Re: Exeter Trust Company
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Exeter Trust Company ("Exeter") is a non-depository, limited purpose trust
company chartered under the laws of the State of New Hampshire. Exeter provides
trustee services to individual and institutional clients.
Exeter established two groups of collective investment trust funds for employee
benefit plans in which Exeter is the directed trustee. Exeter selected Manning
& Napier Advisors, Inc. to provide investment advisory services to the first
group of collective investment trust funds as well as to clients. Exeter
selected Manning & Napier Advisory Advantage Corporation to provide investment
advisory services to the second group of collective investment trust funds, in
which Manning & Napier Advisory Advantage Corporation has contracted to
independent investment advisors to sub-advise the funds.
Sincerely,
/s/ Michelle LaMachia
Michelle LaMachia
