CODE OF ETHICS,
POLICY ON INSIDER TRADING
AND
PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
AS AMENDED DECEMBER 6, 1999

<PAGE>
SECTION I
CODE OF ETHICS
FOR
JENNISON ASSOCIATES LLC
This Code sets forth rules, regulations and standards of conduct for
the employees of Jennison Associates LLC. It bears the approval of the
Corporation's Board of Directors and applies to Jennison Associates and all
subsidiaries.
The Code incorporates The Prudential Insurance Company of America's
ethics policies as well as additional policies specific to Jennison Associates
LLC. Prudential's Code of Ethics, "Making the Right Choices", may be found as
Exhibit Q in Jennison Associates' Compliance Manual.
The prescribed guidelines assure that the high ethical standards long
maintained by Jennison continue to be applied. The purpose of the Code is to
preclude circumstances which may lead to or give the appearance of conflicts of
interest, insider trading, or unethical business conduct. The rules prohibit
certain activities and personal financial interests as well as require
disclosure of personal investments and related business activities of all
directors, officers and employees.
ERISA and the federal securities laws define an investment advisor as a
fiduciary who owes his clients a duty of undivided loyalty, who shall not engage
in any activity in conflict with the interests of the client. As a fiduciary,
our personal and corporate ethics must be above reproach. Actions which expose
any of us or the organization to even the appearance of impropriety must not
occur.
The excellent name of our firm continues to be a direct reflection of
the conduct of each of us in everything we do.
Being fully aware of and strictly adhering to the Code of Ethics is the
responsibility of each Jennison Associates employee.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Employees may become privy to confidential information (information not
generally available to the public) concerning the affairs and business
transactions of Jennison, companies researched by us for investment, our present
and prospective clients, suppliers, officers and other staff members.
Confidential information also includes trade secrets and other proprietary
information of the Corporation such as business or product plans, systems,
methods, software, manuals and client lists. Safeguarding confidential
information is essential to the conduct of our business. Caution and discretion
are required in the use of such information and in sharing it only with those
who have a legitimate need to know.
A) PERSONAL USE: Confidential information obtained or developed as a
result of employment with the Corporation is not to be used or disclosed for the
purpose of furthering any private interest or as a means of making any personal
gain. Use or disclosure of such information could result in civil or criminal
penalties against the Corporation or the individual responsible for disclosing
such information.
Further guidelines pertaining to confidential information are contained
in the "Policy Statement on Insider Trading." (Set forth on page 8 in the
section dedicated specifically to Insider Trading.)
B) RELEASE OF CLIENT INFORMATION: Information concerning a client which
has been requested by third persons, organizations or governmental bodies may
only be released with the consent of the client involved. All requests for
information concerning a client (other than routine credit inquiries), including
requests pursuant to the legal process (such as subpoenas or court orders) must
be promptly referred to Karen E. Kohler. No information may be released, nor
should the client involved be contacted, until so directed by Karen E. Kohler.
In order to preserve the rights of our clients and to limit the firm's
liability concerning the release of client proprietary information, care must be
taken to:
* Limit use and discussion of information obtained on the job to
normal business activities.
* Request and use only information which is related to our
business needs.
* Restrict access to records to those with proper authorization and
legitimate business needs.
* Include only pertinent and accurate data in files which are used as
a basis for taking action or making decisions.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
You should avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest - that is,
any personal interest outside the Company which could be placed ahead of your
obligations to our clients, Jennison Associates or The Prudential Insurance
Company of America. Conflicts may exist even when no wrong is done. The
opportunity to act improperly may be enough to create the appearance of a
conflict.
We recognize and respect an employee's right of privacy concerning
personal affairs, but we must require a full and timely disclosure of any
situation which could result in a conflict of interest or even the appearance of
a conflict. Whether or not a conflict exists will be determined by the Company,
not by the employee involved.
To reinforce our commitment to the avoidance of potential conflicts of
interest, the following rules have been adopted:
1) YOU MAY NOT, without first having secured prior approval from the
Board of Directors, serve as a director, officer, employee, partner or trustee -
nor hold any other position of substantial interest - in any outside business
enterprise. You do not need prior approval, however, if the following three
conditions are met: one, the enterprise is a family firm owned principally by
other members of your family; two, the family business is not doing business
with Jennison or The Prudential; and three, the services required will not
interfere with your duties or your independence of judgment. Significant
involvement by employees in outside business activity is generally unacceptable.
In addition to securing prior approval for outside business activities, you will
be required to disclose all relationships with outside enterprises annually.
* Note - The above deals only with positions in business enterprises.
It does not effect Jennison's practice of permitting employees to be associated
with governmental, educational, charitable, religious or other civic
organizations. These activities may be entered into without prior consent, but
must still be disclosed on an annual basis.
2) YOU MAY NOT act on behalf of Jennison in connection with any
transaction in which you have a personal interest. This rule does not apply to
any personal interest resulting from your participation in any Jennison or
Prudential plan in the nature of incentive compensation, or in the case of a
plan which provides for direct participation in specific transactions by
Jennison's Board of Directors.
3) YOU MAY NOT, without prior approval from the Board of Directors,
have a substantial interest in any outside business which, to your knowledge, is
involved currently in a business transaction with Jennison or The Prudential, or
is engaged in businesses similar to any business engaged in by Jennison. A
substantial interest includes any investment in the outside business involving
an amount greater than 10 percent of your gross assets, or $10,000 if that
amount is larger, or involving an ownership interest greater than 2 percent of
the outstanding equity interests. You do not need approval to invest in
open-ended registered investment companies such as investments in mutual funds
and similar enterprises which are publicly owned.
4
<PAGE>
4) YOU MAY NOT, without prior approval of the Board of Directors,
engage in any transaction involving the purchase of products and/or services
from Jennison, except on the same terms and conditions as they are offered to
the public. Plans offering services to employees approved by the Board of
Directors are exempt from this rule.
5.) YOU MAY NOT purchase an equity interest in any competitor.
Employees and their immediate families are also prohibited from investing in
securities of a client or supplier with whom the staff member regularly deals
even if the securities are widely traded.
OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
ISSUES REGARDING THE RETENTION OF SUPPLIERS: The choice of our
suppliers must be based on quality, reliability, price, service, and
technical advantages.
GIFTS: Jennison employees and their immediate families should not
solicit, accept, retain or provide any gifts or favors which might influence
decisions you or the recipient must make in business transactions involving
Jennison or which others might reasonably believe could influence those
decisions. Even a nominal gift should not be accepted if, to a reasonable
observer, it might appear that the gift would influence your business decisions.
Modest gifts and favors, which would not be regarded by others as
improper, may be accepted or given on an occasional basis. Examples of such
gifts are those received as normal business courtesies (i.e. meals or golf
games); non-cash gifts of nominal value (such as received at Holiday time);
gifts received because of kinship, marriage or social relationships entirely
beyond and apart from an organization in which membership or an official
position is held as approved by the Corporation. Entertainment which satisfies
these requirements and conforms to generally accepted business practices also is
permissible. Please reference the Gifts and Entertainment section of Jennison
Associates' Compliance Manual for a more detailed explanation of Jennison's
policy towards gifts and entertainment.
IMPROPER PAYMENTS - KICKBACKS: In the conduct of the Corporation's
business, no bribes, kickbacks, or similar remuneration or consideration of any
kind are to be given or offered to any individual or organization or to any
intermediaries such as agents, attorneys or other consultants, for the purpose
of influencing such individual or organization in obtaining or retaining
business for, or directing business to, the Corporation.
BOOKS, RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS: The integrity of the accounting records of
the Corporation is essential. All receipts and expenditures, including personal
expense statements must be supported by documents that accurately and properly
describe such expenses. Staff members responsible for approving expenditures or
for keeping books, records and accounts for the Corporation are required to
approve and record all expenditures and other entries based upon proper
supporting documents so that the accounting records of the Corporation are
maintained in
5
<PAGE>
reasonable detail, reflecting accurately and fairly all
transactions of the Corporation including the disposition of its assets and
liabilities. The falsification of any book, record or account of the
Corporation, the submission of any false personal expense statement, claim for
reimbursement of a non-business personal expense, or false claim for an employee
benefit plan payment are prohibited. Disciplinary action will be taken against
employees who violate these rules, which may result in dismissal.
LAWS AND REGULATIONS: The activities of the Corporation must always be
in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It is the Company's
policy to be in strict compliance with all laws and regulations applied to our
business. We recognize, however, that some laws and regulations may be ambiguous
and difficult to interpret. Good faith efforts to follow the spirit and intent
of all laws is expected. To ensure compliance, the Corporation intends to
educate its employees on laws related to Jennison's activities which may include
periodically issuing bulletins, manuals and memoranda. Staff members are
expected to read all such materials and be familiar with their content.
OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES & POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS: Jennison Associates does
not contribute financial or other support to political parties or candidates for
public office except where lawfully permitted and approved in advance in
accordance with procedures adopted by Jennison's Board of Directors. Employees
may, of course, make political contributions, but only on their own behalf; they
will not be reimbursed by the Company for such contributions.
Legislation generally prohibits the Corporation or anyone acting on its
behalf from making an expenditure or contribution of cash or anything else of
monetary value which directly or indirectly is in connection with an election to
political office; as, for example granting loans at preferential rates or
providing non-financial support to a political candidate or party by donating
office facilities. Otherwise, individual participation in political and civic
activities conducted outside of normal business hours is encouraged, including
the making of personal contributions to political candidates or activities.
Employees are free to seek and hold an elective or appointive public
office, provided you do not do so as a representative of the Company. However,
you must conduct campaign activities and perform the duties of the office in a
manner that does not interfere with your responsibilities to the firm.

