Wire Redemption Privilege. An investor may request by wire or

the investor's account at a bank which is a member of the Federal
Reserve System, or a correspondent bank if the investor's bank is
not a member. An investor may direct that redemption proceeds be
paid by check (maximum $150,000 per day) made out to the owners
of record and mailed to the investor's address. Redemption
proceeds of less than $1,000 will be paid automatically by check.
Holders of jointly registered Fund or bank accounts may have
redemption proceeds of only up to $250,000 wired within any 30-
day period. The Fund reserves the right to refuse any redemption
request, including requests made shortly after a change of
address, and may limit the amount involved or the number of such
requests.
Telephone Redemption Privilege. An investor may redeem Fund
shares (maximum $150,000 per day) by telephone if the investor
has checked the appropriate box on the Fund's Account Application
or has filed an Optional Services Form with the Transfer Agent.
The redemption proceeds will be paid by check and mailed to the
investor's address. An investor may telephone redemption
instructions by calling 1-800-221-4060 or, if the investor is
calling from overseas, 1-401-455-3306. The Fund reserves the
right to refuse any request made by telephone, including requests
made shortly after a change of address, and may limit the amount
involved or the number of telephone redemption requests. This
Privilege may be modified or terminated at any time by the
Transfer Agent or the Fund. Shares held under Keogh Plans, IRAs
or other retirement plans, and shares for which certificates have
been issued, are not eligible for this Privilege.
