2 Complete List of Composites Composite Name GIM Composites Tax Aware 50/50 Tax Aware 60/40 Tax Aware 75/25 Tax Free Bond Guardian Composites Alternatives Balanced 60/40 Composite Description The GIM Tax Aware 50/50 (5 equity/5 fixed income) Allocation is for investors who want to invest in a strategy that is managed with an eye toward post-tax, rather than pretax, returns. Its fully tax aware strategy is about more than simply holding municipal bonds. For instance, turnover is an important consideration since short term gains are taxed more heavily than long term ones. Qualified dividends are taxed at a lower rate than income distributions, and equity funds may have both taxable and tax-deferred shareholders. The Tax Aware 50/50 is managed with these considerations in mind. It is designed for investors who seek long term growth in after-tax wealth. Since it generally maintains a significant exposure to equities, it is for the investor who can tolerate moderate risk in the pursuit of after-tax returns. The GIM Tax Aware 60/40 (6 equity/4 fixed income) Allocation is for investors who want to invest in a strategy that is managed with an eye toward post-tax, rather than pretax, returns. Its fully tax aware strategy is about more than simply holding municipal bonds. For instance, turnover is an important consideration since short term gains are taxed more heavily than long term ones. Qualified dividends are taxed at a lower rate than income distributions, and equity funds may have both taxable and tax-deferred shareholders. The Tax Aware 60/40 is managed with these considerations in mind. It is designed for investors who seek long term growth in after-tax wealth.

The GIM Tax Aware 75/25 (75% equity/25% fixed income) Allocation is for investors who want to invest in a strategy that is managed with an eye toward post-tax, rather than pretax, returns. Its fully tax aware strategy is about more than simply holding municipal bonds. For instance, turnover is an important consideration since short term gains are taxed more heavily than long term ones. Qualified dividends are taxed at a lower rate than income distributions, and equity funds may have both taxable and tax-deferred shareholders. The Tax Aware 75/25 is managed with these considerations in mind. It is designed for investors who seek long term growth in after-tax wealth. Since it generally maintains a heavy exposure to equities, it is for the investor who can tolerate risk in the pursuit of after-tax returns.

The Guardian Alternatives Allocation is a disciplined investment strategy designed to provide a hedge against either inflation or deflation by investing in ETFs or ETNs that are either long or short in commodities, currencies, real estate and/or emerging market equities. Because these assets tend to move in a cyclical fashion, the opportunity for gains on both advancing and declining markets exists. This strategy seeks to take advantage of this fact by utilizing a quantitative, momentum based strategy, which examines the strength and consistency of price trends in order to establish the appropriate positions in ETFs or ETNs. Because of its low expected correlation to stocks and bonds, this allocation may serve as a powerful diversification tool to complement the overall risk-adjusted performance of many portfolios. The Guardian Balanced 60/40 Allocation is a strategy that invests in a diversified mix of domestic and foreign stock and bond funds. It has a strategic target of 6 equities and 4 bonds, but may alter this mix within predetermined ranges.

5 Complete List of Composites UBS Composites Global Integrated Disciplines Global Plus Global Real Return Global Integrated Disciplines is the flagship allocation that helped establish UBS Global Asset Management s reputation. It combines equities, bonds and other asset classes in a blend designed for investors with a tolerance for a moderate level of risk. Managers of this allocation seek to identify both undervalued and overvalued securities through bottom-up fundamental analysis. This analysis is integrated with global economic, equity, fixed income and credit research to drive allocation and rebalancing decisions. Exposure is increased to opportunities that are seen as most favorable. Alternative analytical approaches, such as bottom-up identification of growth investments, are sometimes employed to manage risk. The UBS Global Plus allocation is designed for investors seeking higher returns through additional managed risk. This allocation generally maintains a high exposure to equities, holding some bonds but no cash in the neutral position. The managers use active leverage to magnify exposure to the opportunities seen as most favorable. This leverage ranges from -5 and is achieved through the use of total return swap agreements as well as bank borrowing. The end result is an equity-friendly allocation that actively seeks out and takes on risk that managers believe will be compensated with returns. The UBS Global Real Return allocation is designed for investors who desire a reduced level of risk. It is actively managed with the goal of guarding purchasing power against the effects of inflation ( real return) while being less reliant upon favorable performance in equity markets. Global Real Return generally maintains significant assets in low risk bonds and cash. It also recognizes that markets can move both up and down. The ability to hedge by taking short positions is maintained as a way to reduce risk. The portfolio is managed through three uncorrelated lenses asset allocation, security selection and currency management to further reduce risk. The result is a well diversified allocation that seeks to pair bond-like risk with equity-like returns.