<PAGE>
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE & CONSEQUENCES IF VIOLATION OF THE CODE OCCURS:
Each year all employees will be required to complete a form certifying
that they have read this booklet, understand their responsibilities, and are in
compliance with the requirements set forth in this statement.
This process should remind us of the Company's concern with ethical
issues and its desire to avoid conflicts of interest or their appearance. It
should also prompt us to examine our personal circumstances in light of the
Company's philosophy and policies regarding ethics.
Certain key employees will be required to complete a form verifying
that they have complied with all company procedures and filed disclosures of
significant personal holdings and corporate affiliations.
If any staff member has reason to believe that any situation may have
resulted in a violation of any provision of the Code of Ethics, whether by that
staff member or by another, the matter must be reported promptly to Karen E.
Kohler.
Violation of any provision of the Code of Ethics by any staff member
may constitute grounds for disciplinary action, including dismissal.

SECTION II
INSIDER TRADING
As a result of recent legislative events, particularly the enactment of
the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988, the Securities
Exchange Acts and the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 require that all
investment advisors establish, maintain and enforce policies and supervisory
procedures designed to prevent the misuse of material, non-public information by
such investment advisor, and any associated person.
This section of the Code sets forth Jennison Associates' policy
statement on insider trading. It explains some of the terms and concepts
associated with insider trading, as well as the civil and criminal penalties for
insider trading violations. In addition, it sets forth the necessary procedures
required to implement Jennison Associates' Insider Trading Policy Statement.
This policy applies to all Jennison Associates' employees, as well as
the employees of all affiliated companies.

JENNISON ASSOCIATES' POLICY STATEMENT
AGAINST INSIDER TRADING
When contemplating a transaction for your personal account, or an
account in which you may have a direct or indirect personal or family interest,
we must be certain that such transaction is not in conflict with the interests
of our clients. Specific rules in this area are difficult, and in the final
analysis, each of us must make our own determination as to whether a transaction
is in conflict with client interests. Although it is not possible to anticipate
all potential conflicts of interest, we have tried to set a standard that
protects the firm's clients, yet is also practical for our employees. The
Company recognizes the desirability of giving its corporate personnel reasonable
freedom with respect to their investment activities, on behalf of themselves,
their families, and in some cases non-client accounts (i.e. charitable or
educational organizations on whose boards of directors corporate personnel
serve). However, personal investment activity may conflict with the interests of
the Company's clients. In order to avoid such conflicts -- or even the
appearance of conflicts -- the Company has adopted the following policy:
Jennison Associates LLC forbids any director, officer or employee
from trading, either personally or on behalf of clients or others, on material,
non-public information or communicating material, non-public information to
others in violation of the law. Said conduct is deemed to be "insider trading."
Such policy applies to every director, officer and employee and extends to
activities within and outside their duties at Jennison Associates.
Every director, officer, and employee is required to read and retain
this policy statement. Questions regarding Jennison Associates' Insider Trading
policy and procedures should be referred to Karen E. Kohler or John H. Hobbs.
EXPLANATION OF RELEVANT TERMS AND CONCEPTS
Although insider trading is illegal, Congress has not defined
"insider", "material" or "non-public information". Instead the courts have
developed definitions of these terms. Set forth below are very general
descriptions of these terms. However, it is usually not easily determined
whether information is "material" or "non-public" and, therefore, whenever you
have any questions as to whether information is material or non-public, consult
with Karen E. Kohler. Do not make this decision yourself.
9
<PAGE>
1) WHO IS AN INSIDER?
The concept of an "insider" is broad. It includes officers, directors
and employees of a company. A person may be a "temporary insider" if he or she
enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company's
affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company's
purposes. Examples of temporary insiders are the company's attorneys,
accountants, consultants and bank lending officers, as well as the employees of
such organizations. Jennison Associates and its employees may become "temporary
insiders" of a company in which we invest, in which we advise, or for which we
perform any other service. An outside individual may be considered an insider,
according to the Supreme Court, if the company expects the outsider to keep the
disclosed non-public information confidential or if the relationship suggests
such a duty of confidentiality.
2) WHAT IS MATERIAL INFORMATION?
Trading on inside information is not a basis for liability unless the
information is material. Material Information is defined, as:
* Information, for which there is a substantial likelihood, that a
reasonable investor would consider important in making his or her investment
decisions, or
* Information that is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect
on the price of a company's securities.
Information that directors, officers and employees should consider
material includes, but is not limited to: dividend changes, earnings estimates,
changes in previously released earnings estimates, a significant increase or
decline in orders, significant new products or discoveries, significant merger
or acquisition proposals or agreements, major litigation, liquidation problems,
and extraordinary management developments.
In addition, knowledge about Jennison Associates' trading information
and patterns may be deemed material.
3) WHAT IS NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION?
Information is "non-public" until it has been effectively communicated
to the market place. One must be able to point to some fact to show that the
information is generally available to the public. For example, information found
in a report filed with the SEC, or appearing in Dow Jones, REUTERS ECONOMICS
SERVICES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or other publications of general circulation
would be considered public.
4) MISAPPROPRIATION THEORY
Under the "misappropriation" theory liability is established when
trading occurs on material non-public information that is stolen or
misappropriated from any other person. In U.S. V. CARPENTER, a columnist
defrauded THE WALL STREET JOURNAL by stealing non-public information
10
<PAGE>
from the JOURNAL and using it for trading in the securities markets. Note
that the misappropriation theory can be used to reach a variety of individuals
not previously thought to be encompassed under the fiduciary duty theory.
5) WHO IS A CONTROLLING PERSON?
"Controlling persons" include not only employers, but any person with
power to influence or control the direction of the management, policies or
activities of another person. Controlling persons may include not only the
Company, but its directors and officers.
PENALTIES FOR INSIDER TRADING VIOLATIONS
Penalties for trading on or communicating material non-public
information are more severe than ever. The individuals involved in such unlawful
conduct may be subject to both civil and criminal penalties. A controlling
person may be subject to civil or criminal penalties for failing to establish,
maintain and enforce Jennison Associates' Policy Statement against Insider
Trading and/or if such failure permitted or substantially contributed to an
insider trading violation.
Individuals can be subject to some or all of the penalties below even
if he or she does not personally benefit from the violation. Penalties include:
a. CIVIL INJUNCTIONS
b. TREBLE DAMAGES
c. DISGORGEMENT OF PROFITS
d. JAIL SENTENCES - Under the new laws, the maximum jail
sentences for criminal securities law violations increased from 5 years to 10
years.
e. CIVIL FINES - Persons who committed the violation may pay
up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided, whether or not the person
actually benefited.
f. CRIMINAL FINES - The employer or other "controlling
persons" may pay up to $2,500,000.
g. Violators will be barred from the securities industry.

