Annuity Investment Option Monitor Report
Report as of November 30, 2009

NEA Member Benefits is pleased to provide you with the following NEA Valuebuilder Variable Annuity TSA Monitor Report. We provide this report to help you more easily review the performance of the underlying investment options available through the NEA Valuebuilder TSA Variable Annuity.

NEA Member Benefits established variable performance criteria to provide an objective means of evaluating the NEA Valuebuilder investment options.

One particular criterion is that if the performance of an underlying investment option, over a three-year period, falls below the mid-point ranking when compared to all of the other options in its asset category for three consecutive months, it is placed on monitor status. The investment option remains on monitor status until its three-year performance returns to the upper half of its asset category for three consecutive months.

For example, if a particular option with a strong performance record drops its three-year performance to a ranking of 51 or higher, out of a total of 100 options in an asset category for three monthly reporting periods, the option would be placed on “monitor status” and remain there until its three-year performance ranking reached 50 or better for at least three monthly reporting periods in a row.
