_________________________.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISCELLANEOUS ASSET ALLOCATION ENGAGEMENT: Asset allocation engagement model A
and B utilizes-load or no-load mutual funds (or variable sub-accounts), whereby
the Advisor recommends the proper allocation of assets, according the Clients
investment objectives, needs, and risk tolerances. The Advisor or the Investment
Advisor Representative will actively manage the accounts of the Client through
market or sector cycles, using sectional rotational analysis designed to
increase overall returns. [] MODEL A: Is designed to trade load & no-load mutual
funds and sub-accounts [] MODEL B: Is designed specifically for trading
______________________.
Both model A & B are designed to take advantage of a mutual fund or sub-account
leading or lagging indicators, enabling the Advisor to buy low and sell high.
These indicators allows the Advisor to spot trouble and get out of the specific
fund or sub-account before the price (or unit value) decreases significantly.
The Advisor will then move the account balance to another fund or sub-account,
whose technical indicators are rising. Thus, the Client is continuously buying
low and selling high. The object is to take advantage of the market, plain and
simple. The Advisor may incorporate several different factors to determine the
buy-sell signal; such as relative strength, fast and forward moving averages,
market direction, MACD timing signals, genetic algorithms (often called
artifical intelligence), and contrarian thinking (to name a few). Fee schedule
and setup charge for this type of engagement is, is as follows: First $500,000
... 1.75% $500,001 and up... 1.00%. Setup charge (payable in advance _________)
... $200. The above fee is the total annual fee, which shall be deducted
directly from the mutual fund account or sub-account. A fee of 1/4 of the annual
fee above, shall be debited every quarterly period, after services are rendered
(based on the ending valuation of your account). This shall constitute the
method of payment. In addition, the mutual fund or the variable sub-account,
and/or the Advisor (or the Advisors Agent) shall send a statement to the Client
detailing how the balance was calculated at the end of each quarterly period.
Also, each year there shall be an annual set-up charge of $50 dollars, payable
on the anniversary of the initial engagement, to cover that years administrative
charges. Miscellaneous Asset Allocation Engagement may be terminated at any time
by either party, upon delivery of a certified letter. All services rendered,
that was not properly paid for, shall be billed to the Client on a pro-rata fee
structure. Please understand, the Advisor cannot guarantee returns. In addition,
you may have capital gains or losses due to investing in mutual funds or
variable sub-account contracts. Clients will hold Advisor harmless to any
taxable consequences, by advising trading any investment purchased for this
program, or investment previously bought or and incorporated into this program.
Also, the Client shall hold the Advisor harmless to any asset allocation
arrangement agreed to (based on the Clients investment objectives, needs, and
risk tolerances). Do you understand and agree to this paragraph? Please initial

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSET PROTECTION ENGAGEMENT: D. This engagement is specifically designed to
shield assets from frivolous lawsuits or to stop litigation from pursuing the
case, due to the costs, taxes, or time, or the myriad of laws protecting the
grantor or beneficiary from frivolous lawsuits. All legal issues will be handled
by attorneys. A very important issue concerning over-all asset protection, is
investment diversification (both domestic and international). Tax deferment will
be a key issue concerning the use of fixed accounts and securities structured
within an asset protection trust. Because making money, is just as important as
protecting it. The Advisor will advise the client on the proper investments for
the trust, based on the objectives, needs, and risk tolerances of the Client.
There are several ways in which you can protect assets from frivolous lawsuits.
These are a few of the better known asset protection tools available; Domestic
Contract Trusts, Domestic Family Limited Partnerships, International Grantor's
Trusts, Dynasty Trusts, Charitable Remainder Uni-Trusts (▇▇▇▇▇), etc. The
Advisors team of lawyers will choose the best asset protection device for your
situation. Often a combination of asset protection devices will suit the Clients
needs more thoroughly, than the use of a stand alone asset protection device.
In addition, the Advisor will perform the due diligence on all banks and
insurance companies involved in the asset protection engagement. It will also be
the Advisors job to make sure that all reporting requirements are met, so the
Client does not fall out of grace with the IRS and Treasury Department. The
Advisor will not be responsible in doing the Clients Taxes. It is recommended
that a qualified CPA familiar with advanced domestic and international trust
taxation be used. The Advisor will introduce a qualified CPA, who is familiar
with domestic and international trust taxation to the Client (upon request). If
you have a CPA, we'll be happy to explain this complex planning to him. Tax
reduction will be one of the main focal points concerning asset protection,
since taxes are also a viable threat to your wealth. Asset protection is NOT a
device in which to hide money to evade taxation! You are taxed on a world wide
income, and all of the required reporting documents must be sent to the IRS,
Treasury Department, and Customs. This type of planning will also incorporate
long range divorce planning, Medicaid planning, immigration planning, NAFTA &
GATT planning, pension planning, and international business planning. The
Advisor will introduce you to your banker and trustee (if you're an
international grantor's trust). All Clients will pay for their trip to the
offshore location, unless otherwise noted in writing. Since knowing who to
contact is just as important as having the money to do this type of planning, it
will be the Advisors job to introduce you to these contacts.
This is a team approach, who's sole job is to protect your assets from frivolous
lawsuits, reduce your taxes, manage your money more effectively, and make sure
those assets are distributed accordingly. The advisor and other team members
associated with this engagement, will not let any Client transfer assets while
the Client is being sued or has knowledge that he or she is to be sued shortly.
The transfer of assets must be done in advance of any lawsuits! But in some
