PRICING AND MARKET INFORMATION

Actual prices can be obtained only on a real-time, expressly agreed-upon basis.
Any indicative valuations on the Sites are provided for information only. They
are not an offer to enter into, transfer and assign or terminate any
transaction, or a commitment by Bank of America or its Affiliates to make such
an offer. An indicative valuation may differ substantially from an actual value.
Such estimates do not necessarily reflect Bank of America's or its Affiliates'
internal bookkeeping or theoretical model-based valuations. Certain factors,
which may not have been assessed for purposes of these valuations, including,
for example, notional amounts, credit spreads, underlying volatility, costs of
carry or use of capital and profit, may substantially affect a stated valuation.
Indicative valuations may vary significantly from indicative valuations
available from other sources. While Bank of America and its Affiliates have
obtained the information on which these evaluations are based from sources they
believe are reliable, Bank of America and its Affiliates make no representations
or warranties with respect to any indicative valuations. Prior to the execution
of a Transaction based upon the Content of these Sites, Client is advised to
consult with its broker or other financial representative to verify pricing
information.


HYPOTHETICAL OR PAST PERFORMANCE

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike
an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading.
Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have
under or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors,
such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are designed
with the benefit of hindsight. Past performance is not indicative of future
results; no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to
achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

including any footnotes, legal disclaimers, restrictions or disclosures, or any
copyright or proprietary notices. Any disclaimers, restrictions, disclosure or

 * Additional Capabilities


SUPPORTING A STRONG RETIREMENT PLAN AND HELPING TO KEEP IT ON TRACK



The retirement and financial needs of your employees, as well as the
responsibility those needs create for you as an employer, are important to you.
We offer the solutions your employees may need to help pursue their financial
goals and maintain financial wellness. Our array of resources and experience is
designed to help meet your employees’ financial needs in ways that make sense
for your company — strategically, operationally and financially. You and your
employees will have a team of experienced and passionate advocates for financial
wellness on your side. Our team will make your priorities their own so you can
focus more on your business.




FOR PLAN SPONSORS



Your role as a plan sponsor is more challenging than ever, and it’s not
something to face alone. We bring the resources and thought leadership from Bank
of America Corporation and its affiliates to bear in helping you provide a
strong, healthy and fully compliant program that runs smoothly, engages your
employees and makes your job easier. We can help you focus on the areas that may
be helpful to plan success, including Fiduciary Advisory Services 1 and
Education and Plan Services 2 appropriate for your plan.


FIDUCIARY ADVISORY SERVICES1

Through Fiduciary Advisory Services, we can help you design and maintain an
investment menu.
 * Investment Policy Statement (IPS)3
 * Comprehensive due diligence processes to identify appropriate investments 
 * Proactive delivery – online and by your designated advisor – of investment
   performance reporting every quarter 
 * Report providing fund analysis and market trends.



1 Fiduciary Advisory Services is an investment advisory program sponsored by
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (also referred to as “MLPF&S”
or “Merrill”). Merrill offers a broad range of brokerage, investment advisory
and other services. There are important differences between brokerage and
investment advisory services, including the type of advice and assistance
provided, the fees charged, and the rights and obligations of the parties. It is
important to understand the differences, particularly when determining which
service or services to select. Please refer to the Fiduciary Advisory Services
Brochure for information on the program including a description of the series
and related fees.

2 Education and Plan Services are non-fiduciary services required for Advisor
Alliance clients and optional for MLII clients.

3 IPS service is not available for FAS Discretionary. The plan sponsor is
responsible for the approval and final adoption of the IPS.




HELPING INSTITUTIONS MEET THEIR INVESTMENT NEEDS



We put the resources and intellectual capital of Merrill to work for
institutional clients like you by delivering thoughtful advice and sophisticated
investment strategies through focused client-centric consulting. We help
organizations like yours address today’s complex investment challenges through
an integrated, goals-based investment process that enables them to redefine
success, manage risk and help fulfill their missions.




INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS



We provide access to a broad suite of potential investment solutions for
non-profit organizations, foundations, endowments and corporate retirement and
pension plans. Our level of involvement is based on your preference — from
traditional consulting, to client-directed implementation, to full discretionary
outsourced CIO services. We work with your CFO, board  of directors and
investment committee to develop a tailored investment strategy that is
consistent with your culture, goals, preferences and risk profile.


DISCIPLINED INVESTMENT PROCESS

We follow a disciplined process that helps to address your organization’s
changing needs and provides you with a potentially higher probability of
achieving your long-term investment goals.

1

INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW

Act as liaison between institutional clients and Merrill's Investment Policy
Statement (IPS) service, which creates and modifies an IPS, based on the
client’s investment goals and objectives.

2

STRATEGIC ALLOCATION MODELING

Customizable asset allocation based on the Chief Investment Office capital
market assumptions.

3

INVESTMENT MANAGER DUE DILIGENCE

Recommend investment solutions leveraging Merrill's thorough and rigorous due
diligence process.

4

INVESTMENT MANAGER SEARCH AND SELECTION

Advanced portfolio construction techniques combined with client specific
objectives and Merrill's capital market guidance.

5

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

Leverage Merrill's global intellectual capital including tactical tilts to
potentially help increase returns.

6

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

Review, quantify and evaluate performance to identify opportunities to refine
the portfolio’s overall strategy, based on the Investment Policy Statement.




ENDOWMENTS, FOUNDATIONS AND NONPROFITS

We understand the issues nonprofits, endowments and foundations address in
funding their missions in an ever-changing financial climate. Drawing on the
global resources of Bank of America Corporation and its affiliates, we offer
insight, guidance and personalized service to help institutions develop and
execute investment strategies focused on what matters most to them and the
people they serve.

Impact investing and/or Environmental Social Governance (ESG) investing has
certain risks based on the fact that ESG criteria excludes securities of certain
issuers for nonfinancial reasons and therefore, investors may forgo some market
opportunities and the universe of investments available will be smaller.


DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

Whether your defined benefit plan is an active part of your overall benefit
offering, is closed to new participants, or fully frozen, Bank of  America's
service model allows you to outsource the many administrative tasks associated
with the maintenance of a pension plan to fulfill plan obligations and manage
risk.

Key services include:
• Investment consulting service
• Open architecture investment management platform
• Liability driven investment implementation
• Actuarial services and discretionary investment management


AND MORE



Beyond our experience, we offer access to the deep intellectual capital and
broad capabilities of Bank of America Corporation and its affiliates. If we
identify a need we can’t service ourselves, we can connect you with the people
and resources to help you. Through our network of advisors, we strive to deliver
strategies to help you manage the day-to-day and long-term responsibilities
required in pursuing your institution’s goals. As we work together to address
your evolving needs, we can help make the broad capabilities of Bank of America
Corporation feel more accessible.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe the best financial approach is the one that helps you pursue your
goals. That's why, from the start, we talk about your aspirations and encourage
you to ask questions about issues that matter most to you. Calculating how to
manage future health care expenses? College on the horizon? Considering the sale
of a business or purchase of a home? Preparing to pass your wealth to future
generations? It all starts with a plan intended to help you manage, grow, and
preserve your wealth today, while also considering the impact it can have for
years to come. With access to the investment insights of Merrill and banking
solutions from Bank of America, we will work with you to develop an
approach designed to help address your financial needs.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe the best financial approach is the one that helps you pursue your
goals. That's why, from the start, we talk about your aspirations and encourage
you to ask questions about issues that matter most to you. Calculating how to
manage future health care expenses? College on the horizon? Considering the sale
of a business or purchase of a home? Preparing to pass your wealth to future
generations? It all starts with a plan intended to help you manage, grow, and
preserve your wealth today, while also considering the impact it can have for
years to come. With access to the investment insights of Merrill and banking
solutions from Bank of America, we will work with you to develop an
approach designed to help address your financial needs.