All assets managed by GIM on a discretionary basis are included in GIM s definition of total firm assets. A brief description of the strategy followed by this composite is shown above. Performance results are based on the reinvestment of all income, dividends and capital gains and are net of fees. Performance results are based on the reinvestment of all income, dividends and capital gains and are net of fees.

On October 1, 2006 GIM began using custom benchmarks to better reflect the actual fund and asset class make-up of the GIM Legacy Models and the Portfolio-Designs GIM Guardian Models. These custom benchmarks are comprised of Lipper Indices. GIM used both the Open-End Fund and Variable Annuity Lipper Indices in order to properly reflect the assets under management at GIM. On this date, GIM used a historical weighted average for the past five years of assets under management (AUM) in annuity products versus non -annuity assets. Annuity products made up 4 of GIM AUM while the other 6 was non-annuity. Therefore, GIM used a blend of the Lipper Variable Annuity Indices to make up 4 of each benchmark and a blend of the Lipper Open-End Fund Indices to make up 6. Except in the case of the Country allocation, this allocation is 10 Non-Annuity blend. GIM constructed each blend using the same strategic targets that are used in the GIM allocations. The blended benchmark components are rebalanced monthly. The Domestic stock target is then broken down into three categories; Large-Cap, Mid-Cap and Small-Cap, the percentages of these categories were derived from Standard & Poor s. (Data used as of 1/5/2006) The description of Lipper's Indices that are contained in one or more of GIM's benchmark composites are as follows: Lipper General Bond Funds; A fund that does not have any quality or maturity restrictions. Intends to keep bulk of assets in corporate or government debt issues. Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds, Funds that, by portfolio practice invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 30 of the dollar weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Lipper Mid-Cap Core funds are the same as the Large-Cap Core except they invest 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 30 of the dollar weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Lipper Small-Cap Core funds are the same as above except they invest 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 25 of the dollar weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. All three core cap funds have more latitude in the companies they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P 500 Index, for Large-Cap, MidCap 400 Index for Mid-Cap, and S&P SmallCap 600 Index for the Small-Cap. Lipper International, A fund that invests its assets in securities with primary trading markets outside the United States. Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds; A fund that invests in municipal debt issues with dollar weighted average maturities of five to ten years.

11 Guardian Balanced Income 30/70 (G BalInc) Definition of Firm Calculation of Performance Returns Fee Schedule Complete Description Explanation of Benchmarks and Indexes The Specific Benchmark for this Allocation Lipper Balanced Income Benchmark (LBalInc) Standard and Poor's 500 Index () GIM is a Fort Worth, Texas based investment manager that has provided an active asset allocation service since Through its longstanding GIM Legacy program, GIM offers numerous actively managed investment models. Additionally, through it s newer Portfolio -Designs program offered through independent investment advisory firms, GIM serves as both an investment manager and the Program Manager. Portfolio-Designs provides access to many of GIM s managed investment models in addition to investment models guided by skilled outside Strategists. GIM s firm definition changed with the introduction of the Portfolio-Designs program on December 31, 2008 to reflect its broader firm offerings. All assets managed by GIM on a discretionary basis are included in GIM s definition of total firm assets. A brief description of the strategy followed by this composite is shown above. Performance results are based on the reinvestment of all income, dividends and capital gains and are net of fees. Performance results are based on the reinvestment of all income, dividends and capital gains and are net of fees. Performance results are calculated net of actual (not model) management fees, transaction fees, custody fees, foreign taxes paid and non-reclaimable withholding taxes; but are not net of independent advisors' or consultants' fees. GIM does not charge performance based fees. Composites are rebalanced on a monthly basis. GIM does not employ the use of leverage or derivatives in any of its portfolios. However, the underlying mutual funds, annuity sub-accounts, ETFs or ETNs may employ the use of derivatives (such as short sales, options and futures contracts)or leverage. All of these investment strategies introduce risks which are in addition to the traditional market risks of equity or income investing. These strategies are often employed in an effort to decrease overall portfolio downside risk, but GIM and the outside Strategists can offer no guarantee that these strategies will be able to achieve their stated objectives. All returns displayed are calculated in U.S. dollars. Composite dispersion is measured using an asset-weighted standard deviation of returns of the portfolios. Actual client account returns may be different than those of the composite. For accounts custodied at TD Ameritrade ("TDA") or Trust Company of America ("TCA"), the management fee ("GIM s management fee") annual rate is as follows: The first $250,000 of the Client's Account value is charged 1.9, the next $250,000 is charged 1.7, the next $500,000 is charged 1.5 and amounts in excess of $1,000,000 are charged 1.0. In cases where GIM accepts accounts below its account minimums at TDA, GIM imposes a minimum fee of $100 annually. This minimum fee may make smaller accounts less cost effective than larger accounts. In addition to these fees, TDA and TCA will charge additional fees to Client, including asset based fees for custodial and execution services, as outlined in Schedule B to GIM's advisory agreement. For accounts custodied at qualified custodians other than TCA or TDA (as outlined on the GIM Product Guide), the management fee annual rate is as follows: The first $500,000 of the Client's Account value is charged 2.0, the next $500,000 is charged 1.5 and amounts in excess of $1,000,000 are charged 1.0. In cases where GIM accepts accounts below its account minimums at TDA, GIM imposes a minimum fee of $100 annually. This minimum fee may make smaller accounts less cost effective than larger accounts. GIM has agreements with some registered investment advisors and their representatives (collectively called "Advisor") who refer Clients to the GIM Legacy program without receiving a Solicitor's fee and agree to provide substantial services to such Clients on behalf of Manager. In these cases, GIM will offer its service to such Clients at a reduced rate from GIM's regular basic fee schedule. By written agreement between Advisor and GIM, Advisor has agreed to charge such Clients for its separate services that it provides to them. The Advisor shall have the exclusive right to determine the advisory fees ("Advisor's Fee") it will charge for this service. The Advisor's Fee schedule will be provided to Clients, as Schedule C, by Advisor on or before Clients execute GIM's Joint Services Agreement. Client may pay less or more than other clients receiving the same services. Request Form ADV Part 2 Brochure for a complete description of Green Investment Management, Inc. s management services. Market and economic conditions can change rapidly producing materially different returns (or losses) over different periods. Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or a loss.

