The Foundation has adopted a Statement of Investment Policies, Guidelines and Objectives (the “investment policy”) which govern the Foundation’s management and administration of the Foundation’s assets, attached hereto as Exhibit F.

The investment policy sets forth the guidelines and restrictions to be followed by the investment managers when investing the Foundation’s assets. The investment policy is intended to be both sufficiently specific to be meaningful and flexible enough to be practical.

(4) The Foundation need not consider the Alumni

Association’s investment needs or tolerance for risk when investing ISUAA pooled funds. (5) Investment of the ISUAA pooled funds in the

Foundation’s investment pool involves an inherent risk of investment beyond the control of the Foundation, including the potential for loss of the principal of the

Alumni Association’s initial and subsequent investment, loss of subsequent deposits, as well as accumulated interest or appreciation.

The Foundation shall:

(1) Provide the Alumni Association with quarterly investment balance and performance summaries for the

ISUAA pooled assets.