SECTION III
IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES & POLICY
The following procedures have been established to assist the officers,
directors and employees of Jennison Associates in preventing and detecting
insider trading as well as to impose sanctions against insider trading. Every
officer, director and employee must follow these procedures or risk serious
sanctions, including possible dismissal, substantial personal liability and
criminal penalties. If you have any questions about these procedures you should
consult Karen E. Kohler or John H. Hobbs.
1) IDENTIFYING INSIDE INFORMATION
Before trading for yourself or others, including client accounts
managed by Jennison Associates, in the securities of a company about which you
may have potential inside information, ask yourself the following questions:
i. IS THE INFORMATION MATERIAL? *Would an investor consider
this information important in making his or her investment decisions? ** Would
this information substantially effect the market price of the securities if
generally disclosed?
ii. IS THE INFORMATION NON-PUBLIC? * To whom has this
information been provided? ** Has the information been effectively communicated
to the marketplace by being published in REUTERS, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, or
other publications of general circulation?
If, after consideration of the above, you believe that the information
is material and non-public, or if you have questions as to whether the
information is material and non-public, you should take the following steps:
i. Report the matter immediately to Karen E. Kohler or John H.
Hobbs. If neither are available you should contact Mr. Louis Begley, our
attorney at Debevoise and Plimpton ((212)909-6000).
ii. Do not repurchase or sell the securities on behalf of
yourself or others, including client accounts managed by Jennison Associates.
iii. Do not communicate the information inside or outside
Jennison Associates, other than to Karen E. Kohler, John H. Hobbs, or Mr. Begley
our outside counsel.
iv. After Karen E. Kohler, John H. Hobbs, or Mr. Begley has
reviewed the issue, you will be instructed to continue the prohibitions against
trading and communication, or you will be allowed to trade and communicate the
information.
12
<PAGE>
2) RESTRICTING ACCESS TO MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
Information that you identify as material and non-public may not be
communicated to anyone, including persons within Jennison Associates LLC, except
as provided above. In addition, care should be taken so that such information is
secure. For example, files containing material non-public information should be
locked; access to computer files containing non-public information should be
restricted.
Jennison employees have no obligation to the clients of Jennison
Associates to trade or recommend trading on the basis of material, non-public
(inside) information in their possession. Jennison's fiduciary responsibility to
its clients requires that the firm and its employees regard the limitations
imposed by Federal securities laws.
3) ALLOCATION OF BROKERAGE
To supplement its own research and analysis, to corroborate data
compiled by its staff, and to consider the views and information of others in
arriving at its investment decisions, Jennison Associates, consistent with its
efforts to secure best price and execution, allocates brokerage business to
those broker-dealers in a position to provide such services.
It is the firm's policy not to allocate brokerage in consideration of
the attempted furnishing of material non-public (inside) information. Employees,
in recommending the allocation of brokerage to broker-dealers, should not give
consideration to the provision of any material non-public (inside) information.
The policy of Jennison Associates as set forth in this statement should be
brought to the attention of such broker-dealer.
4) RESOLVING ISSUES CONCERNING INSIDER TRADING
If doubt remains as to whether information is material or non-public,
or if there is any unresolved question as to the applicability or interpretation
of the foregoing procedures and standards, or as to the propriety of any action,
it must be discussed with Karen E. Kohler or John H. Hobbs before trading or
communicating the information to anyone.
This code will be distributed to all Jennison Associates personnel.
Periodically or upon request, Karen E. Kohler will meet with such personnel to
review this statement of policy, including any developments in the law and to
answer any questions of interpretation or application of this policy.
From time to time this statement of policy will be revised in the light
of developments in the law, questions of interpretation and application, and
practical experience with the procedures contemplated by the statement.

