NOTES:
1.) The depositories in Panama and Venezuela are presently elective. It is not

for fixed income obligations and elective for equities. Currently, Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. uses Euroclear for settlement of equities where we
are instructed to do so. We do not use Euroclear for the ongoing
safekeeping of equities.
2.) If you are authorizing investment in Bolivia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Estonia,
Ghana, Lithuania, Panama or Nigeria, these arrangements are the subject of
additional information in Schedule A to the FCM report.
