Independent Fiduciary Services, Inc. (IFS)
This exemption is effective as of November 3, 2000. In Application Number D-10960, IFS acting as named fiduciary for an account (the Diplomat Account) that holds on behalf of the Plumbers and Pipe Fitters National Pension Fund (the Fund) interests in a limited partnership (the Partnership) -- the sole asset of which is commonly known as the Diplomat Resort Hotel and Country Club (the Property) -- sought and received relief similar to that provided to qualified professional assets managers under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-14 (PTCE 84-14). The relief was necessary because IFS does not satisfy the Diverse Clientele Test found in Part I(e) of PTCE 84-14.
In application number D-10971, IFS requested and received a change to the administrative exemption (PTE 99-46) which allowed the Fund to acquire the Property from the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada, AFL-CIO. The requested change to PTE 99-46 modifies a material representation that the total amount of the Fund assets at risk (i.e., the Fund's investment in the Partnership plus any recourse debt in excess of the value of the assets in the Partnership) as a result of the acquisition and development of the Property would not exceed 13 percent of the Funds assets (the 13% Limitation). In light of the fact that IFS expects to exceed the 13% Limitation before the development of the Property is finished, IFS requested that the Fund be permitted to expend up to $800 million to complete the project. In the opinion of LaSalle Investment Management, Inc., the Fund's real estate manager, the additional funding of up to $800 million is sufficient to complete the development of the Property and is the best financing solution currently available to the Partnership, prior to completion of the project.

Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation
Exemption amends PTE 99-45, an exemption granted to DLJ. PTE 99-45, which is effective as of September 24, 1999, relates to: (1) the purchase or sale of a security between certain affiliates of DLJ which are foreign broker dealers (the Foreign Affiliates) and employee benefit plans (the Plans) with respect to which the Foreign Affiliates are parties in interest, including options written by a Plan, DLJ or the Foreign Affiliates; (2) the extension of credit to the Plans by the Foreign Affiliates to permit the settlement of securities transactions that are effected on either an agency or principal basis, or in connection with the writing of options contracts; and (3) the lending of securities to the Foreign Affiliates by the Plans.
The exemption (which is effective November 3, 2000) incorporates by reference many of the facts, representations and conditions contained in PTE 99-45. However, the exemption expands the scope of PTE 99-45 to apply not only to current and future Foreign Affiliates of DLJ that are located in the United Kingdom and Australia, and which are subject to the securities regulatory entities within these jurisdictions, but to current and future Foreign Affiliates of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation (CSFB), also located in the United Kingdom and Australia. CSFB, a Massachusetts-based broker-dealer registered with the SEC, is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group (CSG). CSG is the current parent of DLJ.
