               7)      Nondiscrimination

               Investments shall not knowingly be made in any institution that practices or supports directly or
               indirectly through its actions discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, national or
               ethnic origin, age, gender, or physical disability.

               8)      Maximum Maturity

               Investment  maturities  shall  be  based  on  a  review  of  cash  flow  forecasts.    Maturities  will  be
               scheduled so as to permit the District to meet all projected obligations.  No investment shall be
               made  in  any  security,  other  than  a  security  underlying  a  repurchase  or  reverse  repurchase
               agreement that at the time of the investment has a term remaining to maturity in excess of five
               years.

               Any security type or structure not specifically approved by this policy and investment instructions
               is specifically prohibited.  Security types that are thereby prohibited to be purchased include, but
               are not limited to:

                       A.     Complex derivative structures such as range notes, inverse floaters, or any other

                       B.     Interest-only strips that are derived from a pool of mortgages, or any security that
                              could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity.

               10)     Sales Prior to Maturity

               Sales  prior  to  maturity  are  permitted.    It  is  also  recognized  that  in  a  changing  interest  rate
               environment, it may be financially advantageous to sell investments at a book value loss in order
               to reinvest in a more profitable security.
