3 3 Investment mix and diversification Investment mix  Percentage of: Stocks Bonds Short-term Diversification  Investing in different types of: Stocks Bonds Short-term investments Neither diversification nor asset allocation ensures a profit or guarantees against a loss.

4 4 Your mix of investments is one of your most important decisions Spreading your investments strategically among the three main investment types can help you: Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and results may vary depending on market conditions and an individual’s particular asset allocation and security allocation.  Reduce portfolio risk and volatility  Align your investments with your time horizon, financial situation, and risk tolerance  Enhance the potential for increased and more consistent returns  Tap into market opportunities  Avoid the pitfalls of market timing Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. Stocks Higher Potential Risk Higher Potential Return Bonds Short-Term Moderate Potential Risk Moderate Potential Return Lower Potential Risk Lower Potential Return

5 5 In the short term An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds. Unlike most FDIC-insured CDs and bank products, a money market fund’s yield and return will vary. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government.  Money market, T-bills, CDs  Relatively stable value  Potential to pay interest  Lower risk, lower potential return

6 6 What about bonds?  I.O.U.s  Debt securities  Issued by governments and corporations  Potential to pay interest  Moderate risk, moderate potential return

7 7 Take stock  Share of a company, “equity”  Long-term growth potential  Value can go up and down  Higher risk, higher potential return

The asset class (index) returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. This chart is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual or future performance of any investment option. It is not possible to invest directly in a market index. Stocks are represented by the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500 ® Index). The S&P 500 ® Index is a registered service mark of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and has been licensed for use by Fidelity Distributors Corporation and its affiliates. It is an unmanaged index of the common stock prices of 500 widely held U.S. stocks that includes the reinvestment of dividends. Bonds are represented by the U.S. Intermediate Government Bond Index, which is an unmanaged index that includes the reinvestment of interest income. Short-term instruments are represented by U.S. Treasury bills, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Inflation is represented by the Consumer Price Index, (CPI) is a widely recognized measure of inflation, calculated by the U.S. government. Stock prices are more volatile than those of other securities. Government bonds and corporate bonds have more moderate short-term price fluctuations than stocks but provide lower potential long-term returns. U.S. Treasury bills maintain a stable value (if held to maturity), but returns are only slightly above the inflation rate. 457643.5.1 How $100 grew over 50 years (1960 – 2009) $100 1960 2009 Stocks $9,133 Bonds $3,110 Inflation $737 Short-term investments $1,341

13 13 Finding the right fit For illustrative purposes only. The purpose of the target asset mixes is to show how target asset mixes may be created with different risk and return characteristics to help meet a participant’s goals. You should choose your own investments based on your particular objectives and situation. Remember, you may change how your account is invested. Be sure to review your decisions periodically to make sure they are still consistent with your goals. You should also consider any investments you may have outside the plan when making your investment choices. The target asset mixes presented in this publication were developed by Strategic Advisers, Inc., a registered investment adviser and Fidelity Investments company, based on the needs of a typical retirement plan participant. Strategic Advisoers, Inc. is adjusting its target asset mixes, as of November, 2009, to increase the percentage of international equity to 30% of the overall equity portion of each target asset mix. Domestic Stock Foreign Stock Bond Short-term Investments Aggressive GrowthGrowth May be appropriate for investors: Comfortable with wide fluctuation > 10 years until retirement goal Looking to minimize fluctuation < 5 years until retirement goal Comfortable with significant fluctuation > 5 years until retirement goal May be appropriate for investors: Conservative May be appropriate for investors: Comfortable with moderate fluctuation < 5 years until retirement goal Balanced 60% 10% 25% 5% 60% 15% 25% 35% 40% 15% 10% 6% 14% 50% 30% 5%

14 14 The importance of diversification  take advantage of market conditions  protect against downturns Spreading your investment dollar among and within the various investment types may help you: Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. The value of securities of smaller issuers may be more volatile than those of larger issuers. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole. They can remain undervalued by the market for long periods of time. Lower quality securities generally offer higher yields, but also carry more risk. International investments involve greater risk and may offer greater potential return than U.S. investments. These risks include political and economic risks as well as the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets. Stock values are more volatile than other securities because they fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies, and general market and economic conditions. You may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.

This risk includes political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk of currency fluctuation. Stocks

17 Diversifying your bonds: maturity and quality In general the bond market is volatile and bonds entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall and vice versa). This effect is usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Bonds also entail the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk and inflation risk. Lower-quality debt securities {generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss. Maturity Quality Short Intermediate Long High Low Moderate Bonds

18 Diversifying your short-term investments HOWTYPE By type of short-term investment Money market funds vs. U.S. Government funds By issuer Banks Government Other financial institutions An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds. Unlike mutual funds, most CDs and U.S. Treasuries offer a fixed rate of return and guarantee payment of principal if held to maturity. Unlike most bank products such as CDs, money market mutual funds are not FDIC insured. Short-term
