Gentlemen:
We are purchasing from you shares of your common stock, $.01 par value for an
aggregate purchase price of $100,000 allocable as follows: 2,000 shares of
Limited Maturity Fixed Income Portfolio at a price per share of $10.00; 2,000

2,000 shares of Diversified Stock Portfolio at a price per share of $10.00;
2,000 shares of Balanced Portfolio at a price per share of $10.00; and
20,000 shares of U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio at a price per share
of $1.00, to provide the initial capital you require pursuant to Section 14
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 in order to make a public offering of
your shares. We hereby represent that we are acquiring said shares for
investment and not for distribution or resale to the public.
As you know, we are advancing to you 50% of organization expenses.
Accordingly, we hereby further represent that in the event we redeem the
share referred to above prior to complete amortization by you of your
organization expenses, the amount we receive upon redemption may be reduced
by the proportionate amount which 50% of the total unamortized balance bears
to the number of shares being redeemed. For this purpose, the proportionate
amount is based on the ratio of the number of shares originally issued by you
in connection with the furnishing of the initial capital.
Very truly yours,
AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
