The bank is authorized by the person(s) signing this card ("depositors") to

Depositors will be subject to the bank's rules and regulations governing such
checking accounts including the right of the bank not to honor checks in amounts
exceeding the value of the depositor's shareholder account with the "fund" at
the time the check is presented for payment. The undersigned understands that
there may be bank service charges in connection with the program (i.e., for
insufficient funds or for checks written under $100) which will be deducted from
the undersigned's investor account.
Depositors hereby authorize the "fund" or its redemption agent to honor
redemption requests presented in the above manner by the bank. It is further
agreed as follows:
(1) All items must be a minimum amount, if so printed on the face of the check,
or they will be returned to the depositor marked "non-sufficient funds".
Deposits into the account may be made only by the "fund".
(2) Cancelled checks will be returned to the depositor(s) once monthly.
(3) The account may not be used for any purpose other than the presentment,
forwarding and payment of checks relating to a mutual fund share account in

any time upon notification mailed to the address noted on the reverse side