SECTION IV
JENNISON ASSOCIATES PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
1. GENERAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
The management of Jennison Associates is fully aware of and in no way
wishes to deter the security investments of its individual employees. The
securities markets, whether equity, fixed income, international or domestic,
offer individuals alternative methods of enhancing their personal investments.
Due to the nature of our business and our fiduciary responsibility to
our client funds, we must protect the firm and its employees from the
possibilities of both conflicts of interest and illegal insider trading in
regard to their personal security transactions.
We have adopted the following policies and procedures on employee
personal trading to insure against violations of the law. These policies and
procedures are in addition to those set forth in the Code of Ethics and the
Policy Statement Against Insider Trading.
2. RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
Jennison Associates, as an investment advisor, is required by Rule
204-2 of the under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to keep records of every
transaction in securities in which any of its personnel has any direct or
indirect beneficial ownership, except transactions effected in any account over
which neither the investment adviser nor any advisory representative of the
investment adviser has any direct or indirect influence or control and
transactions in securities which are direct obligations of the United States,
mutual funds and high-quality short-term instruments. This includes transactions
for the personal accounts of an employee, as well as, transactions for the
accounts of other members of their immediate family (including the spouse, minor
children, and adults living in the same household with the officer, director, or
employee) for which they or their spouse have any direct or indirect influence
or control and trusts of which they are trustees or other accounts in which they
have any direct or indirect beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence
or control, unless the investment decisions for the account are made by an
independent investment manager in a fully discretionary account. Jennison
recognizes that some of its employees may, due to their living arrangements, be
uncertain as to their obligations under this Personal Trading Policy. If an
employee has any question or doubt as to whether they have direct or indirect
influence or control over an account, he or she must consult with the Compliance
Department as to their status and obligations with respect to the account in
question.
14
<PAGE>
In addition, Jennison, as a subadviser to investment companies
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (e.g., mutual funds), is
required by Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act to review and keep
records of personal investment activities of "access persons" of these funds,
unless the access person does not have direct or indirect influence or control
of the accounts. An "access person" is defined as any director, officer, general
partner or Advisory Person of a Fund or Fund's Investment Adviser. "Advisory
Person" is defined as any employee of the Fund or investment adviser (or of any
company in a control relationship to the Fund or investment adviser) who, in
connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in,
or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale of investments by a Fund,
or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to
the purchases or sales. Therefore, Jennison's "access persons" and "advisory
persons" include the following: portfolio managers, investment analysts,
traders, officers and directors.
1) ACCESS PERSONS: PORTFOLIO MANAGERS, INVESTMENT ANALYSTS, TRADERS, AND
OTHER JENNISON OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

information:
1. the title, number of shares and principal amount of each investment

16
<PAGE>
The report must disclose the following material:
* Name and type of account - single, joint, trust,
partnership, etc.
* A statement disclosing the general purpose of the
account (e.g., as a trustee of XYZ

Board of Directors to invest funds on behalf of XYZ
for the benefit of its annual scholarship fund).

is maintained.

subject to his or her employer's own code of ethics, a copy of
which and any amendments thereto shall have been made
available to Jennison's Compliance Department. The Compliance
Department of the non-employee director's employer must
represent quarterly to the Jennison Compliance Department that
the non-employee director has complied with the recordkeeping
and other procedures of its code of ethics during the most
recent calendar quarter. Such representation shall also state
that such policies and procedures shall be deemed adequate for
compliance with both Prudential's and Jennison's Codes of
Ethics. If there have been any violations of the employer's
code of ethics by such non-employee director, the employer's
17
<PAGE>
Compliance Department must submit a detailed report of such
violations and what remedial action, if any was taken.
B.) Non-employee directors shall be exempt from supplying a copy
of Schedule B, D, and Schedule E from their federal income

from the pre-clearance procedures as described below.
3. PRE-CLEARANCE PROCEDURES
All directors, officers, and employees of Jennison Associates may need
to obtain clearance from the Personal Investment Committee prior to effecting
any securities transaction in which they or their immediate families (including
the spouse, minor children, and adults living in the same household with the
officer, director, or employee) for which they or their spouse have any direct
or indirect influence or control, have a beneficial interest on behalf of a
trust of which they are trustee, or for any other account in which they have a
beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence or control. Determination as
to whether or not a particular transaction requires pre-approval should be made
by consulting the "Compliance and Reporting of Personal Transactions Matrix"
found on Exhibit A.
Please note, voluntary tender offers are a recent addition to the
"Compliance and Reporting of Personal Transactions" matrix. They are both a
reportable transaction and one that requires pre-approval. Approval of tendering
shares into a tender offer shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the
Personal Investment Committee.
The Personal Investment Committee will make its decision of whether to
clear a proposed trade on the basis of the personal trading restrictions set
forth -below. A member of the Compliance Department shall promptly notify the
officer, director, or employee of approval or denial to trade the requested
security. Notification of approval or denial to trade may be verbally given as
soon as possible; however, it shall be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of
the verbal notification. Please note that the approval granted will be valid
ONLY for that day in which the approval has been obtained; provided, however,
that approved orders for securities traded in certain foreign markets may be
executed within 2 business days from the date pre-clearance is granted,
depending on the time at which approval is granted and the hours of the markets
on which the security is traded are open. In other words, if a trade was not
effected on the day for which approval was originally sought, a new approval
form must be re-submitted on each subsequent day in which trading may occur. Or,
if the security for which approval has been granted is traded on foreign
markets, approval is valid for an additional day (i.e., the day for which
approval was granted and the day following the day for which approval was
granted).
Only transactions where the investment decisions for the account are
made by an independent investment manager in a fully discretionary account will
be exempt from the pre-clearance procedures. Copies of the agreement of such
discretionary accounts, as well as
18
<PAGE>
transaction statements or another comparable portfolio report, must be
submitted on a quarterly basis to the Compliance Department for review
and record retention.
WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR INTENDED SECURITIES ACTIVITIES MUST BE FILED FOR
APPROVAL PRIOR TO EFFECTING ANY TRANSACTION FOR WHICH PRIOR APPROVAL IS
REQUIRED. The name of the security, the date, the nature of the transaction
(purchase or sale), the price, the name and relationship to you of the account
holder (self, son, daughter, spouse, father, etc.), and the name of the
broker-dealer or bank involved in the transaction must be disclosed in such
written notice. Such written notice should be submitted on the Pre-Clearance
Transaction Request Forms (Equity/Fixed Income) which can be obtained from the
Compliance Department. If proper procedures are not complied with, action will
be taken against the employee. All violations shall go before the Personal
Investment Committee and Jennison's Compliance Committee. The violators may be
asked to reverse the transaction and/or transfer the security or profits gained
over to the accounts of Jennison Associates. In addition, penalties for personal
trading violations shall be determined in accordance with the penalties schedule
set forth in Section 5, "Penalties for Violating Jennison Associates' Personal
Trading Policies." Each situation and its relevance will be given due weight. If
non-compliance with the pre-clearance procedure becomes repetitive, dismissal,
by the Board of Directors, of the employee can result.
4. PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
The following rules, regulations and restrictions have been set forth
by the Board of Directors and apply to the personal security transactions of all
employees. These rules will govern whether clearance for a proposed transaction
will be granted. These rules also apply to the sale of securities once the
purchase of a security has been pre-approved and completed.
No director, officer or employee of the Company may effect for himself,
an immediate family member (including the spouse, minor children, and adults
living in the same household with the officer, director, or employee) for which
they or their spouse have any direct or indirect influence or control, or any
trust of which they are trustee, or any other account in which they have a
beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence or control any transaction
in a security, or recommend any such transaction in a security, of which, to
his/her knowledge, the Company has effected the same for any of its clients, if
such transaction would in any way conflict with, or be detrimental to, the
interests of such client, or if such transaction was effected with prior
knowledge of material, non-public information.
Except in particular cases in which the Personal Investment Committee
has determined in advance that proposed transactions would not conflict with the
foregoing policy, the following rules shall govern all transactions (and
recommendations) by all corporate personnel for their own accounts, for their
immediate family's accounts (including accounts of the spouse, minor children,
and adults living in the same household with the officer, director, or employee)
for which they or their spouse have any direct or indirect influence or control,
and any trust of which they are trustee, or any other account in which they have
a beneficial interest or direct or indirect influence or control. The provisions
of the following paragraphs do not necessarily imply that
19
<PAGE>
the Personal Investment Committee will conclude that the transactions or
recommendations to which they relate are in violation of the foregoing policy,
but rather are designed to indicate the transactions for which PRIOR APPROVAL
should be obtained to ensure that no conflict occurs.
A. PERSONAL TRADING BY ALL EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND
EMPLOYEES
(1.) Neither any security recommended, or proposed to be
recommended to any client for purchase, nor any security
purchased or proposed to be purchased for any client may be
purchased by any corporate personnel if such purchase will
interfere in any way with the orderly purchase of such
security by any client.
(2.) Neither any security recommended, or proposed to be
recommended to any client for sale, nor any security sold,
or proposed to be sold, for any client may be sold by any
corporate personnel if such sale will interfere in any way
with the orderly sale of such security by any client.
(3.) No security may be sold after being recommended to any
client for purchase or after being purchased for any client,
and no security may be purchased after being recommended to
any client for sale or after being sold for any client, if
the sale or purchase is effected with a view to making a
profit on the anticipated market action of the security
resulting from such recommendation, purchase or sale.
(4.) In order to prevent even the appearance of a violation of
this rule or a conflict of interest with a client account ,
YOU SHOULD REFRAIN FROM TRADING IN THE SEVEN (7) CALENDAR
DAYS BEFORE AND AFTER Jennison trades in that security.
If an employee trades during a blackout period, disgorgement
may be required. For example, if an Employee's trade is
pre-approved and executed and subsequently, within seven days
of the transaction, the Firm trades on behalf of Jennison's
clients, the Jennison Personal Investment Committee shall
review the personal trade in light of firm trading activity
and determine on a case by case basis the appropriate action.
If the Personal Investment Committee finds that a client is
disadvantaged by the personal trade, the trader may be
required to REVERSE THE TRADE AND DISGORGE TO THE FIRM ANY
DIFFERENCE DUE TO ANY INCREMENTAL PRICE ADVANTAGE OVER THE
CLIENT'S TRANSACTION.
B. SHORT-TERM TRADING PROFITS
All directors (both employees and non-employees),
officers, and employees of Jennison Associates are prohibited
from profiting in their own accounts and the accounts of their
immediate families (including the spouse, minor children, and
adults living in the same household with the officer,
director, or employee) for which they or their spouse have any
direct or indirect influence or control or any trust of which
they are a trustee, or for any other account in
20
<PAGE>
which they have a beneficial interest or direct or indirect
influence or control from the purchase and sale, or the sale
and purchase of the same or equivalent securities within 60
calendar days. Any profits realized from the purchase and sale
or the sale and purchase of the same (or equivalent)
securities within the 60 day restriction period shall be
disgorged to the firm, net of taxes.
"Profits realized" shall be calculated consistent
with interpretations under section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations
thereunder, which require matching any purchase and sale that
occur with in a 60 calendar day period across all accounts
over which a Jennison director, officer or employee has a
direct or indirect beneficial interest (including accounts
that hold securities held by members of a person's immediate
family sharing the same household) over which the person has
direct or indirect control or influence without regard to the
order of the purchase or the sale during the period. As such,
a person who sold a security and then repurchased the same (or
equivalent) security would need to disgorge a profit if
matching the purchase and the sale would result in a profit.
Conversely, if matching the purchase and sale would result in
a loss, profits would not be disgorged.
The prohibition on short-term trading profits shall
not apply to trading of index options and index futures
contracts and options on index futures contracts on broad
based indices. However, such transactions remain subject to
the pre-clearance procedures and other applicable procedures.
A list of broad-based indices is provided on Exhibit B.
C. No purchase of a security by any of the corporate personnel
shall be made if the purchase would deprive any of Jennison's
clients of an investment opportunity, after taking into
account (in determining whether such purchase would constitute
an investment opportunity) the client's investments and
investment objectives and whether the opportunity is being
offered to corporate personnel by virtue of his or her
position at Jennison.
D. None of the corporate personnel may purchase NEW ISSUES OF
EITHER COMMON STOCK or CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES except in
accordance with item E below. This prohibition does not apply
to new issues of shares of open-end investment companies. All
corporate personnel shall also obtain prior written approval
of the Personal Investment Committee in the form of a
completed "Request to Buy or Sell Securities" form before
effecting any purchase of securities on a `PRIVATE PLACEMENT'
basis. Such approval will take into account, among other
factors, whether the investment opportunity should be
reserved for Jennison's clients and whether the opportunity
is being offered to corporate personnel by virtue of his or
her position at Jennison.
E. Subject to the pre-clearance and reporting procedures,
corporate personnel may purchase securities on the date
of issuance, provided that such securities are acquired in
the secondary market. Upon requesting approval of such
transactions, employees must acknowledge that he or
she is aware that such request for
21
<PAGE>
approval may not be submitted until AFTER the security has
been issued to the public and is trading at prevailing market
prices in the secondary market. Requests for approval of such
transactions must be accompanied by a copy of the final
prospectus. Additionally, trade confirmations of executions
of such transaction must be received by the Compliance
Department NO LATER THAN THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON THE DAY
FOLLOWING EXECUTION OF SUCH TRADE. If such trade confirmation
is not received, the employee may be requested to reverse
(subject to pre-approval) the trade, and any profits or
losses avoided must be disgorged to the firm.
F. Subject to the preclearance and reporting procedures,
corporate personnel may effect purchases upon the exercise of
rights issued by an issuer PRO RATA to all holders of a class
of its securities, to the extent that such rights were
acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so
acquired. In the event that approval to exercise such rights
is denied, subject to preclearance and reporting procedures,
corporate personnel may obtain permission TO SELL such rights
on the last day that such rights may be traded.
G. Any transactions in index futures contracts and index options,
including those effected on a broad-based index, are subject
to the preclearance and reporting requirements.
H. No director, officer, or employee of Jennison Associates may
profit in their personal securities accounts or the accounts
of their immediate families (including the spouse, minor
children, and adults living in the same household with the
officer, director, or employee) for which they or their
spouse have any direct or indirect influence or control or any
trust of which they are a trustee, or for any other account in
which they have a beneficial interest or direct or indirect
influence or control by short selling or purchasing put
options on securities that represent a position in any
portfolios managed by Jennison on behalf of its clients. Any
profits realized from such transactions shall be disgorged to
the Firm, net of taxes. Put options, short sales and short
sales against the box are subject to the preclearance rules.
I. No employee, director, or officer of Jennison Associates may
participate in investment clubs.
J. While participation in employee stock purchase plans and
employee stock option plans need not be pre-approved, copies
of the terms of the plans should be provided to the
Compliance Department as soon as possible so that the
application of the various provisions of the Personal Trading
Policy may be determined (E.G., pre-approval, reporting,
short-term trading profits ban). Corporate personnel must
obtain pre-approval for any discretionary disposition of
securities or discretionary exercise of options acquired
pursuant to participation in an employee stock purchase or
employee stock option plan. Nondiscretionary dispositions of
22
<PAGE>
securities or exercise are not subject to pre-approval.
Additionally, corporate personnel should report holdings of
such securities and options on an annual basis.
K. Subject to pre-clearance, long-term investing through direct
stock purchase plans is permitted. The terms of the plan, the
initial investment, and any purchases through automatic debit
must be provided to and approved by the Personal Investment
Committee. Any changes to the original terms of approval,
E.G., increasing, decreasing, or termination of participation
in the plan, as well as any sales or discretionary purchase of
securities in the plan must be submitted for pre-clearance.
Provided that the automatic monthly purchases have been
approved by the Personal Investment Committee, each automatic
monthly purchase need not be submitted for pre-approval.
"Profits realized" for purposes of applying the ban on
short-term trading profits will be determined by matching the
proposed discretionary purchase or sale transaction against
the most recent discretionary purchase or sale, as
applicable, not the most recent automatic purchase or sale
(if applicable). Additionally, holdings should be disclosed
quarterly.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE PERSONAL TRADING POLICY
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, exceptions to certain
provisions (e.g., blackout period, pre-clearance procedures, and short-term
trading profits) of the Personal Trading Policy may be granted on a case by case
basis when no abuse is involved and the equities of the situation strongly
support an exception to the rule.
Investments in the following instruments are not bound to the rules and
restrictions as set forth above and may be made without the approval of the
Investment Compliance Committee: governments, agencies, money markets,
repurchase orders, reverse repurchase orders and open-ended registered
investment companies.
All employees, on a quarterly basis, must sign a statement that they,
during said period, have been in full compliance with all personal and insider
trading rules and regulations set forth within Jennison Associates' Code of
Ethics, Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Personal Trading Policy.

5. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF JENNISON ASSOCIATES' PERSONAL TRADING
POLICIES
Violations of Jennison's Personal Trading Policy and Procedures, while
in most cases may be inadvertent, must not occur. It is important that every
employee abide by the policies established by the Board of Directors. Penalties
will be assessed in accordance with the schedules set forth below. THESE,
HOWEVER, ARE MINIMUM PENALTIES. THE FIRM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE ANY OTHER
APPROPRIATE ACTION, INCLUDING TERMINATION.
All violations and penalties imposed will be reported to Jennison's
Compliance Committee on a monthly basis. In addition, the Compliance Committee
will provide the Board of Directors with an annual report which at minimum:
(1) summarizes existing procedures concerning personal
investing and any changes in procedures made during
the preceding year;
(2) identifies any violations requiring significant
remedial action during the preceding year; and
(3) identifies any recommended changes in existing
restrictions or procedures based upon Jennison's
experience under its policies and procedures,
evolving industry practices, or developments in
applicable laws and regulations.
TYPE OF VIOLATION
A. PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO SECURE PRE-APPROVAL
The minimum penalties for failure to pre-clear personal securities
transactions include POSSIBLE REVERSAL OF THE TRADE, POSSIBLE DISGORGEMENT OF
PROFITS, AS WELL AS THE IMPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL CASH PENALTIES. Please note
that subsections 2 and 3 have been applied retroactively from its effective
date.
1. FAILURE TO PRE-CLEAR PURCHASE
Depending on the circumstances of the violation, the individual
may be asked to reverse the trade (i.e., the securities must be
sold). Any profits realized from the subsequent sale, net of
taxes must be turned over to the firm. PLEASE NOTE: The sale or
reversal of such trade must be submitted for pre-approval.
2. FAILURE TO PRE-CLEAR SALES THAT RESULT IN LONG-TERM
CAPITAL GAINS
Depending on the circumstances of the violation, the firm may
require that profits realized from the sale of securities that are
defined as "long-term capital gains" by Internal Revenue Code (the
"IRC") section 1222 and the rules thereunder, as amended, to be turned
over to the firm, subject to the following maximum amounts:
24
<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
JALLC POSITION DISGORGEMENT PENALTY
<S> <C>
Senior Vice Presidents and above Realized long-term capital gain, net of

Vice Presidents and Assistant Vice Presidents Realized long-term capital gain, net of
taxes, up to $5,000.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All other JALLC Personnel 25% of the realized long-term gain,
irrespective of taxes, up to $3,000.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
3. FAILURE TO PRE-CLEAR SALES THAT RESULT IN SHORT-TERM CAPITAL
GAINS
Depending on the nature of the violation, the firm may require
that all profits realized from sales that result in profits that are
defined as "short-term capital gains" by IRC section 1222 and the rules
thereunder, as amended. Please note, however, any profits that result
from violating the ban on short-term trading profits are addressed in
section 5.C. "Penalties for Violation of Short- Term Trading Profit
Rule."
4. ADDITIONAL CASH PENALTIES

THIRD OFFENSE $2000 $300
FOURTH OFFENSE $3000 $400
FIFTH OFFENSE $4000 & Automatic Notification of the $500 & Automatic Notification of the
Board of Directors Board of Directors
</TABLE>
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, JENNISON RESERVES THE RIGHT TO NOTIFY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS FOR ANY VIOLATION.
Penalties shall be assessed over a rolling three year period. For example, if
over a three year period (year 1 through year 3), a person had four violations,
two in year 1, and one in each of the following years, the last violation in
year 3 would be considered a fourth offense. However, if in the subsequent year
(year 4), the person only had one violation of the policy, this violation would
be penalized at the third offense level because over the subsequent three year
period (from year 2 through year 4), there were only three violations. Thus, if
a person had no violations over a three year period, a subsequent offense would
be considered a first offense, notwithstanding the fact that the person may have
violated the policy prior to the three year period.
B. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
Such violations occur if Jennison does not receive a broker confirmation within
ten (10) business days following the end of the quarter in which a transaction
occurs or if JACC does not routinely receive brokerage statements. Evidence of
written notices to brokers of Jennison's requirement and assistance in resolving
problems will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriateness
of penalties.

</TABLE>
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, JENNISON RESERVES THE RIGHT TO NOTIFY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS FOR ANY VIOLATION.
C. PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF SHORT-TERM TRADING PROFIT RULE
Any profits realized from the purchase and sale or the sale
and purchase of the same (or equivalent) securities within 60 calendar
days shall be disgorged to the firm, net of taxes. "Profits realized"
shall be calculated consistent with interpretations under section 16(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which requires
matching any purchase and sale that occur with in a 60 calendar day
period without regard to the order of the purchase or the sale during
the period. As such, a person who sold a security and then repurchased
the same (or equivalent) security would need to disgorge a profit if
matching the purchase and the sale would result in a profit.
Conversely, if matching the purchase and sale would result in a loss,
profits would not be disgorged.
D. OTHER POLICY INFRINGEMENTS WILL BE DEALT WITH ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
PENALTIES WILL BE COMMENSURATE WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE VIOLATION.
Serious violations would include:
A. Failure to abide by the determination of the Personal
Committee.
B. Failure to submit pre-approval for securities in
which Jennison actively trades.
E. DISGORGED PROFITS
Profits disgorged to the firm shall be donated to a charitable
organization selected by the firm in the name of the firm. Such funds
may be donated to such organization at such time as the firm
determines.
