Each counter party to a repurchase transaction is required to execute the Bond Market
               Master Repurchase Agreement and to provide collateral at a 102% margin and held by
               an independent third party custodian approved by the Trustee. The Master Repurchase
               Agreement must be fully executed before any transaction is initiated. Collateral will be
               evidenced by safekeeping reports/receipts clearly denoting Permanent Fund ownership
               from the independent safekeeping agent.


               Authorized Collateral

               acceptable collateral for time and demand deposits and repurchase agreements shall
               include only:

                       −      obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities
                              including mortgage backed securities and CMO that pass the bank test,
                              and


                       −      obligations of any US state, city, county or authority rated at least A by
                              two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

               will send City a document listing any current collateral and its market value.


               X.      DIVERSIFICATION

               The City as beneficial owner of the Permanent Fund recognizes that investment risks

               leading to temporary illiquidity. Risk is controlled through portfolio diversification. The
               strategy for diversification will be guided by the circumstances then prevailing but will
               generally be:
