I. Describe the Current Service Being Changed (If unrelated to any existing service, do not complete):

 

  A. This Purchase Order specifically addresses the modification of the Investment Options being offered on behalf of the Program.

 

II. Describe the Reason for Making the Change:

III. The Proposed Change:

 

  A. Adding up to 3 new funds, terminating and mapping assets in the Balanced Fund to the Moderate Risk Fund.

 

  B. Attendance and preparation for project meetings (external) sessions from May 2010 through August 2010 for IPS Implementation Services and IT project personnel not otherwise part of the ABA RF Program Services Unit required by the Agreement (see Section VII for additional staffing details). Meetings consist of reviewing ING Best Practices, tracking requirements and Action Items Log.
