Fixed Income Portfolio.
	 
	 	c.	 	A security purchased either in accordance with Section IV.7.a.
which receives a downwardly revised rating or in accordance with
Section IV.7.b. which receives a newly established rating that in
either case would make such security ineligible for further purchase
remains a permitted security to the extent of the then current
holdings.
	 
	 	d.	 	Private placements are permitted. Any private placements
purchased for the Fixed Income Portfolio shall be marketable
securities. This permission is specifically intended to allow the
purchase of unlisted securities.

22

 

	 	8.	 	Realized Gains/Losses
	 
	 	 	 	Net realized capital gains and losses should be minimized. (For example:
to the extent fixed income assets are permitted, bond switch activity to
enhance returns is encouraged, but should not become excessive and should
be undertaken within the context of minimizing net gains and losses).

	V.	 	GENERAL EQUITY GUIDELINES

1.     The U.S. Equity portion of the Portfolio may utilize either or both of
two equity strategies. The first seeks to replicate the aggregate price and
yield performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index
(the “S&P 500 Index”), an index which emphasizes large capitalization
companies in the United States. The second strategy is an actively managed
equity Portfolio with emphasis on, but not limited to, large capitalization
companies in the United States. It seeks to outperform the total return of
the S&P 500 Index.

	 	2.	 	The Global Equity portion of the Portfolio seeks to outperform the
total return of the MSCI World All Countries TR Free (USD) Index.

	VI.	 	THE HEDGE FUND GUIDELINES

	 	 	The Hedge Fund portion of the Portfolio (the “Hedge Fund Portfolio”) may be
invested according to the allocations shown in Section I.2 in shares of AIG
Select Hedge Ltd. (“Select Hedge”). The guidelines and restrictions
described with respect to the Portfolio do not apply to the investments made
by Select Hedge, which may invest, without limitation, in convertible
securities and derivatives to the extent described in the Select Hedge
offering document, which the Client acknowledges receiving and understanding,
including the guidelines, restrictions and risks outlined therein.

	VII.	 	FEES

     The fee schedule will be calculated as follows:

	 	 	A            
Fixed Income and Money Market Instruments;

	 	 	 
	 

	 	% per annum on the first $1 billion;
	

	 	% per annum on any amount exceeding $1 billion.

	 	 	B            US Equities (active);

	 	 	 
	 

	 	% per annum on all assets;

	 	 	C            Global Equities (active);

	 	 	 
	 

	 	% per annum on all assets;

	 	 	D            Hedge Funds;

	 	 	 	The Client will be subject only to the management and performance
based fees and other expenses described in the relevant PPM/offering
document for AIG Select Hedge Ltd. for the Client’s class, which at
the time of this Amendment is            basis points per annum plus      %
of the return over      % in any one year.

	VI.	 	CONFIDENTIALITY
	 
	 	 	It is acknowledged by the Client that Clause 10 of the Agreement
dealing with confidentiality applies to this Schedule. It is also
acknowledged by the Client that the agreed fee levels reflect both the
size of the total Portfolio and the combined management of each of the
different asset classes. The Company reserves the right to revise the
fee schedule on 30 days notice in the event that there is a
significant change in the size of the Portfolio or a change in the
asset classes.

23

 

	 	 	Effective as of the date first above written, pursuant to Section 17.3 of the
Agreement, this Amended Schedule 1 hereby supersedes and replaces in its
entirety the previously effective Schedule 1, and all investment
guidelines and restrictions therein, and any prior amendment or agreement,
written or oral, between the parties, that may contradict the terms
hereof; in all other respects, the Agreement, including all attachments,
remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms not defined herein
shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement including the
attachments thereto.