No inference should be drawn that managed accounts will achieve similar performance or will be profitable in the future. On October 1, 2006 GIM began using custom benchmarks to better reflect the actual fund and asset class make-up of the GIM Legacy Models and the Portfolio-Designs GIM Guardian Models. These custom benchmarks are comprised of Lipper Indices. GIM used both the Open-End Fund and Variable Annuity Lipper Indices in order to properly reflect the assets under management at GIM. On this date, GIM used a historical weighted average for the past five years of assets under management (AUM) in annuity products versus non -annuity assets. Annuity products made up 4 of GIM AUM while the other 6 was non-annuity. Therefore, GIM used a blend of the Lipper Variable Annuity Indices to make up 4 of each benchmark and a blend of the Lipper Open-End Fund Indices to make up 6. Except in the case of the Country allocation, this allocation is 10 Non-Annuity blend. GIM constructed each blend using the same strategic targets that are used in the GIM allocations. The blended benchmark components are rebalanced monthly. The Domestic stock target is then broken down into three categories; Large-Cap, Mid-Cap and Small-Cap, the percentages of these categories were derived from Standard & Poor s. (Data used as of 1/5/2006) The description of Lipper's Indices that are contained in one or more of GIM's benchmark composites are as follows: Lipper General Bond Funds; A fund that does not have any quality or maturity restrictions. Intends to keep bulk of assets in corporate or government debt issues. Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds, Funds that, by portfolio practice invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 30 of the dollar weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Lipper Mid-Cap Core funds are the same as the Large-Cap Core except they invest 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 30 of the dollar weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Lipper Small-Cap Core funds are the same as above except they invest 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 25 of the dollar weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. All three core cap funds have more latitude in the companies they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P 500 Index, for Large-Cap, MidCap 400 Index for Mid-Cap, and S&P SmallCap 600 Index for the Small-Cap. Lipper International, A fund that invests its assets in securities with primary trading markets outside the United States. Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds; A fund that invests in municipal debt issues with dollar weighted average maturities of five to ten years. The returns used for the indexes and composite returns are total returns, which include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Indexes represent securities widely held by investors. You cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Balanced Income Composite is a total return benchmark comprised of 17.5% Lipper Large-Cap Core, 1.7% Lipper Mid-Cap Core, 0.8% Lipper Small-Cap Core, 1 Lipper International, 7 Lipper General Bond Funds. The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 widely held stocks often used as a proxy for the stock market.
